Ordered their jasmine milk tea which is my go to and it was just so sad. The drink tasted like they just added milk and water together. It resembled milk tea but had no tea taste whatsoever. I didn't even finish the drink because it was just not worth the calories. Would definitely not recommend it. However the ambiance and interior of the place was pretty nice. read more

It's all about that avocado smoothie life! Mr. Green Bubble knows how to make a damn good avocado smoothie. I know you're probably like, "Well, how in the hell can you screw THAT up?" But trust me, it's been done before. I much prefer this location over the one on Piedmont Avenue. For one thing, the employees are so much more inviting there and they actually seem to know what they're doing. Not to throw digs at the Oakland location, but this location is Walnut Creek has got it goin' one! With the two parking garages and lots of street parking around, it's easy to snag a spot to park. The interior is bright and clean with your choice of tables, counter, or sofa seating. They've got an extensive variety of drinks available ranging from milk tea to smoothies to freshly brewed and flavored teas. If you know me, you know I go cray cray over my avo smoothies. I frequent my usual suspects for my fixes, but I've since added Mr. Green Bubble to my list. What I really like about this spot is that they'll allow you to mix up the flavors. I've been to a few boba tea joints that don't allow this which is understandable considering the process. But, I LOVE the options that I can get here. Maybe I don't want just a "regular" avo smoothie. Maybe I want an avocado mango or an avocado coconut smoothie instead (don't judge it before you try it because it's bombtastic!). Oh, you wanna mix and match them flavors? Don't worry; Green Bubble has gotchu! They've also got food here which I have yet to try, but I've been eyeing their egg puffs like cray. Alas, I can't end this review without commending the hardworking staff here! The staff is cheery, fun, and quick to assist whoever is waiting in the lobby. Mr. Green Bubble has a very inviting atmosphere, and this along with their bomb ass smoothies is what will make me a repeat customer. read more

If I could put half a star, Mr. Green Bubble would be 2.5 stars. My boyfriend and I arrived at around 8 PM on a Tuesday night, not busy at all, but not once did we feel welcomed as others wrote about on here. Honestly, their menu is pretty overwhelming. They have hella stuff to choose from so the both of us looked so lost. It was obvious it was our first time. But not once did any of the two workers tried to explain anything about the products they sell, explain their menu. No help at all for us first timers. Not even a "welcome in," it quickly went to a, "what can I get you guys." We came to try their waffle + ice cream combo, but guess what, they don't even have the ice cream flavors on the menu. How inconvenient. They don't have much to choose from either. Green tea, Oreo, rocky road, butter pecan (I think), and one or two more flavors. We tried their coconut pandan mochi waffle + green tea. You get two waffles with only one scoop of ice cream. An additional scoop is pretty cheap, but I just feel like you should get at least two scoops of ice cream with your waffle choice. The mochi waffle was exactly what I expected. The inside captured that mochi texture decently. Sticky and sweet. It is a bit hard to cut the mochi waffle into pieces so just be prepared to pretend you're cutting a medium raw green steak! The both of us did agree that their ice cream is pretty good. Not too sweet, thick and creamy, and perfectly "icey," if that makes sense. I do give them props for the delicious dessert. We ended up ordering an extra scoop of ice cream ($1.09 with tax), and their Oreo tasted great. My boyfriend really liked how icey or frozen it was. It didn't melt too quick so no ice cream soup here. Do I recommend this place? They seem to be popular with their bubble tea drinks and are pretty fast with making them, so yaaa, sure maybe. Would I come back? Not anytime soon. This place, to me, doesn't give me that "omg let's go again soon" vibes. read more

Had never tried Mr. Green Bubble before but did not have a good experience at this one. Ordered a black milk tea boba and popcorn chicken, which I feel like are basics for boba places (so should be hard to mess up - I was wrong). The drink had a lot of ice and tasted very watered down. I could barely make out the tea flavor. The boba texture was okay, but it wasn't sweetened like other boba places are and had no flavor. Maybe if you get 100% sweetness the drink would taste better? Or maybe just like sweeter water... The popcorn chicken was even more disappointing. Waited over 15 minutes for it and it tasted very overcooked. The chicken meat was crunchy and rubbery. I couldn't even finish it because of the unsettling texture. I don't think I will be back to this place... read more

