If you’ve ever walked around New Brighton craving a boba drink or a refreshing bubble tea, you’ve probably noticed something: it’s hard to find. Search results don’t always show what’s actually nearby, and many people assume the area simply doesn’t have boba at all.
That’s why a lot of customers are surprised when they discover that Yak & Fern, right here at 78 Brighton Mall, serves a range of boba and bubble-tea drinks.
So if you’ve been hunting for something cold, chewy, and satisfying — you’re not imagining things. It really has been difficult to find, until now.
Why People Miss Us in Search Results?
Even though we serve boba every day, people often tell us the same thing:
“I didn’t know you had bubble tea!”
The truth is simple: New Brighton doesn’t have many places offering these kinds of drinks, so search engines don’t always connect the right terms with the right locations. Different people search for different things — some call it boba, some bubble tea, some milk tea — and Google sometimes assumes there are no results here.
This blog gives search engines a clearer picture, and it gives locals an easy place to confirm that yes, you can get boba in New Brighton.
