Bubbleology

Have been to bubbleogy twice and had the taro bubble tea, which was amazing. Second time I went I decided to mix and match, to try something new. So i went for the almond and matcha bubble tea. When I got it, it was far too sweet! I guess more attention needed!

Great little bubble tea cafe in Soho. Service can be quite slow at times, but it is worth the wait.

Bubbleology is situated in a great location SOHO, which is my favourite place to venture out in. I like visiting new and different places in the area, so when I saw the bright lights glistening off the Bubbleology sign I knew that it was a place not to walk past. I have only visited Bubbleology once but was pleasantly surprised with what it had in store for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my bubble tea when I went- the staff recommended I try their hot taro bubble tea, which is very popular amongst customers. It was delicious and very creamy, which I loved. I also liked that way that the bubbleologists were busy creating our bubble teas through the test tubes and using that sealing machine- it was fascinating and it really did seem like you were in a lab with the nutty professors working away. I am looking forward to visiting the store again when I am next in London

I discovered bubble tea about a month ago and am now absolutely hooked. I read quite a lot about it so was keen to try it out. It's such a different drink - nothing like I've ever had before. You sort of drink and chew it at the same time and it comes in all these cool brightly coloured flavours. Great to carry around and a bit of a fashion accessory. Apparently there are lots of celeb fans of it too. The store is crazy inside so definitely worth a visit and the staff are very nice and the drinks reasonably priced!

So delicious! I stumbled upon this place when wandering through soho and i will definitely be going back. I had one of the fruity ones but the milk ones looked tempting too. Cool atmosphere and just a really nice place to enjoy a refreshing drink. I'd definitely recommend it.

All the flavours taste excessively rank.

Bubble tea here varies in taste (I had a very bitter hot mango tea last week - over-stewed Jasmine tea was the cause, I think), but the bubbles themselves have a good amount of chew. It's good to taste a wide range of teas from different places and just find one you like, as the flavour selection varies quite a lot from place to place

Bubbleology is all you could wish for on your first Bubble Tea experience. It’s neon-bright and full of colour, with a fun scientific theme (Bubble Tea is a precise science after all) with bubbling test tubes and conical flasks of super-bright liquids all around. The staff wear lab coats emblazoned with ‘Bubbleology’, so you know they either take their tea very seriously or they are great fun (or maybe both!). They even serve wonderfully kitsch looking Taiwanese toasties which are prettily topped with fruit. Our large teas set us back £3.75, and I added some extra boba for 50p which I was only too happy to hand over for what revealed to be wonderfully prepared Bubble Teas. The choice isn’t as good as some of the places we found in Berlin, but there is still more than enough that you could go a great few times and never have to have the same twice.

I think of it more as 2.5 out of 5... I went there once with some friends, one of whom was completely unacquianted with bubble tea, and the other who I'd taken to Candy Cafe more than once. I wanted to try Bubbleology because of all the buzz and hype around it, and to see how it compared to the existing competitors. What I like: - The mix-and-match concept, which sounds like it could be fun. What was okay: - The almond milk tea... the flavour was okay, but nothing amazing. I've had better at Candy Cafe. What I do not like: - The massive publicity campaign which has pushed this as the 'first'/'most authentic' etc. bubble tea place in London. As others have pointed out, it has been available here for several years now, and at places I wouldn't sniff at or dismiss. Maybe this is just sour grapes, but if you are going to proclaim yourself as the best/first etc., then prove yourself, make it damn good and outperform the others. - The gimmicky theme, it all feels rather brash and contrived to me. I don't get the link between lab chemistry and bubble tea, but maybe that's because its ubiquitousness in Asia. I'd like to see this improve, and maybe offer more 'authentic' snacks as well, rather than toasties. One to watch... but for now, I'm happy going elsewhere

This is a complete ripoff of THE CHIN CHIN LABORATORISTS in Camden,who actually started this 'lab' craze with thier nitro ice cream parlour
