    This boba shop is adorable and the staff is great, but their uji matcha latte was awful. It was one of my least favorite drinks due to the poor balance of milk and sugar, which overpowered the matcha flavor completely. However, I did enjoy their milk tea mochi donut and appreciated how perfectly well they mastered the mochi texture for it. While I wouldn't go back for drinks, I would go back if I were craving a mochi donut.

    The donut selections available for this week. They rotate out.

    We discovered this place during our visit by using the The Too Good To Go app. We picked up our surprise bag which contained 5 delicious 5 mochi donuts: blueberry pop tart, strawberry pocky, churro, lemon cookie and chocolate bear. They were all sooo good! Additionally, we got a strawberry lemonade and the wintermelon tea. We both loved our drinks. The lady at the front was very nice and bubbly. The interior of the shop is beautiful and well decorated. If you live in the area or passing through, this shop has amazing food, drinks, and service.

    The establishment is cute. It was a definitely a different experience. I walked in, it was lonely, and someone yelled out to order off the kiosk. I didn't see anyone till I was handed my order. I got a few mochi donuts to try. Unfortunately, they weren't very fresh like others I've had. They also were a bit pricey. I get it, it's the esthetic that you're really paying for so no biggie. They have drinks as well but I didn't get one, so maybe I'll be back to try that.

    OG Viet Coffee to-go!

    Wow! Or as the kids say these days...FIRE. Hands down the best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had. I ordered the iced OG Viet Coffee (fitting :/) and was blown away by the quality, texture, and creamy goodness. It was so delicious I bought a 1 gallon to-go bag to bring home...gotta say, I was SO happy to wake up on a Sunday morning and pour myself bottomless iced coffees lol Everything about our experience here was top notch. Wifey and kids thoroughly enjoyed their boba drinks and colorful assortment of mochi donuts. Parking was a breeze. There was a friendly, energetic ambiance, and for a smaller space, I was surprised at how decorative and efficient everything was. Many IG photos were taken.. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and apparently we had just missed out on a Labubu giveaway?! I've never been a huge fan of boba, but it's great to see a unique business getting away from chain stores like Quickly. I hope this place flourishes so I can come back for my bag!

    This is my favorite place to get boba and mochi donuts in Livermore. I love that the mochi donut flavors change weekly. They have two kiosks to order from but you can order at the counter as well. Make sure to pick up a stamp card. I also love the floral decor with pink and gold accents. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Definitely family friendly as well. You can also find them at the Livermore farmers market. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Cute spot for grab and go or to hang out with your friends. I can't get over how gorgeous the decor is. I went with my kids on a whim, but I wish I went with my friends instead. I thought I was just going to run in for some boba and mochi donuts, but the vibes just made me want to stay. My kids were enjoying their playlist as well. I was greeted right upon entry. They gave me a little intro on where and how to order (kiosk), and told me they can help me if needed. I loved that they welcomed me, but also gave me space to decide and browse because there are so many options, and I wanted to try them all! I ended up getting the pandan vietnamese coffee and a strawberry crunch mochi donut. Loved that my drink was not overly sweet at all. I do not even recall being able to change the sweetness, but it was perfect. The mochi donut didn't stand a chance, I did not even get to try it because the kids demolished it. My kids don't just eat anything. If its not good, they will let me know and tell me they saved me some, so safe to say that it was delicious. Plenty of parking in the plaza, so that's a bonus! I'll definitely be back, and I'm bringing my friends!

    Super cute boba shop with tons of options with stir fried boba, chisu, pandan cloud foam, creme brûlée, jellies, and lots of Vietnamese coffees!! Service is super friendly and the shop is clean and modern.

    The Kid and her finds. Not only did we need to drive to Livermore but we had to hit up Bober Tea off Las Positas after. The only Bober Tea that has the cutest little surprises in their surprise cups. The staff were super sweet. The manager Monette was very kind over the phone as well. There weren't many of the keychains left, but they were kind enough to let us know that. But they will be getting more in soon!!! The labubus are so cute. The black tea was delicious. They were out of donuts but that's ok. The decor sends it over a 10/10.

    We were looking for Vietnamese coffee in Livermore and this was the only spot that popped up. The cafe has a lot of floral decorations and indoor seating. It would actually be a nice place to do a little work or catch up with a friend if the music was quieter. We tried the pandan, egg, and matcha Vietnamese coffees. The coffees here are good, not as good as other spots that specialize in Vietnamese coffee but we'll still be back since this is the only place that offers it. Their boba and fruit drinks look good too so I'll be trying those in the future! I wish they had a rewards program since a lot of the other boba and coffee shops I go to offer one. I'd definitely be back more often if they did!

    Bober Tea & Coffee opened in Teriyaki's vacated space. Infrastructure similar. New decor similar to all Bobers but not as pinkish. A few seats inside & outside. Got help from owner using new upgraded kiosk. Needed to navigate between pages to order. Got drink 5ish minutes. Offerings: Vietnamese coffee, fruit tea, milk tea, Brown sugar series, chizu series. Mochi donut, latte. Sips: roasted oolong milk tea (5.60) 25%sugar/ice. -nice subtle sugar taste. Not overwhelming. Strong tea presence even with milk. Persistent even at 25% capacity. No dilution of flava. -shown actual oolong tea leaves used. Not powder Bites: black sesame popcorn mochi (comped) -Yelp special for anyone willing to write a review. -mochi the usual chewiness. Popcorn interesting. -piece de resistance was the slight sugarness. Not overwhelming. Black sesame full flavored. Had friendly convo with owner re: products -coffee beans used directly soured from Vietnam. Got Viet covfefe with milk sample. Legit! -learned that actual fruits used, not juices in fruit teas. 5 stars worthy! Great quality/quantity May is Asian American, Hawaiian, Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

    My girlfriend and I discovered this boba/mochi donut shop when it was still called Bober Tea. We were a huge fan of the chizu series, particularly the matcha latte and milk tea. The workers there were always friendly and extremely welcoming! The interior inside makes for a very chill environment, great for studying as well if you are one to do so at local coffee shops. We haven't been back since the change in name so we hope that our favorite drinks there are still being made (and most importantly, taste the same)!

