It was delicious here. I had a mango smoothie and I recall just like really enjoying the richness and the flavor. It wasn't too sweet, thankfully. I highly recommend ithere. Give them a try and let us know which flavor is your favorite. So far the mango is mine! Enjoy! read more

So sad...no more coconut noodles :((( Used to go to this place for the Coco Mango drink and now they don't have coconut noodles anymore. The topping changed to coconut jelly instead. Won't be making the trip out here anymore since the real coconut noodles were the only thing that kept us coming back :( read more

Suptea Lab - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

I had a craving for popcorn chicken, so I decided to give this place another try. I visited once when they first opened and did not love what I ordered at the time, mostly because of personal preference, but today's visit changed my impression. Parking is still not ideal since it is all metered and the Grand Lake area is usually busy. Inside, the space is bright, lively, and generally clean. I also appreciate that the menu includes photos, which makes choosing much easier. I ordered the jasmine green tea with sweet creme and really enjoyed it. The tea flavor is on the stronger side, but the creme balances it out nicely. I also ordered the spicy popcorn chicken, and it was fresh, well‑seasoned, and extra crispy just like I requested. No need for extra seasoning at all. Service was solid, and overall this visit was much better than my first. I would definitely stop by again if I am in the area and craving a snack. read more

The popcorn chicken here is SOOOO GOOD. Perfect texture and the chicken is moist and juicyyyyy. Love the fried basil too. If only these had a sauce, this would be perfect. They also don't skimp on the portion :-) Ordered the Grape Potion too, and this drink could have been really good if it wasn't SOOOO SWEET. I got this 50% and it was crazy sugary. I did like the tea and jello in it though! read more

My son has OT a couple doors down, and this is our go to boba spot now. We are here every almost every week. Simple menu. Kiosk for easy and quick ordering. And they typically have drinks out quick. Snacks are pretty good. They come out a bit later. Staff always friendly. And we typically are able to grab a table inside or outside, if we wanted to relax a bit before heading back to our car. My go to drink is the Mango Coco or Mango Creme. My son usually gets a Taro when we go out for boba at other places. But, he doesn't like the Fresh Ube here, so he gets the Strawberry Potion or Strawberry Shake. The bentos are pretty good. We got the boys boxes for lunch once. Very good portions. I love getting an order of Sesame Balls. Most snacks come out piping hot! read more

Love the drink offerings here! The people at the register are always very helpful and will answer any questions you have. I've enjoyed a lot of their drinks in the past like the Grape Elixir, Mango Creme, and Lychee Shake. The drinks are very refreshing and flavorful, and the texture of the boba is just right. The drink come out pretty fast too. There are a few tables inside and outside the store, and I haven't had much of a problem with street parking. read more

The kids loved their drinks including me. Love how she helped out with what can be adjusted to better taste of my liking. Popcorn chicken was good nice and crispy! Love the tofu cause it's soft tofu and the batter is my faaav. But could be more seasoned. But def want to try more of their fruit teas! read more

Suptea Lab - mango coco and popcorn chicken - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Everything here is a HIT. The popcorn chicken is literally the best in town--crispy, flavorful, and addicting. The tofu and salt-and-pepper fish are absolute MUST-tries too. Now let's talk drinks... OUTSTANDING. I've tried almost the entire menu and there's not a single miss. If you're into fruity drinks, don't skip the Strawberry Potion, Overly Peach, or Passionfruit--super refreshing and packed with flavor. Milk tea lovers, you're in for a treat. The Matcha Latte, Black Milk Tea, and Oolong are all top-tier. Pro tip: order their SupTeaLab signature milk tea as plain tea and add sweet cream. TRUST ME--it'll knock your socks off 10/10 would come back again and again. Highly recommend! read more

3.5/5 Came with high expectations due to the great Google and Yelp reviews. My expectations weren't quite met but it was still pleasant to try Suptea Lab for an afternoon snack. We came for drinks and snacks and ended up trying the Roasted Oolong milk tea with added boba, mango osmanthus fruit tea, popcorn chicken and calamari. While we got both drinks less sweet, I think they still could have had even a bit less syrup/sugar. The boba was chewy and pleasant but the jelly in the fruit drink was a bit overpowering Both the popcorn chicken and calamari could have used a bit more seasoning in the breading. We did appreciate how they stayed crispy and were freshly fried. The calamari breading was oddly a bit coconut tasting which was unexpected. Both looked small but as we ate, we still had lots so the portion size is pretty generous! Overall good ideas and options for food/drink but just a little lacking on the execution and balance of flavors. Service was a bit slow but employees were nice. Parking was a bit tricky but we found a spot in the surrounding neighborhood and walked. read more

Cold and Refreshing! Great to have while walking lake Merritt ! I have been here many times and it never disappoints

