Service was nice, a young lady took our order and asked good questions. The mochi ice cream was divine, we tried the cake batter and the strawberry. The aura was really good, the vibe was clean and trendy lofi. The drinks are a little different, an acquired taste. read more

Rare tea is my favorite boba tea spot. I discovered it when I moved to Clovis in 2021. I stopped in yesterday for the first time in a while and was not disappointed. I ordered a milk coffee with boba. Yum!!!! Service was speedy. In and out in less than 5 min. Hopefully next time I can try the mochi read more

Tried the sea salt crema coffee and WOW... instantly obsessed. Got one regular and another loaded with pudding + brown sugar boba, and both were amazing. The sea salt crema was creamy, slightly salty, and paired so perfectly with the coffee. The pudding was silky smooth, the brown sugar boba was chewy and sweet, and every sip was chef's kiss. It was the perfect little afternoon pick-me-up to add to my morning caffeine dose. Definitely one of those drinks that makes your day better! read more

I've been going to Rare Tea in Clovis since they opened, and I would say it's a pretty good boba shop - the drinks are really where they shine. If you're going for the first time and like milk tea, their Okinawa milk tea (I like mine half sweet) with boba is the way to go. That is probably their bestseller, and for good reason. It is strong, with the perfect amount of bitterness and sweetness. For me personally, I drink a lot more fruit teas now, and I personally like the peach black tea or rose spring tea (again at half sweet for me) with lychee jelly. I also like their choice of the crunchy small ice, but I will say it does come up the boba straw and hit my teeth sometimes. One con for me are the prices (they can be a bit high), which I don't mind paying from time-to-time for a good drink. The other con is the staff. They aren't the most inviting people, and often they are on their phones or chatting with coworkers, which I don't mind, but they sometimes continue to do it when customers come in, and it makes it a bit awkward. It's been a while since I went, so I'm not sure if that has changed. The store itself is typically empty when I go, and it's become a bit run down over the years, so I don't really try to stay for long, but it is a decent space. read more

Friday morning 11am Three friends ordering tea and just hanging out and catching up on life. Our first visit and we love tea so thought we would pop in. The gentleman taking our order was quite patient as we perused the menu. One friend ordered a cold tai tea. Two friends ordered hot teas. All were enjoyed. Fair prices and delicious tea. People came and went and we stayed for a couple of hours. Never felt rushed. 4/5 stars because there are no food items on the menu. We were getting a bit hungry and would have liked a little munchy but alas, you're not going to get anything here. read more

It was delicious and I would go there again the where quick they all have good attitudes and stuff like that

I do think they have good boba drinks here and the spot is smaller but clean. Service is always fine. read more

I think I found a new place to get some laptop work done and sip a delicious coffee beverage! I popped in here on Saturday and it was empty, but busy. Most everyone orders their drink and leaves with exception of a few. I had to get some work done so order the salted caramel coffee, at 20% sweet, with a shot of espresso. I was expecting this drink to be a sugar bomb, but the sweetness level wasn't bad. I think the espresso helped takeaway some of the sugary flavor. I never drink sugary drinks and even with minimal syrup it was still sweet. Rare tea also sells multiple milk tea options like taro, Thai, and a strawberry milk tea smoothie. Love the look and vibe here. Shout out to the person running the music, thanks for the Deftones playlist! read more

We travel to Clovis from Reedley just to get their Vietnamese coffee. Seriously the best hands down!

