Bubble Tea Zurich – order online & get it delivered
Bubble tea has long been part of everyday life in Zurich – between Niederdorf, Langstrasse and Oerlikon you will find a boba shop on many corners. But if you want your drink exactly the way you like it, with your tea, your sweetness level and your toppings, the best place to make it is at home. At meinbubbletea.ch you order all the ingredients online and have them delivered to Zurich: tapioca pearls, popping boba, powders, syrups and accessories – free shipping from CHF 79.
Bubble tea in Zurich: shop or homemade?
Zurich has one of the liveliest boba scenes in Switzerland. Around the old town, in districts 3 and 4 and out in Oerlikon, plenty of bubble tea bars have opened in recent years, many of them with freshly cooked pearls and rotating seasonal flavours. If you are out and about, that is the fastest option.
Price is another matter: CHF 7 to 9 per cup is standard in Zurich, and more at prime locations. Add the waiting time – on a Saturday afternoon in Niederdorf you can easily queue for ten to fifteen minutes. And your choice ends with whatever is on the menu.
Homemade, you land at around CHF 5 per serving, a good third less. You set the sweetness freely instead of in 25 percent steps, you combine tea and toppings however you like, and you never queue. If you drink bubble tea regularly or mix for several people at once, making it at home is clearly cheaper.

How to make bubble tea — step by step
- Prepare the pearls: cook tapioca pearls as stated on the pack and let them sit briefly in sugar syrup. Popping boba go straight from the pack into the glass.
- Brew the tea: brew black, green or oolong tea strong and let it cool completely, otherwise the ice melts too quickly.
- Shake: combine tea, milk, powder or syrup with ice cubes and shake vigorously.
- Serve: pearls into the glass, drink on top, XXL straw in. More ideas in our recipes and in the brown sugar tiger milk tea recipe.
