Bubble Tea

[briox]

Having just moved back about a month and a half ago, I'm still familiarizing myself with modern New Orleans. Back when I lived here in the past, I had never heard of bubble tea. Now, I know it's everywhere and I'm starting to miss the stuff I used to indulge in in Austin. Thus, does anyone have recommendations on bubble tea?

I'm with Celeste on Mr. Bubbles inside HK Supermarket. I love the bubble tea there, and the sealed on tops that you poke the straw through.

Cheerstonola: Bubble tea is a cold Asian drink, usually made with fruit flavors or dairy flavors, that typically contains tapioca balls, or "boba." It's delicious, and you should seek it out!

I agree about HK Supermarket. The coconut flavor is fantastic!

Mr. Bubbles now has some fruit "twist" flavors--two fruits in one. Peach mango was pretty tasty, can't remember all the others. Mr. B also gets points for having various fruit-flavored jelly cubes in addition to tapioca balls.
