About
Our story begins in 2012 when, travelling around Singapore, our founder Kishan first discovered the glorious delight of a bubble tea and decided to bring it back home with him. Since the very beginning, we have consistently served refreshingly tasty bubble tea in several unique flavour combinations, as well as a wide range of coffee, smoothies, and tasty snacks straight from South-East Asia. At Bubblebase, we truly have something for everyone. Our family run enterprise is proudly independent, where we strive to put our local Welsh community at the heart of our business and aim to continue to deliver the highest quality of service to them.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My friend recommended I try bubble tea, so when I saw some bubble tea places during a visit to Cardiff earlier this week, I decided to give it a go. I told the server that I’d never had it before, so she talked me through it. I ended up choosing an oreo bubble tea with popping tapioca balls. It was absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, I didn’t have time for another visit as I left early the following morning, but I will definitely be back when I next visit Cardiff.

Great customer service. Staff are very friendly and helpful in helping you decide what drink you might prefer. The prices are quite reasonable for the quantity given and there are soo many flavours to choose from. Orders are completed very quickly and to the best of their ability. I always come here and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I wanted to try a new drink for my birthday so I came here with my friends. The server/maker was ever so friendly and answered all my questions. I chose the Taro and it was great. When I'm next in Cardiff I will come here again and try more flavours. They do have the best tapioca pearls!

Been here multiple times now, trying various combinations, and every single one has been amazing. The staff are friendly and great to talk to, and the drinks taste amazing. They are also decent prices for Bubble Tea

staff are lovely, drinks were great and didn’t take forever which is good for a bubble tea place because a lot of the time you can be waiting for up to 30 minutes and it really only took about 2 minutes. great 🫶

I am obsessed with bubble tea from here. I was scared to try it in case I didn’t like it but I’m hooked and every time I go to town I have to get one! I normally get the mango base with strawberry bubbles which compliment each other beautifully. If you are unsure what flavours to get though, the staff are so helpful so will be happy to help you!

Took my daughter here to try the drinks, I must admit I was curious myself. Once you overcome the weird sensation the bubble tea is nice, strawberry bubbles bursting in your mouth. One of the drinks wasn't quite right and the staff immediately changed it with a bonus large drink, very good customer service.

My little girl was desperate to try bubble tea after seeing it online. She was not disappoint. The staff were really helpful in telling us how it works and recommending the flavours. It's was yummy but strange at the same time. Once we got used to the popping bubbles it was amazing. Unfortunately we l8ve over 100 miles away but we are back in Cardiff this weekend and the first place we will visit is here.

I really love Bubblebase, the drinks taste great and they have a huge selection of flavours and bubbles to choose from. The staff are all really friendly and welcoming which is great. Whenever I'm in Cardiff, I always make sure I get a bubble tea because they are so good. They made my drink really quickly so I wasn't waiting for ages like another bubble tea place I went to in Cardiff who were very rude and took forever to make my drink. If anyone is in Cardiff, I highly recommend Bubblebase as THE place to go for bubble tea. LOVE IT!!! <3

Had a very nice bubble milk tea here, bubble was kept in a nice texture, which is tender chewing.
Enjoyed my drink, highly recommend.

Nothing but good things to say about bubble base, best bobo tea I've ever had. Lovely range of choices, milk, fruit, even coffee bubble tea - which is amazingly relaxing. Very friendly staff, happy to talk and give advice if you feel overwhelmed. Going here many more times.

What an awful experience I had today with your staff! I ordered my drink I was waiting 15 minutes before I received it and everyone else who ordered after me got there order first, I was given my drink and told them thats not what I ordered the staff replied rudely that thats what I asked for and thats what I'm getting, I told them exactly what I ordered and they then told me that you don't do this drink which is strange considering I'm a regular customer and have the same every time, I asked if they could re do the drink I ordered as this isn't what I ordered or wanted, they replied back saying "thats what you ordered thats what your getting" the man who served me was extremely rude and said your not getting anything else and continued to be extremly unpleasant towards me, I continued to say well thats not what i ordered if your not gonna redo my drink can I have my money back instead please? He then continued to be extremely rude to me and told me I wouldn't get what I ordered and payed for or my money back shouting in front of other customers as well! The customer service at this establishment is absolutely disgusting so not only did I not get the drink I ordered I didnt receive any money back and left with nothing. The owner of this business seriously Needs to look at the staff members you've employed as it was the most awful customer service I've ever experienced. I will not be returning and giving any money to you again after this!! Left feeling angry, upset and out of pocket! Please address your staff issues for the sake of your business!
