*They’re now One1ea Taiwanese Cafe & Tea House
From fried chicken to bubble tea, what have made Vivi Bubble Tea different from others in town.
To experience Taiwanese street food from US capital area-DMV, we should spend a trip to Vivi Bubble Tea, located inside Eden Center-Falls Church, VA and in Rockville, MD. Taiwan is well-known for their must-have cups of sweet, creamy, chewy refreshment, which are called “bubble tea.” Not only in Taiwan, but also trending all over Asia, Europe and North America.
Bubble Tea
Opened from 2017 in Falls Church and recently in Rockville, MD, most of their customers are young Asian, but more and more American are finding their ways to the shop to try this trending refreshment. There are versions with different milks and various teas, but the classic milk tea still satisfies.

Popcorn Chicken
Beside bubble tea, Vivi Bubble Tea has popcorn chicken which is served with different flavors like basil, garlic, pepper and salt, curry and spicy. The owner cuts and marinates, fries them freshly everyday. Popcorn chicken comes out fresh, hot and flavorful. The batter is just right, not a lot, not a little. But it is insane how they can make it so tender on the inside. You can find popcorn-style chicken as well as full size cutlets.
Fries with plum powder
The owner mentioned that many of her customers asked for plum powder which is very popular back in the country. They put it on sweet potato fries and make the fries different comparison to what we have here in America.
Eco Friendly Plan
There is one thing make Vivi Bubble Tea DMV unique is expanding reusable plan to their customers including reusable stainless steel straws and reusable cup holders. This helps reducing the amount of single-use plastic straws and plastic bags. They hope this plan could at least change people’s behavior of using plastic bag and could help solve the plastic pollution crisis.
