I got B1. Purple kow milk tea, which was decent. It seemed a bit watered down, but the flavor was okay. I thought the half sweetness level was perfect. The regular size (what I got) is really big, and there's even a large size, which is absolutely massive. It did take kind of long for my drink to be made, even though there weren't a lot of people.
My fav boba place in berk! I've been coming here even before they moved to this location and it's still been consistently a go to place for me. I always get their toffee QQ milk tea, 25% sweet, less ice. The balance of texture with the boba and brown sugar jelly / crystal boba goes so well together, along with the milk tea not being too sweet. Their drinks tend to run on the sweeter side for me so keep that in mind when adjusting your sweetness level. My friends who prefer sweeter drinks usually get 75%. Their regular milk tea and passion fruit green tea is also good. Their grass jelly also has great flavor. ALSO you can choose oat milk over organic milk for no extra charge, which is a plus. Their snacks? Also top tier. Their garlic fries, sweet potato fries, and fried zucchini are my favs. They always come out hot and crispy, with the perfect texture. There's limited seating and some outlets around the tables. You can also order ahead on Snackpass.
I love purple kow. I've been going to the university location for years but they closed and opened a location in Channing. The drinks are consistently good. You can't go wrong with their milk teas, fruit teas, specialty milk drinks. I will say I miss their stamp card system. They had the best reward. Nonetheless, my fave boba. They are very generous with the amount of boba they include in a drink.
I'm so glad that Purple Kow is still around! The last time I came was about 7 years ago and when I came this time around, it looked completely different! I asked the cashier if they had changed locations and she confirmed my suspicions, they moved from Shattuck to this new location about a year ago! The location is very bright and there were a couple tables and chairs to hang out and chill with friends. Boba wise, I ordered D4, the iced milk drink with boba and grass jelly. It tasted as delicious as I remembered it! I asked for 0 sugar and it's still sweet. I wonder what kind of milk they use! The grass jelly is perfect and the boba is soft. The cup size is still pretty funny. If only parking was easier, I would come more often. But the boba is absolutely delicious!
Purple Kow is one of my go to places when the other boba spots close at 9pm or when I'm craving their specific drinks. You get a HUGE cup with boba for way cheaper than a lot of places around. Last night I stopped in for my favorites- their V-DAY STRAWBERRY MILK and TOBANGO WINGS W/ FRIES COMBO!!!! So good every time. The staff who work here are so sweet. I love hopping around all the boba spots in berkeley because they each have good things about them. Purple Kow is for sure in my rotation.
I realized my review is 5 years old! I still love Purple Kow so much, and I'll always go out of my way to go there, if I can. I think they moved since my last review and are a bit harder to find - there isn't a great sign out front - it is also hard to park on the street, so best to order and pick it up. Even with all this it is still completely worth it! Same great quality tea, and they're always nice - They even called us once when we ordered online to make sure we had the right location. The new location is more fancy than the old but I haven't spent much time in the store/seating. Recommend more than every boba place, ever - however you have to keep in mind I only ever get the one pineapple green tea drink --
If you haven't been to this location before, be warned that there isn't a ton of street parking directly next to the store, but there is a parking garage within walking distance that has 1 hour free parking! The interior isn't huge, but you can definitely go in to sit down with a couple of friends! We only came for the drinks (D3 & B2). The service was quick as well. I generally try to go by the rule that if you've never had a drink before at a new place, you should always get 100% to try the drink how it was intended to be made. That being said, we got the B2 with green milk tea & 80% sweetness but didn't really feel like the flavor was super strong... I definitely feel like I should have gotten a 100%! There was A TON of boba in there, which was half appreciated but also it was so difficult to try the drink on its own! We also got the D3 with 100%( Milk with Caramel, Boba + Pudding). The caramel definitely makes this feel like it's 200% sweetness, so you could totally tone down the sweetness for this drink. Other than that, the boba was nice and chewy, a little smaller than usual though!
Off Channing street, New location to me as only make a trip to berkley once in a blue moon. Today daughter was craving purple kow, we Used to frequent SF & SJ when we in town. The signature drinks are the D series & the pudding was really tasty in the milk teas. Pop corn chicken is always a hit as they are really chunky chicken pieces. Say that 5x. Parked in a parking lot $4 an hour with first hour free otherwise limited street parking.
Salt and Pepper Chicken: 5 stars for this because the chicken nuggets are big and juicy and you get a lot of them. Definitely enough to share with friends as a snack. They should be called Spicy nuggets though as they definitely taste more like they have Spivey flavoring vs "salt and pepper." I would get the chicken again, it was tasty and a good value. My roasted oolong milk tea with aloe was alright... I'll probably try something else next time as I think it just wasn't my preference. My friend's drink was really good. Don't remember what it was. The cup is annoying to hold. Service: The person working told us there was no WiFi but we saw there was a WiFi and were able to sign on no problem... Ambiance: loud as heck!! Spend a little over an hour doing some computer work in here and it sounded like a college cafeteria with the kids constantly coming in and out and talking loudly. Definitely a place to hangout and not necessarily to work but there is WiFi and one bathroom decently clean.
This Purple Kow location is closer to where most of the other boba spots are in Berkeley and in the area where most of the students hang out in. Parking is a bit hit or miss here, as everyone is always doubled parked, but they are located on a quieter street, so there is usually some parking right in the front of the shop. Not much service - I ordered ahead on the app and sat inside waiting for my drink and even though they finished making it, the time for the drink being done was not updated and my drink was just sitting on the back counter. I ordered the Purple Kow Green Milk Tea with boba and grass jelly. The milk tea tasted a bit off like the milk tasted a bit funny like it did not go well with the drink and it also tasted a bit lukewarm, even though I ordered it cold (there was no % option for ice, only either cold or hot). I feel like I only go here because I like how big the cups are, but the milk tea is just eh.
I was surprised to hear Purple Kow had moved to Telegraph! It's one of my favorite boba places to go to in Berkeley because their drink size is huge compared to other shops so you get more bang for your buck. We had the peach green tea and mango green tea, both were yummy and full of flavor. This location is a lot smaller than their old one understandably, so keep in mind there's only around six tables inside. The only thing was service was very slow, we waited around 15-20 minutes for our drink to be finished on a Saturday afternoon. Otherwise, I recommend Purple Kow if you're looking to get boba in Berkeley (which seems to be everywhere).
Purple Kow is one of my favorite boba shops in Berkeley. Their milk tea is consistent and are served in large cups! Some may say this is inconvenient to hold, but I personally don't mind it. My go-to order is their Twins QQ Jelly Drink, which has milk tea, grass jelly, and pudding. I usually like to taste the flavor of the tea, so 50% sweetness always works for me. Overall, solid spot for boba. They recently changed their location to be closer to Telegraph, which makes it more convenient for UC Berkeley students to stop by. The new location is very spacious and is definitely an upgrade from their old location. The service is quick as usual!

