43 Best Bubble Tea near San Pablo

“So happy that we live so close to this boba shop! Their boba is some of the best I have ever had. It is a little chewy on the outside, but soft on the inside. The drinks itself are tasty and the guys behind the counter are super friendly! It is heavily decorated in Pop Figures, so it is fun to look around while you wait for your item to be ready.“

“I never review anything , I have come to this place multiple times a week for weeks now .. I love their wings and seasoned fries . As a wing lover they are a step above wingstop Buffalo Wild Wings or any wing I have had. I appreciate the great customer service the food is soooooooooooo GOOD puts me in a good mood everytime I eat there.“

“If you like to have something totally different from traditional drinks, this is the right place. There are about 50 different types of drinks, order them with boba so that the flavor improves and it is not expensive, only 5 dollars per large glass.“

“I went to other Hawaiian bbq places before and this place beats them. The food tastes amazing and fresh. The portions were really good for the price. Service was also great.I will definitely be coming here again if I feel like eating Hawaiian bbq.“

“Highly recommended! Great food and friendly owner.“

“Easily our favorite find since our daughter started school at UC Berkeley. The people there are so down to earth so kind. The food is amazing all the empenadas we have had are delicious. The Boba drinks there are so different than your run of the mill Boba “

“Such delicious boba tea!! The staff was incredibly helpful—we brought our kids and they helped us figure out what would be appropriate drinks to give them (no caffeine, no sugar level but added sweetness from the fruit). Great prices, too!

Kid-friendliness: Can adjust sweetness, ice amount, and choose a non caffeinated tea or sparkling water to use“

“I enjoyed visiting Cha Thai tea! The employees are always very welcoming and helpful with their recommendations. I really enjoyed this drink (I think it was a coconut avocado special? I forgot to look at the exact name of the drink) and pandan custard toast. I also enjoyed the mango coco the previous time I came here. They have a smaller, simpler menu that's not too overwhelming but the ingredients seem very fresh and tasty! I'll definitely be back!“

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

“I went for the first time recently because I love trying new boba spots, and it was really good! I didn’t get a chance to try the food, but I got the passion fruit green tea with brown sugar boba and lychee jelly, and it was super refreshing! The aesthetic of the place is really cute as well! Definitely coming back to try more drinks!“

“This is one of the best boba place in Berkeley, it’s very close to the Southgate/sather gate of UC Berkeley. This place offer great variety of boba, some of them are nice, but some of them have weird taste lol. Whenever I visit this place, I always try the new variant, that’s why I ended up with the weird taste ones ? but yeah overall I like the boba, if you want a safe choice, just pick the original one. The price is a bit higher than other boba places. And yeah, They have 3-4 tables for seating area.“

“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“

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

“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...“

“They have a lot of choices and you can mix and match as you please. You walk in and order on the order pad. You put together your drink piece by piece - providing a lot of possible combinations. You then pay and wait for your drink to be made - which happens rather quickly. The end result is pretty good! Note: There is plenty of seating inside.“

“My top 2 favorite boba place at Berkeley! The Phoenix oolang with mochi is just impressive! Strong tea flavor combined with unique mochi topping! Always come back monthly!The only thing is that parking in the area is a bit difficult but that’s not really a ding for this amazing place!“

“Mondo yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Kuya Rod“

“I have been going to Tay Tah cafe for years. Their Breakfast Energizer smoothie is my go-to lunch meal and my husband loves the Banh Mi sandwiches. We are so lucky to have this wonderful cafe in our neighborhood! The owner and employees are super friendly too!

Vegetarian options: Breakfast Energizer smoothie is delicious and filling.“

“The Best of the Best with the owner making the rating of her shop a 5 star! Yes, Michelle is very kind appreciates all customers walking in to make their order. What's even convenient for many of us who needs distraction as we wait for our order, there is a lotto scratchers machine. If your feeling lucky like I did... spent $30 on 1 scratcher and won $100. True story. I recommend their Avocado smoothie. The best Avocado smoothie in the Bay Area. I don't care and don't wanna hear it. Don't waste your money anywhere else. Go to Tapioca Cafe. Michelle makes the drinks better than her associates behind the register. She just knows how to make it. She's in the Boba game for over 10 years. Her donuts are made in house , not her house but at the shop very early in the morning. She's there all day every day and has the best kindest heart you will get to meet. Very professional, clean store. I could go on but I do have to mention that she is very Humble for a business owner. Mostly she could be seen in the back making sandwiches and washing the dishes and utensils that customers and associates have used. Her associates are just as hard working as she is, which I really don't mind tipping them in the tip jar every time I pay them a visit for my yummy taro smoothie. If you mention to her in question "Who's got the Best of the Best Avocado smoothie?" That's the secret 50% off . It only works at lunch and has to be mentioned before making your order at noon up to 30 mins after that, forget it. You'll get the... are you slow look. Don't take it personal, she gives me that look all the time then she breaks into her natural smile.“

“I ordered the strawberry colada smoothie with boba which tends to have the boba stuck at the bottom. This led to me shaking it to mix it up like most other boba places but the lid came loose and the drink spilled everywhere. The customer service was the best.

