Official Bubble Tea Club, We love Quickly and Ten Ren! Options

[tokyo-rose]

My community is like 50% Asian, so there're four bubble tea places within 5 minutes' drive of each other. :D

Welcome, Zephyr. :]

Wow, is there a lot of competition between them?

Mom bought bubble tea from Tai Pan Bakery today. It was okay. Too many bubbles.

[venti-anemoi]

Hmm, I'm not sure. I think there's too much business for them to worry about competition. XD

I've never heard of Ten Ren, by the way. o_o

I guess that's good. How much are the cheapest and most expensive prices?

Ten Ren...is pretty big in New York City; I'm not sure about Cali. It might depend where you live. I know Quickly started in Cali and then came here.

[venti-anemoi]

Cheapest is at Verde; you can get one there for $2.44. Oh wait, but that's for just green tea with pearls, no milk..... but I think with the milk is still under $3.

Oh, I forgot to mention Tapioca Express. I think it's most expensive at TapEx, but I haven't been there in a while so I don't remember the exact price. I think it's around $3.50 ish? Not sure.....

That's more expensive than in NYC. At Quickly, it's $2 if you have a student ID; normal price is $2.50. A large/double is $3.50 or $4.

[venti-anemoi]

Yeah, stuff is really expensive here. Higher price of living and all. <_< Stupid smart Asians.

Double is generally add $.50. I don't know if there are student discounts, but it'd make sense since Quickly's is right across the street from a community college.

[Joanne]

My friend works at a bubble tea place now... it's pretty good, except the pearls are really mushy. =\


Too bad she can't give me a discount. =(

I love coconut flavoured bubble tea.

[venti-anemoi]

I love coconut flavoured bubble tea.

I've never tried that. I'm old fashioned. XD I like..... tea.

[moninja]

^whaaaaaaaat. open your taste buds for more possibilities :[

[tokyo-rose]

Heh, sorry I prodded you into posting here, but I wanted this club to be alive again.

Quickly has good bubbles, but Ten Ren has better tea.

I've never tried that. I'm old fashioned. XD I like..... tea.

Just regular milk tea? You should try peach! That's good. Or taro.

[venti-anemoi]

I like strawberry. :X Does that count?

haha it's probably because I'm cheap and almost always broke, so I always get the cheapest one, which is just regular milk tea. Jasmine's good, too. :]

[lkajsfklajskds]

^where do you buy yours?

where i buy mine, reg is the same price as flavored..

[venti-anemoi]

What, really? Around here, it doesn't matter where you get it, flavored is always more expensive.

[moninja]

^where do you buy yours?

where i buy mine, reg is the same price as flavored..

same o_O people are ripping you off ! ;o

Sure, it does, but not if you don't get it that often.

Same as Shrima. Where I buy mine, all flavors cost the same thing; it just depends on the size.

[venti-anemoi]

Dude, where do you all live? I'm going there for college. :D

[tokyo-rose]

Dude, where do you all live? I'm going there for college. :D

You'd move across the country to NYC for cheaper boba? xD

[moninja]

talk about obsession for boba. haha
i live in washington D:< hate it here

[tokyo-rose]

i live in washington D:< hate it here

I still remember when your family drove to California and I told you to get..some food or drink in California that you couldn't get in Washington or something. :\

[moninja]

quickly's! >:o
it was like RIGHT THERE. i was like, "guys can we stop for bubble tea please?" and they were like, "NO, we don't have time for that!"

[venti-anemoi]

You'd move across the country to NYC for cheaper boba? xD

Why yes, yes, I would. :D

Actually, I kinda want to see if I can get into colleges there on scholarship or something. Otherwise, I probably couldn't go.

My cousin lives in Washington. :] Must remember boba the next time I go visit her.

Righttt. Do you have time to go there this summer? No school = time for a road trip!

Why yes, yes, I would. :D

Oooh, Columbia. Although, that's far from any boba place, since it'd take a while to reach Chinatown or Queens.

[lkajsfklajskds]

or NYU. Not just New York. I know for a fact there are bubble tea places in Rhode Island. And in Rhode Island there's Brown and RISD.
But in NYC, if you dont want to spend much, there is Stonybrook, CUNY and SUNY's, LIU, Queens College, St. Johns. The list goes on =]

Btw, i recently had lemon slush with tapioca. and lemon milk tea (which i didnt think would taste very good but was delish =])

Well yeah, there are boba places all over the US, but it's just that there are soo many in NYC.

That sounds good. I've been drinking a lot of lemonade recently, so lemon milk tea would be a nice change. Is it just milk tea with lemon juice squeezed in? I could make that at home.
