This concerns me- I have a serious boba tea habit. Though the folks at my usual location of Kung Fu Tea have not mentioned a shortage to me, so maybe they're one of the companies that has enough stock to make it through the dark days to come.Could be worse...
‘Everyone’s just panicking’: A boba shortage looms for some shops as container ships sit anchored off ports of L.A., Long Beach
As container ships sit anchored off the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland, creating supply bottlenecks, a boba shortage looms for some stores nationwide — and it could last for months. S…ktla.com
You are the whitest person I have never met.
There is a store in Troy called "quickly boba cafe", every frozen yogurt place I can think of has the little bubbles for toppings. There are genuinely about 2 dozen places between detroit and Troy not including the bigger chains.
I know it is a pandemic but come on man!
If you need a tour guide of the area, let me know!
There isn't a menchies or something by you? Or man.I never knew that those little bubble things at the FroYo places were boba. FWIW, I would go to a self-service yogurt place for lunch every day if there was one conveniently located by my house or office. Nothing beats about 2 ounces of yogurt and a pound of crushed up Oreo cookies!
Yup--little squirt of 2-3 flavors of yogurt, and then a whole bunch of broken butterfinger, reeses, heath, oreo, on top (whatever fits the yogurt flavor better and/or has the biggest pieces sitting in the topping bin)I never knew that those little bubble things at the FroYo places were boba.

Fro-yo is where it is at for sure though
That is the menchies we go to as well. And we love marvin's!We go to the Menchie's at 14 and Orchard Lake on occasion, especially in the summer. That's the closest FroYo place to us. It's about 6 miles and in the summer I'd run there on occasion in the summer and then run home. When my oldest gets to put together a "day with dad" we usually start at Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, then get lunch at CPK or Buffalo Wild Wings, and then finish up at Menchie's. Thankfully, she likes all the same trashy stuff I do!
There used to be a good place in downtown Birmingham but the owners suddenly decided to retire and closed up shop a few years ago. Then some non-chain place opened up in the shopping center at Maple and Lahser and that was great because it was just a few blocks from our house but they closed after less than a year (they were terribly overpriced, had no signage, and were in the worst location in the strip totally hidden from the road and people walking past).

Cpk sadly closed though.
Also, I would like to welcome everyone to the oakland county chamber of commerce meeting
I mean it is an arcade. Every arcade is a bit gross!I forgot that that CPK closed. We tried to get takeout from there back in the summer and I discovered we had to go to Somerset instead.
Marvin's is definitely a gem. There were some worries it would close completely because of the pandemic but it looks like they're surviving. Honestly though, that place was always so grimy and dirty and gross in the best of times that I've got absolutely no desire to go in there now but that's one of the places my oldest has been asking about so I know I'll only be able to hold out so long.
Only in my dreamsFroyo? Is it 2010 again?
You too can hang out with @Michigan Planner and I as we discuss all things midwest.FroYo rules and Menchi's is awesome.
