I was in Mining Town, for once not on a Monday, so as a Birthday Treat™ I went a bought myself a bubble tea from the Mining Town Bubble Tea Store.

I didn't expect it to be good, necessarily, I just wanted to Know. Especially because, not to be unfair to Mining Town, it's not the sort of place I'd expect a bubble tea store? Anyway, the tea itself was pretty nice. Kind of expensive for what it was, but they were generous with the tapioca and they gave it a brown sugar swirl.

But the atmosphere? Oh, it was incredible.

Okay, so picture a storefront that's weirdly far back from all the other store fronts, like it used to be a shed or a warehouse of another store. On one side is a workwear shop, on the other side is a tyre place. You walk in. No other customer is there. The only people in there apart from you are a) a high school student working at the till, who is so so soft spoken, they are not comfortable talking to people, which would be a problem in most hospitality jobs but not this one apparently, and b) the owner, who is so cheerful but also keeps randomly walking out of the store?

On half the interior tables are children's toys, and there's a shelf of board books in one corner. Everything about this place screams like, church play room. except for the fact they are making bubble teas in the kitchen area.

TEN/TEN, NO NOTES. I give it 50:50 odds that it's a front, or that it's just a really bizarrely run bubble tea store? I'm glad I went there while it still existed.
