Your favorite boba or bubble tea shops may soon run out of their beloved chewy tapioca balls, as shipping containers from Asia remain stuck in West Coast ports, The San Francisco Chronicle reports.

As an alternative, boba lovers should look to add other toppings like grass jelly, puddings, or cheese foam.
