Sorry it wasn't that good. "It's fine" she says. The one sentence that is terrible for every situation. Using boba as an example, "Sorry the boba wasn't that good", "It's fine". Dreadful! My old favorite boba shops have really gone downhill this past year and it's always been "its fine", what choice do I have? RIGHT? Well sometimes you just gotta go back to your humble beginnings.
No 1 Boba Tea has been around since I was hustling trading cards in elementary school by the dumpster at the recess area. A lot of times we get lost in the hype and all the new players joining the table forgetting how we got there. Memories of my mom taking me here after buying groceries at 99 Ranch Market surge into my brain with every sip. Or even when there was an ARCADE in the plaza. It is honestly not too hard to forget a place that is inside an inconspicuous "mall" that sells the most random things and with no real signage. I'm not sure what overcame to me come back here, but probably under the assumption that I was tired of the stale cup, icy service, hard life, overpriced station, and cafe don't tease me offerings. There is definitely light at the end of the tunnel homies.
The Hokkaido Milk Tea was the savior that pulled me out of the rubbish. It is brown sugar and honey like milk tea that made me a believer. The comical little sign on their cart that tells you their fruit is not for sale and strictly for making drinks tells me that their is real fruit in my drink. High fives for real watermelon smoothies! It's on the cheaper side too, and you can even get your obesity sized 32 oz boba as an offering (holyshetttttt 1 liter of Hokkaido Milk Tea = Sweet Heaven!) The little Chinese speaking ladies are adorable and theres no fee for credit cards.
