Honeydew MT  Brown Sugar Jasmine
Anthony Z.

Since I was visiting my family back in the bay from SoCal, I decided to look for a new boba shop to try with my little brother. All the ones near me in Alameda were chains, and this one popped up a short drive away with a name I've never seen before. When I was close to the shop, I could barely see the entrance and didn't know where to park, since the plaza parking gate had a sign that said "Sorry, closed". It seemed to be electronically activated since I saw a few cars leave. I had to find street parking, which was iffy in a neighborhood in which I felt was kind of sketchy. The signage for the boba shop is small, but it should be right in the plaza with the parking. Since I came after dinner hours, I couldn't really see the sign, and made a few loops trying to make sure the store was there. The interior was small with no bathroom. I ordered a Brown Sugar Jasmine and a Honeydew Milk tea. My brother really enjoyed the honeydew milk tea with lychee jelly, and he isn't usually someone who likes milk teas as much as me. The sweetness was good, but it was a little too sweet for my taste. Otherwise, no complaints. The same can be said for the Brown Sugar Jasmine. I would recommend 75% sugar when ordering from here. I could taste hints of molasses meaning they used genuine brown sugar, but it kind of overpowered the Jasmine taste. Overall, I would've definitely enjoyed the drink more at a lower sugar level, but it was still good. (I was offered a free sugar adjustment, but I was like w/e). The boba pearls are really good though. They have that soft exterior with a little firm interior, so they were both easy to chew with a good amount of bounce. They also were sweet when chewed, so it doesn't feel like you're chewing gum that's lost flavor. Overall a 4 star experience, could be better with the parking situation and larger signs to show its a boba place, but I understand it may not be under their control. The highlight is pretty good boba pearls, and I would recommend 75% sugar.

Mango fruit tea with popping boba

Even though the place is located in the most random hidden place ever the service was fast even with one worker, and they had a deal (buy 3 get 1 free) which is awesome! The drinks were good and the sizes were perfect, i would come back if I was in the area it just was a struggle to find parking.

Paid too much for disappointment
Dionna T.

I ordered this via doordash. I got the brown sugar fresh milk with 25% sweet. When I took my first sip, it was as if the drink was 125% sweetness. I was soo disappointed. I just gave birth so I wanted something amazing to enjoy but this was a no go for me. I paid $10 for this drink to go to waste. If you have a sweet tooth then this place is definitely for you but if you're someone who likes semi sweet drinks then probs not the best place to come. Almost taste like diabetes.

House milk tea with boba
Miranda T.

I live right down the street and decided to give this place a try after seeing their sign on the corner of Fruitvale. There are not many boba places on this side of Oakland so I'm glad they're here! service was great and the boba milk tea was delicious. After the drinks were made they told us to give it a try and that they would adjust the sweetness of it wasn't to our liking which we appreciated. Will definitely be back. Come support this small business

Thai milk tea and roasted oolong milk tea
Brian L.

I was in the Fruitvale area and I was craving for some cold drinks. I went on Yelp to search for a milk tea shop in the area. I found One Milk Tea and want to give it a try. I'm usually very selective with my milk tea, I went ahead and ordered their famous Roasted Oolong and Thai tea for my girlfriend. Their milk tea tasted amazing with strong tea and less sugar in it. I will definitely recommend to those want to try some new in the area. They also offer outside delivery to customers.

Showed up at 2pm on a Friday when their hours say they're open. Doors were closed and no one was there. Waste of time.

I have been to several places that offer acai bowls, and Main Squeeze in Alameda does a great job!…read more Of course, the place could use more seating, but I'm okay with taking my bowl to-go. I was there on a warm Sunday, just to try their acai bowls. There's four acai bowls on the menu board, so I asked the gentleman behind the counter....."which is the best acai bowl?" With confidence, he said...."the Oasis Bowl." He likes the Oasis Bowl because it features seasonal fruit. That means the recipe and taste experience can change with the seasons. When I was there, the seasonal fruit was pineapple. This place makes a good acai bowl. For $13.00, it's not overflowing with fruit toppings. Instead, it's packed with fresh fruit, crispy granola, chia seeds, honey and coconut flakes on top of a acai base. It's definitely a meal, not a fruit bowl snack. The interior is very clean. It has a small outdoor patio. According to signage, there's no indoor seating. Main Squeeze is located near the Park Street Downtown. It's walking distance from the Alameda Theatre, public parking lot, and Alameda High School.

I went to Main Squeeze for a smoothie. I ordered the Orange…read moreYou Glad, it has red apple, pear, carrots, celery, ginger & tumeric. It was a good blend, satisfying and hydrating. The person who took my order also made my order, there was one other person in the store while I was there so I was able to get in and out quickly.

Overview: nostalgic, my favorite boba place that offers mini boba!, delicious and fresh food…read more/snacks too ---- I used to come here all the time back in high school when it was located across the street in front of the bus stop next to the martial art place. I'm so glad that they are still open and running. They have happy hour from 6-8pm with discounted drinks and food which is great for the high schoolers in the area and to just hang out there too! I LOVE mini boba, so much more than the regular sized boba balls and T4 is one of the only places I know that still have the option to add it. I got my favorite Wintermelon Milk Tea for $6.35 ($5.75 for reg size + $0.60 for mini boba topping) and it was just like I remembered it. Sweet, creamy, chewy, and refreshing. I also got the Popcorn Chicken $7.75 which they offer sauces like ranch and sweet chili (there are more options but I forgot). It came out piping hot and the chicken was still tender and juicy, also had crispy basil on top. The girls working were so sweet too! You can either order directly from them or through their small kiosk iPad on their counter. There's plenty of seating but parking is always an issue. We had just come from playing at SubPar Mini Golf so we left our car over there and just walked a few minutes. ---- Overall: a classic boba institution that I'm so happy still operates, fresh food and drinks that tastes the same as I've had them years ago! I can't wait to be back when I'm visiting Alameda again!

Out of the many other boba places in Alameda, we decided to come here and left kinda disappointed…read more Ordered a couple drinks and popcorn chicken. Came during HH where there were discounts on certain drinks and snacks. It didn't seem crazy busy but it took over 20 min for the popcorn chicken. Finally decided to ask for refund since it was taking much longer than anticipated, and of course it was ready right after. Didn't end up getting a refund. The popcorn chicken was crispy but didn't have any basil in it as pictured. Also not a fan of seasoning it myself, but it's nice that they have the different seasoning shakers to customize. Around the same time, a couple other customers went up to the counter to inquire about their orders as well. One customer was waiting on a single drink for 15 min and it wasn't made until he brought it to their attention. Maybe they were short staffed or something but I think they should have warned customers how long to expect to wait before ordering.