I got a hot earl grey milk tea 1/2 sweet. Perfect! My friends got the Thai tea and a jasmine tea. They enjoyed theirs as well. The service was personable and quick. There were plenty of seats with quiet music playing. A great atmosphere for my friends and I to catch up on life! I only wish there were snacks or food. Next time I will know to eat first. read more

It's been a while since I've went back to this place, but I'd say this is a pretty solid boba place to stop by whenever you find some off time and you want to spontaneously want to grab some. They had some pretty good songs playing if you're into 88rising and the service was pretty fast! The matcha lychee was a little powdery, but overall, I still enjoyed it and I love their choice of ice (that crunched kind and not the cubes). The rose spring tea was really good, but had I had to choose the matcha as a milk tea enjoyer. read more

Love their drinks, dislike their service. Here is a suggestion: Greet your customers when they come in. Better yet...greet them when they are standing at the counter or even offer help. No matter which staff member I get and at different part of the day, it's the same. Very awkward. There are plenty of boba options, and sometimes it is really about the service. If owned by the same owner, the one is Fresno is NOT like this. How come? Please consider my suggestion. Thanks. read more

9/5/25 - 4:40pm I hope they train the new girl working the register. She had zero ounce of customer service in her and it almost made me walk out or tell her that she should say hi when I get to the register. She looked at me when I came in, I waited in line, came to the register and she just stared at me even after I very nicely said hi??? I even said thank you when I finished ordering and... nothing? I've been in customer service for over 7+ years and greeting people is what makes an impression and how you earn your tips. This should also be the FIRST thing to train on. I never thought I would have to, but this time around the customer service really irked me when I was having a great day. Drink was good as always though read more

Pros: Drinks are okay. Neat and clean dinning area. Prices are alright for portion size. Cons: Service was okay. Have had some drinks that were a bit off. read more

I'm still a fan but I gotta stick to my mango green tea drink. I got the matcha rose and even with 0% sweet it was pretty sweet bc the rose is a syrup. Oh well. Also disappointingly the boba was not the right chewy. This is very very disappointing for a $7 drink! It should be consistent. I expect better from rare tea. Well their tea is still the best I've found in fresno, not bitter but strong, so far but their boba is a hit or miss it seems. New hours happily opening at 10am now yay. Now if they could get their service down. The girl helping seemed new and thankfully the other guy in there was helping her out and teaching her how to make the drink but... overall the vibe in there is just not. That. Warm. They did greet me at least. They need to work on service if they want to do well in Clovis! read more

I came to this Rare Tea on 03/31/22 as I was in the area. I have only tried the other location off Herndon and 99 and thought it was pretty good so I was hoping this location would be the same. I was greeted upon entering. I already knew what I wanted which was a matcha rose latte with boba. The worker was friendly and kind. It smelled good and very clean inside and they were all wearing face masks. I asked the employee if the Matcha Rose Latte was Dairy free and he said "No". The other location had it Dairy free so I can already see this difference at this location. The only diary free option they had was Oatmilk which I had before at Starbucks and it was alright. I accepted the Oatmilk and they charge a really high price for it and my drink was almost $9 geez. I would not complain if my drink tasted 9 dollars and of course I added boba which was an additional charge. It took a while for my drink to get ready as I was the only customer but I could tell they were working as fast as they could and probably with my substitutions it takes a while. The employee let me know when my drink was ready and it was pretty. I took a sip and it tasted alright. When I got to my car and left I noticed the Oatmilk tasted like the "box" or "carton" taste. It was so off putting so I really didn't enjoy my almost $10 drink. I guess what I am saying the Oatmilk didn't taste fresh at all. It was totally stale. I probably would not get another Latte here but maybe just an Ice Tea. I felt obligated to finish it. I didn't want to go back and have them remake it as I was pretty much ready at a point in my drive it was not worth it to turn around and wait for a total new drink. I finished it like a champ. Overall, it wasn't the worse experience but not the best. The oatmilk with the box taste was off putting but it was drinkable. I will give the another try in the future but maybe stick to Rare Tea in Herndon and 99. read more

I'm not sure what makes their Strawberry Milk Tea (this one comes blended) so good, but it's liquid crack. Add boba? I'm in heaven. Like most boba places you can also adjust the sweetness level. A little pricey, but what isn't these days. Their drink menu isn't as huge as my favorite place, but there's enough variety to find something and the drinks and boba are always good. read more

