The sweet half of the shop.
Behind every great drink is a counter stacked with thick bakehouse cookies and authentic Italian gelato — small-batch, made fresh, made to be the reason you came.
A cookie with serious weight.
Nearly half a pound each — small-batch, stacked thick with chunks, crisp at the edge and molten in the middle. Big-flavor monsters that rotate often and disappear fast. This is our answer to the hype.
- ✓ Thick, half-pound bakehouse cookies
- ✓ Loaded with real chunks & mix-ins
- ✓ New rotating flavors, baked in small batches
Scooped to order.

"Let's chill with Daboba"
Crafted by a Taiwan-trained team
Our Kendall shop is family-owned and operated — proudly part of the international Daboba family — serving Miami since 2018 with a simple belief: to taste is to enjoy. Our team trained in Taiwan to bring authentic bubble tea to Miami: real tea leaves, fresh milk, and tapioca pearls cooked the right way, every single day.
Taste the difference →Questions Miami asks us
Straight answers about the shop — in English y en español.
Is Daboba family-owned?
Yes — our Kendall shop is family-owned and operated, part of the international Daboba family. We opened in 2018, and our team trained in Taiwan to make bubble tea the traditional way: real tea leaves, fresh milk, and tapioca pearls cooked fresh throughout the day.
Does Daboba have desserts, or just boba?
We're a full dessert shop: fresh-baked cookies (our Italian cookies are a house bestseller), an artisan gelato counter with cups from $7, cones from $8, and gelato milkshakes at $12 — plus 55+ drinks. Boba, cookies, and gelato under one roof.
What are Daboba's hours?
Open every day of the week, 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM — including Sundays. Evenings until 10 PM make us a favorite after-dinner dessert stop in Kendall.
Is there parking?
Yes — free parking right in front of the shop in our plaza at 8711 SW 124th Ave, Miami, FL 33183.
What is Daboba best known for?
Roasted brown-sugar boba, taro milk tea made with real taro, Thai tea, and fresh milk teas. Pearls are cooked in-house every day — never sitting overnight.
Is Daboba good for kids and families?
Very — we're a family spot. Kids love the gelato and cookies, parents get real Taiwanese milk tea, and there's seating to hang out. Great for an after-school treat or a family dessert run.
Does Daboba deliver?
Yes — order on Uber Eats, DoorDash, or GrubHub, or skip the line by ordering online for pickup. Delivery covers the Kendall and West Kendall area.
Do you have sugar-free or low-sugar options?
Yes — every drink is made to order, so you choose your sweetness level all the way down to 0% sugar. Just ask for your tea "sugar-free" or "half sweet" at the counter.
Do you have vegan or dairy-free options?
Yes — fruit teas contain no dairy, any fresh-milk drink can be made with oat or almond milk, tapioca pearls are plant-based, and we carry vegan gelato options (ask which flavors that day). Heads up for milk allergies: our classic milk teas use a traditional Taiwanese creamer that contains milk-derived ingredients (whey, caseinate) — choose fruit teas or oat/almond drinks instead.
Do you have oat milk or almond milk?
Both — any fresh-milk drink can be made with oat or almond milk instead. That's the fully dairy-free route, along with our fruit teas.
Do you serve customers in Spanish?
Claro que sí — our team serves you in English or Spanish, whichever you prefer.
Lo que Kendall nos pregunta
¿Daboba es un negocio familiar?
Sí — nuestra tienda de Kendall es operada por una familia local, y formamos parte de la familia internacional Daboba. Abrimos en 2018 y nuestro equipo se entrenó en Taiwán para preparar bubble tea de la forma tradicional: té de hojas reales, leche fresca y perlas de tapioca cocinadas frescas cada día.
¿Qué postres tienen además del boba?
Somos una tienda de postres completa: galletas recién horneadas (las galletas italianas son las favoritas), un mostrador de gelato artesanal — copas desde $7, conos desde $8 y milkshakes de gelato a $12 — y más de 55 bebidas.
¿Cuál es el horario de Daboba?
Abierto todos los días de 12:00 PM a 10:00 PM, incluyendo domingos. Por la noche somos la parada favorita de postre después de la cena en Kendall.
¿Buscan una heladería en Kendall?
Nuestro gelato artesanal se hace al estilo italiano: más denso y cremoso que el helado tradicional. Copas desde $7 en el mostrador, todos los días hasta las 10 PM, en 8711 SW 124th Ave.
¿Es buen lugar para merendar con niños?
Sí — somos un lugar familiar. A los niños les encanta el gelato y las galletas, los papás disfrutan el té taiwanés auténtico, y hay asientos para quedarse un rato. Perfecto para la merienda después del colegio.
¿Cuál es el mejor té de Daboba?
Los favoritos: boba de azúcar morena tostada, té de taro con taro de verdad, té tailandés y milk teas de leche fresca. Las perlas se cocinan en casa todos los días.
¿Hacen entregas a domicilio?
Sí — pide por Uber Eats, DoorDash o GrubHub, o haz tu pedido en línea para recoger. Cubrimos Kendall y West Kendall.
¿Tienen opciones sin azúcar?
Sí — cada bebida se prepara al momento y tú eliges el nivel de dulce, hasta 0% de azúcar. Solo pídela "sin azúcar" o "mitad de dulce" en el mostrador.
¿Tienen opciones veganas o sin lácteos?
Sí — los tés de frutas no llevan lácteos, cualquier bebida de leche fresca se puede preparar con avena o almendra, las perlas de tapioca son de origen vegetal, y tenemos opciones de gelato vegano (pregunta los sabores del día). Ojo si tienes alergia a la leche: los milk teas clásicos usan una crema estilo taiwanés que contiene derivados de leche (suero y caseinato) — elige tés de frutas o bebidas con avena/almendra.
¿Tienen leche de avena o de almendras?
Las dos — cualquier bebida de leche fresca se puede preparar con avena o almendra. Esa es la ruta 100% sin lácteos, junto con los tés de frutas.
