New York: Bar Pa Tea
Abby and I had our different lists of what we wanted to eat while in New York, but one place that featured on both lists was Bar Pa Tea:
We went straight there after dinner at Tabetomo. The shop was small and the line reached the front door:
Why were we so excited about Bar Pa Tea? For this:
Besides drinks, Bar Pa Tea also offers tea flavored soft serve, which we're all about. The flavors available the night we went were black tea and oolong. We got a swirl of both ($5.50) and added pearls to it ($0.50).
When we were asked whether we wanted the pearls on the top or on the bottom, we froze for a second. We had a choice? As you can see from the photo, we decided to get the pearls on top. We regretted it later because having the pearls at the bottom would have created a more pearl tea-looking effect.
Sigh. Missed opportunity.
The soft serve itself was creamy and delicious and everything we hoped for. But a couple bites in, we noticed that the center was entirely hollow:
Um. If I'm paying $6 for ice cream, I expect the cup to be filled.
Slightly disappointed by that, but no regrets about going. Though once in a lifetime is enough for me.
