Dew

Provo has just welcomed a new next-to-campus eatery that is well worth a visit, even if you’re not a Cougar. Dew specializes in Vietnamese sandwiches and boba drinks. It’s everything a student hangout should be—cheap, delicious, and surprisingly healthy.
We ordered the Lemongrass Pork Sandwich (a whopping $3.49) and kumquat boba drink. Verdict: delicious. The lightly pickled carrots and cucumbers were refreshing, and the thinly-sliced pork and special sauce on a baguette made for a light, filling and crave-able sandwich.
We’re fans of boba drinks, and the variety of flavors at Dew guarantee we’ll be back soon. The tart kumquat was a nice contrast with the sweet tapioca pearls. And if you have room, Dew has a variety of tempting desserts ranging from fruit tarts and cheesecake to special Utah Heritage Jello creations. Plus, you gotta love a restaurant with a blog: www.dewprovo.com.

I love Boba drinks and am glad to see them back in Provo. they had them at the Breakroom near Cafe Rio, but it didn’t last long.
This place looks like it will last. I shall head over soon.
By the way, I went to So Cupcake for my birthday and loved it! I’ve been meaning to go forever, since it was on YHO! It was wonderful, especially the peach flavor.
