    Parking is limited. Nice interior. I had the Che bambu special #1, ordered with no sugar added. It's very refreshing with coconut water and basil seeds but a bit pricey $8. We ordered Vietnamese traditional coffee with less ice and added boba, the coffee is strong and a bit bitter, the way we like it, boba is soft, not too hard. The only downside is the coffee has too much ice, even we specified less ice when we ordered. Pandan waffle was average, it's soft, not crispy at all.

    Convenient location, but the drinks fell short. The ordering kiosk doesn't allow you to adjust sweetness or ice, and they lack basic black and green tea options. My refresher was overpowering, syrupy, and came with so little ice that it wasn't even cold. For the price, I expected a more balanced drink. I don't plan on coming back unless the menu becomes more customizable.

    This what this place provided me for Avocado Smash. 1/3 of the order for a full price of $10.50.

    Customer service is bad! OMG! I used to be a frequent customer until I have spoken to the manager about an order that mistakenly made. No care! In fact she was upset! Not only the price went up recently, the service went downhill too.

    Che is good, not too sweet. $9 for large size, but I would say that large is so regular sized.

    So refreshing on a hot day

    This place is so good, been a while since I came back. The #6, fruit addict. So refreshing on a hot day.

    This location somehow always skimps on the coconut milk. I will not be coming back here after this time. Poor service

    Bambū is the OG of boba places. I can remember having it when I first came to the Bay Area. Was in the area so we stopped in for a jasmine milk tea with boba and hazelnut mocha blend then decided to share a halo halo and waffle. The service was friendly and food came out quickly. There are several tables to seat and hang out. The music playing was set to a good volume and was super upbeat.

    Drink was very bland, I think they forget the coconut milk and sugar tbh. Atleast it came out quick

    Looking for something delicious and refreshing? Try Vietnamese Che dessert at BAMBU! Favorites are #6 Fruit Addict and #10 BAMBU Favorite. There are many so it all depends on what you like in your che. The menu is easy to view and breaks down all of the ingredients in each che. Each che's base is either coconut milk or coconut water. They even have a Halo Halo version I'd like to try out soon! BAMBU has boba drinks and smoothies too! Don't sleep on it. The front worker that helped us was very friendly. Our ches were made quickly. We got them to-go but there's a very spacious dining area to sit and enjoy your desserts or drinks!

    Taro smoothie, and a panda waffle (good)
    Khue M.

    Was craving for a smoothie, so I tried this place out. They have some of my favorite choices for smoothies including durian, and avocado, but I ended up with a large size of taro smoothie, and a panda waffle. The taro smoothie was super tasty, it have a lot of flavor. The pandan waffle was crispy outside, and mochi likes on the inside. It was also good. Though these 2 items were a lot of food for me, and I got full pretty fast.

    Unique south Asian ingredients and flavors. On a hot day, I was surprised to see nobody inside. My first time here, so went with a recommendation and got Bambu Favorite: Red tapioca: bright, crunchy little things. Quite unique as you don't normally see this in standard boba fare Grass Jelly: an acquired taste, well, there really isn't much taste. But I grew up eating this so very fond of its comfort appeal Pandan Jelly: by process of elimination, this must be the green colored jelly strips. Yummy - except I can't really pinpoint the flavor. Great color though! In the middle of it all is a sno cone surrounded by coconut milk. It's tricky to have to stir and mix everything but they do give you both a straw and spoon to help negotiate all the ingredients. In fact, it's so loaded with goodies that I can't really say this is a drink - more like a slushy cold soup. Looking forward to the next visit perhaps to try the Fruit Addict or Summer Delight. That's all

    Tasty popcorn chicken…read more Good teas. Lots of school kids in the afternoons, so if remember that if you go then, but the staff handles the sudden surge well.

    This is a small boba/coffee shop a few doors down from Sushi O Sushi. They have snacks, smoothies,…read morematcha, yakult, juice, sugarcane, milk tea, fruit teas, and coffee drinks. I've only ever gotten the coffee when I stop by, and haven't tried the bubble tea drinks yet. They make really good coffee drinks!!! Coffee drinks never disappoint. It's the reason for coming here. Ordering is easy with the kiosk. And the drinks are ready pretty quickly. The lady working one morning was so attentive, she even stopped by our table to make sure we liked our drink and offered to remake it if it wasn't to our liking. I really like their Sesame Coffee and Matcha Coffee. The Sea Salt Coffee is also not bad, I just prefer the other two more. Their mochi waffles are pretty good, too. It's easy to find parking here if you don't come during prime lunch or dinner time. I have no trouble finding parking when it's early before lunch rush, or in the afternoon before dinner rush. I can park right up in front of the store. Every time I stop by on hot days, I am reminded that they have no A/C and it feels really warm inside! They have fans in the seating area but it just blows warm air around. So while they have a good number of tables inside, the warmth makes it a less desirable place to hang out for a bit while enjoying your drink. Best to go early in the morning when it is cooler, if you plan on sitting for a bit. I do not think they have a public restroom; it wasn't obvious that there is one available. .

Pressed Juicery. The spot is clean, the vibes are "bougie-health-goddess," and the staff is actually super chill for a place that sells literal grass in a bottle. I walked in there and felt like I was entering a laboratory for people who never eat bread. The Drink-Down: Greens with Ginger: BOI, that ginger will slap the soul right out of your body.

It's delicious, it's vegan, and it's basically magic. The Shots: Little tiny bottles of "Immunity" that taste like a battery had a baby with a lemon. I love it. BUT LEMME ASK YOU: Do you go to Pressed and drop $50 on a "Cleanse" that's basically just fancy fruit water, or do you go to the grocery store, buy a bag of kale and a lemon for $4, and throw it in the blender?! Yeah. The math is mathin', and the math says I'm paying a 400% "I'm too lazy to wash my blender" tax. It's DELICIOSO if I do say so myselfo, and I'll definitely be back when I'm feeling fancy or my girlfriend drags me there after a workout... but my wallet is currently screaming in the car. Go for the Freeze, stay for the "I'm healthy now" aesthetic, and then go home and realize you could've bought a whole juicer for the price of three bottles! LuvYou ^______^
