The service is very good. You go in and order and they eill call your number. One thing is that you have to wait outside while they are making it. The food is also a 10/10 I love the strawberry mango boba milk tea and the waffle and warm nuttela. I also think that the ambiance is pretty and trendy. Love this! read more

Just a quick disclaimer before I start the review -- I'm a little spoiled from drinking at some of the best boba shops down in LA and San Francisco so when it comes to boba, my standards can get pretty high. Seeing as there aren't that many boba shops up in Sonoma County though, Thirstea is definitely one of the better spots, and my current go-to when I'm visiting my girlfriend. I am a sucker for oolong teas, so when I found out these guys served oolong I knew that was the first thing I was going to order. Sadly, I was a little disappointed with their roasted oolong milk tea, since it tasted more like regular milk tea than oolong. I also ordered their matcha milk tea and that one also tasted more like regular milk tea than anything. Boba pearls were decent. However, the two drinks that I did like were my girlfriend's passion fruit iced tea and their lemon iced tea. They make their iced teas well, and both these teas were very tart, sweet and slightly sour just the way I like it. We also ordered their pandan waffle with nutella out of curiosity. I couldn't taste much of the pandan, but it had a very slight coconut flavor. It tasted pretty good though! -- because anything with Nutella in it tastes freakin bomb. ---- The Verdict: Thirstea doesn't have the best quality milk teas and is a little pricey for what it's worth, but they make pretty good iced teas! They're also one of the only decent boba options around Sonoma county so I would definitely recommend this place if you have nowhere else to go. read more

Definitely hidden if you aren't paying attention you will miss it. But my new favorite boba /ice cream place is here ! Family own places are the best . Only reason I gave them 4 starts was the young girl making the drinks and food looked miserable definitely need to work on her customer service attitude. But I will definitely be coming back. read more

Not sure if they have the new owners but the sandwiches are different from the past. Got stale bread with old meat and very bland Boba tea drink. When I come here, I am not expecting the authentic Vietnamese sandwiches, but at least have fresh bread. Disappointed. read more

Super Yummy Boba! Staff is always super friendly and help with drink suggestions. Never had to wait long for my drinks and overall amazing vibe in the store. read more

Amazing service! Fast and friendly! Tea is great and waffle is the best!! How does this place only have 4 stars.. totally deserve 5! And the egg puffs are delicious!!! UPDATE: I will continue to come back here! They have the best aloe add in for drinks. I used to be loyal to another boba shop on Snyder, but after coming to ThirsTea I won't go anywhere else. It was great to see they updated the decor inside, I love the rose gold touches and succulents, very trendy. It was also great to see college students hanging out inside. Sometimes it's hard for smaller places like this to stay busy, especially being a little further from the college, but the smaller places have better quality and service! read more

ThirsTea - Lychee black iced tea with aloe and egg puffs with coconut ice cream - Desserts Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

Hungry for lunch ( last time we came during business hours but, even with lit OPEN sign, it was closed ) in to order, deciding not to drive to the fave Banh Mi on Santa Rosa Ave. my daughter ordered two pork banh mi, asking what the differences were. the cashier said that one was pork and the other roasted pork. turns out one was Char Shu pork . after her order was taken, the cashier stepped toward the back where presumably food is prepared and put the order in front of the chef. i waited about 3to 4 minutes before she said, "do you want to order something?" . i said yes please so she took my order. i asked my daughter, waiting outside the small shop, to bring my order when she got hers. She was annoyed when she thanked the cashier ( who was tipped) who responded, "yep!" without even looking up. i took my sandwich home. could have bought a Chinese chicken salad sandwich anywhere , that is what this tried to be, but no flavor, no jalapeno, etc. not even mayo. had to add my own. and my own peppers and hot sauce. anticipated the lovely light fluffy crispy roll used everywhere else- at Thuan Fat (and flavor for a few dollars less!), or Kettles- great service, ambience, quality for $3 more, etc. Better sourdough sandwiches at Safeway.. read more

I enjoyed their aesthetic and their flavors. There were many options to choose from and all the staples you'd expect from a boba place. I got the honeydew milk tea which provided some much needed refreshment on a day! read more

First time here and loved it! Loved the decor and modern vibe! Was cozy hangout while enjoying our drinks. It was my nieces first time trying Boba and unfortunately she was a fan. Owner was very kind, understanding and accommodating by making her a new drink without Boba. I will definitely be coming back especially with my family and kiddos. Thank you for the great experience, keep up the great work! read more