The name Purple Kow was what prompted me to bookmark it but unlike the purple cow drink I made as a kid with grape juice and vanilla ice cream, this purple kow is a boba place. Unlike most boba shops that seems to be popping up as quickly as Starbucks had, this one has an ice milk drink option that I haven't seen at any other shop. So if you're not in the mood for tea that may keep you up at night since you're no longer a studying student, this would be right up your alley. We went with the newer Double Chocolate Ice Milk with boba, TCHO chocolate pudding which is what got me sold on this one, and chocolate since I have a chocoholic SO. We split a regular which was more than enough since we were finishing up a day of overindulgence but next time we will probably upgrade to a large. Bummed that I forgot to ask for a stamp card as I can see myself coming here again. Parking however is a pain due to its close proximity to my alma mater. read more

D4 for the classic win at any Purple Kow chain! Now, that they have expanded in the Bay Area besides being solely located in SF, I can easily access it more. I'm so glad. D4 is made up of fresh, shaken milk with a mix of grass jelly and boba, yum! The perfect blend. If I opted for no sugar, then I wonder what full sugar load would be like. Hyper overload. They offer fried side snacks. Seatings are upstairs. The downside of this spot, however, is that they close way too early. Dropped by on a Sunday and they closed at 6:30pm. Maybe it is urban life because the one in SF doesn't close until around midnight. A good spot, nonetheless. read more
I've ordered D4 just to experience all the hype I'm hearing. It's no hype. I've finally found a favorite! If you love tapioca and grass jelly you definitely have to try it. I've requested for half sweetened, but should've gone for less. I enjoyed it nonetheless. Evening visitors who aren't familiar with the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and try to park at the Bank of America across the street. The lot turns into a public self parking lot after business hours. Cash and credit cards are accepted at the ticket machine. If this isn't an option, street parking are available if you are lucky and there is a parking garage within walking distance. read more

