Vegan review - Oat & Almond milk options; the boba was fresh and plenty in the cup! - Lots of Banh mi; I tried lemongrass tofu and it felt fresh with crunch to the veggies and the tofu had a nice spongy texture. - The staff were friendly to me and had a decent pace considering just two on the floor and steady foot traffic. - Very limited parking but easy to find I will be grabbing more when I'm in the area - yum! read more

Prices on board are still not updated after months. Have mentioned to staff repeatedly for months now. I got the B10 and B11. Both have been $9.50 from the system. They are $9.25 and $8.95 respectively on the board. Each time I mentioned, there's indifference, the last time was a cavalier attitude. The answer given is, "you want it or not". Not going here again. read more

I came to Oakland to deal with some tax issues in the afternoon and attend a Yelp event in the evening. I had not yet had a meal, so I decided to stop by here to grab a bite before the event, since I knew only light bites were being served. I used the in-store kiosk to place an order for the summer sunset tea (added boba) and lemongrass tofu banh mi. Upon taking my first sip of tea, I was surprised it had zero flavor. I stirred it some more, thinking it just wasn't mixed well but still nothing. At best it tasted like colored water with sugary toppings. I asked the bobarista if he'd mind remaking it. He kindly agree to redo it. On the second round, it came out looking way more vibrant, leading me to believe that perhaps an ingredient was omitted the first time. At any rate, I was happy they fixed my drink. Moving on to the sandwich, I found it incredibly hard to stomach, literally, as the bread was as dry as croutons. I picked at it but mostly ate just the filling. Honestly, I don't think this location is as good as the Chinatown location which closed and also not anywhere close to the same as Binge Coffee House in Berkeley. The best I can say about this place is that the staff are friendly and accommodating, but the drinks and food could use improvement. read more

A surprisingly good banh mi and Viet coffee spot located in Oakland. The Banh mi was super fresh with a crispy baguette and well-balanced fillings (Grilled Pork was delicious, and I love it with pepper, picked vegetables and cilantro). The egg coffee has a rich creamy flavor. I recommend getting it less sweet. Definitely worth trying if you want something fresh and different :) read more

Boba and popcorn chicken... I see why it's called Boba Binge. This review is based on a third party delivery order. The popcorn chicken was honestly some of the best I've had. Super crunchy on the outside while still juicy and well marinated inside. The pieces weren't tiny or all breading either, there were actual chunks of chicken. They also add basil which made it really aromatic and elevated the whole thing. It came with a sriracha style sauce on the side which added a nice kick. I also got the watermelon tea and it was super refreshing with real watermelon pulp. It still had a light tea flavor which balanced it out really well. I obviously won't be able to come here often since I don't live in SF, but next time I'm back, I'm definitely making an in person visit. read more

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place during a grocery shopping trip to Oakland's Chinatown. This place has fantastic Vietnamese sandwiches! (banh mi). I got a combo sandwich and got a grilled pork sandwich for hubby. Both sandwiches were fantastic - very fresh, the pickled daikon and carrots had just the right amount of crunch and sweet-and-sour tangyness and they were sizable too. I think it will be my go-to place for banh mi whenever I am in the area. I also got a ceremonial Matcha tea drink with aloe vera added which was deliciously refreshing. The place is very clean with helpful young employees working like busy bees. It is very high-tech where you can order off a kiosk and I appreciate the fact that you can personally customize everything, for instance I had extra daikon, carrots and cilantro put in my sandwich for a small up charge and you can also specify whether to cut the sandwich in half or not! (for free). All these little details make it a nice experience that you get exactly what you would like. And the banh mi was so delicious! read more

This business has been across the street from where I work, made a few visits and visited other boba places. Flavors are good, I ordered a Sesame Matcha Latte, a seasonal drink. A black layer of seasme on the bottom. The paste is so thick it does not blend. So you gotta dip the straw in the deep end to get the sesame flavor. Ordered a strawberry milk tea for my co-worker, and for myself ordered a Strawberry Matche Latte which was great. Ordering is easy, order online and you have all the options before you. I normally choose oat milk and less sugar. I opted for 50% and it was fine. You can also adjust the ice. There is a bench to sit at but most take this to go. Lots of turn over of people passing through. In the future I will have to try the snacks. read more

Gone are the days of $2.75 Vietnamese banh mi in Oakland Chinatown or anywhere...and you're lucky to find a delicious sandwich for under $9 Boba Binge is a more modern storefront and a contrast to the hole-in-the-wall spots in the area. Place offers various boba drinks and milk teas, Vietnamese sandwiches and fried snacks. The grilled chicken sandwich has a generous amount of pickled daikon and carrot, cilantro and slices of fresh cucumber. I liked the flavor of the chicken as it does have a dab of sweet sauce to it...good meat and veggie ratio and a good weight to it! It will definitely fill you up...a friend got 2 sandwiches and kept saying how full he was after! Popcorn chicken was yummy with basil throughout and garlic cloves. No sauce given except for a 2oz container of siracha-like hot sauce. Place set up for to go as a couple of stools for window seating and bench seating while you wait for your order. Kiosk to place your order or at the counter if you have questions...or if don't want cilantro. Friend said the kiosk didn't have the option for no cilantro and of course, it looked like they gave him the whole plant...there was a lot! Would visit again to try other sandwiches, snacks and a pandan waffle. Not big on the sweet Asian drinks but they definitely look good and quite popular from all the orders sitting on the counter. read more

