Hell fuckin' yes. My favourites are Green Apple, Strawberry, Mango, and Taro. What about you? Why are people so scared of Tapioca? I have one friend who refuses to put them in his bubble tea because he thinks they're 'scary'. WTF?

 

[StrikerObi]

I've only had bubble tea once but it was fucking AWESOME.

 

[Mercury Fred]

So refreshing...
so...
chewy.

 

[heavy liquid]

Lychee's my favorite. I like the "icee" kind where it's mixed in with crushed ice, like a slurpee, rather than over the rocks.

Hmm... haven't had any in a while. Must get some!

I think tapoica just sounds scary...Even people who don't know what it looks like are afraid of it I love Bubble Tea, and since I live in T.O, we've got more locations than you can imagine downtown.

 

[neptunes]

There's like 5 bubble tea shops near my house.

 

[Baron Aloha]

WTF is bubble tea?

 

[BoboBrazil]

Yeah what is bubble tea and where do I get it?

 

[Fifty]

I prefer a nice green tea with milk version. Good stuff.

 

[BuddyC]

hmmm

*googles*

looks like there's a bubble tea shop in the mall. i'll check it out folks, thanks for keeping me cultured!

 

[BoboBrazil]

Where can I find bubble tea sold near me?

what's up with that? when i used to live there there were only a few shops around. i go back to visit a couple of years later and there are shops EVERYWHERE. there are even plenty of locations in tGTO.

some good stuff though. not that i was complaining - it just makes my manadatory bubble tea drink easier to find.

som's mandatory treats whenever visiting TO:

1) poutine
2) bubble tea
3) swiss chalet

goodness, i could go for any of those right now.

 

[DaveH]

Every summer I have this at least twice a week... good stuff.

Ugh, I fucking hate Swiss Chalet. Surely you can find something better. Also, our poutine pales in comparison to Montreal's. I can't think of a single good poutine spot in T.O....

 

[Mugen]

If you like Bubble Tea then you're either gay or really gay!

 

[soakrates]

In San Jose, there are about four or five of these places within walking distance of SJSU. My friends and I used to frequent Tapioca Express quite a bit, but recently their drinks have started to taste a little too manufactured. Now we usually just hit up this mom and pop tea place that opened up last year.

Fave flavors are strawberry, taro and green apple. I only occasionally take pearls though.

 

[tigerfan12345]

there is an excellent bubble tea place near my apt.

My fav is orange mango...fresh fruit is so refreshing. I usually get some rainbow lychee with it. There is also a variation where you can get a little vanilla icecream in it. AWESOME

 

[Draff]

Bubble tea's too expensive.

 

[jenov4]

Bubble Tea rocks! Especially in the T.O summer humidity. My personal fav. is Lychee then it's Pineapple.

 

[Ferrio]

No bubble tea in this damn town.

well, no shit montreal's poutine is better. i'm just not going on a 6 hour right just for some poutine, lol. besides, when you live in a place like delaware and are devoid of any type of poutine, you take what you can get!

as for swiss chalet, it's not whether it's good or not (because it's definitely not the best food you can get in TO) - it's more a matter of nostalgia. i grew up eating that stuff every saturday.

Bubble tea's too expensive

I pay $2.50 for a really large cup of it. That's cheaper than a latte here.

 

[Defensor]

I prefer SnowBubble without the boba. Lolicup is really the best way to go.

 

[Draff]

I pay $2.50 for a really large cup of it. That's cheaper than a latte here.

The places here sell it for $4.50 and use powder for flavouring And last time I went to Toronto, it was about the same, although they have places that use actual fruits.

 

[sc0la]

It was fucking everywhere when I went to college. I avoided it at all possible costs. Don't know why really. Just didn't look good to me.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

bubble tea ROCKS!


Taro is the best!


edit: the best part of bubble Tea is the tapioca who wouldnt want it ?

 

[Error Macro]

You know what the gelatin in tapioca is made of? OMGWTF. But I lurves it anyways!! HAHAHA

 

[Kabuki Waq]

DONT TELL ME!!!

 

[RedDwarf]

Without exaggerating , there's probably about 30 places I can get bubble tea at in Boston. That's probably why the price isn't insane.

 

[kiryogi]

Taro!

 

[DaveH]

Bubble tea's too expensive.

? Make it yourself. It's easy. Go to an asian food store and buy the "bubbles" and you're good to go. I can't bring myself to pay $3 for these things, those stores must make a killing.

 

[shoplifter]

We've got a bubble tea/yakisoba place here in town but I keep forgetting to go. It doesn't help that it's on campus so I try to avoid going down there.

 

[StrikerObi]

Awesome, I found a local Boba place. I'm enjoying some nice green tea + apple flavor + OMG BUBBLES! right now.

Also, this thread needs more apprecian for the CRAZY lids they put on the cups. My previous one had a little Korean anime Saggitarius dude on it (wierd, that's my sign) and my current one has an anime girl on it and says "LET'S CHEW SOME BUBBLES!" Also the cup has crazy anime angles and stars all over it.

Edit: Price is about $4 for a large one here, $3 for small. But I think it's also the ONLY place in town that sells it.

I hope there is one up in Tallahassee too, I don't know if I can live without it for 9 months out of the year. This shit is instantly addicting.

 

[GG-Duo]

They started selling Bubble Tea in Coffee Time, eh.