It was quick and efficient, you order on kiosks. There was a good amount of people ordering. Big group in front of us but I still got my drink in a timely manner. As for the mango creme smoothie, it was delicious! Felt like their menu was a bit small compared to other places but many good options. The creme mixed with the smoothie made the overall drink perfectly creamy and fruity. I got less sweet and I was satisfied. read more

"Damn that's good" was the first thing I said as soon as I took a sip of the mango coco drink - immediately hooked!! I didn't expect to really fall in love with Suptea lab as I came across this boba spot near my spot looking to fill a late night popcorn craving. The popcorn chicken was, to my surprise one of the best I've tried in Oakland It's seasoned with salt and pepper which is exactly the type of popcorn chicken I look for! Definitely has been a spot I've been revisiting constantly. read more

Their milk tea with the tea blend was good. I tried the jasmine later on and thought that one had the best flavor. A bit more floral, but not too strong. The boba itself could be better. I think it was a bit mushier for my liking. The workers were patient and helpful. Nice interior. The Excited to come back and try different teas! read more

Clean and bright shop, so many drink options for everyone. They have fruit teas, milk teas, and some smoothies. I've tried their lychee, mango, and peach teas and they are all solid options very refreshing on a warm day. Owner and staff were friendly and answered questions and let us customize toppings for preset drinks. read more

Only one size for the drinks, but sometimes that's nice since it takes away any guilt of ordering a larger size! Highly recommend the passion fruit, mango coco, and the matcha latte. Their boba is always the perfect chewy texture, and I highly recommend the lychee jelly if you end up doing something more fruit based. As always, less ice and less sweet for me! Their popcorn chicken is also very solid, and I recommend getting the spicy if you like a small amount of kick. I'll always make a stop if I'm in the area for a snack and a beverage. Come and try it out! read more

Been wanting to try Suptea since they're the newest boba kid in the Grand block. They really don't have much competition. The closest boba spots are either Downtown or in Piedmont! Came by to get some bento fried chicken thighs for a quick dinner. They nearly forgot my order, so I had to wait an extra 15 mins, but it's ok. They have lots of seating inside so you can dine in or enjoy some convo with your friends in their shop. They also allowed me to bring my dog in while I waited. The bento is pretty filling. I liked the flavors of the chicken thighs, kind of reminds me of katsu but not as crispy. A little heavy on the sauces which made it a little too salty. But I liked that there were like two steamed broccoli and perfectly cooked white rice. Their ube drink looked pretty good and caffeine-free, it was alright though. Flavor tasted powdered and their honey boba is more translucent and lighter in texture than real tapioca pearls. I liked that they played Cantonese music overhead. Their menu is super easy to read too. Would def like to try their tea drinks, and if you're in a pinch for some affordable bento takeout come to Suptea. read more

I ordered the Suptealab milk tea expecting some kind of classic house milk tea. What I got looked and tasted just like milk. I asked a worker to clarify that they hadn't forgotten to put in the tea and she told me if I wanted it stronger, I should have ordered light ice. I showed her the drink and explained that I did in fact order light ice. She still insists that there's tea in it, it's just VERY light tea. took it home to my boyfriend and asked him to try it without hinting at anything and he immediately said "this just tastes like milk" The worker said to try a different milk tea next time, but there won't be a next time. I'm definitely not going back. If you are planning on coming here, definitely get something else. read more

CocoMango is the one! Lot's places to get boba or teas but when on Grand this is one of my go to.

Grape Potion: 0% additional sweet, regular ice. Delish, refreshing, the kyoho grape juice and "grape" jelly add plenty of sweetness so it's actually quite sweet without added sweetness. really hit the spot after an afternoon full of errands and me running out of juice. funny thing is i shared a sip with someone who had never had kyoho and she didn't think it was grape but some other exotic fruit. A and I have eaten fresh kyoho many times before and thought it tasted just like. shared the salt and pepper tofu, light spice - thin, perfectly crispy coating, super hot and so so soft inside. Be careful of the first bites because it comes freshly fried. appreciate that they use real fruit and make drinks to order so we can specify sweetness and ice levels. wish they had reusable (not disposable) cups for in-store use. we only interacted with staff at counter but the guy was nice. and the restroom was clean and well stocked (pet peeve: anyplace that serves drinks, especially tea/coffee, and doesn't have a restroom!) read more

Suptea Lab opened where Brite Cleaners once was. Decor basically a posted menu & pics of drinks. Order at counter or at kiosk next to wall. Bites/sips came about 10 minutes later. Just a few tables inside... Offerings: fruity/milky drinks, (themes of fruit, coconut, mango), food menu: snacks Sips: matcha latte (6) no sugar, less ice -shook it a few times re instructions. Ceremonial latte bland as no sugar added. Tasted powdery. -had subtle velvet feel. Overall better than others. Bites: popcorn chicken (7.99) mala spicy -small tender morsels thigh meat crunchy on outside, moist inside. -evenly coated with yum mala kick, flava enhanced with prescence of basil leaves. --may be "the best popcorn chicken in town"/bay area. Generous serving, reasonable price. 4ish stars. Artificial lighting decreased quality of food photo... the food section is worth exploring. The drinks maybe not.