Boba Binge was quite crowded during weekday lunch time. While most people took their food and drinks to-go, even the tables did not have space for all the customers. I waited around 5 minutes in line before I could order at their self-serve machine. I ordered the Tie Guan Yin Oolong Milk Tea with Honey Boba. They were quite busy, so I found out that my boba order was out before they were able to hand it to me. I enjoyed the flavoring of the milk tea along with the chewy boba! I appreciated the boba and their service, and I would love to try one of their banh mis or their pandan milks in the future! read more

It's been a while since I've purchased lunch here, with lunch being a sandwich and boba. Maybe I haven't been paying attention or the situation has changed a lot, but it's a lot more expensive now than a year or so ago. Not sure the overall value is there anymore, even though it is so tasty. The banh mi price has gone up $2 while the size has reduced. The boba size is the same and price gone up a bit as well. Put tax and tip in, it's a $20 lunch. Again, food is good. Probably the tastiest banh mi in Chinatown. It's just a bit pricey now. read more

I ordered via Door Dash and was told it was coming from the Uptown location, which is closed? Makes no sense. In any event, ordered because they have traditional topping like pate and some banh mi shops don't. They also gave me the opportunity to customize so asked for "extra pate." Great! However, the sandwich arrived on an old, stale piece of bread - simply awful and inexcusable. The Hokkaido boba tea was spot on. I tried to reach out to them before posting it but they make it almost impossible to find contact info - I was unsuccessful. I was hoping that this would be my "go to" place in the East Bay because I my shops in San Francisco but I won't order again unless they promise to do better. read more

The egg coffee was strong as Vietnamese coffee should be. It got better as I drank it when the egg custard layer on top missed with the coffee. Definitely would go back for the egg coffee again. They made the drinks quickly but then it sat in the little window for a while before an employee moved it to the pick up counter as the line to order got long. We just had to wait patiently for them to pass out our drinks. Workflow could improve a bit when they get busier. Cute little shop with limited seating. Very clean. Located in Oakland Chinatown and we found this cute mural a couple blocks away. read more

Ordered this to go for work and I would say that it didn't meet my expectations for a good sandwich. It all the cold cut meats which I really appreciate but the pickled veggies could use a little more pickling. Also I didn't like how the mayo and pate were on different side of the sandwich. I think usually it's a layer of mayo then the pate? The boba drinks were good but enough to satisfy my cravings I tried both the mango green tea and the brown rice. It's as expected your average boba but not to a point where I would not order from here again. Definitely better than other boba shops I've been too with the plus of meals/snack servings. read more

Small Vietnamese style boba shop in Oakland Chinatown. Their mung bean milk tea always seems to be sold out - I really want to compare it to 7leaves!

Current seasonal drink is the grape cloud. read more

Been here a couple of times Ordered: -genmaicha (roasted rice milk tea) -osmanthus oolong milk tea -osmanthus oolong tea All got around 75% sweet with less ice 75% sweet is actually a little too sweet whereas 50% sweet is too bland so I've found that it's best to get 75% and shake your ice so it helps water down the sweetness a bit. Overall very good bob, fast service, drinks are ready within like 5-10 minutes and you can order ahead on their website or DoorDash. My go to drink is the genmaicha. The osmanthus oolong tea is good as well but the osmanthus oolong milk tea is a bit bland in taste. read more

Average boba price are the same as other places; however the sandwiches are slightly below. Unless you added extra stuffs then it would be same as elsewhere. Front lady wasn't really friendly or smile possibly long busy day. I ordered grilled beef two grilled pork and combination pork cake. Everyone in my family said it was great. Didn't get to take pics of grilled pork. Mom finished it before I could get to camera. The crowd could be build up. There is one kiosk on the corner to order. I also ordered matcha tornado. Love it. The crunches of crushed Oreo were in every sip. Try them out!!! One less star for no big bag. I almost dropped them. read more

We came here on a weekend day and there was a steady stream of customers. There were a few seats at the window that people could sit at for a quick bite to eat. I ordered the lemongrass tofu sandwich which had a lot of good flavor. But I think the bread could have been more crispy and fresh. Might be because it was in the late afternoon though. The matcha sesame milk tea was very good. It was not too sweet. However, the cashier did not ask if we wanted boba and assumed we did not, which was annoying, since I think most people want boba when they go to a boba shop. read more

I was craving a Banh Mi that was walking distance and so many places popped up but this place stood out to me! Loved their creative drinks and their prices were reasonable! I got the grilled pork Banh Mi...as I was waiting for my order a man rolled in multiple bags of fresh rolls.... I knew it was going to be so good! The meat was flavorful and their veggies were fresh and the bread was perfect! The homemade mayo was a really great addition. I also got a watermelon tea!

