Tiny Bubbles Tea Bar

I got their peach cream with peach poppers. The drink was decent. The place was decent as well. It has a cute store right next door. So it looks cute.

Walking into the door, I immediately knew what I was here for, the milk tea with tapioca pearls. The wait in line was about 5 minutes and we were greeted with one of their friendliest workers. They were very kind but I made a huge mistake in ordering the jumbo size, wayyyy too much bubble tea. Although the wait for our drinks was quite long, there was a gift shop connected to the tiny bubbles store so time passed quickly. The overall quality of the milk tea was average but the texture of the tapioca pearls was perfect. Everyone I was with, thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was a good after lunch treat.

One star for the location and beautiful café lounge space they have. But zero stars for the bubble tea. You don’t know how excited I was when I found out boba tea is in the square, that means I don’t have to trek to Buford highway for my cravings. But talk about disappointment to the max. I asked for aloe jelly and they gave me lychee. The little girls behind the counter has no idea what a bubble tea is. They advertised creamy and what I had tasted watered down and warm. Seriously you need some Asian training on how to make a boba tea or train your staff by watching YouTube videos on how to make bubble tea. What a waste of beautiful space. Maybe next time I’ll just try regular tea and hopefully they won’t botch this as well. Sorry it’s thumbs down for me.

Cute place. Ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee. Definitely not like Sweet Hut or any other authentic Asian café. I ordered a large and I barely have any boba, taste like basic iced coffee. It wasn’t busy and it took them 6min to make my coffee. I can say I tried it but I won’t be coming back.

Finally a legit bubble tea spot outside of Buford highway.
The décor is very restoration hardware, it’s trendy but is supposed to pass for rustic. I like it. Great spot for a date or a quick sweet drink.
I got the ginger peach tea with rainbow jelly for $ 5. I added some macaroons (3 for $ 7) for an extra treat.
My drink was very sweet and that’s what I wanted. I love that when it was handed to me they stressed that if I wasn’t happy with how it tasted, they’d fix it for me. It’s all about the customer service touch.
I like the different boba and jelly options. They even have those juice filled balls that explode in your mouth. They offer typical Asian bubble tea options like lavender or taro. They also offer great infusions such as Pineapple avocado,

I feel conflicted about bubble tea places that are v obviously Americanized and not owned by an Asian person. On one hand, I’m glad cultures beyond Asian ones are enjoying bubble tea; on the other hand, I’d rather support Asian immigrants. The bubble tea here was fine in and of itself, but I’d really much rather support the Asian-​owned businesses. Gonna make the trip over to Buford Hwy or Duluth next time I want bubbles.

I give it one star because although the tea is amazing, if you ever go when they have a limited menu, and don’t like what they make you, they will not make it right. Traditional boba is made with black tea, and yet I couldn’t get just a black tea. Very disappointed to spend $ 5 on a tea I threw away.

The location is adorable and tucked away in Marietta Square. The staff was extremely helpful about the whole experience, but specifically helpful on how to decide which bubble tea to build since it was our very first time. We got a chance to smell the leaves before hand, and got in depth flavor profiles.
The bubble tea was amazing. Our order was a thai bubble tea with tapioca bubbles. Absolutely enjoyed it, and will come again!

To be honest; at first I thought it was good, but as I kept drinking this now amazing «honey dew» with mango popping pearls… I do love this place in literally 15 min this place Grew on me! I will definitely be back! Good Job to the staff for providing excellent customer service!!!

I go to the square once in a while I live in the Woodstock area. I dropped by tiny bubbles.
I love this little quaint tiny bubbles tea bar. Quality excellent, variety offered excellent, communication to clients and co workers great. Loved it the the ambiance and would recommend anyone. drop by you’re next time in Marietta Square area.

I have been wanting to try this place for a long while. My friend and I are ginormous fans of Boba tea. I ordered a Passion Tea with Boba, super yummy! Customer service was excellent!
Then…
My friend ordered a Vietnamese Coffee-​iced, regular sized. What he received was a iced, Vietnamese Coffee with mocha. Let’s just say, not a happy camper. The only thing that Baristas could do was make the drink less or more sweet or add an additional favor. I found out later that they can make a different drink for half the cost. Personally, I do not like this policy… this drink was one my friend did not like — he is not the type to complain… but after hearing what the Baristas could do… he was about to leave and never give this Little Bubbles a chance… I stepped in.
I approached two workers, one just happened to be a manager… I asked the manager about the drink policy. They said they normally cannot make another drink for the customer if the customer is not happy. They could of course make the drink less or more sweet. Or pay half price for additional drink… I mentioned that this was our first time trying this Tea Shop and that I write reviews about the places I try… all pleasant experiences, but tonight was a little different… the manager listened and delivered a new drink… my friend drank the entire drink! Sucess! Maybe he will come again with friends, I hope soo!
I understand that the drink policy can help keep this business stay honest, but I personally feel like this policy can be tweaked to foster new customer growth. Overall, customer service was fantastic!

