I consider T4 a classic boba shop, and the boba is always refreshing and tasty. A good value all around.

I recently went to this T4 location before the movies and I had a pretty bad experience. The girl that took my order was so rude! She asked me if I wanted any topping in my drink and SAID no then she rudely said you don't want BOBA ?? I said no again and you can tell she was annoyed. If you are going to work in a place that COSTUMER SERVICES is key don't give attitude to customers.When I got my drink and said thank you have a good day she JUST LOOKS AT ME! I would understand if she ignored me because it was busy BUT THERE WAS only 5 people in the store and THERE WAS THREE EMPLOYEES! If you don't enjoy your job don't TAKE IT OUT ON CUSTOMERS please and thank you! ALSO I didn't have a chance to get the girls name but she work on 7/2/19 (night shift) she was white with short hair. I hope the next time I come here the manger has talk to the employees or retrain then on how to treat customers. read more

T4 - Taro milk tea (left) &thai tea (right) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

Clean, modern, great service! Lots of snacks to choose from including protein options like basil popcorn chicken and fried tofu. On the way to Marina Park, my friend, her nephew, and I had a hankering for tea & snacks to enjoy. Downtown Hayward was kinda on the way and I found a newly opened T4. Bright white and inviting high ceiling establishment. Many customers filled the 4 tops on Saturday afternoon. The line moved quickly and our cashier was social as can be with a "can do"attitude. I ordered a honey peach royal tea with grass jelly (no milk drink this time to avoid irritating my throat). Definitely tasting the honey notes. I would've gotten a French pudding milk tea with grass jelly otherwise. Good portions for snacks! Similar to the Milpitas location, they don't add enough basil in the popcorn chicken. I only found two! Fried tofu texture is like agedashi, lightly coated and fried. Panda milk tea looks like regular milk tea with a mix of white and traditional boba. Plenty of parking across the street or in the garage behind the store. Grab a stamp card-- buy 9 get 1 free! read more

My friends and I came here, because there was no other dessert places around, but I love Boba anyway, so this was perfect. Not small or big place, just right. Lots of space/seating. They have the menu on the wall, so you can easily see what you want to order. Basically, it's just a random Boba place on B St. across from Bijou. read more

T4 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

Walking down B Street from my friend's house, I was surprised to see a T4. I told my friend about it and next thing you know we're there the next time I visited. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon and there was no line. We perused the menu on the wall and though I am used to iTea and other boba places, I still had no idea what I wanted. I ended up ordering the Okinawa Milk Tea with 30% ice. Since it is made with brown sugar, there is not a sweetness level to choose from. I highly enjoyed my tea and would order it again. My friend ordered an Elegant Rose Tea which also did not have a choice of topping or sweetness level. After having a sip, I enjoyed the aloe at the bottom but the drink itself was too sweet for either of us. My friend said she'd order my drink next time. The restaurant is clean. The condiments and napkin are above the trash can which is a little odd. There's board games available and we saw a few people playing them. The vibe was younger people between teens to 30s. read more

Parking is very difficult around the area. I'm lucky that I found a spot within 5 mins, but had to walk about 2 blocks. I ordered a large jasmine green tea with boba, it was around $5. I considered it very affordable compared to most milk tea shop out there. I had my drink in 75% sweet, and it came out just right. I can definitely taste the tea flavor *awesome* (some places outside will have no tea flavor whatsoever). The only downside is the boba itself. The boba is either overdone or has been sitting there the whole morning as it is not chewy anymore, but It's just my reference to have chewy boba. Not a big deal. Staffs are very friendly, and there's a plexi glass between the cashier and customer. Seats are not available at the moment due to covid. Will be back in the future if around the area. :) read more

Hot mess of a place. Boba added to drink drowning in honey. Crusty old hand written signs at register, bathroom, napkin rack,etc. Nice amount of seating available. Nice skylight. Nice selection of drinks Several teas in jars on display. Very good avacado smoothie. read more

I've only been here once, but it was a great experience. I ordered a rose milk tea with boba pearl and sea salt cream using their online ordering, and it turned out just right. It was ready for me when I arrived to pick it up. I would definitely come here again if I am ever in the area. read more

