“It’s really hard to have a bad day when you’re drinking a bubble tea,” -Nicole Cornett, Founder Billie Gold Bubble Tea
Inspired by the summer adventures of Nicole’s 2018 family vacation, a seven-thousand-mile journey out west, her dream for the Billie Gold Bubble Tea Food Truck cracked wide open. On October 4th, 2018 Billie Gold, weighing in at 5,600 pounds and 266" long, made her debut into the world at the Levitt Pavilion in Dayton, OH. Nicole's dream became reality.
If you ask Nicole, “Why bubble tea?”
Her joyous response expresses a deep affinity for the uniquely made dessert drink.
“It’s impossible for me to be unhappy when I’m having bubble tea, so I basically want it every day. When I travel to a new city, the first thing I do is search for a vegan restaurant, the second is for a bubble tea cafe. I just know there are people in Dayton who love bubble tea as much as I do!”
For Nicole, it’s also about bringing her culture into Billie Gold. “Chinese culture revolves around feeding people.” She finds so much joy in providing “happiness in a cup” with Billie's tasty drinks and is thrilled to be Dayton’s first ‘Baroness of Bubbles’.
Billie Gold is not only the first, full-service bubble tea food truck game in town, she's also a champion of small-business collaboration in her community.
As established small-business owners Nicole and her husband Britton understand the value of connecting with fellow businesses. For example, one of Billie’s signature drinks features cold brew from Dayton's favorite, Dogma, and often features vegan treats from the beloved Chef Cookie!
You'll find her at a variety of community events throughout the year. When you see her around town, come and build your own bubble tea by combining a variety of options, OR try one of Billie's signature drinks– Nicole’s favorite is the “Rose Gold."
Nicole and Britton also own Cloak + Dagger Tattoo Studio in Dayton, OH. Their ambition, artistic minds, and willingness to follow their dreams serve the Dayton area well.