Tiny Bubbles is a completely legit Bubble Tea spot in the Marietta Square. The people are super friendly and there is a little shop connected in the back (Vineyard Café?) where you can browse while waiting for your order. If you are new to the joint or have never tried Bubble Tea before, they are more than happy to give you the scoop — get it? Haha, I kill myself!
Anyway, a must try!

I visited Tiny Bubbles with my girlfriend after walking through Marietta Square. I love this concept but I’m not entirely sold on the execution yet. However, I will definitely return and give Tiny Bubbles a second chance.
Tiny Bubbles is a specialty tea shop on the western side of Marietta Square, near Hemingway’s. The shop is small but well put-​together. There is a tea bar, small shop, and seating.
The staff was a highlight at Tiny Bubbles. They were knowledgeable, and would patiently explain things to customers who had not had something like their Thai Tea (or any bubble tea) before. My tea was okay, and my girlfriend had the same opinion. However, we were spoiled by the great drinks we had when were were in Asia, so we’re probably more picky than most! We didn’t try any of the desserts, but they looked pretty good. Other reviews indicate that the tea may have improved since our visit a couple of months ago. It was a little expensive, but given the location, it was worth it. They are definitely trying their hardest, which I appreciate.
There were a few small issues. The space is very small, so there isn’t ample seating. This is fine if you want to get your tea to go and walk around the Square. If you’re looking for the coffee shop vibe where you sit and study for hours, this is definitely not the place. The same applies to parking — it can be a real problem in Marietta Square. In fairness to Tiny Bubbles, the Square has plenty of places to sit, so the seating isn’t as big a deal as it would be in another location. It’s also scenic and different for the area, which I like. It’s not what I would have expected to stumble across, and that’s a good thing.
Overall, I think Tiny Bubbles is a cool place, especially if you are already in the Square. I wouldn’t drive too far out of my way to visit it yet, if you have a good alternative nearby. However, this could change if they continue to improve, and I will definitely visit again.

The boba was cooked just right. I had the taro with boba and it was great. They give very little ice unlike most of the other bubble tea shops I’ve been to where it’s almost all ice. Personal preference I would have like a little more ice but who can complain about to little ice.
I also had a pumpkin macaroon and this is where the 5 star rating turned into a 4 star. I’m sure their other flavors are delightful but the pumpkin needs a little work imho. Maybe a pumpkin purée filling.
The place is decorated nicely and the chairs are comfy.

As soon as I walked in, I liked the place. Tiny Bubbles is a little trendy tea bar in Marietta square. As their name said it, they offer bubble teas. What’s more, they use high quality loose leaf tea to make it. Or so they claim.
Somehow, I ended up getting the same old royal milk tea again. I was also a little shocked that there was only one size for bubble teas. And they were not cheap: $ 4.75 to be specific.
But the drink came out super fast, plus the barista made an effort to make sure I liked the sweetness. Well, it was a little sweet for my taste. I didn’t bother to ask for remaking. However, I felt the tea inside was quite fresh and high quality. And the bubbles! These were some of the best bubbles I’ve ever tasted. Soft, not sticky to each other, and just on spot.
Even though I am not quite happy with the price (Come on, even high quality tea only costs $ 1), I am kinda sure that I’ll revisit it for their nice little bubbles and all the other flavors.

Menu was interesting yet confusing. Not a typical asian tea bar menu.
I had to ask the girl at the counter few questions before placing the order and they dont have any other add ins except tapioca pearls. She told me they are kind of new and still figuring out menu and all.
I had the nutella milk tea which was good .
The place itself was tiny, young and hip.

