    Strawberry milk tea with strawberry fruit jelly
    Sydney J.

    I decided to give The Mix a try as one of the new boba shops in Oakland, and ordered the strawberry milk tea, no ice, 25% sweet, with free topping of strawberry jelly. At 25%, it's still mildly sweet and I appreciate the amount of strawberry flavor. I do wish the tea was still slightly stronger but it's not overpowered by milk, thankfully. The drink size is quite large by default. The jelly also added sweetness. Overall I thought it was decent, but unfortunately the drinks are quite expensive.

    Delicious boba teas

    The Mix is the newest boba kid on the Grand block and we are BLESSED. I've been here two or three times already, with friends, and one as a bulk order for my colleagues (who all loved their drinks)! They aren't doing their soft opening BOGO deals anymore, but you should def stop by if you love boba or want some refreshing drinks as the weather heats up. They have a tiny entrance, not sure if it's WC accessible, but there's a few indoor tables, and contact-less ordering at the machine. The staff is very friendly, I've met a mother/daughter duo and some younger high school or college aged staff. They're all very efficient and make great drinks! Their royal fruit tea is a great refreshing mix of citrus, watermelon and pineapple which is nice on a hot day. Their regular boba milk tea is on the sweeter side (I generally do 0% and even that was too sweet), but toppings are QQ as heck and the milk to tea ratio feels equally down the middle. They have some cool drinks like mango coconut boom which doesn't have boba, but you still get agar and chewy goodness. Textures are on point! And the shop is cute with some insta-worthy backdrops. They're truly the best boba spot right now in Grand area. The next closest spot that I personally enjoy is Tea On in Piedmont, and then Chi Cha in Berkeley (much farther). Welcome to Grand The Mix, hope y'all stay.

    I tried The Mix for the first time today and I'm seriously impressed! The drinks are incredibly fresh and flavorful, and I love that they let me fully customize my drink. You can really tell they care about quality. The service is truly 5-stars!!! They used fresh ingredients and made my smoothie perfectly! Sally and Shirley were so friendly, welcoming, and patient, which made the experience even better. The shop itself is clean, bright, and has a great vibe. I highly recommend everyone support this new Bay Area business--you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be back! Let them know I sent you :)

    Mango Fruit tea, Grapefruit fruit and Peach fruit tea
    Xenix Y.

    New Coffee and tea spot on Grand Ave near Grand Theatre. Cozy little coffee bar with beautiful color scheme. Inside seating is limited but they do offer outside seating. We went here on Sunday and ordered a few fruit tea drinks to try. My half sweet Mango fruit tea was pack with fruit, super refreshing and nice tea favor! The kids love their grapefruit and peach versions too. Next time will definitely try their pastry and coffee.

    Creme Brûlée Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea

    Amazing service the two ladies working here were wonderful and provided excellent service. I ordered a Creme Brûlée Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea and it was the perfect amount of sweet and creamy. The interior has a very cozy, comforting vibe. I would recommend this place and I will be returning!!

    So cool to have this great tea spot close to campus!…read more This is a spacious, stylish, modern, and comfortable space to relax and enjoy your milk tea. Very convenient to order on one of the two self service kiosks, though a line can form at times (wish they had at least one more). There's a useful screen showing all of the orders that are ready and being worked on. There's a good amount of seating well spread out with some tables and a large communal table. Some power outlets near the wall for charging. There's a cool tea tasting and education area where they let you taste and learn about tea. They have some of the best tea of any chain, you can really taste the tea flavor. Their boba also comes warm and fresh in your cup. And how fun is their built in cup holder rope!

It was very informative and takes about 15 minutes which I really love and I really enjoy and learned a lot about tea. . Also I love coming here and getting the green milk tea with Boba and it has your Taro Boba and taro paste too. You can have it less sweet or no sweet and you can have it with less ice or more ice it's all up to your choice. . This is near the university and parking is a little challenge but there's also street parking and parking garage too. Hope this review helps and thanks for reading and have a yelp-tastic day.

    I hear they are under new management and no long affiliated with the one off of Clayton Rd in…read moreConcord. But that one is never open anyways. I assume it's true because their cup sizing has changed which I'm sadly disappointed. It's more open space/spacious and I had to create a new rewards account. Drink menu names changed slightly on kiosk and on the wall. They don't have that tacky shelf with plush, stuff, Knick knacks, for sale anymore. Drink still good, I don't think recipe has changed. I heard, then seen it for myself, the instagram post and stories shared by friends, of people dancing and partying at the shop late nights after hours. Then when I went in, also still had the sign up that said they did dance concert or hosted DJ nights at the shop. But Im also assuming it was under the old management and they must've got caught something doing something illegal or something they weren't suppose to be doing. The minus one star is for the cup sizing. Bring it back! Main reason why I love coming here, a good price for big cup size. Now it's like every other boba shop. Which is fine, but I won't go out of my way to come get boba here like I used to.

