Always a good go-to boba spot. And the Bahn Mi's are good too! We love their boba and happy it's close by Lake Merritt and in our neighborhood. Their points also help out a lot to get that free 10th drink!

I'm obsessed with this place. I've ordered their jasmine milk tea with boba at 25% sweetness twice and it's high-quality tea. I've also had their Vietnamese egg coffee and it's so sweet and creamy! The service is efficient and friendly. The ambience is cute. I wished I lived closer.

I really love their Vietnamese egg coffee. So creamy and so good. A must-try for any coffee enthusiast looking to experience something truly exceptional. Besides the egg coffee, all the other options also looked so interesting! The popcorn chicken is so yummy. A must try for spot in the bay!

Tried their egg coffee. Thumbs up. But those with diabetes, be careful. The drink is like drinking a flan: thick, rich, and sweet.Wanted to try the Bánh Mì, but at $8.50, too rich for my budget.
When I saw in the menu the grape cloud, I ordered it right away. It was creamy, hint of jasmine green tea and of course there was some fresh chopped grapes in the bottom of the drink. It was so good, creamy and lots of flavor. I’ll be back again to try other drinks.

I ordered a bahn mi for pickup. I double-parked but I saw two parking enforcement cars ticket other double-parked cars on a nearby street. I knew they would busy for a few minutes.The place is very clean and the person that helped me was friendly.While I admiyt I have not yet tried Banh Mi Ba Le yet due to their short hours and long lines, this was the best bahn mi I've had in Oakland so far. I will be going back and have already told friends about it. Some already were aware because of the boba but now know about the bahn mi sandwiches.

This place is conveniently located near other food places, so you can get a little of other things around the area and get a drink here or just get a full meal there to-go since this isn't really a sit-down place to eat. It is more of a place to wait for your food and drinks to be ready before going since there aren't any tables to enjoy your food and hang out. For ordering, you can order at the counter or at a kiosk or online. We got the Matcha Tornado and the Dark Roast Oolong Milk Tea, which came out at a decent time. The Matcha Tornado was a nice amount of Matcha that wasn't like other places where they have it very watered down. This was a decent amount where you can tell that it is Matcha and aren't guessing what flavor it is. It also had a Cream swirled on the sides of the cup and Oreo bits blended it, which went well with the drink and gave it a little more texture. Not your traditional Boba, but still a decent one that I would have again.The Dark Roast Oolong Milk Tea had a nice strong flavor unlike some places that have it very watered down. Unlike some drinks, this boba isn't very sweet and is more on the mellow side. This drink would go well with Grass Jelly that I will get next time when we go there.Overall good quality Boba compared to other places. Definitely coming back again.

I love their coconut house coffee!! Reminds me of the coconut coffee I had in Vietnam. Very excited to see they have egg coffee as well (which I will have to try next time)

I've been on the hunt for a legit Vietnamese egg coffee since moving out of SJ and Boba Binge has it! Nestled in Oakland Chinatown, this small boba shop is slinging out boba drinks and banh mi sandwiches. Their egg coffee is deliciously sweet, creamy, strong, and generously topped with the whipped egg and condensed milk mixture. I had a grilled pork banh mi as well which was decent. The pork could've been more tender and flavorful, but the other components of the sandwich made it good overall.Came here late in the afternoon on a Saturday and I did have to do the usual loop around the block to find street parking. Ordering can be done at the kiosk tablet or at the register with the staff. Staff is friendly and makes sure orders are correct before handing off.