Let me start off by saying that Tiny Bubbles will not give you your traditional Taiwanese boba. I was spoiled for choice in California, but for good authentic bubble tea in Atlanta it seems like one’s only option is the beloved Buford Highway (*Note the sarcasm, I’m new to the area, but can’t go a day without someone mentioning this culinary mecca) That being said, Tiny Bubbles is a great option for a good ‘olé drink. It’s a quaint shop in the even quainter Marietta Square, has free Wifi, and offers you cool flavors like Peaches and Cream (the BOMBEST of them all!).
Also, I’ve gone a few times since they opened back in April and I have to say that their customer service is second to none. The workers are very friendly. Initially they seemed to be overly generous with boba — I started asking for less — but I am happy to say that the tapioca-​to-​tea ratio is finally ON POINT. And the tapioca balls (boba) seem chewier — could just be in my head…
Anyway, check out Tiny Bubbles if you’re in Marietta!
And no hate to Buford highway ;-)

I just have to recommend this place as a great little treat after a good or bad day. Even if you are just out and about with a friend, spend some quality time here in this interment and charming atmosphere where you will be treated like an old friend by the staff!
Really, the ladies working here are all great and work as a fine team! I have seen establishments in a narrow and cramped place where staff gave an air of discomfort or feeling like the keep stepping on each other’s toes or feelings. Not THESE ladies though! They are like a single unit that has customers feeling comfortable and at home. I can say this after a fee times visiting already.
The only thing that matches their superb service is the quality of the bubble tea. They have a little something for everyone and it aims to please! I am a big chocolate lover and the Nutella bubble tea is so very tasty and worth an extra trip out for.
For a place just to chill, try something new, or catch up with a friend in a cool place, give Tiny Bubbles a shot and let the ladies their show you what I mean.
Actions speak louder than words!

Cobb County and the Atlanta northwest OTP suburbs now have some real bubble tea. I emphasize «real» because I haven’t had great experiences with bubble tea in Cobb up to this point. I was pleasantly surprised with my first visit to Tiny Bubbles Tea Bar, Marietta’s new bubble tea shop located on the Square. It opened April 24, 2015.
For those of you familiar with bubble tea, Tiny Bubbles isn’t your typical Asian-​owned bubble tea joint. It’s not like Quickly, Kung Fu Tea, or Sweet Hut on Buford Highway. (Note: A Sweet Hut location in Kennesaw is supposedly in the works.) It’s more along the lines of Poncey-Highland’s Honey Bubble — trendy, but instead of a modern-​industrial feel, it’s more of a homey «mom and pop» shop. There are less Asian flavors like Winter Melon and White Gourd and more «American-​friendly» flavors like Peaches & Cream, Pina Colada, and Chocolate-​Covered Strawberries.
Tiny Bubbles fits in nicely with Marietta Square and the surrounding neighborhood. It looks like a little boutique. That’s because it partially is. The back of the store houses The Vineyard Gift Shop, a small store that stocks an ever-​rotating selection of unique gifts. You can buy the same loose leaf teas used to make the tea at Tiny Bubbles inside the The Vineyard Gift Shop. Both stores are owned by the same family. One of the owners, Brielle, is friendly and enthusiastic. Best of all, she positively engages and listens to her customers and is receptive and open to new ideas.
The shop isn’t very big. There’s seating inside for about 10 – 15 customers at tables and a counter at the window which faces the Square. There are also umbrella-​covered tables outside on the charming sidewalk patio.
For those of you not familiar with bubble tea, it’s a tea beverage from Taiwan. Bubble tea is typically sweet, milky, served on ice, and has sweetened tapioca pearls (a.k.a. «boba») on the bottom which are sucked up with the tea through extra-​wide straws.
Tiny Bubbles brews its teas in-​house and add a variety of sweeteners including brown sugar, honey, and sweetened condensed milk. There are over 15 creamy teas which include flavors such as Almond Rooibos (caffeine-​free herbal tea), Vanilla Chai, Matcha (green tea), Thai, Royal Milk, and Taro. These run about $ 4 – 5 each in 20 – 24 ounce servings. Toppings (e.g. tapioca pearls, popping boba) are included. Options include black or green tea as well as dairy-​free, organic soy milk, and coconut milk (on occasion).
There are about a half-​dozen clear fruit-​flavored teas, roughly $ 3 – 4 each, including Lychee, Mango, and Passion Fruit; «regular» iced teas (e.g. Peach iced tea) and hot teas including French press tea that run about $ 3 each; and strong, Cold Brew Coffee and Vietnamese Iced Coffee for around $ 4 each. In addition, there are small treats such as macarons (2 for $ 3.50), $ 2 scones from local bakery Seven Sisters Scones, as well as cakes and muffins for sale.
Credit cards are accepted and payments are processed via the snazzy ShopKeep POS system on an iPad. Receipts can be conveniently sent to you via text or email.
I tried one of Tiny Bubbles’ most popular teas, the Peaches & Cream, which was winner of «Tastiest Beverage» at Taste of Marietta 2015. The tea was made to order and tasted good. I opted for the regular sweetness level and found it to be just right (for «regular» sweet). Since I prefer less sweet tea, I’ll probably ask for less sweet in the future. The tapioca pearls were okay. They were sufficiently soft and chewy, but not as delectably super soft (almost pudding-​like, but not quite) as I like them from the other places. Everyone’s preference (and preparation method) for boba is different.
In addition to tapioca, I got popping boba in my Peaches & Cream tea. You can get half tapioca and half popping boba and it will still count as only one topping. As best as I can recall, popping boba flavors available included strawberry, kiwi, mango, and one other fruit. I had the strawberry and it tasted fine, just like all the other popping boba I’ve tried, usually at frozen yogurt shops. Unlike regular boba, popping boba are spherical jellies that, when bit into, burst in your mouth with a fruity flavored liquid. Sort of like Fruit Gushers, but lighter and more delicate.
I also tried a special tea, Pineapple Avocado. It tasted exactly how it sounds. It had a bold, distinct flavor which was very fruity, tropical, and refreshing.
I like the sturdy plastic cups with open-​top, snap-​shut lids and the Tiny Bubbles branded corrugated cup sleeves with the #TinyBubblesTeaTime hashtag. These are nice, cute touches.
Sarah was one of our servers and she was great. Both she and her coworker were friendly and they were knowledgeable when it came to the menu.
Parking at Marietta Square is free if you can find a space. If you can’t, I suggest parking at the free surface lot behind Tiny Bubbles located across the railroad tracks near the corner of Mill St and N Marietta Pkwy.

