    This oldie but goodie relocated from Marina Grocery / 168 Market at Warm Springs Fremont. It was the first boba shop that served their milk tea using fresh tea leaves before it became popular. Tea Island has always been the affordable and steady boba shop for me. While other stores are charging at least $7 per beverage, Tea Island stays budget friendly. This location is nestled inside Ranch 99. Grab and go, not a place to hang out or get work done.

    I saw this newer spot on Yelp and decided to give it a try! I knew from other reviews it's located inside the 99 Ranch so that was helpful to know before-hand as it might have been a bit tricky to find otherwise. The stall itself is a bit barren and looks like they could still be moving in fully, but it was clean and works for the purpose so practicality-wise it was perfect. There was just one person working, I assume the owner, but it wasn't busy so it worked out fine and she was very nice, recommended drinks when I asked and was efficient making them. The drinks themselves were good, a nice clean and true flavor. The boba/tapioca pearls were not bad but not amazing. I will definitely come back though if I want simple, clean milk tea flavors!

    My favorite boba place that I drive to Pleasanton for! It used to be in the Marina/168 Market in Fremont, but reopened in Pleasanton. I've been going to Tea Island since I was a kid. Yue is the nicest and super fast at making all drinks. She brews actual tea leaves for the milk tea. which gives it an authentic tea flavor. My favorites are the Jasmine Milk Tea and Lychee Green Tea. Tea Island is a grab and go boba shop located in 99 Ranch. It's in the corner near the bakery. She takes Venmo/Cash. Highly recommend stopping here for a quick refresher! :)

    Again this is the best boba place ever. I've been coming here for over 14+ years. I've had boba from my homeland Taiwan, and I can say without a doubt this is better if not the best boba and tea I've ever had. Yue is the best! Keep in mind it's only her working so if she's on break just ring her or come back in a couple of minutes because obviously some people are on a break if they aren't there. She is amazing, best service ever. I recommend getting jasmine milk tea or peach oolong milk tea or any of the fruit teas, 50-75% sugar is actually not that sweet (I get 25-30% usually all other boba places) and no where can compare to the authentic tea she makes and she makes the boba everyday!

    They moved to pleasonton ranch 99!!! Still the same great quality and taste, and same owner as well. I'm so glad she opened back up again, tea island was the go to boba place in Fremont that was affordable and delicious

    Fresh tea menu

    Uses FRESH tea leaves per tea order and does not have that stringent taste. Love this place because it's fresh and I can taste the tea. This is the place I compare all other tea places to and I try milk tea in every city/country I visit (if possible). Fresh tea drinks for $5.25 (without boba). Yes, this is the place that used to be in Fremont. This is inside the Ranch99 bldg. I used to go to this place when it was in Fremont, the service is excellent, she's fast and has never messed up my drinks no matter how busy it is.

    Lychee green tea with lychee jelly and Boba
    C T.

    The drinks here are great and pretty cheap for such an large drink. the staff made the drinks super fast, too!

    This boba shop caught our attention because its so convenient in 99 Ranch AND the prices are great! We did some shopping, had dinner then came back for our boba fix. The service was quick, the drinks were really good and you can't beat the prices. We had a variety from a frapucccino icy drink, warm tea with boba, taro and lychee. They were all good sized and so yummy. We will definitely be back to this gem!

    Wow, what a hidden gem, within the 99 Ranch Market. My oolong tea was fantastic. Prices are the lowest you will find anywhere in the Bay

    Finally got to have a boba drink after passing my glucose tolerance test!…read more Decided to come here since being pregnant means avoiding caffeine. They have a coco series that's really good. Normally I'm used to seeing mango coconut. But this place had banana coconut and it was delicious. You could taste both banana and the coconut. The sago is cooked perfectly and same with the boba. The sweetness was perfect to my liking too! My only suggestion would be to use more ripe bananas since some banana pieces were clearly not ripe ones. Service wise, they work pretty quickly so my husband and I didn't have to wait long. All in all, probably coming back here given the chance.

