Boba Latte is a popular bubble tea joint in downtown Richardson. What distinguishes it from the millions of other little places in the area that sell bubble tea are its intimate atmosphere (limited seating) and its selection of unusual flavors in addition to the typical almond milk tea and mango slushes. Their employees like to invent their own drinks, and sometimes they even put actual chunks of fruit in your drink. I recommend getting one of these unusual beverages if you go, because their run-of-the-mill flavors are in fact somewhat mediocre.
The employees are really friendly and this seems to be a more diverse location than the nearby Lollicup, Tapioca House, and others, as it attracts more non-Chinese customers and even the employees are from many different backgrounds.
One thing that bugs me is that they don't have the nifty seal-on caps that let you shake your drink w/o worry of spillage; instead they have normal "click-on" plastic lids. Still, it's a good place worth checking out.
