Second time experiencing poor service here. I wasn't even frustrated, just shocked. The younger…read morestaff were polite and helpful, but the adult employee had a bad attitude and honestly could learn basic customer service from the kids working there. I ordered two drinks and popcorn chicken to go and wasn't given a detailed receipt. When I came back, I was asked for another receipt I never received, and there was confusion about the $0.10 bag I had already asked for. After an awkward exchange, she finally gave me one but looked clearly annoyed. It's not about the dime , I had already tipped. Service and attitude matter, and this experience makes me think twice about coming back.

Such a cute experience, British afternoon tea meets Malaysian comfort!…read more I came here recently with my partner for our anniversary and was completely delighted with the experience. Heads up, this place is street parking only so come prepared! I would also recommend making a reservation since it is a smaller space (it was busy when I came!) The menu is pretty straight forward and majority of folks including us ordered a set for $45 each person. It comes with two choices of sandwiches, a scone, an array of sweets, and tea of choice. What makes this place so great too is that they allow you to pick sandwiches that are traditional to English Breakfast or you can go out of your way to pick traditionally Asian flavors. Between my partner and I we ordered: Meat floss sandwich (my favorite but that is because I have an affinity for meat floss), beef jerky (love how it paired with the creamy mayo), kaya jam with butter (a delicious salty sweet blend), and chicken curry (comfort food at best). We both enjoyed the scone with clotted cream and jam, very typical for afternoon tea, and in the dessert tier we got chocolate rocks (fun!), macarons, ube chiffon cake, and a strawberry sago pudding. Heads up everyone in your party gets their own tea set so you can mix and match to share with folks. Btw, they do have square sugar cubes, a nice accent. Overall, I feel like you should try this place at least once! Everything was great including our service!

They had an abundance of tea selections to choose from. You can also have milk on the side and sugar cubes are on the table.

Rating: 3.5 We…read moreordered the Tropical Breeze (not pictured) and a Strawberry Milk Tea with added strawberry jelly. The Tropical Breeze, which features honeydew and pineapple, is a good option if you enjoy sweet and tart flavors. The Strawberry Milk Tea tastes like a classic milk tea mixed with strawberry puree. The drinks can be hit or miss; some days they are great and other days not as much. The shop itself is cute, with tables and seating available. There is usually music playing, making it a nice place to relax or hang out. Based on my visits, I would rate the place around a 3 to 3.5. The drinks can be inconsistent, and while the service is courteous, it is not exceptional. When they first opened, this was one of the few boba spots in Alameda. Although there are now many more choices, it remains one of my regular options when I am craving boba in the area.

I'm usually very particular about matcha since I've perfected my own recipe to suit my personal…read moretaste, but I have to say I really enjoyed their Earl Grey Matcha from the seasonal menu. It wasn't overly sweet and still maintained that earthy matcha flavor that many places tend to lose when they jump on the matcha trend. My husband ordered the Vanilla Bean Caramel Latte, also from the seasonal menu, and loved it so much that he said this is now his favorite coffee spot. Safe to say, whenever we're back in town, we'll definitely be returning!

A lovely spot to kill time while my son was out on the water. Upon opening the door, I was greeted…read morewarmly by the staff and made to feel quite welcome. The seating is mostly at table tables along the wall walls of window. It was kind of neat to be able to sit and watch people walk by in the traffic as it ebbed and flowed toward the bridge. The early morning was rather quiet outside so it wasn't noisy at all. I had a lovely chai latte, extra spicy. It was perfect after the chilly walk to this little space of warmth. They had a nice selection of pastries, ultimately I chose a danish because I love them. This one did not disappoint. It was tender and flaky and went perfectly dipped in my chai. If ever, we are in the area again, I will definitely pay another visit. It was nice to step into a local place that wasn't a chain. I think the quality of staff and consumable offerings was just so much better than you would find at one of the other places.

I ordered the Peach Grapefruit Green Tea and the Sugar Cane Mountain Tea. I thought both drinks…read morewere okay. The grapefruit in the green tea was kind of sour. I got it at 70% sweetness and the drink was pretty sweet but the fruits were sour and didn't seem to go well with the tea. The sugar cane tea was also with 70% sweetness and it was pretty sweet. I think I prefer sugar cane juice without tea. The store was dim and doesn't seem too captivating. If I were to come back. I'd give the strawberry series a try.

The reviews and ratings do not lie. This tea shop is about average. I'm not sure if it's standard…read morefor this franchise or if this particular store is just okay. Either way, it's really been hit or miss for me. I absolutely love their iced almond drink with jelly. I don't even mind that it doesn't have caffeine. The mango sago is also good, although a bit too sweet. I always order 30% for any drinks but I would even go as far as 0% here. The milk teas are not good. The tea is just weak and after my drink today (an oolong milk tea), I think I am done with anything other than the almond drink. What a bummer and with so many other options in town, it's easy to pass on this one.

Finally got a chance to try the hanoi egg coffee. The bobarista did not ask me for a size so I am…read morenot sure if I can get a larger size. I would def adjust sweetness next time. Once the ice melts into it, it is good. The egg cream is good too. I also got the lychee milk tea with lowest sweetness and boba and it was pretty sweet. But good treat lol. Boba was a bit hard to chew.

Who hires the employees here???…read more No matter what day or time we go, even with 5 minutes left to closing, every single employee is welcoming, kind, patient, respectful, and just great. Some of the other boba places in the area are rude when we grab our last minute boba and it shows on their face and when we are ordering. I get it, they just want to close and go home, but at Boba Me? They hide it very well if they're trying to close and last minute customers like us come strolling in LoL Ambience is bright and spacey, plenty of seating and it's become our go-to for evening boba. Keep up the great work!

I run a couple of times a week in the area, I'll usually go into Safeway for some post run fuel…read more Decided to come in here and try an iced latte. I came in around 8:30, a few tables outside had people drinking their coffees and eating breakfast. When I walked in, only one guy was waiting for his order. There was only one person working. The service was not good. I stood at the order counter for 5 minutes, I looked at the lady, she looked at me, and didn't offer a high I'll be right with you. I understand she was the only one preparing coffee and food. I'm not trying to complain about the wait, but the lack of acknowledging a customer to say it will take some time. I finally ordered an iced latte. I do think they have some creative drinks, but I know they are usually too sweet and I just opt for a plain iced latte instead. It was an ok latte, nothing amazing. They have a bulletin board for people to post their flyers or business cards. There was a card on the board that said A.W.A.R - All woke are retards. I'm sure that's not the view of the establishment. I do think they need to screen the board from time to time.

I love this plaaaaaaace!!! Please try this place If I lived closer, I would be coming here…read moreeveryday. First of all, the ambience is so cute and warm. The vibes are far beyond just immaculate. There's not a whole lot of seating area, but it was empty when we got there, so we just sat and chatted for an hour by their little fireplace thing. The place gives clean cozy mid century modern bar vibes. Minus the alcohol. Service was 100/10 as well. They were so patient with us as we couldn't decide what to order from their delicious selection of drinks. We ended up getting 4 drinks for 3 people because of that My favorite was definitely the golden nectar. It had such warm fall flavors while being light and refreshing. Second favorite was the matcha calamansi. Wasn't sure if the combo would be good, but it was!!! Overall, amazing cafe!!! 10000/10 they also have a little dog that came out to tentatively greet us for a couple minutes haha
