There isn't much I can add about this globally successful tea house franchise that hasn't already been stated in its other 150+ reviews. The shop is constantly filled with weaving lines that make it difficult to find seating. Good problems?
The popularity of this franchise is undeniable, so I thought I'd try to help out first time customers with some recommendations:
1) My favourite drinks are the roasted milk tea with grass jelly and the pearl milk tea.
2) Don't be afraid to venture away from traditional tapioca and into other types of jellies that they offer (although their tapioca preparation is fantastic).
3) You can adjust the amount of ice and sugar in your drink. I always ask for "less ice". Who needs a drink that cold?
4) Take a good look at their entire menu - they offer 80+ flavours. You'll have a great chance to check it out while waiting in line.
Hope your experience at Chatime is as great as its millions of customers' around the world!