I'm not a huge boba fanatic, but I was told by so many others to come try Purple Kow. I would say that relative to the other boba places I've tried about the Berkeley campus, this one is definitely more authentic but this place still has a lot of room for improvement. We ordered: -D4 (milk tea with tapioca pearls and grass jelly) -Grapefruit juice with green tea (or something of those two combinations) Pros: -Quick service. They were able to whip out our drink within a good 10 minutes. There were a few people before us, so the wait wasn't too torturous. -Good variety! I was pretty amazed at their menu. For those who are not from this area, they are mostly popular for their "Purplekow Iced Milk Drink" ($4.44 each cup). Order from that list as a safe starter! -Clean environment. The place was brightly lit, with enough seatings. There is more upstairs but I didn't check it out since I just wanted my drink! -Nice portion size. The stumpy cup designs remind me of Half & Half in Irvine, but nonetheless I like that they give you a pretty decent amount of milk tea (or visually?) for the price you pay. Cons: -Terrible service. What if your customer was already having a bad day, and you come in to this location just to get more attitude? The two girls at the front were having a heated conversation about something, and definitely did not have professionalism in taking care of their customers or making sure their feelings didn't affect the person ordering. When we asked her about not giving us two stamps for our stamp cards, she started blaming the other girl and almost refused to give us another stamp. -Too sweet? I have a sweet tooth, but I felt like I was going to pass out with how sweet this thing is. I requested 25% but I felt like it was still at least 50%, even 65%. Maybe I'm just used to less sweet places...or maybe today was especially sweet? -Unorganized service. What happens when they get too busy? I don't really understand why they don't expand the ordering table. Ordering/pick up is in the same location, and I feel like when they do have lines waiting out the door, there will be a few angry customers. Tips/Observations: -Go down on sugar unless you want a sugar rush! -TopDog is literally right next door! So if you want some hot dogs, just walk 10 feet over! -Don't put your leftovers in the fridge like I did...boba gets wayyy too stiff. And that isn't a mistake of PurpleKow-its actually "common knowledge" for boba lovers. -They have stamp cards! Overall, though this place is undeniably a better place for boba, but I wouldn't come here again in a while if the customer service isn't improved. But for first timers to this place, don't be afraid! Go on in and order yourself a nice cup of boba! read more
$6.04 For boba, you say? Not just any boba.... My order Super cup: the most awesome, deep roasted, oolong milk tea. adds: boba, aloe vera, steamed egg pudding, low sugar, light ice.... mongo cup. Wait was not more than 15 minutes, and the overall quality and texture of all add-ins as well as tea taste makes this place legit among Chinese. Hao bang! read more

I have been wanting to try Purple Kow since the beginning of the year, but someone else kept changing the plan and took us to some other boba places that were not good. Finally, we were able to go to Purple Kow yesterday when we were in Berkeley area. First of all, the drink is very sweet! Even when we already ordered 25% sweetness, it was still sweet. I ordered the Iced Milk drink with grass jelly and boba (D3) plus choco pudding. My friend got the popcorn chicken to share. The toppings, especially the puddings are the ones that made the drink super sweet. So be careful with your toppings and choice of sweetness. If you have more toppings then go for less sweetness. Overall the drink was good, very milky (of course it was just blended milk). We would definitely come back again for the milk drink. The popcorn chicken was also pretty good, soft inside and crunchy outside. read more
Popular student bubble tea spot right outside of UC Berkeley The decor inside is very decked-out, especially the second floor. The menu is also huge, with lots of options. The milk tea itself is pretty good as well--I ordered the milk roasted tea, and you can really taste the "roasty" flavor, so much so that the mlik didn't mask the roast-iness. Well done. The packaging is also quite unique, with a horizontal wide (instead of the usual tall) design. Fits well with the cow motif. And oh, the cow logo is awesome. How can anyone not say yes to that? read more
I've always wanted to try this place since I've heard about it. Buttttt I never made the treck out to try it. My friend and I went to Berkeley and so we had the opportunity to try it. I got the matcha green milk tea with 50% sweetness. Still too sweet for me so next time I'll go 30% or whatever is less sweet. But it was good! I forgot to ask for less pearls too so I had a lot at the end. I think my friend got the regular black milk tea, but it was SUPER sweet at 100%. I would recommend that you go 50% or less. read more
Too sweet, even when you order the micro sweetness option. Flavor was artificial but who cares .. you don't go here for ultra-natural, holistic, straight-from-plant flavor essence. The boba balls were soggy with sugar goo at the bottom of the cup...poor craftsmanship. At least the small size is huge. Why two stars instead of three? The Chinese woman at the counter was rather rude, brusque, and got sassy when I asked her to repeat something because I couldn't understand her thick accent. I mean, how could I possibly know what my order number was when it's not clear on the receipt? (Hint: it's the last two digits of the dozen digit number on your receipt). This place is fine for hungry college students needing a sugar buzz on a dime. If you have money, go somewhere else. read more

