The Owner
Hello, My name is Melissa & I am the proud owner of Lola's Boba's! I was born in Manila, Philippines then moved to Panama City, growing up in Lynn haven and Callaway area. As time went on I worked for many years as a hairdresser and then began working in the Food Industry for the past 10 years. I always dreamed of opening my own cafe or restaurant one day, while including inspiration from my Filipino-American Heritage! With the help of family and friends we have been able to make this dream a reality!
More about us
Founded by Melissa and Scott Whitehurst from Panama City, Florida, Lola's Boba's is the Bubble Tea and Dessert cafe currently taking residence in Callaway, Florida. What started out as a love bubble tea and desserts, quickly turned into an idea for a cafe where everyone who loves bubble tea can come together. Using our knowledge of the food industry and inspiration from our Filipino roots we have created a fun and delicious menu for everyone to enjoy!
When deciding on a name, we thought who better to name our shop after than the matriarch of our family. In Tagalog "Lola" means grandma, in our case our Lola's name is Thelma.
