The drinks were amazing, by far best boba tea I've had…read more Service was a very fast considering the place was packed and there was only one girl behind the counter

A nice refreshing stop after a day touring Hobart. We ordered two oolong milk teas, both with…read morelight ice, pearls and one with no sugar, the other with half sugar. No sugar ended up being sweet enough but that'll depend on your personal taste. The staff is nice, the service was fast and the drinks were delicious. While we were sipping our drinks, we heard a customer order 5x tapioca, which we've never heard requested before. Apparently you get capped at 4x, which is more than half the cup. Talk about asking "if you'd like a little tea with your tapioca"!!! There was a rush 10 customers after we ordered and then it died down completely after that (on a Saturday afternoon), so you'll have to be a little lucky with your timing.

This drink is my go-to sweet dessert treat! The minus: they never have milk foam, and I love milk foam. It's necessary for my regular pearl milk tea order. They claim it's because it goes off easily and is rarely ordered, but if your lil foam stickers always say "sold out", who will get a chance to try it? So, in summary, five stars for brown sugar golden fresh milk. Two stars for the rest.

Nom Nom got me onto milk foam--though they call it cheese cream, which could put off less…read moreadventurous folks. Yes, it does have a faint cheesy taste, but it works perfectly in tandem with the sweetness of the drink itself, ending up in a lovely sweet/salty mix. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it. I think Nom Nom are still trying to find their niche in Hobart, as I've seen them go through a number of menu changes over the last few months I've been following them. I've dined in just a couple of times, trying their savoury bubble waffles, which are tasty but need to be served with a chutney or something as they are a little dry on their own. The menu has changed again since I dined in and I'll have to duck back in again soon, though they do still appear to have a focus on pancakes and crepes, with maybe a few more savoury options now. I'm 100% here for their fresh fruit teas, though, and I hope they never change. They only use fresh, seasonal fruit, which meant I was hanging out for stonefruit season to finally try the peach flavour, and it was worth the wait. When it's not peach season, I get by with grape, and mango is also tasty. Usually always with coconut jelly and cheese cream, stamping my loyalty card every time for my tenth drink free!
