49 Best Bubble Tea near Richmond

“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. 😔“

“Hidden gem inside a Chinese market.

We had:
• Vietnamese Coffee with Ube and Boba with 25% sugar. It was perfect! Perfect sweetness!
• Taro Coconut Milk Tea with Mango was interesting. Real creamy coconut milk. Felt like the one’s I had in Thailand.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!“

“We have been ordering for the last 4 years and the quality has only been degrading. Today was literally the worst of it all. We ordered chicken wings, fries and tiramisu boba, haven’t tried the boba yet. The fries are warm but uncooked, they are raw on the inside and you can feel that uncooked chewy feeling, it’s really bad. The chicken was for my sister and she is throwing it too. Guys, this is really not fair, you guys are being way too careless.

Reply to owner’s response: Hi Toco Tea Owner, thank you for your response. We settled it through DoorDash already so no need for refund. I understand mistakes can happen but please be more careful regarding such matters in future. We’d really appreciate that. Have a good day!“

“What a delightful place to stop and grab a delicious empanada or a boba drink. I just love the chicken adobo empanadas. The pastry is fresh, flaky, and crispy. The lightly spicy chicken and potato filling is tender and savory. So good. Be sure and try the house-made sweet chili sauce as well. For dessert, try the mango cheese cake empanada. It is tangy, fruity, rich with cream cheese and topped with a sugar-glazed crust. The prices are very affordable too!“

“It's really nice in there. You occasionally get a loud & noisy large group of students in there but it's right next to the UC Berkeley campus so that's their majority of the patrons. Parking is difficult in the area, it's located at the corner of two one-way intersections.“

“i’ve come here a few times already and the drink quality is excellent: flavorful and not overly sweet. i’m very picky about the texture and chew of the boba and cha thai tea def gets it right. had their mango sticky rice too, v good as well. cant wait to try their vanilla ube toast and other beverages. highly recommend!“

“Big fan of the signature milk tea that has all of the toppings like red bean and jelly. Great texture, great tea flavor and not too sweet like some other milk teas I’ve had, even at regular sugar levels. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Chinatown- one of the better SF milk tea shops for sure“

“I’m a regular and I love the environment and drinks at Teahut so definitely five stars!!! Highly recommended:))
But dear staff if you’re reading this please be careful with your fire when making the crème brûlée milk tea cause when i got it last time the top of the plastic cup got burnt and the lid did not hold well. I almost spilled the drink all over. But the drink itself was surely good!“

“Highly recommended! Great food and friendly owner.“

“Tried their number one most ordered drink and they did not dissappont ! Purple potion was great ! Not to mention 0 wait because I got caught up with watching anime and checking out thr Pokémon cards!!!! Was able to complete two of my deck builds because they had the cards I needed ! They even gave me extra trainer cards to complete my set!!! Great company and vibes! Purchased drinks. Purchased cards. Will be back for trade night and game night events!!!! 10/10 recommend! There was no big sign at the front so it was like a treasured hidden gem near me!!!!“

“Friendly service, very clean Love the passion fruit“

“Great tea and staff is super friendly… even the music playing was great…“

“I came here this evening and ordered a bubble tea from the kiosk. The woman working was incredibly friendly, and they have a cute little store. But I ordered a black milk tea with 25% sugar and received an incredibly sweet brown sugar milk tea instead. It was way too sweet, but probably just an oversight.“

“it is small shop which touch screen kiosk to order near Oakland Chinatown. Practically you have to wait for the person in front of you finish their order before you get it. it might fit max 4 to 5 people. There are plenty option from the menu. You can choose sweet option.
The drink is pretty good. The price is reasonable.“

“The tea shop and boba shop are separate. I don’t think they use the fresh tea leaves for their drinks bc it doesn’t taste like it. The drinks were overly sweet even though I put 50% sweetness but still good. The boba pearls were perfectly bouncy. Also cheaper than most other boba shops in Oakland.“

