Amber Querubin has years of experience making boba tea drinks, but she isn’t making so many anymore as a robot is serving up the beverages at her current job on the Strip.
Querubin leaves the actual making of the drinks to Adam — a large robot with two arms that has the capabilities to make different combinations of boba tea.
“When people come up, I just go, ‘Here is Adam, the very first robotic boba barista, and here are our drinks, he makes everything here,’” said Querubin, who serves as the lead barista at Cloutea, a new boba tea shop. “It is actually still really fun to watch out and make all the drinks. It’s reminding me of when I used to work at boba shops and made the drinks and I’m like, ‘Aw, he’s just learning.’”
