If you’ve seen people walking around Accra sipping from tall cups filled with colorful drinks and chewy little pearls at the bottom, welcome to the world of boba tea (or bubble tea, if you prefer). Originally from Taiwan, this sweet, milky, and endlessly customizable drink has become a global sensation, and Accra has officially joined the craze.
In this post, we’ll take you through the best spots in Accra to get your boba fix: from cozy teahouses to trendy cafés serving up inventive local twists. Ready to find your new favorite drink? Let’s dive in.
What is Boba or “Bubble” Tea?
Boba (or bubble) tea is a drink typically made from a tea base (often black or green tea), mixed with milk or fruit flavoring, often sweetened, served cold or iced.
What makes it special are the “pearls”: chewy tapioca balls (or sometimes “popping” pearls that burst) added at the bottom. You drink it through a wide straw so you can get both the drink and the pearls.
There are lots of variations: milk teas, fruit teas, “slushies”, different syrups and toppings (jelly, grass jelly, foam/creams, etc.).

Boba tea has become a trendy hangout drink among students and young professionals in Accra, especially around areas like East Legon and Osu.
