ah machi my fave (stylistically & aesthetically) boba shop in taiwan & thus the world
from their mochi over cup & little faux liquor container for some fruity milky drinks to their concrete splatter paint aesthetic
it's just such an IG-friendly establishment
today i felt need for more refreshing than decadent so i plied my thirst with the orange 🍊 green tea which was spectacular per usual
i loved this girl's Celine so factored her into this review as she's representative of much of machi's clientele : chic, cute, styled to slay
her top was cute too but only from the looped exposed back & it felt too creepy to sneak behind to get that shot
girl if these pics offend -- my apologies contact & i'll take'em down
machi machi more than any boba brand is style-conscious & drink-conscious & succeeds
many thanks to the mysterious bobaristas that zip behind the concrete & return with elixirs mere mortals as we do not deserve yet we demand & they deliver
always a treat always a gateway to a leisurely stroll through ximen under an umbrella ☂️ with boba in hand from machi
mind the homeless -- adorably cluttering in front of some pricey real estate & do drop by Tulip TimeOut just kitty corner from machi for a dog (the hot kind) cause they're such decent folk
my typical afternoon in ximen :

& drop by New Balance to see if any new collab...

One downside is that you have to wait quite a while for your drinks, even when the store...