I keep forgetting this boba shop is located in downtown Hayward. I typically drive to Union City for my boba fix, but I need to make it a habit to visit this location more. It's located in downtown, so you'll need to find street parking or park on a garage nearby. I wish it was located in a plaza instead with better parking, but the location has great foot traffic once the pandemic is over. The prices are really good price, $3-4 for a regular drink, add 50 cents more for a large. Compared to crazy steep SF prices or some boba spots, I would say this is more on the affordable end. They do serve snacks here ranging from popcorn chicken to squid to egg puffs. We came here on a Saturday during lunch time and ordered the counter that had a glass separating you and the worker. We ordered earl grey milk tea with boba (large, low sweet/ice). wintermelon crema (large, low sweet/ice), and popcorn. There's no spice to the popcorn chicken but they provide self-serve chili seasoning and sauces for you to add. Total was around $17 incl tax, decent price for 3 items. Our order took awhile, roughly 15 min. The boba was perfectly cooked, not too hard nor soft. The drink wasn't too sweet and had the right blend of milk and tea. The popcorn chicken tastes pretty standard across all T4 location, so nothing out of the ordinary here. I do wish it came with more basil, we had only one piece. It came with decent portion, enough for two people to finish. Overall a decent boba spot in Hayward. read more

I never knew there was T4 in downtown hayward. Perfect place actually. It's next to the theatres. We ordered the classical rose milk tea, caramel tea, avocado smoothie with boba and popcorn chicken and sweet potato fries. It's clean. There's about 10 tables for seating! read more

Out of the hundreds of boba tea places in the Bay, this is one of them. Seriously though, this place is just fine. Don't bother driving past other boba shops to get here unless you have a specific reason, bit there's nothing wrong with it. I actually do have a specific reason. These guys are the only place in the area that I've found have egg puffs. I dont get egg puffs often, but when I'm in the mood for them, it's a great snack and I wish more places had them. We tried the brown sugar boba, strawberry smoothie, egg puffs, and basil popcorn chicken. No problems with anything. All tasty enough and no issues. read more

T4 - Basil chicken and egg puffs - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

Your standard T4, but located in downtown Hayward B St, so you get the busy young crowd. Their milk tea isn't bad and they have plenty of tables even when it gets pretty busy you can find yourself a spot. I like to order ahead and let them know I'll be there in 5 minutes. My drink is always ready by then. If I ordered any warm food like their minced pork over rice, it does take little longer as expected. Roberto, is wonderful - he's the welcoming and friendly cashier there. He recognizes my voice over the phone and remembers my usual. This is my go-to spot for convenient, close and good quality boba. I've never had over or undercooked Boba Pearls here. I wish they had an electronic system you could plug your phone number into to count towards points towards a free drink. Their system is still on stamps which I've lost out on free drinks since I don't like digging in my wallet or I just don't remember that I have a card. Overall, this is your value Boba spot in downtown Hayward! read more

They make the best popcorn chicken out of all the T4 I tasted. The texture, the taste, the juiciness of the chicken... consistently good. I always stop by when I'm in the area, or if crave it. Drinks are same as others, sugar plus water, results pretty similar. read more

I feel a little weird walking into this place and ~90% of the patrons are young enough to be my grandchildren. Oh well. The search for wonderful flavors & tastes knows no age boundaries! My unwavering drink of choice: A Large Matcha Latte w/small Boba, 30% ice.Rich, flavorful, frothy & creamy, and slightly sweet. Peete's has nothing on T4. I have tried making this several times at home to no avail. Just much easier to walk in, order it, and pay. Then enjoy. The T4 staff are wonderful. They are efficient, polite, and well mannered. They even announce my drink order w/it's exact specifications even before I arrive up to the front counter to order. Surprise b/c I come in maybe only 1x/month enjoy this guilty pleasure. THAT is customer service. Makes even OGs like me feel special! read more

T4 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

Passed by this place a couple times while vintage hunting in Downtown Hayward. My friend said that T4 has the best popcorn chicken in town, so last weekend we decided to try. We shared the okinawa milk tea with boba and (of course) popcorn chicken. The okinawa milk tea was good, I could taste and smell the tea flavor and I loved the tea fragrance. However, the popcorn chicken failed to meet my expectation. It was tasteless and not as crunchy as I would like it to be. It was definitely not the best popcorn chicken in town, I've had better in my lifetime. read more

I got the mango smoothie and my friend got the strawberry lemonade. We were super pleased without drinks, the gala or , texture of the smoothies and how much boba they gave us. Will go here again read more