They offered to remake the drink and gave me plenty of things to help clean myself up as well as make the situation better as a whole. Best drinks in boba as well by far. Will continue coming here for the rest of my time here at Berkeley!“

“The mushroom tofu spring rolls are something worth writing about! They're quite flavorful, yummy, and light. It's a perfect on-the-go meal, and such a reasonable price. And the service was great! I'll be back to try their other vegetarian options.“

“Really good bubble tea! I always get the Thai Tea, Less Ice, 25% sweet (50% if I really need a sugar rush). Order online via the web site (they take apple, google pay, and Cash App.) usually done much faster than they say it will take. The cups do seem quite recyclable, just wish the straws were too! If they had 100% bio-degradable/compostable/recyclable set up would be 5 Stars.P.S. If you are used to other bubble T's I would start with 75%-100% sweet and work your way down to 50%. I find 50% to be perfect but I don't eat/drink much sugar.“

“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 :/“

“Best breakfast burrito I've ever had.“

“The first time eating this and it was amazing!!!! Delicious Delicious Delicious“

“Super awesome authentic Hong Kong style desert. Love all durian and mongo dishes!“

“Excellent attention☺️
You can choose the level of sugar in your drinks, I recommend Taro with oat milk.
I recommend asking for more ice for your drink because it was a little hot.
The place is nice.
Size is big“

“I am INLOVE with the atmosphere. Walking right in, the smell of sweet tapioca made me instantly love the place. They even had board games under the table. It'd be a great place to hangout with friends. The people serving seemed to have their own enthusiastic energy that was quite welcoming. I'd love to come again.“

“OMG I could spend wayyyyyyy too much money in this place...and love every second of it! They have everything from a great selection of quality coffee, tea and fresh cheese to delicious bánh mi to beautiful gifts like handmade mugs and plates. And everything in between. It's located in the cutest little hillside town. Ambiance is lovely. Kinda makes you slow down and enjoy the little things in life. I'll definitely be back!“

“The Alley was popularized by a Korean drama with Lee Minh Ho. I'm not a huge boba fan, so the drinks were ok to me but their boba is chewy and tastier than other boba.My brother likes to add a splash of Hennessey to his royal tea.Was told this is the only location in the Bay Area. Yes, one in Elk Grove but that's not the Bay.“

“This location has been a boba shop for well over 10 years now, It went through different owners and different names, but in general has always been good.

That is still true today, the drinks are tasty, popcorn chicken is very good here. and they also have other snacks such as fries, fishball etc.

it is pretty inside, clean and well decorated, you can see the pictures of the interior.“

“My husband enjoyed his drink! Very strong blend of Vietnamese coffee with cream puff. Yummy!! This novelty drink is priced fairly.

Superb customer services too! Warm and friendly greeting from the moment we walked in and until we left. I highly recommend to give them a try if you are in the area. I would absolutely visit them again when we are in town again.“

“Refreshing tea. Good customer service. It's a great community of people.“

“Omg best corndogs(the potato original and cheese and a bit of sugar dusted ?) I’ve ever had in my life and it was very reasonable priced. Also their strawberry ? lemonade with popping boba pearls is just ? Milk tea is delicious too. The young lady working the register is very nice and patient with you while ordering. I’ve yet to try their mochinuts but they look beautiful and delicious!It is small inside so you may want to avoid the time all the school kids gets out. Otherwise it’s super cute and very clean inside.My family and I are so happy they’re in our community and look forward to eating there very soon!

Kid-friendliness: It’s super cute inside and they have lots of sweet or savory options for kids and teens.“

“One of our go to spots for a cold drink on a hot day. Love the watermelon slushy. My husband almost always goes for the mango. And today the little one got a strawberry banana smoothie.They also offer snacks like lumpia, French fries, or mozzarella sticks.They remodeled the interior. The venue has a more modern interior with lots of places to sit. They also offer board games to play while enjoying your food.“

“I LOVE happy lemon. This is one of my favorite boba places for a fruity drink. The blended lemon drinks, which are unique to happy lemon, are my favorite. I like sweet drinks, and I'd say 100% sweetness is pretty sweet. Occasionally I'll get a milk tea, though they aren't my favorite place for such drinks. I did learn recently that a lot of drinks have sweetened condensed milk, even if you sub soy milk for the regular milk. So for anyone lactose intolerant, be sure to confirm while ordering. For this reason, I'd recommend another shop for more milk tea options.“

“Asha has always been and will continue to be my favorite matcha shop in the Bay Area. I’m so glad we have this place and the quality / selection here never disappoints. I first started coming here while a student and now that I’m still in the Bay, make sure to stop by whenever I’m in Berkeley as this is truly the best.

