boba shops
Bubble tea vendors
Boba shops are cafés or stands specializing in boba tea—the Taiwanese drink featuring chewy tapioca pearls in sweetened tea or milk tea.
These shops proliferated across North America and Europe in the 2010s, becoming social gathering spots especially popular with younger customers: There's a new boba shop on every corner now.
Most offer extensive menus with customizable sweetness levels and toppings.
