Fat Straws is the place to go for excellent bubble tea. What is bubble tea? It's sweetened tea with the addition of tapioca bubbles in it. So you can sip and chew, sip and chew, sip and chew. It's like a game. Fortunately they give you a fat straw (hence the name ""Fat Straws"") so you can slurp the bubbles through the straw. They offer many different flavors of tea including thai, chai, and green tea. If you don't like tea you can get a fruit smoothie too, or a chilled latte. I personally like the chai tea latte. They also have weird flavors like green tea ice cream, and avocado smoothies. \r

The atmosphere is a little crammed, as the place is mostly a grab n' go place, however they do have magazines and chinese checkers for you to play. If it's not too hot, you can sit at the tables outside, although it's a shame the sidewalks here aren't under shady trees. The lunch hour is when they're most busy with lots of scrambling patrons going to all the quick-eating restaurants in the strip mall, but they always come back here for some delicious bubbly dessert.\r

One more thing. You can get your drink without bubbles, but WHAT'S THE POINT, MAN?! Fat Straws is too full of bubble goodness to pass up the bubbly bubbleness. So come on down and let your addiction start too!
Pros: Tasty bubble tea treats
Cons: not enough parking, no shade outside
