We are Barnabas Tea Co. — Topeka’s original boba destination with a heart. We like tea. We love people. West Ridge Mall is a full tea shop: bubble tea (fruit tea with bursting pearls), boba and milk tea with tapioca, house kombucha from our Booch Master, cafe tea cookies, paninis, and artisanal loose leaf. Washburn Memorial Union is the campus shop — same pour, campus hours. What is different: the cup is the point, and so is the person making it. Students gain hours, skill, and a crew each shift. Paid leads run the floor. You get a drink made with care, not a lecture. Forged in flavor and friendship. Ask for your usual or the monthly signature. If it is your first boba, we will walk you through it. West Ridge Mall — Mon–Thu 11–7, Fri–Sat 11–8, closed Sunday. Enter by Petland, toward the food court. Washburn — Mon–Thu 11–7, Fri 11–2. Closed Saturday, Sunday, and any day the university has no class. Open through finals. Tea people. We have time.
