Mango Green Tea
Brandon Y.

A pretty great boba spot in Union City! Ordered their Mango Green Tea with boba. It came with fruit bits. Service was quick. Probably on the pricier side for boba but their cups are good quality and it's nice and clean inside. Minimal seating but lots of plugging outlets in case people wanted to hang.

I've been here several times, but just realized I hadn't left a review. The other day my niece picked me up a Thai Milk tea with boba and it seemed like the best boba ever (outside of this one restaurant in Morgan Hil. I was so delighted she thought of me. Fast forward a few days and I decided to grab one for myself. Not as good, but bo complaints. I also ordered the pandan waffle, but it took a LONG time to get. There were only a couple of patrons and they already had their items, so I was the only one being serviced. I do also wish it came with some sweetened condensed me or a little cup of something to poor over it. But most places don't do that so, there's no "ding" for that. It was good and each bite had the crunch of coconut. Another positive about Tocotea is that it opens at 11am whereas most Boba places don't open until 12. They have chalked/painted Boba Cups on the wall. Here's What I Think... The next time I come back, I'll get my Thai Tea, but maybe I'll try the strawberry or Taro waffle.

Matcha $7.50 with tax it's around $8. It was perfect

Service and ambiance was great. The guy that was working helped me pick between 2 matcha's: the one he helped me with was milk tea matcha with lychee it's so good. I needed a matcha fix

The Tocotea by my house closed down, so I was surprised to see this one was still around. A few tables to sit at inside. I enjoyed their drink of... Okinawa Milktea: Rich milk tea blended with Okinawa brown sugar, topped with chewy coffee jelly cubes.

Thai creme brulee and matcha coconut
Lance F.

So so so yummy.. me and my boyfriend ordered the matcha coconut with lychee jelly and Thai creme brulee with boba. The thai tea was literally one of the BEST thai tea I have ever had if not the best. The flavor was so rich I swear I finished the drink in 2 minutes because of how tasty it was. The creme brulee was a little chunky when I had it and tasted more lile a regular cream(?). I felt that there wasn't enough of it to be called a creme brulee drink but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The boba was so soft and chewy. It had the perfect consistency. It's just regular tapioca balls so no sugar was added (not to my knowledge/taste) and no additional syrups but because it was made so well the bland flavor meant almost nothing. I got plenty of pearls in my drink as well, they definitely didn't skimp out on it!!! My boyfriends drink from first glance, we thought it was going to be some kind of coconut milk tea or thick coconut-y drink but when the barista handed it to us it was actually coconut juice!!!! It tasted so delicious... the matcha itself is more of a thicker consistency, my boyfriend likes more matcha taste/bitterness to it. It could have used more matcha or a stronger matcha base since the flavor of the coconut juice really overpowered the matcha. It's my first time seeing a boba place use coconut juice in a drink so it was a very pleasant surprise The lychee jelly was also really really good, it had that nice tense outside chew. Our server was nice :) the interior is nice with all the beautiful paintings on the walls....the seats are very comfortable, it was just a little warm in there but we did come in a few minutes before closing.

Strawberry milk tea and 3 taro cheesecake.  Bland and boba not great
Frances V.

Was in the area for dinner, so stopped in. Asked for lemon cheesecake...out of lemon. Asked for red velvet instead...also out. Third time wasn't a charm, because also out of tiramisu. Settled on a taro cheesecake for myself, husband and our daughter and our oldest got the strawberry milk tea. First sip, cheecake top was delicious...but, the taro had no flavor. It was very bland and I love taro drinks. The tapioca pearls were way too chewy, that they were hard to chew at all. They should have some bite to them and this was like too jelly. My daughter's strawberry milk tea wasn't much better. Spent $31 on 4 drinks that weren't that great.

Creme brûlée milk tea

The price is kinda high; I believe the drink was around 8 dollars in the end. But that's to be expected with milk tea shops. The location was clean and the service was fast. To be honest, the drink was very very good and I would probably go back again.

My usual go-to is their Ube Coconut Coffee, and I can confidently say it's the best ube coffee I've had in the Bay Area, and I've tried A LOT of boba and milk tea places! Today, I decided to switch things up and try their Genmaicha Matcha, and it did not disappoint! You can taste the subtle, nutty, toasted rice flavor infused with the matcha. It's smooth, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. I ordered mine with 30% sugar, and it was perfect! The owner is also incredibly nice and always so informative about their drinks. You can genuinely tell how much thought, creativity, and experimentation go into developing each drink. They really put effort into perfecting their recipes, and it shows in both the presentation and taste! I also love their baked popcorn chicken! I appreciate that they bake it instead of frying it, making it a slightly healthier alternative. I do wish they had more food options, although I haven't explored their entire menu yet. I work nearby, and this has become our go-to spot. Their drinks are consistently amazing, and I love the passion behind what they create. Definitely 5 stars! Highly recommend!

We can definitely use more options in the area that sells desserts beyond just Boba . glad we can come here for crepes, shaved ice , and toast cubes . they also sell hot food like the ramly burger if you're hungry.

But very disappointed with the brown sugar pearl latte. It was Super sweet compare to the one I got here a week ago( I understand the sweetness is not asjustable) but it's like double the regular sweetness. We throw it in the trash after tasing it..... The mixed fruit tea is ok, ordered 50% sweetness. One thing about boba place is they just can't keep up with the quality and being consistent with their drink.Not sure if I'll be back again.

The staff…read morehere are friendly, and while there isn't much space to sit and hang out, that's fairly typical of Yi Fang locations. It's more of a grab-and-go setup rather than somewhere you'd come to spend a lot of time. You can order ahead of time or place your order in the store using the self-service tablets, which makes the process pretty straightforward and efficient. One thing I like about Yi Fang is the consistency of their drinks, along with the variety of options available. There's something for different tastes and preferences, and you can customize things like ice and sweetness levels. They also have plenty of toppings to choose from. We ordered the Sugar Cane with Boba and the Multi-Floral Honey Mountain Tea with Aiyu Jelly. Both were delicious, refreshing, and different enough that I'd happily order them again. With so many drinks to choose from, it's also a place where you can keep coming back and try something new each time. Overall, a convenient spot when you're looking for a refreshing drink without a long or complicated ordering process.

The rice plate packed with full of lemongrass flavor and that egg cake is my favorite. This spot is only less than 10mins away from me. That's dangerous! Definitely coming back here for my pho fix.

I do wish I had more pork chop though with the rice ratio. That's just my opion because the pork chop was hella good. The Boba drinks always delivered. Can't go wrong with their boba drinks. Parking is not an issue here because it's a huge plaza with plenty of parking. Great place to hang out after you get your nails done next door. Plenty of chair and it's clean.
