    Brown Sugar Pearl Fresh Milk
    Alice H.

    I ordered the Brown Sugar Pearl Fresh Milk and really enjoyed it. The fresh milk was creamy and paired well with the brown sugar boba. The pearls were chewy, and the brown sugar sauce added just the right amount of sweetness.

    Pistachio dream jasmine with no milk
    Erika C.

    4.5 stars rounded up. Fast service and got our group order pretty quickly despite the place being busy. This was my first time at any boba bliss. I got the pistachio dream jasmine without milk, with boba. At first the staff said I couldn't order without milk but the manager or owner was able to step in and assist. I ordered less sweet but with the boba and cream, I'd order again with zero sweet. Boba was pretty qq and warm. Cute and bright interior for sitting and catching up.

    Natural Ube Taro Milk
    Arianna C.

    This is a small little boba shop where you can chill with friends or get some work done while enjoying some boba. We ended up getting the Mango Sago and the Natural Ube Taro Milk, which were served quickly. The Mango Sago was very meh. It had a very artificial taste to it and just seemed to have syrup in it with Sago and Milk. Thankfully, the Natural Ube Taro Milk was better. It had the paste on the sides of the cup. So had a more natural taste to it and wasn't too sweet. Overall, quick service and meh drinks for the price I paid.

    First time at the CV location. I usually frequent the MV location and am big fan of Boba Bliss. After a hike at Lake Chabot, this was a needed refresher. Order at the kiosks or at the counter. This location is a $1 cheaper per drink than MV location. Same drink menu. I got the lemon green tea with less sweetness and less ice. Super refreshing and nice lemon flavor. Service was nice and drinks came out quickly. Parking lot parking

    Went in on a Tuesday afternoon and it was pretty empty. Ordered via the kiosk/iPad because it was my first time and I like going thru the menu. They have a lot of good and unique drinks, such as Pistachio Matcha which I'll definitely try next time. I got the mango sago and it was delicious. Super creamy, not too sweet, and had plenty of sago. My mom got the brown sugar milk with no boba and she enjoyed her drink as well. Simple but good. Our total was about $14 before tip. The inside has plenty of seating which is nice. Service is quick and our drinks came out in like 3 minutes. We sat and chatted for a bit but the music was a bit loud and they were playing Rap/Hip-Hop which I love, but was a bit much when we were just trying to chill and chat. Overall, would be back for the drinks but probably not a place to hangout as it's loud.

    Boba is soft and not overly sweet. Fast, friendly service. Our phone # to earn rewards for a free drink. This location had VERY LIMITED parking, beware.

    Matcha Mango Sago  Jasmine Milk Tea with Pistachio cream
    Michelle T.

    Updated review for their new Lychee Jasmine Milk Tea Special this summer! The lychee flavor is so tasteful without being artificial and pairs well with the lychee jelly. I thought it was perfect at full sweetness. My go-to refreshing drink this summer.

    I simply don't understand how you operate. I ordered black Thai milk tea, but you prepared green Thai milk tea instead--even though the label on the cup clearly stated "black Thai milk tea." This isn't the first time you've messed up my order; it's the sixth time. When I called to complain, you claimed not to know what happened and said nothing could be done because I had already taken the order away.

    Strawberry mint green tea

    Got the strawberry mint green tea -less sweet, which was refreshing with ample strawberry bits throughout the drink. Fast service. Pricing on their ordering tablet doesn't fully match the posted menus FYI.

    natural uh taro milk
    Lara C.

    One of the best ube taro drinks I've ever had! This was my first time having Boba Bliss in six years and I had to stop by while in the bay! I ordered ahead of time and my drink was ready when I got there. I ordered the natural ube taro milk and this drink was so goo! You can definitely tell they used real ube in this drink. The hint of taro also made the drink refreshing. I was so happy to try this again after a long time. I hope to com back again whenever I'm in the bay! :-)

    I've been going to Boba Bliss since their original location in San Ramon, and I am SO happy to see them thriving in their Castro Valley location! We popped in here for a nice cool treat on a Sunday afternoon. The kitchen was hustling and bustling, but a worker saw us walk in and immediately came up to the register to take our order (even as he saw us approaching the iPad). Such a nice touch when most people would prefer ordering through an iPad. My matcha latte was delicious, and the space was clean with plenty of tables to sit at.

    pistachio jasmine milk tea
    Amanda T.

    I've been coming to the Castro Valley location for a while now since they've opened! One things for sure, Boba Bliss has consistency on lock, no matter which location you visit. You always know you're going to get a good drink. Lately I've been having the pistachio cream jasmine milk tea. It's light, creamy, with a hint of nuttiness. This place gets pretty busy on weekends, but the turnaround time is pretty quick.

    Pistachio jasmine dream
    Angeli S.

    Was craving boba and decided to try out boba bliss. I heard that parking is a bit hard so we did end up doordashing. Ordered one of their seasonal drinks: pistachio jasmine dream and it was super delicious. It was a light drink and the pistachio cream on top was just the right amount of sweetness. I did order the drink less sweet in case the cream came out too sweet but it was perfect. The jasmine paired really well with the pistachio flavor and I totally enjoyed the pistachio bits. Can't wait to try another drink!

