CHA-yeahhhhhh! Imagine my delight today while strolling along Rivington Street I find newly opened Chatime!? I'd been meaning to visit the other locations to snag some delicious milk teas but now with this one in my 'hood, I'm happy as a tapioca slurping clam! After lunch, I made a quick beeline back and had the Chatime Milk Tea with ice, pearls and half sugar. I'm a big fan of their "sugar level index" that allows you to really customize how sweet you'd like it. I went with half sugar and it was perfect. If you are cutting out the stuff altogether they'll make it with no additional sugar, major score. The options are plentiful without being too overwhelming and it's not all bright colors and round letters (always makes me feel like i'm in a Hello Kitty movie), like a lot of bubble tea places...this is calm, cool, and collected. The owner helped us out with our selections, chatted to us about the shop and we sat at the bench window seats for a bit enjoying our milk teas and catching up on a few emails. It's small, but very comfortable. Very pleased! Welcome to Shoreditch, Chatime! read more
