Best Bubble Tea I've had — and I've tried a few
Having eaten Bubble Tea at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The subtly sweet and aromatic quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. scallion is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference.

Bubble Tea for a dinner party — went down extremely well

Restaurant review — Bubble Tea that actually delivered

Why Bubble Tea deserves more attention
