"Yumcha feels like the sort of boba tea shop you’d see in a coming-of-age movie. It serves as an informal study hall for high school students to work through chemistry problems while sipping a brown sugar milk tea with tapioca pearls. For the summer, get a sparkling seltzer flavored like pineapple, guava, or whatever tropical fruit is in rotation and grab a container of macarons or a pastry from the display case if you plan on studying (or pretending to study)." - gianni greene
