    This was one of the earliest bubble tea bars in Glasgow before they became popular. The staff are…read morealways lovely here and the owners are brilliant. They created amazing combinations and introduced me to the popping fruit bubbles as I had only had the tapioca balls before. They created a to-go bubble tea can. So, you can enjoy at home. Unfortunately, they are unavailable in the milk tea flavours. So, while I was in the shop I got a wee milk bubble tea aswell as a couple of cans of the fruit bubble teas to take home. I am sad to see it closing soon after many years of business in the town. They have a good online presence through Instagram. So, give them a wee follow. They will still be selling their teas online but the canned fruit bubble teas only. When they offered the chance to pop in, before they are due to close, to collect your Polaroid photo. These are Polaroids they used to take then pin up their customer's photos up on their wall, I knew I had to pop in. After searching through loads of Polaroids we found it. I can't believe it was from 2014. They have served the town well over the many years. I wish them all the best for their online business.

    I honestly cannot recommend this company enough to anyone. I reached out to their customer service…read moreteam recently and was speaking with the AMAZING Jerrica as i wanted to include a boba bar for my upcoming wedding in July 2026. They have been so accommodating and wonderful. Usually when you mention the word wedding companies try to see how far they can stretch your prices, NONE OF THAT HERE. Transparency from the beginning, generous prices and offers and someone who was genuinely excited to work with me and my vendors. Tempo you have solidified a forever loyal customer in me and i cannot wait to have you apart of our big day!! I will be sure to update this review with loads of amazing photos after the event. If you are thinking of contacting tempo to be apart of any event or special day, or even looking for an ethical company run by some lovely people for your regular dose of boba tea. Tempo Tea bar is where its at. I promise you wont be disappointed!!

We drive an hour and a half there and the same back home just for the MooBoo and our last time a couple of weeks ago is the absolute last time!! The name is now CiTea (or something like that). The three girls working in it are rude , unfriendly and unhygienic. The one who served us did the service with a smile thing. Due to the fact it was Transmit weekend there were many females with their lovely little outfits on of short skirts and bikini like tops with boots. Two of the three girls looked at them in absolute disgust, the third did the exact same to my daughter after we got served and I turned around she was burning a hole in my daughters soul with her eyes and I found it all unnerving! Completely disgusted! They messed about with the gloves on, touching bubbles with the same gloves and hands that they then picked their phones out their pockets typing to each other and hysterical laughing amongst themselves. The worst who did it were the two with the headscarves on. The bubble teas they made were rotten. Mine was a coconut milk based drink, it wasn't cold, it was warm and horrible. The bubbles and tapioca were a lot less than the scoops I paid for. Nothing like the flavour or made the way it used to be. My daughters was not made normal either, hers is a dirty milk tea with different bubbles and tapioca and again it was missing the flavour and syrups it usually has. I was going to reject them due to the fact the bubbles were picked by hand with the same hands that picked phones out of pockets and touched the till and the other girl was touching money with the gloves on too! I will never ever go back there! and I've passed a wee word to others I know who work there. that take over will not work for them, staff who are disgusted by seeing females flesh or girls having fun will not fare well in Glasgow! To make rubbish drinks for a over priced cost will stop people coming.

Pearls were a bit overcooked, wasn't great. For a bit more than £4, it was alright but won't return. Located inside a mall so no spots to sit or chat to enjoy the drink.

I was only…read morepopping along to the Savoy Centre to check out the Kilt Shop, which ended up being closed. I forgot all about here, as I had bookmarked a while ago. I had heard rave reviews about Bubble Tea down in London and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I can't believe we actually have one in Glasgow. It's take away only so all the menus are outside the shop and both in English and in a Chinese language. There is so much choice it's just a list after list of options. So after opting for the Strawberry Pearl Milk Tea with ice, the lady did her magic. It's a tea made with a milk or cream with a flavour of your choice containing the small black tapioca balls which nestle at the bottle of the plastic cup. This is were you get the pearls from, it's all in them special balls. So shaken, sealed and with a lovely big pink straw for me, I was given my first Bubble Tea. The straw is so wide, just enough for you to suck up the balls. Oooft, so much could be said here but keeping it pearly clean. Hehe!! It's such a weird sensation and it's like a wee surprise in your mouth. Steady! They are soft, chewy and taste lovely. My strawberry flavour was delicious, my man got coconut, also very tasty. If you haven't been it's definitely worth departing 3 of your British pounds for something unique with a unusual taste sensation.

