Love their boba tea. This is the only place I get mine.

Very slow service. Their cups are tall but very skinny, so it’s probably the equivalent of small. Note they’ve moved a couple doors down from their original location.

Wait was supposed to be 5 min. 20 min later I am still here because they lost the order or something.

I’ve definitely been gatekeeping this place for too long and i want it to do well so here goes my review! BEST BOBA /TEA IN OAKLAND!

You know the tea is good when it literally has a tea leaf shop. All the drinks are made with the same tea leaves from the tea shop which makes this place so special. Prices are still reasonable (but even if they raise it I won’t be mad). I usually get their dragonwell milk tea and finally ventured into a pineapple fruit tea and it was just as delightful. Menu is massive but I doubt you can go wrong with anything.

They also serve cute Hong Kong style street snacks like curry fishballs and fish siu mai as well as rice noodle rolls in sauce. I got a drink, noodles and siu mai today and it was $18 with tip.

Cannot praise this place enough! The only somewhat downside is that it can take a while for your drink to be made but I like to believe it’s because they brew each drink with fresh tea leaves, none of that instant powder or pre brewed large batch of tea!

If you care about the “tea” part of milk tea, go here. Store is two parts: boba shop and loose leaf tea shop.

Boba shop: huge selection of many different teas as well as flavors/cremas etc. my favorite part is that you can ask what tea they use in the drink and they will tell you what it is. This place is a dream. Prices are reasonable (~$5-6). It’s my favorite way to try new teas.

Their loose leaf selection is enormous, particularly for tieguanyin and puer. Not to mention they do sell teapots and other tea accessories. My favorite tea is their Strong Aroma Tieguanyin, which is also the tea used in their Tieguanyin Crema in the boba shop.

Truly excellent tea and boba here. I got the Jasmine green tea with boba and Hong Kong milk tea with boba and I have to say their tea based drinks are spectacular! One of the best in the Bay Area honestly, and I’ve gone to a lot of boba and tea shops. I wish there was a Golden Tea Shop closer to where I live, it definitely would be a place I would frequent. I will come again next time I’m in Oakland and this is a spot I would recommend to my tea and boba connoisseur friends! Also the price of the boba drinks here is unbeatable for the size and quality you get! Love this spot.

GO HERE. They have an absolutely astounding array of options, including dozens of things I've never seen at other bubble tea places. (E.g red bean toppings or durian sago tofu pudding). Everything is customizable and they have over a dozen toppings to choose from. They are also very dairy-free/vegan friendly (they have almond, soy, oat, and coconut milk!).

Vegetarian options: They have almond, soy, oat, and coconut milk.

Dietary restrictions: They have almond, soy, oat, and coconut milk.
