Café Jojo

I have some rather exciting news, Leeds — there’s a new bubble tea shop in town! Do you remember the rather lacklustre looking spot just after The Fenton en route into town, around the corner from the mini police door? (Next to the uni car park.) Well, that has finally said goodbye, and Café Jojo has sprung up in its stead.
I noticed this place sometime in December, as I was heading in to do some Christmas shopping. I’d logged it to try, seeing the magic words ‘coffee and bubble tea’, but didn’t get a chance to stop in until now.
Inside it’s fine — clean, a good amount of seating (for the quirky shape of the building), and pleasant enough. It feels pretty uninspiring/​sans personality inside insofar as it could be any standard coffee shop; there’s not a lot screaming what they’re about, is what I’m saying. But, that doesn’t matter if the offerings are good, amiright?
So, I can’t tell you about the food as I didn’t try any. I think there were sandwiches, cakes, and other usual suspects…
But I can tell you about the bubble tea! And be honest, that’s why you’re reading this, no? Sadly, my favourite flavour (taro) had run out when I got there — but that’s positive, as it means people are buying it. (Therefore, I hope, they’ve a chance at making it.) Instead I went matcha green tea, as I’m all about the milky bubble teas. If you’re not, don’t worry; Jojo has innumerable options for you, including things like mango and lychee! I really want to try the lemongrass next from the milky range.
If you’re more in a tea or coffee place, you can avail yourself of chai lattes, hot chocolates, herbal teas, coffee, and a range of special teas (which I’m assuming are loose leaf) like rose oolong and more. I really have to come back and get my tea on.
So, how was the bubble tea? Served by a really lovely lady who was totally friendly, quickly made (we got take out), and totally delicious. It was warm, which I’ve not had before (most have either been chilled or made with ice) but this didn’t bother me. I guess the tapioca could have been a bit softer, if I were to be picky, but it was perfectly sweet and delicious.
You know I’m coming back to try the whole range. I might even walk there for lunch, because BUBBLE TEA! A fab place and definitely worth a look.
