As the temps get warmer, we had the idea of rounding up some of our favorite ways to cool off during the summer. The first part of that series? Instagram-worthy bubble tea shops around town.

Tsaocha, 1080 S. Broadway, Ste. 201
Bubble tea, mojitos, or drinks topped with milk foam — there’s a unique Asian-fusion sip for everyone. Bonus: It also serves bites like ice cream and egg waffles.

Sharetea, 2860 Richmond Rd., Ste. 180
Get your fix of fruit + bubble teas, choose your preferred sweetness level, and get ready to sip.

Bubble Tea Studio, 535 S. Upper St., Ste. 185
Try a classic milk tea and add your choice of 12 different bursting bubbles and jellies.

Black Pearl, 171 W. Lowry Ln., Ste. 176
After you’ve munched down on some Vietnamese cuisine at Pho BC, head next door to wash it all down with a Thai milk tea.
