21 Best Bubble Tea near Hercules

“This place is such a hidden gem. I thought it was a just a donut shop but they have so many boba and coffee and breakfast/lunch options. I tried this Vietnamese coffee and honestly it was probably one of the best iced coffees I’ve tried in my 21 years of life I’m not even exaggerating lmao. The perfect amount of sweetness - I asked for less sweet but is also strong to give you energy for the day. The guy who helped me was super friendly and patient. If I could I would come buy their viet iced coffee every morning … Definitely would love to come back to try their banh mi and other drink options and I recommend for anyone wanting to try a new coffee shop or if you wanna try Vietnamese iced coffee for the first time!!“

“Highly recommended! Great food and friendly owner.“

“I've been here for a long time and for whatever reason my original review is not here. Nonetheless this place is amazing. A diamond hidden in the rough, an oasis for those who need a boba fix. It's a local store filled with anime goodies and is a TCG haven for Magic, Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh, and of course POKEMON! This is the place to be. There are different nights for specific TCG's and they have pokemon trade nights. I recommend joining the discord. Come by and enjoy a drink made by Em, or the guys talking about all the TCG's. The owners a nice guy to boot!“

“I enjoyed visiting Cha Thai tea! The employees are always very welcoming and helpful with their recommendations. I really enjoyed this drink (I think it was a coconut avocado special? I forgot to look at the exact name of the drink) and pandan custard toast. I also enjoyed the mango coco the previous time I came here. They have a smaller, simpler menu that's not too overwhelming but the ingredients seem very fresh and tasty! I'll definitely be back!“

“I absolutely love this boba spot! Their strawberry matcha latte is my favorite — perfectly balanced and so refreshing. Scott is amazing — he’s always so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about customizing drinks to make them just right. You can really tell he cares about the customers. Such a kind person and great service every time! Definitely support them — they deserve it!“

“This is the best boba place in Berkeley. The lady working here is so nice and she even gave my friend a free drink for his birthday! If you ever pull up here make sure to get the grape sparkling or any of the Thai tea. Their sushi roll is also amazing. I swear you won’t be disappointed :)

P.S. this was the drink that my friend requested“

“Prob the best Quickly boba bubble tea I've visited, in a long while, as it's not typical of the other Quicklys I've checked out, around the Bay Area. Under the new management, I was catered to their updated menu - the Mahalo Spam Fries and Yum-pia, went along well with my matcha latte! I will be revisting this spot often!“

“I eat lunch here regularly and find the service to be consistently friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and tasty— I usually have one of their generous banh mi sandwiches. The atmosphere is warm and the other customers seem happy to be there. And it’s a great vantage point for watching the Solano Avenue street scene.“

“Amazing boba and super kind and helpful staff!“

“Went to satisfy a boba craving.

The service is efficient and friendly.

The store is clean and friendly. I like the color. The menu is not so large as to get lost but large enough you are sure to find something yummy.

After choosing a drink you can choose your sugar and ice levels. I love being able to do this! They offer teas, slushes and yakult. The flavor was good. My only problem is that it took forever to make. It wasn’t even that busy. 😔“

“I never review anything , I have come to this place multiple times a week for weeks now .. I love their wings and seasoned fries . As a wing lover they are a step above wingstop Buffalo Wild Wings or any wing I have had. I appreciate the great customer service the food is soooooooooooo GOOD puts me in a good mood everytime I eat there.“

“The drinks are great and so is the food! I hope people support because it would be horrible to lose another small business in this area. Unfortunately, the shopping center doesn’t have a lot going for it anymore and I would hate to see the entire thing go away. However, if you like Boba and snacks, this is the place to go! The customer service is top-notch and I love their milk tea.“

“The owner is a lovely woman who tastes everything in her store to recommend the best Dubai chocolates and teas and cheeses for your tastes, which I found touching. We loved finding Dutch honey drops here and porcini mushrooms, and HIGHLY recommend getting a cortado at the coffee bar.“

“This is my go-to place for boba. I enjoy their variety. I normally have the taro with Almond milk, strawberry popping Boba and lychee jelly. It brings back childhood memories of strawberry milk. I also like the pineapple tea and the lemon one. However, I'm caffeine sensitive so I try to avoid them late in the day so that I can sleep. The inside is clean. I have never ordered food from here so I can't speak to that. I like that they have a stand where you can put in your own order and add your own extras.“

“This location has been a boba shop for well over 10 years now, It went through different owners and different names, but in general has always been good.

That is still true today, the drinks are tasty, popcorn chicken is very good here. and they also have other snacks such as fries, fishball etc.

it is pretty inside, clean and well decorated, you can see the pictures of the interior.“

“Every time I come home from college, this is the first spot I need to visit. The atmosphere in-store is spectacular, and the folks at the counter have always been lovely to me.

Vibes aside, the food is also Really good. Even though I tend to go later in the day, the donuts are always perfectly chewy (as all good mochi donuts are), and they've always got a great variety of flavors available.

The drinks are also super fun. The ube milk tea is always a banger choice, but I was pleasantly surprised by their horchata this time around! Big recommend.

Tl;dr: W place, W service, W food. I would trade all of my worldly possessions for one of their elote or potato half and half dogs.“

“I was pleasantly surprised to learn this place services food. You order from a kiosk machine and pick up your order from a service window.
We ordered the salt and pepper chicken, Mongolian beef, beef and pork chow mein, and roasted oolong milk tea with lychee coconut and strawberry bubble.
We enjoyed everything we ordered and definitely will return again.“

“Really good bubble tea! I always get the Thai Tea, Less Ice, 25% sweet (50% if I really need a sugar rush). Order online via the web site (they take apple, google pay, and Cash App.) usually done much faster than they say it will take. The cups do seem quite recyclable, just wish the straws were too! If they had 100% bio-degradable/compostable/recyclable set up would be 5 Stars.P.S. If you are used to other bubble T's I would start with 75%-100% sweet and work your way down to 50%. I find 50% to be perfect but I don't eat/drink much sugar.“

“Got the chicken katsu dish. Katsu is very crisp, use thigh meat, sauce is good, habanero sauce is killer, some pieces of katsu mostly breading with how thin the meat got but a large portion and so I do not feel skimped on meat overall. Steamed cabbage and broccoli provided give a nice break to the grease. Mac is on par with l&l. Would eat here again“

“Love this chain. Their drink menu changes all the time, so if you don't see your drink on the menu anymore - just ask. They may be able to look it up name. Great service and tons of seating. Some outdoor seating available. If you don't order ahead, there may be a bit of wait depending on the time of day.“
