Bubble Tea House
849 Westminster St.
Providence, Rhode Island
I stopped in here when I had to take Bear for an event at Central High School. It's just across a (very busy) street from the school, in fact, in a pretty pedestrian-unfriendly location where Westminster splits off with Cranston Street.
When I stopped in on a Saturday around lunchtime, there were only two other people there, which is good. Bubble tea, like milkshakes, takes some time to prepare. I can imagine things get pretty backed up during the rush.
There were more flavors than I realized existed in Bubble Tea, and more styles. We had our choice between "snow," "frost," and "milk." I chose snow, and was later informed by Bear that milk is the way to go. We live and learn.
The decor is bright colored and fun (loved the dragons, and the "bubbles" embedded in the walls), and the service friendly. They were playing Futurama on the tv, and there is a comfortable amount of seating, although most of the trade seems to be carryout.
A bonus: they also sell Tip-C cupcakes, a local offering that I'll have to review soon. We had the pleasure of meeting them (briefly) at I {heart} Providence back in February.
