Tier Achieved:
Good food, hygiene's had some notes. Probably fine.
The food's genuinely great and the hygiene issues are "Improvement Necessary" — not catastrophic. Worth a punt if you're not a germaphobe.
Papaw Bristol is a bubble tea joint that’s serving up some delicious drinks, but let’s not talk about hygiene too much. The milk tea, especially the original, gets rave reviews, and the staff, particularly Megan and Ting, evidently know how to charm customers. But with a hygiene score of 2, it’s a bit like going to a party where the snacks are great, but you're not sure about the cleanliness of the kitchen. So, enjoy the boba, but maybe don’t think too hard about the behind-the-scenes.
"This milk tea tastes very good."
"Milk Tea Classic and Mango So Yummy — both are excellent!"
"Best bubble tea in Bristol (with fresh taro!)"
