8.24.26 My favorite…read moreboba chain for toys!! (For example CoCo 都可 1766 N Milpitas Blvd）always displays cute plushies and stuff.. but they r usually for display and not for sale unlike Ume... I like ume because they sell the bunny plushies without buying the surprise cup itself. Even if each location operates differently I have been able to switch out the plush for another I want. But usually I can just bypass that and buy a plush directly which I like instead of spending on a large surprise cup drink... Also not all boba places have popcorn chicken so that's why I like this one.. The three young boys( kids )who worked today's seemed nice low-key . They r nicer than boba bliss ... The boba bliss one in Dublin all the kids usually talk in the back and not like super cool welcoming with customers... But this one is all business and ready to help out seems like. At least I didn't think the two Asian guys and blonde kid were talking too much .. they were busy packing my stuff in the bag without being asked! Reminder to pack your own straw and little brown sticks in case they forget...

Still one of my favorite places to get boba…read more Staff was always so friendly and helpful. Even I felt like I asked the same questions about size and boba everytime. :P The mango drink was the best I have tried in the Bay Area thus far. The taro drink was a pretty close 2nd. Ambiance is very nice. Few spots to sit at but always full, lively, crowded and fun. Saw lots of different groups of customers here. Definitely a favorite spot for a lot of people. I will come again.

7-8 workers here but really only one working. The rest just socializing and messing around. You…read morecould tell the one worker was super annoyed. We came here and ordered 4 drinks with no line in front of us. Maybe online orders delayed the entire process but it took forever to get our drinks. The place is small and smelled like cleaning chemicals mixed with tea smells. No real seating and no bathroom to use. The storefront is small and inside even smaller and narrow. The quality of the Matcha is super low quality and very bitter. While most places premix their matcha, the matcha here tasted gross and very bitter. Tasted old. The ones who ordered the matcha drinks didn't even finish half the drink before they tossed it. Such a waste for an expensive drink. Compared to boba guys, this place isn't even in the same universe. Everything seems low quality and the prices are just as or more expensive in comparison. We went here because it was closer to the event we were attending but live and learn, the drive to bishop would have been worth it. And lastly they don't modify any of their drink orders such as less or more ice... or even sweeter less sweet. This is not the norm with how many other shops have options to customize drinks to order. With how poor quality and balanced the drinks were, they may benefit from some adjustments. Long story short = low quality not worth the price. Will not return and will stick with the tried and true staple in the area Boba Guys

Happy Lemon opened 3 years ago where Starbucks once was. Transformed into a happy lemon dispensary…read morewith 4 tables inside. Sparse decor beyond Lemon related branding. Quiet on a Sunday, plenty of parking. No lines. Greeted courteously, order handled efficiently, quickly. Ready in minutes. Offerings: salted cheese, milk tea, classic brewed tea, fruit tea. Lemon slushy, blended whole lemon, squeezed lemon, yakult, fruit smoothies.. Sips: matcha latte with salted cheese (L. 6.95) 25% ice/sugar. -initial taste: matcha faintly tasted at bottom, latte taste dominant. Salty cheese taste dominant on top. -when stirred, salty cheese taste neutralized. Sweetness dominant taste till end. Satisfying. Haven't had in many years. Repeatable in a year to avoid boredom.

This Sharetea location in San Ramon used to be our favorite boba spot, and the QQ Happy Family was…read morealways our go-to drink. What made it special--and what made it a "Happy Family"--was the variety of toppings: regular pearls, mini pearls, grass jelly, pudding, lychee jelly, and red bean. Several months ago, they stopped carrying mini pearls, which was already disappointing. Then, when my daughter and I visited yesterday, we learned that the QQ Happy Family no longer includes grass jelly, lychee jelly, or red bean either. At this point, most of the toppings that made the drink unique have been removed, so it really isn't the same drink anymore. We were both extremely disappointed. This used to be the Sharetea location we preferred, but unfortunately, with so many of our favorite toppings now gone, it's very unlikely that we'll return.

