Sara's Review of Blenders

I too, am picky with my tapioca. The pearls should have an 'al dente' texture, which literally means bite to eat. They should not be too soft or too hard, just right in between, where there is a chew. Anyways, I have tried two drinks at Blenders on separate occasions. I have tried the Cafe Su Dau, which is Vietnamese iced coffee. The drink was fantastic! The coffee was made just right, sweet and intense. Unfortunately, I had my tapioca coffee on an empty stomach, and felt jittery afterwards. Recently, on such a hot day, I decided on the Thai iced tea with tapioca. Sadly, I did not enjoy my drink as much as I did on my previous trip. The drink and the pearls were right on, but my cup was filled with too much crushed ice! I felt as if the drink contained less tea and more ice. I had so many tapioca pearls left that were stuck in between blended pieces of ice. It did not make my occasion any fun trying to suck in the tapioca pearls that were jammed in between ice pieces. Maybe next time around I visit Blenders, I will tell them to hold the ice, or keep it minimum. Personally I don't like the taste of chewy delectable pearls with sharp ice in between.
