FYI, traditional  "boba pearls" refer to the chewy tapioca orbs added to these refreshing tea drinks. Boba toppings are optional, and additional types include: popping pearls (usually made with fruit juice), jellies, pudding, red bean, and more. Kids can also customize drinks by changing sweetness levels (parents may want to step in here and choose a sweetness level below 100 percent sugar) and ice levels. Talk to bubble tea staff for their recommendations!

Boba Tea in Atlanta for Kids to Enjoy

1. Kung Fu Tea - Multiple Locations

If kids are trying bubble tea for the first time, go with one of the greats. Kung Fu Tea offers a huge, creative menu of kid-friendly options, including a Hershey's partnership, as well as colorful toppings and Princess Peach lids. I love taking my kids to the Marietta location (lots of board games and free balloons)—we fill up on tasty boba after visiting Monster Mini Golf or Catch Air next door.

2. Tiny Bubbles Tea Bar - Marietta and Woodstock

Part boba tea bar/part retail, Tiny Bubbles Tea Bar serves refreshing drinks, macarons, and desserts, as well as clever boba-themed merchandise (we're obsessed with the plushies). The OG downtown Marietta spot, central located on Marietta Square, is a wonderful place to visit on a low-key afternoon or during one of Marietta's many weekend festivals.

3. Tea Top Doraville - Doraville

If we're talking boba tea in Atlanta, we MUST include offerings at Peachtree Pavilion Shopping Center (anchored by Asian grocery chain Super H Mart). Not only will kids love ordering a sweet concoction from Tea Top, but they can wander the shopping center and try other Asian delicacies. My biggest recommendation? Even if your kids don't like sushi, they will LOVE neighboring Kura Revolving Sushi, with its robot waiter and converyor-belt table delivery!

4. Chicha San Chen - Duluth

One of Atlanta's newest boba tea spots, Chicha San Chen is an award-winning Taiwanese tea house serving high-quality, fresh tea creations. These expert tea brewers can help families select the ideal drink, all served in the signature twine drink holders.

5. ShareTea - Sandy Springs

There's a reason that boba superbrand ShareTea is on this list -- it's that good. In addition to iced bubble tea, kids can choose from fruity ice blends, ice cream toppings, and more. ShareTea sits near The Splatter Studio, Jump Start Gym, and The Springs Cinema for more kid-friendly fun.

6. Boba Craze - Buckhead

Located in Buckhead Village's gathering space, The Veranda, mobile tea house Boba Craze welcomes families to enjoy premium teas and fruit blends while they're shopping or gathering for an event. Great options for kids include the fruit teas, lemonade, and flavorful punches. The charming trailer offers delicious drinks with a friendly vibe.

7. Pearl's Tea - Multiple Locations

Georgia's own Pearl's Tea serves delicious drinks with seven locations throughout metro Atanta. Welcoming storefronts, colorful drinks, sweet treats like macarons, and an adorable logo entice any child. In fact, there is a "kid-friendly menu" to guide young boba drinkers, with popular options like strawberry brown sugar boba and mango milk latte. Make sure to ask about the secret menu!

8. Honey Bubble - Poncey Highland

Honey Bubble has been an Atlanta staple for more than 10 years because of its high-quality ingredients and friendly staff. For kids who love boba/toppings more than the drink itself, order Honey Bubble's avalanche bowls— flaky ice cream smothered in all different kinds of boba, candy, and syrups! Also try the seasonal Honey Bubble bear bottles (take home and reuse later).

9. Sweet Hut Bakery and Cafe - Multiple Locations

Sweet Hut is synonymous with sweet treats in Atlanta, so bring the kids here for drinks and desserts. Besides its extensive bubble tea and drink menu, Sweet Hut offers endless bakery items, many with an Asian twist. My kids love the chocolate Nutella buns and the Swiss rolls!
