Hippo Bubble Tea

Bendigo's go-to bubble tea shop, praised for fresh-brewed (not powdered) pearl milk tea.

A cute, colourful counter-service shop in central Bendigo that reviewers describe as a fun hang-out spot to sit and relax with friends, especially on hot days.

Freshly brewed tea rather than powder mix (specifically praised by multiple long-term customers), soft house-made-style tapioca pearls, a big range of flavours and toppings, plus gelato and bubble waffles.

Mixed. most reviewers rate the tea as fresh and comparable to established bubble tea chains like Gong Cha, though one Taiwanese reviewer felt the pearls and tea quality fell short of genuine boba standards.

Called great value by most reviewers, though one flags that the 'large' cup size is the same as the small, just narrower and taller.
