Charming little place in downtown! I grew up in SL and moved away for college. Generally, all I knew of boba was tapioca express and quicklys back then, so it's definitely been some time since I've been back! Naturally when I visited home, I was looking for boba and this place appeared. As expected, the parking isn't the greatest since it's in downtown afterall. But I found my satisfaction of NorCal boba drinks, I'll certainly be back when I'm in town again for the holidays, thankful they were opened around the holidays as well! read more

Tea O’clock - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

Tiny and cute bubble tea shop on East 14th! It's very easy to miss and walk past here. My friend and I stopped by here one afternoon before we headed off to the library, where she was doing an author signing. It was a fun bubble tea run! read more

Tea O’clock - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

Small, unassuming shop off of E-14 street! There isn't any seating, but there are two photo ops along the wall and front of the store. Their menu is pretty small, but it looks like there are more choices on their kiosk than on the paper menu. There is tons of parking nearby on the street too. The cashier was very helpful with explaining the menu items & recommending suggestions on what drinks to get! I ordered the Strawberry Sago with boba which was rich and creamy + came with sago + white boba. The honey boba was nice and chewy also. I honestly really liked the drink & would love to come back to order it again or try other items off the menu :) read more

Super cute boba shop in downtown San Leandro! Was in the area with some friends and decided to a sweet treat after lunch around 5:45 pm on a Friday evening! It's a small shop with a couch for a waiting area, but no tables or seating for a stay. It was busy since there were a few orders ahead of us and it was only one person working that shift. I ordered their mango peach green tea with lychee jelly and 25% sweet. Took about 10-15 minutes to get my order, and the bobarista was so nice and gave us a free sample to try of their curry flavored fish ball. Great sweet treat and experience! read more

Who knew the East Bay would finally be getting a good boba place that's not a chain? Being in the area and starting to get tired of the same boba places, this cute little shop popped up on my radar of boba shops. I also automatically assume that a boba shop with Chinese translations next to it is more reliable than shops that aren't. Parking is relatively convenient if you park across the street in the Safeway parking lot. Although the shop is small, it is very well lit and decorated. You order on a tablet, and the prices came at in at a little more premium than what is typically offered in the area. The price you get is the price you pay! I ordered a Strawberry Sago since I've never had it before, and the drink was so good. It was a perfect blend of strawberries in a smoothie with a good, distinct tea flavor. The cheese cream was also well mixed into the drink, and reminded a little of a boba shop in SoCal I used to love. The agar pearls, which I usually hate due to their lack of flavor, were really sweet and had a good chew and bounce to it. I honestly think this place makes me actually want to eat the agar pearls. There were also smaller pearls you'd find in a mango sago. The entire drink wasn't too sweet. The best part is that strawberries never seem to be out of season so I don't have to wait half a year for it to appear. Service was fast and friendly. Being in downtown San Leandro, they tend to close pretty early. But hey, if a boba shop is able to open on a 6 hour schedule, it must be really good! I can't wait to be back to try their other drinks. read more

Tea O’clock - Strawberry sago - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

This is the boba place I've been searching for in the Dro. It has fun signature drinks and has a strong tea flavor in all of their drinks. It's still a pretty sweet drink but my friends and I opt for 25% to 50% sweetness to help out there and it comes out so good. My favorite drink is the dark roasted oolong milk tea at 25% sweet. It's perfectly creamy and has a strong roasted flavor!! The space is pretty small and mainly for picking up drinks - but the service is always so kind and friendly when I walk in. I'm excited to try more of their drinks! Glad we have this place in the Dro~ read more

Tea O’clock - Mango passion fruit w/ lychee jelly and dark roasted oolong milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

I was in the area on a hot stuffy day and really needed a refreshing boba pick me up before hopping back on the freeway. Came across this newish boba joint across the street from a crowded shopping center and decided to give it a try. There was only one person working that afternoon but she was super friendly and ready to offer recommendations should the undecided customer make their way in. I gravitated towards my usual fruit tea and the drink tasted refreshing as I took it with me on the road. There's a small seating area inside but this is more of a grab and go kind of place, even though the interiors are nicely decorated. I appreciated that my drink wasn't too sweet and a decent size. I'll have to come back to try more of the menu to really assess, but my experience so far was promising. read more

