Where the concierge points people first
- Xing Fu Tang — The Taiwanese brown-sugar specialist. The pearls are cooked and caramelised in front of you, so order the brown sugar milk and let it sit a minute to streak down the cup. (48.8653, 2.3577)
- YiFang Fruit Tea Les Halles — A Taiwanese chain built around fresh fruit teas rather than milk teas. The pineapple and passion fruit versions are the reason to come, and a lighter choice on a hot afternoon. (48.8631, 2.3497)
- machi machi Opéra — Another Taiwanese name, known for its milk-cap and cheese-foam toppings. Sip it without a straw first so you get the foam and the tea together. (48.8673, 2.3367)
- Laïzé Opéra — One of three Laïzé branches mapped here, a name you will not find outside Paris. Worth trying if you want something that is not a global logo. (48.8683, 2.3357)
- Bubble Tea Teawan Choisy — On the Choisy side of the 13th arrondissement, among the Asian supermarkets and noodle houses, which is where a bubble tea crawl in Paris makes most sense. (48.8264, 2.3596)

The 13th is where Paris learned to drink it
Paris's Asian quarter is the triangle de Choisy, bounded by Avenue de Choisy, Avenue d'Ivry and Boulevard Masséna in the 13th. It grew from the Southeast Asian arrivals of the 1970s and 80s, and it is still where the density of tea shops, bakeries and dessert houses is highest. The second cluster is around Les Halles and Opéra, where the international chains took their first central sites. If you are choosing a neighborhood rather than a shop, the 13th gives you better food around the drink.
