as the first responder, i feel obligated:

BUY A FUCKING AD

12/18/2007 3:43:20 PM

i had some of that stuff in LA a while back

it is horrible, horrible shit

12/18/2007 4:10:17 PM

Is that the stuff with the little balls in it? I remember first time I drank one of them, I had no idea they had balls in them and gagged on my first sip.

12/18/2007 4:17:35 PM

It's fucking disgusting and they have horrible service, boycott

12/18/2007 4:35:02 PM

yeah it's some sort of fake tapioca balls

feels like you're chewing on pencil erasers and tastes like ass

12/18/2007 4:35:54 PM

They sell cheap beer?

12/18/2007 4:36:21 PM

I don't know ANYONE who likes Bubble Tea. Why would you want something that you have to chew in your drink???

12/18/2007 4:54:44 PM

I like it...the green tea ones i've had before are good.

12/18/2007 5:07:11 PM

i love bubble tea

12/18/2007 5:13:02 PM

if its main focus is bubble tea, it might be the shortest lived hillsborough street business of all time

and that ain't easy

12/18/2007 9:53:22 PM

I really, really think bubble tea is disgusting.
And a choking hazard.
And a terrible business strategy.

12/18/2007 10:51:40 PM

maybe if they opened near king village they would last longer...

12/19/2007 12:49:50 AM

cool, i love that stuff. gotta check it out

12/19/2007 1:35:18 AM

where exactly is it? i've never had bubble tea - it seems interesting.

12/19/2007 5:20:27 AM

it just sounds stupid.

12/19/2007 9:08:44 AM

they serve other items like fresh springrolls too. not just bubble tea.

12/19/2007 9:48:03 AM

where exactly is it? "on hillsborough st" isn't very descriptive

12/19/2007 10:05:31 AM

located on the corner of HB & Pogue across from Wachovia (Electric Co. Mall).

BUY AN AD

12/19/2007 11:17:08 AM

If you were still in Raleigh you'd go.

12/19/2007 11:27:14 AM

why do you say that?

12/19/2007 11:30:38 AM

Because you're a sushi eating, bubble tea drinking, Depeche Mode listening kind of guy.

12/19/2007 12:10:55 PM

It wasn't an insult till you threw in Depeche Mode.

12/19/2007 12:23:36 PM

LOL

12/19/2007 12:44:40 PM

bubble tea?

we're not that kind of college, we're not that kind of people

12/19/2007 1:18:06 PM

12/19/2007 1:21:59 PM

^^

oh let me guess, you'd rather have BOWLS of cereal store wouldn't you. Tard.

12/19/2007 2:51:29 PM

One can request, say, a cup of chamomile tea sans "bubbles," yes?

12/19/2007 2:56:37 PM

haha geez calm down it was just a joke

i forgot i wasn't in chit chat, this is serious thread

[Edited on December 19, 2007 at 3:10 PM. Reason : but BOWLS is equally retarded en seria]

aside from the music he sooooooo got you pinned. gg, haha

12/19/2007 3:37:18 PM

If you want good bubble tea, I guess any place will do.

If you want GREAT bubble tea, come to my house. $3 per 20 oz. cup. Seriously. Non of this powder formula crap that most places use. Juice concentrate baby. And real fruit pulp.

12/19/2007 4:37:28 PM

s that bowls place still in buisness?

12/19/2007 5:00:02 PM

been and long gone

you'd never know bowlz even existed

12/19/2007 5:43:48 PM

The best part of Bowls was that they sold beer come Hike time.

12/19/2007 7:17:57 PM

So if you like bubble tea, is it any good?

Grand Asia doesn't have a whole lot of flavors. If I'm lucky the place on hillsborough uses nesquick instead of ovaltine for the chocolate flavor.

12/19/2007 7:23:42 PM

What kind of hours do these slackers run? I went by at 7 and it was dark.

12/19/2007 7:49:18 PM

that was a quick business venture

12/19/2007 8:51:28 PM

next week: red hot & blue

12/19/2007 10:18:59 PM

red, hot, and blue is already open. Pretty nice inside too

12/19/2007 10:37:39 PM

^ second that! Had dinner there on Tuesday night. Nice bar set up, too.

I saw this Bubbles place on the hike... that location seems doomed though.

12/19/2007 11:55:11 PM

Tried it. Foulest shit ever. It ruined my Christmas.

Why do those wacky Orientals come up with shit like this?

12/20/2007 10:19:07 AM

Too much anime

12/20/2007 10:30:20 AM

threads like this are what make tww #1 when you wanna see 1000 people come together and be assholes. hahaha.

i happen to have been to tons of taiwan happy new year parties and ive tried all sorts of wild shit. the first time, it was determined that "TRAVISA NO RIKEY BUBBRE TEA" -- but that shit was like honey flavored coffee, just too much at once. it actually got better for a couple times after that. i cant believe they made a store out of it in little ole raleigh, though. also, i dont hang out with the people from taiwan anymore. i'm in the international gambling society of laos. you can't go mixing your asians. i had to make a choice. i sold out.

which reminds me, BUY AN AD, dick!!1

12/20/2007 11:14:23 AM

I love bubble tea, but you can get it at Cup of Joe, and it's damn good there, so I don't see this business lasting very long. Strawberry, or green apple bubble tea, YUM!

12/20/2007 11:41:11 AM

if this fails you can always turn it into a ice cream dots place.

12/20/2007 11:59:12 AM

^^ In the 2 times I've tried COJ's bubble tea they've screwed it up each time. They don't mix it properly and their tapioca balls were a funky texture compared to what I've gotten at another place. I think it came down to COJ's employees being lazy.

12/20/2007 2:54:22 PM

mmm still need to try this place!

1/8/2008 9:57:56 PM

whaddya expect? that's why i don't go to cupajoe. their drinks are usually poorly made.