I like it. I think the place looks cute. Tiny Bubbles Tea Bar isn’t your typical Asian boba tea shop. They’re your good, old, American bubble tea shop. So it’s not very Asian-​y. It’s very American, kinda like a Starbucks if you know what I mean.
They share their space with The Vineyard Café & Gift Shop. I think it’s a great idea to turn their «Café» into the bubble tea shop. Their bathrooms were interesting too. It was cute and small. They even have Poo Pourri in their bathroom with instructions if you have to use it.
They don’t have fancy Tea Sealer Machines or Boba Tea Shaker Machines. They do everything by hand. They don’t seal it either. So you don’t stab the top to drink. In fact, if you don’t like the flavor, they can change it for you by adding a bit more sweetener or tea.
Speaking of which, they seem very customer focused. It’s not like Quickly where they scream at you and make you hurry along. They’re very casual, polite, and friendly. I liked the lazy, comfy style.
I tried their Pineapple Avocado tea, which is available limited time only, and the classic Taro Milk Tea.
The Pineapple Avocado Tea wasn’t bad. The flavor of the pineapple was good, but I didn’t taste the avocado that much. I wish they had a pure Avocado smoothie. But until they get a blender, I have to be patient.
Their Taro Milk Tea tasted good. They have dairy alternatives. So I tried it with the almond milk. It was interesting. Almond milk has a very non-​milky flavor. It tastes like almonds. Like what Rachel says, they should have a different alternative like Soy or Lactaid. Also, the drink tasted a bit too powdery. Maybe they do need to shake it harder. But I still liked it. It tasted like good tea.
Their tapioca balls were on point. They had a nice, firm texture. And it tasted good.
Overall, I’m a fan. I wasn’t expecting too much from a non-​Asian boba tea shop. But they pleasantly surprised me. And I do like their focus on customer satisfaction. I hope they do well.

Until now, I’ve been going to Buford Highway to get my bubble fix. More recently, a Sweet Hut opened up in Midtown. But now Marietta has one of its own, and I hope they’re here to stay.
For those new to this, bubble tea is basically a tea + milk + flavoring of choice + tapioca pearls (aka bubbles). I tried their Nutella one since you can’t get that every where. The consistency was great, similar to others I’ve had, but the flavor was bordering on too sweet. I may try one of their clear ones next to avoid the sugar rush. They have a good mix of flavor options that blends classics (Taro, Chai) with twists (said Nutella, pina-​colada). Price is pretty standard, no complaints in that regard.
I would like to know if the sugar content can be tailored to your liking too. Even just offering the «half» option would be nice. Don’t need the 5-​point or 7-​point scale that some places have.
The staff is friendly, and eager to answer questions you may have. They don’t quite have a streamlined process of getting the drinks to you super fast like Sweet Hut– but they also don’t have 50 people in line.
The inside is brightly and cutely decorated. Kids would love it here. There’s some seating options, but overall narrow. And it could get crowded easily if there’s ever a rush of people. Thankfully, there are some seats outside to offset the lack of space.
Bonus, if you want to pass a few minutes while your drink is being made, the back leads right into the adjacent store with unique collectibles and gifts.
