Uplifting Asian American Food, Beverage, Community

  • It all starts with our innovative menu which is the blend of our bi-cultural upbringings, taking inspiration from our Chinese, Taiwanese, and American backgrounds. When executed with our “Commitments to Excellence”, our products stand out when it comes to quality and creativity.

  • To be a third place for families and friends to gather, for first dates, for study sessions, we simply love being a big or small part of all the stories that come through our doors.

  • We aim to create a positive space for our team members where all feel welcome and passionate about sharing our product and story with each guest.

BOPOMOFO CAFE draws its name from the phonetic Traditional Chinese Alphabets. ㄅ, ㄆ, ㄇ, and ㄈ [bo, po, mo, and fo] are the “ABCs” of the Mandarin Chinese alphabet symbolizing nostalgia and strength as the building blocks of Mandarin language mastery. Co-founders Eric and Philip, both "American Born Chinese" (ABC), chose the name to reflect their heritage and shared pride in their culture.

Growing up with the third wave of bubble tea—marked by powdered creamers and artificial syrups—we set out to offer something different: a refined, elevated experience. From the very beginning, we've been committed to inclusivity, offering lactose-free whole milk or oat milk substitutions at no extra cost. Our teas are brewed fresh daily, our juices are real, and we prioritize natural, fresh ingredients that taste as good as they feel.

Driven by a love of culinary innovation, we proudly share dishes inspired by our heritage and the fusion of our upbringing. BOPOMOFO CAFE is a place where boba and burgers coexist in perfect, delectable harmony.
