My man and I love this boba spot. I like that they have a kiosk for you to place your order & you can also customize it to your taste! They also have a bathroom at this location and it's very spacious and clean.It's my 3x coming here & their boba drinks never disappoint!! read more

I've heard rave things about Teaspoon so I had to check it out before I left the bay!! I very much enjoyed my White Crystal! It was a nice strong oolong tea with some subtle grape flavors. Loved how it wasn't too sweet with 50% sweetness and the crystal boba was very chewy. Overall very refreshing drink for me! Had a couple sips of their classic matcha latte - thought the matcha flavors were strong and the drink was well mixed. Also got to try the seasonal ruby fizz but it was wayy too sweet at 100%. It nevertheless had a nice guava juice taste and I liked the sparkling water/soda fizz. There were some seating outside but none inside. Drinks came out fast and the staff were generally pretty friendly. Would want to go back to check out their other drinks! read more

Hadn't been here for awhile since opening time. Bday man wanted the boba after Korean bbq dinner; therefore he decided to visit teaspoon. The place had become very popular especially among chabot college students and families. Lines could be long especially after classes and weekend. Never disappointed. Friendly counter person whom always smiled. I couldn't ask for the name and didn't notice the name tag. My family tried matcha, taro, and brown sugar. The wait time was not long. Matcha was good. I didn't get to try Taro and brown sugar. I also recalled that the Thai tea was good especially the hot hot summer day. They advertised new lemonade. I might have to pull up into the lot next time. Didn't want food coma when it was already almost eight on Sunday night. Never too many pics to share read more

I got the matcha royale with 75% sweetness, oat milk and brown sugar boba. I would have to give it a 6/10. It was more milk than matcha and maybe that's because I got too much sweetness but I could taste the oat milk more. Also I don't know if it's because I came in around 8pm, but the boba was not bobaing. Compared to other places, they were really small and look like they have been pressed on by something. A little disappointed by that but besides that service was good and cute ambiance. read more

Our drinks were DELISH! I usually don't go for fruity drinks but I highly recommend the strawberry piña colada and the mango fun time. Plenty of parking. There is no indoor seating but there are benches and tables outside. They also had little pastries which was nice. Highly recommend this boba spot and ill definitely be coming back read more

Teaspoon - Grasshopper for me - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

Walked in and wasn't greeted. Stood by the register while 3 people ignored me until I politely asked if they accepted cash. It was only then that my existence was acknowledged. That kind of thing sets a negative tone and ambiance. Eventually I got my order taken. Took a few minutes. Drinks were fine. Nothing to write home about. It's also boba. Rarely is it a "wow". It's just a craving. Here's the thing. I know that the majority of folks that are buying boba are quiet and awkward. Since moving to the Bay Area, I've noticed that's a thing. But train your staff to acknowledge the customer. Say hi. Train, train, train, train and train some more. Customer service 101. read more

I love the seasonal drinks the baristas make; it's not too sweet and not watered down. Every time I order in person, it only takes them less than 5 minutes to prepare two drinks if there isn't a long line. Since the location is small and no place to sit inside, the barista is willing to go outside to call your name when the drinks are ready. Tip: if you have a membership with them, you have to download their app to earn rewards for discounts read more

Such a cute spot and friendly staff! Although you order at the kiosk I was surprised when I heard everyone welcome me. Usually the places near me don't say anything at all! Their banter with one another was warm and inviting and their smiles contagious. I ordered a regular Milk Tea with 75% sugar which is my usual and it was good however I wish it were a little stronger but it still did my cravings justice. read more

I been meaning to check out some food/drink spots specifically in Hayward and saw Teaspoon! Its one of my fav boba store, so I was happy there's a location near campus :) The parking area is pretty spacious with surrounding restaurants to eat. Inside of the store is pretty small but clean. The staff there was really nice to offer a 10% discount since there're working on the app update to receive points. I wanted to try out their new line of fizzy drinks before they go away, so I got aqua berry fizz with lychee popping boba. I love the color and it tasted good. Highly recommend! I'll have to come back soon to try their ruby fizz! read more

