Did you ever go to a boba shop for the first time and had the hardest time deciding on your drink? They all sound good to you, but you can't decide between two drinks that you really really want.
Well, say no more, Taste Bud! I've got chuuu! I've compiled a list of places that actually offer the solution to this widespread issue: split cups.
Split cups are genius! And I wish they were introduced way earlier. Then I would have less of an issue deciding on what to order, because even if I am a regular at a shop, I somehow always take forever to decide. I guess you can call me, indecisive. I mean, I don't wanna be boring and get the same drink every time. But also, I don't wanna be disappointed if I get a new drink that sucks.
And what if I love more than one drink and wanna get more than one? I can't possibly finish 2 full sized drinks at a time! Well, maybe I can but that isn't the point.
With split cups, I can now get two drinks! All conveniently in one cup! YES!!
I hope you will find this guide useful, and solve your indecisiveness. Or maybe it'll make you more indecisive...
Well, at least these places give you choices now.

Tap Gelato - Garden Grove
Review: I actually really like the drinks here! They introduced a new concept: sipping foam drinks. Skip the straw! It's similar to Koi Cafe if you have been. Basically you are given a cute mini "knife" where you cut slit on the plastic heat sealed lid, and you drink the foam with tea without shaking it. Try it!
Recommendations:
- Rosemary Lemongrass: very herbal and sorta citrus-y!
- Almond Milk Tea with Chia: actual almond milk!
- Jasmine and Matcha Foam drinks
Price: Split cups are $5

Review: I honestly don't really like this place. Been disappointed with their drinks every time. It's either too watery, tea is too oversteeped so it's too bitter, drinks are too syrupy, or something disappointing.
Recommendations: none really. However, customer service is very friendly.
Price: $5.25. Pay an entire dollar if you want no ice for each split = $2 total. wth
