LAI CHA

Lai Cha is the bubble tea spot that’s stealing hearts (and tastebuds) in Deptford. Their bubble tea is a fan favorite, and it's no surprise when Sydney declares their tapioca pearls 'always perfect.' Whether you're there for the mapo tofu or a cheeky soft serve, the vibe is warm and inviting, thanks to the friendly owners who seem to know just how to keep the good times flowing. Ssg's experience with the mapo tofu and dessert combo is a glowing endorsement of their value for money, and who doesn’t love a good deal?

But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows; a few folks note that while the drinks are a hit, some items leave something to be desired. Still, with the atmosphere and freshly baked goodies, Lai Cha is a solid choice if you're thirsty for a little adventure without the hygiene worries.
