    Unrestricted parking across the street near BMO bank & Casa Del Toro as suggested by T4 worker
    Sherri W.

    While passing through Hayward & wanting a boba tea, T4 was one of the suggested places. I've gone to the one in San Leandro but not to this store. It was quite spacious, so I could see people studying or hanging out at this location. Service was done in person so bc it wasn't busy I was able to just tell the cashier my order. Unfortunately instead of her hearing I wanted the Rose Tea, she gave me the Roasted Oolong tea. I didn't bother to go back to correct it but next time would probably just order it from the kiosk. Order: Roasted Oolong Tea w/boba-fragrant oolong tea with 50% sugar & no ice was the right amount of sweetness, but I would rather have had the Rose Tea. Despite this order mishap, the service is great. I was even shown where to park when I come back next time. Just go across the street & you don't need to worry about a time limit. I thought this was very helpful info. So I'll be back to visit soon.

    Great location in downtown Hayward and open late, which is always a plus. The staff was friendly and super helpful, and the place was clean inside. They even have games you can play while you're there, which is a fun touch. I ordered the chocolate milkshake with 50% sweetness and almond milk--so good. Highly recommend!

    Quickly / T4 not sure of the branding. Either way they make a delicious Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, added Oreo for personal preference

    Rose milk tea
    Erly M.

    I can't find rose milk tea in other places so I was over the moon when I saw that there was a T4 while I was walking. There was one in Castro Valley that closed a while ago. Since then I moved and I always kept my eye on finding rose milk tea but didn't have much luck. It was good I'm no expert on bobba tea but I found the flavor that I was looking for so that's great! I got 50% sweetness and it was perfect sweetness for me, not too sweet.

    Popcorn Chicken nice and crispy
    Lore M.

    Ordered on DoorDash for me and some coworkers. Loved my drink order Taro Milk Tea w/ sea salt cream. My coworkers were happy with their drink orders as well. Popcorn chicken is good, I asked for a side of chili powder which wasn't given. I know when you go in person you put your own chili powder, but they should have a better system for people who order on DoorDash.

    T4 is always my go to place when I want to get boba drinks. The staffs are nice and service is always great. Love the variety of drinks and food.

    Service was amazing and they were so patient with me! Nice and spacious and it smelled amazing. I tried a new tea and the popcorn chicken! So glad I found a place that I can relax in. I'll definitely be back!

    Inside

    I decided to stop by to get a hot drink since it was cold outside. I didn't have to wait long after I placed my order since there were only a few people inside. My go-to order is The Earl Grey Milk Tea with Agar Pearl 50% sweet. The agar was super melted when the drink was hot, but once the drink started to cool down, the pearl was the perfect texture (super chewy). I have ordered this drink in the past, and from my memory, it was always chewy even when the drink was hot. Guess this means I will have to come back again to give this drink a try and do 0% sweet.

    Popcorn Chicken
    Brenda M.

    I stopped here on my way to the movies next door and it did not disappoint! I ordered popcorn chicken and it was cooked perfectly plus they had Sriracha sauce! The caramel milk tea tastes authentic and not powdery. It is also very spacious with 9 tables inside and restrooms available for customers. The employees are very kind and provide quick service. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in the area!

    Strawberry lemonade & Oreo
    Javier P.

    It's been a few years since I've had T4. Not into it like I used to be. Walked in with my six year old niece because she was thirsty and wanted the Oreo drink and the strawberry lemonade for me. I returned 30 minutes later with my mom, my sister, and my seven month old niece past out in my arms because they were getting their nails done earlier. My niece started making moves on the new drinks lol. It wasn't busy Sunday afternoon which made the service fast.

    5 snacks and a drink $43.26
    Rebecca B.

    Ordered fried lobster ball, egg puff, popcorn chicken, takoyaki, fried squid, and taro milktea with honeydew popping boba for delivery. Decent snacks and drinks, nothing to rave about. Popcorn chicken didn't come with spicy powder. Tip: heat the egg puffs in the toaster oven to make them crispy.

    My favorite popcorn chicken
    Lai L.

