    Love the concept of a Christian Boba place! It is refreshing to see such a place in downtown San Mateo. This boba shop was clean, simple, and inviting. They have board games available to play and even offer a worship group one evening a week. The customer service was really good. The drink I had was the brown sugar fresh milk boba and it tasted fresh not powdery. It had a good flavor and not overly sweet. I will be back again in the future for sure! 5 stars!

    Boba Bless is a good place to get matcha. The staff were nice, and even though the line was pretty long, the wait wasn't too bad. The drinks also came out fairly quickly considering how many customers were in the shop. I liked that they have board games available, which makes it a cute spot to hang out and bond with friends. The matcha was fragrant and had a clear, strong flavor. My friend said the matcha ube is the best in San Mateo, so it's definitely worth trying.

    All the drinks I've had here have been good! The matcha and hojicha quality I've had has also been very good. Favorite is probably the mango followed by banana and strawberry. I was pleasantly surprised by the milk tea flavor. The boba texture is good as well although I did not taste much osmanthus. I think the aspect I like the most is that even after the ice melts, all their drinks still have robust flavors.

    I stopped by on a rainy weekday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised! Boba Bless is a little further out from the main downtown San Mateo area, tucked away on a corner. I ordered a roasted oolong milk tea at 50% sugar to play it safe and it didn't disappoint. The shop is small but has seating and outlets available if you need to get work done. It seems to be a local spot that students and friends come to so it can get pretty loud. I'll be stopping by again when I'm in the area!

    Finally tried this spot out with my friend! There's unfortunately no air conditioning and there's a handful of seats inside. We ordered on the tablet and the drinks came out pretty quickly. The mango matcha looked so appealing, I knew I had to try it. Just wow. It automatically comes in the large cup size and it was so creamy and the fruit tasted so fresh. The matcha flavor was very strong and the boba was perfectly chewy. I couldn't even finish it and put it in the fridge overnight knowing the boba would probably not taste that great, but to my surprise, it was still chewy the next morning! I came back the next day because I was nearby and ordered their mango sago. No picture because I devoured it, but I didn't opt for the larger size. Highly recommend paying the extra $0.75 because the cup was more than half the size of the large.

    Great boba and great service! Thankful to have found a boba spot that represents my faith and gives such good vibes! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming - there's always a community of folks talking and playing games whenever I've come and their mango sago just takes the cake when it comes to yummy goodness! Their teas are not bitterly brewed and their sweetness levels are adjustable. Personalized boba cups to how I like them is always a plus!

    Great boba shop that has chewy boba and fun regular shaped cups. You order at one of 2 kiosks and 50% sweetness is all you need. They have good flavors and as other reviews have said, great customer service. There's a nice seating area with board games.

    Came by after dinner to get something sweet to drink. Found Boba Bless on Yelp with a stunning 5 star rating with over 100 reviews. We figure we'd give it a try. There are two kiosks for you to order your drinks from. I decided to go for their roasted oolong milk tea and my husband got their guava green tea with jelly topping. Honestly? No. There was barely any tea flavor in either drink and it was watered down. We ordered the drinks with ice but there was no ice in our drinks -- it was all melted. What was really odd to us was ... someone was bringing in ingredients in coolers? They might not have a fridge? Not really sure. Service was really friendly but I wouldn't come back for the milk tea.

    I went here for some boba cravings after dinner and went with the roasted oolong milk tea with boba large which was about $7. It's decent price for the portions and the boba was also pretty solid. Not the best but satisfactory. Fortunately, it was not strongly caffeinated as I was able to be sound asleep a few hours later. Service was good - the owner I presume that also made the drinks were nice to give me some free tea samples to help me decide what to order. That helped me realize the four seasons oolong was not my preference and went with a different option to thoroughly enjoy my drink.

    A star for the friendly (but slow) service and a star for the philanthropic vibes. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the tea. Perhaps I selected the wrong flavor, but guava jasmine green tea really sounded like it would hit the spot. Perhaps they were still new-ish and working out the little kinks of mixing up the concoctions? Perhaps it just wasn't a good day as the service was rather slow? I may never know the answer, but I do know this place was not it for boba. Tea was bland, sorely lacking in any green tea flavor and the guava tasted like soapy syrup - not sure how to describe it, but it was quite artificial. Bae's drink (not pictured) was not any better so sadly, we were 0 for 2.

    Boba with compassion!

    Boba without Borders! I think this is a great concept - boba with a good cause attached and community service! It was great to meet the community members and try the drinks, which were very impressive! The flavors were great! The people were enthusiastic! We will be heading back for the drinks too in the future! We liked the guava one, the mango one, and the roasted oolong - basically everything we tried.

    Cute boba spot! Favorite part about this place is how their exterior is set up with many plants! Only a few window seats and tables and they also have some board games on their shelf. Ordered through their kiosks and drinks were brought to us quickly. I got the Passion Mango Jasmine Green Tea with boba and aloe jelly. My friend ordered the Taro Milk tea with boba. Can't go wrong with these drinks, just the right amount of sweetness. They also have WiFi and outlets if you plan to do some work!

    Having opened last year, Boba Bless is one of the newer offerings in the boba saturated downtown San Mateo area. Located on 3rd close to El Camino, it is a bit removed from most of the hustle and bustle of the busy downtown. Yet this spot remains crazy packed on the weekends with patrons both ordering to-go, as well as dining in and enjoying the many tables and board games available. Although not very big, the shop itself has a very nice, open air concept with bar stool seating on one side facing open windows towards the street. The interior is well lit with both artificial as well as natural lighting. And the shop owners have done a great job decorating the interior to make it inviting yet modern. Service here is very friendly, but wait times are rather long due to the popularity. Highly recommend upgrading to a large, as their regular size is VERY small. There is also very little boba inside a small cup, so it does feel less than satisfying to deplete all the boba balls after a few sips.
