Interesting enough, I guess this place is called Boba "Bless" because the owners are religious/probably Christian, which I didn't realize until I came in. Nothing wrong with that but thought it was interesting because the walls have pictures of their missionary trips and there's some religious decor around. The employees are REALLY nice and friendly. In these times of automated kiosks and lack of in-person communication, I appreciated it a lot. You still order at a kiosk, but they greeted us and told us what they recommended and asked if we had questions. We got the guava spritzer at their recommendation, as well as the roasted oolong milk tea. Guaza spirtzer was very refreshing on the hot day, and I really liked the roasted oolong milk tea. It was the perfect fragrant strong tea flavor I haven't found lately at most boba shops. Definitely would recommend this place for people who love tea. read more

A blink and you'll miss it adorable little boba place, not commercialized but full of a feel-good loving sincerely sweet vibe. Several tables inside and tucked away in the alley, the only way I knew it was there was they have a little blackboard jiggling their drinks. Live their photos and the owner very friendly and down to earth. read more

Five stars for friendly service and interior. It was nice to be greeted by a person as I walked in and not a kiosk. Something you don't see all the time anymore, along with seating and tables. This place has a cute cafe interior to sit in, chat, or work. If you're on an introvert kinda day, they do have a kiosk and online ordering if you want to keep to yourself or keep it no contact. Owner shared some background on the mission of their shop, they're out to do good and spread the love. I was offered I think four different samples of fruit milk teas which all tasted great and I'd come back for them, but for the first visit I went for the assam boba milk tea, 25% sweet, which was just right. Boba had perfect chew. Also liked that they offer the smaller (formerly regular!) size and it wasn't watered down or overly milky. Will be back. read more

Excellent service. Hands down the best hojicha milk tea I've ever had. First time to try the taro cloud and will order again. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended! read more

Boba was soft, chewy, tasty and sweet! Got an oolong tea and was balanced just right. Parking is kind of crazy on this busy street but there are a few spots on edge where you can park short term of about 25 min max read more

12/10 stars !! Walked in and was greeted by the staff (I think owner too) and they were so nice, conversational, and personable. Offered us samples and I loved all of them but had to go with the mango jasmine! The tea was so good... I love when milk tea still tastes like tea and not just milk haha. Not to mention the boba was very fresh and warm. I was a quick in and out order but I saw people peacefully sitting doing laptop and book work, so it looks like it's a nice place to be productive. I especially like the open windows by the bar stools too. I really loved my experience at this place! Will be returning for more if anyone is interested, they are gathering folks in the community and handing out drinks to underserved communities and the homeless on Thanksgiving day. They really stand for good things and I understand the meaning behind Boba Bless. read more

Stumbled upon this modern boba shop after a massage next door!Young and friendly staff. They greeted us and also asked if we needed any help. Ordered the mango sago ($6.50) and Guava Jasmine Green Tea ($5.75). Both were according to our order of sweetness and ice level. Drinks were flavorful. We also got the regular size. Price point was ok. I'm picky with my drinks and I like this place. Coming back to try other drinks! read more

Ceremonial Matcha Latte is amazing!! I've tried a lot of different matcha places and I always come back to this one. Their matcha latte has a great blend between matcha and milk. Not watered down or too milky like other places I've tried. Also it's not too sugary, which I loved. I ordered my drink with house milk and less sweetness. Cute place to do homework or hang out. My favorite spot to sit is in front of the big windows. Service is 100/10, the staff are welcoming and they offer to adjust the drink. Overall, great place!! read more

I enjoyed my most recent visit to Boba Bless in San Mateo! The owner there is super friendly and personable while also offering free tea samples. The service is great and it's also a pretty comfortable place to hang out or get work done. There are a couple kiosks you can use to order so the ordering process is pretty simple. I ordered the Large Four Seasons Milk Tea with Boba with total being $7.25 which is pretty standard. The large is truly large though compared to their small size. It's almost doubled in size which makes the upgrade to a large much more worth it. The boba is also great. I liked the soft chewy texture while being just sweet enough. The tea I got at 75% which I think I should have gotten a little lower, but sometimes it's hard to get an idea of how sweet a drink from a boba shop on your first experience. The owner was also nice enough to tell us to let him know if there is any need for sweetness adjustments. I thought the Four Seasons Milk Tea was really tasty and has a really nice strong tea flavor. Would recommend trying this boba shop out! read more

Wow service went above and beyond! The server was super nice and offered a variety of samples to try. We sampled roasted oolong and 4 seasons and I think assam? Soooo good! You can really taste the tea. I ended up getting 4 seasons with no sugar and it was so good! :9 the server also gave us Thai tea jello, also really yummy! I like the interior too, pretty cozy. Overall, highly recommend and will be back~ read more

New boba store in San Mateo and by far the friendliest boba store I've gone to in my life! From free samples to choosing a drink, every encounter here has been so kind, helpful, and friendly. They're known for fruit flavored ones, but lemme tell you their non fruity is good too! Their Thai tea is really strong and quite good - I also like they offer it in oat milk so it's a bit less heavy. Boba was chewy and fresh! Their roasted oolong also had a good strong tea taste that paired well with oat milk. It also feels great putting boba money towards here where their team has a history of international missions to help others globally! The vibes are immaculate, and I mean it in the original holy way. Friend came in with a headache and left feeling better. Boba Blessed!! read more

