Boba On The Go
-
What is Boba On The Go?
Boba On The Go is our way of making boba tea portable and accessible. We spent three months turning an empty sprinter van into a miniature version of our store, where we can take orders and make drinks from anywhere. The whole van is solar powered and runs on a lithium -ion battery. This eliminates pollution, as well as loud noises that most generators on other food trucks produce.

Why do we do it?
We built Boba On The Go because we didn’t want transportation or lack of visibility to be the reason someone doesn’t get to experience the joy of boba tea. When we park the truck on the University of Alabama campus, students who use walking as their primary form of transportation can get to us easily between classes. At events, we’re able to showcase our delicious products to people who might not otherwise come into our store.

How can I get Boba on the Go to cater at my event?
Go to the contact us page on our website or email us at bobamaniatea@gmail.com.
From there, we can either pre-make batches of the drinks of your choice, or we can make the drinks on the spot based on Boba on the Go’s menu.

Why are some of my favorite in-store drinks not stocked on the truck?
Due to space limitations, we typically opt to carry oolong tea for our fruit drinks rather than green tea, and we have only a select amount of fruit syrups available. We also cannot operate a blender on the truck, so blended drinks are not available. However, this gives you a chance to try some drinks you might not have otherwise tried!
-
Will you ever accept Dining Dollars or BamaCash on the truck?
We like to keep our prices as low as possible, and accepting such forms of payment would require an increase in our prices per drink. Therefore, as of right now, we only accept Cash, Credit, Apple Pay/Google Pay, and CashApp.

How do I find out where Boba on the Go will be?
We always post our food truck schedule on our Instagram (@bobamaniatea)! Our on-campus schedule is also on the Bama Dining website, and you can always ask us in-store if we will be attending any local events!
