Apit L.

Definite positive experience after this milk tea establishment. Quality milk, tea, as well as quality, popcorn, chicken. The only downside over the years is the change of ownership. I understand it's very competitive at this area for milk tea shops. But, I keep coming back, no matter who owns the shop Quality of service: A Quality of food: A+ Price: $- $$

$8 for syrup/powder based liquid. There's even a 3% surcharge for ordering on the kiosk. I got a 0% sweetness drink and it still tasted like artificial diabetes. Insane how highly rated this is, but I guess this area just doesn't have many options and the people here haven't tried the better brands in Bay Area to be enlightened. I couldn't even finish my drink.

They forgot to add boba in my drink. Then proceeded to argue with me that they couldn't fix it. I asked for it on the side and they wanted to charge me for it even though the listing clearly states "topped with boba" Horrible service.

There is only Happy Hour on Monday and Wednesday: have not tried it yet. Service was friendly. Ambiance casual and there are seats. Drinks sometimes can be too sweet, but ordering 50% sweetness can help.

Honey Rice Milk Tea

The shop is a bit narrow and congested coming in from the front. You will order from a tablet and see the staff rush frantically to create everyone's order. I decided to order the Honey Rice milk tea with grass jelly topping. I came in thinking I would come in and out with my drink. This expectation was subverted as I waited and saw customers walk in and grab their drink before me over and over. It turns out they were brewing a fresh batch of tea. The irony for a tea shop to run out of tea was interesting to say the least. The drink came out well and tasted refreshing.

It's one of the last remaining cheaper boba tea places in the bay area with boba included in the pricing of most drinks, so I can see why people enjoy this place. Still, it's essentially a Quickly, but their tea strength is good. There are a few seats inside and at the time, just a single person running both the cash register and making the drinks. They have some cute trinkets, merchandise, and plushies for purchase at the counter, and free simple board games to play. We got two fruit teas - pineapple and mango strawberry - they were both quite sweet, and even at 30% my drink was too sweet. I thought the fruit flavors tasted more like am ambiguous sweet fruit flavor more than mango or strawberry, and the pineapple tasted more like pineapple candy. Their boba was good; it was soft and bouncy, and almost had a jelly texture. They have a snack menu that consists of mainly fried items with reasonable prices. I wouldn't mind dropping by for the occasional treat, but I'd definitely need to order at basically zero sweetness next time, if I got another fruit tea (I assume there was already a lot of sweetness from the syrups).

The Menu

Another new boba place we had to try on the way home. The place was warm and inviting, there was lots of seating. We all had our drinks, they were yummy. I had the avocado smoothie with sea salt cream. I like all the customization options, you can change the sweetness level, ice level, the type of milk used, and toppings. Service was pretty fast, we got our drinks pretty quickly.

winter melon tea

The drinks were refreshing. Nice owner. They have a mix of drinks and snacks, I'll have to try some snacks next time! The winter melon flavor in the tea was not strong enough imo, but otherwise nice and cooling to sip on. The okinawa milk tea was pretty tasty. Good chewy boba.

Cute little boba shop! Owner/manager is super nice and friendly, and offers good recommendations when asked. Parking is plentiful right in front. We got a taro milk tea with lychee boba, and a lychee frosty (50% sweetness). Both were yummy delicious and the cups were so cute too! Love it, will come back!

After attending a festival nearby, decided I needed to treat myself to some boba and found QTea through Yelp. The people inside were friendly, and my drink order was made quickly. The boba quality was good, and I really enjoyed the overall drink flavor. Although the store itself is pretty narrow, they do offer indoor seating if you opt to dine-in. And they are located in a fairly sizeable strip mall, so there is plenty of available free parking.

QTea's Hurricane fries

Hurricane fries rocks! Tried it out the first time yesterday and it's very tasty. My family loves it and it's awesome together with the drinks on a hot day. Love QTea

Best neighborhood boba tea bubble tea in the TriValley, Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore. Really like their high quality fruit tea and pure tea boba, white peach tea, peach tea mango fruit tea, okinawa tea. I think their fruit tea is one of the best in the Bay area. I usually get the white peach with crystal boba or honey boba. Their boba is always cooked to perfection. The spicy popcorn chicken is a must try - delicious crunchy, choice of dark meat (better taste) or white meat (healthier). The popcorn chicken here is big, spicy and crunchy - I love the texture. I feel other places don't fry it dry and crunchy. I also like the tornado potato salt and pepper. It's a full potato fried. This place is loved by the neighborhood. Lots of love and fan art. They also give out stickers and sell small Boba merch,

Mango Strawberry Tea, White Peach Oolong Milk Tea with Boba
Kamy T.

Was in the area and decided to try something new that was different from my favorite boba shop, Boba Bliss. Saw the high reviews and decided to stop by. Service was friendly and there was no line when I arrived late Saturday afternoon. Got our drinks without too long of a long wait. Mango Strawberry Tea - I got 25% sweetness and it was pretty standard. Not the best I've had, but still good. Had some strawberry bits at the bottom. On the more pricey side for this drink. White peach oolong milk tea - I got 50% sweetness. I wasn't sure what went wrong here, but there was almost no tea flavor and it tasted very watery. I expected much better especially for more than a $6 drink. Thankfully the boba was good. Soft and chewy.

The little manager was diligent and hard working

Does this mean my boba stamp card from itea is no longer valid?

Nope, if you still have a stamp card from this location, they'll transfer it to a new card!

Our recent visits have been to return for the avocado smoothie, which is not a common drink offering at Boba places, and popcorn chicken. The avocado smoothie is okay and not the best, however, it will do given none of the nearby places offer this drink. But the real winner is their popcorn chicken which comes with a decently sized-portion and the batter is perfect in amount and flavor. We don't particularly like our food spicy, so we always request for them to not add additional pepper sprinkled on top. That makes it perfect for us. However, if you like your food more spicy, definitely let them know. The only way to do this is if you order directly through a cashier or you somehow get their attention before they finish your order. Otherwise, ordering through the kiosk does not allow you to input any special requests. Service is not particularly fast especially when they get bombarded by the students from the middle schools and high school in the afternoon. I have yet to try their milk tea, but I haven't come to want to take the chance given one of my favorites is not that far of a walk from Honi-Bear. In any case, the location is great in the heart of downtown to treat ourselves to some drinks and snacks!

The choices are that you either drive thru or order at the window. Now if they'd just include more drink options and a couple of food options; I'd be happy!

I got the lychee watermelon green tea since I liked it at the San Ramon location and it wasn't the same. It was less sweet and had less ice so the drink wasn't very enjoyable. I think if I were to go back, I'd add lychee jelly and ask for extra ice in hopes to remedy this. I ordered with a guy and carefully turned the corner to wait for my drink. He forgot to add the boba for my other drink, but when I pointed it out, he added it. The price was cheaper than their competitors which I enjoyed. This drive thru location isn't the best for busy days but it wasn't an issue on a weekday afternoon when I was the only customer. I probably wouldn't drive out of my way to go here but if I was stuck in the car with a sleeping toddler again, I might just stop by.