I come here all the time, I thought I already gave my review! I will say 9/10 its EXACTLY how I want it but there have been a few times where my strawberry sangria isn't as sweet as I prefer but I often share with my partner and he likes it less sweet so it works out for him lol The service is great and pretty fast. I don't think I've ever waited longer than 10 minutes for my drink and the space itself has no seating but is nice and clean. read more

Truthfully, the presentation of the drinks and the cup itself is beautiful. That being said, the flavors are a bit lacking. Labor Day, sent some family to pick up some drinks. I attempted to call numerous times but they never picked up. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha w/ Boba. It was a very weird combination. Not the combined drinks but just the balance of it? So the drink itself was not sweet, it was actually not bad. The strawberry fruit blend was tart and full of flavor. I thought it would balance out the overall drink but it didn't. The boba was good though, chewy and nicely sweetened. Would love to try again, maybe I'll stick to my traditional Thai Tea w/ Boba drink. read more

Teaspoon - Strawberry Matcha with Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

I come to this Teaspoon pretty often whenever I'm around Hayward. The parking area is pretty good and I've had no problem. The place is quite small, but the workers are pretty fast when making drinks so people are in and out. There is a bench table outside so people can sit and wait for their drinks. Once you come in, you can either order from the kiosk tablet or with a worker. The drinks my friends and I love to get are the Strawberry Matcha Royale, Paradise Lime, Ladybug, and the Mango Funtime. The Mango Funtime is a hit, and tastes great! Reminds me of a mangonada, yum. Depending on who makes the drink, sometimes they can be a little heavy handed with the tajin and chamoy. If you love ube and need the caffeine, the dirty ube is a delicious drink as well. It gave me a great energy boost I needed when I was tired. You can create your own milk tea drinks too, and their I love their oolong. If I ever feel basic, I order the Creamy Jasmine with 75% sweetness. Overall, this place is a 5/5 for me. One of the best Teaspoon locations I've ever been to. Great service and good drinks. read more

Teaspoon - Mango on Fire - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

I've been here twice so far. My drinks were ready prior to the estimated time both times. It is a very small store right across from the new Denny's diner. When I visited yesterday, it was very packed, yet, they still managed to have my order ready by the time I checked in with one of the associates. I would suggest to enter the store and shimmy your way too the left side because they have a line designated to pick up orders. However, I did notice that I sometimes they don't bring them out to the table until you address one of the associates. I don't mind this practice because I've had my Starbucks drinks stolen when they just put out the to-go orders. I've tried a total of two different drinks and bought one for my son, all drinks were different. The first time I went I tried the black sugar Assam drink. The second time I tried the passion fruit drink with additional passion fruit dolphin boba. My son had a milk tea with added Oreo crumble. I think the cheapest drink I've seen is no less than five bucks and some change. You can easily make your drink more expensive by adding more toppings. If you're in the mood for a refresher from this heat, Drop by to pick up a milk tea or fruit tea. PS. If you order in the app you can get loyalty points and discounts on future drinks read more

Teaspoon - Black sugar assam milk tea with honey boba and coconut pudding - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

Love Teaspoon! So happy Hayward has a worthwhile boba shop. Not really a place to chill or anything, as the shop itself is pretty small and the only tables are outside, but a great place to get some drinks to-go. I try to utilize ordering ahead on their website, but if I can't, they make their drinks pretty quickly. I was about to order on the menu one time and it showed that some things were sold out, but when i got there they actually weren't. So it may not always be totally accurate? I also kinda wish they offered food/ snacks but that's probably how they're able to make the drinks fast. Everything I've tried has been good. I always keep an eye out for seasonal drinks they may add. My faves so far are strawberry matcha latte, dirty ube, grasshopper, and strawberry colada. Really depends what I'm in the mood for! read more