Knocked off a star because hours here said Monday - Sunday. Went here on Saturday expecting to fulfill the dessert portion of my weekend-long glutton sesh with some good ol' purple Kow. I double park and send the girlfriend in. She reports that there is no line...then she reports that there are no people and lastly that they're not open. Needless to say I was a wee-bit pissed off. Now onto the review: It's a welcome surprise when a new location can run just as smooth if not better than one of the original ones. Berkeley PK manages to do that and in fact gets through the line much faster than the one in SF. The drinks: I feel like if you're going to come to purple kow, you must get the iced milk drinks. It seems most reviews highlighting their "disappointment" of purple kow aren't warranted because they haven't made any attempts at ordering the coveted iced milk drink. For all the real yelpers - Just like you wouldn't go to San Tung and not get the dry fried chicken wings, you don't go to purple kow and not get the iced milk - it's that simple. Maybe you don't have much of a sweet tooth? Well, if the server didn't kindly ask you , you can let them know to make your drink less sweet...it's one of the perks this place offers above these other basic boba places in the neighborhood. All in all, I'm glad they've finally offered this sweet nectar of the gods to the folks here in the East Bay. Now if only they'll open as late as the one in SF... *hint hint* read more

Tried out Purple Kow after walking around the Cal campus looking for the 5 Bruce Beasley sculptures. We didn't have to wait which was nice. There was a line after we ordered & when we were leaving. I got D3 - Purplekow iced milk drink w/ caramel & pudding & Boba. I asked for it 80% less sweet & less boba. It was tasty, but if I ever got it again I'd get it without Boba don't really like them much. It's a HUGE wide cup, Yelper said 25oz!! B. got Fresh Orange Yakult - he only finished half. Think he was too full I don't know. Charged it. Ask for Frequent Buyer card if you want to buy 10 drinks get 1 FREE. One unisex bathroom you are suppose to use a key, but sometimes the door is left open. There's a 2nd Fl with a few tables & chairs. read more

Can't go wrong with a jumbo size boba split in 2 small cups. Lychee Black tea If you ain't trying to get diabetes, I suggest brining that sugar down to 50%. Still very sweet and preserves the lychee and black tea taste. One of my classic drinks and they know how to bring it to the table. So far so good, can't complain, great blend of tea and flavor and thank god not watered down. I haven't tried their other drinks yet, but I was defiantly ecstatic with the lychee black tea. Can't wait to try most of the menu! read more

Not quite as good as the location in the Richmond, but I'll come by regardless since I like Purple Kow better than any other boba spot in Berkeley. I usually get the Ice Milk with Caramel, Pudding, and Boba. It's quite sweet, but if I'm in the mood for a real treat it hits the spot! Almost like ice cream in boba form. Unfortunately I think the consistency of the boba quality isn't as good as the San Francisco or the San Jose locations. When I came to this Purple Kow the boba in my drink was a bit stickier and firmer than I prefer. I would come back and try other drinks from here though! read more
Same as SF but this location looks much nicer. It has a few seats on the main floor and it also has an upstairs which provides more seating. The service is a bit faster than the Purple Kow in SF. What I did notice is that they skip order numbers. Let say you have order #20. They'll call order #25 before 20. I don't know what's up with that. I don't have a favorite drink. I like ordering something different each time. read more

You can imagine my excitement when I found out that they were opening a location in Berkeley and didn't have to trek all the way to SF. I tried their signature ice milk since I like trying what they're known for. It was definitely sweeter than I imagined and I should've gotten it with less sugar. Location: Non-existent parking. Being right in the heart of downtown it's a great place to be for the business and for students walking by. However, if you're driving in the area expect to find no place to park. Convenient that it's right across from campus though. Ambiance: Small shop but it's cool that they have an upstairs. Service: I've never had a bad experience with their staff. They're always super friendly and are really quick with my order. Overall it didn't quite meet my expectations. I would come again just to try other drinks but I prefer other boba places in the area. Their chubby cups are a plus though since you get so much for what you pay. read more

