There’s a first time for everything, and for me this was my first boba experience. I welcomed the opportunity to attend the soft opening of “Daboba Rancho Bernardo” and finally begin my boba education.
I had only hazy presumptions to work with, so other than a beverage with some kind of globules to draw up through a widened straw, my expectations were mostly a blank canvas.
I was provided a “Brown Sugar Pearl Choco” and I was both surprised and satisfied. It reminded me remotely of a Chocolate milkshake, but it was not nearly as sweet. While I suspected that the boba would be flavorless, I was mistaken. It provided a slightly complimentary flavor and its texture reminded me of chewing gum, except that it actually dissolved in my mouth (rather than breaking down over the course of “7 years” in my stomach 😉).
I was surprised by the number of boba flavor series’ available (with multiple variations within each for you to choose from) and that apparently you have the opportunity to customize the sugar level for your order.
I enjoyed my first boba and with my maiden voyage now safely behind me I am ready to set sail for new and exciting boba destinations!
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
