THERE BE TEA HERE! Ferndale's Newest Hip Spot

Sam Gurwin (Gadfly Investigations News- June 11, 2015)
SO IT FINALLY OPENED! The Detroit Bubble Tea Company at about 9 mile and Woodward. A nice space with sitting areas in the front with comfortable seats and even a couch. The back has several tall bar-type tables. One can enter from the back or from Woodward Avenue. It would be a nice place to take a date after hitting beautiful downtown Ferndale, Michigan! The middle of the space is the serving and employee area.

After going up to the counter, we discovered the employees are very nice. I explained I didn't know anything about Bubble Tea- they were happy to explain the different flavors and other choices. 

BUBBLE TEA? WHAT IS THAT?

Well, alittle research shows Bubble Tea is a 1980's invention from Taiwan. The drink has a "Tea Base" with milk and/or fruit is added with little balls (at the bottom) that vary from fruity to tapioca. Shaking the drink causes the "Bubbles". A thick straw is served with the drink so one can sip up the flavored parts! The drink was "well received" in our part of the world. The Gadfly agrees!

It's all good at THE DETROIT BUBBLE TEA COMPANY!

THE CHOICES:

(1) Consistency: Does one want a slush? Alittle milk to make it less consistent? They seem to be able to make whatever combo you like. Just let them know.

(2) Favor: Over 15 flavors plus the ability to mix them.

(3) Bottom (or as they call it topping!): 
They are little flavored "Candies" on the bottom on the drink.
The thick straw is a perfect size to suck them into your mouth.
     - Jellies pearls at the bottom
     - Soft pearls with different flavors
     -Tapioca pearls- merging  jelly and chewy

BUSINESS CULTURE & LOOKING FORWARD


You know it's a good place to work when one of the employee says (I heard in passing) "Alycia [Owner] is my Bubble Tea Mother". I spoke to Alycia briefly about her Store and business in general. 


  1. The Store has been open for about 2 weeks
  2. They are testing which favors and such for their products sell the best.
  3. They will be getting more food products within a week or so.
  4. Business is good!