We stopped by Bober Tea on a weekday evening (after 8 pm), and the first impression was instant…read more Such a cute, aesthetic little café. Ordering through the kiosk was simple, and we settled in, chatting and taking photos with the fun décor while waiting for our drinks. As other customers came and went with their orders, I started wondering why ours was taking so long. It finally hit me, I had placed the order... but completely forgot to pay, so it never went through. With a hard stop coming up, I checked in at the counter, half-panicked and fully embarrassed. Thankfully, the gentleman behind the counter handled it with so much grace. He quickly took our order on the spot, had our drinks ready in record time, and even offered complimentary mochi donuts. I declined out of sheer embarrassment, but my daughter accepted one (churro flavor), and loved it. The drinks themselves were excellent: the brown sugar crème brûlée with konjac jelly was rich and satisfying, and the pineapple green tea with lychee and konjac jelly was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Between the cute vibe, quality drinks, and genuinely kind service, this place left a great impression. A small hiccup on my end, but they turned it into a standout experience.

Uji Time has been one of my favorite local spots. The real standout for me is the food. Their…read morepopcorn chicken is hands down the best I've had -- crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and seriously addictive. The deep-fried squid (basically calamari) is just as good -- light, crispy, and not overly greasy. It's the kind of snack you order "to share" and then end up guarding. And you can't leave without trying their soft serve. The fish-shaped cone is fun on its own, but the unique soft serve flavors make it special. It's creative, delicious, and something you can't find anywhere nearby. It's heartbreaking that they're closing sometime March. Places that put this much care into both flavor and creativity deserve better. If you've ever thought about trying it, now is the time. Local gems like this don't come around often -- and they shouldn't disappear quietly.

Stopping in this weekend, Uji Time Dessert was not quite what I expected…read more I went in thinking they sold ice cream but I'd term their soft serve solidly frozen yogurt, with the ice cream they sell being Moochi. The soft serve had an intensely creamy flavor with a high milk content and while the honey enjoyed his Thai milk tea boba, the style of my mango cup was not for me (although the fish cone option is very cute). We ordered from a tablet at the front and the service was prompt and friendly. I'd love to see them add in some outside seating as beyond the Starbucks, there's no seating in this shopping center. All in all, we may come back to order food but sadly it just wasn't a good match for the type of ice cream I enjoy.

I had a very disappointing experience at Pho Hoa Jazen Tea, and I would caution others to manage…read moretheir expectations before dining here. The moment I walked into the restaurant, I was surprised by the atmosphere. The employees were speaking Spanish among themselves in front of customers. What concerned me more was seeing a kitchen worker come out to the front with their clothes and body visibly wet and dirty. This raised concerns for me about the restaurant's cleanliness and food-handling standards. Hygiene should always be a top priority in any restaurant. Now, let's talk about the food. I saw many people eating here, so I hoped the pho would be good. Unfortunately, the broth tasted like water and lacked the rich, deep, savory flavor I expect from authentic Vietnamese pho. For the prices they charge, I expected much better quality. My wife is Vietnamese, and she was not impressed either. The food did not convince her at all, especially when it came to the authenticity and flavor of the pho. Based on our experience, this restaurant did not live up to our expectations of authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Honestly, I feel this place is overrated by many people. To me, it feels more like a fast-food Vietnamese restaurant that prioritizes serving customers quickly rather than delivering the quality, flavor, and care that a good bowl of Vietnamese pho deserves. Fast service is fine, but it should never come at the expense of food quality. My honest warning to other customers: If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese pho, I would think twice before spending your money here. In my opinion, the food does not justify the prices, and the overall experience left us disappointed. Between the disappointing food, the cleanliness concerns, and the lack of authentic flavor, I personally would not recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a genuine Vietnamese pho experience. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and improves its food quality, cleanliness, and overall customer experience.
