Monterey Park, Calif. - Break out the champagne - $1.50 boba has been located! More importantly, it's GOOD $1.50 boba. Get your own cheapie fix at King Express Tea Cafe, at the corner of Atlantic and Emerson.

Disclaimer: To be clear, I'm not saying this is Verde-caliber boba (which, to date, is still my favorite boba on American soil. I think.). But it's a good milk tea paired with decent tapioca, at a very attractive price. I am quite pleased.