    Easy Way Tea I have found you! I had no idea somewhere like easy way tea existed. I have a memory,…read morea distant memory of trying this light and strange green tea drink when I was in Canada skiing. Never again did I think that I would find anything like it again, I had out those tapioca balls known in Canada as 'bubbles' being me and gotten back to the life of smoothies and fruit juice. Low and behold! Easy Way Tea exists in the strangest of places, the Savoy Centre!! There has never ever been any reason for me to go i to the Savoy Centre before in my life, but here it was! And no one knows about it? How can this be, these drinks really are a sensation. My first visit I had the Green apple flavoured green tea with the 'bubbles', oh that reminds me of holidays!! It was as good as the Canadian bubble tea as they called it. I think this sort of thing must be very popular in Taiwan, where I think it originated, because I recognised some of the contraptions which squeeze the bubbles into my drink. So refreshing and light, not like a smoothie at all, more like iced tea with little balls in it to suck up through a huge straw.

    I'm going to make this clear…read more I love bubble tea ever since my girlfriend introduced me years back in Canada When she was over here the only place I could find at the time to do bbt was in the savoy centre and we all know that place is grim However over the years there has been a trend of new places opening. I first tried tempo at a stall during the merchant city festival, I wasn't blown away however chalked it down to it being a pop up stand Now that I can try tempo at a convenient location in silverburn I'm pained to say again I'm not blown away They use monin syrup as the flavouring which just give the bbt a syrupy taste ..... Nothing refreshing about it, just sickly syrup They also shake it with ice to cool it more which is great however they then throw all the ice away instead of giving a few cubes in the drink to kee it cooler longer I've said it before and I'll say it again..... Scotland doesn't do great bbt, it's ok but not great. If you order watermelon or strawberry etc in Canada .... You get the fresh fruit as part of the drink blended together giving a refreshing taste

    I love love love bubble tea and I would say that 95% of that love is because of Tempo. I always…read morelove popping to Queen St for a city centre bubble tea, and now they're at Silverburn which is super convenient for the days when I'm working at home and need a pep! Their stall here is nothing like the Queen St stall - it's a stall in the middle of the centre near Paperchase (M&S end) but they still know how to do an amazing bubble tea. I got the season special with passionfruit and added in some strawberry bubbles. Oh yeh. I love that you can get boba to take away too, and apparently it lasts for quite a while in the fridge. Totally doing that for when I get back from holidays and having me some boozy bubble tea at home! Woohoo! Note: they take card + Swipii loyalty card and are on Deliveroo.

Lady who saw us over to the table was a wee bit brash, but didn't think much to it. Waited for around 5 minutes before anyone came over to offer a drink. Quite a difference from Asia Style. Went for Jasmine Tea, which is a £1 charge. You don't pay at Asia Style, so seems strange to even charge a token £1 for it. Thai Green Chicken curry & the special, Okra with Crispy Pork. Didn't have to wait too long, around 10 minutes. Beautifully presented, but I'm afraid the taste is no match for Asia Style. Pungent smell of fish sauce overpowered both the dishes, which didn't help the enjoyment. Okra was not fried enough, so as you bit in, it was quite watery. Overly salty pork (that'll be the fish sauce) and quite fatty. The Thai curry was more of a soup. Chicken was well cooked, but again a lot of fat on the chicken and that fish sauce...arrghh! It just over powered everything. Service.. well, it made Asia Style look positively in the same league as The Black Sheep! Not very attentive and brash. Certainly wasn't trying to win you over with personality or attentive service here. £28.00 in total for a tea, 7-up, two mains and a boiled rice. Not the cheapest & certainly not outstanding enough to make me want to try this place again. The location is by far the winner here - certainly no competition for Asia Style. You Don't Gotta Eat Here... Sadly! :-(

Mouths won't go hungry as local businesses set up stalls and seats outside. Burgers, pizza, chips, cakes and pastries: there's lots to fill you up whilst you're entertained by the parade. Outside Hillhead Bookclub is the over 18s area which is a good escape from the pushy prams. You just need to make sure you get a good spot or you might not get to see a lot!

The festival had so many things and I'm glad that it was free too seeing as it was in Kelvingrove Park! The atmosphere of family, children and friends of different cultures (many Indian folk, locals and a bunch of other random nationalities including myself :D) came by to chill out at the park. Whether it was to play with outdoor installations or at the fun fair, or listen to music with a pint under the sun, or watch silly performances by street artists (and magicians) or even dance along with the amazing traditional performers (and also Irish line dancers) the day was just great! My partner and I explored everything! We were down at the smaller stage listening to Indian music with toddlers dancing everywhere. And then we watched as a parade of what seemed to be circus performers walked by. We slept on the grass while having Pimm's cocktails and listening to some dj sets. And then watched the amazing performers by so many tradition local clubs! If you haven't been before, you should really consider going in the next years to come :) Update: also, went to Chop Pop's exhibition of her Love Letters to Glasgow in the Hillhead Library and it was wonderful! Her artwork is amazing and meticulous! She's also a friendly wee lady and I love her. Check out her facebook if you didn't manage to catch her!