I hate that this place smells so good when I walk in. My butt and thighs are screaming for mercy while my mind and taste buds are telling me to enjoy the egg puffs and pandan waffles because I can just do extra squats when I workout. I like this place, and it really has the potential to grow. The sweetness in the drinks are adjustable, and they're generous with their boba portions. My biggest qualm is a possible deterrent for any future visits if it doesn't improve, which I hope they do. The flavors of some drinks are just not quite there... yet. I hope they're still tweaking with the recipes and working on improving the flavors. Jasmine green milk tea is my default go-to drink. ThirsTea's jasmine has an odd slight pink color to it. There's no hint of jasmine or green tea at all, and it doesn't taste like milk either. I don't know what in the hell I'm drinking because it definitely isn't jasmine milk tea. My favorite drink so far is the coffee milk tea, which I'm happy to report *does* taste like coffee. A quick run-down of the other flavors we've tried: - Peach green tea is good but too sweet at regular sweetness, so we always order it at 50% or 0% sweetness. - The oolong milk tea has a very slight hint of oolong. Otherwise, it's like the jasmine milk: I don't quite know what I'm drinking. - Strawberry smoothie is probably not made with fresh strawberries, as it has a very artificial taste. - The honeydew has a chalky after taste. - The avocado milk tea was just disgusting. Egg puffs are absolutely yummy, as long as they're not overcooked. I love when they're soft and chewy on the inside. Pandan waffles are yummy, too. As of late January 2016, their shaved snow offerings are not ready, but I'm looking forward to trying their mango and taro concoctions! The place is a work in progress, and I'm rooting for them. read more

Long wait time for a very bland average quality boba drink. Sandwiches are dry and pancake waffle is not cooked through.

The ONLY place that serves food boba in the area. HOW DID I NOT FOUND OUT ABOUT THEM SOONER?? I go to Graton for a good amount of time throughout the year and all they have there is free water or overprices drinks. So I came here and tried their black milk tea and pandan waffle. The black milk tea was not overly sweetened and the pandan waffle is almost as good as the ones from San Jose. It just needs to be more crispy. But then again I did get it to-go so it became soggy quickly in the bag - don't judge their pandan waffle based on my review please haha. But for sure, their drinks are awesome. The staff truly knows how to make good boba/milk tea. read more

Really great and friendly customer service! The drinks and boba are delicious, I got a jasmine milk tea with boba and my bf got a mango green tea with boba & lychee jelly. Both were really good! The snacks look delicious too, I am planning on getting one the next time I go. This is my new go to spot in the area and I highly recommend coming here especially because the staff is really friendly and nice. read more

I got the pandan waffle with nutella and it was pretty glorious. Right when you walk in the door you're drenched in the sweet smell of confections. The one guy behind the counter did all the work. It's a small place with only two tables and a few spots at a window bar. If it is empty, this can be a nice place to get on the Wi-Fi and get work done while having a snack. read more

I was so excited to find this place after moving up to NorCal from SoCal. Sonoma is not really known for boba places so I was pretty excited to try it out. I got the Thai Tea which was pretty decent. Some Thai Tea aren't very strong so I was glad to find a place in NorCal that had a pretty good option for Thai Tea. I also got their Vietnamese coffee and a Banh Mi. The Vietnamese Coffee was pretty bitter and didn't have the same sweet taste it normally does. I could go without the Banh Mi, the meat had quite a bit of fat on it that I didn't care for. I'd come back for the boba but am still on the look out for my go to shop. read more

as a sonoma state student, there's really not many boba options in town--it's either quickly or thirstea. personally, i prefer thirstea because of their variety of flavors. they're all so simple yet satisfying. what i love most is the consistency of their boba: not too hard or too soft, perfectly in the middle! prices are reasonable also. it's a local business so it's always nice to support. place is never usually busy, which is why i love coming in especially during these times. i would recommend getting coffee half green tea with boba. it's not on the menu but it's absolutely one of my faves! read more

Too sweet and the Boba is half cooked. I think they are using powdered juice/flavors.

The boba tea was bitter and I really don't approve the place was DIRTY and I don't think they put much effort into my tea bc they handed me it right away read more

I really tried to liked this boba shop, I have stopped by about 3 times, and every time I stop by I am disappointed. I always ordered the bubble milk tea, but it seems to lack flavor. The milk tea just taste watered down. Aside from that, the staff is very friendly. I also love the set up, perfect for Snapchat or Instagram stories. Very clean! read more

First off the cashier was super nice and attentive which is why I gave them 2 stars. I asked about the contents of the Bhan mi sandwich and was told it had paté. I said hold the paté I don't eat pork. So, I waited in my car and came back in and saw the other young woman was making my sandwich. I saw her spread the paté on the sandwich, then the other woman said something and then that woman scrapped the paté off the sandwich and put it back in the bin. I then saw her use the same utensil to get the mayonnaise and spread on the bread. I asked her what she just put back in the bin, she's like mayonnaise, I said no before that, she's like mayonnaise, I'm like no before that. I said was that the paté she like no it was mayonnaise. I said you put something back in the bin that looked like paté was that the paté because I'm allergic to pork so even if you scrapped it off I would still have an allergic reaction. She then said yes it was paté, I'll make you a new one. After that I thought ok, no problems now. Wrong! The chicken in the sandwich was at least a few days old. It's pretty disgusting. I removed all the chicken and ate the rest of the sandwich because I was starving and I figured I wasn't going to get anywhere with them by complaining. I've worked in the food industry and the rule of thumb is don't serve people food you wouldn't eat yourself. Not here. read more

great boba and drinks and will at the front is the best boba maker ever. He makes some gas!

