Our top tips for using Popping Boba in your menu to attract customers and boost sales
1. Add Popping Boba to Coolers and Iced Teas for an on-trend summer menu
Experimenting with drinks that entice customers to return is ideal during the summer, and popping boba is a great way to add a twist to your coolers and iced teas. This aligns with the growing demand for creative drinks.
Mango, passionfruit, strawberry, and other tropical fruits are among some of the flavours of popping boba. These colourful, fruity pearls pop in the mouth, giving the drinks a new depth and instantly becoming a crowd favourite. Adding popping boba to your summer drink menu can elevate your business’s offerings and align you with the latest trends, all while delighting customers with an enjoyable and flavourful experience.
2. Add Popping Boba to smoothies, frappes, and even desserts for a pop of colour and flavour
Why limit yourself to drinks? Popping boba can be added to desserts, frappes, smoothies, and other menu items. Because of its adaptability, it can give practically every food and drink a lively and entertaining touch, enhancing its appearance and adding a taste explosion with each bite.
Adding popping boba to your smoothies or frappes is a surefire way to attract customers looking for something unique and Instagram-worthy. Combining creamy textures with the delightful boba pop creates a memorable eating and drinking experience that keeps customers returning for more.
Moreover, if your business offers desserts like parfaits, cakes, or yoghurt bowls, adding popping boba can enhance its appearance and flavour profile. The boba is a fun garnish that complements other toppings like fruit, granola, or whipped cream, making your dessert offerings stand out in the crowded market.

How toppings and sauces can transform your menu.
Adding toppings or sauces to your drinks, desserts, ice cream, or baked goods can elevate your menu, but why should you, as a business, invest in this?
- Versatility: Toppings and sauces provide countless creative options appropriate for baked products, desserts, and beverages.
- Improved customer experience: Adding layers of flavours and textures makes customers more satisfied with each bite and sip.
- Premium upsell potential: Gourmet and distinctive toppings enable businesses to raise pricing and boost profit margins. In recent research, the average price of adding additional toppings and sauces was 65p, and the most common price was 50p—customers are willing to pay a premium to personalise**!
- Extended shelf life: The longer shelf life of freeze-dried materials minimises waste and provides economical solutions.
Toppings and sauces are a perfect way to elevate your customer’s drink experience and overall satisfaction. These additions go beyond decoration, offering layers of flavour, texture, and visual appeal to attract your customers. The significance of presentation has never been more critical. Globally, the Instagram hashtag ‘desserts’ boasts 47.2 million posts. Unsurprisingly, millennials and Gen Z now depend on social media platforms as their primary “places to eat” search engines.
