Boba Tea in the QC

Boba, aka bubble, tea shops have been popping up all around the Quad Cities and we are loving it! Entrepreneurs are mixing unique flavors in this refreshing drink. This cold sweet drink, with chewy tapioca bubbles that sink to the bottom, is traditionally made with black or green tea and mixed with milk, sweetened condensed milk, or another type of cream. Boba tea can be customized to your favorite flavors and made into a smoothie, slushie, or even coffee.  It’s the perfect for a snack, date spot, dessert drink, or family outing.
