When I asked my granddaughter what flavor the reindeer cake pop was, she stated "It tastes like Christmas." There you have it - from the mouths of babes.

Whale Tea at UConn is a specialty boba tea shop on or near campus that has developed a steady…read morefollowing among both students and people in the surrounding area who make it a regular stop. I found the space clean and the interior with enough character to make it a comfortable place to sit for a bit rather than just a grab and go counter. The brown sugar boba is the signature item. I tried it and the tapioca pearls were chewy in the way that good boba should be, with enough body that they held up through the drink rather than dissolving into something gummy by the midpoint. The brown sugar flavor came through clearly without being cloying. The broader menu covers fruit teas, milk teas, and slushes with a range wide enough that most preferences are accommodated, and customization options for ice level and sweetness allowed me to dial in the drink to my preference. The ability to order without boba if that is not your thing is worth knowing if you are new to the format. Service was friendly and the staff were welcoming in a way that made the shop feel approachable for a first time visitor. Order accuracy has occasionally been an issue, and online orders do not always get flagged as ready in the app when they are, so checking in at the counter if I have been waiting longer than expected is worth doing. Pricing runs over ten dollars per drink, which adds up quickly for a group, and the shop is closed on Wednesdays, a detail worth confirming before making a specific trip. For boba in the Storrs area, Whale Tea sits at the better end of what is available locally.

This is the Whale Tea that created the boba addict in me. When I heard they added egg puffs to…read moretheir menu, I had to come back. I got my usual oreo milk tea with 30 percent sugar and jelly boba, and it was the perfect treat, as always. I got the matcha egg puffs, and they looked so cute with their little smiley faces! The flavor and texture of the egg puffs was also delicious and standard, but I was disappointed because I was expecting an oozy matcha filling in the center, and, as you can see in the photo I posted, there is barely any filling at all. The matcha flavor was very weak, and I was basically just eating a plain egg puff. It was still good, but I hope their other flavors have better filling or it was just an off batch.

On our way back to NH we were in need of a quick bite and coffee. We had plugged another local shop…read moreinto our GPS, but when we got there, they were closed. For good. Fortituous. We had passed Two Dogs on the street before our turn and came back to it. Everything was amazing. The two women behind the counter were so pleasant. The blueberry lemon loaf cake was melt-in-your-mouth fruity goodness. The cold brew was the best I've had. So flavorful but not too sweet. Smooth. I was already impressed, and then we had a jalapeño cheddar bagel with cream cheese. Perfectly flavored and chewy. Glad for this accidental find, because it started off my day in an unexpectedly perfect way.

This reminded me of a smoothie I got in the Dominican Republic- so FRESH & so delicious. The place is small- but ADORABLE! It was IMMACULATE in terms of cleanliness. I didn't see a speck of dust anywhere and the toppings for ice cream- appeared out of a magazine- it looked that picture perfect. They have a little swing against a wall- with a neon sign that says the name of the establishment. It appeared functional- but I didn't want to break it- if it wasn't so I didn't try it. Lol.

They've lost a lot of space and the menu is much smaller, but the place is new, clean and in a beautiful rural area. The last time I was here was back in July! For my drink, I'm having a Taro Boba Tea with warm tapioca. This straw is huge. This is very good! One tip is pull the straw up and drink the top layer of liquid. This will keep the drink tasting much cooler. For my appetizer, I'm having the Goi Cuon or fresh spring rolls. These are made with lettuce, basil, rice noodles and your choice of pork, shrimp, chicken or tofu. It's chicken for me. These are healthy! I would recommend having the peanut sauce for flavor and Sriracha sauce for a little kick. You will love the peanut sauce! These are delicious! For my soup, I'm having the Chicken with Broccoli Stir Fry. This comes with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, pickled carrots and a side of white rice. I do like to add the Sriracha sauce and the hot chili oil for some more heat (a couple jalapeño slices doesn't cut it). I can hear them (the wok) making my food and I can smell the nice aroma on the air! The food here is served real quick (not even 5 minutes). This is piping hot! What a huge serving! This is so good!!! For $14?! You just can't go wrong! It's nice and spicy now (the way I like it)! Not a drop left! It's still steaming as I finish it! One of the two original owners from the East Hartford location still owns the place. They also now have the highly-sought-after peanut butter brittle wiry sesame seeds. This stuff is good! I'm buying some (all if it - too bad suckers!) as gifts for friends in Maine I'm meeting this weekend. My sister also is trying the Mien Xao which is a chicken stir fry with cellophane noodles (gluten free). What a great meal here! It's healthy, quick and tasty!
