    Menu 5/3/25
    Stephanie Y.

    Check the SnackPass app for their menu.. almost all of the menu pics are outdated so I came hoping to try items that they no longer have (super disappointing). Also, no cute cups.. cups didn't even have a logo, just order sticker. Order through the kiosk. So dumb that it defaults to add tip..for what?! No one helped me; not even sure the one worker would've been able to help me, since she appeared to be the only one working. I think they should have more than one person working/making drinks on a Saturday afternoon. I think I waited around 10 min, which isn't bad for someone working alone with 5 drinks ahead of mine but if it were really busy, I'd feel bad for both the worker and customers. Strawberry smoothie: kinda tasted like tart strawberry ice cream. I opted for regular (100%) sweetness, but would probably get it at extra sweet/125% next time. Peach oolong tea w/boba: I got it regular sweetness (100%) and really enjoyed it. Perfectly refreshing. Boba is that smaller, like medium-sized boba. It's not the regular large size, but not mini size either. I do prefer the larger sized boba because they're chewier, so I don't find these smaller sized ones as satisfying. Cooked well, though. While I enjoyed my drink, I would not drive out of my way to come here again. Current options aren't that unique. There are plenty of other boba places, so I'd only come back if I happened to be in the area and they had a good deal going on. Note: they also sell things like labubu (currently sold out), mofusand, smiski, etc.

    I was in the area for a haircut and this was in the same shopping center so gave it a try. I ordered a coconut pineapple smoothie and it was refreshing. Strong coconut and pineapple flavor. I got 25% sweet and it was probably too sweet. Next time I'll get 0%. Definitely recommend. 10/10.

    Taro Blush

    Anytime I'm in the area, I try to stop by this place. Their boba is some of the best in the sac area & they have a really clean seating area with lots of cute decor. I got the Taro Blush that comes with strawberry jam at the bottom and added strawberry popping boba and the mini pearls for an additional $.75 each. The staff was really patient in answering my questions and adjusting the drink as needed. The only reason I'm not giving a 5th star is because the cap of the drink leaked all over my clothes and car while drinking it (pictured) I would still come here again with lots of napkins just in case. Also I loved their gotcha machines! Very cute touch

    The place is super cute. I appreciate their seasonal decor. It feels like a new experience every time so it's never boring. Also just found out this place is dog friendly which is a plus! The employees are rather quiet and do their own thing. Would be nice if I was welcomed every now and then. Drinks are always consistent and very delicious. My favorite is the passion fruit tea with strawberry popping boba and lychee jelly.

    I've tried bubble tea from many places, but I think I finally found the one I really like--Bubble Tea University is officially my favorite! I've ordered their Mango Swirl twice already, and it's absolutely delicious. I even had one again last night because I couldn't resist. The shop itself is really nice, with clean furniture and a welcoming vibe. It's quiet and relaxing, making it a great spot to hang out with friends and family--or even a perfect place for a casual date.

    So a computer takes my order, and a computer wants a tip? You have got to be kidding me
    Rich B.

    January 2025. It's very sad nowadays, there's so many boba tea cafe nowadays, but they all run the same playbook! Step one, have a computer serve your order. Step 2, charge extra for anything additional you can think of. Step 3, minimize staff. This place is terrible, there was only 1 person working on a Sunday, someone said hi welcome in but they were behind a wall, so I was confused. If you are going to welcome me, like at least make sure I can see you. No one took my order, I ordered off a computer screen. It was SUPER confusing, there was like 20 different options for boba, and I literally just wanted normal boba, and I guess the normal boba is "pearls." But it's not like I can ask that computer screen any questions. Before I checked out, it had auto tip at 15%!! That is so ridiculous, first off the order was so confusing. You only have one person working, maybe if they took my order I would give them a tip. But PSA tips are a scam nowadays, they don't even go to the workers, the tips go to the owners too who aren't even working. And yea the boba drink when I received it was not even sealed, you have to shake your boba drink that's boba 101, and part of the drink spilled so that was not great. Terrible... I'm going to try to find a boba cafe that is not like the rest maybe one with a real human that will take your order.

    Love the cups!!
    Lindsey C.

    Good boba spot in Roseville. Order from the kiosk. My taro was very sweet and the boba was good. They have non dairy milks. I like the cups! Cutely decorated inside!

    Do you see any sea salt cream?

    I've finally tried BU again after a long time, and they failed me again 2x. Paid for salted cream but never got it. It's not cheap neither. Not happy at all. That was the reason why I go to BU.

    Banana smoothie, strawberry jelly popping boba.

    Just visited this today, I've never had boba before so I asked a clarifying question and the staff was really rude, I also heard them laughing after :( I stood over by the counter while waiting for my drink and she snapped at me asking what I was waiting for. There were 2 young girls one that was pretty (the nice one) and one that was pretty rough (the mean one). The date is 1/11 and the time is 3:24. If the owner is reading this please check the staff list and have a conversation with her. Never is it okay to make a customer feel like they are inferior or unwanted. Pretty good banana smoothie though. And for what it's worth the place is decorated nice and love the color changing thermal straws, however, that young lady was so rude that I will not be returning.

    My 5-year-old wanted boba and I remembered this place was in the area we were in at the time. We went in expecting to order at the counter, but we were directed to an electronic kiosk to place and pay for the order. The kiosk is not that user friendly for first timers who are not tech gurus. You kind of need to know what you want and where to look.... I ended up ordering an item that was kind of what I intended on, but it was more expensive because it was organic. The kiosk automatically adds a 20% tip for what turns out to be no service at all. You actually have to catch it and manually remove or change it, if you wish to. Having been a food server, a million years ago, I always tip for service; usually in the 25% range, but if I don't have human interaction I'm not prone to tipping. I tasted my son's brown sugar boba, it was good, but the experience and the overall vibe was not great. It's a small place with chairs that tower above the very short tables in the tiny wizard decorated sitting area. I doubt that I'll be back, but I've learned to never say never!