Stopped by with my family. We got taro, lychee black and rose honey with boba. We also got popcorn chicken mild. The drinks were ok, a little watered down. Although I do appreciate that they use reusable, recyclable cups. The popcorn chicken was spicy even though we ordered it mild. I'd hate to see what hot would taste like. The flavors were good but we ordered it for my 4 yr old that can only tolerate a little bit of spice. I would rate the spice a 5/6 out of 10. The place was nice and clean. The staff were all nice and accommodating. read more

I love MGB, this is usually my go-to boba place. Though its a chain their boba is solid and they have a ton of drink options. I've done a handful of big orders ($300-$400) for my staff and they always travel well when delivered by doordash. read more

Their spicy tofu is what we keep coming back for. My boyfriend loves their drinks, but I prefer ShareTea. We get a level 3 spicy every time, and this is the only boba shop that makes actually CRISPY fried tofu. The service is questionable. The music is often so loud the employees have to yell back at us and can never hear our order. Last time we went the young girl working the register refused to take us, making direct eye contact and then awkwardly and obviously ignoring us while she continued doing everything but taking our order. We politely assumed she was really busy so we waited... and waited... we figured after a while she wanted us to use the kiosk. Just say that... it would've been more polite as well. Not like there was anyone else in the store ordering. Overall, the snacks are good, the boba is good, the service and atmosphere is uncomfortable at best. read more

I have never really gone into any of these milk tea places before and I'm not a fan of boba. But since I was doing construction in front of this place, I decided to try a couple different drinks and they were pretty damn good I must say. I don't get the boba but the smoothies are bomb ! Been getting drinks here after I get off work at least once a week for me and my wife and she loves them too read more

My bf ordered their boba and eggpuff for me so I didn't get to choose the eggpuff flavor. The boba was good and at a decent size. We got matcha eggpuff and it was in the heart shape, which I don't think I saw it anywhere else in the area so far. Always a fan of eggpuff and I can't wait to try out their mochi eggpuff! read more

Found a staple in my boba drink. Gross i thought i chipped a tooth just to find a staple in my boba

The first time we tried mr. green bubble was great we went into the store order what we wanted it was perfect. We were excited for our second visit in order to head online, this is where things went very wrong! The only thing correct about our orders was the flavor of milk tea the sweetness levels were wrong one should've been 30% was at least half to 75% and one was supposed to be 0% sweeten that was at least 50% sweet. Also wanted with my taro tea with rainbow fruit jellies instead of tapioca pearls. I got a combination of both which having both textures makes it very unappealing. We will not be going back to Mr. Green Bubble, there are plenty of other Boba tea establishments that can get an online order correct. read more

You would think that boba plays would have almond milk tea as a staple...but after expensive research one day, Mr. Green Bubble was the only place in the area that had it. After not having any boba drink over the last few years I was excited to go beyond my quickly, purple cow, and other UC Davis student boba start pack kit. But I was greatly disappointed with the lack of flavor in my milk tea. And the level of sweetness was, let's just say non-existent. It tasted like hot water, straight up. And not hot at all but warm. My friend ordered a drink as well and did not seem happy. Maybe I caught them on an off day but, nonetheless. Thank you but I'll stick to my starter pack kit. read more

Roaming downtown Walnut Creek on a Saturday afternoon after our lunch, we stumbled across a very packed boba tea joint. Being the boba drink fanatics we are, we had to see for ourselves what the hype was. The name is quite a misnomer as the plastic cups are disposable yet almost reusable with the more than average thickness of the cups and lids used. Definitely not very green. On with our menu selections - Snow Storm and the usual fav oolong milk tea. The Snow Storm is an over-priced gimmicky treat with one scoop of ookies and cream ice cream and cookies and cream flavored Pocky sticks stuffed into an egg puff cone. There was hardly any ice cream and it was hardly shareable. It cost nearly $7!!! The oolong milk tea was tasty with a deep roast flavor that was not masked by the creamer used. We would have preferred the boba to be slightly ess sweet but otherwise it was cooked to perfection with the right balance of tenderness and chewiness. Price was average, however, they actually charged 50 cents for creamer, which seems unreasonable. Come for the drinks, and not the ice cream. Will definitely revisit when in Walnut Creek again! read more

