Very tasty boba, well made with great portions.The employees were very nice. Not very much sitting or standing room available. Will have to sit outside somewhere around the public seating closer to parking area. You will likely need to order at the kiosk that does not take cash.

Aída pls.

Very original boba. The matcha with strawberry is tremendous. Maybe a little expensive for what it is, but without a doubt a good place.

One of my favorite boba places that my sister in law brought us to when visiting her in Northern California. I can't remember which location, since there are so many up here, but I'll write a review here for the general Boba Guys drinks. I love love the matcha strawberry. They must have been one of the first boba chains to introduce this drink to the US, but I could be wrong. My first time trying that, it was so perfectly refreshing with the tea and fruit combo - and it wasn't too sweet! Their boba is very QQ also. I bought their black tea leaves and jasmine tea leaves, and make tea at home with them. I love how fragrant their jasmine tea leaves are and can't wait to buy more the next time I visit Northern California!

Had to come here because I was violently craving boba… and Boba Guys happened to be really close to where I was working, so I figured, WHY NOT?!I went 25 minutes before they closed their doors for the day… and honestly they were not disappointing at all. I had opted to try some of their special drinks because I’ve already tried some of their regular drinks many times at their other locations… and I wanted something a little bit more sesame-y. Thankfully, the Black Sesame Milk Tea with boba was the good go-to.The boba was really chewy, and I really liked how much black sesame they steeped… I was thoroughly impressed by how much they put honestly. I had opted for less sweet and less ice, and it still came out a little watery — which was what I wasn’t hoping but oh well, it happens sometimes.I’d definitely come here later in the evening and not in the afternoon because it tends to get more busy and out of the door on afternoons because of all the Paly/Stanford traffic…. So I’d look out for that.Parking: It was somehow difficult to find parking to be honest… like I wish people would learn how to park properly!

Strawberry matcha was just okay. Nothing much special. Service was good though; gave us a cup of water for free.

I'm a sucker for their jasmine milk tea with boba, although miss their earl grey very dearly. Their quality doesn't disappoint, lucky for me I don't live nearby otherwise I'd come every week.

(Overall: 82% | B) - I recently revisited Boba Guys after the hype died down and I think its a pretty competitive option now -- the order latency is reasonable and the drinks are more competitively priced than previously. I had their Lychee Tea Fresca this time, which tastes a bit artificial unlike their strawberry tea fresca, but is nevertheless an acceptable quality. The storefront is also a pleasant area to hangout immediately outside.IG: @amei.eats

Tried the boba tea here a couple times. They're okay. I always choose the Less Sweet option because regular is a little too sweet for my taste. The Less Sweet option made my boba taste a little bit bitter.The staff are absolutely polite and helpful if you have any questions about their menu and products. They do get quite a bit busy, especially at the end of the day towards the weekend. The shop can get a little bit crowded during the busy times, but the staff will step out to hand you your boba tea if you decide to wait right outside the shop door.

Had the mango and berry hibiscus tea with boba, chia and aloe. It was fun. Do try if you are around. Self order at the kiosk and the tea is made fresh to order.
