I don't recommend the Mango Sago here because it lacks mango and the taste is not appealing. The…read morefirst taste was of artificial flavors that got better as I mixed it. I didn't see any mango pieces, just some kind of a puree in the bottom. I was surprised at how small this drink was compared to my wife's drink. The Mango Sago at I-Tea tastes so much better and has pieces of mango that you can enjoy. My wife had the Matcha Strawberry which was much better than my drink and is the only reason that I gave a 3 star rating instead of two.

It was very juicy and crunchy. I loved it a lot. If you are hungry, definitely try the chicken. Parking is rough here so get the first parking spot you can find or try the free lots.

We originally came for the Fresh Strawberry Lemon Breeze, but they were sold out. No worries though, the staff recommended the Mango Pomelo, and it ended up being a great choice. The kids absolutely loved it and finished every last drop. We also ordered the Popcorn Chicken and Golden Sesame Balls, and both were excellent. The popcorn chicken was crispy, juicy, and came with a surprisingly generous portion. The chopped garlic on top is such a simple touch, but it really takes the flavor up a notch. The golden sesame balls came out hot and fresh with the perfect chewy texture. Friendly service, tasty food, and a convenient location make this an easy recommendation. If you're in Castro Valley and looking for a quick snack or boba run, i-Tea is definitely worth a visit. Looking forward to coming back to finally try that Strawberry Lemon Breeze!

She was extremely nice and accommodating, even outside of the bakery's business hours since we were super late. We taste tested and loved ALL the flavors, but ended up with matcha, ube, and vanilla. During the day of the wedding, Natalie and her team promptly delivered this beautiful 3 tiered custom themed cake. It was completely hassle free (I don't even know when she dropped it off on the hectic day), and exactly how we imagined it to be. Additionally all the guests loved the design and especially the flavor, so we were definitely feeling a little proud for choosing for this place. Thank you Natalie for this amazing cake!!

I can't believe I haven't written a review for a business my kids and I frequent all the time!…read moreWe've been coming to Always Yours since it opened. Hands down they have the best drinks, cookies, macarons, cakes, and now salt bread! I always come to get treats for my kid's teachers (for their birthdays, teacher appreciation week, just because, etc.). I've brought friends visiting the Bay Area to this bakery, which they have loved. Always Yours also has fun cup sleeve events, macaron classes and afternoon tea from time to time. We love supporting small businesses and this one is definitely worth supporting! P.S. with all these drink places popping up in the area...we still think the drinks at Always Yours not only taste better, but also are of higher quality.

Everything…read moresounded delicious and what we ordered (scallion pancake chicken wrap, garlic Parmesan tater tots, popcorn chicken) was PERFECTION. The scallion pancake was expertly crisp on the outside, yet still pliable and forgiving. the popcorn chicken was tasty enough to stand alone without a dipping sauce (we're on a Thai sweet chili kick.) I believe they are seasoned with 5 spice. It was pretty empty when we came around 12:30, and when we left around 1:15, it was packed with a line out of the door. I look forward to visiting again, S&S!

My husband thought the sweetness and bitterness level of his viet coffee w/ cheese foam wasn't balanced well. They also gave a pretty thick layer of cheese foam, which may be a pro or a con depending on your tastes. The boba in both our drinks was also very clumpy and the texture was average. Not something I'd be excited for but decent enough to satisfy a boba craving.
