The days are warming up, sending us in search for the perfect refreshing drink. In her search to find a new favorite glass of bubble tea, Dskco went to the Bubble Tea Cafe on Rollins Avenue (where Twinbrook Parkway turns into Rollins). She was pretty happy with the results and plans on going back.
The other week the bf and I craved a refreshing drink, so before grocery shopping we stopped by Bubble Tea Cafe in Rockville. I was looking for a cafe to replace my beloved Bubble Mix (out of business) which I used to frequent 3 times a week in College Park years ago. This place is like a grown up version of that place. Parking is located on the sides and behind the building. The closest metro stop is Twinbrook on the red line.
Sometimes I’m in the mood for bubble tea and I didn’t know this shop was tucked away in Rockville. Although a couple of others are closer to home, this could be a cozy, out-of-the-way place to take a break. Plus I always found the bubbles to be chewy and apparently, they don’t have to be!
A recent New York Times article on food blogging puts New Jersey (my beloved home state) at the forefront of local people snapping pictures of restaurants for a multitude of blogs. Restaurant owners have become completely accustomed to patrons posting the pictures everywhere. I couldn’t help but think of our Dskco! Her pictures provide a perfect sense of place for all of her restaurant excursions.
Lunching in the DMV is a local Rockville blog reviewing restaurants throughout the metro DC area. Whenever she writes about a restaurant in Rockville, we post a link to her article. She stops by all those places you wonder about to let you know whether you should. We’re happy to share her experiences with our readers.
But you don’t have to go so far (for those who live in central Rockville, in a radius of the courthouse): we have our own bubble tea cafe in the Congressional Plaza (aka “behind IHOP”):Jumbo Jumbo Bubble Express765 E. Rockville PikeRockville, VA 20852 Tel. 301-545-1708It also has food. I have tasted the food, and not yet the bubble tea, but I pronounce it good.
Thanks for putting in a plug for local restaurants. But the IHOP and the Jumbo Jumbo Bubble Express are in Ritchie Plaza, a bit north of Congressional.
