Boho Tea Bar is always adding new items to the menu, so there is something new to try. Even if you do not like boba, there are options like lemonade and coffee. You can also request to leave the boba out. “I would recommend any of our lemoades, and we would just take the boba out if they don’t want it,” said Boho Tea employee Evelyn Amoroso. Boho Tea manager Grace Crofts recommends The Bomb Pop because “there is no boba in it, and it is easy to make.”

The Boho staff is also quick to recommend you a new drink, or if this is your first time visiting they will be sure to give you options. “I usually always go with The Mando or The Orange Dreamsicle, ” Said manager Gracie. Employee Evelyn recommends The Islander or The Purple Rain.

Opening up a location in Montevallo has given a spot for college students and others a place to hang out. “I think it has definitely given college students kind of a hangout,” said Gracie. “It is just this cozy chill place for everybody to come hang out, of any age really,” Evelyn said.
