50 Best Bubble Tea near San Lorenzo

“Yummy food and great service!“

“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.“

“Found this cute little cafe and decided to try it out. It did not disappoint! The interior was cutely decorated with cats and plushes. Got the Brown Sugar Crunch Latte and it was amazing! The cereal on top made it feel like I was eating cereal with milk while also drinking boba tea at the same time :)“

“Ordered Hojicha Tea Latte, really liked it. Selected less ice, still felt like a lot ice in it, but I guess that's normal for the industry now. Just would be more careful when drinking it while driving, during the dark, and/or wearing light color clothes, since I think the cup cap design is a little easy to cause spill.
Anyway, the drink itself is really good, will come back and try some more“

“I like their CM teas, haven't tried their other items yet though.“

“I had a really great experience at Teaspoon in Hayward and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes boba or refreshing drinks. The shop was clean, the atmosphere was nice, and the drinks tasted very fresh. You can tell they care about the quality of their ingredients and flavors.

I ordered three different drinks so I could try a variety of flavors: the Lychee on Lychee, the Silky Strawberry, and the Mango Funtime smoothie with honeydew boba. The Lychee on Lychee was super refreshing and had a strong, authentic lychee flavor. It was sweet but not overpowering, and it tasted very light and fruity, which made it really enjoyable to drink.

Next, I tried the Silky Strawberry, and it definitely lived up to its name. It was smooth, creamy, and had a really nice strawberry flavor that tasted natural rather than artificial. The texture was very pleasant, and it felt like the perfect drink if you want something sweet but still refreshing.

My favorite drink was probably the Mango Funtime smoothie with honeydew boba. The mango flavor was bright, tropical, and blended really well into a smooth texture. The honeydew boba made the drink even more fun because each bite had a burst of sweet honeydew flavor. It added a unique twist that made the drink stand out.

Overall, everything I tried tasted amazing, and the drinks were well-balanced and refreshing. The boba and toppings were high quality, and the flavors were very enjoyable. I would definitely come back again to try more drinks from their menu and would recommend this location to anyone looking for good boba in Hayward.“

“Gong Cha is always a staple of mine whenever I am looking for boba and they happened to have a convenient location near shopping and some good restaurants.

Note: Gong Cha locations use a non-dairy creamer but beware, these almost always still contain whey which is a dairy derivative. It's a common misnomer so always ask for non-dairy milk if you are vegan like myself or adverse to dairy products/have an allergy.

In order to get a non-dairy drink, I was told to order from the Fresh Milk Menu. I did so with my Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Oat Milk and it was satisfying overall. It is indeed quite sweet even with 50% sugar so I'd advise to go even less if you aren't wanting a completely sweet drink.

Staff were friendly and helpful.“

“Came here with a friend and they had such interesting flavors! I got the plum tea with water chestnut boba and it was delicious 😋 My friend and I caught up for hours in the cafe and the owner/workers were so kind and offered us a mochinut! Delicious; so glad this place is nearby. Can't wait to come by again! :)“

“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!“

“I had a great experience at Happy Lemon! While waiting for my order, I noticed a young male staff member thoughtfully washing his hands after handling money from a customer. It was such a simple gesture, but it really stood out to me and made the whole visit feel even more pleasant and hygienic. It gave me even more confidence in how they handle everything. And of course, my mango matcha smoothie was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and just the right balance of sweet and earthy. Will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“I had no idea they have a MandRo Teahouse in Alameda but I'm glad it does. I normally go to the ones in Fremont and Milpitas so I know that people come here for Bingsoo (Korean shaved ice). Although it's using Korean name but I'm fairly certain the owner is actually Chinese. The shaved ice here is extremely fine and as a result super smooth and delicious. I prefer this over the coarse Hawaiian shaved ice.

My favorite is the matcha or original flavor but a lot of people seem to order the mango one.

This location seems to be much less crowded than the other places and has more seating as well. However parking can be a pain because of limited street parking and its location. You order through the kiosk and just wait for the number to be called.“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“my daughter love the shrimp lollipop 🤣🤣🤣“

“great place. got the creme brulee milk tea (25% ice, 50% sugar, +boba). one of the best i tasted, and im a boba lover so i’ve tried a lot of places. best boba place in fremont that i’ve been to. teaspoon used to be my go-to but i think i might switch to here.

only downside is the atmosphere was average, and the cushions for the seating area were kinda dirty, but i didnt stay for long so idrc lol.“

“Stopped by Truewin and had a really good experience. We tried two boba drinks, and both were good. We also got two desserts, and I’m not sure what they were called, but they were absolutely delicious. Overall, a nice spot and I’d definitely recommend it.“

“I like all the options, not syrup sweet - just right :) the appetizers are pretty good too. Open late too for those late night cravings.“

“It’s a Beautiful place the guys very Friendly and Nice costumer Service the Best Boba In the Bay Area. We loved and recommend ;they have a lot of flavors every fruit it’s Natural and the tapiocas so good 😊“

“Musubi Libre was a fun experience, $30 for 6 items and a coffee was a little steep for the sizes but the taste was on point. The Japanese egg was the moistest thing I've ever had. The owner greeted me personally and had a great attitude, keep on keeping on and follow them on “

“If you are into Ube then this is the place.“

“I love recommending Always Yours to my couples as a wedding planner! They have great rates, always execute a timely and well-designed delivery, and everyone loves their treats!

