Sooooo creamy!…read moreMake sure to open the lid to enjoy the creme brulee first, then give it a swirl with your straw and enjoy the SUPER creamy milky tea, with bites of boba too. YUMMMMM. This location is conveniently located in the highly populated china town and George St too. Heard that Jay Chou founded this boba tea chain, so I wasn't surprised to hear 100% of his songs being played in store lol. Ye qu.

Another amazing brown sugar boba place in Sydney! I've been on the hunt for good boba places and so…read morefar every place I've been to in Australia is just way better than home in San Francisco. The drink itself and the boba is just too good! They are a brightly lit store in the midst of Chinatown so there are always plenty of people walking around. There may be a short line if it's busy but never too long. I ordered their brown sugar bubble milk drink and it was great! Normally I don't like just plain milk but it wasn't bad here! I also tried their peach oolong and that drink was very yummy as well. You can tell they use real tea and the drink itself wasn't very sweet, which I like. Thank you to Australia for changing my views on boba...!

I seen this coffee/tea shop in the Wynyard Walk so i had to try it. This place had a few table but…read moremore of a grab and go type of place. I got the Good Morning Tea which is a black tea and the mixed berry muffin for my walk to the rail. The service is fast and quick. I literally placed my order and was on my way in 5 minutes(my tea had to steep). If you go in and they have the mixed berry muffin please get it. It's so amazing.

As I waited and listened to the orders being called out it became rapidly apparent that everyone ahead of me had ordered theirs strong. Except for Mel. She had a weak latte. I won't pretend to understand Mel. But even with my first slightly-weak Long Black, Brew Collective had me hooked. They use Charlie Coffee beans and the coffee they turn out is delicious. BC had become one of the shops I frequent- I just make sure to order it strong.

Good lil drink chain offering an assortment of refreshments including milk and standard iced teas…read more Had the lychee green tea w coconut jelly, no sugar (although it was oddly sweet). Quick n refreshing and just as costly as running out to a SB ($4-6 depending on what you get) so might as well come here and try out something a lil diff on those hot days that simply demand a chilly drink. Cute name.. 'Cha' means tea in viet; athough, i don't think this joint is owned by viet ppl :P

Easyway or Chatime? Now that is the question. I'm in favour of the latter purely because when I…read moreorder a milk tea I actually want to taste the tea not sugar. Someone once told me the approximate amount of sugar in Easyway and its was something ridiculous. I'm sure Chatime has a tonne of sugar in it too, but it just tastes less sweet. Pearl milk or bubble teas are the most popular (I like mine vanilla or roasted milk flavoured) but a friend of mine swears by the fruit tea. You can control the sweetness and ice level. Normal sweetness and 1/4 ice is my order. So if you've never tasted a Taiwanese drink before, Chatime is a great place to start. Be adventurous (unlike me)!

Their matcha game is on point! A japanese inspired cafe including niftly cutlery and crockery.

Kahii is a place that's been on my list for a while. Instagram keeps hitting me with beautiful…read morepictures of their matcha latte so I headed into the CBD to check it out. Its quite a small place with a few bench stools, not a huge amount of space to eat in. More of a take away place I think, right infront of some businesses/ Trendy fit out. The menu isn't extensive but there's a salmon salad option and Katsu sandwiches. I really wanted the chicken Katsu sandwich but unfortunately by midday it was sold out. I ended up getting the pork Katsu sandwich. The pork was just fried so very crispy on very fresh white bread. It had some cabbage and a Japanese sauce. Overall very tasty. I ordered the matcha latte which looked beautiful -great barista. I wasn't a fan of the flavour at all but I'm sure many people are. They do regular coffee as well. They also have quite a number of beautiful cakes which I bought a rose and raspberry flavoured one to take home which was really nice.Worth a look.

After a long trip from the States, we were looking for something other than Starbucks...because who…read morewants to leave the U.S. to go to a U.S. storefront like Starbucks? Ew, no! After discussing this desire with our hotel concierge, he kindly pointed us to DB and boy were we not disappointed! Foremost, I was jealous because it seemed like this was - as we call it in the U.S. a mom and pop kind of shop - where they knew all of their regular customers by name. I so wish we would have been a part of that cool kids club! Not only was the customer service stellar (despite not being a part of the cool kids club) but also the quality coffee was delicious. Seriously, in our book, it gave some of the popular chains (like Sbuxs) a run for their money. I would support this business any day over the corporate store. We noticed a dumpling or bao shop next door and I knew I'd have to come back to give that a try. Later one afternoon, I did just that and OMG was I sorry I hadn't done it sooner! What I didn't know, until we went to pay, was that the two are connected. UGH I wish I could hit both places every single day! If you're debating or looking for somewhere delicious for coffee or dumplings/bao, look no further!
