Royal Family in Chinatown, Portland Oregon.

here in san francisco there are all sorts of places to get bubble tea. some of my favorite ones use real fruit instead of just the powder...there's a vietnamese deli called little paris that uses fresh taro, honeydew, etc. in their bubble tea. there's a little paris in chinatown (stockton & clay) and one in the inner richmond district (clement & 6th ave).

you do get some cool flavors with the powder- or syrup-based teas, though...i'm partial to the almond/green tea combo...i've had really good mocha and chocolate mint flavor boba, too.

bubble tea rules!! =)
