I discovered the Taiwanese cafe in Pleasanton today. They have a big menu with many choices of drinks and appetizers, reasonably priced and big portion, place is very clean. I order the Braised pork with Rice and Tonkatsu omurice there are two pieces of port chop very delicious. and the Match Oreo and Fresh Mango Sago was excellent. I would love to come back to try everything!!! read more

This is the best boba I have tasted in a while. There is a lot of students studying there, very nice atmosphere. It is family own, the owner and his wife are very nice. Overall a good experience, my favorite drink here is the matcha Oreo brûlée. There is also ramen! read more

Junenov Tea has quickly become our new favorite boba spot. The drinks are consistently delicious, and their big boba is such a standout -- so many places have switched to smaller pearls, but Junenov serves the classic, soft chewy big boba that's getting harder to find. Their customer service is also excellent. We really appreciated the gentleman who kindly opened the door for me when my hands were full. Small gestures like that make a big difference. Highly recommend this place for both great drinks, snacks and great people. read more

I've been here several times. A few times I ordered the Original Onigiri with Pomelo Green Tea and Lychee instead of Aloe because they ran out. Both are good and I would order again. My fave is the Jasmine Blossom and Tofuhua, no boba. It's a must try. There was an issue with the system not applying a couple of times, so I missed out on the points. Overall, customer service good, the team there are nice and try to help. The ambiance is casual, not too loud, and a good place for light conversation. read more

Really amazing service, dropped off all drinks and food at our table even though it looks to be mostly to go. The menu reminds of ITEA, another bobs store, but this store is way cleaner and is way more dine in friendly. One of the better tea stores in town! Parking lot is not large, but available. Came with my friend to do some work, wifi worked well. Order items at the register, get an electronic number. 2 drinks and 2 food items came out to $48 prior to tax and tips. Boba milk tea ($6.75) was really delicious, creamy, and not too sweet. Mango sago ($7.50) was refreshing. Garlic tonkatsu ramen ($16.95) was really good, chewy noodles and broth had garlicky pork flavor. The one I didn't like was the noodle with shrimp, it was was ok. The noodles were chewier, but the sauce made it bit too sweet on my end. Overall, solid tea drinks with food! read more

Drink was pretty good but this place could use a lot of improvement. I found a metal wire in my drink and almost accidentally swallowed it. It was one of those metal cleaning wires. This could've been really dangerous.... Also the high schoolers who work there definitely do not care about anything. For our drink, I watched one person make it, then say "oh I made it wrong, I didn't adjust the sweetness". He proceeded to dump out half of the entire drink and replace it with ice. Would have been nice if he remade the drink correctly. Instead we got a cup full of ice. read more

Not really a big fan of boba and decided to try Junenov Tea and it was surprisingly good. The place has many tables to sit and let people hangout and chat. They have variety of drinks to choose from and snacks to dishes to choose from. If you are looking for good boba and food definitely try Junenov Tea. Lastly the staff is very attentive and nice not what you usually get at boba shops lol. read more

teas were good, food was eh, a big menu with lots of pictures seem very enticing and each sounding mouthwatering yummy i tried a couple and each fail to meet expectations but also wasnt really what it showed my biggest quarrel was with the Okonomiyaki Short Rib Checker Fries, 1 it wasnt even checker fries.. it was steak fries which in my opinion is the worst fry as a loaded fry, good as it's own terrible as a loaded fry. the short rib pieces were sparce and not too flavourful. read more

Pretty chill boba place with food in downtown. We got the mango fruit tea, mango sumuji, pork katsu curry omurice, garlic beef noodles, and short rib fries. Initially, I thought it was self pickup but the staff came to us with our order, which was appreciated and unique for a boba place. Drinks were refreshing and boba were really chewy and delicious. The food portion was quite big and filling. The pork katsu was really crunchy and the garlic beef noodles was chewy with a strong garlic flavor. The fries are crispy and tasted really good with the sauce. read more

