Friends suggested we meet here after a sports win. There are so many choices of boba!! Staff are patient with everyone. We ordered and selected levels of sugar and ice and added calamari to the order. There were plenty of tables to wait and while we did the line backed out of the door. Our number was called fairly soon. The calamari was crispy and seasoned with a little kick of heat. The Boba was perfect. And our friend said we should try his popcorn chicken as it is an authentic Taiwanese street food. It was seasoned with Chinese Five Spice and very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. This visit was a win-win. Ill be back! read more

** Note for non-dairy & vegan friends: There have non-dairy milk options! Soy, oat, almond The service was quick & the cashier was helpful. I have been craving taro so I ordered the Taro Milk Tea since they supposedly make it from scratch. I was happy to learn they had nondairy options. It was not reflected as an itemized charge in the receipt but there was an unexplained $0.75 so I'm thinking that's the non-dairy charge. The drink itself was decent. For the price, I'd rather get the taro at Chicha Sanchen instead. This location is hangout friendly and has plenty of tables for the guests. It's a little dim and the barely any AC if that matters. I didn't mind it but it was noticeable. read more

Walking around Pelton Plaza, I saw that they had an i-Tea place here. I am a fan of theirs drinks. They have a fairly "vast drink menu" and snack menu. But, at this location, they have entrees here!?! Wow, that's impressive. A fairly crowded place for a weeknight. They have plenty of tables to sit at. They are pretty organized having one area for mobile orders and the main area for walk-ins, etc. Support your local business. read more

I went today and it was pretty cute. The staff look hard working and are constantly making drinks. I always feel like it's somewhat busy here and they survived MochiNut so that's definitely a testament to their quality and service they provide. I will try the food next time to see if it's still bussin because i haven't ordered food here for a hot minute. Definitely reminds me of the high school days coming here and enjoying a drink and a quick snack. read more

Mango Sago is so good here! If you are craving a pick me up drink, this is the place to grab it in San Leandro.

Consistency is key when it comes to good boba milk tea and this location always does it well. itea in SL is still one of the best in the game. Always long lines but they're very efficient and get orders out fast. Iron goddess milk tea aka tieguanyin milk tea with light ice and less sweet is the order to get. Food is delicious too, btw. read more

On our way home one night and decided to pick up some boba and snacks. We ordered some drinks, basil popcorn chicken, and a house rice noodle. I had a green tea milk tea. It was more taste of milk than anything. The basil popcorn chicken was okay. The house rice noodle was actually pretty good. The place is decent. Just not one of my top five when it comes to boba. read more

i-Tea is probably one of my favorite boba places in the area. We had dinner nearby recently and came in right as they were closing, but they were gracious enough to take our orders. They were super fast, efficient and friendly (probably because they wanted to start cleaning, haha) but didn't make us feel rushed or anything. The drinks always hit the spot! read more

M7 ordered, PAID for chia seeds and they made the order WITHOUT boba:((( Call and asked if they can remake, I offered to come pick up for my colleague! Whoever answers the phone ask me to bring the drink back so they can put the boba in I said 'are u serious??' You really expect a customer to come back all the way to just have boba put in their drink??? Zero service skill whatsoever read more

My co-worker and I came here for lunch over the weekend. You have to pay for meter parking, which is a bit of a bummer. But it isn't expensive. The line was super long. Out the door! So we were scared about making it back to work on time. It took time to get to the front of the cash register to order. Once you order, you get a number and try to find a table. We were standing around waiting for someone to get up. It is a casual place. I think it needs more tables. There is the space for it. The food came out super fast! I was impressed. I got the black oil garlic ramen. So delicious! The egg was cooked to perfection IMO. Soft Boil. The broth had such rich flavor. Noodles were just how I like it - a little chewy. My co-worker got the pork belly rice bowl. He said he enjoyed it. Very filling. We got popcorn chicken, which was so meh. The chicken was dry inside. Not moist at all. Could have done without the popcorn chicken tbh. Wasted $9. We got mango saago drinks which was nice and refreshing. Good amount of toppings in it! read more

Good boba, long lines but it goes fast. My kids like the watermelon slushy. It is a great place I like it.

Came back cause I was craving and did not fail Chicken steak rice plate: or as I like to call it, popcorn chicken fried rice plate. I ordered dine in and got a nice big plate with napkins and a metal fork. chicken reminds me a lot of popcorn chicken. Like a bigger flatter popcorn chicken that was cut into slices. I mean this in the best way, chicken was fried, was super tender and moist and of course, delicious. Fried rice was alright, standard fried rice, and with given only a fork, I had to scoop multiple time for one mouthful. But didnt matter since the meal was delicious, and I got nice and full with still almost half the plate still un eaten. Extra I like the cashier, very efficient There are tables in the restaurant (which isnt true for some itea places One of the only boba places I know with rice plates, udon, and ramen. When asking for water, they asked ice or no ice, I got ice and a straw. Straw that was given was a boba straw and cup was small. No self order I think there is a mochinut in the same building like turn right and thats the mochinut cashier Saw about 3-4 staffs during night Was super busy but fast service got people in and out quickly Ordering a rice plate, I got a number stand and they brought the rice plate to my table 5/5 read more

I been getting boba drinks from here since they opened, always good. I finally tried some of their food items, and was impressed. Got the Beef Stew Wonton Noodle Soup and Beef Udon Noodle Soup. Both were very good, the beef stew was very tender with good flavors. The same goes for the Beef Udon. The Shanghai Dumpling (XLB's) was good as well. The service was pretty fast. They got it down as this place gets very busy!!! They only have a few tables now after the pandemic. Large portion of the tables are closed off. read more

