Excellent matcha today - much better than even the last time. Ultra smooth and frothy with ube…read morefroth. Loved that it's not sweet but there's still flavorful earthy depth. Asked for no ice and it was excellent - not too cold but just right so flavors come through nicely and doesn't get diluted. Service was also much better and it was nice to see them busy on a weekday. The Dubai chocolate ice cream was also a lot better than the last time. The staff was kind to provide a sample. Would love to see more ice cream flavors in the future like seasonal flavors, rotating. And add some permanent flavors like lavender, black sesame, some savory flavors even.

Been wanting to try this place for months. We finally got to go a little after lunch on a Sunday…read more No lines, plenty of parking. This dessert shop serves ice cream and boba. Very cute inside, a lot of pink. Service was good. We were craving ice cream so we decided to try the mango mellow, it was SO good. Soft creamy mango ice cream with corn flakes and a type of boba I wasn't familiar with but it was nice and chewy. Servings are a good size. We also tried the pistachio ice cream and were not a fan, we couldn't taste the pistachio and it tasted artificial. The mango was the clear winner. Would like to come back and try their boba and the Dubai ice cream.

Pleasantly surprising! We were just getting Korean food to go next door when we decided to give it…read morea try- love how it's flavorful without being overly sweet! Love the smoothie and green tea with creama! The toppings are yummy! Ordering is easy from the tablet but the staff are friendly and nice, if you need any help. The store look bright and clean- love the color scheme & the seats are so cool- they used plastic crates with customized wood panel with the store's name! Very creative!

Came back to my fav boba spot in high school! It's cool to see how it's changed to ChaChaCha and…read morefamous for their free mini photobooth machine haha. ChaChaCha offers unique drinks with their iconic puff cream topping on any of their milk teas, hojicha, matcha, einspanners (original - with vanilla or hazelnut flavor), and even croffles! Love the diverse menu. I usually get my puff cream milk tea with boba from here and it never disappoints. Creamy and the tea flavor still pulls through. Their boba is also pretty solid without it being overly sweet and relatively soft / chewy. However, I got their double matcha and original vanilla einspanner. Their double matcha had a mild umami flavor and wasn't very sweet. Def more for people who are into matcha for the profile than the sweetness. Loved that matcha foam though. Their einspanner was fireeee. Slightly strong coffee flavor and I enjoyed how the milk foam topping didn't overpower the drink. Would order this again!

They're serving up smashed fruit teas and I'm into it…read more I have tried their milk tea and guava lime tea. Both had a strong tea flavor which is what i like when I'm ordering tea. You can only add toppings to the fruit teas, you must try the water chestnut boba! I would recommend 30-50% sweet if you don't want your drink too sweet. They had a little craft store in front, and lots of seats inside. The only sad thing is that the only store is in the east bay and that's 40min from San Jose :(

A very unique tea shop…read more I've had their strawberry, guava, orchid oolong, and jasmine coconut. I'd say orchid oolong is my favorite amongst these BUT all are good in their own way.

They had a bogo 50% offer and I tried the red bean milk tea and a red bean sago slush. It was…read moregood and a good value from the sale. Nice seating area. Please come and create your own adventure

Truewin Tea Shoppe is very welcoming; very wholesome and good vibes…read more Their staff is very sweet and kind; takes their time to explain the ingredients in the drinks and what they recommend. When ordering, you can place an order at the kiosk or at the counter. Their menu has a nice variety, drinks are reasonably priced and delicious. Desserts are a lovely treat! Would highly recommended. As this location is somewhat small, seated is available indoors but it's very limited and can fill up quickly. Very clean, cozy and good spot to hang over and catch up over a milk tea!

I love this place!…read more Location: Easy to find in the same shopping center as Safeway in Union City. Lots of parking with many surrounding businesses. Disclaimer: I've only tasted the desserts and tea here and they are always light, fresh and delicious! Whether you're having crepes, ice cream or otherwise- it's all just heavenly! Don't sleep on the actual food, too! The variety of teas and such seems endless. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

Their desserts were lacking. We ordered the Crème Brûlée Toast and the Banana Crepe with Nutella…read moreand we added chocolate ice cream. The toast was dry. Usually when I have "honey toast" the bread is still bouncy in the middle. The crème brûlée was lacking in flavor. The crepe it self tasted good. It was too thick and hard to cut through (especially since they didn't have plastic knives. There really is no point in serving it as a cone, you might as well serve it flat folded into a triangle. The Nutella was scarce, the chocolate ice cream tasted like it had been in the freezer with the top open. The price is quite steep for the desserts (and the level of disappointment). We didn't try any of the drinks. So if you are there for that, you may have a better experience.

