Summer fun idea #2: a special outing for bubble tea

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy

I’ve mentioned bubble tea on the blog before but since it’s one of our favourite things to do in Ottawa during the summer months I thought it deserved a fresh mention!

Step one: drive to Somerset Street and park the car.
Step two: walk, and poke your head into any shop that tweaks your curiosity along the way.
Step three: acquire bubble tea.

Have you had bubble tea? It’s cold, creamy, sweet, and delightfully chewy. There are a number of places to buy it, but we like My Sweet Tea.

Feeling munchy? You can pick up four spring rolls for a dollar at Kowloon Market just up the street (712 Somerset):

Related: a trip to T&T Supermarket (224 Hunt Club Rd.) is also an excellent diversion. And it’s air conditioned! Also: there’s also sushi to be had there, so maybe you should time that one over lunch. :)

I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