Picturesque boba store with decor ready for your insta! Good drinks, nice service, and easy parking in the private lot behind the store, this was a good find that will satisfy your cravings from some well made boba. My wife ordered one of the mango green teas and I ordered the mango sago with coconut milk. Both were made well and customized to how we like them. I would visit again if I was in the neighborhood. read more

At this age, no more shot o clock. It's tea o clock only. .:: Drinks ::. Strawberry Sago $7.50: not the typical mango sago. Very refreshing. Seems like they use fresh fruit to blend. I actually LOVE strawberry so this was pretty good to me. Signature Mixed Fruit Tea $7: my friend got this drink and liked it. .:: Service / Ambiance / Parking ::. The cashier was super nice and friendly. Our drinks took a little time to make but it was just the cashier and she was making 2 drinks so totally understandable but it just shows how drinks are made to order. The place was very well decorated. Grass wall with flowers on the side. no seating area though, just one couch by the window. Parking was a bit meek, but there was a parking lot behind. read more

Rock Sugar Pear Tea was soooo refreshing! Not too much tea flavor, but it tasted similar to Asian Pear juice cans you'd buy at the Korean markets. Pretty natural tasting, but sweet! I enjoyed this drink, and it was a tasty pick-me-up after a dinner in Downtown San Leandro. read more

This place took over for Honey U. It doesn't seem like they changed much maybe the backdrop but the still have photos of Honey U inside the store. I loved Honey U so I was hoping that this place was going to be as good because I love supporting small businesses and non-chain businesses. And we don't have good boba places in the area. My go to is always a large Jasmine milk tea(x2) No ice 75% sugar. And a Thai tea full sugar less ice w crystal boba and grass jelly. Toppings are $0.75 each and our total was $24! I was extremely disappointed in my Jasmine milk tea as jt was so watered down!!!! I wanted to go back inside and let the lady know but I felt bad bc she was so nice. I didn't taste any tea! However the boba was good. But not enough for me to go back. There's only one person working and there was a group of 4 before us so there was a wait. There is only one bench which the group of guys took over so we just had to stand. The store is small so there's not many places you can really stand and wait. Parking always sucks here and you have to pay meter. I think there's a back parking lot too but I haven't tried it. Drinks are all premade. The lady that was working said they are closing in January to revamp the menu and maybe considering a stamp card or a loyalty card or some sort. I hope they also consider improving their drinks especially the Jasmine milk tea! I'll try to go again after the New Year, unfortunately it's a no for me for now. read more

Found this place via yelp as I was going to church with my children. Small place, but very cute decor, nice and clean as well. There's a bench seat near the front window where we sat waiting for our drinks. Customer service was amazing! The lady was very kind and sweet. She was very helpful to me since it was our first time there. The drink was delicious! My daughter almost drank all of it so next time, I gotta order two! Thank you! read more

This place opened recently and is really cute inside, but small. The person that took our order was very nice and gave us a complimentary nougat snack that was delicious. High mountain milk tea with boba: you could taste the authenticity of the tea and the boba had a good chew to it. Matcha tea latte with boba: I don't think the matcha powder was whisked or mixed correctly because this was very bitter and chalky. It got less bitter as I continued to drink but it was still very chalky. I don't recommend this. Overall would rate this place a 3.5. The worker was very nice, one of the drinks was good, but the matcha was not good and it took a long time to get our drinks and I think we were the only ones waiting. read more

Cute little semi-decorative store where you can order on the iPad kiosk where physical menus are also available. Upon arrival the lady was very welcoming and she complimented my jacket! After receiving our drinks, my partner felt his drink needed more sugar so she added sweetener syrup to his "Super Orange Green tea" and that was perfect for him. I ordered the popular Strawberry sago drink. She even realized later and apologized, gave a refund for our anticipated curry fish balls. Apparently they only serve curry fish balls, spam masubi, and creme brûlée on Saturdays. She informed us she'll let the management know that it's not stated on the menu. I also asked her about nail salons around, and she was very resourceful. We will be back next time to try other items! read more

