Isn't this Asia? There's gotta be at least one good bubbletea place somewhere in Seoul. I'm craving it!

That fad came and went a couple of years ago. You might be able to find a coffee shop that still serves it, though.

Bubble tea vendors are aroud in the summer, not now. There are three or four along Jongro street between Tapgol Park and Jongro-3-ga.

I thought I saw somewhere in Coex that sells it. Near the front entrance (from the subway) by the Paris Baugette and the Red Mango. I could be wrong though.

There's a stand in the main lobby of underground Lotte at Jamsil. But yeah...I asked a Korean friend about it and they laughed! "Oh, that isn't trendy anymore." Sad.

I don't know about Seoul, I haven't seen bubble tea around here in Busan. When i was in Japan there were only two shops that sold it in all of my friends' searching for it in Nagoya. Easier to find in the States and Canada.

Saw it at some coffeeshop in Itaewon last week...

God, I miss Bubble Tea so much. It's so sad that one of the things I look forward to on my trips home is drinking bubble tea. As the OP said, I came to East Asia expecting a bubble tea on every corner... *sigh*

Bubble tea in Korea is strange. It's not tea, it's fruit juice plus tea plus the *bubbles*. I had it once and it just tasted gross.

[jlb]

Yeah, I think the stuff in Taiwain is so delicious because it's not too sweet. Sugary drinks aren't really my style at all.
