I've heard alot about Chatime from my friends so i decided to try it out. After waiting a long time in line due to the cashier chatting with the customers in front of me, It was finally my turn to order. The cashier wasnt nearly as friendly with me as she was with people infront of me so that was kind of disappointing, then I finally order my drink and somehow my drink was ready before the people infront of me causing mass confusion, then when I tried my drink (QQ honeydew milk tea with less sugar) its was super-sweet, almost undrinkable, I feel like they messed up the amout of sugar. It was obviously made from a powder, and the tapioca bubbles were too chewy, almost like gum. I did enjoy the purple straws ... so they've got that going for them. Overall I was very disappointed with my experience here. I guess ive been spoiled by other quality bubble tea shops.
Also im not sure why Chatime is rated $ and Comebuy is rated $$$, their prices are the same except Comebuy is way better.