The girl at the register is friendly and very engaging. She spoke to every customer and gave lots of compliments. Popular boba shop with lines even at the oddest of hours. I ordered the Grasshopper with less sugar and Taro Lovers. Grasshopper was a refreshing beverage with green tea, lychee and cucumber puree. Taro lovers had little chunks of taro, which made it more of a tiny desert meal than a drink. Both were very very good. read more

Teaspoon - Grasshopper - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, California

This spot is dangerous for my wallet as it is only 5min away from home - also dangerous because their drinks are pricier to begin with! I like that their interior is bright, clean, and decorated during holidays! The staff are always friendly when I pop in to pick up my orders. Definitely order online before heading over as they are always busy. Despite how great their business always is, I've always had my drinks ready for pickup by their quoted time; drinks are consistent in quality as well. I love that they're open (fairly) late and have a small parking lot that they share with other establishments. They do have 2 small tables outside for you to chill with your friends, but I wouldn't recommend doing so in the Fall/Winter. If you're looking for a solid boba spot in Hayward, I'd recommend giving this Teaspoon location a shot. read more

How did I know find out that there's a Teaspoon in Hayward any sooner?! I love Teaspoon and have been to their San Jose and Davis locations. I got the Mango on Fire smoothie and the guava sunset for my boyfriend. I loved my smoothie and it's basically like a mangonada. Only thing that it's missing is a tamarind straw. This location sells an assortment macarons as well as some merchandise. Workers are friendly, and the location is right across from Chabot College. Super convienent for students who want to grab boba after class. read more

Excited to see a Teaspoon open up closer to me, we decided to take advantage of their BOGO Grand Opening special to try a bunch of drinks we haven't had before.  Silky mango, taro, pink panther and flamingo and we got to Enjoy Life One Teaspoon at a Time for two days. I liked the watermelon aspect of the flamingo but not a fan of passion fruit seeds so only had a sip of this one.  The pink panther is a better choice for me if I have a watermelon craving.  However, unintentionally my two picks were both creamy options, with the Silky Mango and Taro so more dessert-like than a thirst quencher which my go-to is always the Grasshopper. Since the Silky Mango is sweet enough, I would get it without the boba next time and the Taro was creamy enough to still be good the next day. Friendly smiling staff even during a super busy Grand Opening makes this a winner in my book. read more

Have I been to over 10 Teaspoons in the Bay Area? YES. Why? Because Teaspoon never disappoints me. It always gives me the best boba balls (perfect honey flavor, sweetness, and marshmallow-like bouncy texture) and the drinks are consistently bringing me the fresh tea flavors & lactose-free creaminess that I need from a boba drink. Been a fan of this location since their summer 2021 grand opening when I got my go-to drink, the Grasshopper (I recommend less sweet and adding their lychee jelly topping) and came back today for their seasonal Pumpkin King, the tea adjacent of a Pumpkin Spice Latte (Roasted Oolong tea with pumpkin spice cream topped with gingerbread-like Biscoff cookie pieces; I recommend less sweet, as it's still quite sweet). The only con I have with Teaspoon is that their prices keep going up but alas, this is the fate of all boba shops (it's $0.70 to add toppings now). Also love that this location is in a small suburban plaza with ample parking. read more

This was my first time trying Teaspoon and I had a great experience. I forgot to take a picture but I ordered a "Silky Mango". The drink itself was super delicious. A little too sweet for my taste but tolerable. The staff was very friendly :) I was able to place my order in person within 2 minutes of entering the place. About 5 people were waiting for their orders but they were very fast to take the orders and make the drinks. There is only one restroom and it was very clean. Parking is easy. There are plenty of spots available. I will be coming back to try other drinks! Impression: RECOMMENDED! read more