I've been here twice in the last week and can't say enough about Boba Bless. Let's start with the obvious...the tea is great. I always start with milk teas when I visit a spot and then eventually venture out to other drinks. Twice now, I've stuck with their milk teas because the brew is on point. And then the unobvious...the owner here does so much amazing stuff for the local community and the world. They've traveled to build homes and even install water filtration systems. Locally, they head out to civic center and take care of our homeless population. The owner is real, super friendly, and can tell you about his journey and what he hopes for the future. Another plus? Goodness, their Thai tea jelly is delicious. He had us try some samples and I'm so glad I did. Lots of layers to Boba Bless. Can't help but make this my go to spot every time I'm in the area. A well-deserved 5 solid stars. read more

I was walking around downtown on July 4 in the hot sun and needed a cold drink. I was happy to find Boba Bless open. I got a guava Assam black tea and it was cool and refreshing. The regular cup size for $6 is on the smaller side, which was fine for me, because I did not want a big sugary drink. There was ample seating (for a boba shop anyway) and the staff was super nice. I can't wait to try more drinks on their menu! read more

Amazing experience! All of the workers are so nice! I ordered 6 drinks for my coworkers and I. Service was fast and efficient. Super great atmosphere. Very clean, great service, definitely will be returning read more

Wonderful new boba shop that has extremely high quality tea! The shop feels bright yet calming, and there's plenty of space to drink and chat. The staff are all really nice and offered a number of samples to us. I loved that you could actually taste the strength of the tea in the boba, versus a lot of other places tend to water down the tea and focus on other flavors. Will be back to try more of the menu! read more

New place to check out and was a bit skeptical. I was glad to still try it as the drinks were delicious for its price. I had a few samples and the staff were very friendly and nice. I got the mango passion green tea with aloe Vera and had some samples of yellow cow (super nice refreshing slushie), peach assam, guava green tea, lychee Assam were all really delicious. The sweetness is perfect not so sweet even for regular level. They have some board games for people to hang out and play. Space were spacious and welcoming as well! Would love to come back again to try other drinks -especially since I drop half of my drink as I was heading home so really upset about that! read more

The owner is super kind and the store is always clean. I've tried their fruit tea with coconut jelly and matcha. I was surprised that their coconut jelly actually tasted like coconut. The matcha is a bit strong, but tastes better than some of the other cafes in this area. read more

All the five-star reviews here are absolutely justified. As soon as I showed up, the very friendly guy behind the counter offered me a bunch of samples, which made choosing an order extra difficult because they were all delicious. Service was excellent. The location is central and yet quiet. What a great find! read more

I know, I know, yet another boba shop in San Mateo? What makes this one so special? We stopped by to look at the menu and one of the owners (Sam) warmly invited us in to try a plethora of drink samples. The tea flavor is decent and not watered down. You can customize sugar and ice levels, and there's also non-dairy alternatives. Samples are on the sweeter side, so I requested less sugar in my actual drink, and it was perfect. Keep an eye out for more drink options coming in the next few months! The space is dog-friendly and also very cute inside, although it's on the smaller side. I also love how they do charitable work! Your money goes a long way towards good deeds. I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

Boba Bless is located on a busy and main street in downtown San Mateo. Parking was nearly impossible on the weekend when my friends and I stopped by, I ordered online and walked over, while my friends circled around looking for parking. Honestly, they were a bit hidden, so it was pretty hard to find. Once I found them, it was all positive vibes from there - while the shop is small, they have a good amount of seating inside, and they have a very modern and welcoming feel to it. After having lunch nearby with my friends, we came here, as I had tried all of the other many boba shops in downtown San Mateo already. Not going to lie, but I walked in without high expectations, so I would not be disappointed (which is like at least 80% - 85% of the time). The owner, Paul and employees were so friendly and welcoming. Paul offered me some of their samples they had out, he poured all 3 of them for me to try and he even offered to make any other drink on their menu I wanted to sample, which I politely declined. He really tries to connect and keep a conversation going with his customers, which you do not see much anymore, especially at boba shops. I went with my go to drink at most boba shops - a Jasmine Green Milk Tea with boba and my friends shared one of their speciality drinks - their Let That Mango (Mango Oatmilk). I enjoyed my milk tea - I was going to get 50% sweetness, but 75% sweetness was recommended on the ordering app, so I just followed the recommendation, which I am glad I did because it was a good sweetness at 75%. I ordered it with less ice, which still was cold enough. My friends did not really care for their drink, and I also tried it and thought it was just alright. Overall, I enjoyed my milk tea, but it could had been a bit creamier, and of course the service was great. read more

Been here twice so far, the service is amazing. They always have about 4 drinks for you to sample. Amazing flavor combinations!! I got their mango jasmine milk tea and also their guava green tea this time and both were perfect. The peach assam milk tea was probably my favorite. I would suggest getting less sweet. The crystal bobas had the perfect texture too. Their interior is very welcoming, a bunch of seats and very quiet inside. Perfect blade to grab a drink and study. read more

Boba Bless is so good! My sister got the hojicha latte and usually doesn't ask for ice since most hojicha drinks tend to get watered down--but not here at Boba Bless. The hojicha was concentrated, deeply flavorful, and not overly sweet at all. It actually held its richness from the first sip to the last. I got the wintermelon latte, which was perfectly balanced and sweet, with a smooth, creamy finish. It had just the right amount of richness without feeling heavy or artificial. The boba itself is consistently excellent with chewy pearls and the perfect texture, not too hard and not overly soft. The drinks are well-balanced and not overly sweet unless you ask for it, and you can tell they don't cut corners on ingredients. The strawberry chocolate is also super good with flecks of macadamia nuts and strawberries within each piece. The owner, Paul, is genuinely warm and present, remembering regulars, taking time to recommend drinks, and making sure everything is just right. It really adds to the experience and makes the shop feel welcoming rather than transactional. Definitely a new go-to spot for quality boba and thoughtful service. read more
