The $1.9M 'Boba Tea Mansion' in Michigan Is Going Viral—and You Have to See the Roof
A property in Kalamazoo, Michigan has been garnering a lot of attention from a popular Facebook page. Listed for $1.9 million in Kalamazoo, this three bedroom bubble house is quite unique. It's reminiscent of Boba (or buns) on the outside and is equally chic on the inside. It gained traction from Zillow Gone Wild, with commenters comparing it to baked goods, boba, and even an egg carton. Here's a few different takes on the property below. 'Looks like a batch of cinnamon buns!' one said. 'Nothing Bundt House', said another person. 'If Kalamazoo had a tornado, would this house become scrambled eggs?' a commenter noted. 'Looks like a mushroom colony,' one added. About the Property The 'Boba Tea' mansion's exterior The property boasts an exterior that is as interesting as its origins. Listing agent Fred Taber of Jaqua Realtors told The Post about its creation. It fits right in with Kalamazoo with its impressive line of modernist residences. It does come as a shock, however, as a number of properties have famous architects behind them. These include names like Frank Lloyd Wright and Norman Carver Jr. 'What makes this [property] even better is this is not designed by any famous architect, or even remotely well-known architect,' he said. Instead, the spherical home was designed by an orthodontist named Dr. Luther Bruce. Of course, he had some help from a friend who also worked as an architect. The 'Boba Tea' mansion's interior In addition, the home's 1.9 million listing advertises 'privacy, energy efficiency, and timeless style'. It has interiors made with plaster, stone, and wood spanning more than 6,000 square feet. The home is also seen as somewhat of a local celebrity despite its wooded location. Passersby can feel free to take a glimpse as desired. 'People can see it on the road, and because it's so unique, they get a lot of people just pulling up in the driveway to take pictures,' said Taber. So far, the home's garnered local nicknames ranging from 'the boba tea house' to 'the onion house' depending on who you ask, he added. The current owners took up residence in 1991. Ever since, it has experienced extensive renovations inside and out. Noteworthy upgrades included additional land, new decks, and a special metal roof to protect the cement and foam facade. Taber also shared that the roof was custom-made in Texas, costing the owners more than $400,000. The roughly 1,000 square-foot domes make for 'a wonderful flow' through the home. The dome at the center of the cluster is entirely occupied by the massive primary bedroom. Despite its lofty ceilings, the home also sports unique isolation and geothermal heating. This helps it stay warm and cozy all year-round. The mansion's kitchen area Meanwhile, its listing also mentions that it has an eat-in kitchen, ceiling fans, insulation windows, and stone floors. All things considered, the home has a great balance with an eye-catching exterior and functional yet stylish interior. 'This Monolithic Dome gem designed by Dr. Luther Bruce is a true one-of-a-kind living experience that offers an open, light-filled interior, soaring ceilings, and a very distinctive aesthetic'.

SCRF's popular cookery corner bubbles with joy… and Boba
Always attuned to what excites and inspires young hearts The 16th edition of the Sharjah Children's Reading Festival (SCRF 2025) - always attuned to what excites and inspires young hearts - features this popular drink in one of its much-loved cookery workshops. Children aged 12 and above are invited to learn not just the craft, but the sheer delight of brewing their own Boba Tea. Boba Tea On Wednesday, the session opened with Aurora Sitjar, the workshop facilitator from Skilldeer, calling out, 'Who has heard of Boba Tea?' A chorus of eager voices replied: 'Us!' She followed up with, 'Who likes Boba Tea?' - and the response was even louder, underscoring the drink's extraordinary popularity with the festival's young audience. For the uninitiated, Boba - black, glistening tapioca pearls made from cassava root - are the soul of this beverage. During the workshop, children learned to prepare Boba using dried pearls, carefully simmered until translucent and chewy. Meanwhile, the young participants were handed chocolate syrup to drizzle along the insides of their cups, transforming a simple drink into an edible work of art. Once the pearls were ready, the children faced a delicious dilemma: opt for a classic milk tea, or the fresher, fruitier Boba juice? Twelve-year-old Hezza Zayan was already planning her Boba comeback. 'I love Boba Tea, but we don't go out as often as I'd like to have it. Now that I know how to make it, I'll give it a go at home too, and I'll be able to have it as often as I want,' she said, her eyes alight with newfound culinary confidence. Workshops like these go beyond recipes - they equip children with life skills, nurture creativity, and foster independence, all under the wider banner of SCRF's commitment to holistic learning. This year, the SCRF cookery programme features workshops of recipes from around the world and homemade ice creams to healthy options such as fruit and veggie monsters and popcorn mixes. Running from April 23 to May 4 at Expo Centre Sharjah, SCRF is a celebration not just of reading, but of curiosity in all its forms. Organised by the Sharjah Book Authority (SBA), the event's rich programme features over 600 interactive workshops, live performances, and hands-on activities. SCRF 2025 invites families to 'Dive into Books', and discover a world where stories leap off the page into every corner of life For more information on this free-to-attend event, visit