Originally, I was psyched to see there was a Mr. Green Bubble closer to where I live now. The one on Piedmont Ave. had been my go-to when I lived in Oakland. However, when I tried to order a drink with only 1/2 the amount of creamer, they flat out refused. This surprised me, as it's actually a menu option in Piedmont. I got some song and dance about them "getting in trouble" if they did any customization, and how they do it on Piedmont because that's where the owners are, they could be held liable for a bad drink (?), everyone would want to do it too, etc. Sigh. It would literally involve just adding a menu option and all the drinks are already customized *anyway*. I'm just going to go elsewhere where it's no sweat to halve the amount. read more

Mr. Green Bubble - Delicious Popcorn Chicken - Bubble Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I like their variety of boba beverages, but I cannot recommend this place based on principles. When you walk in, you have to go to one of their two kiosks to view the menu and place your order. As they are a cashless establishment, you have to pay at the kiosk. I noticed after I ordered and paid for my boba beverage, that I was charged $0.50 for a bag. Nevermind the fact that the county caps bag fee at $0.10 and they're charging five times the legal limit, but I don't need a bag for my single beverage order. I told them, and was told the bag fee was automatic, and they can't do anything about it. So, bear in mind when you patronize this establishment that they will charge you a $0.50 nuisance fee for every order. There are many other options in the immediate vicinity. read more

This was a cute and cozy boba shop. I noticed this place has gotten recently many bad reviews from yelpers, but fortunately I did not have a bad experience at this place today. In fact, I thought the staff was nice and friendly, the service was quick, and the boba drink itself (although not the best) was quite decent. I got their Thai milk tea with boba. Their boba was a little bit more chewy that I would like them, but the flavor was spot on! The boba was properly sweetened, and it was delicious even on its own. And as for the Thai milk tea itself, it was just OK. The sweetness was fine, but I feel like the milk tea could be creamier. If only they could make their drink more creamy and less watery, this place might just be my new favorite. But I wouldn't knock this place down too much, especially because in terms of the price my drink was only $5 (tax included, and boba topping included.) For that price, I thought the drink that I got was super decent. And I would certainly go back to try the other drinks. read more

I come here from time to time when I'm in Downtown WC and want some milk tea - I like how ordering is contactless and the shop is typically spacious. Waiting on drinks takes a little longer than other locations I've been to, but it's not like I'm in a rush most of the time. As of late, my favorite has been the Purple Cloud latte; it's creamy but you can taste the ube! read more

Administration, please treat your workers right. Today I was craving a mango boba drink and walked in the store to see a poor girl struggling to keep up with the rush of orders she was receiving. And she was the only one working the register!!! Green bubble, with all the business you get, I bet it's not hard to staff more people up front. Poor girl was almost crying when making the drinks. This is not a healthy workplace, please care for your employees mental well-being. read more

My review for Mr. Green Bubble will be the first review that I'm writing and have actually never been there physically. Now I'm not much of a boba fan (fight me) but my Fiance surely is so we go often. Whenever she craves boba, I know that the Popcorn Chicken Bento is what I'm having for lunch. The first thing that I absolutely appreciate is that they don't fold the box in so that the chicken is crispy and crunchy by the time it gets to me. The chicken here is perfect. Fried to perfection, the right amount of salt, and the juicy inside make this a masterpiece. On top of that, the portions here are amazing. I could eat this until I'm disgustingly full and still have enough for a meal in a few hours. Sometimes when I feel extra bold, I'll get the level 2 that gets my mouth going. The heat is hot enough to make me feel uncomfortable but good enough to make me keep wanting more. That's all I really have for Mr. Green Bubble. When I expand my boba palate., I'll update the review. read more

They have a new drink called mango blaze. There's no description of it online, but I gave it a try. So how does it taste? If you're familiar with preserved Chinese plum, I think you'll immediately understand this description: a mango smoothie with a taste of li hing mui (sweet, salty, and sour) and a hint of chili. I don't know if that's the official description, but that's what it tasted to me. Hope this helps someone else who may be curious! Editing to say that I've been a big fan of Mr. Green Bubble for many years. They've always had great service and good drinks. I just wasn't a big fan of the mango blaze, but that's just personal taste. read more

