| - These new bubble tea shops opening up every minute really takes a toll on my bank account. And my health. Nonetheless, I obviously had to try this place out because build-your-own anything is super trendy and when you slap a cute lab theme on it you can be sure I'm on board.
After a ridiculous amount of time in line (understandable since a certain city's blog made a post about it ), my friends and I got to the flava station. I won't delve too much into the process of creating your drink, but you pay for each ingredient you pick with some certain limits and restrictions.
I combined matcha and raspberry powder for my milk tea and was told twice that it was a risky combination. Little did they know I like living life on the edge. After waiting an hour in line, paying ~$7 for my drink, telling myself "ignore the haters, you have great taste and this drink is gonna be revolutionary" and receiving my finished concoction, all I could say was "WOW! This is bland! I'm disappointed!" Not a hint of matcha, but that might be because it was overpowered by the not-raspberry raspberry flavour. I did try my friend's and it, too didn't blow my socks off. Would I come back to try another combination? Nah. I really did want to like this place, but there's better quality bubble tea without the gimmicks, so I don't think I'll be returning.