They offer a wide section of freshly brewed teas, coffee, and smooTEAS and latTEAS! Friendly staff and clean establishment. This location is bigger than their New Fresno location and does include indoor seating. I really enjoy their Teapresso, Okinawa Smoothie (?), and Pumpkin LatTEA with snow cream! Truly rare compared to other boba places in town. *Order online ahead of time if you don't like strangers breathing down your neck and waiting in long lines like me! https://rareteafresno.square.site read more

I go here often to get my Thai Milk Boba fix ;) So happy they are so close to home like 3 mins away. They have a lot of variety drinks. I've tried a few so far, like the taro, Oreo and Carmel brûlée. Still slowing going down the list to try the rest. They also mark ones that are caffeine free for kids. Which I appreciate since I have a 4 year old son. Today I ordered my son the Strawberry Milk w/ boba & pudding. He loves strawberries so this was tasty and different at first maybe because it had pudding. But he ended up liking it. Still a lot for him to drink all by himself. He loves the boba :) They also have a rewards program. I love Vanntastic Sweets their macaroons are so good and not too sweet either. Rare Tea had limited offers. Today they had Okinawa Milk Tea, Matcha, Cookies&Cream, Thai Tea and Strawberry Cheesecake. All delicious. Came on a Friday at 4pm and was not busy. One person ahead of me. And still got my order in less than 5 mins. read more

Came here late at night since I was in the area. Not gonna lie, it's pretty nice inside. Very spacious and clean, I loved the vibe of the decor. I wanted to try their special brown sugar drink, without the brown sugar boba (replaced it with lychee jelly). It wasn't bad, the drink had a very earthy and herby taste rather than a sweet and creamy taste. Not how I expect my brown sugar drink to be, but it was an experience! The cups are super sturdy, which was very surprising! It's not your typical plastic cup that other boba places have, it's thicker and stronger! I love the cups here! I just wished it wasn't a sealed top, I would love to reuse it. Highly recommend but wouldn't take the time to drive there. read more

This place has definitely grown on me!! We love about 15-20 mins away so this is always a special trek! The high mountain tea hits my soul like no other. I've tried finding an oolong I loved since 85C (Bay/LA) stopped carrying it. Literally tears down my face. And who better to show up, than RARE TEA!! I feel like what sets this place apart from others is quality (by far best oolong) and the service. The owners remember you AND your drinks!!! Right down to the sugar and ice level!! Now THAT is awesome. Everything always feels personal here and I walk away, every time, with my perfect drink. read more

I drink a lot of boba and Rare Tea surpassed my high expectations. The drinks here were tasty, so much that I drove back to get another two drinks before leaving the Central Valley. I first had the mango milk tea and then for my second trip had the mango milk tea again along with the Okinawa milk tea. Mango Milk Tea- My favorite of the two and easily one of the best boba drinks I have ever had! I highly recommend if you are a mango enthusiast as the drink is a refreshing take on a classic tasting tropical but not too sweet. The tapioca balls were leaning more towards the soft side but went great with the mango tea. The ice was not the usual chunks but rather small squares that I liked. Okinawa Milk Tea- A solid option, especially if you have a sweet tooth. The roasted brown sugar tasted almost chocolatey. While the best seller of Rare Tea, a little too sweet for me. Overall, I am now a fan of Rare Tea. I recommend you try the TEArrific boba for yourself. :D read more

So good!!! Haven't had a good boba in a while. Super excited to get some after dinner. Arrived around 7pm there was a few customers but there wasn't a line. We got greeted and got 2 of their popular specialty drinks. I ordered the brown sugar boba fresh milk and fiance got strawberry berry snow cream and added grass jelly. Waited no more than 10 mins for our drink. The brown sugar boba fresh was delicious. We requested 75% sweetness on both drinks but they could only do it for the strawberry because they couldn't reduce the sweetness level on the brown sugar. The boba was so soft and fresh. Good portion, I was happy that the brown sugar boba fresh milk wasn't overwhelming sweet. Towards the end of my drink I did however feel there was a bit too much boba, might just have to ask them to go light on it on my next drink. The strawberry, I wasn't to crazy over it, and not a huge fan of strawberries but fiance enjoyed it he drank it so quick I only got one sip so really dissect the flavors in the drink. This place like most tea shops offer the classics, toppings, snow creme, fruit teas, tea with espresso brew, they have a specialty menu and smoothies. Love that you can adjust the ice levels and sweetness levels. They also offer a rewards program. You simply enter your phone number on the kiosk and you will recieve a text message. 1point per $1 spent, after 50 points you get $5 off on your order. Complaint to social distancing. Beautiful modern interior. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back! read more

Love this place!!! Super quick service even when it's busy and customer service is AMAZING!

