    Avocado shake with boba

    I stopped by after having dinner next door to see what this spot was about. When you first walk in you'll notice the counter and menu are further into the establishment which is good incase there's ever a long line. Lucky for me there was only one other person when I went. After scanning the menu I decided on an avocado shake with boba. Their boba is really good! This was my first time trying an avocado shake and it was okay I probably wouldn't get it again. You can tell they keep up with the cleanliness everything is pristine! I believe it was the owner who took my order he let me take my time with the menu and was very efficient in taking and making my order. I definitely want to come by again and try something else

    Time for a sweet break with friends. Good thing there were only 3 people ahead of us. Our orders were: Taro Milk Tea, large, 25% sugar, with boba, grass jelly and custard pudding. Avocado Smoothie, large, with boba. Taro Slush, large, with boba ans mango star jelly. Refreshing!

    The best spot for Bobas. Various choices which is a huge plus. Service is quick & courteous. The location and place is great. I have been there a few times with different boba fans & they were impressed. If you like bobas you need to visit this spot.

    Strawberry Banana Milkshake with Boba

    Was with my dad and he wanted to stop by Ranch 99 to grab something. I wanted something to drink so I found this place right nearby. Walking inside, it looked like they had places for tables and to hang at night for people. But because of Covid, all of it had to be removed. The staff wore masks and gloves. They have a pretty big menu on the side, ranging from milk teas, fruit teas, slushees, smoothies and milkshakes. They also had crepes and macaroons as well to order. I was recently on a tea binge, so I wanted to shake it up for this order. The lady at the counter today was very nice. I asked her how the milkshakes are made and she explained to me that they use Vanilla Ice Cream, milk and syrup. I decided to give it a try and got a Strawberry Banana Milkshake, Large size. Apparently some toppings are free, so I decided to get boba with it. It came out to be $5.50, which is a fair price. The drink itself wasn't anything memorable if I have to be honest. It tasted like how she described it to me. It was alright, albeit a bit expensive to what I really wanted to pay. The pearls were just okay and not the absolute best. But you can't beat free toppings. Overall, the place was alright. I might try their fruit teas or milk teas if I come back.

    Before the COVID-19 pandemic I came here so many times when there was a Frys Electronic. I remember when the board games were out for customer to play while waiting for their drinks. People can have social group meetings and have fun. What happen to those good ol memories? The boba drinks are amazing. The flavor of the drink does taste like the fruit. This place has great deserts!

    I was running errands nearby and decided to stop by Bobaloca for a little liquid treat. Bobaloca is located in a rather large shopping center with plenty of parking and shopping nearby. Their space is large but not enough seating, I figured this is due to the pandemic/covid. The staff greeted me right away and were friendly. The space is clean, and they have lots of options on their menu. I decided to go with Milk Tea Boba, which is a basic choice but it was pretty good. I'd like to consider myself a boba snob (just slightly lol)...I know a good boba when I try it. Bobalocas boba was pretty good, definitely not the best I've had but it was good and I don't have any complaints. I'd definitely come back to Bobaloca to try some of their other flavors in the future and will report back.

    My first stop on my 7 Days of Boba tour, is Bobaloca. Located in the Willow Pass Park and Shop, on the 99 Ranch side of the shopping center, it can be found right next to Steamboat. Of course, in this part of Concord downtown, it's literally surrounded with boba places right around the corner, so there's no shortage of them in this area. A preface to this visit, Bobaloca has been in this shopping center for many years now, and I had visited here many, many years ago when they first opened, and thought it was okay, and after a couple of more visits had never come back since. It's been about 5-6 years (rough estimate) since I've been back, and from the rumors here and there throughout the years, have certainly switch owners more than once. So this Bobaloca was not going to be the same as the one I had frequented years ago. With the current conditions, no outdoor seating, and no indoor seating, but the inside is quite spacious, and can have tons of people in line if it ever gets real busy. There was one employee working behind the counter, and he was sufficient with taking orders, and efficient with making the orders, so no complaints there. Pricing wise, it's comparable to most of the boba places around, but can be considered on the cheaper side since one of the perks is that they don't charge extra for the first serving of boba here. A good sized menu of drinks, so there's plenty of selection to choose from, and they have some specials too. Food wise, they do have some options available, but mainly the dessert side with crepes, and other sweets options. Now for the drink. The drink was actually pretty good, I ordered the classic milk tea, but it didn't taste like a classic milk tea in any form. While I actually kind of liked the flavors of it, I can't tell if it was intentional, or if it's an issue with the storage containers, or what's the cause for the misfit flavors of coffee in the drink. Again, didn't taste bad, but just not really a "classic milk tea" when it comes down to it. For some reason it just really hit the spot today though, so no particular complaints there. Boba was nice, a bit more on the harder side than the QQ side, but I'm okay with that since I like my boba chewier anyways. But if you're more of a fan of the softer QQ texture and not as hard, this may not be for you. All-in-all, better than I thought it would be considering reading some of the reviews through the years ever since I've been back here, but certainly exceeded expectations. Will be back to try some of the fruit flavor teas, but if those start to taste like coffee too, we may have a problem then. Well priced, and of course, no extra charge for the first boba topping.