This was initially a second choice option, that quickly became a place I'd return to. 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!

After eating dinner, I decided to drive my way to Hayward to go to Sip & Savor since it's close to…read morewhere I ate at. This is quite unusual because this boba shop serves pastas since other boba places serve rice meals. Don't know but I guess that this is supposed to be a fusion restaurant? Inside is very quiet though, but I saw some people come in here. I also really like how they decorated part of the wall with "Sip & Savor" sign. If they covered the whole wall and even the ceiling, it would have looked like we're in a jungle. I didn't get pasta, but my mom and I wanted to try their boba. It's really good though. The Sip & Savor is slightly more expensive and it's quite flavorful even without adding boba. Not too sweet and it's just right. Definitely looking forward to trying one of their pastas if I were to come back!

i don't know why they changed the name guys! snow bowl does not hit. it sounds a little elementary…read more mandro teahouse on the other hand...elegant, alluring, siren. HAHA i'm just kidding both of the names suck. petition to change it to bingsu blast bam bam bam bingsu is still on top. this is crazy. it has survived a name change, sticky tables, impatient customers, turtle-like workflow...STILL BOMB! get the mango it will never disappoint you. fluffy, creamy, refreshing goodness. it hits. especially when you're sweating your hairline off. i like to go out with friends and complain about men over some mango bingsu! i have also tried the injeolmi one which was okay. honestly as an asian i just prefer mango but if you're feeling like dora the explorer get whatever te gusta. also mango sago is not bad, not many mango pieces though. still trying to find good mango sago in the bay! overall YUM. don't get mad at the workers please even if you're hot and bothered, i assure you they are double hot and bothered and also sweating their nosehairs off. come get some bingsu and die after 5 bites because you ate too quick and got brain freeze! maybe that should be their new name...brain freeze

Dozing off from driving and needed some sugar... :) stumbled upon this little store…read more It was quite packed with folks eating shaved ice. I only ordered a taro drink which was pretty good. Definitely will come back and try the shaved ice.

Came here on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy, possibly too busy for the amount of workers…read morethat were present but they all handled the orders in the timey matter and did their best, which you cant ask for any more than that. As someone who has been drinking Vietnamese coffee since I was 12 (Im much older now), I am very picky with my Vietnamese coffee. This place knocked it out of the park with their coffee as well as offering flavors that I never tried other than the original. The phin set I ordered is for dine in only and understandably so. The pandan cream topping was definitely new for me and I would give it the compliment of saying that it wasnt too sweet. Not pictured was the pandan waffle and the two pate chaud I ordered, which I ate before taking the picture, I am sorry. It might be on the pricey side but hoenstly these days, what isnt? Im not complaining, I would come back next time I am around the area. Lastly, I wanted to shout out the workers there on that day. You guys seemed understaffed and getting slammed, but everyone did their job and delivered.

I've been here several times now, and the drinks have been consistently excellent. So far I've…read moretried the piña colada matcha, pandan coffee, egg coffee (less sweet), and coconut coffee (less sweet). Everything has been a hit! My recommendation is to order your drinks less sweet. It's the perfect level of sweetness. The only tweak I'd make is adding an extra shot of espresso to the coconut coffee. The food, unfortunately, didn't live up to the drinks. I tried a few of the bánh mì sandwiches, and the bread-to-filling ratio was way off. There just wasn't enough filling, and even after ordering extra veggies, it didn't seem like there were actually any extra added. If you're specifically craving a Vietnamese sandwich, I'd recommend driving about a mile up the road to Huong Sandwiches instead. That said, I still want to come back and try more of their food menu because the drinks alone keep bringing me back. The café itself is adorable. I love the modern design and all the greenery throughout the space. It's clean, quiet enough to study or work, and has about 7 small tables, making it ideal for solo visits or small groups of up to four people. I also appreciated the powerful hand dryer in the restroom (it's the little things!) and plenty of parking. Come for the drinks, stay for the atmosphere.