The drinks use high quality matcha and taste delicious. They also have a hojicha option which is a bit more hard to find and tastes equally as amazing. The interior of this spot is very cozy with minimalist Japanese vibes and large ceilings.

Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“My experience at Sharetea in Berkeley was nothing short of phenomenal, particularly due to their creative collaboration with ATEEZ fans for a cupsleeve event. As an ardent fan of the K-pop group, I was thrilled to attend a gathering that celebrated their music and brought fans together. Sharetea went the extra mile by infusing the cafe with K-pop-themed decorations, playing ATEEZ's hits, and offering exclusive merchandise. The ambiance was electric; you could feel the excitement and camaraderie among fans. The cupsleeve event was like a mini-festival, complete with photo opportunities and social interactions that made it a memorable day.

What impressed me the most was how seamlessly Sharetea managed to balance the bustling event with their usual level of quality service and professionalism. Despite the crowd, the staff remained attentive and patient, ensuring that everyone felt welcome and well-served. The drinks were consistently delicious, showcasing the quality that Sharetea is known for. Their bubbly enthusiasm and warm interactions added a personal touch, making each person feel like a valued guest, whether they were there for the event or just to grab a quick drink. It's this elevated level of service that distinguishes Sharetea from other establishments.

In addition, the logistical execution of the events was impeccable. Sharetea seamlessly integrated the ATEEZ-themed activities without disrupting the regular flow of business. This coordination not only kept the fans happy but also ensured that the other customers were not inconvenienced. They managed to create an inclusive environment where everyone could enjoy their time without feeling overwhelmed. Overall, Sharetea's ability to host such a specialized event while maintaining their high standards of service speaks volumes about their dedication and versatility. This experience solidified my admiration for Sharetea, making it my go-to spot in Berkeley.

Parking: I would park at the parking structure on Telegraph — first 90 minutes are free!“

“The Newark location has great atmosphere, very friendly people, and boba always taste great! The Dirty Boba is fire....LITERALLY!!!“

“We have tried all the boba places in town and this is our kids' favorite due to the flavor and texture of the boba. The fruit teas are nondairy, and the milk teas can be made with nondairy milk. Our favorites are the brown sugar pearl latte and the mountain tea.“

“My daughters love boba. Eventually, after trying different drinks the kids had ordered, I was ready to try a new boba drink... And I hated it. The flavor was great, but the toppings in the drink didn't have the texture I was expecting.

I could not drink it. My body wouldn't let me swallow. (Completely a me problem, because my kids thought it was fine.) But I was unhappy about it. The gentleman behind the counter switched it out for my regular order at no cost. (Thanks again! I really appreciate it!)

We can walk here, and we like to visit as often as we can. The people are wonderful, and the drinks are good.

Very happy with Toco Tea. ?

Parking: There's a nail salon, and a barber shop in the same building, and it's not a very big lot. Time of day will really effect the parking.“

“drinks are always good and it’s never a hit or miss. i always get the same thing but it’s always good or better than the last time never a one hit wonder! the sandwich i got which was the turkey avocado sandwich was okay. a lot of avocado and onion but little turkey. i’m sure you ask for your specific topping preferences that wouldn’t be a problem. found out about this place a couple weeks ago and have been a regular ever since. my new favorite boba place ever since the first time i came. highly recommend! (the boba in the picture is the devil zang zang, if you like boba and oreo and don’t know what to try definitely get that. it’s also the middle boba picture on the window.)“

“Was taken aback by the empty store front with signs but no displays. Idk if they’re just robbery cautious or what but visited because of locational convenience.Ordered a dozen - was ready in under 10 min Altho no status update was given and there was no staff. 5 stars for the donuts - they’re better than Mochill or any of the other competitors/places I’ve been to within the state.The glazes were really tasty and not too sweet (I got 8 diff flavors, favorite being Guava and Fruity pebbles). Donuts were super moist and springy without being greasy. It was a huge hit for the party I bought them for with both people who are mochi-nuts and ppl who’d never had them before. Definitely going back.“