    Pearl drink time!

    This is a cute little pearl drink shop hidden inside of the shopping full of eateries and shopping. The pearls are really fresh. I also like the ability to add flavors to the fusion teas. They have a big selections of drinks too. There are milk teas, fusion teas (tea with flavors), slushies, milkshakes, and coffee type beverages. They have a nice selection of macaroons behind the counter. You can also order shaved ice too. The establishment was clean and had boardgames set up on a few of the tables for customer's to play.

    I adore the motivation words on the cover.

    Let me start by saying I absolutely adore this place. I found this place on yelp and sent my…read moreboyfriend to pick up smoothies one morning on a whim. The first time got us hooked. The morning ritual is the best smoothie I've ever had. It's hard to balance health and flavor, but this was both healthy and incredible. They list the ingredients used in each smoothie, so you know all of what they contain. You can even add different boosters such as mass muscle, etc. It's located inside of a gym, to the right side of it. Don't be thrown off, you don't need a membership to enjoy the fantastic smoothies. The workers have been really sweet each time we've visited, and when we ordered via Uber it was ready upon arrival. One of the only drawbacks is how expensive it is. I also really wish that they listed their nutrition facts online. For such a health oriented company it's shocking that they don't, and especially a company of decent size. The smoothies contain dates, nuts, etc. So although they are good ingredients they can be high in fats, so it's important to know. Our smoothie also has coffee as well which we enjoy, but knowing the caffeine content would be appreciated. My last order also had huge white frozen balls that were unblended in it which was odd, I'm not quite sure what they were. If the price was lower, we would come here much more often. It is a great way to start your morning, and makes you feel fantastic afterwards.

This is a huge portion... I had to freeze half of it for the next day. My family actually sent this to me (knowing that I do Yelp... And love smoothie bowls... smh). A bit out of the way for us being located in a smaller, residential shopping mall. But great for locals!

    Absolutely stupid experience with the Pleasant Hill Vitality Bowls location and corporate customer…read moreservice. We placed a Mother's Day order for pickup Sunday morning. My husband arrived around 8:10 AM, after the store's posted opening time of 8:00 AM, only to find the business completely closed with no communication whatsoever. No call. No email. No cancellation notice. Nothing. What followed was somehow worse. I called the store multiple times throughout the day and left several voicemails that were never returned. I also emailed both the location and corporate customer service and received no response. Corporate didn't answer their phones either. All of this over a $35 order that the business happily charged for but never fulfilled. Today, I went into the store in person to ask for a refund and was met with attitude and defensiveness from the manager instead of accountability or even a simple apology. I was told they "do answer their phones" despite my multiple unanswered calls and voicemails. I was then told they could not issue a refund because it had been "more than two days," even though the delay was entirely caused by their complete lack of response and failure to handle the issue. The store being unexpectedly closed is frustrating enough. Ignoring customers afterward and then treating them poorly when they ask for their money back is unacceptable. I'm still waiting to hear from the "other manager" or "boss" who is supposedly able to process my refund. Who apparently already had my information but was "too busy" to respond to me sooner. Give me a break. At this point, it's not even about the $35. It's about the complete lack of professionalism, communication, and basic customer service.
