Love: ★★★★
This is a new bubble tea place in downtown. It's very close to Chatime. The good thing is it offers a complete different set of drinks from Chatime and gave us more bubble tea options!
I have never tried this savory cream tea, although I have heard about it so many times from my Taiwanese friends and I assume it's the most popular drink in Taiwan. This is my very first time to try. It comes with a salty cream on top of black tea (or green tea). My friend told me that I shouldn't stir it and the correct to way to drink is to have a big sip which contains both salty and sweet parts. Hmmmmm......it tastes very......different! I don't like it very much, but I think it worth trying and I know a lot of people LOVE this taste!
Actually, I think I am gonna try "grass jelly white gourd" next time.
Aside from savory cream teas, they also offer some very unique kinds of bubble teas, such as tea with basil seeds, fruit teas, and my favorite white gourd! They also have chocolate waffles for $1.
Again, we can also customize ice/sugar level. For latte mei, it's not too sweet overall, so people could try with normal level of sugar.
The very cute thing is they have this small package of tissue papers. haha good marketing strategy and very Taiwanese indeed! They also have the points card so don't forget to get one when buying.
Here is the story of Latte Mei!
(Honestly, I haven't read it....lol....but it's for anyone who is interested in brand history!)
Overall, the location is good and I love the unique flavours they have. However, the place is a little bit too small and could be crowded sometimes. Not good for sitting there but it's good for take out!
