Rustic Bubble Tea Cafe

Delicious teas! We will definitely be back. The Thai Tea is classically tasty. The tapioca boba were perfect in my opinion, not hard, not too gummy. My husband got a Blueberry mango Red Bull infusion with pomegranate bubbles. It’s SO good. Carbonated and fruity. The service was very friendly, helpful and quick.

Register folks need to learn better customer service. Tried to order some food item on the menu and the only response I got was, “no food”. Seeking more clarification and I got the same answer, “no food”. I ordered a taro smoothie instead. It was too sweet and barely had boba in it. I’m not one to waste food but I did not finish it. Ambience looked great. Maybe it was a bad day and I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt but that needs improvement.

I was looking for a new place to get some fruity drinks and this place blew me away with the variety of flavors. The girl who served me was polite and helpful in helping me choose a good smoothie because I was new to the place. And she was very patient with me. Very knowledgeable of what flavors were good. Which I was not disappointed. Will be recommending to friends and family. New favorite place to get drinks from.

Very delicious taro milk tea. Boba was the perfect texture. I only wish they were still making pho and bun.

Really really really bad. In all aspects. Service was bad - the two men working the register were not friendly. The food is AWFUL and overpriced. On top of the tepid taste of the flash-reheated, previously frozen snacks, portions were also super meager. $15 for less than 4 ounces of food.

If you have experience at boba+snack shops from a larger city with a more substantial Asian population (Boston, New York, LA, Chicago, SF, etc.) you will have a misguided expectation trying to get Taiwanese street snacks (popcorn chicken, fried calamari, etc.) at Rustic compared to shops in those cities. This place is nothing like any of the decent street-food snack shops I've previously frequented, and would advise someone seeking that type of food to avoid this place.

Always a good experience, been going here for years. Unfortunately they had to stop serving food since Covid began in 2020 so desserts and drinks are the main menu now. The boba is always the perfect texture and their flavors are vast!

The cup really didn’t lie! Their boba is the best!!! I got a Lychee green tea with Lychee jellies, best thing ever! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Totally recommend!!!

Really generous menu offerings of tea, bubble tea, and food. Small but spacious with comfortable seating.

Not too fancy but great selection. Could be a great place for a very first date. It’s the kind of place that communicates that you like someone and hope to get acquainted - but no pressure! And whoever you go with or take with you is likely to find something to enjoy.

I tried it out bc it’s near my doctor’s office; now it may become one of my go-to locations.

I tried the fish and chips - not greasy & very satisfying - plus blueberry green tea - refreshing and healthy - with some boba added on top. And they sweetened it w/ honey, not sugar per my request.

Informal and friendly management. A little hard to find bc it’s tucked between Crunch Fitness and Subway, and the sign is in dark letters. But easy to remember the location once you’ve been there. It’s in the new Manzano Shopping Center at Lomas and Juan Tabo, facing out towards Juan Tabo. It’s also a few hundred feet south and east of Burger King.

It’s nice how they’re close to both Burger King and Subway, but a much better alternative to both!

I have been coming here for six years. The place is great and delicious Boba in comparison to other stores in Albuquerque. The owner is polite. Highly recommend and let's support Rustic Bubble Tea for continued business. I give it 5 stars rating.

TL;DR: It's extraordinarily good, and a great place meals and quick bites.

Rustic is a cozy, beautiful, and clean café with quality service. Their boba tea is very high quality, and food is authentic Viet. The egg rolls and spring rolls or an amazing harmony of flavour. The rice dish is beautifully crafted and seasoned to perfection. This is a must go for everybody searching for an amazing experience of food and culture.
