The fam and I have been going to Likikoi since they've opened, mostly for convenience purposes…read more Started out amazing, but as we ordered more and more, there's been quite a bit of inconsistency. Will we get good or mediocre drinks today? Will our drinks be accurate or would we need to spend some more time to get our drinks fixed? Always a gamble, but hey, I do love to gamble (usually in a different setting lol). Sometimes the drinks are really good. The ones I've had the most consistencies are their house milk tea and their tropical fruit tea. Recommendation is to order everything as-is since if things (such as sugar level) are adjusted, it's most likely watered down. Luckily the drinks aren't way too sweet, but still a bit sweeter than I'd like, and I'd prefer a bit more tea flavor. My daughter has been big on their Thai tea, but after some inconsistencies with flavor, she's switched to their matcha horchata drink. Pretty good, and they have other kinds of drinks like that too. My son likes the house milk tea with lychee jelly, and the husband enjoys the Oreo drinks here, but they don't taste right in my opinion. I like their house milk tea, jasmine milk tea, tropical fruit tea, and once a while, their ube taro drink. On the safe side, I normally stick with tropical tea and house milk tea at this location. Props to Lilikoi for having some "unique" drinks such as mango almighty (mango smoothie with tajin and chamoy), various horchata drinks, and more. They seem to specialize more in the tropical fruit teas, so highly recommend for those.

First tried Lilikoi in 3/2022, right around when they first opened. I had ube horchata with boba…read moreand I wasn't able to taste much of the ube flavor. Since I went close to when they first opened, I thought they would get the kinks worked out so I wanted to try again before I judged. I came today (2/4/2025) after a doctor's appointment. I noticed they have ube coffee on the menu. Unfortunately, the employees told me they were out of ube. I ordered the Thai milk tea with no ice at 50% sweet. Given the heavy rain and cold weather, I asked if they could make the drink hot and they said they don't do hot drinks. Really? Every boba spot I've been to in the 4.5 years I've lived in Contra Costa County - including Sharetea, Mr. Green Bubble, Teaspoon, and Yi Fang - offer hot drinks. Everywhere EXCEPT Lilikoi. As for the drink itself, I could taste the Thai tea flavor somewhat but it seemed a bit watered down. I've had better Thai milk tea elsewhere. The drink cost $5, which is less compared to other boba spots. But I'd rather pay a bit more for drinks that don't tasted watered down. I don't think I'll return, even if in the area.

Stopped by here for boba and it was okay. The interior is very aesthetic, and there are a couple of…read moreseats & tables but it's pretty small inside. They have a really aesthetic photo wall & the place does look nice. The menu is pretty broad as well if you like variety (milk teas, fruit teas, sparking fruit teas, ice cream drinks, also some snack foods). I got the honey milk tea which was super jasmine-y. The house cream add on I thought would be more of a cream foam but turned out to be more like whipped cream. I didn't really taste much honey, but it wasn't bad. I got light ice (they don't have a no ice option) but it seemed like there was still a ton of ice. I ended up scooping the ice out because it was so much and I drink slowly, and almost broke the cup taking the cap off because the plastic was so flimsy. There are definitely other better places in the area, although I will say the staff were really really nice & friendly. The drinks just don't really seem worth it to me.

I thought it was pretty good, though it doesn't take the place of my favorite flavor, which I had the next time. All in all, I think they have very good quality ingredients. Typical of a lot of boba spots, ordering is kiosk-based (at least the times I've been there) so you don't really interact with the employees much, but they seem professional and are working hard. The kiosk for ordering is easy to navigate. It's nicely decorated and comfortable inside, and there is some seating. Upbeat vibe and busy, central location. If I were in downtown Walnut Creek and was craving boba, this is where I would go.

And of course, the drinks are delicious. Everything tastes fresh, bright, and really well made. The boba has that perfect texture too, soft with just the right chew, which makes such a difference. You can tell they care about quality :P What really keeps us coming back, though, is the service. I think the owner is usually there, and he is incredibly kind. He always seems to go above and beyond. He's given my daughter a little treat more than once just to make her day, and one time he even helped me carry our baby stroller down the steps even though he absolutely did not have to lol :) Those small moments really stick with you. Great drinks are one thing, but that kind of genuine kindness is what makes a place feel special. It feels a little elevated, a little indulgent, and always like a nice little treat. We love it!!

