Tried this place and the avocado smoothie was good. I'd probably have to come back to try other flavors to re-review.

Super friendly service and very yummy drinks!! There's a lot of variety in the menu, and our server was telling us what drinks and flavor combinations he recommends. :) read more

The passion cooler and the taro kiss milk tea is hella good. I am so happy to finally get a good boba place in this area! Love the customer service here too. Everyone is really friendly and helpful! Thank you. I'll def be back. read more

Helllllllla good. I had the strawberry sparkle and boy oh boy was it refreshing. The service is great and the time in which I had to wait for all 5 of my drinks were not long given they had like 20 DoorDash/Yelp/UberEats orders to fill. I cannot wait to visit this establishment again! Definitely 2 up!! read more

Good place to stop and grab a drink, refresh! You can make your own drink as well! There's no wait time

Sweet and kind workers and the tea is truly qualitea I got the hojicha ~ quick service as well read more

Been here a few times and drinks are always consistent. Good service, clean and drinks are tasty. Will be back.

I am truly amazed at the quality drinks here. This is probably the best boba place in the area. I got the lime sparkle and the pink sparkle. The lime sparkle is kind of like drinking sprite. Both are similar to sparkling water and go great with crystal boba or lychee. Also you the dirty panda which was really good. I am definitely excited to go and try the rest of their menu, which they'll continue to upgrade and they'll be bringing in snacks soon! They are also very friendly, and the guy I interacted with is always willing to give you samples of the add ons to ensure you get the drink you desire. The only problem is it's going to hurt my wallet that I keep coming back here! But it's worth it! read more

Love it! I'm so glad a place like this opened up relatively near me. I love a strong tea base and they do it just right here. My husband and I are polar opposites when it comes to our drinks, he likes his 10 thousand percent sweet and I like mines little to no sweetness with extra ice. They make it right every time. We enjoy stopping by when we can and we do so very often. I'm kind of embarrassed how often though.... LOL read more

Happy I stopped in with my family for a Boba tea today. The service was excellent and the place is very clean and cute. Great new business. read more

Qualitea - Brown Sugar Milk Tea-so good - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pinole, California

I would give them 20 stars! With other boba shops around the area like Teaspoon and Sharetea, this is my go to boba shop every time. My usual go to drink is the Dirty Panda with no sugar and no ice. I'm one of those people that doesn't like sweet drinks. The sea salt cream cheese with the Oreo dusted on top makes it delicious! It's a small and cozy shop. The staff here is amazing. Shoutout to Scott and his amazing staff! read more

I haven't had any food but had a tea drink called Deluxe Punch. It was delicious. Service was quick. Ambiance was nice. Would definitely be back to try different drinks on the menu. read more

I just found out about this boba place near my house. I've been here twice but my family and I enjoy most of their drinks so far. We haven't run into a bad drink or water down one like some places. They are good! Especially their signature and popular drinks menu. You also have the options to build your own too! I highly recommend everyone to try this boba place. The service is great too, the people there are friendly. Check this place out! read more

Great quality tea and boba. The owner is extremely welcoming and the service is impeccable. Super cute store always have to stop in when I'm in town. read more

Great boba joint in area. Love that you can create your own flavors of green tea/milk tea and mix match them as well. Will definitely want to try more of the cheesy tropical bliss and the sparkle drink.The tapioca pearls weren't as "qq" as I'd like, but still soft and chewy. There was only 2 people working at the time, so it was a bit of wait, but no biggy. They had some seating area to the side so that was nice. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and craving boba. read more

I was searching for a dessert spot and this new boba shop popped up. The customer service was a 10/10 and the drinks were a 10/10. We had ordered: Golden Oolong, House Milk Tea, Matcha Blossom, and created our own drink by using pure tea base with lychee flavoring and topping it with lychee jelly! Highly recommend checking this cute boba shop out. read more

Was thirty so decided to give it a try. Ordered two drinks, didn't expect those would taste excellent but truly disappointed! We waited for a long time while only a couple of customers in the store, so we observed how they make the drinks - messy and unorganized. They kept empty cans and new opened can all together on the tiny shelf, mixed with other cups and stuff, with 3 people working together on the same drinks, asked every steps on how to make this and that, threw the storing spoon in the sink but then take it back and stirred into the drinks feel like they are not ready. We didn't wanna look further and went outside coz it was so hot inside. We finally got the drinks, urrrggg... not too bad but definitely not worth for the wait and price. Their slogan "Quality matters".... Really?! read more

