Cons:

"However, tonight was horrendous, the young boy was very rude and rolled his eyes at me and my friends order."
"The only thing I didn't like was seating. It was very uncomfortable for me specially because I have an injury on my knee."
"The lady at the shop was really unfriendly, no smile and no greeting, no help with the large menu."
"But the store is too narrow and a few staff on there."
"Was slightly disappointed as I was excited to visit the shop due to marketing via Tik Tok but the atmosphere was quite awkward and tense."
Bubble Tea Quality
Pros:
"I've ordered from Tempo Tea bar quite a few times online, and honestly, one of the best bubble teas I've ever had."
"It is a mesmerising colour and so refreshing."
"Their bubble tea is delicious, have a great variety of snacks."
"The drinks here are really refreshing and not overly sweet."
"Delicious bubble tea, both popping and chewy tapioca. My personal favourite is the Passionfruit tea with the lychee popping boba!"
"The bubble tea is incredible!"
"THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. This was some of the best fruit bubble tea we've had."
Cons:
"The drink tasted so artificial and the lychee popping balls are tasteless."
"the bobas tasted like something toxic. Tar-like, not chewy at all and was not brown sugar tasting either."
"Normal milk tea with tapioca was disappointing. Tapioca was not fresh and chewy and felt like chewing tough plastic, and no real tea taste."
"Some of the worst milk tea I’ve ever had. It was watery, had a full layer of unmixed sugar at the bottom, and you could barely taste the tea flavor."
"In addition to the tapioca not being as great as I have tried. (inconsistent, some had a weird texture)"
"I don’t know why this shop has so many good reviews, but honestly, the taro milk tea is not what I expected."
"Was really disappointed by this as 3 drinks were wasted due to us not liking them."
Community and Sustainability
Pros:
"I also love their connection to the community & commitment to sustainability."
"Since I posted this, I’ve gotten to know the Tempo brand So much more! I always loved their focus on inclusivity and sustainability."
"They also work really hard to give back to the Glasgow community."
"With support for local artists and a constant push to make their tea as sustainable as possible Tempo are genuinely lovely shops to be in."
"Also love all the sustainable options!"
"They value being environmentally friendly and this is reflected in their products."
"Love Love Love that they do all they can to reduce their footprint and give us options to do our part."
Cons:
"I do wish these were available on the website to purchase from home (I have looked and can't find them but please correct me if I'm wrong!) especially as the shop is closing."
"As a zero waster I try to limited my plastic use as much as possible and I can’t say how happy I am to finally have a boba tea shop that does reusable bottles!"
"We assumed that we could order flavours we liked but instead were told that because we had a Groupon that we could only have the pre-made flavour of the day."
"It will be great to have better quality seating and a wider space."
