    Wow, I'm actually really happy this T4 is here in Alameda. Having come from the South/East Bay with plentiful of good quality boba, this T4 does not disappoint. They have a variety of snacks and drinks, including egg puffs and coffee jelly (some T4s in South Bay do not have either). Normally I would get the earl grey milk tea, but I wasn't feeling that after dinner and decided to get the earl great black tea with coffee jelly instead, along with chocolate egg puffs. Both were great - especially how the black tea did not have any sediments and was clear, unlike some boba places could have it and it makes the tea have a horrid aftertaste. They also have a daily Happy Hour promotion of 20% off snacks. Will definitely come again!

    Welcome back! Quality/Quantity - You were one of my daughter's favorite boba places. Usually a 5 star experience. But today, my daughter's boba was firm/hard as if they were old...? But the other drink's boba was good?!?! Was this from the same batch? The flavors of the drinks were good. Atmosphere - Small location. I think it is better than the previous location. At least you are not behind a huge column/pole now. Metered street parking. A few tables inside for eating and drinking. I believe a unisex bathroom...? I did not check, sorry. But I did notice a line for the bathroom. Service - Self service iPad. Then they call your # or name to pick up at the counter. Happy hour available from 6-8pm, but not worth the drive back to save $2. Price - $13, sorry iPad receipts are email only and my wife paid so I can not give you the drink descriptions, name, etc. Owner Comment - Again, welcome back. Congrats on your opening since 11/2/24. I am sure we will be regular customers again.

    Well, well, well. T4, now that is a name I have not heard in a long time. The last I ever saw of this was early-mid pandemic when it seemed to be struggling. Then the store front went dark and bordered up during the dark times. Lo and behold! Literally just across the street from its original location on Park, it's now re-emerged. Slightly smaller than before but perhaps more manageable this time of the kids do not destroy place like before. So I had to go in and try out what most frequently ordered item from them. Popcorn chicken. It's been many years so I only have a faint memory of how it use to be. But I'd say it's still fairly decent. Hot, crunchy breading and solid seasoning. And just like before they keep the salt n pepper & chili powder shakers at the side to use at your pleasure. A solid snack that I will likely rely upon again. The day I came was a bit early and cold so I wasn't in the mood for a cold frosty smoothie. But the person assured me they still had my ole fav. I think it was called red bean matcha smoothie. I couldn't actually see that name on the board. But I'll be back to test it out later when it's warmer! Stay tuned...

    Soft opening today. I love the popcorn chicken, it was perfectly fried and seasoned. I got my usual milk tea with grass jelly, I really like the silky and smooth grass jelly. I also got the red bean smoothie with boba for the kids, they loved it. The shop is bright and inviting. Servers and baristas were friendly.

    Best boba spot in Alameda. The strawberry milkshake was one of the best I've ever had.

    Best boba spot in Alameda. The strawberry milkshake was one of the best I've ever had. Waffle was super good and not too sweet. Milk tea was also really good. If you're around the area please go to T4 Alameda.

    Balled up pandan waffle

    I'll let the pictures speak for itself. These photos were taken less than five minutes after driving off . I was looking forward to a late night treat. But got met with disappointment. :( this is not how a pandan waffle is suppose to look like. It looked balled up, and had no shape. Looks undercook as well. Always check quality before leaving establishment.

    Out of the neighboring three businesses that also sell Boba on Park St, this location without question sells the best bubble milk tea. My party came at a dead time, but I've also been to other businesses before that did not give us our order for quite a while even when there was nobody else around. The staff here was lightning fast and also very attentive to members of my party. Some of them brought in outside food and while staff had every right to tell us they could not consume it within their business, they were more than generous and provided eating utensils for their meals. I am not sure if that is a norm here, but I did appreciate their consideration and allowing that to occur. I also appreciated how the energy in the business felt. In comparison to others, what I appreciated was at the staff was very engaging with their customers which allowed for a very welcoming environment for patrons. All of us enjoyed our drinks, and I know the next time we're in the area and search of Boba. This will be our only stop. 4/5.

    Only came with 8 pieces for almost 10$ so if ur hungry I suggest getting a different snack!

    Me and my bf were a bit hungry and Was craving a snack so we stopped by at t4. On the wall the pictures of the calamari rings looked good so my bf suggested we order it. After ordering it we were disappointed bc there was only 8 small pieces of calamari & we paid almost 10$ ): def not good to share between us. ( it looks bigger in my photo but it's actually not that big and filled less than half the box) I wasn't sure if that was the usual quantity so I just asked one of the male employee who looked like the manager and asked if they sell by the piece & I think he said it is usually sold by the number of pieces but he gladly just offered us a second batch. Really appreciated it. So 4 stars for him. Hopefully they can clarify there's only 8 pieces on the wall or menu so ppl won't be disappointed when they order it. If you're hungry I suggest ordering the popcorn chicken as a better snack and enough to share!!

    I come here often and I'm always meet with great service and amazing food. The boba is soft and chewy and the popcorn chicken is hot, crunchy, with decent portions. I recommend coming here during happy hour. Overall this place is great

    I walk by this spot quite often, so I needed to give it a try. I am glad I stopped in! The staff is…read moreso friendly and helpful recommending exactly what I need. They have a lot of options, so it was nice to have their recommendations to help. The smoothies and acai bowls can take a little long to be made, they are a small shop and have a lot of customers at once, so be prepared to wait if you come! The smoothies are super thick and rich in flavor, and they give you a lot of everything! Keep that in mind when you're ordering, because some flavors (peanut butter) can be more powerful and dominating than others! But it's still so delicious and I can't wait to drop back in to try something new!

She greeted me right away and even recommended a smoothie which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the smoothie itself wasn't blended well and had large chunks of fruit and ice, making it difficult to drink through the straw. Since the shop wasn't busy and the smoothie was over $12 I politely asked if it could be blended a little more. The man working there (white pants, black shirt, black bandana, glasses) rolled his eyes, stared at me and said in a rude tone, "I can't blend your smoothie I'd have to make a whole new one." His attitude made me feel uncomfortable for even asking so I said "ok just forget about it." He responded with "ok good" and walked away. I completely understand if there's a policy about not re-blending drinks after they've been served. That's not the issue. The issue was the unnecessary attitude toward a customer who was being polite. I ended up leaving the smoothie there and wasting my money. Hopefully management sees this and addresses how customers are treated.

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.