I tried a drink at their Pleasant Hill location before, but didn't get a chance to try their food. I am glad they have this location so I can explore more of their menu! For starters, their shared parking lot can get busy. They have a big menu with lots of drink and food/snacks to choose from. Items I ordered: - Classic Taiwanese Braised Pork with Rice - Fried Fish Onigiri - Honey Brown Rice Milk Tea (50% sugar, 30% ice) drink come with agar boba and chia seeds - Litchi fruit tea (50% sugar, 30% ice) drink comes with boba, lychee jelly, and fresh lychee bits Food and drinks were great! I honestly would get everything again! The portion of the rice was pretty big/filling, great toppings, and flavor. I loveee fried fish and it went well with the onigiri. The drinks were really good and I liked how they come with toppings that pair well with the drinks. We dined in so they give a buzzer to let you know when your foods ready. There is seating available, however the place can get quite busy (got pretty packed throughout our meal) so you may need to wait or order to go. Place was pretty nice, bright, and clean. I appreciate the cashier for being friendly, informative (she made sure to let us know certain items may take a little longer), and knowledgeable (able to give me the perfect recommendations for my drink sweetness level). Overall, recommend if in the area! read more

OMG, I have been craving the short ribs with garlic noodles from the only Junenov location I knew about in Pleasant Hill, and was ready to drive from San Ramon for it. Then I discovered that there is a location in Pleasanton, and they take online orders for the noodles. The online order from their website was simple since I was able to log in with my Google account. I drove there, and the order was ready shortly after. The only complaint I have, which isn't really their fault is the lack of parking at this location. There was literally no parking, and I had to park along the curb and run in when my order was ready for pick up. The noodles were as amazing as they were at the other location. I'm glad it's consistent across locations. The short ribs were so tender and in bite size boneless chunks. The noodles were fresh and the thicker noodles that I like. The seasoning was perfect. I haven't tried other things at this location yet, but I'm sure it's just as good. I highly recommend this place, not just for the drinks, but also for the food. read more

This location took over iTea, however the menu is pretty much the same. Lots of food/snack items that I have yet to try. We ordered the fresh mango sago drink & Prime Jasmine Blossom latte, which were good but a bit sweet for our tastes. The drinks were ready in a flash & staff are friendly & patient. There are multiple chairs/tables for sitting inside too. read more

I've been as supportive as possible but today was my final try. First time, my popcorn chicken was over the top spicy when I requested mild. It was covered in spice. Second time, my curly potatoes wasn't very fried and more soggy. Today, I ordered 7 beverages and 3 of 7 had issues. I love supporting small business but today was my day to move onwards. Service was kind. Place is clean. read more

This modern cute spot gave me original iTea vibes with the quality of strong aromatic tea flavor in their milk tea. The interior decor brings amazing ambiance for friends to hang out. Their panda milk tea is superb and their Taiwanese braised pork rice is delicious. Their popcorn chicken was ok. Seems like they were missing basil in mine. The bathroom is the cleanest I have ever seen at a boba establishment. Hope it stays that way. The most unfortunate part is finding parking. During peak times, it will be quite difficult. You may have to park closer to downtown Pleasanton and walk over. Hands down the best boba hangout in the area and I drive from Dublin. There are limited boba places that offer tasty snacks. It's either the drink isn't as good or vis versa. If they keep up the quality, I will definitely be a frequent customer. read more

Love seeing new boba spots open up in the East Bay!! Junenov Tea recently opened near DT Pleasanton right by Stanley Blvd. They have a VAST menu with a ton of options so there's definitely something for everybody. We visited on a weekday around dinnertime and was met with a rush of high schoolers. After ordering at the register, our group of 3 ended up waiting 25-30 minutes for our drinks which was farrrr longer than we would've loved especially after being only the second party to order. I ordered the F2 / Prime Alishan High Mountain Jinxuan Tea and it was good! The boba was soft (yay), tea was fragrant, and the sea salt cream at the top was good too. I don't think there was anything about the drink that made it extraordinary, but it definitely solidified itself as a decent spot for me around the area. LOTS of seating inside but the parking lot can be a lil rough especially during busy hours. I'd give it 3.5 stars but rounding up! read more

