Bubble tea, or better known as boba tea, has never left the table since 2020.
It may have been a tiny fad back then during the isolation era (let’s not revisit it), but the iconic beverage has ingrained itself in our food and drink culture so deeply, and suffice to say, we are still *obsessed*.
While many are still addicted to the drink, some are now lost in the matcha fixation. No hate though to the green drink, but a good boba can trump any other beverage, given the right place and whisk.
So, grab your tote bags and your besties, ‘cus you need to visit these places RN.