3.5 rating but rounded up. i had to dock a star because of their customer service. i've been to T4 ever since it opened in my area, and over time i have witnessed its customer service go down. the person who took our order was the only person working (taking orders and making the drinks), so major props to him. but he seemed very indifferent and cold when taking my order. he didn't ask me for my sugar or ice levels, and i forgot to add in my own preferences, so the drinks were alright, but that is also partly my fault. we arrived at around 4pm and were the first in line out of the wave that came after us but got our order last... maybe the chicken just took a lot longer to make? i accidentally misheard the number that he called out, and he seemed a bit rude when i approached him. he said "no" very sternly and lowkey shoo'ed me away... which made this whole experience a bit off putting. :/ now for our order: - jasmine MT w/ grass jelly: (4/5) the grass jelly was a good consistency. the drink was very smooth overall, but was a bit watered down. - royal honey peach tea w/ boba: (4/5) boba was too squishy, but the flavor was good. there was a good balance of tea taste with a fruity twist, but you couldn't tell it was a peach tea. - basil popcorn chicken: (4.75/5) great flavor and very juicy chicken!! there were many pieces and they were large! this definitely satisfied my cravings, but just lacked a bit of basil flavor (however if you don't enjoy garlic, i would not recommend this for you). i was pleasantly pleased with their reasonable prices. i'll come back next time for a quick and cheaper drink if i want something lighter. read more

Finally a boba place in downtown Hayward, but soooo sad it's this. The service is great. The cashiers are friendly and willing to answer any questions. The drinks are okay, at best. When you ask for less sugar, there is very little consistency. I've gotten something with 80% sweetness and it's tasted less sweet than when I got it as 50% sweetness. It's a bummer. The popcorn chicken has an interesting taste. It doesn't taste like the popcorn chicken you usually get. It almost tastes sour. Weird. We will most likely continue to come back to this T4 location simply due to proximity to our house. The one drink that has been consistently good here is the Honey Peach Smoothie. read more

Taiwanese boba shop in downtown Hayward. They have a variety of drinks & snacks. For the drinks, you can customize the sweetness which I loved since I like mine on sweeter end. Taro: Good! Almond with Red Bean: I got standard sweetness & surprisingly, I thought it was too sweet! Original Egg Puffs: Okay. read more

If there's a zero star option, I Will put ZERO. The women who told my order today was SOOO Rude!!! read more

A MUST TRY: wintermelon with salted cream and Boba. I try and get a different drink every time I come here because they have so many options, and this was a great choice! Extremely flavorful and the employees are very mindful of your sweetness and ice level. They are not stingy with the Boba or any other toppings you'd like to add, I always get a big scoop full. read more

T4 - Wintermelon with salted cream, A lot of Boba added! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

SERVICE: Great! The crew is well informed re the products and friendly. TASTE: I had matcha latter with grass jelly , no ice and no sugar. Taste a little bit sweet still but overall taste is good. The matcha and milk ratio is perfect. Think the matcha latte and chicken popcorn of I-tea are better. PRICE and SERVING: okay price vis-a-vis the serving esp during happy hour. TIP: go during happy hours for flat rate regular drinks. Happy hour is usually one hour before the closing hours read more

T4 - Happy Hour!!!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

Bugs all over my tea! No fun! For real though, half the time I've ordered something here I've been disappointed or disgusted by what I bought. In a sea of milk tea stores, you can do better than a spot that can get shut down by the health department. All I can say is, if you do decide to order here, cut some of the employees some slack, it's a miserable environment. read more

T4 is the 4th Boba shop on A st. 5 if the one on mission didn't close a few months ago. this T4 is smaller, parking is difficult with the buffet, theatre. and many pubs around. this location is also understaffed, starting with the cashier tasked with taking orders and dispensing same. the similiar shirts wore by all the associates reminds me of ompa ompas in Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory. since no specials happening, i tried an appetitzer eats: fried crispy squid (4.5) -way too much batter, too much white pepper, use of cheap "chinese" hand sized squid chewy, no taste. 2.5 stars service slower due to understaffing: 2.5 stars news on net: "Devin Nunes was suppossed to probe collusion, instead, he's committing it" -committee chief openly cooperating with white house on investigation of the Trump campaign" Huff post 3/31. read more