    T4 has always been one of my favorite boba places to go. We usually always order the same thing each time we go because we know what we like. I usually like to call in before I go, because their online ordering system is a little slow. I think ordering via phone or in person is faster. The staff is pretty friendly and their drinks always hit the spot. I always have to get the basil popcorn chicken when I go. They have the best popcorn chicken! I don't know what they put in there, but I know there are a lot of spices! My go-to milk tea is always the wintermelon, and my husband and son always get their favorites: pineapple slush and strawberry milkshake -- all with boba! I like that all the T4 drinks are consistent every location I go to! I also think the location is great...a little of a drive for me, but worth it.

    Ricca Cathrina E.

    Love the service when we go here. Staff is always friendly and service is fast. Place is always clean and organized. Nice location in downtown near other establishments in case you want to hit other stores. Limited strew parking but there is a free parking by the movie theater, walking distance from the location.

They made my day better after interacting with her. I ordered a drink for my wife and she decided i didn't order it correctly so I asked if they can change the order. I was expecting them to do it if I asked but she was so kind. She offered me to keep the first drink and remade a new one for me with a huge smile. Excellent customer experience save. The drinks are also excellent and I really liked the taro drink with fresh taro. It'll be nice with even a little more taro or taro paste. Wish we could choose sugar level but nothing seems overly sweet here. Only complaint is that the drink lids ripe every time you insert a straw. They need nicer plastic lids. Mines ripped and I ask her to re-lid it and it ripped the second time. The other two drinks also ripped when I got home. Easy to spill once ripped.

Everything is sweetened at 50% so you can gauge what you may like in your own drink. I've been coming to this teaspoon since they took over the Quickly that occupied this space. Let me say this was one of the best things to happen to this area. This particular teaspoon sets the standard high on efficiency and quality of their products. I can't remember ever saying my drink tasted wrong or took too long to make. The workers are always on top of their game. You can also save some time and order online through doordash. They're usually very quick with online orders. We usually get either the lychee on lychee, peach oolong or the guava sunset. As mentioned, their drinks lean on the sweeter side even at 50% so if you want something more light definitely opt for 25% sweetness and less ice. For fruitier drinks I usually opt for crystal boba but honey boba works too if you want a chewier texture. Overall can't wait to be back and highly recommend.

    Malaya Tea Room is situated along a somewhat local street; it's nestled between a smattering of…read moreother local shops, including a record shop and a coffeeshop. The only option is street parking, so finding a good spot can be difficult. It is an extremely popular spot, so I'd advise making your reservation weeks ahead of time. Once you're inside, though, it's a great experience. Though gu the shop is small and the tables a bit crowded together, the atmosphere is lovely. The decor is tastefully quaint, and the space is clean and well-lit. The tea service itself is lovely as well. The full tea service, which runs each person $48, includes your pick from a very large variety of teas and sandwiches, including a couple vegetarian options, though I wouldn't call the overall menu vegetarian-friendly. Each table also comes with a little container of sugar cubes and creamer for their tea. This far, all of the sandwiches and teas that I have tried are very good. Each patron gets their own pot of tea instead of one shared pot for the table, which I love. Each set also comes with a scone with clotted cream and jam, a potato canape, and a selection of small desserts. It was more than enough to satisfy me. I really love that they offer both traditional British flavors as well as unique Malaysian flavors in their menu. The desserts also change from time to time, so every experience can feel a little special and new. It gives this spot a unique feel that I haven't yet found elsewhere. Overall, the experience was very positive and I absolutely do recommend it to anyone who has the time and interest. Though $48 is definitely not cheap on the surface, I feel that the unique menu, quantity of food and drink, and general enjoyability of the experience make the price worth it.

