Mochi Fresh Homemade Boba Milk Tea
Mochi Fresh earned its reputation as Arizona's first boba shop to make tapioca pearls entirely from scratch, a distinction that separates it from nearly every other bubble tea spot in the Phoenix metro. Located steps from ASU on University Drive in Tempe, the shop crafts homemade boba in flavors like strawberry and mango, paired with organic loose-leaf teas, real fruit, and fresh whole milk rather than powder or syrup. Signature drinks include the Taro Milk Tea with homemade taro boba and a crowd-favorite Thai Tea, both holding a 4.8-star Yelp average across hundreds of reviews. If you care about what actually goes into your bubble tea, this Tempe shop is the standard.