    Kristina P.

    I saw on social media that they had snacks here so you know my hungry self had to come try it out! I already knew their boba drinks were good, but sheeeeeesh! Their snacks are just as good! The popcorn chicken is hella good and the sweet potato tots hit the spot! Their mochi donuts are always cute and delicious. Has to be one of my fave boba spots!

    What a wonderful place!! Entering Bober Tea & Coffee | Mochi Dough already puts you in a great mood with the decorative space and flowers everywhere! This place is beautifully laid out and lots of spots for foodies and Yelpers to take pictures. Every wall will give you a different themed picture. :-) I visited during their soft opening. While soft openings are generally accompanied by hiccups in the ordering, serving, or payment process, everything seemed to run really smoothly. I wouldn't have been able to tell it was a soft opening, so kudos to the staff! We purchased a 6-pack of mochi donuts and got Vietnamese coffee for free. Price is on par with other similar shops. We got a variety of mochi donuts - black sesame, cookies & cream, fruity pebbles, churro, chocolate sprinkle and funnel cake. The donuts are firm but not heavy and very tasty. So far, I ate the black sesame once I got home and it was delish. We also got two Vietnamese iced coffees - the Egg Custard Cloud Viet Coffee and the OG Viet Coffee. The Egg Custard Cloud was so good. Pretty sweet and the brown sugar adds a great flavor to the coffee. I'll say the coffee is strong and you'll get your caffeine jolt for sure! Also had a chance to speak with the owners - Thomas and Monette - for a bit and hear about their year-long journey to realize their dream of owning this shop. They are wonderful people! Stop by and buy a bunch!

    Had to get more!!!!

As our organizer mentioned, they were fully booked that night so do reserve early. Warm earthy tones in the decor made for a comfortable, inviting atmosphere and the light jazz ensemble and lovely vocal performances elevated the evening's experience. The ambiance is a strong point. Being a paella newbie, I definitely looked forward to tasting a version especially after watching cooking shows over the years. The saffron broth rice nicely counterbalanced the seasoned shrimp, sausage and other ingredients. Thumbs up. I had several portions. The tempura cauliflower - good. KR Enchiladas were cheesey and rich, plumply filled, and the accompanied rice accented with corn. Since we shared the three enchiladas, my small piece was enough for me. Suggest passing on the sourdough side that came with the paella. The bread had melted, but cooled cheese on it and there was not much free broth in the paella to soak therewith anyway. With water being the group's primary beverage, perhaps request a carafe of water at the table to ease the thirstier folks (me). Our wait person gave helpful suggestions and efficient service. The rest of the staff had hustle. As normal with live music, be prepared to raise your voice and repeat yourself in conversations. Parking is ample, with a short walk, in this Nob Hill Foods shopping center.

We sat in the outdoor patio which was perfect as the summer heat was dying down. They also had blankets at the outdoor tables which was a nice touch. We started with the oysters and the Korean melon and cucumber salad. The oyster was light and fresh, and I've never had it paired with a salsa like that before. It didn't really feel like a cohesive bite with the oyster. The melon and cucumber salad had a nice sesame dressing that balanced out the sweet and crunchy bites. I'd skip both of these next time. For our mains we split the radiatori pasta and the steak. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce tasted more like butternut squash instead of sweet corn and tomatoes. It was still good but not quite what we were expecting. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare and the mashed potatoes and herb butter were the ideal pairings. For our sweet treat, we split the milk and honey, which was a vanilla ice cream topped with honeycomb. This was SOOO good and maybe the best part of dinner. Overall, service was attentive and friendly, the outdoor patio was really nice in the cool summer breeze, and food was pretty good. A bit on the pricey side but I love spending time with my girls with yummy food and drink so it's worth it to me!

Almost every time I've been to a beer or wine bar or even a cider house they always serve drinks in a chilled glass. This isn't the case with wine of course. So I was surprised an establishment in Livermore that serves many beers and ciders would do so. The atmosphere of the place was decent. The bar is in the back and you have to pass an area in the front to get to it. If you didn't know it was there or wasn't sufficiently curious you might turn around and leave without finding it. Overall if you're on the square and specifically wanting wine then this is the place to go. If you're looking for beer or cider and wanting it served correctly then you should look elsewhere.

Yes, I got here on a Saturday with no reservations. I definitely understood having to wait under those circumstances and I was okay with that. I was told it would be 20 minutes. What I want to focus on is that we were the next group to be seated. There was only two of us. Another group with 4 people walked in about 15 min later after us with no reservations but they were seated almost immediately. The hostess did not acknowledge us nor said anything. Awhile after that I counted 3 different groups leaving - a tota of 8 people. We waited patiently and kept waiting thinking we would be seated. 20 minutes slowly pass by, then another 5, then another 5.. I looked over and saw two tables completely empty. I was literally outside the door after about 45inutes and my phone buzzed. Come to find out that they had 3 open tables available the entire time. The decor is tiki themed along with the drinks however the music playing in the background was jazz. Not sure how that fits the theme. Also, the drinks averaged about $20 and small bites and desserts ranged from $13-$20. I'm torn about wanting to return here.

The Wife and I have been there for a couple of Flapper Fridays, which is speakeasy night.

The second time, we ordered bites, including a pizza flatbread, golden potatoes with different accompaniments, and of course another cheesecake.
