It is mandatory to have bubble tea on your birthday. Well, at least for me. With COVID-19, we didn't venture out to discover any new places. This was the closest bubble tea location to us so we ventured out on a Sunday afternoon. We followed the address but had difficulty finding it. There was a sign for Ding Tea in the Petco plaza but I didn't see a sign for Presotea. We called the store to confirm we were at the right location and they mentioned their door was under the Pho Royal sign.
They're currently rebranding as Presotea. After you park, you can see their store sign as you get close. From the outside they looked small but once you walk inside it was a large space. They had quite the variety of bubble tea from flavored juice tea to milk tea. I got the QQ Passionfruit Green tea with bobba and my husband got the smoothie version of it. The staff was friendly and got us our order quick.
While we were waiting, you can help but notice the large mural. Perfect for all of your basic Instagram photos. You can also customize your drink with the ice and sugar level. You can also choose if you want any toppings or fillers like rainbow jelly or bobba. QQ Passionfruit seems to be a standardized flavor because it tasted the same from a few other places I've gotten it. They also had a sign they've partnered up with Grubhub to bring the drinks to you. Never thought I'd see the day where someone could delivered me bubble tea but I'm here for it. Can't wait to order from them again after their rebrand!
