Very tasty!!! 😋 Especially for the boba lovers

It’s just not good, I was surprised & disappointed. Tried a simple black milk tea with pearls, it didn’t taste anything like it should, more like watery milk and pearls. The blueberry mochi donut, was so artificial and too sweet tasting. Thought it was me, so I tried a strawberry horchata. It was undrinkable - painfully sweet. Also I don’t think I saw an indication that it’s a slushie? Had to toss all three items. The good: the mochi donut base seemed freshly made and the staff was great.

This specific location is THEE best boba in the whole Bay Area ! When I go anywhere else to ask for a Taro and Ube boba drink I’m always told they “don’t “ mix the two or “can’t “ when I first came across this place I fell in love because they do the two flavors together and it’s just so perfect and refreshing and SOooo good ! The staff is always friendly and it’s so nice and clean in there . I still need to try more things on the menu but I stick to my go-to I reallllyyy want to try the ice cream !

The employees here really make a difference! We ate here after pilates, and ordered rainbow mochi. They gave us rainbow jelly instead. We brought it up and found out they didn't stock rainbow mochi. We didn't ask them to remake it, but they were nice enough to bring out white mochi for us to eat! It was a great time. Thank you for the mochi and the excellent service!

I’m not one to waste boba, but I didn’t even finish my drink. The milk tea was just alright, but the boba was rather unpleasant—not much flavor or texture.

Some of the flavors of the mochi donuts were unique, like Biscoff, coffee, and black sesame, but overall they were just alright as well because the box I got had varying levels of freshness.

Overall, I would not come back.

Parking: Street parking or in front of other businesses a distance away.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not very wheelchair accessible with a small lobby.

I usually love this place but I brought my friend here last week and the gentleman running the place at that time was more that unwelcoming. First off, I want to start off by saying I don’t mind hearing some music when I walk in, but when the Spanish music is playing SO loud that I can’t hear my friend speak to me who’s standing right next to me in there then it’s too loud in there. Also we ordered our drinks and sat down. I noticed they have new stools that you can’t just pull out, you have to lift them up over a bar to pull them out to use them. Well my friend and I did, which we didn’t really want to touch because we have to put our hands on the underside of the dirty stools to even pull them out rather than just pull them out with our feet because of the bar down there. Upon leaving we didn’t want to stick our hands back under those stools to pick them back up over that bar to put them under the counter so we just slid them under the counter, out of the way but not over the bar. Before we even walked out we heard a SLAMMING of metal crashing together, when turning around to see what happened because it scared us the guy working there was picking up the stools and SLAMMING them OVER the bar giving me a dirty look because we hadn’t. We were the only two ones in there, it was his only job to make our drinks and put the stools backs correctly, what’s with the attitude? Super rude and doesn’t make this place look good. If he doesn’t like working in customer service he shouldn’t be there. Intimidating two ladies because he had to do one more thing he’s PAID to do.

I've been here several times. This time I got a Orange Dreamsicle. It tastes just like an orange creamsicle. I did not get it with cream/foam on top. It was sweet and refreshing on a summery day!

Wild and unique boba combos and it was delicious. Unique ordering system gives you a ton of customization for your ideal boba order. I highly recommend this place!

Quite disappointing for pearl milk tea. Was way too sweet, didn't taste any "Tea" tasted more like milk + boba. Will not come back again unfortunately.

Me and my wife were there this Sunday and we had really bad customer service from some short little man boy. We will not be coming ever again. Note to the employee you might not get that lucky being rude to some ones wife again! I understand a little man boy like your self will never have a beautiful woman in your life ever. All women should be treated with respect at all times loser. Also to the business owner you should not have people like that little boy ( loser ) working for when you have a great product.

What is even the point of having a boba place if you're charging extra for the basic boba drinks. It should just come included with as part of the drink just like every other good place. Super
