Boba Jam

I drop in at Bubbleology in Soho whenever I'm in town, and thought I'd give Boba Jam a try, having noticed it when walking past the other day. The bubble tea was great (I had the Hong Kong pearl milk tea), with nice big, soft tapioca pearls. I actually preferred the pearls themselves to the ones at Bubbleology, though the drink size was smaller for the money. There also seemed to be less choice compared to Bubbleology. I must disagree with Jazz's review, however - at least when I visited, the girl who served me was helpful and very friendly, so no problems there for me.

the bubble tea is fun and pretty tasty. and i'm sure the taiwanese and chinese and south east asian staff are paid a pittance. but the service, like all of chinatown, is petulant and temperamental. annoying enough to make me wish starbucks will start serving bubble tea so you can get consistent bubble tea at a place where the customers matter.