If you're looking for a great mini dessert vendor that offers great variety, look no further than Always Yours!“

“I love that Gong Cha is expanding their stores into my locality. Getting my favorite pearl milk tea had never been easier!“

“Ordering wasn’t easy. The online menu didn’t match the tablet in store. Spam musubi online is $5 but in store it’s $7.50. Online has brown sugar boba milk tea but in-store tablet didn’t have it.
We ended up ordering online, after they said to order online.

Ordering was painful but the food and drinks were great! Hopefully they can fix the ordering issues.

My son got the huge drink!! It’s a great deal if you like the same drink, $8.50 and you can share it.

Garlic fries and spam musubi were both great.

Parking can be challenging, it’s 3 hours free.“

“The cream brûlée milk tea is delicious! However, I wanted to try something new so I tried the coconut matcha drink, at first, I was nervous, but after taking a sip I was pleasantly surprised! The staff was also very friendly. 10/10 recommend.“

“standard drinks, i order the sweet potato fries, the staff is always really nice and treat me well - you can order at the counter or use the self-order kiosk for convenience (pictures, descriptions, tap to pay)

service is nice and orders come out in a timely manner thanks to the mom and pop that run this location, sometimes the cashier is a new trainee so please be understanding and patient, they’re just students

plenty of seating, ADA accessible

there is a public bathroom, please use it well and keep it clean

plenty of parking (street, garage)“

“The OG boba spot, a Union City staple. Been my favorite boba spot since high school and that hasn’t changed since. The drinks and the snacks bring a nostalgic and consistent comfort every time.

Shout out to the cashier lady who always remembers me and my order whenever I make a trip here, appreciate your service!“

“I had the pleasure of trying the lox bagel sandwich at Fairway Park Donut Shop, and I must say it was absolutely fantastic! This hidden gem of a place knows how to make a memorable sandwich. The lox was fresh and flavorful, perfectly paired with a soft, toasted bagel. The combination of cream cheese, capers, and red onions added just the right balance of flavors. It's a harmonious blend that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place has got you covered. I can't wait to return to try more of their offerings. Fairway Park Donut Shop, you've won a fan in me with your delicious lox bagel sandwich. Highly recommended!“

“The restaurant only for the reason of speaking another language within it the employees take Gonchi out of you is Can by the hair also they steal your belongings we made a case for the police“

“非常好吃，超愛煉乳銀絲卷“

“I work next door and i come in almost everyday to order a thia tea ice blended with a scoop of ice cream. Very nice kids that work there. I was getting a discount for working next door but not anymore for some reason“

“Hay Tea is a delightful spot for a refreshing drink! Their bubble teas are perfectly crafted with fresh ingredients and a great balance of sweetness. The menu offers a wide variety, and the staff is always friendly and efficient. A perfect treat to cool down or just enjoy!“

“Very professional and patient staff. I watched a difficult and aggressive customer try to intimidate the staff. They responded calmly, while still offering to help the difficult customer with an order.
I recommend people support this small business“

“Loved their mango blizzard drink. It was tasty and had a great texture to it. Would definitely recommend getting that drink.

We also got some of their fried chicken. It was very juicy and crunchy. I loved it a lot. If you are hungry, definitely try the chicken.

Parking is rough here so get the first parking spot you can find or try the free lots. It’s alot of one way roads here so be careful with driving.“

“Great boba and croquettes. Strawberry+banana smoothie was perfect. Really pleasant and fine ice texture. The brown sugar boba was tasty and perfect texture. Also some of the pearls were cold enough to firm up perfectly, reminiscent of a frozen strawberry or other fruit. The croquette was cooked crispy and included katsu sauce, I think.“

“The food was fresh and arrived quickly, and the staff were very friendly. Unfortunately, they were out of taro drinks, but the strawberry smoothie was delicious 🍓! Couldn’t ask for more. I’ll definitely visit again if I’m in the area. 😀“

“I live in Tracy and was craving bubble tea, my friend said that this is her favorite place to go to and she had a membership so we decided to go after church. There was somewhat of a line but it moved very quickly, a lot of people had the same ideas as us to come in for a drink. There was maybe four people in front of us but it only took about 2 minutes for us to get to the front, these workers move extremely fast and diligently. We ordered three drinks and my friend was able to get a reward which allowed her to get one free drink which was awesome. I had to take a few pictures in the store because I thought it was just so cute“

“Went here because we were in the vicinity and my daughter and her friend had an instant craving for Boba tea. So, my review of this place may not be complete having tried only a few sips I got from my daughter's boba tea (She took the Taro Milk with Boba, Popping Boba, and Coconut Jelly) but I loved the tea. Will come back to try out other stuff.“

“Very crafty, tasty, delicious boba drinks at a conventient Hayward plaza that has Cane's In N Out, Sprouts, Chipotle, etc...

