-
There are no extra fees or service charges. The price in your official quote will be the exact amount you spend (even tax is included!). Tipping is not required, but will be appreciated :)
-
We just need a 6ft table (or two 6ft tables for any event serving more than 200 cups) with linens. We would also need an outlet if the Neon boba bar sign is selected. If the boba bar set up is outdoors under the sun, we highly recommend the venue to provide adequate shade for the drinks as well. We will bring everything else that is needed including ice, our standard printed menu, drink labels, and table top decor. You are welcome to provide your own signage if you’d like.
-
We have served up to 350 drinks in 2 hours. The line moves very fast due to our streamlined set up and experience with large events. Time extensions for our full service boba bar are available at an additional cost of $150 per hour.
-
Drink minimums for weekdays: 50
Drink minimums for weekends (Fri-Sun): 80
Each drink is 10 oz, so it is the perfect size to give your guests a small treat without having to commit to a large cup of boba. Many guests who love our drinks come back for seconds, or thirds!
-
In general, a good rule of thumb would be a 1:1 ratio for guest count and drink count. Usually this balances out those who don’t drink boba and those who get more than one drink. If you know your guests all love boba, ordering 20% more than the guest count could be a good idea. If your guests are not too familiar with boba, ordering 20% less than the guest count could be a good idea.
-
Set up typically takes a maximum of 1 hour. We will arrive 1 hour prior to your service start time to ensure that the Boba Bar opens on time. Clean up typically takes around 30 minutes.

We have crafted each drink to be enjoyable at any ice and sweetness level, but we recommend 100% Ice and 50% Sweet for a not too sweet yet tasty experience!

We use lactose free milk for all of our milk teas to ensure that everyone can enjoy our drinks worry free.

We use 100% real fruit juices not from concentrate and with no added sugars and no artificial flavoring. The sweetness and flavors of the juices come directly from the fruit itself.
