Blackball Chinatown - Melbourne

The milk tea here is fantastic (5 stars), but the quality of the desserts has declined. I received large clumps of herbal jelly with a small portion of milk to mix in myself. My favorite milk tea is the green tea milk tea with mini balls and herbal jelly. The mini balls are always a must-have!

The waffle was excellent! It had a warm and crispy exterior, while the inside was soft. The strawberries were fresh and sweet. The quality of the ice cream was decent, but overall, it was a very delicious meal!

We were strolling around Chinatown looking for a nice and refreshing drink after dinner, and finally we decided on BlackBall. Though their stores are not as common as some other franchises such as Gong Cha or ChaTime, BlackBall still seems to be pretty popular as there’s always a queue every time we pass.<br/ <br/ Along with serving bubble tea drinks, they also offer a range of Taiwanese desserts such as crushed ice, puddings, soups and even Qffles (chewy waffles). The venue is quite spacious, with plenty of seating. We decided just to get a couple of drinks to go the 3Q Passion Fruit Green Tea and the Melon Lemon Tea with Ice Jelly (both at 30% sweetness level and standard ice). The passionfruit tea was quite pleasant and had a nice variety of textures from all the different ingredients. The winter melon tea was okay, the tea had a really strong roasted flavour and there was plenty of jelly. I really like how they’re very generous with all the toppings/ingredients.<br/ <br/ Staff were also friendly and we were served relatively quickly. Will be back to try their desserts.

When you're alone but you want two flavours Pudding milk tea and Fresh milk with grass jelly in a duo cup. Best decision ever made : Love the fresh milk one

Came here for the desserts and it was very busy. Had the matcha waffles with red bean and the shaved ice with grass jelly and others. Both dishes were great but ice cream could be creamier. Would definitely go back to try the milk tea
