Great boba option in a more hidden plaza. I like to stop by when I’m charging my Tesla at the Superchargers next to it. I usually get the grapefruit or strawberry fruit tea and an order of popcorn chicken, which always comes out hot and crispy. They typically don’t have someone in the front so I opt to use the tablet to order. It works well enough.
I am new to Boba tea and I am trying different ones around the bay area. I tried Rare tea 2 weeks ago and though the workers there were great, the milk tea Boba was not. I could *barely* taste the tea and the stores go to is fake milk which is gross. So, because the workers were great I thought that I'd try a mango tea Boba and so a friend of mine got me one today... all I can say is where is the Mango? It tastes like milk with cinnamon and at 7.25 it is the most expensive...
I gave 5 star a year ago because the Teapresso milk tea was my favorite drink in this area. It has a rich tea flavor with organic milk to pair perfectly. But recently the drink doesn't taste the same - the tea is not as strong and the milk is more watery. Maybe they changed the formula. One star off for this. I truly hope they can bring my favorite drink back!
