I've heard of bubble tea before and in honesty tried it from here before but being so excited yet…read moreinexperienced I probably picked a really bizarre combination. Lychee juice with tapioca balls - yay... The lychee juice was really nice but not with the pudding balls. This time around I went for black tea, cold with the tapioca balls (I'd heard those are the best ones) and I was happy with this combo - don't mess with the classics. The staff were friendly, the place clean and the menu extensive. Frozen yoghurt also available which sounds great in the summer. A point to make though is those tapioca balls are really really filling. I felt like I'd eaten a meal after I was done so maybe give them a miss if you've just eaten.

I love meecha, I've been buying their drinks for past 12 months or more though I stress only few…read moretimes through that time! I've collected stamps on their loyalty card and had a free drink already! They have a great range of bubble teas, bubble coffees and the slush ones (which I haven't tried yet) as well as frozen yoghurt etc. Today I bought the Rose bubble coffee and had the tapioca pearls and coffee jelly. You can have drinks cold (with or without ice), warm or even hot. My drink was sweet but nice. You do need a spoon to get the tapioca and jelly out at the end... I think I need to perfect my suck action ha ha You can use your NUS card to get a discount and they do charge a fee if you pay by card.

It's chatime! Tea time is the translation. I am so proud of the few Chinese foods that I know…read more Before you make fun of me. I know food and women so we are good. Getting a milk tea drink is probably the last thing on your mind in Oxford. I felt is was my duty to try this place out. My expectations were low. The menu presentation was excellent. I didn't hear Cantonese or Mandarin being spoken. I didn't get what I love the most "service with a smile". Usually in the use this usually cute young Asian girl servers. For an extreme example, check out and google Cafe Lu (I have never been). I am glad this place calls the Tapioca balls by Pearls! Thank you represent for Cantonese! Milk tea is Canto not Tawainese. Boba is Tawainese but it's is like finger nails on a chalkboard when I hear that word. Damn you Southern California. I try not to use the word Boba as much. If you have a true Tawainese friend like me. She kept giggling at me. The slang word in Taiwanese "boba" means boobs! You're welcome. That girl has some nice boba. I can't tell if that is all natural boba. Only in England. I asked for my milk tea drink without ice. In the US, this means a half assed lukewarm drink but in England. I got it James Bond style! Shaken not stirred! I saw the lady making my drink in a clear martini shaker and the technique was flawless. She could be a bartender. I ordered a Roasted Milk tea with glass jelly and milk pudding. I was going straight Fobbing. Oh snap! I am I FOB! I am fresh of the plane from across the pond. The drink was very rich and the sweetening was off. The drink tasted powder very Tapioca Express like. I didn't really taste the tea but it still kind of hit the spot. But you need to keep mixing because the power will settle if you take too long to drink. Cheers!

Friendly staff. Plenthora of choices. Cheapest prices in town for decent quality bubble tea, hence…read morethe strong popularity. It's not where I would go when I want quality tea, but it is when my wallet's feeling skinny and I need my tea fix. Their fruit syrups are pretty good. They also have do loyalty cards, which you have to ask for. Otherwise you can also use their app for loyalty rewards.

Happy Lemon - They actually have merchandise, eyes on the fridge magnets.

This place has been bookmarked for too long, to be honest I think I was a bit over excited when Dan…read moresuggested we try it out. There's something really drawing about the whole place, I mean there's neon lemon signs for goodness sake. I'd been to other bubble tea places before, and I think the Happy Lemon focuses less on bubble tea flavours and varieties and more on differed oddities all together. You also have more customisation here than ever, what kind of sweetness you have have your drink (30%,50%,100% etc.) our server even made suggestions and recommendations on what we ordered. She was also really patient whilst we tried out the different 'cheese foams'. This place is perfect if you want a drink but are bored of coffee and don't fancy alcohol. I'll be honest I was really sceptical of Dan's 'Green Tea with Rock salted cheese' but it works! Think caramel salted latte, but if anything way more refreshing.

The Birmingham Happy Lemon is a fairly new bubble tea and specialty drink store with inspired…read moreflavours that you'd find on the streets of Taipei. The chain is barely a decade old and already has amassed 500+ stores across the world. While the name suggests an abundance of lemons, you'll find that and more with a plethora of very interesting boba combinations. Some of the menu items are milk based while others are simply a refreshing tea. In total, you have drinks divided into the following categories: milk tea, rock salted cheese, lemon smoothies, milk tea smoothies, fresh lemon tea, fruit matcha latte, and a variety of specialty drinks. This is the first boba bar I've seen with rock salted cheese as a flavour, and it's apparently one of their more well-known drinks. Happy Lemon is well sited between New Street Station and the Chinese Quarter. I've found that it's the perfect after dinner treat on the way home or a good way to jump-start a night out. The drinks come in a medium or large size, and the price can vary widely depending on what ingredients you request. There is also an additional surcharge to make some of the drinks hot. I've tried a couple of the drinks so far, and I feel that their fresh teas are a real strength of the brand. They are seriously refreshing, with most balancing between sweet and sour on the flavour profile. I can see myself drinking them a lot more this summer when it's warm out. I've also tried their more experimental flavours, such as the red bean & pudding matcha latte made hot. It's basically caramel (or mango) pudding mixed with milk and red beans. As a hot drink, it's great on cold nights. The drink may sound unconventional for some people, but it's worth trying at least once. If you like Happy Lemon's drinks and plan on visiting here often, I suggest signing up for their 'LoyalTea' loyalty card. It costs £5 up front, but you get a free drink of your choice. Each drink purchased gives you 1 point, which can either be redeemed for Happy Lemon branded merchandise (Happy Lemon iPhone case here I come) or at 10 points, a free drink. Overall, Happy Lemon does a great job focusing on one product that it does really well.
