BUBBLE TEA! BUBBLE TEA!

5.0 out of 5.0

June 08, 2009

First, above all, I must confess that I am an absolute bubble tea junkie, at least when it's convenient and available. Much to my distress, dismay, and despair, London hadn't provided me with a fix yet...until we stopped by the Jen Cafe Saturday, looking for a quick lunch. While the bubble tea menu isn't the most extensive one I've encountered, the fact that the Jen Cafe has it at all may have just made this my new favorite restaurant in London. Both my Taiwan black tea and my friend's strawberry dream cloud thing were both fabulous. And with bubbles!
(For the less enlightened of you, "bubbles" are tapioca pearls. I'm effectively a raving lunatic for frothy, smoothie-ish whipped drinks with squishy balls of tapioca in the bottom, that you then suck up in straw. They're an acquired taste.)
Jen's vegetarian dumplings were also quite good.