The guy at the register was so nice! And boba tasted amazing!! We've been looking for a good boba spot but we didn't like the boba store near us... we tried all of them. We found this one and saw good reviews even though it was only opened for two weeks! We came and asked the guy what he recommended and we loved them! The brown sugar and house milk tea were great!! We feel like other boba shops water down their milk tea but Qualitea has rich and flavorful tea. We loved this place and can't wait to try other tea flavors and snacks that will be coming soon! read more

Best boba I have found in the Bay Area, and very friendly staff. Even the standard boba pearls taste better than other shops, I'm not sure why! read more

Five stars for their delicious concoctions and personable service!! There are many boba spots popping about the Pinole/Hercules area, but Qualitea is a real standout winner! Their location may not be easily visible, but if you are craving a boba drink, don't hesitate to order from Qualitea! Try their brown sugar milk tea...awesome drink! read more

Such kind service and such delicious drinks! There are so many good drink and topping options to chose from and I love the fact that you are able to make your own drinks. The vibe/interior is very neat, clean and overall gives me good vibes when walking in Qualitea. I love how you can watch the workers making your drinks. There is also a device that lets you order drinks in the corner of the shop which I find very nice if you don't feel like talking. There is also a bathroom. Some of my favorite drinks are rose milk tea and juicy berries shown in the picture. Qualitea is my favorite boba place, especially the one in Pinole. read more

I'm an avid boba drinker and didn't expect to be leaving a review. The Oolong tea was okay; I've had better elsewhere. However, the Deluxe Punch is fantastic! I've tried it at several places, and this one definitely deserves 5 stars! Additionally, the customer service was exceptional, making my visit even more enjoyable. read more

Such a little hidden gem in Pinole that is easy to miss. They have a lot of good options to choose from and the guy is very friendly and super helpful on explaining all the items in case you may have any questions. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other things they have to offer. read more

I got a really good brown sugar milk tea. They do have "Quali-tea" tea blends! The flavor was great. BUT I asked for like 30% sweetness and I saw them put the smallest amount of sugar in the tea, then they drizzled an insane amount of brown sugar syrup in the cup. If you want a low amount of sugar, make sure to specify that you don't want the drizzle in your cup. That definitely made it go back to 100%+ read more

We really like this place. All the different drinks we have tried have been excellent. Customer service is great. We are frequent customers.

First time here and one of the male workers were very welcoming! I had honeydew milk tea from Tocotea that left a first bad impression. I decided to give myself another chance at this spot and got their honeydew milk tea with pearls. They weren't too soft or hard, they were made just right and was sweet enough. The honeydew flavor was soooo good! Definitely will come here again when I'm in the area. read more

Quiet, clean, and super friendly staff! I got the Mango Cheesy Tropical Bliss with mango stars, and it was pleasantly simple. The cheese foam doesn't make the drink taste cheesy, rather just a savory creaminess that cut through the rich mango well. A great place that I for sure will visit again! read more

Super yummy and great service! We got the taro tea with boba and it was really fresh. Great to-go option.

Great service and friendly! The dirty panda was different so I tried it and not sure cookie crumbs in my tea was the best choice mango tea was my next and yep a quality choice. I'll certainly swing by again! read more

This is a cute little boba shop that's easy to miss, but it's such a rewarding find. Welcoming staff, easy parking and the menu has a wide variety of selections. I absolutely love jasmine milk tea. their rose infused jasmine drink is the best I've had, considering I was born and raised in the Bay. It's silky and refreshing and not too sweet! 11/10 read more

Had a very unpleasant experience at this location, there was 2 women working there and were very unprofessional. Would not come back here again. Give another location your service. Not able to follow a simple order, drink was horrible. read more

Ok I literally don't think I've ever left 3 reviews for the SAME place before, but after visiting this boba shop regularly for over a year now, and trying many, many others in this and other areas, I have to say it's officially my favorite boba shop, period, that I've encountered thus far. I don't know what they do to their drinks but the tea just always tastes right, creaminess is on point, the boba is always fresh and just the right texture (and they've never "run out" like at other places), the drinks are always consistent and they have never once messed up my order. They provide friendly and helpful service (except that one guy who's still there, but we'll let it go) and I've seen them offering helpful suggestions to new customers and even offering to adjust the drink if they end up not liking it. They really want the customer to be happy. You also get loyalty points so you can earn free drinks now and then. Parking is also easy and it's right off the freeway. Is it the vibe-iest place to hang? No - but I don't necessarily need that. I'm moving farther away and I'm sad I won't be able to come here as often. If you like boba, you need to check it out! read more