Visited the newest location a week after their grand opening. I thought they'd be super busy so I ordered online via app for pick up. Notification said 20 min prep but my drinks were made in 4 minutes! Whoa, so fast! Lots of parking in the shared lot. Y'all, please be courteous to other drivers and do your part to share the road. Teaspoon has always been a family go to spot for boba and this location is extremely convenient. No more boba runs to Milpitas unless we order Layang Layang (amazing Malaysian cuisine! Ask for Jenny btw). I love watermelon and already tried the Flamingo (fresh watermelon & Passionfruit juices) and was excited for Pink Panther *blended watermelon slush with lemon yogurt mousse! 'Twas most refreshing with a creamy sweet n tart mix of flavors due to the vibrant mousse. No sugar adjustments on this one and no complaints because it wasn't that sweet, for which I'm thankful for. I'm a 0-25% sugar kind of person for boba, despite my love for sweets. Customer service was excellent! I think it was Noemi? that helped me out with the pick up order. There's a line for ordering but also a pick up order table inside on the left. Staff was all smiles and good vibes. While boba pricing steadily increases, quality remained high as well. I ordered rooibos herbal milk teas for home and everyone was happy with the honey boba & crystal boba amount (each topping is 70 cents now). Stop by to get yo boba fix and take each sip with a smile. read more

Finally, finally, finally! A location of the humbly most sought after boba chain has made its debut on this side of the East Bay! They have been making noise in the South Bay and the Peninsula during the last 6 years, and I have been following them all along - since I've always seemed to pick up their beverages whenever I was either in San Mateo, or Milpitas - as I fondly recall to be a 'regular' patron at those locations. Historically, they started up as a local boba café shop in Los Altos by Amy Lai and David Fan. They serve high quality tea and shaved snow products, as well as value a high standard of customer service - and further expanded across the South Bay and Peninsula regions! During the last couple of years, they had opened up the former lone location in the inner East Bay region in San Ramon, and finally, landed a convenient spot in Hayward, along the hustle & bustle of Hesperian Boulevard, and a stone's throw away from Chabot College. They are expanding all over Northern California, so it's good to know that they are a vibrant and thriving business that specializes in handcrafted beverages made with the highest quality products at reasonable prices that ya'll can easily afford! This location does not offer indoor seating, however, there are benches and tables right outside, along with 2 eatery-type businesses that share the strip complex. Parking is plentiful, and it's easily convenient off the 880 & 92 freeways - and it's the best way to beat the traffic, by stopping by for a quick refreshment, that'll surely keep your eyes on the road!! Their menu is extensively simple, and the best part is that you can customize your preferences in most of their drinks! How cool is that?! *clap, clap, clap!! Highly recommend to get your boba fix here whenever you find yourselves in the heart of the Bay - and that is Hayward! read more

This Teaspoon is in a small plaza with limited parking. I feel like recently there has been new employees and they are not as friendly as the ones from before. I usually just do a phone order for a quick in and out visit and they are usually pretty quick to get my order within 5-8 minutes usually. I usually get my usual, which is the Creamy Jasmine with boba. I feel like my drink is not always consistent when I come and it depends who makes my drink. The boba is sometimes a bit on the harder side as well. read more

Great variety and nice menu. I recently ordered a Flamingo. this has passion fruit seeds at the bottom, and a bit of tartness and sweetness from the watermelon. A great contrast and great drink. I also tried the Pink Panther and was surprised by the lemon mousse contrasted by the watermelon juice. Again a tart and sweet combo. Which brings me to my third drink, which I have ordered in the past is the Lady bug, which is jade tea with passion fruit and kumquat juice. I guess I like the sweet and tart combos. If you want something creamy, try the Silky Mango. Richness of the crème and sweetness from the mango, a win win. Order was quick, they were working very fast to get drinks out, but well worth the wait. Parking is easy in the attached lot and there was a lot of foot traffic from other venus, but a lot of turn over in the parking lot. Have more boba if your life! read more

As a local, I'm very happy that Teaspoon opened up in the area! They have a good variety of drinks on their menu. At this location, I've tried the lady bug, taro lover, flamingo, pink panther, Assam black milk tea with boba, toffee black milk tea with brown sugar agar... and probably more, but now I'm getting embarrassed about how often I've come here since it opened lol. My favorites were the lady bug and flamingo. I personally prefer their fruit teas over the milk teas. Toffee black milk tea wasn't really my jam but it I wanted to get out of my comfort zone (and they had BOGO!). All in all, great addition to the neighborhood and it's the best boba spot in Hayward. Note that most drinks are at least 5.25 without toppings. Some of their fancy drinks are ~6 bucks. Toppings are an additional .70 cents (a few drinks include boba). Personally I think that's pricey compared to other spots that charge .50 cents for toppings, but I will say they have a huge variety of toppings to pick from. Lines have been very long due to BOGO, but I expect them to go back to normal now. Glad they've expanded their hours now! read more

