Where can I find bubble tea in Columbia, South Carolina?
I live in midlands SC, somewhat outside of Columbia, and have a hankering to try some bubble tea. (Yes, I said hankering.) I know there are a couple of teashops in my immediate area (Irmo) but I don't think anything of them serve bubble tea. I would be willing to travel as far as downtown Cola/the Vista/Five Points for some bubble tea, but not as far as Greenville (which shows the only bubble tea places in SC, according to google).
So, askmefi: where can a midlands girl get her hands on some delicious bubble tea without going too far for it?

Response by poster: I did try Bobafind, but the only result is something like 40 minutes away from me. As curious as I am, I just can't justify using that amount of gas to taste a delicious beverage. :(

If this is an ongoing hankering, not a one-time thing, you might consider ordering the ingredients online. The traditional pearls take a while in to cook in hot water, but there are "minute pearls" that are ready much faster.

Definitely seconding the idea of ordering the ingredients. I make my own boba tea at home, using supplies that I bought from Lollicup.