    Came to Honi Bear today for the first time. It was a Sunday, so it was a little busy. I ordered…read moreEarl Grey milk tea. Service was very slow. Probably waited 10 minutes. Seemed like there was only one person working. I was disappointed that there was hardly any human interaction. When you walk into the store nobody's greeting you and I had questions and nobody was there to answer them. What happened to customer service these days? Wow I'm from Orange County and customer service is Incredible there, but have found in the Pleasanton and Dublin, customer satisfaction doesn't seem to be important. That's really sad. My Earl Grey milk tea tasted nothing like Earl Grey and tasted just like a black oolong tea. Pretty disappointed, so I won't be returning.

    Still one of my favorite places to get boba…read more Staff was always so friendly and helpful. Even I felt like I asked the same questions about size and boba everytime. :P The mango drink was the best I have tried in the Bay Area thus far. The taro drink was a pretty close 2nd. Ambiance is very nice. Few spots to sit at but always full, lively, crowded and fun. Saw lots of different groups of customers here. Definitely a favorite spot for a lot of people. I will come again.

    7-8 workers here but really only one working. The rest just socializing and messing around. You…read morecould tell the one worker was super annoyed. We came here and ordered 4 drinks with no line in front of us. Maybe online orders delayed the entire process but it took forever to get our drinks. The place is small and smelled like cleaning chemicals mixed with tea smells. No real seating and no bathroom to use. The storefront is small and inside even smaller and narrow. The quality of the Matcha is super low quality and very bitter. While most places premix their matcha, the matcha here tasted gross and very bitter. Tasted old. The ones who ordered the matcha drinks didn't even finish half the drink before they tossed it. Such a waste for an expensive drink. Compared to boba guys, this place isn't even in the same universe. Everything seems low quality and the prices are just as or more expensive in comparison. We went here because it was closer to the event we were attending but live and learn, the drive to bishop would have been worth it. And lastly they don't modify any of their drink orders such as less or more ice... or even sweeter less sweet. This is not the norm with how many other shops have options to customize drinks to order. With how poor quality and balanced the drinks were, they may benefit from some adjustments. Long story short = low quality not worth the price. Will not return and will stick with the tried and true staple in the area Boba Guys

    This is the only Junbi location I've visited twice for their limited-edition BT21 and Snoopy…read moremerchandise. I just like how easy the parking is compared to other locations in the Bay Area. The staff was welcoming every time I opened the door. They were kind enough to tell me which seasonal drinks I could adjust to oat milk, and the rest you can adjust the sweetness and add toppings for an extra charge. I tried their Snoopy Chocolate Hazelnut Matcha Latte with oat milk, less sweetness, and less ice. There was a strong Nutella flavor with good consistency, but the matcha wasn't strong enough for me when I didn't mix it. I even got myself a Snoopy matcha plush keychain as my birthday gift for $18, which is pricey but durable enough to hang on your bag. It's a pretty small shop, yet it's covered in cute and colorful decor. Plus, the tables are clean since most customers usually wait for their drinks and leave rather than sit down.

    Went Junbi only because of Snoopy. Ordered Chocolate…read moreHazelnut Matcha Latte. It was ok. Even though it's normal sweetness, I feel it's not sweet enough. If you get the same drink, Please remember to stir well before drink. Otherwise, chocolate hazelnut syrup is a bit strong. BTW, I order it because i saw this drink is Snoopy design. But when i get through drink, they still give Charlie Brown. Maybe they gave out of random.

They have limited drink options compared to bigger brick and mortar Ume Tea stores. However, their drinks seem more "quality" compared to their larger counterparts. I always get their Creme Brulee Thai tea from this store. The two workers make it well; especially the male worker. He used to be at the San Ramon store; but, he transferred to this store. The choices are that you either drive thru or order at the window. Now if they'd just include more drink options and a couple of food options; I'd be happy!

    Thought a drive through boba shop was genius until I just tried it and it was a complete failure…read more You drive up one window on the side of the building and place your order by QR scan or person. Then you drive around to the other side of the building and wait for your order but then you have some dumbass honking at you cuz his order is ready before yours. Why he couldn't back up I don't know so then I have to go move and park my car and wait for my order so this was a complete failure of execution and business planning mixed with stupid drivers. Won't be coming back to this non convenience ever again. Ok now I feel bad and changed it from one star to 3 stars. The drink I got was actually pretty good - Coco Mango This was my first time here and the process was not smooth and probably faults of many parties. I might be willing to try it again but now reading the San Ramon location is better maybe I'll try that one next time. Maybe the drive through situation wasn't for me.
