Le'cha @ Deering Center — Restaurant in Portland

This shop is so cute and a perfect addition to the neighborhood! The decor inside is really nice. The seating is limited but works for the space. The menu isn’t super clear, could definitely be reworked.

My experience primarily revolved around their bubble tea, therefore I am unable to provide feedback on other menu items. I visited the shop on two occasions; during my first visit, the service appeared disinterested but answered questions thoroughly, although this did not detract from my overall impression. The initial bubble tea wasn’t too bad I got a milk base with tapioca boba.

Upon returning for a chai tea latte bubble tea, a different staff member served me. They seemed annoyed, and unpleasant. Unfortunately, the experience was less than satisfactory, as the tea lacked spice, sweetness and creaminess, and the tapioca boba exhibited an unusual stale taste. Regrettably, I found this particular beverage unappealing and did not find value in the $7...

Okay so everything was genuinely terrible. It looks pretty cute from the pictures but I went in and the guy seemed annoyed already and wasn't friendly what so ever. We got a mango boba and chocolate strawberry and the tapioca boba was not fresh or have any of the tapioca boba syrup while the popping boba also wasn't very fresh. The cups were so flimsy. The drinks themselves specifically the chocolate strawberry one was so syrupy and like no chocolate at all and the chocolate I could taste was so bitter. We also got a croffle which in itself was fine but it was OVERFLOWING with syrups and whip cream it was too much not to mention impossible to eat without making a mess and basically undercooked. So we left as soon...

Adorable neighborhood bubble tea spot that is walkable, on a bus route, and/ or with plenty of free parking, and indoor/ outdoor seating (weather permitting) near some of the Portland Trails and a local library branch. Inside has plenty of games, welcoming staff, bathroom, and incredibly thoughtful decor.

Okay on to the treats! Owner (woman! superstar!) has created such a fun, welcoming vibe, with an artsy, creative decor, and tons of specials from traditional bubble tea and ice cream to whimsical for holidays and just a run-of-the-mill weekday. From the bar seats, you can settle in with a book and people/ doggo watch in this gem of a neighborhood (Deering Center); don't forget your Lecha...
