Milk Tea sounds a bit like "Reis-Brei" in German and Ice Tea sounds a bit "realistically" like the well known "tea horribilis"

I know it's not the same as getting it made at some tea-bar but I think I've seen packets for making it at the Asian shop near Burgfelderplatz ("behind" the Dominos).

I've also gotten cans of soda / whatever drink there, some with little (square) blobs of jelly in it which were pretty tasty.

Alright alright, but I have to join LiB in wondering why the opening of a "café-bar" for this needs more than 3 months

That's funny, Chinatown in Boston, ask for a pitcher of iced tea. Out comes a metal water pitcher filled with beer.

I am happy with bubble bath..!! No need of bubble tea

I couldn't drink a whole one.

You are talking about Tea, right?

I think I a ordered the passion fruit exotic. I wasn't overly keen!

Had bubble tea quite a few times, wasn't too Impressed with the popping one's next time I will order the milk variant with tapioca pearls on my ways to mrs teoh's. Better than not having bubble tea I suppose!

Bubble tea is now available in... McDonald's Germany

Anyone tried it?

I ordered one "downtown bubble" today from neumarkt in oerlikon and didnt really like the taste and the bubbles as i felt the cream/milk tasted like from a sachet and the bubbles were not chewy and big enough for me. Maybe because I'm Chinese and have had lots of good bubble tea before.

Thread revival:

While wandering down near Barfusserplatz over the last two days, I happened to notice that there is a new shop for Bubble Tea that "recently" opened there.

If you care to go hunting for it, it's easy to find, right near the "Puppenfee" (Doll Fairy?) antique doll store which is on the corner at the end of the tram stop.

There is a bubble tea store across the border in Lorrach.. I'm no connoisseur but I thought their green/strawberry tea with lychee bubbles was quite nice.

I finally got around to trying the bubble tea at sabotai. I tried the popping bubbles, normal boba and both fruit and milk type teas.

Frankly, they were both gross. Swiss can't make bubble tea. It is the worst bubble tea I have ever had. Makes me miss the Singapore bubble tea we had last year! Even in Ohio you can get decent bubble tea. Alas... not here.

Don't waste your money.

Nice news from Militaerstrasse

While I know what you mean, there is just no other BB tea place around and you'll have adjust your tastebuds a bit.

Yes there is! Here in Basel - you can give it a try and see if it's better.

Oddly, this place closed down for whatever reason. It was always busy when I went. Does anybody have the inside scoop? Rent too hih? What happened?

Just saw a new Bubble Tea shop by Barfüsserplatz in Basel - in case some are interested

I´ve no clue what it is, but looked interesting.

Meant to respond to this awhile ago. This place was empty both times I went, and the bubble tea was pretty darn crappy. I'm pretty sure that is the reason why it closed down. Bad bubble tea is worse than no bubble tea!

This being Switzerland, any bubble tea is good bubble tea IMO.
