The young man working at the time of our last visit was extremely friendly (the vaults weren't particularly busy and maybe he was glad to see some faces), but he helped my friend and I sort through all sorts of coinage to pay for our drinks! I went with my standard mango green tea with mango jellies, and it was good. I think I went half sweet, and it was still really sweet. I'd opt for less sweet or no added sugar next time. Location really brings this rating up to a 4. Cold refreshing tea on the hottest of hot days in 2019 made me appreciate this place even more than I could have imagined!

CHA-yeahhhhhh!…read more Imagine my delight today while strolling along Rivington Street I find newly opened Chatime!? I'd been meaning to visit the other locations to snag some delicious milk teas but now with this one in my 'hood, I'm happy as a tapioca slurping clam! After lunch, I made a quick beeline back and had the Chatime Milk Tea with ice, pearls and half sugar. I'm a big fan of their "sugar level index" that allows you to really customize how sweet you'd like it. I went with half sugar and it was perfect. If you are cutting out the stuff altogether they'll make it with no additional sugar, major score. The options are plentiful without being too overwhelming and it's not all bright colors and round letters (always makes me feel like i'm in a Hello Kitty movie), like a lot of bubble tea places...this is calm, cool, and collected. The owner helped us out with our selections, chatted to us about the shop and we sat at the bench window seats for a bit enjoying our milk teas and catching up on a few emails. It's small, but very comfortable. Very pleased! Welcome to Shoreditch, Chatime!

I've only tried the teriyaki chicken don hot bowl, but it's delicious. A really generous portion of chicken on a huge bed of perfectly cooked rice, with a really good teriyaki sauce. Cooked to order and reasonably priced at £6. My favourite bubble waffle is the marshmallow and chocolate sauce with added strawberry (£4). The bubble waffle looks pretty cool and is really tasty, the bubbles make the texture really interesting and prevent the whole thing seeming too doughy. It's nicely presented in a practical cone. I highly recommend and not just for the novelty factor.

Hmm, well, in retrospect, I'm not exactly sure why I decided to pop into this boba place, seeing…read morethat 1. I'm from San Francisco (one of the boba meccas on the West Coast) and 2. I never really got into the whole boba hype when I was growing up. Still, the prospect of boba on the other side of the Atlantic piqued my interest when I was in the neighborhood... First things first: you'll definitely feel the dollar-to-pound conversion when you peruse the menu. While I am no stranger to paying extra for some of the fancier toppings (like jellies), I was a little disappointed to see that even the boba tapioca balls cost an extra £0.50. (Maybe this is normal outside of the States, where the drink is known as "milk tea" instead of "boba"? Because otherwise I find it hard to believe that boba can be sold without, well, the boba...) I went with the Assam black milk tea because I find that choosing the most basic of milk teas is the best way to evaluate a boba spot. It wasn't as sweet as the basic black milk teas that I usually can find in the U.S. (understandable, as most drinks in the U.S. are probably sugarier). The boba was fresh (to be expected, as I had pay extra for it...) At the end of the day, I had paid £4.50 for the regular size of some pretty average tasting boba. The shop itself is pretty tiny, though the seating is pretty hip-looking.

REVIEW FOR BUBBLE-CI TEA AT MEADOWHALL, SHEFFIELD…read more The only good thing I can say is that the drink itself was nice. The service was awful. Only two workers at the store, resulting in huge queues all day long. One serving, and one making the drinks - meaning we had to wait for 30-40 mins with approx. 10 people ahead of us. Simply not good enough! One more person making the drinks would halve the waiting time. And when we finally got to the front of the queue, we were told that they were out of tapioca pearls - brilliant! The one item that should be in plentiful supply was not available. And of course, the first tapioca scoop was free of charge - and when I asked for a free substitute topping I was told "no". Now, that's a company that values its customers, eh! And to add insult to injury, the girl making our drink simply disappeared for 3 minutes for no apparent reason. She never said anything; just casually sauntered off and reappeared several minutes later without so much as an explanation or an apology for the delay. The takeaway is that we will not be visiting Bubble-CI again. Damage done! We will take our business elsewhere next time. Plenty of other competitors in the market.