I got some boba craving and I am glad this is close by! The facility is pretty clean and casual. There are a few sitting areas to either drink and eat or to just wait for your drink/food order. I ordered my usual: house black tea with boba (tapioca pearls)- You can customize the sweetness and how much ice. The boba was chewy and cooked perfect! Mochi pandan waffle - Delicious! It is crunchy, chewy and sweet. I love this! They also have a reward system so make sure you sign up for that if you are a boba drinker. Definitely will be back for some boba whenever I am in the area. read more

Mr. Green Bubble has been a go-to of mine for bubble tea and snacks for several years now. The food quality is always great and I love the bubble tea as well. For COVID specifically, they have you order online and you pick up in the store on separate tables placed in front of the cash register. There's plenty of distance between the tables and the cash register so it feels like they're taking COVID seriously. The Oreo Cookie Egg Puff was a great dessert and tasted sweet and fluffy. They add some extra sugar on top to make it a little bit sweeter, but not in an overwhelming way. The popcorn chicken is cooked well and at level 3 has just the right amount of spice. I like a lot of spice typically, but I found that at higher levels they just add more pepper (which I think is mainly cayenne) so the basil flavor gets drowned out. Level 3 has a good balance between spice and actually tasting the flavor of the chicken. read more

You would expect a Milk Tea / Boba place to have good tea, but that isn't always the case. Mr. Green Bubble has an outstanding selection of teas and the best part is they always taste good! My personal favorite is the Osmanthus Oolong which tastes like just the milk tea I would get when vacationing in Taiwan. So why only 3 stars? Its been very inconsistent.. sometimes it feels watered down and sometimes the boba is either over cooked to under cooked. The inconsistency isn't limited to milk tea/boba. Their snacks/dessert has been inconsistent. The first time I tried their chocolate egg puffs, for example, were fluffy and chocolate was oozing.. second time it was try and chocolate had dissolved into the batter. If they're so inconsistent, why do I keep coming back? Well first off it's the conveniences - they have one of the best online ordering and in-store tablets. Second, I can understand with Covid that they are low staffed at times. With that said, if things change I will post a follow-up review. read more

5/14/22 I dunno if it's just what I picked or what, but everything was quite boring and wasn't well executed. 1. Jasmine Bubble Milk Tea, 16oz Small $4.50: Was my gf's. Didn't taste it. 2. Grapefruit Paradise (+ Honey Boba $0.50, Rainbow Jelly $0.65, Strawberry Popping Boba $0.75): This was mine. First off, the extras took up literally 50% of the volume, not exaggerating. Secondly, It was like 50% boba, 45% strawberry popping boba, and 5% rainbow jelly, despite what I ordered. Then, there's the ice. So... I sipped about 3x and all the juice was GONE.... just a mess of boba left. The juice itself didn't taste like grapefruit and just straight up sucked. 1/10 3. Lychee Lemonade $4.75: So, it did taste good. Lychee flavored lemonade (also probably flavored water.) But do you really want to pay nearly $5 for a cup of synth water? 3/10 I wouldn't come back. 1/5 #boba #walnutcreek #bobatea read more

We used to like Mr. Green Bubble in Walnut Creek. However, the quality of food in the last few visits did not seem as good as in the past, and the visit on 7/30 is a final "no" to us. We ordered two drinks, Takoyaki and the salt and pepper chicken wings; instead of the salt and pepper wings, we were given the sweet and spicy chicken wings, which we found out after we left the store. We returned to the store and here's what happened next: 1) No apology given 2) "Right" order received in 10 minutes 3) The wings received are salt and pepper - or I should say, how they looked like. We left the store, and later found out the wings tasted salt and pepper then sweet and spicy. Obviously, they re-cooked the wings by covering the wrong order of sweet and spicy with salt and pepper. I strongly believe if you did it wrong the first time, you could at least do it right the second time. And this made us start wondering how Mr Green Bubble prepares and serves food to their daily customers. In terms of the Thai tea, there's no tea flavor, basically orange-colored water with SO much ice in it even though I requested less ice. It is such an unfortunate turn out after we'd been their customer for years. read more

