“When am pm coffee won't do and you only want quality coffee then this spot will satisfy your caffeine urge“

“Tried Bobacraft Cafe for the first time today — came for the boba, ended up blown away by the food.

Got the Taiwanese popcorn chicken bento and tofu pudding dessert. The popcorn chicken was crispy, seasoned exactly the way it should be — you know the kind if you’ve had it from a night market stall. Not toned down, not over-sauced, just right. The tofu pudding was smooth and comforting in that quiet, classic way that’s hard to explain if you haven’t grown up with it.

Honestly didn’t expect the flavors to feel this close to what I remember from Taiwan. It’s the kind of food that makes you a little nostalgic without trying too hard.

The one thing that stood out to me was the interior visuals — they don’t quite match the personality of the food yet. The flavors have a real identity, a genuine Taiwanese street snack soul, but the posters and branding inside the shop haven’t caught up. I actually put together a few poster redesigns during my meal to share with them — felt like a small way to give back after food that good. Hope they find it useful.“

“We ordered: Peach Typhoon, Mango Pomelo Sago, Basil Seed Wintermelon Calamansi Tea, Black Sesame Midnight.

Our first time here. A lot of foot traffic coming and going. Everything tasted wonderful, the right amount of tea flavor and sweetness in every drink. So many different drinks to choose from, will definitely come back to try more.“

“I liked the fresh boba made from scratch on-site. Although the menu is small, if you’re looking for good brown sugar boba, this is the spot. I got a matcha oolong with less ice and 75% sugar. A nice surprise there wasn’t an extra price for no ice like how Half and Half does.“

“We went here last Sunday and saw that they had combos. Where when you buy a bowl, you get a free drink. It was a good deal. So we bought one noodles and one pork chop bowl. The Pork Chop Bowl rocks, they cut the bones out. But the noodles were cold, I did not like it at all. thats why its a 4 star not 5 stars.“

“Friendly service... good for everyone’s and good taste drink. Love boba time drinks“

“Delicious ube boba! I ordered the Purple Yam Fresh Milk with oat milk, 25% sugar, and boba.

Customer service was also good! My husband didn’t know what to order, and the server helped him choose something that hit the spot.“

“So I made a small oops by ordering from the Alhambra store instead of Monterey Park. I had to make a quick trip to pick up in Alhambra. I was 20+ minutes after my pick up time but my drink was still icy, cold and delicious. I didn't think matcha and oatmilk would work so well together. That with the creme brulee in the frostie was such a treat. I'll definitely order this again and hopefully to the right location next time. You should too... if you enjoy matcha.

In my defense, Alhambra is the preferred store but had an errand closer to Monterey Park and my mind was on default 😬“

“The best popcorn chicken in this area and the best boba milk tea for a decent price. It has been my regular over 10 years!! And shout out to shifu and fangjie(the owners) thank you for serving the neighborhood for so long and the best food as always.“

“Heard a lot about their tea so went to try it out. Tried the taro fresh milk, dong ding oolong and lemon tart. They were all good. The taro fresh milk came with actual taro and taro boba and was my mom’s favorite. My dad enjoyed the dong ding oolong as it wasn’t too sweet and had a smokey flavor. I really enjoyed the lemon tart but the “perfect sugar” level was a little too sweet for me, would try a little less sugar next time. Went on a weekday to avoid any crowds. At the time of my visit, it only had one lost to self order from and it was occupied for a bit so I placed an online order from the QR code. The main difference is that at the in-store kiosk they make the drink right away, and for the QR code it is for ordering online so it may be 20-25mins wait.“

“Great tea and food. Some of the nicest people work there. Great location with plenty of parking“

“Cha Express Handmake black rice milk tea , puff cream bubble milk tea and hawaii fruit tea is the best . Place is clean and comfort . I will definitely try other drinks next time“

“Beat boba milk tea. 😀😀😀😀“
