Their drinks are at a fair price for the amount you get, so the fact that there were very few people there should have been a clue. My drink was pretty terrible. I got a simple milk tea and it tasted very watery and mostly like synthetic sweeteners. Does the "Rare Tea" mean it's rare if you get any actual tea in your drink? If I'm being honest, the quality was very poor. It did in a pinch, but I would probably not come here again.

Definitely a favorite in our household!

Bang average, with prices that suggest they're serving gold leaf…read more TOMO Tea House is one of those places where the presentation is doing considerably more heavy lifting than the food. The chilli wonton soup was genuinely good, probably the standout for me. I'd happily go back for that. The cinnamon rolls were alright. I tried the Biscoff Crunch, Dubai Pistachio with Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, and Banana Pudding flavours. They looked the part and were decent enough, but nothing that had me thinking, "Bloody hell, I need another one of these." The waffles, unfortunately, were a different story. They weren't cooked properly through the middle, chewy and gooey rather than crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The Biscoff flavour was also barely noticeable. The drinks are very much geared towards the social-media crowd: lots of milk, lots of toppings, lots of visual appeal. If you enjoy taking a photo of your drink before taking a sip, you'll probably have a field day. And then there's the price. For what you're actually getting, it feels rather steep. The food is, at best, mediocre in several areas, yet the prices seem to suggest these ingredients were mined personally by King Charles. Ironically, I actually would have gone back for the chilli wontons, banana pudding and Biscoff pudding. But the experience around their influencer/collaboration side left a rather sour taste. If you're a collaborator or influencer, BE WARNED! No real communication or courtesy message. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but if you're going to deal with people, a simple response goes a long way. But then again, they perhaps cherry-pick whom to interact with based on their social media activity. And finally, watching someone at the counter struggle with some basic maths while taking an order was certainly an experience. I'm all for supporting people, but perhaps the calculator deserves a little more screen time than the Instagram account. Overall: some genuinely good items buried underneath a lot of hype, presentation and rather ambitious pricing. I'd happily return for a couple of the things I enjoyed, but I wouldn't be rushing back for the overall experience. Food: 3/10 Value: 2/10 Presentation: 8/10 Social-media appeal: 10/10 Would I return? For the chilli wontons and a couple of puddings, yes. For the rest... probably not.

BAMBU feels incredibly nostalgic to me. I used to stop by the Union City location almost every day…read moreto pick up drinks for my family and me before it closed a few years ago. While I was in Sacramento, I happened to spot a BAMBU in the plaza and was genuinely excited to grab some drinks. The shop itself is fairly small, with limited indoor seating--about five tables in total. Unfortunately, the dining area wasn't very clean. Tables weren't being wiped down after customers left, so new groups would simply sit at dirty tables without anyone cleaning them in between. The menu is displayed overhead. You order and pay at the counter before waiting for your drinks. Our group of five ordered five drinks, and while the selection was great, the prices were on the higher side. When our order was ready, it was disappointing that we had to ask for basic items like a bag for the drinks and spoons. These weren't available for self-service, so we had to request them. The elderly gentleman helping us seemed visibly annoyed by the request, which left a poor impression. It's the small details and customer interactions that can really shape the overall experience. As much as I love BAMBU as a brand, this particular location fell short. Between the unfriendly service, lack of attention to cleanliness, and higher prices, I wouldn't go out of my way to visit the Sacramento location again. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning in the future.

It's been a while since I've been here, but I've had positive experiences since my last review…read more For one, they saved our boba bar for my wedding. We had intended to order fruit tea from another local boba shop that is no longer in business, but they weren't able to accommodate. However, Tastea saved the day and made Peach Me Sweetea and it was a hit. I know that I can rely on Tastea for a good fruit tea, so there have been many times I would come here to just get their Peach Me Sweetea. I've come here for a Yelp event too, to try out some new items, like funnel cake fries, which were very interesting and not bad actually! This latest time I got their large Buttload A Fries and it was such good value and it really was a lot of fries. Their fries are also so crispy and crunchy--very addictive, craveable. Service is always nice here and their shop is generally very clean. Overall, I highly recommend!

Stopped in to Tastea at Delta Shores for the first time, just to get a classic Brown Suar Milk Tea…read morew/Boba. I saw that they said a "Tiger" Milk tea, which is famously named since the brown super is added to gives the appearance of stripes inside of your cup. Seemed simple enough, thinking nothing of it and young girl who was very helpful. Asked if I was a medium or large, and then pointed at a 20 ounce and 32 ounce option. 32 ounces is honestly the largest size Boba I've ever seen but I opted for the 20oz instead. Should have read what their Tiger Tea version was more clearly, as I didn't expect their to be custard in my drink. A Tiger Milk Tea, is a fancy name/spin for a brown sugar milk tea, because of the "stripes" which I'm very familiar with. So I didn'texpect extra stuff ai wouldn'tnormally have, but if I had known. I would've just opted not to get it, or maybe have just asked for a simple brown sugar milk tea option. Overall: The drink wasn't bad; I definitely had to get used to the custard in my drink. Mostly because of the texture, as I wasn't really feeling it.

There is a variety of board games if you decide to take your drink there, as well as cute items for sale throughout the space. I was immediately greeted by Mark who has got to be one of the nicest people on the planet. He shared a little about the shop, how it was inspired by their daughter, and also answered my in-depth questions in regards to their coffee. The drinks themselves were very delicious. Their Vietnamese coffee is an arabica-robusta blend that is phin dripped and mixed with condensed milk, so you get that traditional bold and sweet flavor profile. It's not the strongest Vietnamese coffee, but it satisfies the craving and is definitely the best option in the area. The sago drinks were phenomenal and very satisfying for a warm day. I highly recommend this spot if you are in the area. Good people, good drinks, good service 10/10