REVIEWER # 5 T4! Congrats on your opening...but...I am so disappointed in you! I came during grand opening because I heard that all drinks were $2.00. I was happy to be able to see another boba spot in the neighborhood. However, that all changed when I actually walked in to the T4 and seen how chaotic it was! I know they just opened less than a week ago, so I will take that into consideration when writing this....Okay, let's go: PROS: -Walking in was like a kids playhouse! People everywhere! The word got out quickly! -There were good amounts of seating and I also enjoyed the board games that people had the option of playing as they enjoyed their drink. -Service was great! The staff were working there butts off making those drinks. -Menu is on the wall and is very easy to understand. They also have a visual on the different toppings that they offer! So many options! I love having choices! CONS: -The lines are so confusing! I walked in and was told that there were two separate lines. One line was to order and another to pick up your food. There should be footprints to guide customers because I was standing in line for 45 minutes and everyone was getting their food but me! -Speaking of 45 minutes, why is the wait so long!! OMG! I ordered one boba drink and some flour buns. Okay, literally...It took 45 minutes to get my drink and food and once I got the flour buns they were missing the condense milk that comes with it. The young guy at the counter said he would get me condensed milk ....and never returned! -The pickup line was so chaotic that people was angry and frustrated. I kind of felt bad because there were young teens that worked at the Cinemax and was coming to try out the place and had to take up their whole 15 minutes break to order and wait and had to leave without their boba. (Insert: emoji sad face). -They need a better pickup system. It was so disappointing to see drinks that were done being made and numbers were not even being called. The drinks and food just sit on the counter and the customers have to look for their food. Yikes! Feedback: Buy a mic and have one staff work on calling numbers out and freeing up some counter space so food is just not being left to get cold or snatched up! T4, I understand that you are still working out your kinks but I have to be honest and say, that it doesn't look like it was much planning for the grand opening and there are definitely some things that you can work out. read more

The hubs and I decided to check this place out to get something refreshing on a hot Memorial day. We ordered the Lychee Smoothie and the Watermelon Smoothie (which is currently their Summer special). Even though they call them smoothies, it's basically a slushie - fruit flavored blended ice. The Lychee was much sweeter than the Watermelon. The Watermelon tasted like they used real fresh watermelon. Both were delicious. It was very crowded and took more than 30 minutes for our 2 drinks. There was only one girl making the drinks. I think they need to hire more staff. They also offer a frequent visitor card. Buy 9 drinks and get the 10th for free! Make sure u ask for one if they don't offer it. I would definitely come back here to try their other offerings. Lots of people were ordering their popcorn chicken and fried tofu. A little boy at the table next to us commented that the chicken was too spicy for him. I like spice and can't wait to come back to try it! read more

Right now, T4 is having their soft opening now and their regular sized drinks are discounted (excluding toppings). I came here around 5:40 p.m. Inside, it was brightly lit, clean, and had plenty of seating (good for groups). They have a unisex single stall bathroom in the back, past the register. The bathroom was clean but has no mirror for some reason. I tried their classic rose milk tea which is one of their popular drinks indicated by the star symbol on the menu. You can adjust the level of sweetness and the amount of ice in your drink. You can also add toppings like boba or jelly. The drinks come in regular size (about 16 oz) and large. They also have hot snacks for you munch on (I saw someone order what looked like onion rings) if you like. My tea was made with 50% sweetness and 30% ice (because I don't like my drinks super cold and watery). My regular sized drink was under $3 which is a pretty good deal. The girl behind the counter was helpful and polite. The drink was made pretty quickly and they were already calling my number a couple minutes later. They had straws and to go drink sized bags on the counter. I took my drink to go. I was really impressed by how tasty the rose milk tea was! I can see why it is popular. I would definitely recommend it if you are a fan of anything rose flavored (like I am). I will come back for another one and maybe try out some of their other favorites. read more

Right next to a parking lot, this T4 is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Hayward. There are plenty of seats inside, but I would assume it gets crowded in the afternoon. I came not long after 11AM when they opened, and the store was pretty empty. I'm actually really glad a decent milk tea shop has opened in the heart of downtown. An excellent addition to the surrounding area. Service: 2 stars The cashier is a bit rude. Maybe it was too early in the morning, but better attitude will go a long way. Elegant Rose Tea's sugar level is fixed. I really like this drink because it's not only refreshing, but also very fragrant. read more

