    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!

    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.

    Guava jasmine green tea
    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.

    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!

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 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.

There's a self-ordering kiosk at the front that takes place instead of a real person taking your order. There's 3 tables to sit and do work or just chat with friends. We got our drinks pretty quickly after ordering. Drink: Strawberry Matcha Einspanner (8.2/10): Super creamy matcha latte! The default is 50% sweetness and it was honestly perfect. I got this drink with whole milk and the matcha combined very well into the drink with no clumps or separating after initial mix. The strawberries tasted very fresh and added a nice tartness and sweetness to the drink! Would definitely get again when I'm in town.

    TL;DR: expensive drink but worth every penny…read more I popped by on a random weekday afternoon after a client meeting and was looking for a sweet treat. There was no line at all, so my drink came out really quickly. Service was efficient, and basically non existent since you order on your phone, and pick it up from the counter. They have some seats indoors and a few benches outside, it's pretty spare and basic inside which is all you really need in a cafe. I saw a lot of people getting takeout, and some small groups around tables chatting. I was debating between the matcha and houjicha, then got intrigued by the black sesame, and finally after much internal debate, decided that black sesame + houjicha would work best together and wanted the einspanner. They honestly have so many intriguing options like Earl grey matcha einspanner??? Banana pudding?? I have to come back. My only complaint is the price but I guess everything is expensive these days. $8/9 for one of these drinks hurt my heart though. On the flavors: while I wish there was more black sesame (I always do), this was one of the most satisfyingly black sesame items I've had from a cafe. It went really well with the toasty roasty notes from the houjicha and I think they added enough of both amidst the milk to make it a very satisfying drink. This can be rare because a lot of places drown out all the flavors with too much milk. The best part though, was the einspanner - the sweetened whipped cream on top really brought the whole drink together and was so delicious. It made it just that little bit more decadent. I got it at minimal sweetness and at first though it wasn't enough, but I was glad I did as I worked my way through the cup, it was perfect.

Pickup was at the San Mateo location, which is right by the caltrain station. Its a super small storefront for carryout only. They have a kitchen but most of the cakes are made at other locations and brought over for pickup. Unfortunately we were not super impressed by the biscoff crepe cake. While the design was cute and the crepes were thin, there wasnt enough biscoff creme (only about 1 layer for every 4-5 layers of plain vanilla creme) for the flavor to really come through. For a special holiday flavor like this, we expected a stronger biscoff flavor. If theres a special again, we'd be willing to give another flavor a try!

They also have a nice outdoor patio if you prefer sitting outside. Seating inside is limited. Overall, I'd definitely come back. While the drinks are a bit on the pricier side, the unique menu and inviting atmosphere make it a fun spot to visit, especially if you're looking to try something different from your usual coffee order. On my next visit, I will definitely need to try more of the desserts that they also sell.
