r/boba

i got the last one on friday from my local spot (i ordered two and they said they could only make me one) and today i noticed that it's been removed from the menu of all locations in my area. not the mango grapefruit one, just the original one that was more like grapefruit juice. i am DEVASTATED

We just got a hey tea location near us! Is there anything ya'll would recommend that is an absolute must try?

I love having a drink to motivate me for my morning study sessions...but man, I am noticing a HUGE spike within boba/matcha/latte prices every semester and yes, I know it's not just Berkeley but I can't take it anymore.

I wanna pass out every time I order on SnackPass (TPTea or Binge Coffee House) or even Strada which has extremely subpar coffee, but open late night and the total is $8-9 just for a freaking DRINK. Even a cup of hot tea is $5 these days. I know it's my choice obv, but sometimes my temptations can't help it or I can't go home to make it.

I had a free drink pass from Gold Bean Cafe, but the app didn't even allow me to use it because "none of the menu items quality". WTF?!?! These prices are becoming INSANE. Soon enough, we will just pay $10 for a drink like it's nothing.

I've resorted to making my own matcha/lattes at home. And although I had to spend a lot of money and learning, it's been sooooo much more worth it and I can add whatever flavors I like without feeling the guilt of adding an extra dollar. Just sucks when I'm outside and don't have that convenience.

Curious to hear - what are students thoughts on this?!? Or am I the only one crashing out from this 😭 

I find it super rare here in Htown. i think i came across one place that had them but forgot their name. im hooked :( So how rare is it where you are? And if you know any places in Houston’s Chinatown please lmk. Thanks.

Hello! I bought this WantJoin Cup Sealing Machine with a max of 95mm cup tops, but for the life of me I can not find any PP cups that will fit in it (That will also ship to Alaska). Normally Amazon is my go to, But finding any PP cups on there has been challenging for me. Can everyone tell me what cups they are using and were you are getting them from please?
