Tea Rex, Rohnert Park

The owners of Tea Rex have a serious obsession with boba. Before they opened up shop, they used to drive an hour each way—or crabwalk 18 hours each way—to satisfy their craving for a drink laden with the chewy tapioca pearls. But the fruit of their long journeys was often inconsistent. Thus, Tea Rex was born. Today, the shop offers seven different types of beverages, such as milk tea, smoothies, and Vietnamese-style iced coffee packed with regular or popping boba.
