Chakaa quickly grew to be one of my go-tos while I was in college in San Diego. The vibes were cool, drinks were consistently good, and there was a variety on the menu to chosoe from. The location was also really good, on the middle of Convoy street, and easily accessible from the good food… Continue reading Bobo – Chakaa
Oiio Cafe doesn't actually have a website, so the link goes to their Facebook page. I’m still a little confused by the shop’s name, but at least the first time when I ordered I said “oyo” and everything seemed fine with the cashier. This place was definitely such a great find for a day when… Continue reading Oyo? Oeeo? Ollo? – Oiio Cafe Orange
Yesterday my dad flew into Sapporo to visit me! He had business in Tokyo, and while he was at it, came to Hokkaido to hang out and help me take some things home <3. We had a great time eating meals, and it was good to see him again (after a short period, ha!). After… Continue reading Kagaboucha Tapioka Milk Tea (加賀棒茶タピオカミルクティー) – Tsutsumiya
Yesterday my boyfriend came back to stay with me for a while! On the way from the airport, he stopped by Sapporo for food, and picked up boba for me! The new Gong Cha seasonal doesn't start until today. This means yesterday they were still offering stuff I wasn't super interested in, or just the… Continue reading Chocolate Milk (チョコレートミルク) – Gong Cha
Class 302 was a staple of my high school and boba life. It was close to home, convenient, near my weekly volunteer spot, and overall in a plaza good to hang out in with shopping and food spots around. Though the drinks themselves aren't revolutionary, what makes Class 302 stand out is their drink system.… Continue reading Self Serve Boba – Class 302
Junbi relaatively new shop to the scene offering boba, but I think they've been in LA doing matcha for a bit now. It's a cafe that specializes in matcha, but they also have an array of milk teas, fruit teas, coffees, smoothies, and soft serve and onigiri. Their menu is super cool! I've only tried… Continue reading Matcha and Onigiri – Junbi
Today my sister and I went to go see Wicked in theaters! Tuesdays are discounted at AMC, so we went to see an afternoon showing. The movie was really good! After the movie, we went to get boba next door at Cha for Tea. I was looking at the online menu beforehand, and was deciding… Continue reading Honey Black Milk Tea – Cha for Tea
Here's the second of the two Gong Cha 7/11 bottled drink collaboration! The second of the two bottles is a fruity tea, as opposed to the other milk tea. This one is made with sweet, juicy yellow peach, and Alishan Oolong Tea from Taiwan. The amount of fruit juice in here is 1%. The drink… Continue reading Alishan Ooolong Peach Tea-ade (阿里山烏龍ピーチティーエード) – Gong Cha
I’m in Sapporo because it’s a long weekend! Sunday’s Culture Day, and because it’s a Sunday, we get Monday off. Huzzah! I promise this is the last three day weekend of the year (boo). Today I’m back at The Tea to get a drink. Weirdly enough, they don’t have a matcha only option. They have… Continue reading Matcha w/ Brown Sugar Milk (黒糖抹茶ミルク) – The Tea
As of July 2, 7/11 Japan has released a limited bottled tea collaboration with Gong Cha! Although they're just bottled teas with no boba (honestly, thank goodness because that probably wouldn't end up well), they're both Gong Cha tea products. I thought they tengentially fit the blog. There's two drinks in this collaboration, and first… Continue reading Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea (黒糖烏龍ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
