As someone who first had boba in China, I know that nothing in rual Texas is nessisarily going to live up to that. With that being said, the overall experience I had at the Bubble Bar today was... odd? I'm not entirely sure how describe it. I asked for a milk tea with tapioca pearls (the original boba tea, and the most basic thing on any place's menu) and was met with a level of discourtiousness thay deeply baffled me. I understand being asked what kind of tea since they have several on the menu, but the worker there didn't know what a tapioca pearl was, and was honestly incredibly rude when I didn't understand what she was talking about concerning both the tapioca and the rest of the drink.

And if I can figure out how to add a photo - excuse the half drunk drink - I didn’t realize this place was this good that I’d want to...
Read moreMy recent visit to this establishment was, regrettably, a masterclass in disappointment. The individual presiding over the operation—presumably the owner—displayed an astonishing lack of composure when I inadvertently ordered a tea containing boba, a product they were inexplicably out of. One might assume a boba shop would have, well, boba in stock, but apparently that’s an ambitious expectation here. The response? A theatrical performance of slamming containers and doors that would make a toddler blush. It’s truly inspiring to witness such a professional operation run with the maturity and grace of an entitled toddler. I’ll be sure to recommend this gem to anyone seeking chaos...
