The big news in boba is that there isn t much of it right now. But there’s not so much a boba shortage as there is a boba delay, according to Victoria Lam, co-owner of Tea Street, at 4090 East Mississippi Avenue, and ASA Foods, a food distribution service, along with her brother Patrick. She says this as national headlines are warning that the rest of the country is experiencing a boba crisis. It’s been aggravated as customers have come in with the intention of buying the chewy tapioca balls in bulk before supplies run out.
“Let’s not do the whole toilet paper thing again,” says Victoria. “Order what you need. There will be more.”

Bambu s, a Vietnamese-inspired beverage shop, has opened its first drive-thru in Denver at 2215 S. Broadway St., according to a company press release.
The star of the menu is Chè a coconut-based drink, layered with various combinations of homemade taro paste, beans, jellies, red tapioca, basil seeds and exotic fruits but customers may also order a number of other beverages, including Cà Phê Sữa Dá, a rich Mocha blended Vietnamese coffee with coffee jellies. Having a drive-thru for Chè is something that has never been done before, and we are thrilled to bring this innovative concept to the community of SoBo, Marc Geman, CEO of Bambu Franchising LLC, which owns the Denver Bambu.