“I randomly walked in an hour before closing looking for something to warm me up. I had a surprisingly delicious mocha. One of the better mochas I’ve tried I’ve had around the bay. My recommendation is get the mocha with no whip and 30% sugar with the salt creamer, genuinely amazing. Staff was really down to earth aswell.“

“Delicious. Wonderful staff. I was visiting from out of town and made it a point to visit this place again.“

“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!“

“their brown sugar milk tea was the best i ever had. their boba is amazing. they have vegan options for milk tea. the boss is super nice also.

update: their taro milk tea and pina colada smoothie is delicious as well according to my dad and bf. the brown sugar milk tea is still bomb and boba is fresh“

“Stopped in at Christmas Eve as everything nearby was closed. Unfortunately I still had last minute shopping to do and got a caffeine headache.

The coffee was surprisingly really good. I definitely recommend this place. The two women who seemed to run it were incredibly kind.“

“Friendly staff, great (and healthy) Boba and bakery items.“

“Update: I stopped by again and they are open! I just happened to catch them on two days they were randomly closed. Highly recommend their vegan banh mi. Super tasty and filling.

I tried to get a sandwich here on a Sunday afternoon, and again on a Wednesday afternoon and it was closed both times. I’m not sure if this location is permanently closed…there’s no signage posted, nothing on their website, and neither location answers the phone. Bummer since their sandwiches were delish!“

“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“

“BOBA DRINKS, Chicken wings, spicy noodles. Social distancing, mask required, no dine_in, meter street parking, Great area near Veteran's Hospital and its across from Mr Banh Mi...“

“Very clean and open space. I ordered the grapefruit tea with lychee jelly which was delicious but also too sweet so next time I will tweak my order to have less sugar. My daughter ordered the milk tea with boba and puff cream (I think that is what it was). She loved it! We received our drinks promptly. Located near Fenton's“

“Hi family.

If you’re at the pier and you’re looking for a place that has some good smoothies for a good price.

You might wanna stop by this quickly.

I got the avocado Snow. It is pretty good. Customer service is good. The price is excellent.

If you decide to stop by, let them know, Pastor Dre sent you. Representing Gospel Swag.“

“exquisite drinks They have to make a stop here..“

“Cool Tea Bar never disappoints! The grass jelly roasted milk tea was absolutely delicious — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with just the right sweetness. The grass jelly added such a refreshing texture and made the drink even better.

The green pandan waffle was also amazing! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with a fragrant pandan flavor. It paired perfectly with the milk tea.

Great drinks, tasty desserts, and friendly service. Definitely one of my favorite spots to relax and grab a treat. Highly recommend!“

“Loved the mango boba with red beans ❤️So delicious and comforting, what’s more is that I paid the price of 1 for 2 with their special discount that day . Too bad there’s no branch here in the L.A. area .

Dietary restrictions: With the customized ordering, you can opt to reduce the sugar in your boba drink, I only had 50% of the amount of sugar for my calorie limit. So that’s really great and my boba tasted so yummy , my hubby had one too?“

“Taste are unique and Delicious What I like most is their best & friendly customer service ever Gonna enjoy Tp boba whenever I shop at westfield 😍 I really recommend Their classic boba & strawberry milk tea. Boba r fresh and chewy Their Mango cheese Cream is extreme good“

“Dragon Fruit Tea delicious“

“I’ve only had their smoothies and tasted the ice cream . It’s pretty good haven’t been disappointed . Thai tea ice cream is fire 🔥 . They do close early , earlier than their posted hours though sometimes a half hour early so best to arrive over an hour before they close . I haven’t tried their banh mi but they do seem pricey at nearly 18 dollars each!“

“Food was really good and healthy compared to a lot of other places out there. Got like a bowl thing that was a little bit spicy but it was really good. My girlfriend got a wrap that she really liked.