Even though there was a sign mentioning that it was a small space and asking guests to keep the volume down, that didn't really happen. One of the other parties was an intimate baby shower. My friends and I weren't exactly quiet either, but I think it was because the whole room was fairly lively. There were so many different kinds of tea to choose from. There were six of us, and we all ordered different flavors so we could sample each other's teas. The sandwich selection was also impressive, and our tea towers included a variety of small desserts that were all delicious as well. I chose the Smoked Salmon & Chive Cream Cheese, Cucumber & Dill Cream Cheese, and Coconut Jam (Kaya) with sliced cold butter. The Kaya sandwich was easily my favorite. The desserts were a wonderful addition to the experience, and everyone at the table enjoyed them. I was torn between ordering the Peaches & Cream Black Tea and a green tea. I ended up choosing the Genmaicha with Coconut, and it was delicious. If I come back, I'd definitely like to try the Peaches & Cream Black Tea. As a group, we all agreed that the Kaya sandwich was the standout item. We did have a small hiccup at the beginning because two of our tea orders arrived without tea bags--basically just hot water! We all had a good laugh about it. They were busy, and mistakes happen. The staff was very apologetic and corrected it right away. They even offered us two extra sandwich orders, which was a very thoughtful gesture. Overall, it was a good experience, and I enjoyed my first tea party. However, I do feel that this venue is better suited for a calmer, more intimate gathering, such as a bridal shower or a quiet afternoon tea with close friends. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Anytime someone rang the bell, they came to the table almost immediately. If you're looking for a relaxing tea experience with a small group, this is definitely a place worth trying. For my group of friends, we're a little louder and more energetic, so it almost felt like we were too much for such a peaceful setting. Still, we had a wonderful time and would recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and cozy tea house

Was so glad that she was able to open up her own bakery/cafe to feature these and additional Asian-inspired desserts for the Bay Area to try! MACARONS. I've been a fan of these Macarons for years, and what first drew me in was their adorable themed designs for holidays and special occasions like Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. While their character macarons and classic rounds are super cute, what keeps me coming back is that they actually taste amazing. There's nothing worse than biting into a beautiful macaron only to find it's dry, but that's definitely not the case here. Their macarons are consistently moist, flavorful, and fresh, with the perfect texture every time. It's the best of both worlds--beautiful designs that are almost too cute to eat and quality that lives up to the hype! JAPANESE SOUFFLE CHEESECAKE. My first Japanese soufflé cheesecake experience was from a commercial chain, and while it was light and fluffy, it doesn't compare to Always Yours Bakery Cafe. Their cheesecakes are THIQ in the best way possible--rich, dense, creamy, and still have that perfect jiggle. My absolute favorite flavor is the Ube! Ever since discovering them, I'd much rather order a whole cheesecake from here than pick up a standard birthday cake from the grocery store. It's always a crowd-pleaser! DRINKS. I'm def a matcha gworrrrl so I had to try as many flavors as I could! They have pistachio, banana cream, strawberry, and creme brûlée. What really stole my heart was the Earl Grey Creme Brûlée Milk Tea! "Creamy earl grey tea with your choice of milk, topped with our housemade salted cheese cream, torched sugar, and creme brûlée pudding." It's def a unique combo I haven't came across any other milk tea shop yet til here, and given that it's a bakery, I figured their creme brûlée would be amazing--and it FASHO IS! I recommend it with oatmilk and less sweetness to help balance all the flavors. _______________________________________________________ --- S E R V I C E --- The staff is always so friendly and accommodating, and you can tell they truly care about their customers and the quality of what they serve. And the turnaround is pretty quick! _______________________________________________________ --- A M B I A N C E -- The ambiance is just as charming as the desserts. When you first walk in, you're greeted by a display case filled with beautiful desserts, and I definitely recommend taking a look at the other treats on the menu besides the cheesecakes. There's even a claw machine filled with adorable boba plushies that adds a fun touch to the space. The dining area is small but thoughtfully designed, with marble-inspired walls, pops of greenery from the plants, and a purple neon sign that ties everything together. It has cozy, trendy café vibes and is the perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy a sweet treat. _______________________________________________________ Be sure to check out their page for events!

Not only are you able to purchase from their bakery case, you can also request to have desserts made for special events! (In advance of course.) I very much enjoy their macarons and fresh fruit tarts. They also added Banana Matcha to their menu when it became a craze, and I 10/10 would recommend it. They use high quality matcha powder (Marukyu Koyamaen) for their drinks. This is one of the few things that drew me into their cafe. The baristas are extremely friendly and have a wonderful sense of humor, AND they support small businesses! While you wait for your order, you can browse their shelf full of crystal candies, matcha sets, candles, and they may also have Natsume matcha tins available! (This is not the matcha they use in their drinks, but it's nice to have other options available to buy.) ^^ So if you're in the East Bay and are looking for a business to support, go to Always Yours Bakery Cafe (they're also available on the Too Good To Go app)! They have beautiful outdoor seating available, as well as cutesy seating indoors. Not sponsored or anything, I just wanted to review one of my favourite cafes in Castro Valley. ^^
