Have you seen a bubble tea shop?

It's basically a cafe. It prepares drinks to order. Best tagging I've
seen around me is amenity=cafe + cuisine=bubble_tea

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Acuisine%3Dbubble_tea -
per https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/cuisine=bubble_tea it's not
very common but for example iD presets have amenity=cafe +
cuisine=bubble_tea for Chatime
https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/blob/c0b65aacf04be6753f6e7e82007399bee1e65fdc/brands/amenity/cafe.json#L314-L329
as well as Gong Cha, Sharetea, and a few others.

I would suggest using an amenity tag rather than a shop tag since it's
much more like a cafe or a fast food place than a store.

But usually they do not. Example picture on
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dbeverages looks exactly
what I would consider a German "beverage shop" (Getränkemarkt) - it
sells already prepared and packaged drinks in bottles, cans, or jugs,
in a supermarket style where customers pick up their selection and
bring it to a cashier.

In a bubble tea place you place an order and it is prepared and served to you.

If a pharmacy is not a shop in OSM, neither should a bubble tea place.
