Taste Buds is located along State Street and Pennsylvania Avenue on the Bristol, TN side…read more We visited here as they offered Boba Tea and Bubble Blast drinks. I learned that Bubble Blasts are carbonated soda water mixed with flavor and popping bubbles. The staff is very friendly and helpful with our order. They offer a wide selection of flavors for drinks. Aside from the boba and bubble drinks we usually get, they offer a variety of ice cream desserts and frozen Asian treats. My first impression was Ice Cream Soda Shoppe vibe meets Asian desserts offerings.

I first learned about Taiwan on Bubble Tea by following their Instagram account, and then I heard…read morethem mentioned on a couple of FB group pages. This is definitely a place worth checking out, and what an amazing addition to the community! A great spot to grab some delicious Bubble Tea and bites; hang out with some friends to share. We were greeted by a warm and welcoming staff. Our food came out fresh and tasty! We've had our experience of ordering gyoza, and this by far has been the best! It wasn't greasy, the filling plump and juicy, and no strong aftertaste (which we have experienced in the past). A true winner. Thank you, for opening your doors to the area! I am excited to return soon!

Got sesame chicken and General Tso chicken. Both taste like sweet and sour sauce, seriously no…read moredifference. Hardly any broccoli at all. 24oz wonton soup had three wontons. And wonton chips are stale. Menu at drive thru said $8 and some change but was charged over $12. "Because it was dinner." Which would've been fine if I didn't get sweet and sour chicken for both orders. STILL waiting for good NYC style take out in Bristol, but Will return in a pinch and will only order one meal, but I'm pretty disappointed in my experience.

Had to go to my favorite boba spot in NC since I was back in Boone! Got the Chicken Spirit (salted…read moreegg yolk) with Black Tea one weekend & the Chicken Spirit with Thai Tea the next- I think the egg yolk flavor is more discernible with black tea, but my personal favorite is with the added Thai tea profile. My sister got the Mango Tango, which was very refreshing. We also tried their Green Thai Tea Bingsu, which is a new offering & it was absolutely delicious. Service and ambiance are great. 10/10 would recommend!

We frequently stop by to grab some boba tea whenever we visit the Johnson City Mall…read more The staff is always so warm and friendly and great to chat with. Madison is a favorite staff we encounter and she is just the sweetest. Located in the food court inside the Johnson City mall, Bubble Up is a great stop to get your boba fix!

Has potential to be very good. It's popping bubbles and not boba, so I was kinda sad about that…read more But do not get the Sakura rose . Taste like liquid soap! No joke. The green apple with green apple bubbles is good. But not the best in the world and not worth the $4.50 for a small . Prices need to be lower especially for this kind of quality. Maybe the smoothies are better? Or the coffee? Just not the milk tea. Service was helpful and nice.

When my friend saw I was in Asheville she mentioned we had to get the shaved ice at Sweets and…read moreSeats. She said it was the best shaved ice she's ever had and way better than any she even had in Hawaii. I was intrigued and suggested to my husband we stop by after dinner one night. This cafe is soooo cute. I'm here on vacation and trying not to work, but if i needed to work for a few hours I would definitely go here. I'd work and eat one dessert after another. The mango shaved ice was even better than expected. It was ginormous and I was full from dinner, but did a pretty good job eating most of it because it was too delicious to stop. My husband got a piece of blueberry cheesecake and i couldn't help, but have a few bites of that as well. I was hoping to make it back a second (or third) time, but sadly don't think we are going to have time. Another reason to come back to Asheville and it may just be my first stop!

This appeared to be a new dessert/bakery place in Asheville...and possibly Taiwanese-owned?…read more Not only beautifully inviting and spacious, with plenty of seatings, the place had awesome A/C (a perfect rest stop on a hot day!) as well. Loved their menu as well. Although their mini cakes and other treats appealed to me as well, I opted to try their Taro Shaved Ice (they had 2 other flavors as well...think Mango and Mocha?). Well, their Taro Shaved Ice was PERFECT!!! The shaved ice was nice and dry, and the toppings (Boba, Lychee jelly, and Strawberries...even whipped cream on top) were generous and delicious! LOVED the place...and I can't wait to return! My husband will absolutely loved their version of Shaved Ice...What a treat to come!