The staff is very friendly and attentive. We were greeted right away and the cashier helped us order by answering all of our questions in detail. In the end I got a very delicious Dalgona Milk Tea Brulee with boba. I'll be coming back soon to try out more of their unique creations“

“This is the BEST i-Tea location! Clean and lots of parking spaces! Mango sago💛/ Milk tea with pudding🧋❤️/ Matcha milk tea with matcha pudding 💚/ mini egg rolls! 😋🫶🏻 Two weeks ago I ordered Delivery from DoorDash and I got the DoorDash exclusive insulated bag! 🫶🏻“

“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 :)“

“This place was a hit. It was a little hidden gem that my daughter and I stopped in after catching a movie at Southland Mall. They have a variety of tease lemonades and Boba drinks even some iced coffees as well and if you’re hungry, they have some appetizing snacks that you can grab like chicken strips french fries that you can have toppings of garlic fries or other seasonings and if you want something sweet they have something that I love funnel cakes. My daughter has something called a waffle on a stick, which is something that I’m interested in trying next time. The Nutella was creamy and it was warm and it came with a little side of vanilla ice cream. She loved it. It looks so yummy. I wish that I had gotten one as well. I can’t wait to go back and if you’re ever in the area, you should definitely stop by and grab one a bonus was that the girls were super knowledgeable of the menu and had plenty of tips to recommend. I only ended up getting a fruited lemonade, which was so good because the toppings inside were made from fresh fruits not those that were sleeping in syrup. I can’t wait to go back and try something new. The girls that worked there were super friendly and they provided great service.“

“Clean place, drinks are delicious“

“Great food & service. Highly recommended to all . Clean & pleasant ambiance.“

“Tasty Point is a really delicious Taiwanese/Chinese restaurant on Santa Clara. They have many hot pot options, but their other dishes are stand-outs too! Nearly everything we've tried has been super tasty. And their boba and other drinks are great.“

“This is my first time being in Alameda, California 94501. The drink was good. And the person who greet me and my boyfriend was nice to us. The wait wasn’t that long not to me. I like the music that they played. I ordered strawberry matcha latte with no ice due to me wearing braces. And I order strawberry shortcake for my boyfriend. And we both love it a lot. Overall it’s an A+“

“Egg coffee 10/10 , must try!“

“My husband and I just spent two weeks visiting Oakland and we discovered Gelato Firenza (near Grand Lake Theate) one week into our trip. Once we did we made a special trip there every day, and one day even went twice! It’s the best gelato we’ve tasted anywhere, and we’ve been all over.

We first had gelato 40 years ago in Rome and were delighted as it became increasingly popular all over the world. We’ve tried it in many places, but this is our favorite.

We learned that it’s all natural, no additives, and made on the premises daily by the owner, who is so devoted to getting the flavors just right that she often spends four or more days perfecting them.

We love the fact that it’s not overly sweet, so you can really taste the underlying flavors (and feel good about it having less sugar). They’re very generous about allowing you to taste before ordering, and the prices are excellent.

Our favorites were: hazelnut, salted caramel, strawberry and rose (which was so unique and delicious!) Others we tasted and loved included Earl Grey, Matcha, coconut, almond, Dulce de Leche, and cookies and cream, but every flavor we tried was truly delicious.

For reference I have only written two other reviews in my life: one about my dog’s veterinarian, and one about a hotel in Thailand. But this gelato is so special and the owner so delightful I had to pass the word on.

We can’t wait to return to the Bay Area for more.“

“If you are ever feeling under the weather and want to get something soupy/noodly- this is the spot to be. Ten Seconds will satisfy your soupy/noodly cravings. I love how their signature and simple R1: The Original Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles come in such a cute hot little pot along with little plates of side dishes that you can either opt in or out (also they have corn which is amazing). The pot is very hot so please proceed with caution* The pricing here is very affordable to their portion size and they have variety of choices for you to choose from. I have always enjoy the authentic chicken broth soup because it is very comforting and makes me feel like home. I recommend coming here if you are tired of eating pho because this place have good hot noods“

“Not the absolute best boba place but certainly the most bang for your buck if you want to order snacks and a tea. My orders are always ready pretty fast and anything fried is made to order and very fresh. Also, I've never had any mistakes with my orders, and I've been to this location over ten times. I especially like the tiger milk tea and the oolong milk tea.“
