This restaurant is one of my favorite go-to boba restaurants. I usually order online and then pick up in-store. There is a large variety of toppings, and I love the fact they have tiny cups. To be honest, they're kind of cute. I recommend trying basically everything, haha, especially the boba drinks. I haven't tried the snacks yet, but I'm looking forward to it! I think this is reasonably high quality and at an ok price, check it out when you can! Unfortunately, it is located at an inconvenient location for parking. People double park in the middle of the street just to pick up boba, which is infuriating and disrupts traffic. I took off a star for that. Be prepared to walk!

Purple Kow is a cute mini friendly Boba & Snacks Dine - In + Pick Up! I recently had the Purple Kow Iced Milk Tea w/ Boba, and had C14 Fresh Strawberry Green Tea!

5 years later and in a new location, the B1 with boba still tastes the same. Same fat cup, same small pearls. A classic.

I have loved Purple Kow since it was in its old location - now, as long as you can find it, it’s still great! Pineapple Green Tea light ice micro or light sweet - delicious and I love the “chubby cup” though it does not fit in standard cup holders which is fine. The staff tried to help me find it but there are 3 different addresses for it in map programs which was maddening - 2508Channing is the spot - just up the hill from Rasputin and Cream - there is only parking on one side of the street and it’s stacked on Sunday. Walk, bike or bring someone to run in! Not far from People’s Park mayhem at the moment (1/2024)
Parking: There is a lot about a block or so away

Their boba is undercooked, and the cups are not ergonomic. Tea was also not very flavorful

Love it. I got the Moo Moo Matcha it was so good. The Matcha was great . Love the location and the decorations inside.
Went in, there was barely anyone there, and it still took them nearly 25 minutes to prepare 5 boba drinks and fries. Finally asked for a refund and left. Won't be repeating.

This one was opened recently, came here because I saw students hold short fat cute cups from Purple Kow.Turn to your right when you hit Rasputin. They have different toppings than other stores on Telegraph. I ordered Matcha crema with green tea jelly and matcha pudding. I’m a big fan of matcha, the more bitter, the better. The drink I ordered was not matcha latte, they mixed matcha powder with green tea instead of milk. By the color you can tell that this matcha powder was oxidized and not green anymore, that was kinda off. Their creama is whipped cream. The barista took too long to make one drink. Sadly they didn’t give me a short fat cup because I ordered more than 2 toppings and couldn’t fit in one.Paper straws, price range, decorations were decent. Come check it out.

Very good but the layout of the store is badly designed.
