Started from one little cart on a Bugis side-lane — now a Singapore boba favourite

Boba Lane began in 2018 on a quiet side-lane off Bugis Street, where two friends rolled out a single cart with one rule: everything made fresh, by hand, with real ingredients. No powders, no pre-mixes — just tea brewed every morning and pearls cooked through the day.

Word travelled fast. The queue for our Classic Pearl Milk Tea and that first Gula Melaka Boba spilled down the lane, and within a year we opened our first proper store. Today we handcraft over 2.4 million cups a year across 12 outlets, but every single one is still made the way it was on that first cart.

We are proudest of our local drops — the Gula Melaka Boba, Pandan Coconut Milk Tea and Kopi-O Boba that taste like Singapore. We cook fresh pearls every two hours, use 100% real fruit, and let you dial in your sweetness and ice exactly how you like it. This is bubble tea, made with care, on our lane.
