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.

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!

The Mango Crystal is really good! Matcha Oreo is also one of my favorites! Very bright and roomy. Comfortable place to just sit and catch up with friends. Lots of parking spot. Friendly staff. Great service.

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

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).

Shizuoka Matcha Sumuji (7.50)

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.

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.

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!

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.

Available menu during soft opening

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.

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.

Garlic Shrimp Noodle
W O.

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.

Order at the counter

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. I had the fresh strawberry summer breeze zero sweetness and added grass jelly. So refreshing and loved the generous amount of grass jelly. I'll be back for sure!

This has happened 3-4 time in the last 6 months. Random zero operation days that they'll just be closed during advertised hours of operation. Staff used to be much friendlier; most recently we get the inattentive worker with AirPods in that barely acknowledge us. Our latest visit we came around lunchtime with plans to enjoy a refreshing smoothie at Delucci Park. The smoothie was very watered down and almost tasteless... I walked back from the park to see if they would remake it and the door was locked with nobody inside. Something has definitely changed about this place in the last year or so, and unfortunately, not for the better.

I came here to try their most popular menu: Himalayan Chiya (hot) w/ almond milk- less sweet, not too much spice, yet comforting to drink since I had a dry throat earlier.

The interior was bright, modern, and comfortable. Soft ethnic music played in the background. There were several smaller tables as well as a central seating area with cozy armchairs and a low table next to a welcoming wall filled with games and books to borrow at leisure. Definitely recommended!

Our recent visits have been to return for the avocado smoothie, which is not a common drink offering at Boba places, and popcorn chicken. The avocado smoothie is okay and not the best, however, it will do given none of the nearby places offer this drink. But the real winner is their popcorn chicken which comes with a decently sized-portion and the batter is perfect in amount and flavor. We don't particularly like our food spicy, so we always request for them to not add additional pepper sprinkled on top. That makes it perfect for us. However, if you like your food more spicy, definitely let them know. The only way to do this is if you order directly through a cashier or you somehow get their attention before they finish your order. Otherwise, ordering through the kiosk does not allow you to input any special requests. Service is not particularly fast especially when they get bombarded by the students from the middle schools and high school in the afternoon. I have yet to try their milk tea, but I haven't come to want to take the chance given one of my favorites is not that far of a walk from Honi-Bear. In any case, the location is great in the heart of downtown to treat ourselves to some drinks and snacks!
