    Still great food and drinks with the finished updated look!!! Too bad they couldn't all look this nice. Though I will say one thing, the tables got smaller.

    Condensed milk cakes & waffle were super delicious

    Friendly service. Delicious variety of boba tea cold or hot. Snacks are our family's favorites. Liked the chicken #1 snack and the waffle pancake with condensed milk.

    I come to this place at LEAST once a month and my kids and I love it! This is the only place we get boba in Alameda. The workers are really nice and charismatic! There is one worker specifically that we love, my kids love seeing her. One time my daughter forgot my son's order and was getting nervous, but the employee somehow remembered it! Love this place. Highly recommend.

    Noticed there's free WIFI but no one posted any details about the login credentials, so here it is!

    Unfortunately I need to start double checking my orders after they've been made. I was holding my toddler with me so I had to just grab and go. I usually don't mind it enough to leave reviews but the frustration of tipping beforehand as a regular and particular it being a larger order this time. $4 tip and came home to realize they still didn't even get it right. Overall no huge issues with how drinks taste and staffs are usually friendly for the most part but service can still be better though.

    Ordered their signature boba milk tea no sugar no ice. Found out that this means they top it off with water because the drink was kinda watery. Id recommend not adjusting the ice level if you want a decent drink. Service is good though; the staff is pretty nice. Place is clean.

    We tried a range of bbt options - they were ok, mine was so sweet that it was hard to drink without further dilution.

    So sweet, it was hard to drink - even at 50% sweetness level. Next time, I'll go with even less sweet or zero. After a few sips, I had to stop and take it home for dilution. Tea quality seems to be ok but average given significant competition in the Bay. Service was functional/transactional like most bbt places. There is plenty of indoor seating for groups and this location also serves food/snacks. Note there was NO restroom for customers; this was extremely inconvenient and we were fortunate we could return to subpar mini golf next door to use their facilities. Overall ambiance was not great altogether. There's a large parking in the strip mall but with extremely narrow compact parking spots - consider parking on the street to avoid some hard dings on the car.

    Chicken curry
    Destiny R.

    We ordered the chicken cutlet with rice and curry, ramen, and two drinks. We spent over $40. Yet, when we requested for additional curry because of how stingy they were with the serving, they told us it would be an additional $1.50. When we told them that the portion was so small to begin with, the staff responded saying our request is the same as asking for extra boba in a drink. Even the drinks were not made well. They had little to no taste. Additionally, the older female staff member we spoke to was very rude. She behaved as if we were crazy for our request. It's a very poor way to treat your paying customers. Not only that, but the staff does not even clean the tables. They put Clorox wipes on each table so that the customers clean the tables themselves. It is an extremely lazy operation this I-Tea is running and very disappointing to see how something as simple as customer service is neglected today. We will not be coming back to this location.

    The replacement' for the mishap.

    See all

    Best tea in Alameda, hands down. They also have a great selection of snacks to try. Highly recommend the egg puffs and jasmine milk tea!