Ordered during SIP, we had previously tried the boba at the Piedmont location and were craving some fried chicken dishes, so ordered boba + food from the Walnut Creek location this time. First a quick heads-up: ordering from DoorDash is a *significant* markup compared to their own ordering online option. I know there's always a markup with 3rd party delivery companies, but especially in these times, ordering directly from the cafe ensures they don't have to share any commission AND is cheaper for you. For example, their wheel cake is $4.99 on DD and $3.99 from the cafe directly. Their Thai milk tea and boba hit the spot. I loved the intense flavor. But seeing as how this was primarily a food order for us, it lost stars on that front. We ordered spicy popcorn chicken, which wasn't too bad (and level 3 was certainly spicy!!) - as well as the fried chicken bento set. And on the fried chicken steak there was a real issue with the texture of the chicken - tasted rubbery and gummy. It was so hard to eat, it compelled my partner to Google what on earth that texture was, and it's something called "woody breast" chicken. Yes, it's an actual thing, and it apparently comes from chickens being grown too fast. I'm sorry to report that but felt that our meal was memorable for the wrong reasons. For what it's worth, we'd go for the beverages but not the food. read more

During this quarantine time it's nice to see this business has everything sealed up and safe when delivered (door dash delivery) Pros: Thai milk tea is delicious! It's full of flavor and not watered down like some other boba places ( ex quickly's). Delivered food was packaged and safe . Basil, garlic chicken is delicious ( non spicy) Cons: why I'm giving it 4/5. They forgot to package the BOBA STRAWS, which defeats the purpose of getting boba :( . So currently eating pearls with a spoon and drinking Thai tea straight from the cup like an ordinary person. I'm going to order again to see if the straws will be packaged. read more

We were recommended this dessert spot by a friend so we decided to check it out. My girlfriend and I got there around 8pm and it was complete empty which was nice. The inside has a very captivating look to it, with plenty of seats, a couch and board games. Overall looks like a pretty cool spot to hang out with friends. Unfortunately, the service and staff didn't live up to how inviting the place looked. We weren't greeted by the cashier, it was more of a "what can I get you?". My girlfriend and I obviously looked pretty confused about their menu because it was so big and the lettering was hella small. Both people working the front didn't even ask if we had any questions or at least any recommendations. Idk about you, but I think if the service lacks..so will everything else so I was pretty disappointed. We ordered the coconut pandas mochi waffle with green tea ice cream. The dessert didn't disappoint. You're given two waffles but with only one scoop of ice cream which imo wasn't enough. The plastic knife and fork made it hella hard to cut through and even harder because it was in a tiny box. I'm glad we enjoyed the dessert for the most part otherwise it would've been a super terrible experience. They do have other items on their menu like food and bubble tea. Some customers did come in for the bubble tea so I'm guessing it taste good. Anywhooo: do I recommend this dessert spot in Walnut Creek? Answer: for the dessert, yes but don't expect a grand welcome with awesome customer service. #FinallyELITE read more

A little bit of an irritating experience to be honest. I ordered the chicken wings combo that comes with a boba drink. When I went to order what kind of drink I wanted, it only gave me milk tea as an option which I thought was strange. So in the request section, I put that I please get a green tea. As soon as I put my order in, they called me up to tell me that they could not do that. This literally did not make any sense to me considering that the milk, tea, and the green tea at this location is literally the exact same price so why would it matter if I wanted green tea instead of milk tea? I first asked them very politely if they would allow me to do a green tea since it is 110° outside, and I did not want to drink a milk tea. They tried to give me some spiel about how they weren't allowed to do that. How about you? Don't put a combo as an option if you can't actually get what drink you want. Like, that literally does not make any sense to me. My food and drink was decent, but the customer service is at 0 out of 10 for me. Much better boba places to go to in downtown Walnut Creek. Parking sucks here too! read more

I tried Mr. Green Bubble recently and I ordered their Amber Pearl Latte? I think it's called -- it was really good. I love how you can choose what kind of milk you'd like made with your drink as well as the sweetness and ice levels. I also ordered their ube Mochi waffle and let me just say, that was the best and most filling waffle I've ever had. I also love that they're down the street from my workplace. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because of their fried mushrooms. They were tasty but I also feel like they could've been better. Of course, that's just my personal opinion and experience. I look forward to coming back and ordering something new though! read more
