QQ Bubble Tea opened about a year and a half ago right next door to Carmen China House and started selling a variety of fruit flavored drinks -- some are made with fruit and white, green, or red tea, and some are like the Slushies you get at Dairy Queen, but with a twist. Any of the drinks can include an extra item such as tapioca balls, gelatin, or fruit extract that is mixed in with the drink. The store also sells little egg shaped cakes that taste like warm pound cake. This restaurant is run by Chinese immigrants who imported the idea from Taiwan. The owners, a husband and wife, are the sweetest people you would ever want to meet, and a perk for those who get "addicted" to Bubble Tea -- as several of my friends and I have -- you get a card where after nine drinks, you get one free!!