    Melon Blizzard  $5.95; March 2023
    Laura T.

    Ordering is only with the self serve kiosk, and card only payments. If you approach the counter the staff will direct you to the self serve kiosk. They appeared quite rude and a bit standoffish as well. Wasn't able to ask the employees about certain options for the drinks or inquire about any other aspect for ordering. The interior is very cute and clean, with plenty of seating for you to enjoy your treats inside if you desire. I ordered the Melon Blizzard which was $5.95 for only one size available. It was average! Most melon smoothies have an artificial melon flavoring but this one was quite tasted a bit watery and didn't leave that strange fake aftertaste like how some other boba places make their melon snow smoothies. Quite disappointed overall.

    Damage, unsanitary, leaky cups from Bubble University.
    Janice P.

    Your UPS (units per sale) versus your business inventory is not balancing. I was told by your night employee on 12/29/24 after 8 pm that certain items could not be made available due to products unavailable? Furthermore, faulty product or a mishandling of the product could have been avoided if employees are careful with the product. Leaking product, luckily my cup holder is plastic and removable so it was an easy clean up. But unfortunately I paid for a product that was not sanitary because it leaked out from the container and nothing was left but boba no almond milk or ice. The past employees that worked night shift before 12/29/24 were actually very wise by checking the products. You might want to install more security or do surprise visits to make sure your shortages of product are not caused by employees or their associates taking products out the back/front doors. Then perhaps you can actually see a profit in your business and take a vacation

    Accepting cash or not?

    Yes cash is accepted but only at the front counter

    Are the cups they use re-usable (as in if you bring them back another time and get a drink similar to Starbucks re-usable cups)? Considering these cups are nicer than the norm and ideally to reduce waste, I'd hope so!

    Is this place pet-friendly inside? Is there outdoor seating available?

    Not sure about pet-friendly but there is no outside seating

    Do you offer sugar free options?

    What do I need to order to get the cute design on top? Can I request a specific design?

    Are you closed on the weekends now?

    Are you guys open right now? Phone line keeps ringing busy

    Does anyone know the store hours?

    Boba Unit Cafe is still my favorite matcha spot in the Greater Sacramento area! I've been coming…read morehere pretty often for the past 1.5yrs and they've been open for almost 2 years now. (So glad they started a rewards program now!) I'm glad their Uji matcha supply has become much more consistent because it used to sell out frequently when they first opened. The quality is really good, and it's my go to whenever I don't feel like making my own Japanese brands of matcha at home. Once you've had amazing matcha in Japan, you're ruined, and it's hard to settle for anything less lol. I also appreciate that every matcha is made fresh to order. They don't even offer their matcha drinks on DoorDash like they do with their other drinks, which I think shows they really care about serving it at its best. A lot of people recommend Offbeat, and I do love it! but Boba Unit's Too Much Matcha has become my favorite. The matcha foam top is delicious, and you have to sip instead of using a straw to really enjoy it. I think Offbeat's foam is slightly better, but to me, Boba Unit's actual matcha drink tastes better overall. I think people sleep on Boba Unit's matcha because of the name. Since it's called Boba Unit, I'm guessing a lot of people probably don't realize they serve really high quality matcha here. Another big plus is that Boba Unit is open every day and always has plenty of parking (I hate street parking), which is something I really appreciate. I do wish they opened earlier than 11am. I'd love to grab a matcha earlier in the morning, but I usually just go at 11am when they open so I'm not drinking it too late in the day and staying awake all night. The only other downside is the store layout. If you're meeting with more than one other person, the large table at the front is really the only good option. Since it's right next to the register and where everyone lines up to order, it doesn't feel very private if you're trying to sit and chat for a while. The two person tables along the hallway toward the back aren't as inviting, and the lighting back there kind of sucks. But anyways, if you're ever in the area, give it a try!

However, if you've purchased a glass bottle to reuse for a $1 discount, as of the end of April, there was no way to order with your discount on the kiosk, & it was something they were figuring out. They used to have stamp cards, but now it's a phone number rewards system. Customer service has been great. Staff has been friendly, welcoming, & helpful with answering questions. One time, we lingered outside & didn't realize our order was ready, so a man kindly brought it out to us. The mister's go to is a Cowfee with boba.

At our most recent visit, they had a Krem Tea/Coffee pop-up so we tried a couple of drinks in addition to our usual Mango Coco Sago drink: the banana coffee (signature Vietnamese Coffee with sweetened condensed milk and topped with a big scoop of banana pudding) and the jackfruit matcha (matcha latte with jackfruit puree, choice of milk, and jackfruit flesh). Both of the speciality drinks were quite good! I wouldn't hesitate to get the banana coffee again. My daughter would also get the jackfruit matcha again.

I've been on countless number of trips to boba shops over the last 20 years and although I use to succumb to peer pressure early on, it's been so long now. Years since I've ordered anything. But for some reason, when I was the DD to this spot, they had a "Best Seller" menu board. My previous go-to was always taro and after they confirmed it was fresh taro -- actually, they warned me it was fresh taro because customers have something else in mind -- I succumbed. Their verbal drink descriptions were so finely tuned like a Hollywood actor, they made everything sound so good and they were right. No boba added - just their Best Seller "Taro Smash" I watched them make it and after the fist few sips, I immediately regretted not ordering the large. And since I'm such a rookie at this now, I forgot to give it a shake and get the ice to do what ice does. After that, it was even better. So, hands down the best taro drink I've had.