    Milk Tea Lab is now under new ownership at this location, and having been visiting this spot quite…read moreoften throughout that time I've become more than familiar with the quality and expectations of this place. This was my first time visiting them again since the ownership change so it's been a minute. What I see here now is just depressing, not just because the place was empty, but it's now devoid of anything that felt like a spot someone would want to hangout at. No music, when I got in there was one person waiting for their food and nobody was even at the front counter for minutes before somebody finally came out from the back. Ordering is just through the kiosk now, which isn't a bad thing. The part that was really rough was the reason why I even came here; the boba. I got a regular milk tea which now they only have a single size. I miss the extra large size they used to have, but oh well. The next issue comes with how much the boba actually costs. They may have gotten rid of the extra large cup sizes, but they're still charging the almost the same amount for it in a much smaller cup. What a deal, right? And we get to the actual drink. When the person making the drink after receiving your order finishes within a minute of making it, it's never a good sign. Why is that? Well, they had premade jug of milk tea ready to pour out for your tasting pleasure. When you have a premade jug of milk tea, it's never a good sign. While I've had them at other places that have done this before, and it's ranged from bad to mediocre, the one here at Milk Tea Lab, now, was in a word, rancid. It was incredibly gross with absolutely no redeeming qualities to it. I generally try not to be so harsh, but this was really not it and I couldn't even finish the boba because of how bad the milk tea was. It's sad to see how big of a dropoff this spot has become compared to what it used to be. This isn't like when they first opened where there were only 2-3 boba spots right next to them. Now there's at least a handful of options within a few minutes away, and dozens of spots within a mile or two, and this is what they're pushing out? It's a shame but this Milk Tea Lab which was their starter store is no longer a place I would ever go back to for boba. It's time is now past with this new ownership.

It's located in Westlake shopping plaza so there was ample parking, even on a weekend during dinner time. I had ordered online ahead of time as I had a coupon expiring soon. 10% ain't much but ykw it's honest work. I have been meaning to try their guava drinks forever, and finally today I got the guava grape, which can be made with or without jasmine tea. I got it the recommended way, with the tea, as well as less ice and less sugar. The drink was ready when we arrived. The store smells delicious as all Heyteas do. We waited a few minutes for a worker to be freed up, and were on our way, drinks in hand, 5 minutes later. The guava grape drink tasted just as I hoped it would. The guava and jasmine tea gave each sip a delicately earthy, floral flavor, and the crispness of the grape and the chunks of fresh grape brightened up each sip. This drink was just as good the following day as it was fresh, an important metric for me as the slowest drink-finisher I know. I will definitely be back to this Heytea if I am in the area. I saw that they brought back their blue coconut matcha with coconut jelly, which is my favorite matcha drink from them, so I will for sure get that next time!

I'm forever grateful for that recommendation because they make some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I've tried a few items on the menu, but the one I always recommend is the Hot Italian. Everything about this sandwich is incredible. It's packed with flavor, and you can honestly tell it was made with care. I usually pair it with a bag of chips, and the total comes to around $18. It's absolutely worth every penny and always leaves me full and satisfied. The shop is consistently clean, and the customer service is always friendly and welcoming. I find myself going back over and over again, then telling myself I need to take a break--only to end up back there a few weeks later. That's how good it is. A couple of things to keep in mind before you visit: there's only limited street parking, so you may have to circle the block to find a spot. There's also not much room to wait inside, although they do have a bench or two where you can sit while your sandwich is being prepared. In my experience, the wait is usually around 15 minutes. I've honestly never been here when it wasn't busy, so expect a crowd. But once you take that first bite, you'll understand why. Great food, great atmosphere, and great customer service. I highly recommend checking this place out!

They have a nice variety of items to grab that go well with your sandwich. The service was friendly and quick. Workers were all kind, and we love that it's dog-friendly! Regarding the sandwiches, you can get a hot or cold sandwich. You can also build your own! Companion got the Hot Boy, and I went the Build Your Own route. The sandwiches are hefty, with lots of great meats and fillings, and for the price, very decent! I wish my bread were a bit more toasted and crunchier, but that's my preference. It hit the spot, and I'd be open to trying their other sandwiches. I don't often go to delis, but Brothers Deli was a nice place to try. We enjoyed it by the waterfront, which makes it a great picnic option. Find them off Park Blvd., with street and residential parking around.
