    Went in on a Tuesday afternoon and it was pretty empty. Ordered via the kiosk/iPad because it was my first time and I like going thru the menu. They have a lot of good and unique drinks, such as Pistachio Matcha which I'll definitely try next time. I got the mango sago and it was delicious. Super creamy, not too sweet, and had plenty of sago. My mom got the brown sugar milk with no boba and she enjoyed her drink as well. Simple but good. Our total was about $14 before tip. The inside has plenty of seating which is nice. Service is quick and our drinks came out in like 3 minutes. We sat and chatted for a bit but the music was a bit loud and they were playing Rap/Hip-Hop which I love, but was a bit much when we were just trying to chill and chat. Overall, would be back for the drinks but probably not a place to hangout as it's loud.

    Vietnamese milk tea upgraded for additional $1

    Standard boba place that offers milk tea and juice drinks. No food options available. Ordered the house vietnamese iced coffee and creme brulee milk tea. Both drinks were delicious, better than most places that offers similar drinks. Vietnamese coffee is strong and does the job for caffeine kick. Creme brulee was enjoyed by my friend and she looked pleasantly pleased. Seating was okay, not very comfortable. The atmosphere had a strong cleaning smell that was off putting. Parking is awkward so be careful.

    I've been coming to the Castro Valley location for a while now since they've opened! One things for sure, Boba Bliss has consistency on lock, no matter which location you visit. You always know you're going to get a good drink. Lately I've been having the pistachio cream jasmine milk tea. It's light, creamy, with a hint of nuttiness. This place gets pretty busy on weekends, but the turnaround time is pretty quick.

    Super cute coffee lounge. Got the Vietnamese coffee and the Oreo cookie puff cream both were delicious. Self ordering with screens above while you wait. Music was playing when we came so it's a pretty chill vibe.

    Strawberry mint green tea

    Got the strawberry mint green tea -less sweet, which was refreshing with ample strawberry bits throughout the drink. Fast service. Pricing on their ordering tablet doesn't fully match the posted menus FYI.

    natural uh taro milk

    One of the best ube taro drinks I've ever had! This was my first time having Boba Bliss in six years and I had to stop by while in the bay! I ordered ahead of time and my drink was ready when I got there. I ordered the natural ube taro milk and this drink was so goo! You can definitely tell they used real ube in this drink. The hint of taro also made the drink refreshing. I was so happy to try this again after a long time. I hope to com back again whenever I'm in the bay! :-)

    I've been going to Boba Bliss since their original location in San Ramon, and I am SO happy to see them thriving in their Castro Valley location! We popped in here for a nice cool treat on a Sunday afternoon. The kitchen was hustling and bustling, but a worker saw us walk in and immediately came up to the register to take our order (even as he saw us approaching the iPad). Such a nice touch when most people would prefer ordering through an iPad. My matcha latte was delicious, and the space was clean with plenty of tables to sit at.

    Pistachio jasmine dream
    Angeli S.

    Was craving boba and decided to try out boba bliss. I heard that parking is a bit hard so we did end up doordashing. Ordered one of their seasonal drinks: pistachio jasmine dream and it was super delicious. It was a light drink and the pistachio cream on top was just the right amount of sweetness. I did order the drink less sweet in case the cream came out too sweet but it was perfect. The jasmine paired really well with the pistachio flavor and I totally enjoyed the pistachio bits. Can't wait to try another drink!

    As someone who isnt the biggest boba person but this is the only place I actually enjoy! Theres always a line but it moves relatively quick with friendly service. Theres some seating inside to hang out and wait. We always get the strawberry matcha and creme brulee boba. Looking to try the new pistachio matcha drink soon :)

    Strawberry mint green tea with lychee
    Billy L.

    I'm not usually a boba person. Honestly, I think the last time I went to a boba shop was six years ago. This past Friday was really hot and my housekeeper was at my place, so I wanted to treat them to something refreshing. At first, I thought about Jamba Juice, but when I saw it was $9 for a small drink, I decided to look around for other options. That's how I found Boba Bliss. The prices were way more reasonable, so I ordered three strawberry mint green teas with lychee, one for me and two for my housekeepers. I have to admit, this drink kind of changed my opinion on boba shops. It was really good. The flavors all worked well together, and I loved that it came with lime slices and fresh mint inside. The size was bigger than I expected too. Definitely felt worth it compared to Jamba. I wouldn't get this every day since it's more of a sweet treat for me, but I'd definitely come back and try other popular drinks. I placed my order through the app, pickup was super easy, and my drinks were ready as soon as I walked in. The only downside is the plaza, it was packed with high school students and parking is a total mess. Overall, Boba Bliss surprised me in the best way. I'll be back.

