Happenings

For the past few years, boba, or bubble tea – which are chewy tapioca balls inside a light and refreshing tea which originates from Taiwan – have begun popping up all over the United States. That’s for good reason – these refreshing sweet teas come in a wide variety of flavors and are perfect for hot temperatures. 

Bethesda is no exception, and here in our foodie area, we have lots of colorful boba cafes that offer their own takes on the trend. Here’s where to pick one up without going too far from your Elm apartment. 

Bubbles & Tea, located at 1319B Rockville Pike B, Rockville which is 12 minutes from your Elm apartment, was inspired by Taiwan’s famous bubble tea and has taken the traditional drink and added new twists and fresh flavors for an exciting experience.

Bubbles & Tea is dedicated to using high-quality, natural ingredients to create delicious drinks. They also love what they do and want to bring that joy and enthusiasm to all customers. That’s why all staff are well-trained and provide friendly service every day of the week.

Kokee Tea, located at 11160 Veirs Mill Rd, Wheaton which is 14 minutes from your Elm apartment, is a bubble tea café that’s known for its positive energy, neighborhood feel, and high energy and passion. 

The shop is inspired by elephants, since ‘kokee’ is the first two syllables of the elephant in an Eastern language. In many cultures, elephants have been loved for their strength, sociability, leadership and loyalty.
