This place serves such a refreshing change of pace from overly sugary bubble teas in Pittsburgh. I think it rivals my previous favorite, from I Tea Cafe in Shadyside.
- The bubble teas are not cheap ($4.55 after tax), but they're decently large at least.
- There are only a handful of flavors to choose from for bubble tea.
+ FINALLY, bubble tea that doesn't make me feel like I'm chugging sugar. I had the coconut flavor, which was nice and subtly sweet. My boyfriend got the regular bubble milk tea, which bordered on the side of bland to me (but he liked it). Still, it's nice to feel a little healthier while sipping your drink (or at least... less unhealthy).
+ Our boba was also a perfect consistency! Just the right level of chewiness, and there's a good amount in the drink.
Mostly, I'm happy that there's a decent bubble tea place in Oakland closer to where I live. I also like that I don't have to feel crazy guilty about ingesting so much sugar. Both are big pluses for me!
