    Cute spot super cool that it's inside a dnd store drink was good service was good only thing price is a little high!

    Front Entrance

    I recently visited the Boba Tavern, a new Boba store that just opened in Novato. I loved the easy to use kiosk as you entered the store. The staff is super friendly & helped recommend a selection for me. I went with the Orcish Delight with Brown Boba. It was delicious. It's cool how you can enter the store also through the game fortress. The boba store plays off the same theme which is so fun. Can't wait to go back & try out a new drink. Such a nice addition to downtown Novato.

    Bad service. Their teas are marked as you can pick sweetness. When you pick 0% sweetness it still…read morecomes out as sweet because the syrup they put in is sugary. I ordered a guava ice tea with lychee jellly and boba. It came out disgusting sweet. I asked for him Tj change it and he gave me milk jasmine tea. I said I want jasmine boba - then he came back with plain jasmine tea. No boba no jelly. Just frustrated. Why did I pay you $9.00 for this? And when I said thank you he said Ya! And walked away. Also just got home, put the udon in a bowl. It came with two fish cakes. I paid extra $5.00 for additional fish cakes that never came. RIP OFF.

    Review #012 - 2026…read more Our group of 11 showed up at around 2 PM on Friday, June12th. The guy, who appears to be the owner, was not very pleasant when we asked him questions regarding their drink offers. I try my very best not to drink artificial sugar or food color because it's bad for my health! He stated that they use powdered flavorings and syrup so I assumed they were artificial so I decided not to get anything for myself. The kids all got a drink and as you can see from my pictures, the colors are very artificial! They all said their drinks were just ok! One of my sisters is highly sensitive to sugar as it will affect her palpations so she asked if their matcha had sugar and the owner said, "no!" so she decided to order her avocado shake with less ice and added a scoop of matcha. Sadly, the matcha powder has sugar in it so she went to let the owner know and he gave her a terrible attitude saying that she was being hard to please. For someone who has no health issue, a little sugar won't affect them. However, if your body can't process sugar, it makes a world of a difference. He kept arguing with my sister and finally went to bring out the matcha package and sure enough sugar was listed as one of the main ingredients. If you are in the business to sell food, you should know what is in your food products before telling customers that something isn't in that item, just in case a customer has an allergic reaction. I am very forgiving, but I do not like people who are too lazy to check before telling me that something is or isn't in my food/drinks just for me to find out after I've already ate/drank it! The worst part is rather than apologizing for your own lack of knowledge, you choose to argue with your customer to make them feel belittled! We are definitely NOT coming back to this place! Minus 10 stars for poor customer service!

    Review #007 - 2026…read more This review is based strictly on their drinks since we didn't eat anything. My siblings & our kids showed up around 5:30 PM on Sunday, April 26th. We were greeted immediately upon arrival! Litchee, our cashier/bobarista was very sweet and patient while we each decided on what we wanted to try since it was our first time visiting this shop. She answered all of our questions, informatively, and didn't make us feel rushed. My brother and I decided on the avocado smoothie, since it was the only drink made with real fruit. We asked for 25% sweet and it was perfect. I'm glad that they use condensed milk versus syrup to sweeten this particular drink. We both enjoyed our drink! My daughter got the strawberry smoothie and she was pretty happy with her drink. But then again, she likes anything with sugar so it's not hard to please her. One of my nieces ordered the Tiger boba and the other ordered a banana milk tea. They both said their drinks were just ok in comparison to other boba shops. Litchee was very accommodating at making sure that the drinks were made according to our requests. We will definitely be back, if we happen to be in the area. The shop also appeared to be clean, which is important and seating was sufficient.

    This place is empty. No one comes here and I love this place. They make poke bowls too. The drink…read moreis $8.25 and poke bowl is $21, on the pricey side but I like it a lot.

I parked in the first open driveway, the same block as Oddcha, immediately after passing the store. Oddcha is located inside the archway gate of French Quarter on the left. A walk up window, with staff perched high closed behind, is where you retrieve your order. You can order in person from a screen or on their mobile site for pick up - I did the app. The ready by time was minimal and my order was ready when I arrived. I ordered the Twilight Taro ($7) with oat milk ($.80) and double boba ($1.50). The drink is a non caffeinated combination of taro and purple yams with fresh milk. When received, it did not resemble the picture from the menu. The drink was creamy, slightly thick, taro/purple yam forward, very flavorful and perfect with the less sweet option. I prefer no ice, I was only allowed a less ice option. The ice level seemed regular, consuming 3/4 of the cup space. They honored the double boba as each sip had ample boba to enjoy. With no one at the walk up window when I arrived, the staff was not proactive checking in on me. I had to knock on the window to have someone eventually acknowledge me. Not great considering two employees watched as I walked up and stopped in front of the window looking back at them. Besides that, it was an easy, flavorful experience. Not sure if I'd return, mainly due to parking. I am glad I checked out Oddcha, I was not disappointed in the drink chosen.

    I always stop by here here after I get my car serviced. My car gets treated, then I get a treat! I…read morefound out that it's cheaper to order at the kiosk, then order pick up from the apps. I wish their scoop of boba was more generous. I had to come back after I drank half my drink and buy another scoop. Btw, the photo is just one scoop. Other positives: oat milk option, perfectly chewy boba pearls Street parking is always a challenge. There are interesting characters that walk along the street. Some folks who you'd do a double take... I don't usually linger for long, and book it back to my car.

    Such a cute little shop! When you walk in, there's a self order touchscreen right by the entrance,…read morewhich makes things super easy. The lady working there (an older woman) was just the sweetest. She greeted us with a big smile, welcomed us in, and even thanked us for stopping by. It really made the visit feel extra personal. We tried a few drinks: the Mango Fresh Milk with boba was light, refreshing, and not overly sweet which is perfect for a hot day. The Iced Matcha with boba was smooth and flavorful; I loved that it actually tasted like real matcha. I did ask for less ice, which oddly came with an extra 85 cent charge, but honestly, it was still worth it. My daughter got the Kuma Blue Cloud Raspberry, which was creamy, fun looking, and caffeine free! It's definitely a nice spot to grab a good drink and relax for a bit. The only downside is that they don't have a public restroom, which was a little inconvenient. Still, we'll definitely be back for more drinks and that friendly service!

We have yet to find a boba joint that perfected their tapioca besides Tpumps in SF. I was very disappointed in their strawberry iced matcha. I was expecting fresh strawberries (as shown in the picture on the menu) however it was made with strawberry purée.. and A LOT of it too which resulted in the drink becoming thick in consistency. Personally not the biggest fan of strawberry purée only because it can sometimes taste too artificial. If I had known it was not made with fresh strawberries, I'd skip on it. Besides that, I definitely would like to come back again and try something new!