So, we kind of like their bubble tea..because their cups are huge. But here are sOme things we have learned from being customers for over 4 years. 1) Honey green milk tea with boba, caramel green milk tea with boba, peach oolong with mango and green tea jelly, and a couple of other drinks. 2) Be careful buying boba from here at night. We once bought two cups and had boba that were so hard they were inedible. We had to throw both away. 3) Their food items have gotten worse. Their mozzarella sticks are expensive, garlic fries and popcorn chicken portions gotten smaller and now, they don't even sell their salt and pepper chicken with a lid that closes. Check out the paper lid in the photo that also shows the full portion minus TWO PIECES. read more
This place has relatively tastier boba and is one of the better boba stores (clean and cute with seating upstairs/downstairs) in Berkeley... Before Purple Kow, I rarely drank milk tea at Berkeley because I didn't like the ones from other places near campus (for example, sweethearts = too watered down). But I really like this place in comparison to others in Berkeley. The first time I came here, I just got a regular milk tea with boba, but I didn't really like it. It was just mediocre. Then I started ordering the purple kow milk tea with caramel pudding which I really really like! If you're in the mood for a sweet drink, then I suggest that! Good luck with parking if you're driving over o.o read more

I was sooo excited to try this place, but was beyond disappointed. I asked the guy at the register what's most popular and he said the purple milk tea and so that is what I ordered. Not sure what happened, but we waited 15-20 mins for our drinks. We were order 35ishhhh, but they were calling orders for numbers after us like 40, 41. It took forever to get our drinks and when we got them they tasted so diluted! They weren't good and lacked flavor. How do you mess up milk tea? Nonetheless I do like the purple straws and the shape of the cups, but I would probably never come back here again. This was on the bottom of my milk tea places I have gone to. read more
Atmosphere: Cute boba joint with lots of space to sit down. It was busy when I visited. Definitely a popular spot since it's opening. Despite the lively, crowded atmosphere, our drinks came out within 5 minutes! :) Service: Nice cashiers and pretty quick service. There was a small line when I went (a little bit before 3pm), but nothing too horrible. Food: - High Mountain Oolong Crema: This drink was good, but not good without boba or any toppings. I totally forgot to order toppings and I got bored of the drink fast. -face palm- Because there's so many things I want to try on the menu and this drink didn't really leave a memorable impression on me, I will not be getting this drink again. Regular size comes in a tall cup (maybe the large size at Quickly's or TapEx), but not the chubby cup. - Fresh Mango Green Tea w/ boba: My awesome mentor ordered this drink and it was soooooo good. Tasted amazing. I wish I got this drink instead of the high mountain oolong. I love the fresh mango and boba mixture. Yum yum yum! :) This drink comes in a chubby cup! :D Price: ~$4 Tip: - If you go in a group, order different things so that you can try 'em all!! Conclusion: I didn't really have a great experience with my first drink here, but since my friend had a bomb drink, I'd definitely come back to check out all the other flavors this place has to offer! Plus, the interior is a cute hangout place to catch up with others! :) read more