A great spot to catch up with friends or do some work. They have an extensive menu full of different drinks and food options. I had just eaten lunch so I didn't get to try an entree, but gave in to the smell of freshly fried popcorn chicken. It was delicious and so flavorful! The basil was fragrant and there were even cloves of garlic. Needless to say, garlic breath was successfully achieved. I ordered the guava drink with cheese foam top but didn't realize it was in slushie form (which I am not a huge fan of). It was too icy for my liking, but I would definitely try a different drink next time. There are a few small and big tables inside but it does fill up quickly depending on the time of day. The wifi is fast and there are a couple of outlets. Would definitely return! read more

I wanted to come here for awhile after seeing it on social media. I went inside, felt welcomed in, very diverse menu of food and drinks, the workers were informative of their popular drinks, and inside is spacious with plenty of seating. Drinks are at a good sweetness at 80% with fixed regular ice. If I'm in the area, I'll come back to try their other drinks and food. Drinks: - Matcha Oreo Brulee Latte: I like the texture, you can still taste the matcha but it's sweet and subtle, a straightforward drink - White Peach Blossom Latte: popular drink, you can taste the peach but wish it was stronger, creamy, tea is very subtle, tastes like a milk/creamer base - Jasmine Blossom Latte: light floral taste but subtle jasmine, tea is thin and subtle, creamy, tastes like it has a milky/creamer based - Boba: soft and chewy read more

Junenov Tea - B11. Jasmine Blossom Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Junenov Tea opened a month ago where I-tea was. This 2nd location is much smaller than Pleasant Hill's. Parking not plentiful. Ordered at counter. Got drink in 10ish minutes when buzzer went off. Didn't notice any music. Appears all patrons were Mandarin speakers. Offerings (Taiwanese): snacks, fruit tea, Taiwanese tea, fresh fruits & smoothies, sea salt kreama & cheesma, sumuji & frosty, milk tea, dessert drinks, latte, ...menu doesn't have descriptions of drinks. Sips: Shizuoka matcha sumuJi (7.5) 50% sugar. Ice 100% though it didn't seem excessive. -tastes very sweet since whipped cream also present. Matcha tasteless till the end when it became more pronounced at bottom of cup. -plenty of black chewy boba included in drink. -would have skipped if I knew so many ingredients were in it. Great for people who like uber sweet drinks. Whipped cream taste most prominent. 4.5 stars: semi-worthy: ymmv. Quality: artisan, fresh ingredients. Quantity: reasonable. Would order non sugar drink next time. read more

It took me a second to figure out that this very uniquely named boba tea shop is the same as the one in Pleasant Hill. Just like the Pleasant Hill location, Pleasanton's location has a great vibe with modern decor. There is a decent amount of interior seating, and if anything the service is even better! What sets Junenov Tea apart from the plethora of other Boba shops in downtown, is they have an extensive menu of real food. It isn't just your typical fried snacks that you'd find at their competitors. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was bustling. It was reminiscent of the prior iTea. We ordered four drinks - Avocado smoothie, White Peach Oolong Tea, oolong tea latte, and mango fruit tea. All were average and not the best. But, where they excel is the food. We had the delicious Korean Garlic Beef Noodles and thre Pork Belly onigiri. The popcorn chicken was okay in flavor (we have had better just down the other end of downtown), but it was definitely high quality with real pieces of chicken with garlic pieces and basil leaves. Prices are typical, yet still higher than what I would prefer. It is definitely not a frequent visit I can afford with our total being nearly $80. It was a great first visit experience. Remember to download their app to get your drink credits (buy 10 and get the 11th free). read more

Tried this place during their soft opening. PARKING - they reserved the front two spots for pick up or delivery so I had to park in the back area, there are some spots reserved for "Suite C." WAIT - no wait when I came in but if you order certain drinks like the honey brown rice milk tea you may wait up to 10 minutes since they brew it fresh. ATMOSPHERE - this is the old itea so it looks somewhat familiar but inside is modern, bright and a nice place to hang out with lots of tables/chairs. FOOD - I got two drinks. PRIME ALISHAN HIGH MOUNTAIN JINXUAN TEA - I wasn't sure what this was but figured it was probably a good tea to try since I like tea and it had a star next to it. It seems like similar (or is) milk oolong. I am a fan of tie guan yin and roasted oolong so it's similar except not as dark/roasted or deep roasted. It's a little lighter and has an almost jasmine flavor too. I got 80% sweetness and it was perfect to not be too sweet but not bitter. The tea flavor was good, strong and fragrant. Boba was pretty good, it had a bit of the rubbery texture that I'm not a huge fan of and could have been chewier. However, they give you a decent amount and it was sweet. HONEY BROWN RICE MILK TEA - my husband got this, it comes with basil seeds and crystal boba. He liked it/said it was good. They give you a lot of liquid and toppings so it keeps you full. Overall, a good boba place and I would definitely come back to try some of their fruit drinks. Their food seems interesting too. read more