Suptea Lab Mango Osmanthus Freshly Passion Service was a little slow, but drinks were on point! Half sweetness & ice on the Mango Osmanthus & Freshly Passion (w/Osmanthus Jelly) were just right. Tea is nice & refreshing & fruits were fresh! The passion fruit seeds were nice & tart, but not overly so. Jelly wasn't processed tasting and added good texture. Will be back! read more

Suptea Lab - Freshly Passion Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Hit or miss in my experience. I've had amazing tea flavor and experience, and other times very lackluster. Even with less ice and less sweet it was still packed with half a cup of ice and too sweet for me, which is too bad since the tea flavor was good/strong last time. The snacks are quite pricy, I'll have to try them next time. There is some seating in here, so you can hangout to eat and have your tea. Service is fine, drinks don't take long to come out. read more

Nice new addition to the Lake Merritt/ Lakeshore area! I love how their menu displays how your drink will be presented as well as if it's caffeinated/ dairy free / etc. I love how the menu has unique selections, and not overwhelmed with many drinks like other boba spots ! A lot of the drinks were on the sweeter side, so 50-75% was perfect for the fruity drinks, if you want to bring out the tea flavor more or the fresh fruits! My favorite was the overly peachy with crystal boba and the coco fresh ube with coconut noodle! I will have to come back to try out more of their menu items as well as their hot food selections! read more

Delicious! We stopped here after our Trivium Escape Room and got the Earl Grey Milk Tea and Kiwi Elixir. Really good tea in the milk tea, and very refreshing fruit drink. Boba texture was on point.

10/10 highly recommend this spot! Their tea is freshly brewed and not premade which makes the flavors of the drinks so much better. We've been to bbt spots that taste powdery but this place uses real tea leaves blends and fresh fruits! The food is well made and seasoned really well. All the food items are deliciously made and so well priced. We found ourselves a new go-to spot in Oakland! Not to mention, the staff provides great service! read more

first time at this boba shop and i'm impressed!! we ordered over 10 drinks (4-5 diff varieties) and everyone really liked their drinks! although, the matcha was in between, just needed to be sifted more. the mango crème and coco were both 5/5!! only street parking available. definitely would be returning if in the area! read more

The drinks were good! We ordered the suptea lab tea, and also the grape potion. Both were really good. I preferred the suptea over the grape potion! Just because the suptea lab had a citrus flavor to it, it also had bits of passion fruits as well. For the grape tea, it came with grape jelly. This drink tasted nostalgic, it tasted similar to grape juice, which I had as a kid before. Overall, it was pretty good! The customer service was so nice as well. Definitely a welcoming vibe and helped us with recommendations. Additionally, nice space area to chat, probably around 6 tables for two people each. It was pretty busy when we came, luckily we found seats. Additionally the restroom was clean! :-) read more

Been here multiple times now, boba is pretty high quality and such a treat to end our day of thrifting and walking around the Grand Lake area. The menu of specialty drinks is small, which is a good sign! I've had the Mango Coco, Coco Fresh Ube, and the Overly Peach. I love that they use real fruit, and the flavors are really spot on. The Coco Fresh Ube was also delicious, not too heavy or sweet. Really refreshing. Mango Coco is their most popular, although the Coconut jelly noodles are kind of a lot in terms of chewing and filling up your belly. Service is super fast and nice. We also ordered the spicy fried tofu. Good price, and pretty tasty. Would recommend. Also, note about the "coconut milk" drinks , I think they still use dairy (regular milk). If you have dairy intolerance, definitely ask about it. Husband's review: Supple and misty tofu.,,,, MMMHHMM. Peach tea. Yea!! read more

I've finally been able to take some photos. lol. Since opening, I've been to SupTea Lab about 5 or so times, and I've enjoyed my drinks and/or popcorn chicken every time. So far, my favorite drinks include the Strawberry Potion and Jasmine Milk Tea, both with boba. I really like the boba texture here. It is a little on the softer side. I know some folks may like slightly firmer boba. An honorable mention is the ube milk tea drink, which has tasty morsels of ube. Service so far has been good. People have been friendly and my drink/s has come out relatively quickly, within 5 mins. Popcorn chicken usually comes out after a little while longer. I will note that the last time I went and ordered chicken, I asked for medium spicy, but it wasn't really spicy at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ however, it was still tasty. Nothing a little hot sauce can't fix. read more

My drinks were good, but took too long. The chicken was weird and I couldn't eat it. They use a really thick batter that is so off putting.
