I got the jasmine milk tea with drinkable mochi and the QQ Mochi milk tea with boba. I am not a big fan of the drinkable mochi. Their boba is all right.

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! :)

Wow, Tibear is my new favorite boba spot because it's all about quality! It's a small little joint that sells greatness in a cup. That QQ Mochi Milk Tea is one of the best drinks I've had. The texture and flavor is perfect and will leave you wanting more. Can't wait to come back someday to try their other goodies.

Great drinks, but please get new boba straws. They break easily

Thai green tea with Thai tea ice cream! I love how tibear includes Thai tea ice cream with their Thai tea drinks. So good- both the green and the regular. I've ordered online on multiple occasions and pick up has been mostly easy. Sometimes it can take a while cause they're busy. I've also tried their drinkable Mochi topping. Pretty interesting, more so for textural purposes. Our frequent drinks here are their Thai tea drinks since they're amazing, esp with the ice cream. Their ice cream is from Mitchell's and they have a few flavors here. This boba place is small on the inside, but really cute.

My top 2 favorite boba place at Berkeley! The Phoenix oolang with mochi is just impressive! Strong tea flavor combined with unique mochi topping! Always come back monthly!The only thing is that parking in the area is a bit difficult but that’s not really a ding for this amazing place!

I got the "house milk tea" (basic black tea based Boba) around 7 PM on a weeknight, and I was disappointed that the Boba was overcooked. I have heard such good things that I plan on trying TiBear again, but I was disappointed.

First time I went it was good got a boba milk tea, lots of boba and good black milk tea. Second time I got a hot pink peach and they put a whole lime in the drink, not cut squeezed or anything just the whole lime. Same with my friends drink aswell. also the vending machine didn’t

I'm only giving 4 ? because the drinks were not cold. They were room temperature. I did request "no ice." However, drinks should have been ice cold...

Was visiting the nearby Sweetgreens when I found Tibear on Yelp just a block away. We walked over, and while there were a few groups waiting when we arrived at 6pm on a weekend, the two self-service kiosks were completely free without any queues. The shop itself is pretty small with 4 stools (6 if you consider the additional two stools for photo ops near the plushies) for waiting, but no real options to dine-in. There is a cute display of Rilakkuma plushies on one corner for photo ops, as well as a cute bear-themed claw machine to play from ($1/play). We opted for a Mango Genmaicha Latte w/ boba on our first visit, and the drink came out after about 10mins. Overall was not too impressed with the flavor profile, and the drinks here are pretty pricey. Most of the specialty drinks run $7.75 for a medium (which is almost a small at most other places), and additional boba topping costs $1.00 more. This place is supposedly known for their mochi milk, which we honestly barely tasted in our drink.

I've come here multiple times and have ordered the same thing a couple times. I'm never met with consistency. I've been getting the oolong milk tea with boba. The first time, I got 50% sugar with boba and it was SO absurdly sweet that I could barely drink half. I got the same thing today with 0% sugar and it just tasted like milk. Usually getting less sugar means you can taste the tea better, but it literally just tastes like milk + mediocre boba. My friend got the QQ Mochi milk tea and that it also just tasted like straight up milk. Batch to batch consistency needs to be improved. Today's drinks were a complete disappointment. It's almost like they forgot to put tea leaves when brewing. Keeping at 3 stars because the fruit tea drinks are slightly better. The passion fruit green tea isn't bad. But for now, I'm over giving TiBear another try.