BEST BOBA PLACE EVER!!! I've been wanting to see what the hype is all about, but SF is a bit out of the way just to get boba. Luckily, a new location opened up in Berkeley - yay! Came here during Cal's winter break so I was able to avoid the usual long line. In fact, there was absolutely NO line! It's a small place located next to Top Dog on Center St, with a couple tables downstairs, as well as upstairs. There's one bathroom, though it was out of order on the day I actually needed to use it. The neon orange plus white decor gives it a somewhat modern look, reminds me of The Jetsons. This place is far better than going to Half & Half in Socal. For $4.24, I got a giant tub of Purplekow Iced Milk Drink with Caramel, Pudding, and Boba - one of the most popular drinks. Honestly, it's more than enough to share, but.....I finished it all by myself hehe It's advised to choose your level of sweetness with the iced milk drinks, and I went with 50% of the original sweetness. It still turned out pretty sweet, but I absolutely LOVE it! The pudding tastes AMAZING. The boba doesn't seem like the main attraction in this drink, nothing special about it, but it added a nice contrast to the milky and squishy texture of the iced milk and pudding, respectively. Is this what heaven tastes like? Seriously, it's ridiculously easy to become an addict. If they open a location within 5-10 minutes of my house, I'd have a major sugar problem... read more
I'm not one to know the differences between boba but I'll comment on their flavor of milk tea. If this place were to be rated solely on boba, then they get a 5. But I'm giving this place a 3 for overall flavor and limited menu selections compared to other places. It appears that purple kow is more known for their fillings that you can add to your drink as oppose to their flavors of milk tea. I ordered the D4 which had boba and grass jelly. The boba and jelly were good. The milk tea was filling and sweet. You get to pick your level of sweetness but if it's your first time, how would you ever known what's the "right" pick. I like to have options of what to put in my milk tea and purple kow gives me that. But I also can appreciate when I have countless options of milk tea flavors I can choose from - purple kow lacks this. read more
I have fallen in love with D3. I have forgotten how sweet it was from the last & first time I came which was over a year ago. The line is crazy long & a 5-10 minute wait if it's busy. The service was quick & easy, employees are very kind. If you plan to get a drink for yourself, maybe consider sharing? It took me more than an hour to finish than any regular sized boba you would get a Quickly's. Purple Kow will make you pee your pants lol. If you can handle, buy that drink for yourself & devour it proudly. It's really worth the money too. (I'm not weird, but Purple Kow is a loving memory of my grandma. ): My first time coming here was when she was in the hospital, weeks before she passed.) read more

I'm the Duke but never reviewed this place? Preposterous! Hands down one of the best boba places in the area (just my opinion). This doesn't discredit other boba places but for me this is overall the best in the area. Sharetea's Peach Green tea is better than Purple Kow's though. Yes occasionally they mess up my order and forget to add boba but that's okay. Location isn't optimal for non-Berkelians. 06/08/2016 Green boba is now available! I asked the cashier girl what the difference is. She said it's more colorful. read more

Great milk tea spot if you're looking for the basics. Can't say I've tried anything too special though. I would say their milk teas are lacking in strong milk tea flavors, however (at least their milk tea drinks). Haven't tried their tea drinks. Their full sugar tends to run pretty sweet so if you're looking for something milder, definitely order less or no sugar. They give you the option between regular milk and organic milk in your drinks. You also have to option to choose your sugar level percentage. Drinks: -Purplekow Black MT (4/5)- great MT flavor with deliciously chewy but not too chewy boba. Asked for no ice and they ended up charging me $0.50. -Matcha latte with matcha pudding (3/5)- matcha pudding was $0.70 but really just tasted like regular pudding. -Coffee MT with coffee jelly and boba 0% sugar (5/5) - so good! Slight coffee flavor with 0 sweetness made it perfect. It still tasted sweet from the boba & jelly flavor. Would definitely recommend. Service: Bummer service. I came in on a Friday night at ~8pm. It was pretty slow and there was no one in line. Unfortunately, the cashier was super undelightful. She asked me if I wanted a bag and I said yes. Upon asking her for it when I drinks came out, she asked me curtly if I paid for one. So bring your bags ladies & gentlemen! Also, they forgot to give me my matcha pudding. Instead of remaking my drink completely, they put it on top in my old drink and slapped a new cover on it. Can't say I was exactly happy with the service. Ambiance: Super cool place to hang out with a lot of seats! They have an upstairs section that can seat a decent amount of people and a downstairs area. It was super cutely decorated for Christmas. It's also connected directly to Top Dog if you're looking for some hot dogs to snack on as well. read more

I haven't been to the Berkeley location as much as the SF one but each time I've been here their boba drinks have been consistent. During my latest visit. I ordered the rosie lychee oolong tea with boba 30% sweet, my bf ordered the iced milk drink with boba, 30% sweet, and a popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken pieces were quite large but tasty. The last time I was here I don't remember them being that big. read more
2nd time here, their boba tastes like it's made with powder boba. First time I had strawberry slushy and it also tasted like it was made with powder. Today I tried their QQ pudding boba drink, their cups are huge but I wish it tasted more authentic. Their interior is really cute so it was worth trying again. I haven't tried their snacks so maybe next time I'll try their snacks. read more
I love to visit Purple Kow whenever I'm visiting Berkeley! The only other place where Purple Kow is accessible to me is in SF! So if you don't want to make a trip to SF and you're in the Berkeley area, this is not a bad choice! read more
