Default BOBA?!?!

The team here at Intense Motorsports have a large group of people from many different places of the world. Because of that we try many different foods and drinks. One of my personal favorites is Boba! Our tech and myself went to The Street a few weeks back and actually ran in to a few of you Scion Owners! Was just wondering if many of you like/dislike Boba or even know what it is! Just trying to start conversation!!

The Street
North West Corner of Dobson and Southern!

Mmmmm Boba!! Yummy!

E-Ba Cafe in Tempe has a pretty good variety of boba drinks. My favorite is Thai Tea with Boba. Khai Huong Vietnamese restaraunt in Tempe has great Thai Tea with Boba.

I always get the green tea smoothie with boba when my buddies from cali come into town. We always wear crappy clothes so we can have boba fights. They are awesome to spit at cars.

OK, I saw this thread before I left work and had no idea what boba was. My wife and I went out for Chinese (the kids were with someone else for once) and I was telling her about this milk-tea I had when I went to Taiwan. I had kind of forgotten about it when telling her about all of the other great culinary experiences I had there. I did a google search so I could tell her exactly what was in the stuff and guess what - BOBA!!!

Now that's a coincidence. Speaking of things in your drink, buying a can of grape juice out of a vending machine in Korea that's about half full of grapes was also an unexpected (but strange) pleasure.

Boba rocks, I order two at a time with extra boba! My personal fav is Honeydew but strawberry rocks also! Have yet to try mango, think that will be next!! None the less I havent been to the one in Tempe as 1 I dont know where it is, and 2 Dobson is far enough from my place so the question is, is it REALLY worth the extra drive?!?!

Have any of you tried the lee lee market boba?! They have taro root there that is pretty good but their boba isnt my fav!?! None the less Boba rocks and I try to get atleast once a week. Did you know its actually healthy for ya! LMAO! Just another reason to eat it!!!!

I personally want to open up a boba shop here in the east valley but not to sure how big it really is! I wonder, would it be a good idea!!
