“Cute little dessert shop in Downtown Berkeley with so many yummy mango desserts! We got the Pomelo and Mango with Sago (most popular drink) and the flavor is not too sweet and the texture is so unique. The mango also tastes very fresh. Will come again to try other drinks and desserts!“
“The Tie Guan Yin milk tea with boba, 80% sweetness and less ice is my favorite boba order in Berkeley. It’s pricey but always tastes great. The seating is very comfortable but the indoors is a little cramped. Order ahead if you don’t want to wait 15+ mins at the busiest times.“
“This is the best tea I've ever had! I got the roasted oolong, Thai tea and Matcha latte. They were all extremely fresh tasting and delicious. We also got the Taro, which was also very fresh, but because of that tasted like drinking pureed taro root. I personally didn't enjoy it.The teas are served in amazing glass jars which you can reuse for next time. The staff are very friendly and helpful.Dietary restrictions: They had milk alternatives.“
“My daughter had been raving about this place for months. I finally joined her this week, and I was blown away. The food was delicious, made fresh in front of our eyes. The atmosphere is adorable with fantastic pink clouds floating above. And the service was warm and memorable (they even provided a complimentary treat for my daughter's birthday!). This is a must see spot , and I can't wait to return!“
“If you haven't been to this location before, be warned that there isn't a ton of street parking directly next to the store, but there is a parking garage within walking distance that has 1 hour free parking! The interior isn't huge, but you can definitely go in to sit down with a couple of friends! We only came for the drinks (D3 & B2). The service was quick as well. I generally try to go by the rule that if you've never had a drink before at a new place, you should always get 100% to try the drink how it was intended to be made. That being said, we got the B2 with green milk tea & 80% sweetness but didn't really feel like the flavor was super strong... I definitely feel like I should have gotten a 100%! There was A TON of boba in there, which was half appreciated but also it was so difficult to try the drink on its own! We also got the D3 with 100%( Milk with Caramel, Boba + Pudding). The caramel definitely makes this feel like it's 200% sweetness, so you could totally tone down the sweetness for this drink. Other than that, the boba was nice and chewy, a little smaller than usual though!“
“My friend visited me from SF cause I've been ill for a long time and she brought me Tibear. It's pretty local to their neighborhood in Richmond district by Golden Gate Park. She frequents there often and is a big boba connoisseur since our college days so I was excited to try it.She got me a brown sugar boba fresh milk and it was pretty good. I think what sets this drink above the rest was the quality of brown sugar syrup they use. They brown their boba themselves and make it fresh which is amazing. Check it out on your way to GG Park! :)“
“We have tried all the boba places in town and this is our kids' favorite due to the flavor and texture of the boba. The fruit teas are nondairy, and the milk teas can be made with nondairy milk. Our favorites are the brown sugar pearl latte and the mountain tea.“
“This is the best boba restaurant in Berkeley!! I had Bomba matcha, and it was sweet yet bitter and delicious!! Milk tea in Okinawa is delicious!! The pearls are really sweet and chewy, so delicious☺️?Parking: There is a parking lot in the back that is paid on weekdays and free on weekends. You have to park on the street on weekdays, so it's a bit inconvenient to drive there.“
“Their rose tea with jelly is FANTASTIC! I come here just for that. I haven't found the same flavor at any other tea spot in the area. For whatever reason, I'm obsessed with their rose flavoring! This is one of my regular spots, I recommend!“
“My go-to for traditional non-milk teas; I favor hojicha & matcha. The seasonal flavors such as yuzu & asian pear add another level of variety & complexity & you can get it unsweetened as well. There are local baked goods but they disappear quickly, but I was able to snag a black sesame cookie. The matcha sparkler hits the spot on a warm day too.“
“Berkeley is not shy of boba shops. My friend and I were seeking boba after our meal and Teaspoon was nearby and open later than other spots. This tea shop is on the smaller end with only two tables. Most customers take their drinks to go. Ordering is a breeze which you do at the kiosk and wait for your name to be called. Our drinks took less than five minutes to be made by the sweet staff which was appreciated! There's a variety of milk and fruit teas, some are caffeinated and others aren't. Adjustments for ice and sweetness can be made plus fairly alternatives are available. Since it was late at night, the non-caffeinated Silky Mango, Light Ice, and Oat Milk called to me. I found the Silky Mango to be extremely sweet, and creamy, with nicely cooked boba. My friend had the Dirty Ube with Oat Milk. The drinks are a little pricey but a good size! Teaspoon is a small yet reasonable spot for drinks in Downtown Berkeley. They have locations all over the nation, with this one tucked away off University Ave. It's easily accessible by foot with street parking around.“
“Definitely get the soft serve here. Don’t think the other snacks are worth it. Pretty spacious place to hangout and play board games. It’s self order at the machines and finished items are brought out at the counter for pick up. Not a particularly inviting space though. Something about it just feels under construction or industrial, not exactly what I expect from a dessert shop. But it works.“
“Easily our favorite find since our daughter started school at UC Berkeley. The people there are so down to earth so kind. The food is amazing all the empenadas we have had are delicious. The Boba drinks there are so different than your run of the mill Boba “