Some drinks are a bit overpriced I like the to go bottles and carrier options. They put lots of ice in the carrier boxes so it can be deceiving how much is actually in there.

Teaspoon takes over the old Quickly location in Hayward. I learned that this place was having its Soft Opening today. I decided to try it out. There were a few people waiting outside for their orders, so I was able to go inside and place my order. The staff were friendly and attentive as they took my order. After placing my order, I waited outside for my name to be called. They were observing social distancing and face masking. Soon my drink was ready. It was refreshing and tasty. I'll be back again. read more

Teaspoon for their soft opening week was so juicy. Theyre really sweet and the drinks didnt take longer than 5 minutes. The tea tasted pretty high quality and I would rate it higher than the regular quickly and T4 and a little higher than itea, but near or slightly below happy lemon depending on how many more. I got the Creamy Jasmine and my bf got the Liquid Gold both juicy, squeaking, farting, leaking, gucci with flavor. Cant wait to suck lick flick slurp tongue with all the toppings.

This place gets busy depending on the day and time. We usually call or order online and they always have it ready when we arrive. Private making lot shared with Dennys. They have outside tables as well. It's a small store where the register is right at the front door so I'm busy nights it can get super crowded when paper are ordering and waiting for their orders at the same time. Our go to is the house milk tea, Thai tea and lychee on lychee. I love their boba here it's always consistent, soft and chewy and sweet. This is our go to spot when we are in the area. read more

I love teaspoon drinks but customer service is frustrating at times. When we ordered no one told us they had run out of boba. They asked if we wanted to substitute boba with something else. We proceed to ask for a partial refund and changed our order. Within a minute they told the next customer it would only be 5mins for boba. Just poor communication in such a small space where customers can see and hear miscommunications happening. read more

My neighborhood Teaspoon never lets me down! My fiance and I frequent this teaspoon so much he actually got a gift card for here from my sister for Christmas lol. Our addiction started when he learned about their strawberry colada (pretty much a lava flow with strawberry, pineapple, and coconut). No other boba shop has a drink that can compare. I usually stick with my black sugar assam but I also love when they have new seasonal flavors! It does tend to get busy on weekend evenings but the staff moves quickly. You can also place an order for pick up through the usual delivery services (doordash, etc) if you don't want to wait in line. Sign up for their rewards program - it's free and you can rack up enough points for a free drink, free straws, or even a free tumbler. read more

To my fellow boba lovers, this is not another one of those disappointments. Teaspoon is a chain boba shop that was started in the Bay Area and is now found in twenty communities. Fun fact. Cashier was super friendly and upbeat, boba maker colleague super alert and actively listening as we were placing our order. Three drinks were out in five minutes tops. Boba was noticeably warm and fresh in contrast with the cold liquid. Ordered Liquid Gold, Mango Matcha Royale, and Mango Funtime. Liquid Gold was my fave out of the three--it's a honey oolong tea infused with cream. On their website, they indicate that they've partnered with a local tea roaster to roast the oolong leaves. Gotta love local b2b. I'd probably get the other two less sweet if I were to order 'em next time around. Looking forward to trying their Mango On Fire (has chamoy and tajin!!!), Taro Lover (with slow cooked taro), and their other offerings! Be sure to enter your phone number to accumulate points. You can use those points to save up for a free house milk tea, free drink, free metal straw set, and the list continues. How enticing:) I admire their eco-conscious approach with the bamboo straws and glass bottles available for purchase. Do wish they didn't put our drinks in a plastic bag though. Not a super big deal tho. Hehe. read more
