This is my comfort drink. You could cut this cut this little gem out of Chandler and pluck it anywhere in SF or San Jose and it would hold its own against any other boba place there!
They have the traditional flavors like almond, and more "exotic" options such as lychee. Slushees teas and juices...they have a fairly good selection of concoctions. No, it's not as extensive as shops in Oakland's Chinatown, but hell, this is *Chandler* and A LOT better than I'd expected to find nine months ago!
Now...the true test of a boba house - the quality of its tapioca! Some places have pearls that are too mushy, some don't cook em quite long enough and end up soft on the outside but too firm on the inside, leaving you a tooth-sticking mess while chewing (try not to smile during).
Boba Tea House has near-perfect pearls. Not too soft (you can still use them as missiles should you choose as they do not stick to the straw), not too hard (your jaw won't ache).
As the pearls are my favorite part of boba teas, this fact alone earns them five stars in my book! The first time I went here I'd lived in Gilbert for about 3 months. I was a bit depressed because school is all-consuming, and I was really homesick for SF food. I wasn't expecting much. After popping the plastic cap with my over-sized straw and taking that oh-so-satisfying first suck 'n' chew, my eyes teared and I knew I'd eventually find my gastronomic place here.
All hail Boba Tea House!
