It was the oversized straw in the drink that piqued my interest and then those chewy, small spheres that came shooting through it into the mouth. That was my first tryst with bubble tea in Thiruvananthapuram. During the pre-pandemic era, the Kerala capital had only a few cafes that sold the drink. But post the second lockdown, more have opened in the city expanding the city’s bubble tea fanbase.
There is Cafe Boba Queen near Vellayambalam junction, Bumble Bee, the food truck at Althara Junction and its sister concern, Cafe Club De, near Nanthancode and BAO-TAO at Kowdiar.
