"The other half of the Filipino-American family’s operation features teas in taro and honeydew flavors and “halo-halo” smoothies. The menu is largely a replica of Auntea Boba, the family’s 2-year-old brand that started inside Gigi’s Kitchen in Fort Washington, Maryland. There’s cereal milk, strawberry matcha, coconut milk teas, Vietnamese iced coffees, and more. Auntea Boba’s short list of snacks also makes its way to D.C., including popcorn chicken (mild, spicy and extra spicy) and lumpia shanghai, or slim, crunchy Filipino eggrolls." - Tierney Plumb
