This plays wins so hard!
The first time I saw boba was in 2005. A friend had brought a cup to class and I detested the idea. "Why would you eat when you're drinking!?" I said. "How is that any different that soggy bread?"
I just didn't get it.
Flashforward to the next year. My friend and I went to The Street because all the coffee places were closed on some holiday. The moment I walked in I saw that the walls were scribbled on by some local artists (famous and would-be's) and knew that I had to join in. I drew a picture of a panda and a dinosaur on the eastern wall and put a sticker up on the western one(it was taken down later). I then decided I ought to partake in this "boba" stuff.
It was awesome! I had a mango green tea with boba. Even poking the straw through the plastic at the top was fun. I guess it's all part of the experience.
Over the next semester, I came in once a week after band practice and talked with the owner. I learned that the name comes from a Korean word which means "street", but that alot of cafes in Korea use it as their name. She was really nice and help me out with my Korean homework.
Good atmosphere, good product, good people. How can you go wrong?
