There’s an old proverb: you’re never more than 100 metres away from a bubble tea store in Chatswood. If you haven’t tried the Taiwanese tea-based drinks, this is your sign to order a drink at one of the 14 stores across the suburb. With all menus having a wide range of fruit and milk tea options (and more), you’re bound to find one to enjoy.
Here’s the North Shore Lorikeet’s guide to drinking bubble tea in Chatswood. If we missed one, email us at editor@northshorelorikeet.com.au.
(Bubble tea is also commonly referred to as boba, the name for the tapioca pearls that are in many of the drinks. To avoid confusion, we’ve referred to the drink as bubble tea for the entirety of this article.)
Chatime
Even if you haven’t tried bubble tea, you’ve probably heard of Chatime. The largest bubble tea brand in Australia was founded in Taiwan in 2005. Chatime has a wide selection of bubble tea, from more traditional fruit and milk teas, to more Westernised flavours, such as Cookies and Cream. The store also offers frozen bubble tea, with a similar texture to a slushie, some mixed with energy drinks like Red Bull.
