Soft Serve Society is conveniently located right inside of the Seven Dials Market. It does get busy as crowds walk in and out. It has a plethora of ice-cream as well as drinks options.
I really wanted a matcha icecream however it was out of order. In fact, a couple of options were out of order. Not sure if it was due to the fact that it was already late when I stopped by. One of the servers were really helpful as I made my order. As I am lactose intolerant and I can't have cold/caffeinated drinks often. I asked which drinks don't have caffeine and she recommended me the chocolate bubble tea. I also asked for alternate milks and she said they have oat milk. And I paid an extra pound for it.
The whole interactions were great and the drink was nice - except I think the girl who made my drink didn't add in the alternative milk. If I am correct, I think she just poured whatever they have in the tanks into the bubbles and gave it to me. I could tell she was in a bad mood and she just wanted to go home. The drink tasted nice like a chocolate milk - except I have not had milk in years. Silly me, now I think back, I don't think I tasted any oat milk for paying extra.
I shared the drink with my husband. Then an hour later my stomach was in so much pain. It was a lactose intolerant reaction that I am fairly familiar with. Unfortunately, I didn't have any pills. My stomach was in a twisted knots the whole night as I went to bed in agony. So I think the girl who made my drink didn't follow the instructions and do the right thing. Zero stars for this soft serve society if that's the truth.
After paying $10 (after conversion) for bubble tea that gave me a stomachache, I regretted making this choice. read more
