    Matcha latte and Honeycomb Latte
    Kira K.

    We needed a caffeine fix and we came across this place on Yelp which had not only good reviews, but unique drink choices. I got the matcha latte and my husband got the honeycomb latte. First of all, the matcha was on point! Perfect sweetness, and I could tell the matcha was great quality.. in fact, it was as good as some places in Japan that I had! The interior of the shop was clean and beautiful/modern - almost like you were entering a spa. I would definitely come back here next time when I'm in the area :)

    A new tea shop in Hayward that has replaced ONCE tea. I was excited to give this spot a try since it was on my for you page. I feel like downtown Hayward, especially A Street is making a comeback with new establishments. I decided to stop by on a Sunday around 6 PM and there were a few customers inside. It was great that they had a kiosk available in front of the register. Whatever air freshener that they used made the entire place small wonderful. I decided to order one of the recommended drinks - Mango Pomelo. The drink itself was very refreshing, but the ice could've been blended a little bit more because I was sipping more ice than the pomelo, sago, and bits of the mango. Would love to try their matcha and their milk tea next time I swing by.

    Hayward finally got its first aesthetic Chinese boba shop after seeing their reels on Instagram. Their clean, warm interior design is more hyped than the drinks. The menu is pretty much a local version of Heytea, but not on the same taste level. Not many people prefer to sit inside on a Saturday afternoon. I decided to order the Guava Lemon Tea for myself through their kiosk. Too bad I couldn't adjust the sweetness, so I had to tolerate it, like drinking half the guava puree in the lemon tea. Plus, it was around $8, which is a bit expensive without additional toppings. I had to wait half an hour or more for the ice to melt halfway so I could finish the drink at 25% sweetness. That's enough time to be stuck in traffic on the way back home. Since there were a few people ahead of me, it took 20 minutes to wait for one drink to arrive. Since it is located in a busy and narrow downtown area, you can find free parking behind Buffalo Bill's Brewery, the movie theater garage, or near City Hall.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon. They have a single self-order kiosk machine at the front, which made placing my order quick and easy. I really appreciated the digital tracking screens that show when your order is placed, actively being prepared, and ready for pickup--it takes all the guesswork out of waiting. Even with the weekend flow, my drinks were ready in under 10 minutes. I ordered the matcha jasmine latte, which was delightfully strong with a distinctly earthy, grassier flavor profile. I will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu. Plus, there are tons of seating options available, making it a great spot to hang out, catch up with a friend, or get some work done.

    The place was really cute, clean and cozy. I got a mango slush and it was good. The other drink was a crème brûlée milk tea and she did not like it at all. It was yellow? Over all I would give it a 3.5/5

    New boba tea shop in Hayward. The interior decoration is nice it has seating area inside. When I arrived they are pretty busy. You can order using the touch screen kiosk or with the cashier. It has matcha, fruit tea and milk tea. The store is famous for its matcha drink. As I already ordered matcha from shop next door, I decided to order grapefruit greentea with crystal boba. The price is similar to other boba tea shop. The drink is refreshing and the fruit and tea combination is good. Will definitely stop by again when we are in the area.

    I frequently pass through downtown Hayward during my commute so I was excited to see a new boba spot that I could potentially stop by. Parking can be a bit difficult, as it's located on B street (one way street) with only a few parking spots every few feet but there are nearby parking structure. I was lucky enough to snag a spot about 8 stores down. Ordered my drinks through a kiosk. Drinks were reasonably priced (about $6.95 for a milk tea with boba, fruit drinks a tad more expensive starting at $7). I got the oolong milk tea that came with boba, 25% sweet and 50% ice. I also got a Peach Blossom drink at 50% sweet and 50% ice for the next day. I wish they offered a 25% or no ice option- I'm a little worried the 50% ice will dilute the fruit tea. Drinks came out quickly- less than a 5 minute wait at 2pm on a Wednesday. I tried the milk tea right away and enjoyed it! It was very smooth and had a slight floral taste- this isn't the type of oolong that has a deep, roasted flavor. I thought 25% sweet was perfect and wouldnt recommend going higher. The boba had a nice QQ texture and was also sweet. Haven't tried the peach tea but hoping it isn't too sweet. They seal the cups with a film so you need a straw to penetrate the drink, so you can't sip straight from the lid despite there being a closeable slit for that. Tea was delicious, prices are reasonable. I would come back, though the parking might deter me from making this a frequent place.

    Very cute boba shop. The interior is so aesthetically pleasing! Glad to have a spot like this in downtown Hayward. The drinks were pretty good. We tried two tea-based drinks and a matcha. I thought the tea flavors were very strong and noticeably better quality than other boba shops in the area. I didn't get the artificial/overly-sugary taste that other boba shops have. The matcha was surprisingly the star here!! I didn't expect a boba shop to have such a decent matcha. I got the matcha einspanner and it was super creamy and had a strong matcha taste. Loved it and would definitely get it again. I definitely think they need another ordering screen. They only have one touch screen and the line gets very held up with people looking at the menu. It took me a while to order due to this.

