XIBOBA, Bali Dewi Sri

As I stepped into XIBOBA, nestled in the heart of Bali Dewi Sri, I was instantly transported back to my childhood. The warm ambiance and the inviting aroma of freshly brewed drinks reminded me of my mother’s kitchen, where every meal was a celebration of love and family. The café has a unique charm that resonates with anyone who cherishes those nostalgic moments of togetherness.
My journey began with the fresh milk boba, which, while pleasant, felt a bit ordinary. It was a gentle reminder that not every experience can be extraordinary, but it left me curious to explore the other flavors on the menu. Perhaps next time, I’ll discover a hidden gem that will take my taste buds on an unforgettable adventure.
However, the salted caramel dalgona boba was a delightful surprise! The balance of sweetness was just right, making it a perfect choice for anyone with a sweet tooth. It was a moment of pure bliss, where each sip felt like a warm hug, wrapping me in comfort and joy.
While the café offers a plethora of menu options, I found the crunchy signature chocolate to be the standout. Its delightful texture and rich flavor made it a memorable treat that I would recommend to anyone visiting. The variety available ensures that there’s something for everyone, making it a great spot for family gatherings or a casual catch-up with friends.
One thing to note is that if you’re interested in promotional items, it’s wise to inquire beforehand. On my last visit, I discovered that they weren’t participating in the promotion, which was a bit disappointing. But it’s a small hiccup in an otherwise lovely experience.
Overall, the staff at XIBOBA were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the warm atmosphere of the café. The sweetness of the salted caramel was just right, echoing the sentiments of other patrons who praised the balance of flavors. It’s clear that this place is not just about food; it’s about creating memories and sharing moments that touch the heart.
As I left XIBOBA, I felt a sense of warmth and nostalgia. This café is more than just a place to grab a drink; it’s a sanctuary for those seeking comfort in flavors that remind us of home. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu, hoping to relive those cherished memories while creating new ones.

So, let me take you on a little adventure to Xiboba Dewi Sri in Bali, where I decided to treat myself to some bubble tea goodness. Located on Jl. Dewi Sri Raya No. 18, this place is like a treasure chest for boba lovers. I mean, who doesn’t want to sip on some sweet, chewy pearls while pretending to be a sophisticated tea connoisseur?
First up, I tried the Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk Regular. Now, let me tell you, this drink is like a warm hug from your grandma, but with a lot more sugar and a lot less judgment. It’s pretty good, as one reviewer said, and I couldn’t agree more! I felt like I was floating on a cloud of sweetness. Seriously, if clouds tasted like this, I’d be a weather reporter just to hang out up there!
Next, I went for the Signature Matcha Dalgona With Hokkaido Milk Pudding. Now, this drink is like a fancy party in a cup. It’s got matcha, which makes you feel all zen and stuff, and then there’s the Hokkaido milk pudding that’s so creamy, it could probably win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in a Dessert Role. I took a sip and thought, “Wow, I could drink this while meditating on a mountaintop.” But then I remembered I was in Legian, not the Himalayas, and I had to get back to reality.
Now, let’s talk about the atmosphere. It’s got that chill vibe, but honestly, it’s not winning any awards for ambiance. It’s like that friend who’s always down to hang out but never really brings the snacks. The service? Well, let’s just say it’s as reliable as your friend who says they’ll be ready in five minutes but shows up an hour later. But hey, we’re here for the boba, not the service, right?
As for the price, it’s pretty reasonable. You can get your bubble tea fix for around Rp25,000-50,000. That’s like, less than a fancy coffee, and way more fun! Just don’t expect Michelin-star service; you’re here for the boba, not a five-course meal.
In conclusion, if you’re in Bali and craving some bubble tea, Xiboba Dewi Sri is worth a visit. Just remember to bring your sense of humor and maybe a friend who can handle your sugar highs. Cheers to boba adventures!
