    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.

She must've misheard me when I said, oat milk, cause she started using whole milk after I ordered. I told her I have dairy sensitivities. And she said that is the only milk that she had. But this was after I paid for the drink... i've never had a problem at other locations with no other dairy options. ...there was also barely any Boba and half the drink was red bean. Very disappointed. I must've been fourth in line after a family, and three other customers were served before me. If you have dairy sensitivity, DO NOT come here. I do not recommend it.

Please consider a better system (calling out names, keeping drinks behind the counter, or handing drinks directly to customers), especially during rush hours.

I just was not sure if the floral flavor paired well with the red bean filling I chose for the inside of my fish-shaped cone. We also ordered their matcha soft serve, which used to be my favorite, but the matcha flavor yesterday did not seem as strong as I remembered. Other than that, my experience was really great. The store was nice and clean, and even though we had a party of six, we were able to get the largest table, which was perfect. It was also very well air conditioned, which felt amazing given the unusually hot weather we have been having in Concord in the middle of March. I would definitely love to come back again soon and order their ube flavor, which is my favorite.