    I wanted to try Dali Tea since I'd heard about it, so I stopped by and ordered a matcha latte from the self-service kiosk. Unfortunately, the experience was pretty disappointing. After ordering, I watched my drink sit on the counter without a lid while two employees were switching shifts. They left my drink sitting there while they headed out and the next employees came in. I eventually had to point it out to the new employee at the register and ask if the drink sitting there was mine. She confirmed it was, asked if I wanted light ice, and then finally put the lid on it. To make matters worse, the matcha itself really wasn't good. I've had much better matcha lattes elsewhere, so I honestly don't understand the hype around this place. The whole experience came across as very careless and unprofessional. If employees are changing shifts, customers' drinks shouldn't just be left sitting unattended without lids. It felt like customer service was an afterthought. Maybe I caught them at a bad time, but based on this experience, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

    Dali Tea opened recently in Once Tea's space, slightly changed decor, adding more fancier seat, tables & rounded bench seating. low level chairs are too close to each other. Dali Tea is a domestic Indy, not part of a chain. Soft music in background, ordering by kiosk only. Notification in 12 minutes via text or on overhead screen. Offerings: (Boba Tea): modern milk tea, coffee, matcha, fruit tea, milk tea, cream cheese, slushy, Hand smashed lemon tea. No notifications seen of origins or "intent" of Dali Tea. Sips: peach cream cheese (7.35) recommended on list. -requested no ice nor sugar. Initial taste of a peachy tasting slushy liquid sipped from bottom. Guess ice and peach essence blended. Thick cream cheese slow to flow down. To shake or to stir was a question I didn't of associates. Should have shaken harder. Light shaking did nada. *at the finish, peach & cream cheese mixed. Nice taste but not worthy for price. Excess Sweetness may the magic ingredient. 4ish stars. Semi-worthy. Street parking or garage. Quantity similiar to chains. Quality: pricey. Similar to chains. Chains have edge on Qualtiy..

    3.5 stars, one of the better spots in Hayward for tea with a new, modern interior and expansive menu. Overall the drinks are decent but there are only a few drinks I see myself interested in coming back for. I'm not sure I'm a fan of their boba, it has a weird flavor to it (maybe it's the sugar they use). I think they can improve on the tea strength for their milk teas. The matcha was surprisingly good for a place that's not focused on matcha. The service is OK, the screen detailing orders in progress and ready doesn't seem accurate. Ordering is done via a screen. One time, the drinks were ready but we had no idea until we checked the front. They can work on their menu descriptions because a few were slightly inaccurate (mango pomelo snow on the menu said it came with whipped cream, which we didn't want, so we let them know and they said it doesn't come with that). Parking is easy with a big lot nearby. My partner and I have tried the following (ranked): Double matcha - it was actually strong in matcha, which made this worth it. surprised by this since I wasn't as impressed with some of their other drinks. I'd recommend this one because it was the right level of sweetness and matcha flavor. Purple rice milk tea - this was the first drink I tried, the purple rice added a nice texture to the drink. I prefer their classic milk teas over the modern milk teas. Emerald kiwi fruit tea - kiwi flavor came through, and it was refreshing on a hot day Mango pomelo snow - decent with mango taste but it seemed very frozen. Made it taste more like a slush. Premium black milk tea with boba - the boba had this odd flavor to it that I can't quite name. The boba size is nice though, slightly smaller than the average pearl. The tea flavor came through but I think the sugar they use threw me off and I didn't quite enjoy the drink as much because of it. Premium jasmine milk tea - the tea wasn't strong enough on this one and it tasted more milky. Phoenix oolong milk tea - the tea wasn't very strong on this one either. Four seasons milk tea with boba - again, tea could've been stronger. Boba had that strange sugar taste I didn't enjoy. Green grape boom - decent, comes with crystal boba. The grape flavor could be stronger and fresher. Not as good as Heytea's version of this drink.

    Right next to Tram coffee is this place! The interior is super nice and clean. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The place has a lot of seats and tables. Super orange green tea: it already comes with toppings like crystal boba but if you want more you can add more. I got it with 25% sugar and 50% ice. To me this drink tasted like candy mixed with tea Or like a melted orange popsicle. I feel like if I were to compare it to other places, other places with teas and fruit teas taste a bit better. BUT the less this place has potential!

    We went on a random Thursday for brunch, so my review is based on that. I can't speak to how busy…read moreweekends are, but the day we went, it was perfect. There wasn't a wait for food or a table. It was actually pretty empty. Such a homey vibe and the chefs/cooks were super friendly and attentive. They cooked our food outside on a grill vs a traditional kitchen. The prices are pretty good for all the food you get. They stack your plate! We really enjoyed all the food (chilaquiles rojos and the verdes with meat, and three quesabirrias). We couldn't finish it all! You can tell it's all homemade, which is nice. A lot of places don't make their chilaquiles sauce from scratch. We'd definitely return. The only thing I'd pass on is the Vietnamese coffee. Maybe it was our fault for ordering this at a Mexican spot, but it tasted more like cold brew than Vietnamese coffee.

    The food was great! I went Saturday for brunch and sat outside. It was so nice out there. Reminded…read moreme of a family backyard. I loved the decor and ambiance. The quesabirrias were well made and stuffed, no skimping! My sister got the chilaquiles verdes and she said they were a good amount of spice for her. I got my nieces huevos con jamón and they loved it, if you have littles, make sure you cut the ham. It's cut vertically and they were big strips. I also liked that they had fruit bowls. The drinks are poured into these amazing cups. They're beautiful! The mocha wasn't my favorite but the food was the highlight, so I'm not too upset. The service was quick, fast and the people friendly. Overall, I'd take my dad there.

We tried the lobster balls, calamari, swirly potato, strawberry breeze, and mango breeze. I would definitely skip the lobster balls next time.

It was me and my son's first time trying one and we both loved it. The strawberry and mango breezes were good too, although they had a lot more cream than I prefer. I didn't realize they were made that way, otherwise I probably would've asked for less. Service was just okay and the decor was modern and cute. Not rude, but not especially warm or friendly either. Also, be prepared to wait. It took around 30 minutes for our order even though it wasn't very crowded. Now that I know, if I come back I'll definitely order ahead and just pick it up. Would I return? Possibly. There were a few things we enjoyed enough to try again, but next time I'm ordering ahead and definitely getting another swirly potato!
