10 Best Bubble Tea in Hayward

“I ordered the House Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Crystal Boba and I forgot to ask for no sugar, but to my surprise, it wasn’t overly sweet. It had just the right amount of ice, and the brown sugar crystal boba added a nice touch without being too much. There’s parking available for pick-up orders, which makes grabbing a drink quick and easy.“

“Gong Cha is always a staple of mine whenever I am looking for boba and they happened to have a convenient location near shopping and some good restaurants.

Note: Gong Cha locations use a non-dairy creamer but beware, these almost always still contain whey which is a dairy derivative. It's a common misnomer so always ask for non-dairy milk if you are vegan like myself or adverse to dairy products/have an allergy.

In order to get a non-dairy drink, I was told to order from the Fresh Milk Menu. I did so with my Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Oat Milk and it was satisfying overall. It is indeed quite sweet even with 50% sugar so I'd advise to go even less if you aren't wanting a completely sweet drink.

Staff were friendly and helpful.“

“I had the pleasure of trying the lox bagel sandwich at Fairway Park Donut Shop, and I must say it was absolutely fantastic! This hidden gem of a place knows how to make a memorable sandwich. The lox was fresh and flavorful, perfectly paired with a soft, toasted bagel. The combination of cream cheese, capers, and red onions added just the right balance of flavors. It's a harmonious blend that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place has got you covered. I can't wait to return to try more of their offerings. Fairway Park Donut Shop, you've won a fan in me with your delicious lox bagel sandwich. Highly recommended!“

“standard drinks, i order the sweet potato fries, the staff is always really nice and treat me well - you can order at the counter or use the self-order kiosk for convenience (pictures, descriptions, tap to pay)

service is nice and orders come out in a timely manner thanks to the mom and pop that run this location, sometimes the cashier is a new trainee so please be understanding and patient, they’re just students

plenty of seating, ADA accessible

there is a public bathroom, please use it well and keep it clean

plenty of parking (street, garage)“

“Musubi Libre was a fun experience, $30 for 6 items and a coffee was a little steep for the sizes but the taste was on point. The Japanese egg was the moistest thing I've ever had. The owner greeted me personally and had a great attitude, keep on keeping on and follow them on “

“This place is a gem! I’ve been to Boba Nation a few times now and it’s quickly become my favorite boba spot. The variety on the menu is great there’s something for every mood, whether you’re into fruity teas or creamy milk-based drinks. Last time I got their strawberry matcha latte, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had.“

“Great boba option to turn to here in Hayward that offers oat and soy milk as non-dairy milk options - a win in my book.

The shop is large with many drink options and snacks to choose from. You order from the kiosk in front but can ask the staff if you have any questions.

I ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea with Oat Milk and it was perfectly made. Highly recommend a lower sugar level since it's sweet as it is. They also did a great matcha latte that my sister ordered too.

Will definitely come back here the next time I'm in the area.“

“I buy boba coconut coffee here because it's the best of all when Vi makes it. The coffee is always JUST AS I ORDER. Vi is the best at making coffee, very nice and fast, that's why I come here. Thank you so much Vi for this delicious coffee, which you make the best. Your regular customer LORA 😊❤️“

“Adorable little home bakery with pickups in HaHa Ramen & Sushi restaurant located in downtown Hayward. My cousin ordered this amazingly cute birthday cake for our grandma and asked me to pick it up. She had contacted the baker via WeChat and was able to request a customized design on their taro flavor cake. My cousin used a popular design style from China for their reference and they were able to replicate it pretty accurately! The cake came ribbon wrapped in a clear cake box - presentation was through the roof great!For the cake itself, it was 3 stars for flavor and texture and +1 for design. It wasn't too sweet (which is the Asian standard) and the cake part itself was fragrant and fluffy. The taro cream was light and subtle. Would have liked to tasted more taro-ness but that might be because the baker uses fresh, natural ingredients instead of artificial flavors - which is appreciated.They also offer creme puffs and drinks as well but hours may vary from what's posted because when I went for pickup (2:30pm on a Sunday) the baker themselves weren't there and only the sushi restaurant staff were present. Double check you have the right order before you leave in these scenarios because I was given the wrong order by the restaurant staff. I just said I was picking up a cake and was handed another person's order - I had mistakenly assumed there was only 1 cake order that's why they didn't ask me for the name or what was ordered. Only when I took a picture for my cousin to let her know I picked up the cake did I find out I got the wrong order. Good thing I lived close enough to quickly swing back. Street parking in front of the restaurant is sparse but I didn't have trouble finding a spot on the block.Overall, a great home bakery that offers cute cake designs on this side of the East Bay!“

“An absolute gem of a Hawaiian restaurant! The service was top-notch, making us feel welcomed and comfortable throughout our meal. The food was a true feast for the senses, each dish expertly prepared with a perfect blend of traditional Hawaiian ingredients. The ambiance was soothing, with Hawaiian music playing softly in the background, adding to the overall island vibe. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!“