Rare tea houses a cute atmosphere and fast service, but the drinks are not my favorite. Every drink has been too sweet for me. I have tried their matchas and various fruit teas, but the drink makers were not able to adjust sweetness well because the drinks were still way too sweet even at 0% sweet, which was alarming. The only exception and acceptable drink I had was when I asked for and emphasized ABSOLUTELY no sweetener or sweetness of any kind in my matcha. It seems that Rare Tea only offers two sweetness levels: none or syrup-level sweet. read more

It was good, but the same drink can vary as it was a hit and miss depending on who makes it. Not consistent on the sweetness and ice level.

My little brother comes by here, at least once a week. Naturally, he's the one that introduced me to this spot. Every drink that I have ordered here has been so delicious and always quickly made. I also love that you can customize how sweet you order it. One of my favorites is the sea salt, coffee! I seriously could drink that coffee every day! When it's hot out, I typically order some of the iced teas. I've also gone there a few times to get some work done. It is usually pretty quiet. Also, the owner is very nice and personable. read more

Best boba shop in town. From someone that has been working as a manager for restaurants and boba shops for over 10 years, I'm impressed with the consistency of taste and quality of RareTea Clovis. Luckily, I had a chance to actually talk with the owner and he showed me the top-tier ingredients as well as inventories they use to craft the drinks that are made to order. Tea selections are abundant and brewed freshly everyday. Unlike many boba shops that use fruit syrups and additives, this place uses fresh fruits and real purees for their drinks. Last but not least, the shop is super clean and the restroom is well-maintained. If you live in Clovis or have a chance to swing by, treat yourself with some boba drink. My favorite are thai tea and caramelized brown sugar boba with fresh milk. Note: You can adjust sweetness level and they do have non-dairy options for vegans. read more

Really cute boba shop in Clovis. My go to is the rose milk tea with brown sugar boba, and this one was delicious. Their boba has been really fresh each time I've had it. I usually adjust the sweetness but I didn't have to here. There were a couple of orders right in front of me but they got all of our drinks out within a few minutes. The server was friendly and double checked if we wanted to make any adjustments as we ordered, then repeated the order back. We also got a couple of macarons with tea and rose inside. They're made by Vanntastic Sweets. They're a little pricey at $2.50 but they're perfect so you get what you pay for. I also nabbed one of their Lunar New Year tiger stickers for $1. It's pretty far from my home so I won't be here often but I'm sure I'll be thinking of an excuse to stop by when I'm in the area. read more

Quality of boba separates the men from the boys of Asian tea shops. The boba here is perfectly textured and chewy through and through. No signs of hard, uncooked boba. They also have ai-Yu and grass jelly, my childhood favorites from Taiwan. Our first time trying here and it's very close to the freeway! We stopped by on our drive from norca to SoCal during Labor Day weekend and they made our drinks fast! We had the Okinawa milk tea which is non dairy creamer! We did 50% sweetness and it was perfectly light. Any lighter and it would feel watered down. We also had the kiwi aiyu fruit tea at 50% sweetness. Both were perfect. I like that these drinks had the natural taste of the tea and the fruits rather than just sugar overpowering the drinks. If you plan to get your money's worth, get full sweet and split it at home and dilute with water. $6 a drink means you gots to do what it takes to make that money last longer! We look forward to trying more when we come back! read more

Hands down thee best boba tea in town. It is REALLY difficult to go anywhere else in town because the taste quality just does not measure up to this place.

Also the customer service is top notch. read more
