Ordered a chocolate Oreo mochi donut and a Crème brûlée boba milk tea.The mochi donut was decent quality and very presentable but the flavor and “mochi” parts just were not there. Top top that off, they don’t carry just a plain mochi donut, which is what I really wanted. The price at $3 is reasonable for this type of donut.The crème brûlée milk tea was quite delicious and I would definitely order it again. Keep in mind that this drink is sweet! They pre-adjust sweetness due to the cream so I could not order less sweetness. You are not allowed to make adjustments to the drink, as noted on the board. I appreciate that my receipt indicates that organic milk was used. The price at $7.25 seemed a bit expensive for a 16 ounce milk tea, but it wouldn’t stop me from ordering it again.This shopping center is typically always busy and parking can be challenging, but doable. The restaurant had several tables to sit at but the atmosphere could be more inviting. The girl that took and prepared my order was nice and professional.

Solid spot for milk tea and mochi donuts ($3 each, $17 per half dozen, $33 per dozen). Ordered the hot matcha latte with almond milk and the churro flavored mochi donut. Mochi donut flavors vary or change daily. Located in a small shopping plaza with sufficient parking in front, between Habit Burger and OrangeTheory Fitness. They also use the Cash App so you can pay and earn points for your purchases here.

Lack of customer service. I smiled said Hi.The cashier seems annoyed. Im so sorry to bother you- maybe customer service is not where you need to be.Got the dozen mochi and left. It's not worth 33 bucks honestly.My kids didn't even want seconds.:/It's in a very busy shopping center. I honestly wouldn't even give it 1 star.

I am pregnant and went inside to order tea. A lady kept complaining about there being money on her “gift card” but the card kept declining. The owner and the rest of the staff continued to help her, trying to figure out why the card kept declining (for $9), instead of moving into next customers standing in line, or even trying to take orders while someone else tried to solve the puzzle of why her gift card was declining. After about 20 minutes of waiting for the entire staff to figure out why her “gift card” kept declining, and my back hurting standing and waiting, I left.With there being more than one staff and owner present, someone should’ve moved on with rest of the customers, instead of having us wait on her “declining” gift card balance (even after she was done placing an order). This isn’t the brightest way to run a business.Very disappointed and thought better, especially with the owner present.

This boba shop allows you to customize your own boba drink, but personally for me, I rather select the signature ones because they are straight forward to order. It also sells mochi donuts, which is a plus, and it’s been a while since I had those.Tried the Black Sugar Boba Milk and it tasted very sweet, and the Cookies & Cream donut tastes good. The staff was seemingly short, but they’re able to complete the orders on time.There is also a claw machine to play for $1, but I rather save up at the moment lmao

Loved the mochi donut I got: Churro mochi donut. The boba was also pretty good. I had the Peach Please tea. The service was fast. the staff has been nice every time I've come by. The shop is also always clean every time I've come in. Since it's on El Camino, the street can get very busy, but I've always been able to find parking.Parking: Street parking on El Camino side of the street or the other side of the street.

Drinks are great but you cannot order with no ice. They also charge around 6% more if you order through the Uber app, even for pickup. If you add a topping, then you would be over $8, which seems too much in my opinion, compared to other options nearby. That does not seem to make sense, at least for the customer. Their restrooms have been closed for a while now. For all those reasons, I am removing one star.
I've never physically been to the store but have ordered their mochi donuts and drinks via DoorDash a few times. The custom 6-donut box order comes in a cute little green box with a handle, which makes it great for gift giving. The donuts are stacked neatly and nicely and do not get smashed. The option for custom flavor selections is a plus. So far, every flavor I've tried has been yummy. Their drinks are also refreshing. I would recommend giving these mochi donuts a try if you've never had them. Mochi donuts add a different level of fun and texture compared to regular donuts.

Drinks ok, but I asked for no ice yet still 50% of the cup is ice, I took a few small sip and the drink is already gone.... $7 a cup only lasted for 1 minute. Will give it another chance next time.

Finally get to try this place for the first time. The front counter person was polite and kind. Since it was my first time, I asked what was his favorite (young Asian guy) and oolong tea it is. Since I like rose water, I picked rose oblong tea with original milk plus lychee jelly. The sweetness is not my fan so I went for the least which was 25%. Outcome was pretty good for first choice; however I would go for the next level up for sweetness. The other young gal said her favorite was mango freeze. I will try that on hotter day. Four stars for friendly service and good first choice. Mochi donut will be my dessert after eating habit burger next door. Nice outside seating is available for you as well.

Milk tea tastes good. Minus 1 star because they don't have no ice option in this super cold weather

I visited Te'Amo Boba Tea while stopping through Castro Valley, since my regular go-to boba place in the area was closed that day. It's located right next to a Habit Burger in a pretty nice plaza - although I do wish I looked more into the store before deciding to go hereI ordered their Strawberry Matcha Latte with Oat Milk. The presentation was cute and I liked the matcha / milk / strawberry ratio. I was excited to try it... but I really didn't enjoy the texture of the drink. It was super thick for some reason, maybe it could've been their oat milk? I could've just ordered the wrong drink to try here too lol.Apart from that, our drink came out promptly and staff were nice. They also have mochi donuts here, from their display they looked pretty good!
