We’ve made the decision to close our shop, and while it’s bittersweet, we’re so grateful for everyone who has supported us along the way. This chapter is coming to an end, but because so many of you have told us you’ll miss us, we’re already planning to pop up at farmers markets—probably sooner than we expected. To keep updated, Instagram is the best way to go @TheBobaBarTN!
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We’ll share more details soon, but for now, just know this isn’t goodbye—it’s just a change of scenery. See you soon! Our last day at the shop is February 28th, but we will be applying for farmers markets and events ASAP.
handcrafted drinks
the shop
Everything about our shop has been thoroughly thought out. All drinks have been mastered, down to every measurement (that’s why you’ll notice we don’t have a sweetness or ice level; more info in our FAQ!). Quality, consistency, and natural ingredients are all very important to us. The only time you’ll see that an item isn’t natural or made from scratch is when we decided that the quality and flavor is best for that drink. Quality is above everything else in our drinks. Innovation and uniqueness is always something that we’re striving for and thinking about when we do anything here- making boba from scratch, using a unique cup shape, creating different monthly/sesonal drinks, crafting syrups made from scratch, offering distinct toppings, & practicing our innovative crafting methods. Sustainability is always in mind for us. Since we are a small business, it’s our responsibility to make sure that we use whatever resources we have to stay as green as we can. Of course, we wouldn’t be able to do this without amazing customers, supporters, and family. Customer service and a welcoming environment are crucial for us. We want to be a staple in our community and make everyone here feel welcomed and appreciated!
the owners
We are a family-owned, couple-run small start up business! I (Anna) have been passionate about boba tea for 7 years and Carl and I have been planning out this business for 3 years. Cooking and crafting drinks has always been my creative outlet because I believe that making food and drinks is a form of art that you can eat/drink. I got into boba tea specifically because I thought it was such a creative, unique concept with so many ways to make it. For many years, we have traveled all over the US trying many different teas in different major cities. While traveling, I was still in school and earned a bachelor’s degree from MTSU in Nutrition, learning about nutrition, food safety, and culinary practices. During this time, we have been constantly experimenting with boba tea, making it for family, friends, and coworkers to master the recipes. We want to share with y’all the drinks we’ve worked on and mastered!
