Marie M.

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!

James W.

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.

Jenny W.

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.

Michael Y.

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.

Veronica P.

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.

What an wonderful addition to San Mateo! Yes, there are plenty of Boba spots in San Mateo, but this one is different.

The beverages are really spectacular. Let That Mango is like a dessert in a cup - creamy mango with oatmilk - WOW! The Guava Green Tea is so refreshing and unexpected.

Amazing experience! I've been to all the Boba shops in San Mateo but this one has a different vibe on it. I don't know, maybe the new refreshing flavors they have, mango oat milk my fav, or maybe the owners Sam and Paul who greeted us warmly. I can tell they're genuine, very down to earth. They made us feel we've known each other for a while now, like family. I actually feel blessed that I found this place, with very reasonable pricing which I have seen only back when Boba first came around in San Mateo like 2013. They have something here.

I rarely leave reviews, but had to for this incredible boba place that recently opened! We've tried all but one of the boba places in downtown San Mateo at this point, and this is the best one imo. It compares extremely favorably to even the best boba places we've been to (which trust me, is high praise considering how many we've gone to not just in CA but around the world). The tropical fruit flavors are awesome (guava, peach assam, lychee) and the taro latte was also a standout (mentioning this in particular as I think fewer people order it, but it's actually the one we've gotten the most number of times!). You can tell the quality and care are there - tea is steeped just right and they use real fruit chunks too. Beyond the quality of the boba, the staff have been universally friendly and nice - you'll have a smile on your face if you're lucky enough to chat with them! They also have excellent decor, whether it be the awesome wall clock or the fun turtle shrine on the shelves. We're already regulars here and plan to try even more of the menu - never been disappointed by anything we've gotten, and we're hoping this one becomes a permanent fixture in San Mateo! read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but this place is unreal. My friend and I were looking for a place to sit and draw for a couple hours and we're so glad we found our way here! The staff were super warm and friendly and offered a ton of free samples. All of the drinks we tasted were fantastic -- I adored the mango jasmine milk tea (one of the teas of the day) and would absolutely recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth. I would say that comparatively the drinks here are on the less sweet side, but the flavor was great. :) The inside was clean and when we arrived there wasn't a crowd, so there was plenty of seating. A fantastic way to spend a Friday afternoon, and quite possibly the best service experience I've ever had getting boba. I'll definitely be coming here again! read more

So many boba shops in downtown San Mateo but this is my favorite. It's fairly new but the ambience and the employees is what makes it exceptional. The view at the front entrance of the shop has a folding window that overlooks the street. The interior has a world map with pinpoints of places where the owners and their family has been serving people and I don't mean boba. During off season this family takes time to build homes for the less fortunate. Oh yah....and I haven't even talked about the drink. I had the mango tea with boba. The drink is perfectly balanced so that it's not over saturated with syrup that you can't taste the richness of the tea. The tapioca pearls are perfectly done so that it's not too chewy or sweet. This could make or break the drink. All I have left to say is that I'm "blessed" to work so close so that I can visit anytime I want read more

It was sweet, tart, and refreshing. It was what I needed and was gone in minutes Next time, I have to order two drinks. 2. Green tea (hot) : My aunt loved this and said it was better than other places. I think this is one of the first places that I've been to, where they had a lion machine. Instead of a coffee machine, it was for teas. It was nice to see each tea made to order. The line and people seem intimidating but it goes by quick. Will definitely be back soon

The taro flavor was mild and leaned more sweet than rich or earthy. I was hoping for a stronger, more natural taro taste, but it felt somewhat diluted once everything was mixed together. Texture wise, it was okay, though the "tornado" swirl didn't really add much beyond presentation. Service was fine and the shop itself is clean and cute, which makes it a decent spot to stop by if you're already in the area. Overall, not bad, but not memorable either. I might try a different drink next time, but the Taro Tornado alone wouldn't bring me back.

Very spacious, quiet and there weren't any crowds (a plus). Did not wait long for them to make my drink. I really enjoyed the creme brulee matcha swirl. Because of the creme brûlée it makes the drink thick like a consistency of a milkshake. It was a bit sweet and the matcha is very smooth. It almost brought me back to when I had my matcha fix in Kyoto. I recommend this if you want a matcha experience like in Japan. Matcha is top notch and I will be back again. And at the time of this writing, I did end up going again but to the Cupertino location which they had Hojicha. Two thumbs up.

I came in around 9am and they were already sold out of some items, but I did manage to get my hands on one of their famous croissants! I ended up getting the Pistachio Raspberry Croissant and Chocolate Chip Cookie. Both pastries are PHENOMENAL. The Bay Area truly does have a fantastic pastry (especially croissant) scene, but Backhaus is definitely up there. I loved how well the flavors came through in both, and the textures were great.

The chocolate croissant was just as good, featuring the perfect balance of sweet and slightly bitter chocolate wrapped in layers of buttery, flaky pastry. The latte, topped with a leaf design, was rich, smooth, and flavorful. It provided the perfect pick-me-up while making a headache disappear. The café offers plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, with additional space upstairs and downstairs. Friendly staff, a welcoming atmosphere, delicious pastries, and good coffee make this cafe well worth a visit.

This stop was…read moreabout halfway between SF and where we were staying in Cupertino, so it was perfect before our long SF exploration day! We stood in line to order for about 20 min, and everyone told us it was worth waiting on! It turned out to be VERY true! The food was out of this world, the donuts were SUPER yummy and we the service was wonderful! I can only speak for my plate, but I ordered the "Amazing Breakfast Sandwich" and it was DELICIOUS!!! Let me break it down for you: 1. The bread was sourdough - but it was SO MOIST and SQUISHY! Unlike your harder, toastier sourdough bread. 2. the turkey bacon and cheese were tasty and hearty on this sandwich 3. the arugula was fresh and added a clean taste to the bite 4. The garlic aioli was the PERFECT sauce to go on this sandwich. It gave it the aromatic flavor it needed! (I took off the fresh tomato due to allergy!) I still think about this sandwich!!! The hashbrowns were good, they were a solid choice. They make it on the crunchier side which I LOVE! Pictured there are the cinnamon bun and the maple cake donut, which both were SO GOOD - especially the cinnamon bun. The bun was a perfect balance of the cinnamon, glaze, brown sugar and dough. The maple donut was comparable to some of my favorites! The donut dough was not my favorite, but the maple glaze made up for it! I topped off my meal with an iced tea! :) I want to go back to San Francisco JUST for this breakfast again! Highly!!! Recommend!!!

I stopped by a boba shop on my way home and had the pleasure of meeting the owner. He recommended their Thai tea, slow-cooked for 10 hours--and it was absolutely phenomenal. The flavor was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness, no adjustments needed. Be sure to add the boba too--it's incredibly soft, chewy, and delightfully satisfying. I loved every sip and can't wait to go back! read more