We grabbed our drinks as soon as they were ready, but they were much thinner than expected and lacked the refreshing, icy texture I'm used to from smoothies. The strawberry flavor was also pretty weak. I've had much better drinks at other Yifang locations. Definitely not my favorite location. I'd suggest using more ice for a thicker, more refreshing drink. Drinks: 3/10 Service: 8/10

Being the only boba shop in town, they were quite busy when we arrived. I was a bit hesitant at their quality given the complete lack of competition, but was pleasantly surprised at how well they maintain the quality of the iTea brand here. There are quite a few tables inside for dine-in option, and they also serve a large selection of ramen in addition to their smaller apps. They are located off to the side part of Moraga Shopping Center, and appear to be the main attraction in that section of the plaza.

Bober tea and coffee is the place to buy boba and mochi donuts all in one place. How perfect if…read moreyou're a fan of both like me. To be honest though, I only like their pandan boba tea and I occasionally get the mochi donuts for my kids. They're good and I do love coming here when I'm in the area. The place itself is clean, bright and pink. They have this magnet wall for a cute instagram reel post and a telephone booth to take some cool photos. It is very small though. I don't think you can bring a large group to hang out and chill inside. They only have two tables and maybe 6 or 8 chairs. As for the service, it's efficient I guess. When you go inside you just go up to one of the two kiosk and then pay and that will send your order to the kitchen where they'll prepare your drink and then you just pick it up. The staff seem nice but because you barely interact with them, I can't really say anything else about their service. Any way if you found this review helpful, please give me a thumbs up and follow! See you at my next review!

I think the problem is that I couldn't get past the lack of a restroom in the area. They had some portables, but they are making food and we are supposed to eat it. Where are they washing their hands? This area is also pretty cold so if you go, make sure that you have a coat, scarf and hat. I'll never make that mistake again. But because of the cold, I didn't want to eat outside so our food got a cold, but it was good. My husband liked the food he got, but gluten free options are super limited. They get a third star because of the bar! Now there was only one person working there and that's fine because he could go get a snack or something and come back to pour drinks, but again. The restroom issue. Where does he wash his hands, what if he has a cold and sneezes into them, and so on. That's where my mind went. The vendors are quite nice and were helpful and weren't mean when they answered my GF questions and I appreciate that. So, this is like the little engine that could. I can see that it is a gathering spot for people and they have music and speakers which is cool. So I saw and felt a community vibe and people really seemed to like going. If I lived in the area, I may try it a bit more, but in all honestly, Oakland Museum's Off the Grid event is everything I wish this was. I'm sure that they will get there, but don't want to hang out while they figure it out.

Milk Tea Lab is now under new ownership at this location, and having been visiting this spot quite…read moreoften throughout that time I've become more than familiar with the quality and expectations of this place. This was my first time visiting them again since the ownership change so it's been a minute. What I see here now is just depressing, not just because the place was empty, but it's now devoid of anything that felt like a spot someone would want to hangout at. No music, when I got in there was one person waiting for their food and nobody was even at the front counter for minutes before somebody finally came out from the back. Ordering is just through the kiosk now, which isn't a bad thing. The part that was really rough was the reason why I even came here; the boba. I got a regular milk tea which now they only have a single size. I miss the extra large size they used to have, but oh well. The next issue comes with how much the boba actually costs. They may have gotten rid of the extra large cup sizes, but they're still charging the almost the same amount for it in a much smaller cup. What a deal, right? And we get to the actual drink. When the person making the drink after receiving your order finishes within a minute of making it, it's never a good sign. Why is that? Well, they had premade jug of milk tea ready to pour out for your tasting pleasure. When you have a premade jug of milk tea, it's never a good sign. While I've had them at other places that have done this before, and it's ranged from bad to mediocre, the one here at Milk Tea Lab, now, was in a word, rancid. It was incredibly gross with absolutely no redeeming qualities to it. I generally try not to be so harsh, but this was really not it and I couldn't even finish the boba because of how bad the milk tea was. It's sad to see how big of a dropoff this spot has become compared to what it used to be. This isn't like when they first opened where there were only 2-3 boba spots right next to them. Now there's at least a handful of options within a few minutes away, and dozens of spots within a mile or two, and this is what they're pushing out? It's a shame but this Milk Tea Lab which was their starter store is no longer a place I would ever go back to for boba. It's time is now past with this new ownership.
