Came to Honi Bear today for the first time. It was a Sunday, so it was a little busy. I ordered…read moreEarl Grey milk tea. Service was very slow. Probably waited 10 minutes. Seemed like there was only one person working. I was disappointed that there was hardly any human interaction. When you walk into the store nobody's greeting you and I had questions and nobody was there to answer them. What happened to customer service these days? Wow I'm from Orange County and customer service is Incredible there, but have found in the Pleasanton and Dublin, customer satisfaction doesn't seem to be important. That's really sad. My Earl Grey milk tea tasted nothing like Earl Grey and tasted just like a black oolong tea. Pretty disappointed, so I won't be returning.

Finally got to have a boba drink after passing my glucose tolerance test!…read more Decided to come here since being pregnant means avoiding caffeine. They have a coco series that's really good. Normally I'm used to seeing mango coconut. But this place had banana coconut and it was delicious. You could taste both banana and the coconut. The sago is cooked perfectly and same with the boba. The sweetness was perfect to my liking too! My only suggestion would be to use more ripe bananas since some banana pieces were clearly not ripe ones. Service wise, they work pretty quickly so my husband and I didn't have to wait long. All in all, probably coming back here given the chance.

I love their Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea and TGY Family Milk Tea. The tea flavor is really strong and…read morerich, and the boba is perfectly soft. Pudding is amazing too! Highly recommended! Tip: Very busy on summer Sundays, order online 15 mins ahead!

tp tea does NOT stand for toilet paper folks...it means taiwan professional. they are linked to…read morethat taiwanese brand that always gatekeeps inventing boba or something. well we're in AMERICA buddy so aint nobody claiming nothing. FREEDOM RAHHHH baristas are alright. small shop so wait outside. they place their drinks heytea/chicha style (in the lines). we got the golden osmanthus lemonade, tieguyan milk tea, and lychee aloe. MMMMM that stuff SLAPS. MMM better than chicha. golden osmanthus was so good and had a good amount of toppings and that paired so well with lemonade. tieguyan was DELISH like perfectly flavorful and creamy. lychee aloe was okay, flavor was lighter and very um lychee-like but i like strong flavors so it wasn't my favorite. overall would come back

Got two drinks the first time I came here!…read more The Mr sun mango with mango boba is my favorite! The mango boba tastes like fresh chewy boba! I thought it was mango popping boba when i first ordered it but it has the same texture as regular boba, but mango flavored. I loved it so much. My second drink is the strawberry version. Mr sun special with strawberry boba. Equally as good! Fantastic if you love strawberry! Im definitely coming back for the same drinks! They recommend mixing your drink before trying it!

Mango drink was quite good!…read more Service was great and fast. Ambiance nice for a quick take out. Parking is right at downtown, can be difficult.

Still one of my favorite places to get boba…read more Staff was always so friendly and helpful. Even I felt like I asked the same questions about size and boba everytime. :P The mango drink was the best I have tried in the Bay Area thus far. The taro drink was a pretty close 2nd. Ambiance is very nice. Few spots to sit at but always full, lively, crowded and fun. Saw lots of different groups of customers here. Definitely a favorite spot for a lot of people. I will come again.

7-8 workers here but really only one working. The rest just socializing and messing around. You…read morecould tell the one worker was super annoyed. We came here and ordered 4 drinks with no line in front of us. Maybe online orders delayed the entire process but it took forever to get our drinks. The place is small and smelled like cleaning chemicals mixed with tea smells. No real seating and no bathroom to use. The storefront is small and inside even smaller and narrow. The quality of the Matcha is super low quality and very bitter. While most places premix their matcha, the matcha here tasted gross and very bitter. Tasted old. The ones who ordered the matcha drinks didn't even finish half the drink before they tossed it. Such a waste for an expensive drink. Compared to boba guys, this place isn't even in the same universe. Everything seems low quality and the prices are just as or more expensive in comparison. We went here because it was closer to the event we were attending but live and learn, the drive to bishop would have been worth it. And lastly they don't modify any of their drink orders such as less or more ice... or even sweeter less sweet. This is not the norm with how many other shops have options to customize drinks to order. With how poor quality and balanced the drinks were, they may benefit from some adjustments. Long story short = low quality not worth the price. Will not return and will stick with the tried and true staple in the area Boba Guys

Service: 5/5 very sweet lady she was very responsive and helped us out as first timers…read more Food/ Drink: 4/5 we ordered the horchata, strawberry matcha latte, and hojicha latte without coffee. The best was definitely the hojicha latte, it's roasted matcha with some sort of tea as a base. Very delicious! The horchata was warm at the bottom and cold at the top. Pretty chalky but has a light nutty flavor, I liked it but my boyfriend did not like due to the thickness. It does water down with the ice. Then the strawberry matcha was pretty good, the strawberry chucks makes it hard to enjoy it, regardless it's very good. Very satisfied with all the drinks. Ambiance: 4/5 it's small not a study spot but it's nice and homey. No music and doesn't get busy it seems. Check this place out and help out local shops!

