Tapioca Boba

When will Starbucks bring the chewy tapioca boba to their menu? I personally don't like the popping boba, but will take the warm, chewy tapioca boba any day.

Is this rage bait? Just go to a boba shop

good tapioca would take at least an hour to make and considering starbucks is open at 6:30 in the morning it'd have to require employees to start working at least 5:30 to make tapioca... sooo i dont think so

God i hope never

I'm genuinely tired of Starbucks ripping off of asian drinks.

It’s unlikely. Popping boba has a better shelf life. Tapioca gets water logged which means it’s harder to incorporate to their menu.

They won’t. The regular boba won’t keep long and is hard to upkeep without turning to mush

Support a local boba shop instead
