About HeyBoba

HeyBoba is a Northern Ireland founded bubble tea and taiyaki brand that opened its doors back in 2020 and has since grown to five locations across the country (two franchised). The company said: “Fast forward to 2024, we now serve customers from our locations all over Northern Ireland and are ready to grow to the rest of the UK. We've always been frustrated with the poor quality of bubble tea that enter the UK market, and so we decided to be the catalyst for change.

“Every flavour has been personally vetted and tested by us. Our products are made with the most premium of ingredients sourced directly from Taiwan and Japan. Our menu is ever evolving to meet and set the latest trends in the industry. With a global market size currently valued at over £1.7 billion and projected growth to £2.97 billion by 2030, bubble tea is a trend that continues to evolve.

“We are the movers and shakers of bubble tea, offering the newest and most innovative drinks on the market. We bring both authentic Taiwanese bubble tea and traditional Japanese taiyaki waffles with a full turn-key solution.”