Drinks are reasonably priced, with a $0.75 upcharge for non-dairy milk. It was a bit too sweet even at 30%. The food menu looks large, but I haven't tried it yet. The cashier was efficient but not particularly friendly--just be ready to order. The space is roomy, great for studying or hanging out. There's a parking lot with meters--don't forget to pay, or you'll risk a $50 fine. read more

I mean you cant go wrong with a boba spot! I have to admit that their food here is pretty good. I love the korubota pork with rice. They drinks are standard, its isn't anything extraordinary but i love their creme brulee drink. The staff are nice, they are friendly. I became a reg so we are pretty familiar with each other. They place gets busy especially after school gets out. Itll get crowded and liud because of the you g kids, so avoid that! But other than that the ambience is chill and mellow. read more

One of the best boba spots I've ever had. The best boba for me is the K1 (Boba and Pudding Iced Milk). The boba is so chewy, the pudding adds so much flavor to the drink, it's like the best boba ever. The cashiers were nice and helpful. The service was always like a 15-20 minute wait. The ambiance was so cool. I got to see how the I-Tea workers make the boba. There were a lot of plants hanging around the place, some chinese cats around the cashier table, and 2 big menus hanging up. One in the middle of the room, and one from where the workers work. If you like boba, this is a recommended spot to go to. read more

I got a milk tea with boba and 0% sugar. They give plenty of boba! I also got popcorn chicken - make sure you ask for it to be spicy if you want it to. The popcorn chicken was really good! There's plenty of seating. I even saw someone working on their laptop so I am assuming there's wifi? If there's a line, it goes by really quickly. There's parking since there's a lot but if you can't find a parking spot, you can park at the nearby plaza and walk over. read more

Really good beef noodle soup and I loved the noodles that it came with. I wish it had pickled veggies, but otherwise surprisingly good for a boba shop. I got the house boba which was solid as well. Boba could've been a little softer but otherwise good. read more

I ordered a strawberry mango tea, large, with 30% sweetness and 0% ice. I also tried some of the white peach oolong kreama, large, 50% sweetness and 50% ice that my partner ordered. It was decently busy here on a Saturday evening but orders came out in about 5 minutes. It's hard to find parking in this plaza sometimes, but it is located within a reasonable walking distance from the San Leandro BART station. They have tables inside the shop that you can sit at since there's not really any outdoor seating nearby. I thought my drink was pretty good, definitely quite fruity and as the order came out as 50% sweetness instead of my desired 30%, it was still pretty sweet. The white peach oolong kreama was good too, but since the creama part stays on the top, you may need to try to mix it if you want it to be more evenly dispersed in your drink. read more

My favorite is F-2 with sea salt creama (roasted oolong milk tea) or 3-G milk tea with sea salt creama this drink come with all the topping I like (roasted oolong milk tea with bobba, tofu and grass jelly) oh and the food is so good. Shrimp chow Iên, fries, basil popcorn chicken, fried tofu is so soft and if you feel adventurous try their ell fried rice. All delicious. read more

Best chain shop with great food and a variety of boba drinks for anyone! I decided to come here on a Saturday afternoon after craving some popcorn chicken. I did a walk in order and there was no line when I went. My popcorn chicken came out in about 6-8 mins and was super hot! If there is one snack dish to get here it would be the popcorn chicken. It has so much flavor, not oily and has the right amount of coating. I do have to say the popcorn chicken was about 9 bucks with tax. It use to be cheaper but seems like they upped the prices. This place is only take out only and I suggest calling in or ordering on the online if you don't want to wait. I know sometimes it can get busy! Parking is easy and convenient! Highly recommend trying this place out if you haven't been here! Drinks are solid with a wide range of teas, milk teas, smoothies, slushies, toppings and snacks! You will not be disappointed at all!!! read more

Affordable boba in the bay area...say what? Yes, it's true you can purchase a boba under $6 at i-Tea. Granted you have to pay for parking, that's the only down side. I can't wait to go back here and try other teas. What makes this place deserve 5 stars, is they offer teas you can't find at other boba shops. For example, I ordered the Japanese Sencha, yum! To those who live in the area, I'm seriously jealous. Keep supporting this place and enjoy. read more

It's my first time trying this iTea location. Parking was relatively easy, but the meter was not working. I ordered snacks and a drink through their online system, and they were finished relatively quickly (~15 minutes). Mango Sago - Delicious, but it was kind of warm. I think it would've tasted better if chilled. As for the snacks, I ordered mini eggrolls, croquette, shrimp lollipops, and fried chicken wings. I know they're all fried foods, but they were too oily. After a few bites, I started to feel nauseous. However, I like the mini eggrolls and croquette. read more

Love coming here, usually get Mango sago and popcorn chicken and its always fresh, busy place so expect to wait if you dont call ahead.

While waiting for a dinner order across the street, we dropped into I-Tea for some bubble tea. In addition to bubble tea, they also have some authentic Asian fast food, not to be confused with Chinese Takeout. Examples are Unagi Don, Kalbi Rice Plate, Tonkatsu Ramen. There are a few tables inside, but most people take it to go. It is clean, modern and uses an "open" kitchen design, where you can watch your drink being made. I ordered the Khoyo Grapes Fruit tea. A grape flavored tea with some grape gelatin... refreshing on a hot summer day. read more

Even though it's a little pricey, I think this is one of the most authentic boba places that remind me of my 626 area code upbringing. Their drinks are awesome. I personally love their wintermelon milk tea, jasmine milk tea, and kiwi tea. My friend always gets the creme brûlée tea here and I always eye it haha! There are so many different types of toppings here like pudding, grass jelly, popping boba, and more. The wait is very long, so I highly recommend when parking to anticipate the long wait! read more