    Neighborhood Coffee is one of my favorite cafes in all of the Bay Area. Just don't tell anyone…read morebecause I want it to be one of our best kept secrets. Shhhh...! (It was worth the 13 mile drive for me.) With floor to ceiling windows welcoming in the comfort of daylight and warmth of Californian sunshine (thank you A/C), this cafe sits high above Castro Valley overlooking the distant hills and the bay, depending on where you sit. It's in the front space of a church and upon walking in (my third visit), I feel held by the Lord. Strangely, I'm feeling tears well up because this is the exact sort of space I've been needing as I go through some challenging life circumstances. It is peaceful here but it also has a vibrant community energy on a Thursday late morning. This space is welcoming to all of the bay are community and if you didn't know it was a church, you would never know. It's for the whole neighborhood and beyond. There are tall round tables, bar tables, normal round tables, armchairs at tables, long barnhouse style tables. This space was thoughtfully curated to allow for relationships to be grown, work to be done, and quiet time to be experienced. The Americano I had is nice and strong (whoowee... I'm awake now!). They had interesting drink options and some baked goods. Prices were average for the Bay Area. I love that the cafe supports community outreach. From the web, it partners with this church and community programs. It seems to operate around community support and social impact initiatives. I love that they actively support Inclusion & Autism awareness and medical debt relief (WOW!). This is a cafe that is doing it right!

Service just ended so a lot of cars were leaving as we arrived. Don't recommend getting in line right after service because I waited over 30 minutes just to get two drinks. The lavender lemonade was very refreshing and not too sweet. The matcha latte on the other hand tasted watered down, so I could barely taste the matcha, super disappointing. It was a nice and sunny day so we decided to sit outside. The inside was very spacious, but I was overstimulated from all of people talking, especially when I was waiting in line. A good spot to stop by to grab a drink and enjoy the view outside if you're in the area. Glad I meet the time to check this place out.

The Castro Valley one is super tiny, no indoor seating and really only enough room for about 2-3 people to line up to order for the inside. It's a bit too tight in there for me. They do mostly Asian inspired pastries, mostly using croissant dough in all kinds of creative shapes and sizes. Even though many things don't fit my preference as I'm not big on savory pastries or ones that have meat in them, they do make some attractive and unique looking pastries. So I get it, why people line up for this. But I have tried several sweet type pastries and here are some notes. Custard Tart ($4/5*) Probably one of the best egg/custard tarts I've ever had. This is one of the simpler things in their display case. This is literally a flaky pastry and a well made custard filling. Most everything else in that display case is 2-3 times bigger and much more going on with fillings and decorations. I like simple pastries so this hit on my sensibilities big time. The custard was smooth and not too sweet, very Asian in sweetness. And the best part was the crust, it was so flaky, light and buttery. 10 times better than any egg tart I've had a Chinese or Portuguese bakery. Almond Danish ($7.50/3.5*) This is one of their more elaborate creations, even tho this is somewhat simpler than many other pastries they have. But this name doesn't really correlate with what I tasted, there is a lot more going on. The pastry part is in the shape of a muffin, but the texture is flaky like a croissant, maybe slightly more dense than a croissant. Then there may be a small amount of almond paste in the middle, but there were a lot more of this coffee cream. This was too big for me to eat in one sitting so I split it in half. It was decent but it definitely isn't an Almond Danish. Lol Strawberry Croffle ($5/5*) I love true Belgian/Liege waffles made with a yeasted dough but cooked til crisp in a cast iron waffle press. Not sure if this is Liege style but it carried a lot of the characteristics of one. Crisp from caramelized sugar being cooked in the exterior, nice chew in the center and garnished simply with a strawberry cream. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Cold Brew ($4.25/3.5*) I didn't love it, but it wasn't bad. It tasted better if drunk with one of their pastries. Alone I wouldn't do it again. But as a companion with a pastry, sure. I'll round to a fiver cuz service is usually pretty nice and efficient. And even tho 75% of the things here are too busy and complicated for me, the simple things I have tried, really schmacks. So a fandom has formed.

It's in a corner of a very cute gourmet food hall and had a good selection of goods left in mid-afternoon on a weekday. Service is also friendly and prompt. I had to get the kouign amann because I always get one wherever I can, and also picked up a plain croissant, currant scone, and panna cotta. The KA was decent; I would call this one a diet KA because they only put the sugar on one side so it was more like a brulee'd croissant. I also have to admit that, while this shaping is very attractive, the direction of the lamination makes eating this feel like shards in my mouth. However, flavor was excellent. The plain croissant is very plain. It's decent but I've had better. The scone and panna cotta, however, were delightful. Both had lovely soft textures and wonderful creamy flavors. The scone held up for two days and wasn't even a bit stale when I finally had it for breakfast. Highly recommend this tucked-away bakery in the Castro Valley!

Seven Hills Baking Co was my first stop as I haven't had sourdough since childhood. I got their classic sourdough loaf. Even though it wasn't warm anymore it was still amazing. It was quite hard to cut into with a serrated bread knife, which I'm not sure whether that's normal or abnormal for gluten sourdough. However, the inside was lovely and soft. Nice strong sour flavor, spongy dough that was almost moist (not at all dry). I want to note on the gluten free front that seven hills baking co offers a few items which they advertise to be gluten free. Though the ingredients may be gluten free, the items are baked in the same kitchen, the same oven, and then put side by side with the gluten in the display case. Furthermore I don't believe their ingredients are all certified gluten free. Therefore I do not recommend seven hills baking co for anybody with celiac disease. Do not buy your friend with a gluten allergy or celiac these items. There is most certainly cross contact.
