| The west / Utah has Swig and other soda shops. The south has “Loaded Tea” aka Herbalife, some places have a million coffee shops, and we have Boba. So, so many sugary drinks. |

| You all need to get out of your Caucasian bubbles, no pun intended. |
| I know Brew tea in vegas is very good. Constant line of people. |
I’m in NoVA. I don’t know what it is. |
Here in West Springfield I don’t know that we have either one. I’ve never heard of mochi donuts. |

Depends on whether the weather is good and if my kids and I have time to visit
An absolutely delicious drink. Rehoboth beach is sorely lacking one. |
Actually it could be a great idea to open one there. |
| My DD is on spring break and I took her to a bubble tea place as a little treat. $7 later…Who pays these prices for drinks on the regular?! |

It works in Rockville (also known as Wokville) due to the high Asian population, and even those not in Rockville come there just for the Asian food and markets.
Elsewhere, I think only 1-2 per town and it'll mostly be a trend that wil fade for all except Asians since it's kind of like Starbucks in many Asian countries. Remember frozen yogurt? Cupcakes? |
There’s like 3-4 bubble tea shops within a few miles radius from you. |
Me! |
Agreed! I took my two tween girls to a olace in Georgetown a couple of times. Its crazy expensive and if you don’t choose wisely you're stuck with a sickly sweet mess test you have to throw out almost as soon as you’ve figured out how to piece the top. It’s a lot of liquid calories. By the way, my order is taro with bubbles, 30 percent sweet. |
| Also we need more of these trends to catch on so we can revive downtown. I work in Dupont and Connecticut ave is such a sad ghost town these days. Only lonely cannabis shops and closed bars in either direction. |
Bubble tea is the Americanized version of saying Boba tea- which is the original name. |
