24 Best Bubble Tea near Hercules

“The Best of the Best with the owner making the rating of her shop a 5 star! Yes, Michelle is very kind appreciates all customers walking in to make their order. What's even convenient for many of us who needs distraction as we wait for our order, there is a lotto scratchers machine. If your feeling lucky like I did... spent $30 on 1 scratcher and won $100. True story. I recommend their Avocado smoothie. The best Avocado smoothie in the Bay Area. I don't care and don't wanna hear it. Don't waste your money anywhere else. Go to Tapioca Cafe. Michelle makes the drinks better than her associates behind the register. She just knows how to make it. She's in the Boba game for over 10 years. Her donuts are made in house , not her house but at the shop very early in the morning. She's there all day every day and has the best kindest heart you will get to meet. Very professional, clean store. I could go on but I do have to mention that she is very Humble for a business owner. Mostly she could be seen in the back making sandwiches and washing the dishes and utensils that customers and associates have used. Her associates are just as hard working as she is, which I really don't mind tipping them in the tip jar every time I pay them a visit for my yummy taro smoothie. If you mention to her in question "Who's got the Best of the Best Avocado smoothie?" That's the secret 50% off . It only works at lunch and has to be mentioned before making your order at noon up to 30 mins after that, forget it. You'll get the... are you slow look. Don't take it personal, she gives me that look all the time then she breaks into her natural smile.“

“Highly recommended! Great food and friendly owner.“

“Such delicious boba tea!! The staff was incredibly helpful—we brought our kids and they helped us figure out what would be appropriate drinks to give them (no caffeine, no sugar level but added sweetness from the fruit). Great prices, too!

Kid-friendliness: Can adjust sweetness, ice amount, and choose a non caffeinated tea or sparkling water to use“

“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!“

“What a cute little place! Lots of geeky knick knacks to look at while you wait for your boba. They were super willing to customize my drink with the sugar levels and they also give a discount if you pay cash!

Overall nice place and nice people ᕦ⁠ʕ⁠ ⁠•⁠ᴥ⁠•⁠ʔ⁠ᕤ“

“We had boba delivered to Jefferson St Mansion for our wedding in October, and it was amazing! We ordered through a delivery service (Uber Eats or Door Dash, I can't remember which) because Quickly doesn't deliver themselves.We called ahead a few days before to let them know we'd be placing a large order, and everything went great, it was all ready on time, and arrived without issue.Great job guys!“

“Amazing boba and super kind and helpful staff!“

“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 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.“

“I have been going to Tay Tah cafe for years. Their Breakfast Energizer smoothie is my go-to lunch meal and my husband loves the Banh Mi sandwiches. We are so lucky to have this wonderful cafe in our neighborhood! The owner and employees are super friendly too!

Vegetarian options: Breakfast Energizer smoothie is delicious and filling.“

“If you like to have something totally different from traditional drinks, this is the right place. There are about 50 different types of drinks, order them with boba so that the flavor improves and it is not expensive, only 5 dollars per large glass.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Just left Quickly and it was great. I had the pleasure of trying a Strawberry Boba Milk tea drink. AJ took my order and had really great customer service. I loved it. I’ll be back with my family and friends in the future for sure. Thanks.“

“I am INLOVE with the atmosphere. Walking right in, the smell of sweet tapioca made me instantly love the place. They even had board games under the table. It'd be a great place to hangout with friends. The people serving seemed to have their own enthusiastic energy that was quite welcoming. I'd love to come again.“

“I had an amazing experience at this Hawaiian gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and the famous "aloha" spirit. The service was impeccable—attentive but never intrusive. The food was beyond incredible; the poke was so fresh it tasted like it came straight from the ocean, and the kalua pork was tender and packed with smoky goodness. The ambiance transported us to the islands, with soft ukulele music, tiki-inspired decor, and dim lighting that created a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. This place is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Hawaiian flavors!“

“My husband enjoyed his drink! Very strong blend of Vietnamese coffee with cream puff. Yummy!! This novelty drink is priced fairly.

Superb customer services too! Warm and friendly greeting from the moment we walked in and until we left. I highly recommend to give them a try if you are in the area. I would absolutely visit them again when we are in town again.“

“Omg best corndogs(the potato original and cheese and a bit of sugar dusted ?) I’ve ever had in my life and it was very reasonable priced. Also their strawberry ? lemonade with popping boba pearls is just ? Milk tea is delicious too. The young lady working the register is very nice and patient with you while ordering. I’ve yet to try their mochinuts but they look beautiful and delicious!It is small inside so you may want to avoid the time all the school kids gets out. Otherwise it’s super cute and very clean inside.My family and I are so happy they’re in our community and look forward to eating there very soon!

Kid-friendliness: It’s super cute inside and they have lots of sweet or savory options for kids and teens.“

“One of our go to spots for a cold drink on a hot day. Love the watermelon slushy. My husband almost always goes for the mango. And today the little one got a strawberry banana smoothie.They also offer snacks like lumpia, French fries, or mozzarella sticks.They remodeled the interior. The venue has a more modern interior with lots of places to sit. They also offer board games to play while enjoying your food.“

“Tried the new T4 today and were very disappointed to see that calamari heads weren’t on the menu. Both of the drinks we ordered were extremely sweet. Mine was undrinkable and my partner’s was better after the ice melted.

**PLEASE T4 VALLEJO GET THE FRIED CALAMARI HEADS AND MENU THAT THE OAKLAND CHINATOWN ONE HAS!“

“drinks are always good and it’s never a hit or miss. i always get the same thing but it’s always good or better than the last time never a one hit wonder! the sandwich i got which was the turkey avocado sandwich was okay. a lot of avocado and onion but little turkey. i’m sure you ask for your specific topping preferences that wouldn’t be a problem. found out about this place a couple weeks ago and have been a regular ever since. my new favorite boba place ever since the first time i came. highly recommend! (the boba in the picture is the devil zang zang, if you like boba and oreo and don’t know what to try definitely get that. it’s also the middle boba picture on the window.)“

“Parking: Difficult to find parking in front. I recommend parking around the corner in front of the main strip of stores and walking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. Might have difficulty finding parking nearby. Bathroom is for employees only.“

“My daughters love boba. Eventually, after trying different drinks the kids had ordered, I was ready to try a new boba drink... And I hated it. The flavor was great, but the toppings in the drink didn't have the texture I was expecting.

I could not drink it. My body wouldn't let me swallow. (Completely a me problem, because my kids thought it was fine.) But I was unhappy about it. The gentleman behind the counter switched it out for my regular order at no cost. (Thanks again! I really appreciate it!)

We can walk here, and we like to visit as often as we can. The people are wonderful, and the drinks are good.

Very happy with Toco Tea. ?

Parking: There's a nail salon, and a barber shop in the same building, and it's not a very big lot. Time of day will really effect the parking.“
