Being a Bubble Tea Addict, I had to end a full day of non-stop eating and snacking throughout Atlanta with some Bubbles LOL.
Within their closing hour, I headed to this tea bar, given that it was the nearest Bubble Tea joint to our hotel.
Well, the tea bar was literally tiny...possibly the smallest tea bar I've seen...and accordingly, not as many options. But then again, this tea bar was located within Marietta Square Mall (also tiny).
I was immediately attracted to their soft-serve Taro Ice Cream with Bubbles...then as a take-home, I ordered a Matcha Green Milk Tea w/ Bubbles and Aloe Jelly.
To make the long story short, the purple Taro Ice Cream (with Bubbles!) was amazing...but the supposed Milk Tea (with Bubbles and Aloe Jelly) was just awful. Also, the plastic cup presentation for the Tea was nothing like what's pictured on their advertisement. Not even a logo on the cup? I almost thought about pitching a fit about the tea...but decided to chalk it up to bad luck and just drove home. Why? Again, their Ice Cream was amazing...like seriously delicious. So I just decided to call it even.
Still, can't believe how one of their products could be so good, and the other so bad?? Honestly, I think the girls that were working the counter just didn't know how to make the proper milk tea. First of all, the Milk Tea barely had any milk in it. I'm thinking that the girl probably didn't hear me say "Milk", and just made Iced Green Tea...which is only half as good as what I asked for! The addition of Bubbles and Aloe Jelly were minimal as well...as in super-skimpy! I also asked for "70% Sweet", and they made the tea more or less 25% Sweet..if at all? I went back up to the counter to ask them to add more sweetness. They basically told me to add the amount of syrup to my cup...to my liking. BTW, these were nice girls...don't get me wrong. I just don't think they were experts at making Bubble Teas. Possibly new staff members? Anyway, sad to say that I had possibly the worst Bubble Tea I've ever had...and paid way too much for it.
Nope...never again will I return for their Bubble Teas, but possibly for their soft service Taro Ice Cream with Bubbles?
