I love it. You haven't had real bubble tea until you go to Taiwan:

Bubble tea rules!! But it's almost as expensive a habbit as sobubi :|

Also have to say that, as it has become a growing 'fad' lately in north america, there are sure a lot of places popping up, and with that, some really shitty ones. This is just to say that, if you have tried it but weren't too impressed, give it a chance from somewhere decent before you make up your mind. Since a lot of places are using powdered mixes, proper blending is key, otherwise you end up with a chalky dissapointment. Mix and match flavours if you can too, it's all about experimentation.

Black milk tea with wheat germ flakes was my drink of choice. I used to drink it so much that I'd get kind of sick of it halfway through and start shooting the bubbles at passing cars with my brother.

i love it. usually get the smoothie variety in lychee flavor. you have to get the tapioca but the problem is that it fills you up like you just ate a cup full of jelly beans.

Taro icey with no boba.

Boba shops sprouted like mad on the Asian areas of LA 10 years back. About 1/2 closed shop to be replaced with the current frozen yogurt craze.

Taro for me as well. But what would you guys rather have? lots of bubble tea places with some of them being shitty. Or having just one or two... like we do in Mex... :(
As for the frozen yogurt craze... It's a funny thing, here they tried opening shops some years ago and again, only one remained. Now, suddenly, this last year there's like 50 or something...

Honey Milk Green Tea, half sugar, with boba. My work days are even better when the Mighty Boba truck is parked out front.

I've never tried any with pudding or jelly, does anyone here enjoy that option over boba?

Bwana will always be the Bubble Tea king...

I enjoy it occasionally. Ten Rens is my favorite local place to go for it. I little pricey, but I think it is well worth it.

I love the slush part, not the tapioca too much. There's a place In Chandler AZ that makes really good Boba slushes, forget the name though... :?

I've been all about boba drinks forever!

I'm not so much into the slushes or smoothie ones, but more the milk and milky teas! With boba of course, taro milk drink is probably my favorite.

I like Tea Station as well. Probably my second favorite place. Pretty similar to Ten Ren actually.

God damn. I dont care what anyone says. Ice Cream is WAY better than that frozen yogurt shit all of them hipsters are eating these days. Everywhere I go...almost as bad as when Starbucks used to be multiplying like bunnies... :evil:

You don't have to be a hipster to enjoy frozen yogurt...frozen yogurt and ice cream can coexist :?