Prices weren't bad either given how healthy everything was. All the veggies were fresh and delicious but the sauce was where it shined for sure.“

“The price and size were very reasonable, and employee's were super nice (although they asked if we were related to our cousin for some reason, kinda strange but friendly). The boba and teas were delicious, and they had plenty of yummy options to choose from. They also had some food options, although we didn't try the meat thing our cousin got, cause we're vegetarian. Made my day better, so glad I went. This place is so much better than Boba Guys, which is just down the street. Do not try to go there, it won't be good. great place to get boba at RareTea!“

“Not bad, sometimes service can range from a bit rude to pretty cool. Comes out fast but can also be delayed even if the app (use Snackpass, I recommend it)says it’s ready. Best boba in Berkeley so far, because they are consistent with quality, taste, and business. I have to give boba ninja another shot, they seemed pretty okay too!Plentea and share tea dropped in quality :/“

“Pretty good except cheap ingredients which is okay since they still gave me my boba 10pm. But they stole Yi fangs concept, interior, their video, their branding, and basically just trying to be Yi fang (a well known Taiwanese fruit tea chain) Inside of the store they play Yi fangs video on the big flat screen TV with all the brands logos and indicators blurred out. Honestly don’t know what’s going on but it’s pretty weird.“

“Mondo yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Kuya Rod“

“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.“

“​Yu's Cafe is a good spot for unique treats at very reasonable prices. It is located in Chinatown, beside a park. Their Coffee Cheese is absolutely delicious.

​The warm red bean dessert is another winner, delicious whether you order it hot or cold. The cafe uses an efficient touch screen ordering service, but the friendly staff are always there to provide warm service. Great value, great flavor!“

“please hire more workers if rushes are going to make the wait for ice cream more than 30 minutes …. the ice cream is so good besides that. but it’s clear that having only one person making the ice cream results in wait times that are unreasonable for even rolled ice cream …. i get that rushes happen and a lot of people can come in at once but then be honest about wait times before i pay….“

“Best breakfast burrito I've ever had.“

“Good coffee, awesome smoothies( my favorite is the strawberry and banana) real, fresh, and delicious donuts all the time. Also, try the different breakfast sandwiches. Your tummy will appreciate it. And a lucky spot to play and win California Lottery“

“Supporting local business in Emeryville. Note that this place is on Christie opposite to FedEx, not inside the public market.

The noodles, while not the best pho in the bay area, they are decent. Both noodles they served came with delicious broth. Unlike many pho places, these didn't leave you with a dry mouth. Wish their beef can be softer and more tendered - that's the only (but critical) place to lose shine. You know - always room for improvement. Can't wait to come back and try their banh mi.“

“This is my go-to boba shop at Berkeley! Out of all the shops I've been to, the quality here has been the most consistent. Always has a quick service, tea is perfectly balanced, and boba is the perfect sweet treat to celebrate the end of another week :)“

“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.“

“im a brokeass student and everyday is a living hell for me because of the hotass weather plus my horrible grades😭😭

i went to QTea Bar for the first time and honestly - ITS NOT BAD FOR A PERSON WHO ONLY HAS $10 AT THE MOMENT LIKE ME.

basically, its a small place - however they offer a lot of items on their menu! the one on the picture is the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba, which costed $7 dollars (I DROPPED MY JAW AT THE PRICE, BUT ITS FINE I GUESS?)

i chose Normal sweetness level and was expecting a nice sugar level, but was instantly kicked with a flavor that felt like 10 spoons of sugar on my mouth😭💔

i suggest letting it dilute for a little bit and drinking it, because the sugar really was kicking me 🫩

im used to the “normal” amount if sugar level since im a sugar-tooth, but if youre an adult, i suggest 50-75% sugar - also the toppings (boba, etc) are $0.50 — which is an okay price

the employees are super nice, they only had 2 people working at the time i was there - so i believe its a small business run by them

overall; great service, nice menu, small place but functional!

5/5 in my opinion, if i were bias, id give 3.5/5, but they were kind :)“
