Taiwan’s bubble tea culture is not only widespread but also frequently features surprisingly innovative ideas. “Babo Arms,” located in Taipei’s Dongcheng District, has created the world’s first automated tea drink shop. Except for the tapioca pearls, which are handmade on-site, all other steps are completed by intelligent robotic arms. Most netizens have given positive reviews, saying the pearls are chewy and Q-textured.

The shop’s tapioca pearls are handmade, offering a variety of unique flavors including strawberry, sesame, Sichuan-style, and banana. Among them, the sea salt cheese caramel tapioca pearl milk tea is highly recommended by many netizens as a must-try bubble tea.
Babo Arms not only automates beverage production, but also the ordering and payment processes, including an automated ordering machine that allows customization of sweetness and ice levels, and an automated payment function that supports LINE Pay. The store operates with minimal staff, and the business aims for full automation in the future. It’s not only highly topical but also very futuristic.