Junenov Tea - soft opening menu - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Modern and bright boba shop located in a small plaza. There's a parking lot, but spots are limited. They have an extensive menu with plenty of drink and food options. There's a decent amount of seating inside and a restroom in the back. I ordered the Jasmine Blossom Milk Tea with added boba at 30% sweetness, and my bf ordered the Classic Boba Milk Tea at 50% sweetness. Both drinks were still pretty sweet. Mine didn't taste like a true 30% sweetness level. Nonetheless, both drinks were good, and the boba had a good texture. We also ordered the Basil Popcorn Chicken and Seasoned Curly Fries. Both were really yummy! The chicken was seasoned well with a slight kick. One thing I wish they had included was sauce on the side. The fries were delicious and reminded me of takoyaki because of the sauce drizzled on top. read more

Great new spot! Came here during their soft opening and was not disappointed. Parking can be a little tight as it's a small lot for a lot of shops. We were able to snag one as someone was coming out. As we entered we were immediately greeted. We decided to go with the mango lemon breeze at 30% sweetness (they can't modify ice for lemon breezes but sweetness level). We were given a buzzer and after a few minutes it vibrated. The drink itself was delicious and refreshing, really enjoyed the mango bits within. Lots of indoor seating and a great place to catch up with friends. We'll be coming back! read more

Drinks are excellent- all one size, generous and tall. Boba soft and fresh. Drinks customizable to sugar and ice etc. Food is hit or miss. Like their spicy popcorn chicken- reminiscent of previous iTea that was at this location. Didn't like lobster ball (crushed fake fish/lobster sticks), Soft deep fried tofu cooked right but bland (unless you load it up with mayo & sauce). Fried oysters was good though. Friendly but takes a while depending on crowd. Busy and tables usually full. Clean, casual and modern. read more

So we came across this new boba place during their soft opening week. The store is cute and it potentially has a crazy amount of stuff on their menu. But since we were there during soft opening they have 2 pages of menu items available . I tried their Guava lemon breeze with 50% sugar. I enjoyed it, I don't know if it's because of the fresh lime but the sugar tasted a bit different than other boba places. Guava tastes not as prominent because of the lime as well. Overall I give this drink a 3.75/5 Warning for parking. Not many spots for this shopping area. I'd say there's a change you'd have to park on the streets. read more

I used go to the one in pleasant hill and I have to say I go there since they opened a few years ago and I m a regular customer. Today I was in Pleasanton area for getting my hair done so I thought it would be nice to check this place out. The decoration is pretty similar to the other store. Looks clean and people are nice. However the popcorn chicken! Too much spice and I was wondering if they made a mistake! Sorry I have been getting the popcorn chicken in the pleasant hill location and I know how it tasted. At least the drinks were consistent with the other store. This store located in a small plaza but parking is easy. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! This is a hidden gem of boba spots in the Tri-Valley. All the drinks we've tried so far are delicious: - fresh mango pomelo sago - matcha oreo brûlée (recommend 50% sweetness) - honey brown rice milk tea (my personal favorite, also recommend 50% sweetness) - classic boba milk tea with brown sugar boba (recommend 100% sweetness) The thing that sets this place apart is the food. They have your regular snacks (popcorn chicken and calamari come in great portions and are crispy) but also have incredible entrees as well. Highly recommend the Korean style garlic beef noodles! read more

Absolutely love this place ever since they opened. I compare every other boba spot to this place because their food and drinks are just so consistent! Staff is also very nice and friendly every time. I do wish they closed a little later!!! Regardless, this is def my favorite boba spot! Never disappoints! read more

I tried their pork katsu Garlic noodles, chicken wings, popcorn chicken, garlic chicken wings and brown rice milk tea. All very delicious. I was happy that this replaced iTea and that indoor seatings resumed. The interior gives a modern, clean and comfortable setting which you would want to dine in here. Don't expect too much of their omurice rice as it's really just scramble egg over the rice. Staff was friendly but due to poor internet signal, you wouldn't be able to sign up for the reward system when you arrive. So download the app Junenov and sign up before you go. You are suppose to be able to scan your receipt after your purchase so save your receipt if you don't have your QR code ready. read more

New boba spot in downtown Pleasanton with great tea drinks. Large menu with food and drinks. I like the inside-very clean, bright and modern with plenty of seating inside.

