The bubble (or tapioca pearl) tea phenomenon may have begun in Taiwan, but this Vietnamese café presents no less than 63 bubble teas, tropical fruit shakes, tea lattes, and smoothies (all drinks $2.75-5). Flavors such as jackfruit, rambutan, sesame, and lavender make traditional mango and strawberry seem downright dull. The friendly staff encourages you to bring your books and study at the bonsai-bedecked tables. When bubbles and BS50 leave you feeling empty, make your stomach happy with phô (Vietnamese noodle soup, $5-6.25), rice-paper spring rolls ($4.50), or banh-mi, a baguette sandwich with cilantro, daikon, and your choice of meat or tofu ($3.50-5). Vietnam's French influence shows again in the desserts, which include fruit crêpes ($3-5) as well as more Asian green tea ice cream ($2.25).
