I'm a huge fan of bubble tea. I have been for almost five years now, when I first tried a cup of bubble tea in middle school at some hole in the wall restaurant in Boston. Unfortunately, I've barely been able to have it considering that there seems to be an extreme shortage of bubble tea places in Marietta (and mumsie really isn't willing to drive a long way for a cup of bubble tea).
So when I went to Boston, I nearly exploded with excitement whilst driving through Brookline. I saw at least three bubble tea places on two streets and there were even more restaurants who served bubble tea.
The first place I was able to get my fix at was at a restaurant in Amherst, Massachusetts where I got the milk tea with mini boba at the bottom. As usual, it was delicious. My grandfather even got some, although he was a sceptic at first concerning the boba. Then there were two places I went to in Brookline, one a really cute korean shop with an internet cafe and red bean ice-cream (!!!!), and the other a Thai place where the woman serving us reminded me of the Crypt Keeper (that tea also happened to taste odd).
The cutest place by far was a place called Lollicup in the Super 88 Market (the most awesome market in the world, they should have one here in the GA). First of all, it was the best bubble tea I've ever had ( I got the strawberry slush with mega boba at the bottom). Both Papa and O-Ma tried some, getting the Thai Iced tea slush with boba and the Mango slush with mega boba. But other than that, the whole little stall was exploding with cuteness, something that would ordinarily make me vomit, but actually made me oddly happy. Down to the cups, everything was cute. They even had these really cool tops with a graphic design on the top-they were basically a thin sheet of plastic fused onto the top of your cup where you poke your straw through a flower's smiling face.
Eco-friendly and cute? Totally up my alley. So after this, O-Ma became obsessed with bubble tea and is even thinking about buying into the franchise so we can have another Lollicup in Georgia (the only other one is in Duluth).
Least to say, I was very please. I'll probably be digesting boba for the next month.
Yum

Bubble tea sounds delicious! I can see a franchise being successful in Marietta...no one would appreciate it in my area. They all eat coleslaw and drink Bud Light over here in hicktown.
Your new layout is too cute! Did you make it yourself?
I miss you too :(
Where have you been?
Thanks blackroserei! I freaked when I saw your from Marietta. That's where I'm from too!
