This shop has all the boba shop requirements: delish drinks, good service and an Instagram-worthy super cute pink wall! I've only tried a few drinks because their signature boba milk tea (I think it's like a tiger milk tea), which comes with stir-fried boba, is so good that I have to get it every time I go and I've been sticking to that ever since. You order at a self-service kiosk and the employees will let you know when your drink is ready. The only downfall of this place is that it's expensive! After tip, my drink came out to $8 on my last visit a few weeks ago. For a guilty pleasure, I come here every once in a while but most of the time I stick to other shops' budget-friendly drinks. One nice addition is Bober's proximity to some cool local shops like a grilled cheese restaurant and a few other restaurants. Worth a try!

Quick service, but the milk tea tasted really watered down. I brought the drink back for them to fix, but it was still really watered down. Not sure if it was an off day, but my drink did not taste like other Bober Tea locations.

The location is great. It's right in the handle district near plenty of other restaurants and in between apartments. There is mainly street parking available but i do believe I saw a parking structure. The service was speedy. Our boba came out in under a minute. Our cashier was friendly and attended to us in an efficient manner. The vibes are great. Banger music plays and they have a nice wall to take Instagramable pictures at. Quotes line the walls. Not sure if they have a bathroom though. The prices are average. I'd say you can walk out of here for about $15 for two people making this a ($$) for me since you're just getting dessert drinks. We really liked how they had a cup that had a mystery plushie in it. The flavor is about average for what you'd expect from a boba establishment. Its not groundbreaking flavor but it's still good. I actually liked my cookies and cream drink but my wife did not. I'd say the flavors can be a hit or a miss. Bottom line/TLDR: solid boba spot.

Not much to say. Pretty compact interior and most of the drinks will satisfy you. Friendly front desk.

Smaller tea place but definitely a good service and drinks were still of that great tasting.

Did 0% Chizu Black Tea, baristas made a mistake without chizu, after fixing it, the cheese was just sprinkled on, they were cheap with the cheese, drinks came out bland, only probably 5% of the normal cheese amount. Normally love bober tea as we’re from the bay, bober tea is also usually very viet owned but tastes here were sort of off. One top of that bathroom was employees only, uncommon unlike other locations (my grandma desperately needed to use the restroom). Also gave off mean girl vibes. Baristas also said sorry quite passive aggressively among me just politely telling them their mistake, when the tea came back it seems it was diluted, now at dark as it came out, tea was diluted as well, and again with just a minimal amount of cheese. 3/10/24

The signature milk tea was good, the pink haze was advertised as a Vietnamese coffee but it just tasted like a regular latte

Pretty cute inside (good for photo opportunities) but there's no tables or seating. Boba was good quality and girl at the front was really nice. Overall, good boba but not the place to go if you want someplace to work or meet others
The boba was very hard and chewy with no flavor to it almost like if they had ran out and quickly prepared some that wasn't upto par.

I was visiting a friend in Sacramento & decided to grab some boba before I left. I didn't feel like the fruit tea really stood out to me and was just ok. The interior is nice if you want to take photos for social media. Other than that, I don't think I would be going out of my way for boba here.

The inside was beautiful very nice vibe. The service was quick. I ordered a brown sugar oolong milk tea. I previously had this drink at other tea places and it was good. For some reason I could barely taste the oolong tea. It had a very weird taste. The picture looks like I liked it, but I poured out the ice and half a cup of tea was left.

Last night was my very first time at this bober location in midtown. I ordered a classic Milk Tea and a Thai Tea. Very good! Classic milk tea was too sweet even with 50% sugar they had no problem fixing my drink.The spot is very nice instagram worthy. Sadly no seating other than a sofa or the dirty swings. Customer service; very nice girl in front she guided me through the menu and answered all questions and offered to take a picture of me on the swings. The girl in the back was also nice she brought out drinks even helped girl in front announce drinks.Overall experience 8/10 they could have more sitting drinks are too sweet. But also very welcoming and nice and warm in there. CLEAN THOSE SWINGS!!!!
