In any case, I ordered a taro milk tea with tapioca. They needed to make more tapioca so she said there would be a short wait, which I was fine with. (I really like tapioca and usually don't like substituting.) They have lactose free milk options and I tried to get that in my taro milk tea but she explained that this drink is made with milk powder. The drink tasted good as expected and there was plenty of boba.

Be aware that you will have to climb down a set of stairs to get to the entrance door. From what I can tell, there's no other way down there. A few months ago, I injured my lumbar a bit, and I can say I would have trouble getting down there without a lot of assistance. Definitely not wheelchair accessible. BLU BASE Jianbing & Bubble Tea was convenient in that it was the closest when I was walking around the Binnenalster (Inner Alster Lake). It's super anime-themed, with even anime-themed snacks. Selection-wise, the drink menu so far most resembled what I'm used to in the Bay Area. They have more Asian-specific flavors like snacks with pork floss and taro and drinks with yuzu and red bean. Most importantly, it IS one of the boba places that lets you adjust sugar and ice levels and they even do hot drinks. The other thing they advertise is their jianbing, but I didn't try it and there were other cute, somewhat anime-themed snacks. Be aware that this IS in Hamburg-Altstadt and they are within walking distance of many of the bus stops and major tourist destinations in Altstadt (including Hamburger Rathaus and all the restaurants). I personally love how tucked away they are. They even have a gaming system with Super Smash set up, so it really seems like a spot you can really casually hang out in for a while (something I realize that you can't do at a lot of cafes). They are not the only boba place in the area, but this one is really cute.

This place has become my favorite coffee shop near the University of Hamburg. As an American…read morecitizen living in Hamburg, this place more than satisfies my craving for good quality iced coffee and other espresso beverages. This location has lots of space, both inside and out, for people to do work, meet friends, or just enjoy the afternoon. I have been a few times and have tried a few drinks. I highly recommend any of their iced lattes, and their chai blend is heavenly. Their sweet treats have all tasted great so far, and I plan to try some of their other food options (wraps or pretzels) soon. I did have one negative experience here, hence the 4 stars (and I find their prices a little high). One morning I tried to order an iced schoko latte. At first the lady made me what I thought was a hot schoko latte, so I told her it was supposed to be iced. She then put this drink on ice in a paper to-go cup, which was an odd choice since I was planning on sitting in the cafe to drink my drink (though she never asked me if it was for there or to-go). I accepted the drink and tasted it, only to discover it was a regular cafe au lait. I then explained it was supposed to have chocolate, so she just added chocolate to it and kind of mixed it all together, then handed it back to me. I drank it because I needed coffee and was frustrated beyond dealing more with the situation, but the latte was not good. The chocolate had all fallen to the bottom and the cup slowly deteriorated while I was trying to drink the drink, making it hard to pick up and enjoy. I would have preferred her to remake the entire drink, but decided to leave it be due to being frustrated and not wanting to hold the line. Besides this one bad morning, every other experience here has been great. Just make sure they understand what you are asking for before they start to make it I guess.
