- Our Story
A boba and tea house in the Drake neighborhood
8 Degrees Cafe & Boba is at 1315 31st St, Suite A, Des Moines, with boba, a tea house series, Vietnamese coffee and smoothies.
Crafting every degree of flavor
Welcome to 8 Degrees Cafe & Boba – The Tea House, proudly serving Des Moines since 2018. Discover handcrafted premium teas, refreshing fruit teas, creamy milk teas, specialty coffees, and delicious Asian-inspired desserts. Every drink is thoughtfully crafted with quality ingredients, unique flavors, and a passion for bringing people together. Sip, relax, and enjoy the 8 Degrees experience!
The line printed on our cups reads: crafting every degree of flavor. We want to bring our customers the most authentic boba tea with the freshest ingredients we can get our hands on.
That starts with the pearls, which are cooked fresh every day. The new Tea House series goes further: premium jasmine, osmanthus and camellia oolong teas, and milk teas served with a jelly infused with the same tea. The 8 Degrees Vietnamese Coffee is dark roast dripped slowly through a metal phin.
The rest of the menu runs from fruit teas like G-Dragon and the 8 Degrees Refresher to Pink Lady, smoothies, Dalgona and Lava drinks, and the new Cloud Espresso drinks. Milk teas start at $5.95.
Come sit down with friends or family, or settle in with a laptop. For a birthday or small party, ask about decorating the room, then plan it with us.
What makes us different
Pearls cooked fresh every day, jellies made from the tea itself
Our pearls are cooked fresh daily, so they are never left over from yesterday. For the new Tea House series the jelly is infused with the same jasmine, osmanthus or matcha as the drink it goes in, and the 8 Degrees Vietnamese Coffee is dark roast dripped slowly through a metal phin.
