I can't lie. Love this stuff. If I could only drink one thing on earth it would be bubble tea.

Problem is I live near Meyerland and work in downtown and I can't find a place that serves it near me. I find a smallplace in Midtown by the HCC campus call Boba but they only carry slushes.

I have to drive to Tea House on Shepherd and Westheimer just to get some.

Is there anyplace near me (Meryerland, Reliant, med center, Galleria) that serves it?

Last time I ate those disgusting little black balls I puked everywhere. I don't think I'll ever be able to have bubble tea again.

If you've ever seen a salt water fish lay eggs you would never be able to drink bubble tea again.

It's always funny to watch people not use to drinking it choke on the tapioca.

I could never figure out if you're supposed to chew the tapioca lumps or swallow them.

I don't like having to chew my drink, and I don't like swallowing tapioca lumps.

So, I'm afraid I give it a thumbs-down.

....Or just say when you order bubble tea not to put tapioca in it? I hate tapioca and just never put it in my bubble tea (or I would if there were any of those places in St. Paul)

I loveeee Teahouse. No tapioca for me though! Don't they have a location downtown? Or used to atleast, cause they used to have the addresses printed on the cups. It was a UHD location, IIRC.

There is a name for the "bubbles" or "Tropical lumps", or "black balls"

It is actually a kind of sweet rice originated in Thailand. Rice wouldn't kill you, right?