Junenov consistently delivers when it comes to quality--both the drinks and the food are made fresh with quality ingredients, and it shows every time. That said, one ongoing frustration has really stood out. Whenever I order food, I'm never asked if I need a bag at the regular, and I end up having to carry multiple containers out by hand. It's a small detail, but it happens every single time and takes away from an otherwise solid experience. read more

Very nice owner and great customer service. It was my first time ordering the shrimp garlic noodles. When the owner asked how it was, I mentioned (not as a complaint) that the noodles were a little firmer than what I usually get at Chinese restaurants. He explained that they use fresh noodles and normally cook them that way so they don't get overcooked. About 10 minutes later, he surprised me with another plate cooked softer, which I liked much more. He even told me that next time I can just tell the cashier if I want the noodles softer and the kitchen will make it that way. This really shows how much they care about their customers. read more

4.5 stars Really good quality tea! Dare I even say.. the best in Pleasanton?? When we asked the cashier what's actually good since half the menu is a "popular recommendation", she said everything and honestly, she's not wrong LOL all 4 drinks we tried were good! Cute interior design, good lighting and plenty of seats. They have food too so if you're looking for quick Asian dinner and dessert, this is a good place! Also a great place to catch up with friends and even get some work done! Closeby to downtown Pleasanton so nice to go on a walk around the neighborhood. Parking lot is a little small and cramped, but not impossible. read more

There's always an issue every time I come to this location. The first time I went they ran out of the "P series" of drinks which are mostly their tropical flavored teas. I went back the other day and they're not only still out of this (2 months later), but the cashier was so confused with my question. I asked her if instead of getting the blended guava tea can I just have it over ice. And she kept saying yes it has ice it's blended into the drink. I kept trying to repeat myself in a way to make it clear to her that I want it on the rocks versus blended, and she still didn't understand. It was so frustrating. Also, after finally ordering something I didn't really want, the iced matcha red bean tea, I asked her if I can get 50% ice instead of the standard 100%, she said her register didn't give her that option. To top it all off, our drinks were sitting on the other side of the counter and my buzzer never went off until I followed up and saw that. Not sure if this is everyone's first job or this is just going to be the new norm with these young folks and jobs, but man was this frustrating. They need better training. I won't be back. There's so many other better tasting boba spots in the area! read more

I've been to the Pleasant Hill location but so happy there's now one in Pleasanton. This boba shop is in a small plaza with parking and they have a drink and snack menu. I tried the boba milk latte and it was delicious. The boba was soft and chewy. The cashier was so nice, apparently she had charged me for the matcha boba latte which is $1 more and so she came over to give me back $1. Most places are not honest about these things so I appreciated it. Boba shop was very clean I'll definitely be back! read more

Amazing popcorn chicken and calamari their combo is such a great deal, it's an entree + drink + free snack/onigiri. I love to get the basic boba milk tea or their mango sago (so similar to the heytea boom iykyk) it's called the mango pomelo sago but just remove pomelo (it's different than their mango sago drink) Very very good place read more

This location of Junenov Tea is located in Del Valle Plaza. There is a small shared parking lot here. I do like how it more bright and modern inside compared to the previous boba spot that was here - it definitely makes the shop more inviting and welcoming. This is my second time here, as I decided to revisit them again to give them another try after my poor experience last time, especially since they are still new. I ordered online for pick up this time. I ordered their Crab Avocado Onigiri and Jasmine Blossom Latte this time. Their onigiri is pretty good - it is just on the pricier side. Their Jasmine Blossom Latte is just okay, but it was definitely better than their Jasmine Blossom Milk Tea. read more