Super cute boba shop that recently opened in San Leandro! Come here and give this place a visit before you go to other boba shops in the area please! My friend and I were searching for a boba spot and we decided to give this place a try. First time walking in, the store is really small and there isn't really seating for you to sit and chit chat so I recommend taking a walk downtown after you get your drink. The cashier and bobarista hospitality was A+++. She checked in on us to see if we had any questions and we definitely had a lot of questions! After listening to her suggestion, I ended up deciding to try the Rock Sugar pear tea as you don't see a lot of boba shops have this tea flavor. I got it 75% sweetness and paired it with aloe jelly and it was so refreshing! I will definitely be back to try new drinks! read more

I got Peach Oolong MT with pudding and it's very good!! You can really taste the tea which I love (and sadly is hard to find these days). The decor is nice and great for photos. The lady very kindly helped me break up by pudding into smaller pieces for easier drinking too :))) Will def come again! Only small complain is that the lid doesn't fit the cup perfectly so it spills a little bit when I jostle it. read more

Once of the better tea spots in San Leandro. We've tried rock sugar pear tea, golden pineapple lime green tea, double green tea (green grape) and dark roast oolong milk tea. The fruit teas are better, but I was disappointed with the double green tea because it tasted more like a citrus tea, no grape flavor at all. The rock sugar pear tea was refreshing, but also had a floral taste to it. The milk tea was ok, it had more of a milky/creamer taste to it, although the tea was there. Service was very nice, it's a small spot so no seating except for some nice decor and a small bench inside. Not sure I'll be back since I'm not in this specific area much, but their fruit teas are the way to go since they use fresh fruit. read more

Tea O'clock has taken over Honey U. It is in the downtown San Leandro area and parking is either street parking or the parking lot behind the building. It looks similar as the other spot, but less seating now. The employee (maybe owner) was friendly and welcoming, hence the 3 stars instead of the 2 stars). I tried their jasmine milk tea with boba and jasmine green tea with cream. The drinks has more of a bitterness to it than creaminess, and it has this weird aftertaste to it (maybe from the boba?). Maybe I would have to come back to try one of their fruit teas or smoothies instead. read more

Found this place via Yelps and love it!! Easy parking on the back side of the shop is really convenient for the downtown area. The shop is tiny but nice decorative space. The service was friendly and quick. Also, the drinks were refreshing and reasonable price. Recommended!! read more

First! I don't think I've ever been the first to review a business before. This is kind of exciting. When you walk in you notice how cute the decorations are, especially the faux plant wall. The owner was behind the counter and offered me drink recommendations. (She said she'd only been open for a week.) I went with the mango peach green tea with lychee jelly 25% sweet with regular ice. I also got the signature fruit tea for my boyfriend. There's a small loveseat in the window where my friend and I were able to chitchat for a little bit. Parking was easy right in E. 14. I'll definitely be back. read more

We ordered the high mountain milk tea and strawberry sago(?) (honestly can't remember the name) but according to my gf the strawberry fruit drink was "bomb dot com". The server was very nice, and answered questions about what type of tea "high mountain" was. She said it was hard to get so they may not have it later on, but I can say it was really yummy! Tea flavor was on-point. We got a little lost looking for it (probably our fault), but Google Maps says it's on the backside of the building. It's not, it's on the front street side, small entrance so we missed it. Decor was cute, got a little comfy couch to sit on while you wait, but it's small otherwise. Would come again! read more

I was craving some boba and my husband found this new boba shop on Yelp and we decided to give it a try! The location was a little hard to find. Google maps took him to the street before, as a heads up! There's a parking lot in the back and it is located right next to Dough Zone. The shop was small and more of a to go kind of boba shop. Only one small sofa to sit on inside. Customer service was good! He was the only person in the shop and he received our drinks less than 10 mins after ordering. We ordered a Peach Oolong Milk Tea with boba, Mango Passionfruit Green Tea with boba, and a Rock Sugar Pear Tea. My favorite was the Mango Passionfruit Green Tea - sweet and refreshing though I think I would have enjoyed it more if I requested less sweet. My husband's favorite was also the Mango Passionfruit drink! Limited menu compared to other boba shops and only one size for the drinks! Definitely would come visit again in the future! read more