This review is strictly based on their pandan waffle and egg puff. I went around 6:30pm on a Saturday night and it wasn't busy at all. I was able to order right away and my waffle and puff came out pretty quickly. Their pandan waffle was so good, my roommate has been telling me to try it for a long time and it didn't disappoint. I'm typically picky about my egg puff and the puff wasn't soggy at all and it was crispy/chewy at the same time. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it was good. This place was a little hard to find, it's tucked away in the corner. I definitely recommend coming here to try out their drinks and food options if you're around the area. read more

By far among the best boba option around Santa Rosa/Sonoma County. There's a T4 (probably second best choice) and Quickly in Santa Rosa, but otherwise your other option is Tea Rex or random Asian restaurants that may offer it from their drink menu. Service is consistently quick, and they offer some fun snack options such as the egg puff and pandan waffles (both were great, obviously not cheaper than San Jose). Haven't gotten around to trying their Banh mi/food options. Otherwise, I've been pleased with my drinks/boba each time - I've tried a handful of the milk teas and haven't been disappointed. I'm hoping they'll eventually add egg pudding as an add-on option to their drink menu! This will definitely be my go-to spot for milk tea for whenever I'm in town visiting family. read more

I've been coming here for nearly two years. I agree with other reviewers this is much better than T-Rex and Quickly pales in comparison. I have my favorite milk teas (Roasted Oolong, Sesame & Red Bean). The boba is cooked perfectly. Just enough chew and not hard. The milk teas are not super sweet like Quickly. You can order according to your sweet spot, they're more than happy to accommodate. I've turned on a number of friends here--none of us live in the area, but stop by whenever we are. I'd like to give it FIVE stars, but I recently found out they use SOY milk. I'm disappointed that it is not noted on their menu because I cannot have soy for health reasons. The only alternative is half and half. Wish they offered unsweetened almond milk. The Hubs and little ones (they're sugar monsters ) like the fruit slushes with flavored jelly. The pandan waffle is so good, and the Báhn mì is tasty, too. All in all, I think you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The place is clean, the owner and employees friendly, and the shop has great lighting. The shop has a relaxing and friendly vibe. read more

The BEST place for boba/milk tea/Thai tea in Sonoma County! If you're in Rohnert Park or at least passing by, you need to stop by ThirsTea. I've never had a bad experience here during the couple of years I've lived in the area. The food and drinks are always great and the staff is always super friendly. The place is always clean and always looks cute. Today I ordered the Matcha Milk Tea with boba and it was great! It is a smaller place, but that honestly doesn't really matter when the product is as good as it is! read more

Had a craving for banh mi and normal place owner was on vacation. Decided to try this place out. What a mistake. Both my wife and I looked at eachother the moment we walked in due to the strange smell. I also have to mention the multiple flies that were just around us. Guess we were craving enough that we disregarded and still placed an order. We also tried one of the tea drinks. It was not good. And the sandwich......was one of the worst things ive had dining out. Would not go back. Would not recommend. read more

So yummy and clean! Boba is my favorite! I cannot wait until 11 today so I can go back for round two! I got he coconut milk tea, but she recommended he jasmine milk tea for next time sink could have caffeine They had so much to choose from and so many little Japanese inspired bites. It reminded me of the store 'Sanrio Surprise.' read more

I love boba, but normally I find most places have overly sweet teas. I came to this little shop and the cashier was so helpful and guided me to what I could order.

This place is so good! I tried boba for the 2nd time here (giving it another chance after hating it at another place) and loved it!

ThirsTea - Thai Tea - Desserts Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

I must say, it's a small, quaint store on the corner of the building. You can't really catch it if you are driving on Commerce, but I wanted some milk tea, and found it on this site. The milk tea is pretty good. You can taste the tea, not just sugared milk with a hint of tea. Also, it includes boba and the tax with the listed price. The card reader is something I haven't seen, a small little square reader with no numbers or anything. I guess it means they don't have to rent the card reader. Haven't tried anything else yet. The decor is simple, but clean. Couldn't get wifi, don't know if they have it or not. But not much seating anyway. More of a order and go business than cafe. read more
