So HeyTea reopened their Swanston street store offering Buy 1 Get one Free, and then Chatramue (most famous Thai Milk Tea brand) opens their first store in Melbourne (21 March on the same day) also offering Buy 1 get one free.

Both stores are next/close to each other. There's a HUGE crowd and yea I can imagine both queues would be blocking the street. Some waited 5 hours in line, personally I wouldn't do that.

you can buy the Thai milk tea at literally any Asian grocer and make it yourself.

TLDR: Long queues for 2 new store offering Buy 1 get one free milk tea on the same day, some queuing for hours.

  1. I waited an hour for the Thai milk tea today and didn’t rate it that highly but maybe it’s because it’s not really my go to but also maybe I got the wrong thing, apparently they do a durian thing which is good from what I heard from others in the queue

  2. 5 wait time for milk tea? Do people not value their time? The drink will be done in about 5-10 minute

    This is the craziest retail block in Melbourne, you can count literally 7+ bubble tea stores in one tiny strip

    Chatramue is massive in Thailand, some shopping centers have two stores for one shopping center. It’s really nice and authentic

  5. I mean… If that’s what rocks their world… Then go line up for 5 hours. But surely there’s better things to do when you can just go grab it in 10 minutes another day? Ah well. To be a Tok ticker.

    And it’s all basically the same, sugar syrup flavoured slop.

    If you’ve had one milk tea / boba tea you’ve had them all.
