The bubble tea party is coming to Atlanta!
Bubbleology, a British-based bubble tea café brand that launched in April 2011, will open its first stores in the United States at Lenox Square and the Mall of Georgia this November, according to a release.

“It’s the perfect place to introduce the bubble tea concept before continuing our expansion throughout Southeast and beyond.”

Add a ton of sugar, use southern names such as red velvet and banana puddin’ and they are here to stay
Can’t we get bubble tea at 100 places on Buford Highway?
Can’t wait to try it!
dunwoody please!! there are NO bubble tea places in Dunwoody/Sandy Springs and there are already so many in Buckhead.
I went to a Yelp event they hosted this week and this stuff is AWESOME! It will be a BIG hit and is here to stay!!! I cannot wait for the Lenox Mall location to open!!!
When do you open @ Lenox Mall?
Met the owner. He is sooo nice.
Hi Robin! The plan was for it to open sometime in November. No date has been set yet, though, and they’re running out of time for this month! We’ll update with a date if it is indeed announced that the opening will be later than expected.
I went to the mall of ga location. There’s an option to have your drink cold or hot, I got hot. My server poured the hot tea into the plastic cup you normally put cold boba teas in. Yet they had the regular cups that are made for hot beverages. I asked them what are they doing because they sealed the drink in those plastic cups with the plastic seal and proceeded to place that cup into the regular cardboard cup so that the drink wouldn’t burn my hands? I’m pretty sure the plastic had melted into my drink already and I asked them to pour it into the cardboard cup thats for hot drinks, but they were reluctant because they didn’t have lids? I understand it’s your first time opening but common sense, who pours hot drinks into thin plastic? I tossed my drink in the trash regardless because one sip was too much milk and not blended well with the tea and probably some plastic. Anyways work on it, I won’t be back anytime soon.
Sorry this stuff isn’t real boba tea, go to pleasant hill if you want the good stuff