Came in at 1022pm, they close at 1100pm... got to the counter and put my order for 5 wintermelon tea... first thing young girl with blond hair at counter does is turn around to the dude making drinks wearing glasses with hair in small pony tail "there is a lot of drinks" he ask how much and she tells him 5... (its literally the same drinnks with no topping... ) so after i finish my order she turns to him and says "oh its not bad, its all the same thing" uhh really! Right in front of the customer???? Whatevas rude much?!? Teach ur workers some damn manners and proper customer service!!! 2 star cus i love the egg puffs and the drink was good!! read more

You can't go wrong with boba. If you want something to drink with you friends boba is the best. If you want to go on a simple date, a boba date is good and safe. There's nothing wrong. It's near by and I don't mind walking in the area. read more

Given that i've been to the T4 in San Leandro, San Ramon, i have to say this one definitely has the best service, quick, friendly, AND clean. I always order different drinks in a rotational order, (ex rose milk tea one week, matcha milk tea the next, etc) I don't think i've ever been disappointed in the drinks here, even when I order at 50% sweetness because I get what I order. Boba is always fresh/soft with a bit of chewiness. Their other toppings are also pretty good, like the grass jelly or pudding for those that don't like boba. Street parking can kind of be difficult around here, especially if you have a bigger car, but there's a parking garage nearby that you can park at for free! Downtown hayward looks like it's starting to come up, i'll probably be back to try other establishments as well as this one again. read more

Hayward FINALLY has a good boba tea spot. First off let me say that I'm not the biggest tea fan but T4 has a killer Thai Milk Tea. What I like about this tea place is that they freshly brew all of the teas to order and the teas don't have the powder taste that other tea places have. My girlfriend got the Earl Grey Milk tea and that was really good as well. When I ordered my Thai tea I ordered it regular on the sweetness scale and it good but it needed to be sweeter. I asked the staff if they can make it sweeter and without hesitation they fixed my drink with a smile. (I never had such amazing service like that at a tea place). The staff here is super friendly and always have a smile on there face. When you do order your drinks I highly recommend getting your drink extra sweet because sweeter is always better. What else is cool about this place is that they have a stamp card. After you buy 9 drinks your 10th is free. I love places like this. They also have board games and cards so you can chill and relax with friends and family. Great place to bring your friends and family. I can't wait for my next tea craving because I will definitely be coming here! read more

The food and drinks were on point but the service we received from the girl taking our order was not.

New T4 in the downtown Hayward area, so decided to check it out. Came here and didn't check what time they open, my mistake, should had check because they open later than all the other T4s in the area (they open at 12 on weekdays and the other T4s are open 11 daily). Didn't want to wait a hour so I decided to come back at night after work, came right before 9:30 and they locked their doors already but inside it was packed with people sitting down, so I'm just there trying to open the door while the workers ignored me and I looked up and saw the open sign turned off so I didn't bother anymore. I checked already before coming here and they said they close at 10, that's what I don't get, why close 30 minutes earlier with no sign or anyone to inform me as I'm trying to open the door? Especially since there's still customers dining inside which confuses me. Came back a second time, finally get to tried their drinks! Probably won't be back unless I'm in the area and craving for my usual order, Jasmine green tea, but most likely will head to my usual San Leandro T4. Drinks here in the Hayward location a bit more expensive and tastes watered down. Not sure how their green tea tastes now but I wasn't feeling brave to try it again just in case I end up not liking it again and tossing it. Sticking with the green tea topped with cream from this location instead of the green tea. At least staff is more friendly now. read more

The drinks we ordered were decent. Ordered some hot food, fried items are ok but not the noodle. Instead of noodle, they use udon. Being Chinese, never had or seen minced pork UDON, wrong country's noodle. The udon was over cooked, the texture was not tasty. Suggest trying other items, not the noodles. read more

I absolutely love this place. I compare other boba drinks to theirs. Their street food is just a good as the drinks. I'm not sure if the guy with semi long-ish hair and glasses still works there but he's always nice and makes sure the order is right. I've never had a wrong order from this place. The drink selection is the best in the area. I drive to hayward just for T4U. read more

I love this spot!!!! Open late and always friendly even within the last ten minutes of closing! Good milk tea and never disappoints.