I was visiting the East Bay Area and looked in Yelp for Matcha spots. This cute place had great…read morereviews. I ordered the strawberry matcha, the Spanish latte, and and Hojicha latte (which ice never had). All three drinks were phenomenal! The sweetest lady was creating all the drinks by herself and she asked a few times about milk preference, etc. to make sure the drinks were made correctly. I wish I lived closer because I would absolutely visit again.

The junbi shop is so cute! When you walk in, the atmosphere is really inviting with the bright…read moreyellow colors. I'm gonna be honest, I had their matcha from their OG store in Westwood when they were called Sip! I always thought their matcha was good, but I only got to enjoy it when I was going to school around there which was brief! Aside from now aging myself, I got the Guava Matcha from them and the employee recommended getting less sweet if I don't like overly sweet drinks. I have to say, it was perfect sweetness for me! The balance of matcha flavor and guava was 5/5. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm shopping in the area. It was satisfying and makes me crave their matcha!

This is the only Junbi location I've visited twice for their limited-edition BT21 and Snoopy…read moremerchandise. I just like how easy the parking is compared to other locations in the Bay Area. The staff was welcoming every time I opened the door. They were kind enough to tell me which seasonal drinks I could adjust to oat milk, and the rest you can adjust the sweetness and add toppings for an extra charge. I tried their Snoopy Chocolate Hazelnut Matcha Latte with oat milk, less sweetness, and less ice. There was a strong Nutella flavor with good consistency, but the matcha wasn't strong enough for me when I didn't mix it. I even got myself a Snoopy matcha plush keychain as my birthday gift for $18, which is pricey but durable enough to hang on your bag. It's a pretty small shop, yet it's covered in cute and colorful decor. Plus, the tables are clean since most customers usually wait for their drinks and leave rather than sit down.

I will update my review on this specific Ume Tea. We have been here many times and utilize their…read morelittle drive thru. They have limited drink options compared to bigger brick and mortar Ume Tea stores. However, their drinks seem more "quality" compared to their larger counterparts. I always get their Creme Brulee Thai tea from this store. The two workers make it well; especially the male worker. He used to be at the San Ramon store; but, he transferred to this store. The choices are that you either drive thru or order at the window. Now if they'd just include more drink options and a couple of food options; I'd be happy!

Thought a drive through boba shop was genius until I just tried it and it was a complete failure…read more You drive up one window on the side of the building and place your order by QR scan or person. Then you drive around to the other side of the building and wait for your order but then you have some dumbass honking at you cuz his order is ready before yours. Why he couldn't back up I don't know so then I have to go move and park my car and wait for my order so this was a complete failure of execution and business planning mixed with stupid drivers. Won't be coming back to this non convenience ever again. Ok now I feel bad and changed it from one star to 3 stars. The drink I got was actually pretty good - Coco Mango This was my first time here and the process was not smooth and probably faults of many parties. I might be willing to try it again but now reading the San Ramon location is better maybe I'll try that one next time. Maybe the drive through situation wasn't for me.

Great ice cream and I like that the store is open late. Went with the whole family and was serviced…read morepretty quickly. The staff is nice. My wife also liked her ice cream.

I love this place for few reasons: 1. Its the only good…read moreicecream place open till late 2. Meadowland closes at 9:00pm so if you have dinner by 9:30pm or 10:00pm and wanna walk downtown Pleasanton this is the best place. 3. Icecreams are trial and error and I had the strawberry with lot of toppings and it was out of world. 4. Gulab Jamun also I tried and was just ok. You can skip it 5. The chocolate and bananas one was ok too. Place is pricey but worth it ! Sharing recommended !

Play NBA Jam for free!…read more Cold cut w/pate banh mi was excellent and baguette was good enough where it doesn't cut the roof of your mouth. The sandwich was very filling and most importantly my tummy was happy. RECOMMEND! TIP: order in advance as there was only one person doing everything

Peanuts in the banh mi.....? Good thing I don't have a peanut allergy. :X…read more There were only a couple of peanuts, so my hunch is that maybe scooping utensils are being shared for different condiments in the kitchen and the peanuts accidentally slipped into the sandwich. Either way, there are zero ingredient descriptions of the banh mi in the menu displays here so no warning about the peanuts if the addition is intentional. The banh mi itself was just okay. Decent baguette crunch. I got the grilled pork version and the pork was tasty though a little tough. There was something overly gritty in some parts of the sandwich and it might have been pate not being spread smoothly and evenly. Little to no pickle taste in the daikon and carrots. Also got a matcha bubble waffle. Bitter burnt on the edges. Green passionfruit tea was pretty standard and it hit the spot on a warm day. Eh, overall wouldn't say it's a place you'd go out of your way for.

Same great shop, but the name has changed on the door. It's now Matsu Matcha and the matcha is…read moreyummy! In addition to the matcha drinks they also serve matcha Gelato (which I haven't had a chance to try yet). Absolutely come check out this place while you're waiting for Somi Somi.

They are usually fairly quick and when we come by it isn't usually too crowded (weekend nights). It also feels healthier to drink these than my normal milk tea so I feel a little better about it. lol The place is a bit small with some sitting areas that are usually available because most people that go take their drinks and leave.
