I actually came to Chatime like 4 or 5 times already. (Every time you blew like over $5 for a bubble tea).
Grass jelly with roasted tea is my favorite. I like the fact that I can choose my sugar level (which is usually no sugar), and amount of ice. (which is less ice).
The bubbles they have is cooked perfect, so thumbs up for that. The selection of the type of tea are slightly more than other bubble tea shop. I am talking about the different type of tea. not the one with different added flavors.
I would avoid just getting plain tea because they add water to dilute the tea and it just doesn't taste right. However, if you add bubble or grass jelly to it, they seem to work better together.
Huge line up every time I come here. And then I realize, it was the slow service they have at the desk. This place only serves tea, and tea only. And most of the people are buying it as take out. The people who works there seems to be all under training or something so it is taking them a long time to punch in the orders.
I still come here sometimes because they still serve better tea than 168 or any other tea shop near by. The only other tea shop I would visit is Tenren. Both are just as good.
