Boba Quest 2025 🧋: ChaHalo
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/12/31/boba-quest-chahalo.html
Sometimes you visit a new place that just inspires you to write about it...unfortunately, this wasn't for good reasons.
4/10 (that's being generous).

Boba Quest 2025 🧋: Surreal Creamery
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/05/07/boba-quest-surreal-creamery.html
It's not your typical boba shop; on first glance it looks like an ice cream shop.
But what better way to kick off the warm months than by talking about boba ice cream?
7/10, can't go wrong on a hot summer day.
Boba Quest 2025 🧋: I'Milky, Easter edition
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/04/30/boba-quest-imilky-easter-edition.html
I'Milky is running a promotion that is not their normal Easter one, instead they're celebrating coconuts I guess.
I got a yuzu lychee splash, which was pretty good (and didn't taste like coconuts at all), except the yuzu rinds really messed up the texture and feel of the drink.

Boba Quest 2025 🧋: Shiny Tea on the Upper West Side
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/04/23/boba-quest-shiny-tea.html
It's closing soon :( so I brought some friends to help fill up my *privacy-preserving* stamp card!
I enjoyed it - 8/10 - but their reviews were less than stellar. That's one of the fun things about boba, everyone likes it in their own particular way.
A different kind of Boba Quest post for today: Shiny Tea on the Upper West Side is closing at the end of the month
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/04/16/shiny-tea-is-closing.html
It used to be my go-to boba shop back when I lived on the UWS and it was the very first place I was a "regular" at :(
If you're in the area next week, I highly recommend stopping by, it's a pretty unique place!
Boba Quest 2025 🧋: Erye Tea Shop in Long Island City
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/04/10/boba-quest-erye-tea-shop.html
We're back! I'm mostly not sick anymore! And somehow I ended up trying a boba shop that was adjoined to a hair salon.
6/10, probably wouldn't come back, there's better boba nearby.
Apologies, the regular #BobaQuest update will be delayed - I've been sick all week and haven't had the opportunity to go anywhere really (except the doctor's office).
Boba Quest 2025 🧋: Xing Fu Tang in Flushing
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/03/19/boba-quest-xing-fu-tang.html
This week I reviewed a recommendation from @huertanix - and it was worth it!
9/10, our second-ever complete score. It'll be re-reviewed in the future for consistency to see if it can earn a 10/10.
Boba Quest 2025 🧋: Tea-Do in University City, Philadelphia
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/03/12/boba-quest-tea-do.html
Took the train down to #Philadelphia to try some new boba! (multiple trains actually)
It was quite good: 8/10. A good experience for my first time in Philly, definitely plan on visiting again soon.
New blog post: A website for Boba Quest 2025 🧋
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/03/08/a-website-for-boba-quest-2025.html
Now that I have two months of reviews under my belt, I wanted to create a proper website to make it easy to discover them.
Anyways, here's said website: https://legoktm.com/bobaquest/
Boba Quest 2025 🧋: Bobavise in Crown Heights, Brooklyn
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/03/05/boba-quest-bobavise.html
First official review in Brooklyn, and also the first official review of...a laundromat???
4/10, unfortunately. It's a brand new shop, so I hope this is just starting pains and they get better over time.
Boba Quest 2025 🧋: Breaktime Tea in San José, California
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/02/26/boba-quest-breaktime-tea.html
Yes, despite being on vacation I'm still reviewing boba. Breaktime is a special place for me because when I led the Spartan Daily, we awarded it first place in our "Tea Taste Test".
10/10, still top-notch taste and experience. Would drink again. And again.
Boba Quest 2025 🧋: Boba Baar in Garden City
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/02/19/boba-quest-boba-baar.html
First boba shop in Long Island, and it was a bit of a let down.
5/10, despite being pretty nice shop itself. Also uhhh, if someone advertises tiramisu milk tea, treat it suspiciously 👀.
