16 Best Bubble Tea in Berkeley

“I enjoyed visiting Cha Thai tea! The employees are always very welcoming and helpful with their recommendations. I really enjoyed this drink (I think it was a coconut avocado special? I forgot to look at the exact name of the drink) and pandan custard toast. I also enjoyed the mango coco the previous time I came here. They have a smaller, simpler menu that's not too overwhelming but the ingredients seem very fresh and tasty! I'll definitely be back!“

“What a delightful place to stop and grab a delicious empanada or a boba drink. I just love the chicken adobo empanadas. The pastry is fresh, flaky, and crispy. The lightly spicy chicken and potato filling is tender and savory. So good. Be sure and try the house-made sweet chili sauce as well. For dessert, try the mango cheese cake empanada. It is tangy, fruity, rich with cream cheese and topped with a sugar-glazed crust. The prices are very affordable too!“

“Delicious. Wonderful staff. I was visiting from out of town and made it a point to visit this place again.“

“This is my go-to boba shop at Berkeley! Out of all the shops I've been to, the quality here has been the most consistent. Always has a quick service, tea is perfectly balanced, and boba is the perfect sweet treat to celebrate the end of another week :)“

“A little hidden but once stepping inside it was very cute and well decorated. Ordering was easy and worth the money (we got a passion fruit smoothie [75% sugar] and a strawberry smoothie with strawberry popping boba [25%] both were delicious).“

“BOBA DRINKS, Chicken wings, spicy noodles. Social distancing, mask required, no dine_in, meter street parking, Great area near Veteran's Hospital and its across from Mr Banh Mi...“

“Taste are unique and Delicious What I like most is their best & friendly customer service ever Gonna enjoy Tp boba whenever I shop at westfield 😍 I really recommend Their classic boba & strawberry milk tea. Boba r fresh and chewy Their Mango cheese Cream is extreme good“

“They have a lot of choices and you can mix and match as you please. You walk in and order on the order pad. You put together your drink piece by piece - providing a lot of possible combinations. You then pay and wait for your drink to be made - which happens rather quickly. The end result is pretty good! Note: There is plenty of seating inside.“

“This is the best boba place in Berkeley. The lady working here is so nice and she even gave my friend a free drink for his birthday! If you ever pull up here make sure to get the grape sparkling or any of the Thai tea. Their sushi roll is also amazing. I swear you won’t be disappointed :)

P.S. this was the drink that my friend requested“

“I ordered the strawberry colada smoothie with boba which tends to have the boba stuck at the bottom. This led to me shaking it to mix it up like most other boba places but the lid came loose and the drink spilled everywhere. The customer service was the best.

They offered to remake the drink and gave me plenty of things to help clean myself up as well as make the situation better as a whole. Best drinks in boba as well by far. Will continue coming here for the rest of my time here at Berkeley!“

“The first time eating this and it was amazing!!!! Delicious Delicious Delicious“

“Not bad, sometimes service can range from a bit rude to pretty cool. Comes out fast but can also be delayed even if the app (use Snackpass, I recommend it)says it’s ready. Best boba in Berkeley so far, because they are consistent with quality, taste, and business. I have to give boba ninja another shot, they seemed pretty okay too!Plentea and share tea dropped in quality :/“

“Super awesome authentic Hong Kong style desert. Love all durian and mongo dishes!“

“Good tea house. Bad place for a breakup 😭. You’ll find yourself wanting to come back and won’t know if it’s for the tea or the relationship you’re missing… it’s the tea.

Asha is often crowded but there’s a seat or two open. The tea is high quality, especially the matcha and HK milk tea! Pretty classic Berkeley spot if I do say so myself 🤭“

“The Alley was popularized by a Korean drama with Lee Minh Ho. I'm not a huge boba fan, so the drinks were ok to me but their boba is chewy and tastier than other boba.My brother likes to add a splash of Hennessey to his royal tea.Was told this is the only location in the Bay Area. Yes, one in Elk Grove but that's not the Bay.“

“A little pricey, but high quality ingredients. The brown sugar boba is as soft and sweet as marshmallows, very good.“
