Our recipes have been mastered to create the best flavor and quality for you (yes, the amount of ice is part of the recipe!). Creating different levels may change the quality and ideal flavor of our drinks. However, if you’d like it adjusted, we can do that (for MOST drinks) upon request! Please note that any customizations may change the flavor and/or amount of the drink.
We don’t recommend customizations, as the recipes we’ve created have been mastered for best quality and flavor. However, we will do simple customizations upon request, but please know that a customization will change the intended flavor of the drink.
For our milk teas, we use regular dairy. However, we have 2 alternatives— Lactaid and oatmilk. Lactaid is lactose-free milk (still dairy, just without the lactose) and oatmilk is completely dairy-free.
We have one size, 24 oz. This is a standard size L drink at other shops. Our recipes are perfectly designed for this size.
Our Yakult drinks are 16oz in different packaging.
We make our boba 100% from scratch! Because of that, our boba pearls have no food coloring added. They are simply tapioca starch, brown sugar, and water!
Other boba pearls are pre-made, which means they are dyed (adding the black color), processed, and then boiled at a boba shop.
All drinks in our menu have a description including whether the drink is vegan or whether there is a vegan option available. If neither of those is noted in the description, it is NOT vegan and can NOT be made vegan.
Unless there is an asterisk on the drink on the menu, you pick your own topping. Boba is not already included in the drink because some people don’t want boba in their drink or prefer other toppings, so you get to pick your own topping.
“Boba” can refer to either the drink or the topping. Boba pearls/balls are a main topping for milk teas. Boba pearls are made from cassava root which is a starch that is mixed with water and sugar to make the soft & chewy pearls (which we make fresh in house!)
These are all nicknames for the drink. “Bubble” refers to the shaking of the drink. Boba tea is referring to the topping & drink. “Boba” is just a quick, shortened name for the drink. They are all (typically milk) tea drinks with toppings (typically boba pearls)
Because of their size, boba balls can be considered a choking hazard. It is recommended that those age 4 and under do not consume boba balls. Health wise, there are articles claiming that boba is dangerous to consume. The reason people believe that boba is dangerous is because we don’t digest it very well. However, boba is just as difficult to digest as any typical starchy carb.
We have several options for those who aren’t a fan of tea! We have Vietnamese coffee, brown sugar boba, Korean strawberry milk, all Yakult drinks, virgin strawberry daiquiris, limeade, and Vietnamese yogurt slush! Please take a look at all of our menu tabs to see the rest of our drinks & their descriptions!

We are at 700 Church St. Suite# 101 Nashville, TN 37203, which is in the Bennie Dillon Lofts, and just a quick 1 minute walk from the downtown public library!
There are 3 parking places near our shop! 1 parking garage at the library, 1 parking garage called the Davis Stone Garage, and a parking lot at 714 Church St. All 3 of these are a 1-2 minute walk from our shop. The library garage is $3 for 30 minute parking, $6 for 1 hour, and so on! (Parking in the library lot is free for 1.5 hrs if you’re actively in the library & get your parking ticket validated). The library parking is the easiest.
The best way to reach us is through our email, [email protected] OR on Instagram direct message @thebobabartn
Yes, we do! Please refer to our pinned post on our Instagram, @TheBobaBarTN for detailed information. To contact us for your event, please email us at [email protected] OR message us on Instagram with any information you have about your event (date, time, amount of drinks and/or people, location, whether you want delivery catering or pop up, and any information you feel is important).
We do deliveries with a minimum order of 20 drinks, and please note that pop ups (being a vendor for an event) and catering must be a large amount because we will have to close our shop in order to do them.
For small deliveries, we are on UberEats and DoorDash but our physical shop is our priority, so our hours and items are limited on third party delivery apps.
For all important information and updates, our Instagram is the best way to keep up to date @TheBobaBarTN. This includes seasonal drinks, dates we may close due to catering/delivery/pop ups or weather, where & when the events may be if it is a public event, hiring info, etc. For our hours, our Google should be accurate as well.
