Purpose Although the bubble tea market has been growing rapidly in recent years, not many studies have been conducted to understand why consumers revisit bubble tea stores. This study aims to understand consumers' intention to revisit bubble tea stores drawing on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Design/methodology/approach Using the online survey method, data are collected from 166 bubble tea drinkers in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is used to verify the hypotheses. Findings The findings indicate that attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control have a significant positive influence on revisit intention. In addition, product quality, price fairness and store atmosphere have a significant positive influence on attitudes. Support is not found for the positive influence of service quality on attitudes. Originality/value This study provides fresh insights into the factors that influence consumers' intention to revisit bubble tea stores with empirical data from Malaysia. Furthermore, this study also offers useful practical recommendations to bubble tea store owners or franchisers on how to retain consumers
