It did get a bit cramped in here with the limited space. I ordered a salty cream green tea (I think) with boba, 30% sweet. Overall it was ok. I felt that it was still a little too sweet for my liking, but overall it was good. Refreshing. I took it and sat in a park not too far away. I would definitely come here again and try different options. As I was on a Bubble Tea escapade in London, I was trying many different places. This was one of the better ones I tried, but still very sweet.

I stopped by a couple times trying to get a fresh grapefruit green tea. First time, they said they couldn't do it because they ran out of large cups. Was kind of bummed out.

Expect to wait, and expect them to run out of large cups. This is perhaps the only(?) bubble tea place in the area. It's worth the wait if you're looking to quench your bubble tea cravings!

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.

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!

It's also cash-only, so bring your pounds! I like that they have a sign to warn others of pickpockets. I guess this is a place you can get pickpocketed if you're not careful. The tea was very refreshing, and the tapioca balls were tiny, not like the big balls that I'm accustomed to. It did the job of refreshing me after a couple of hours of walking around and needing a cold drink.

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!

I had never tried grapefruit tea before, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. They freshly squeezed the grapefruit to order, then added the juice and plenty of grapefruit pulp to the tea. The fresh citrus paired beautifully with the fragrant jasmine tea, making it light and refreshing. I especially loved the bits of grapefruit pulp, it made the drink taste even fresher. The staff were pleasant, and ordering was quick and straightforward. The only downside is that the sweetness and ice levels are fixed, so there's no option to customize them. Other than that, it's a charming little drink shop with a few indoor seats, making it a nice place to take a break and enjoy a refreshing drink.
