Their popularity and influence has long reached thouands of people in the local community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"opacity: 0;\" superb-addons-animation=\"fadeIn\">But for those who do: Bubble Cafe is a bubble tea shop and restaurant located on Broad Street in downtown Athens, several steps away from the Arch. They sell boba milk tea, fruit teas, matcha, smoothies &amp; slushies, poke bowls, rice bowls, and many more offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"opacity: 0;\" superb-addons-animation=\"fadeIn\">Their drinks, food, and comfortable environment brings in hundreds of customers daily. Whether you&#8217;re a student looking for a quick meal, or a local in the mood for a sweet treat, Bubble Cafe has something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bubble Cafe is a frequent spot for me, so I&#8217;ve tried a lot of their offerings. Here are some of my favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sesame Chicken and Rice Bowl<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0146-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0146-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0146-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0146-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0146-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0146-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_0146-850x638.jpeg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of my favorite dishes at Bubble Cafe. It&#8217;s simply breaded and fried chicken topped with sesame sauce and sesame seeds, accompanied with fresh rice and broccoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my experience, they always end up putting a lot of sauce in the chicken. I like to order this dish at the counter and request that they use less sauce than normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, I paired it with a Thai milk tea with boba. The subtle sweetness of the milk tea makes it an excellent refreshment to wash down this rice bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lychee Black Tea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7943-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7943-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7943-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7943-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7943-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7943-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7943-850x1133.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7943-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I first had this drink out of curiousity. Before then, I had never had a cold fruit tea, so this tea was a fantastic first impression! It has the sweet and tart taste of lychee that it&#8217;s known for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like to order mine with 75% sweetness (ignore the photo above \ud83d\ude05) and with lychee jelly as a topping. It&#8217;s an amazing fruit tea with a caffeine kick for the warm weather \u263c<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__prefix\">tags: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/tag\/asian\/\" rel=\"tag\">asian<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/tag\/cafe\/\" rel=\"tag\">cafe<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/tag\/lunch\/\" rel=\"tag\">lunch<\/a><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-category wp-block-post-terms\"><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__prefix\">categories: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/category\/lunch\/\" rel=\"tag\">Lunch<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gabbycruz.name\/project-three\/blog\/category\/uncategorized\/\" rel=\"tag\">Uncategorized<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-superb-addons-google-maps\"><div class=\"superbaddons-google-maps-block\" style=\"border-radius:5%;height:300px\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300px\" frameborder=\"0\" margin=\"0\" padding=\"0\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?width=100%&amp;height=100%&amp;q=247 E Broad St Athens, GA  30601 United States&amp;t=&amp;z=15&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;iwloc=B&amp;output=embed\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re a UGA student or an Athens native, Bubble Cafe needs no introduction.