Boba Binge - The Thai Tea is Definitely my favorite! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

The drink selection, flavor, and overall quality of the teas are great (watermelon reigns) but I think Boba Binge is slept on as one of the best places to get a Banh Mi! Personally I like getting the fried tofu, which never disappoints (the proof is in the freshness of the bread) but I've gotten good feedback about their meat options from family I've ordered with. Boba Binge has become a regular in my DoorDash rotation so I hope they stick around for years to come. I have only done pick-up once so I can't speak to the interior, but, the food and drink will keep us repeat customers! read more

Ordered a bunch of drinks because family was visiting: Strawberry slushee with boba and lychee jelly Mango slushee with boba and lychee jelly Grapefruit slushee with boba and lychee jelly Brown sugar with fresh milk with boba Cloudy mango (milk, mango puree, mango star jelly) I really like that you can specify a sweetness level for their slushees and caffeine free options. I didn't specify sweetness for anything except the brown sugar, for that one I asked for less sweet (it was perfect, love the salty sweetness with the cheese foam). Everything was great, next time I'd order all the drinks less sweet. My favorites were the brown sugar and cloudy mango. They're just across the street from I-tea (if the line is log or you want to try something new) and had a lot of great caffeine-fee options. read more

Unique, yummy drinks! Period! Enter the store to see a bunch of fake plants and green seats coloring the store. You have the option of a self kiosk or an employee to personally take your order. I personally prefer kiosk because you can see all the drink/food pictures and options in a more user-friendly way. From the kiosk, my sister and I ordered a guava matcha latte with boba and strawberry hearts, a rose lychee drink with boba, and spicy popcorn chicken. Guava matcha latte: so unique! you can really taste the guava, but I'm not really a fan of the mildness of ceremonial matcha. I wish the matcha was a stronger kind for my own personal tastes to balance out the sweetness of the drink. Boba was cooked PERFECTLY (I don't say this lightly) and the strawberry jelly was a greatly appreciated flavor and texture in the very smooth drink. Would highly recommend getting at 50 or 75% sweetness because it tasted pretty sweet at 75%! Rose lychee: my favorite of the two drinks. Got 50% sweetness and the flavor was very strongly lychee rose, and the perfect amount of sweetness to bring out the floral and fruity flavors. Any sweeter, and it would be hard to appreciate the flavors of the rose and lychee. Boba again, was cooked masterfully. Popcorn chicken (spicy): texture is good, but I've had better flavored popcorn chicken (needs more salt, basil, and depth of flavor overall). Could definitely go harder on the spice for the spicy version. Comes with sriracha. Overall, I enjoyed the drinks a LOT! I will definitely be back to try their other unique and seasonal drinks (: read more

This boba place is one of many in Oakland's Chinatown and it's one of the best I've ever tried! I'm someone who strongly dislikes artificial flavoring (who wants to drink candy?), and when I ordered the peach orange oolong tea here, it tasted fresh, just the right amount of sweet (I got 50%) and not artificial at all. They use actual tea here and you can taste it in the drink. I've heard nothing but good things about this place and am glad I finally got to try it! They also have a small selection of food items such as banh mi (vegetarian and non-vegetarian available) and popcorn chicken. I got their cold cut combo and it was very tasty, especially as leftovers the next day. Very easy place to get to once you're in Chinatown, especially if you take public transportation (some parking available but most is metered and has a time limit). Also located near a couple of notable restaurants so you can make a whole meal out of it! read more

While passing by recently, I saw that they were advertising blueberry seasonal drinks, so decided to order. I got a blueberry matcha latte with 25% sweetness, less ice, and the vegetarian banh mi, vegan/veggie ham version. In the latte, the blueberry tasted like preserves or jam which made it quite sweet, even for 25% sweetness. I'm assuming they probably couldn't make it any less sweet without having to take out the blueberry part entirely. While I would've been curious what fresh blueberries would've tasted like with the drink, I understand the choice of preserved or very sweet blueberries given it can help balance out the more bitter flavor of matcha. It was pretty good overall. As for the banh mi, I really liked the crunchy fried noodle bits, and the pickled radish and carrots were nicely sour. The veggie ham itself was also pretty good. The sandwich had some mayo, and overall it felt a bit more on the dry side, but I liked it and am happy that they have multiple vegetarian options. I picked out the jalapeno and it didn't taste spicy after that. read more

They have Vietnamese Egg Coffee here?! Honestly, it is rare to see egg coffee outside of Vietnam, I even have difficulty finding places with that item in the huge Vietnamese shopping plaza down in SJ! The Egg Coffee was not quite like the petite espresso shot + magic marshmallow-y cream they served in Vietnam, but it was nice to be able to order a hot or iced version of the drink that tastes similar but was just presented differently, more like a boba drink. I also ordered their banh mi, which was quite filling. The iced egg coffee and banh mi were enough to keep me full past dinnertime that day and it wasn't at a bad price! read more
