Disappointed, it literally tasted like water mixed with powdered flavoring, the taro boba was those weird jelly type that didn't taste like taro. I asked for no sugar but the drink was still very sweet. Not worth the price and drive. There is no atmosphere since they blocked out the store and the lady hands you cash money in a cup for change. Service is basically non existent since it behind the shield. Not recommended

I really enjoy coming here in the weekends and treating myself to some milktea. The service is great! The girl who usually takes my order is very friendly and the wait time is not long at all.

Came here on a Friday afternoon after I picked up the boys. Boys wanted some ice cream on a hot day and I had a craving for some boba. We ordered through the window. Kids got some Thai tea ice cream and I ordered boba. Everything came out very quickly. The staff here is very nice and courteous. If you guys are around the area and need something sweet please come by here and try them out

The average star review should be higher than 4. This is easily a 5 star location. The product quality is that of some high end place. I know the dine in area is closed off but it's still worth stopping by to get something to go. I'm not going to say what I get cause I don't ever want it to sell out. It's a slushie but I won't say which flavor. The service is always great. The wait time is reasonable. They fix products with intention. They pay attention. The area is starting to get sketchy though with the car window break-ins; so, be aware of your surroundings if you go in a car. The car break-ins have nothing to do with the business itself, I just wanted to alert y'all.

All these people going to a gelato cafe and complaining about their tea are trash. This place has been breaking their backs for decades now and deserve the respect they you need to give them. You can't even make gelato first off and it's not easy. Dont review this place about service or your stupid pearl teas people, get the GELATO!!! I've spent time with the owner and they gave me perks and drinks that aren't on the menu and are the sweetest peopLe you'll ever meet. Their gelato is the best in Oakland and that's a conservative statement. I give them 10 stars if I could. Excellent stuff guys!

Super cute tons of customization options and the menu is really clear what you're getting! The staff member was so nice and even made my cup match my outfit what a treat

I’ve liked my milk teas, but most importantly service is outstanding! When it’s slow, my drink is served in a few minutes, and the bobarista is very polite. Unmatched!
The tea was super sweet and did not have nearly enough tea (mostly milk and foam). The pearls themselves were decent.

We stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon and there was no line. When we first stepped inside the store it felt very dusty and not clean. Since we were there, we orders a classic milk tea with less ice. The first sip, the boba was not chewy and the drink tasted like it was watered down. There were also not much boba for the size of the drink.There is also extra charge for paying with card vs paying with cash.

The best boba milk tea and the best avocado smoothies I've had. Ice cream (gelato) is good too, I've been told.They have it boarded up since the riots and kept it boarded up during Covid, but you can order at the door. Even though the state of emergency is officially over for Covid, they still have the best touch-free transaction I've seen anywhere.If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

My ginger milk tea was really watered down ?
Really great boba!!
