The origins of bubble tea
Bubble Tea also called boba originated in Taiwan in the early 1980's at a small tea stand. Most of the time tapioca pearls were served in cold infused tea. After the tea and flavor were shaken well, it topped tapioca pearls that were sitting on the bottom of a clear cup. The tapioca pearls also looked like bubbles, thus became to known as "Bubble Tea."

Bring out the decorations, dust off the mantel, and gather your calendars with background music of Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas is you- and Wham! -Last Christmas - The holiday season has officially started!
A couple of months ago we started to create a holiday tradition at WOW. The first step was to see if we could also incorporate our gelato into the menu during the winter months. After a number of brainstorming sessions, we came up with the idea of introducing guilty pleasures during the holidays. Something for everyone. Are you crazy about chocolate? Do you choose a vegan option? Or do you go for a fluffy texture? Guess what? We did it! Satisfy your dessert cravings with our Guilty pleasures.

Yes! At WOW we do have vegan options! All the poppings and boba are vegan! Boba is made from tapioca starch which is extracted from cassava root. No gelatin! Popping boba is also gelatin free, because it is made from agar agar which comes from seaweed extract. And swapping the cow milk for creamy coconut milk or oat milk makes your bubble tea 100% vegan. At WOW we have plant-based and nut milk alternatives such as almond, oat, or soy.
