First Round
112 Hrubetz Rd SE, Salem, OR
Crema's Take
“First Round is a charming Salem spot that's mastered the art of made-to-order boba and crepes with genuine care—their brown sugar milk tea with tapioca hits that perfect sweet spot, and their crepes are generously filled with the kind of warmth that keeps customers coming back. What really sets this place apart is the personal touch, whether it's Sydney introducing newcomers to boba culture or the team's willingness to customize drinks exactly how you want them, all at prices that feel fair and honest. It's the kind of neighborhood favorite where quality ingredients, creative drink combinations, and real hospitality make every visit feel special.”

Absolutely loved this place! The boba was perfectly made not too sweet, super fresh, and full of flavor. The crepes were just as amazing: soft, warm, and filled generously. Everything tasted high quality and made with care. I especially want to shout out Ava, who made our experience even better. She was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming, and you can tell she really cares about customers. Her positive attitude and great service stood out and made us want to come back again. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving boba or crepes great food, great vibes, and amazing service!

Such a cute little Boba place! They opened about a year ago and I finally had the chance to check it out! Their prices were great and the drinks were perfect! They had a lot of options and they were pretty quick making our drinks. I will definitely come back so I can try a crepe because they looked delicious! The decor is very trendy and contemporary! Parking was free and readily available.
Delicious bubble tea, can recommend the brown sugar milk tea with tapioca and coffee jelly. There are lots of different teas/blends and add-ons allowing for individual customization. Can ask for no ice, half sugar, etc… Cute interior with nice, clean bathrooms, fun music selection and comfortable ambiance. Crepes were underwhelming and not worth the price. Tried both the Strawberry Dream Crepe and the Morning Roll. Would come back for drinks in the future, but skipping the crepes next time. Staff were friendly and attentive. Various coloring sheets and colored pencils/crayons were available for kids and/or the artsy customer. They put my colored page on the wall right before I left. :)
