Finally, over in Mar Lee, check out BAMBU, which has earned four stars out of 82 reviews on Yelp. You can find the spot to score bubble tea, coffee, tea and smoothies at 1147 S. Federal Blvd.

Calvin G., who reviewed it on Jan. 9, said, "Technically a Vietnamese chè spot more than a boba spot, but they actually have very good chè and super solid boba. I was expecting less from the boba, but the tapioca balls were cooked perfectly for that soft outside and dry, chewy inside."
