Lactose-free bubble tea
All lactose-intolerant folk will know the feeling of drinking a good cup of milk tea, only to regret it shortly after slurping it down to the last boba pearl. Thankfully, Au Bon Pain Thailand has recently launched a range of lactose-free bubble teas for customers to enjoy.
Flavours include Brown Sugar Boba and Boba Earl Grey, which use lactose-free milk from Meiji:
BBT flavours to try at Au Bon Pain
Brown Sugar Boba
This is a flavour that is all the rage these days, and Au Bon Pain’s Brown Sugar Boba (฿145) is something lactose-intolerant sweet-tooths don’t have to miss out on. It comes with chewy boba and jelly, and is sweetened by a generous drizzle of brown sugar sauce. Plus, it comes topped with milk foam and crunchy honeycombs for added texture.
The drink is really creamy, and the pearls have the right amount of bite without being too sticky. However, this can be quite sweet, so anyone on a sugar-controlled diet, take note!
Boba Earl Grey
If you’re looking for something less sweet, opt for Boba Earl Grey (฿135). The toppings are the same, but with brown sugar being swapped out for a fragrant Earl Grey tea. I preferred this as it wasn’t too overwhelming on my palate.
Aside from milk drinks, Au Bon Pain also offers a refreshing Lychee Rose Brew Tea (฿135). There are lychee chunks that add a natural sweetness to the drink, great to cool down with on a hot and humid day.

Au Bon Pain is having a promotion on its Pastrami Spicy Sriracha Sandwich (฿189), which you can add to your drink order. This meal is quite hearty, with a 17-grain bagel bun, smoked ham, and a generous dose of spicy Thai Sriracha sauce. The sandwich also comes with Paris Ham (฿169) and is available at all branches till 31 August 2019.
