Extensive menu of inventive bubble teas offered in a pared-back venue with an apparel shop.
"The day that Drip Tea ran out of vanilla soft serve for a Tiger Boba sundae was the best day of our lives, as we were then forced to have it with their ube soft serve instead. We’ll always order it with ube from now on, because the earthy purple sweet potato combined with a brown sugar syrup drizzle and chewy tapioca pearls could totally beat up a hot fudge sundae in a street fight." - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley
"Capitol HIll’s half café/half trendy retail store sells both clothes and boba. It carries Instagram-worthy “bearyaki” ice cream cones topped with Asian soft serve flavors like ube and pandan, and drinks whimsically named after clothing brands and artists, including the Post Melona, reminiscent of the classic Melona ice cream bar. Open for takeout and delivery." - Ryan Lee, Jade Yamazaki Stewart
"The day that Drip Tea ran out of vanilla soft serve for a Tiger Boba sundae was the best day of our lives as we were then forced to have it with their ube soft serve instead. We’ll always order it with ube from now on, because the earthy purple sweet potato combined with a kind-of-nutty brown sugar syrup drizzle and chewy tapioca pearls could totally beat up a hot fudge sundae in a street fight. And, the yam-and-brown-sugar situation gets us excited for Thanksgiving no matter what time of year it is." - Aimee Rizzo
"Those into Instagram-friendly boba tea shops may want to check out Drip Tea, which is already drawing lines after quietly opening on 10th Avenue in the space formerly occupied by a Sweet Iron outpost. The cafe serves various flavors of bubble tea, has a giant statue against a backdrop of plastic marijuana leaves, and features a small retail area that sells trendy clothing brands such as Supreme. But the biggest draw right now may be the “bearyaki” cones — soft-serve ice cream in bear-shaped taiyaki waffles, a close cousin of the fish-shaped ones that have been popular around town in recent years." - Gabe Guarente
