We attended a bubble tea barista experience as a team building exercise. Our teacher was knowledgeable and answered our many questions with ease. We learnt about the ingredients and skill that's involved in preparing various bubble teas which we found very interesting. Our favourite part was making our bubble teas, we enjoyed getting to use the ingredients and equipment and being able to take away 3 delicious bubble teas at the end was great.

Lovely tea barista, very caring and attentive to our needs and questions, very funny, too!

Abdullah Kattineh Nov 2023


Me and my girlfriend had a great time at this bubble tea class! Shreya was very well prepared starting the experience with a little bit of history on bubble tea and the franchise she is working at. Then we did some tasting of teas and toppings which was brilliant for us as although we have been having bubble tea for more than 4 years, we always get the same stuff and we don't try many new things. This was eye-opening for us to start trying different bubble tea drinks. We then made some green tea and tapioca balls. Shreya went over the instructions very clearly being careful over our safety when, for instance, handling very hot water as that part she mostly did herself. Finally, each of us made 3 delicious drinks! Overall, everyone at the shop was very nice to us and made sure we had a great time!

Teacher's response

Thank you Abdullah for such a great review. We are glad that you and your girlfriends enjoyed the experience and the drinks. Please do recommend us to your family and friends. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Thank you for such a great lesson. It was very insightful learning where the origins of bubble tea come from to going over the workflow of making the drinks ready for customers each morning.

Making a few drinks to take at the end was the highlight, exploring different drinks on the menu.

Aistė Valiaugaitė Aug 2023


We booked a group lesson, which should include making 3 bubble tea, 90 min.
They did 3 bubble tea of choice. That was the nicest part - to make all by yourself. Given instructions were clear
Barista was nice, answered and explained all the questions asked.

One thing to have in mind - duration of the lesson was less than hour(!), not 90 min

Teacher's response

Hi Aiste. We are glad you enjoyed making 3 bubble teas of your choice. We apologise for the class duration being short that day. We usually have 2-3 participants in the class in which case the class lasts about 90 minutes. On days where there is only 1 participant the class can finish early. Thanks for highlighting this, we will update our class notes to reflect this.

Also, we would like to invite you back for 3 free bubble teas of your choice on us. Please drop by anytime :) We hope to see you again soon.

I enjoyed mixing the drinks, using the machine to put the lids on the cups and learning how to cook the tapioca pearls. I made three drinks and got to take two of them away with me! I had thought though that we would be using the pearls we cooked in our drinks though. We stood waiting for the pearls to cook and then once they were ready we just left them to one side and used the tea and pearls already on the shop floor.

Our teacher was so nice and friendly! The whole experience was great, we learned a lot and got to try so many amazing bubble teas! And great location because we could stroll around Camden afterwards. Highly recommend

Bubble Tea Barista Experience review by Gretchen Trusted - London

Gregiana Augustin May 2023


Teacher was very friendly and informative. Learned a lot about Yi fang’s process and how long it takes to make the teas, tapioca pearls, sago and golden jelly.

I usually don’t order the milk teas but made a chocolate mudflip, tapioca milk tea and pineapple aloe yakult tea. I only had two, the third was for my sister in law. The chocolate mudflip and pineapple aloe yakult tea were pretty good.

Niece enjoyed herself and we both had a great time!

Samantha Karim May 2023


The class was very interesting to learn about the history of the bubble tea but it was a bit hard to understand the girl leading the class as she had a strong accent. More time making the drinks would have been good. Overall it was good and my daughter enjoyed it.

Meliz Mehmet May 2023

Great teacher, value for money and learnt a lot.

Overall a really good experience and would recommend to anyone that loves bubble tea.

Irene Ting May 2023


Booked a private class for a family members birthday. They decorated the window with the birthday banner, I thought that was very sweet of them.
The teacher is knowledgable and friendly and the class is held in the kitchen at the back where she showed us sample of how to make the tapioca pearls etc.
The last part of the class was to make our own bubble teas of our choosing according to their menu of course. We took turns and it was thoroughly enjoyable. By the time we get to make our bubble teas at the front of the shop, it was time for them to close the retail trade so it makes it even more private for us to take our time and play around.
We love Yi Fang as a brand and we regularly buy their bubble teas from different branches when we are out in town, so to get the opportunity to make it ourselves is special.
Most importantly, the birthday girl had a great time doing this class.

Nikita Yuzbashev Apr 2023


We loved the master class! The teacher was great, great value for money too as we learned a lot of things and got to make and take 6 drinks home. Thank you so much!

Anna Chan Apr 2023


Our teacher was very patient with us and was able to support us through all the steps of making the tea. She explained about the tea, process, and helped us create our bubbleteas. The venue was quite small for 6 people, but manageable.
Yes, we enjoyed the tea and is what you'd expect from Yi Fang. Great value for money as you make 3 bubble teas. We needed more time as there were more of us. It would be better to advertise/be made aware before the booking as we'd make plans straight after the class. Would 100% recommend this experience!

Zsofi Sneider Apr 2023


Great workshop, yummy bubble teas, Sophia was a great instructor and overall we had a lovely experience

Steven Tan Apr 2023

This bubble tea class was a lovely evening that exceeded expectations. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and we learned a few things about tea! Class started with a tea tasting / history followed by cooking some ingredients in the back, then using our prepared ingredients to make bubble tea. Certainly recommend for a unique activity!

Kevin Knowles Feb 2023


Had a fantastic bubble tea experience yesterday with my family. The owner ran the class and was incredibly knowledgeable about all the ingredients that make up the Yi Fang recipe. We learned so much about the high quality ingredients that go into their premium product which I had never known before. It was very hands on and we then made 3 bubble teas to take home. Was great fun!

A wonderful and very informative experience. Our hosts were super friendly and engaging. First they ran us through the history of bubble tea and the brand yifang followed by a tasting of various ingredients and teas. Then we proceeded to the kitchen where we learned how cook fresh tapioca and other toppings ad well as different tea. At the last stage we made 3 delicious drinks each which we got to bring home with us. It was one of the best value for money and comprehensive class I’ve taken so far. Well done Yifang Camden on creating such fun experience

Sofiya Craig Feb 2023


Amazing venue! Amazing experience. Loads of fun. Good value for money. Supercool teacher. And best of all, now I know how to make bubble tea! Recommending it to all my friends.

Stephanie Lee Jan 2023


I took my daughter and her friends for her birthday and we had such a lovely time. What I really liked about this class was that it was very hands on and engaging. And the bubble tea flavours we made were yummy. Now I understand why my daughter loves bubble tea so much and now I’ve also become a fan. Teacher was great and very patient with us, even though we were a big group. Great value for money.

Jessica Khan Jan 2023


I went with a friend of mine and both of us just loved it It was such an amazing and fun experience, we learned how to make different types of tea’s, tapioca’s, jelly, and learned how to make 3 different bubble tea’s. The teacher was super friendly and so was the staff working in the store. I’m definitely gonna go back with my other friends.

Ben Altman Jan 2023


A really great and interesting experience. Makes you appreciate the complexity of making bubble tea. Highly recommended.

Leanne Barrett Jan 2023


A friend and I went to Yi Fang for a bubble tea barista experience which we booked through Class Bento. I cannot recommend enough! The team are so friendly and attentive, Zahra was our host and she had heaps of knowledge and ensured we really got stuck in. There's quite a few bubble tea making classes out there and this was such good value for money. You start the session learning about bubble tea and then get stuck in and have the chance to make tapioca and some tea. We then made our own bubble tea to take home. All in all a great time and would highly recommend!