    Seasonal menu

    I've had Boba Bliss before from San Ramon a few times and always ordered the Watermelon Lychee drink during the Summer. Fresh fruit & classic Jasmine iced green tea? Heck yeah it's refreshing! I decided to try weekend special Green Thai Milk Tea after having a sugar overload with 7 Leaves' no sugar adjustment version a few weeks prior. I got 25% sweet plus grass jelly and lemme tell you-- PERFECTION! I'm soo craving that drink right now. Green Thai flavor shines through with fresh milk making it all creamy-licious. Grass jelly added a bit of silkiness. My friend got a mango matcha and a mango sago for her son at home to enjoy. Drinks were layered nicely and tasted great. Customer service was pleasant too. There's additional parking in the back but could potentially get sketchy/only room for one way at a time. I'd for sure go back when in the area!

    Still a 10/10 all day every day. Pistachio jasmine tea is so good I hope it doesn't just stay seasonal

I'm really sensitive to artificial flavors, especially in milk tea, and I can usually tell immediately when a drink has added flavoring. I've tried pretty much all the popular boba spots around the Bay, and honestly, most of them taste heavily flavored or artificial to me. But Goolu Tea is different -- their drinks taste clean, natural, and the tea itself actually comes through. At this point, I barely even crave drinks from other boba shops anymore. Still waiting for my favorite Golden Tea to make a comeback.

This was actually my fourth time coming here, and unfortunately I've noticed the quality has steadily gone downhill. This visit was especially disappointing. The tea was extremely bitter, so I politely brought it to the staff's attention. The younger employee tried to help and asked an older employee for assistance. Instead of addressing the issue, the solution was simply to add more sugar to the drink, which did not fix the bitterness. What really left a bad impression was the customer service. The older employee came across as rude and condescending during the interaction. After this experience and the noticeable decline in quality, I don't plan on returning at all.

Not only are you able to purchase from their bakery case, you can also request to have desserts made for special events! (In advance of course.) I very much enjoy their macarons and fresh fruit tarts. They also added Banana Matcha to their menu when it became a craze, and I 10/10 would recommend it. They use high quality matcha powder (Marukyu Koyamaen) for their drinks. This is one of the few things that drew me into their cafe. The baristas are extremely friendly and have a wonderful sense of humor, AND they support small businesses! While you wait for your order, you can browse their shelf full of crystal candies, matcha sets, candles, and they may also have Natsume matcha tins available! (This is not the matcha they use in their drinks, but it's nice to have other options available to buy.) ^^ So if you're in the East Bay and are looking for a business to support, go to Always Yours Bakery Cafe (they're also available on the Too Good To Go app)! They have beautiful outdoor seating available, as well as cutesy seating indoors. Not sponsored or anything, I just wanted to review one of my favourite cafes in Castro Valley. ^^

    My teen and I were craving some matcha on our way to get groceries and found this spot on Yelp ofc!…read moreSan san is located in the small shopping center off Williams, right before you get to the schools. Parking is a little weird and very limited but luckily for us, we found a spot on the side of the building. There were two young ladies working the store and the menu is basically posted everywhere. My daughter and I immediately gravitated to the banana matcha latte. We also saw they had yummy croissant pastries available, so we decided to give that a try. What we got: 1. 2 banana matcha lattes- 4/10 the matcha was okay but we tasted no banana to it besides the slices of banana. The pudding tasted like regular vanilla. Overall just not what we were anticipating. 2. Brown sugar boba milk? - 0/10 This was just milk with a bit of brown sugar syrup. (See pic) I actually dropped this off to my other daughter and she said she just couldn't drink it. 3. Strawberry croissant- 8/10 This was actually good. The strawberries with the jam and whipped cream were very good. Don't get me wrong, service was fine. They also had a few great items but the actual drinks were mid. I think the matcha needs to change or maybe making it more paste like could help boost the flavor. The brown sugar latte was just not it.

The drinks are also excellent and I really liked the taro drink with fresh taro. It'll be nice with even a little more taro or taro paste.

Everything is sweetened at 50% so you can gauge what you may like in your own drink. I've been coming to this teaspoon since they took over the Quickly that occupied this space. Let me say this was one of the best things to happen to this area. This particular teaspoon sets the standard high on efficiency and quality of their products. I can't remember ever saying my drink tasted wrong or took too long to make. The workers are always on top of their game. You can also save some time and order online through doordash. They're usually very quick with online orders. We usually get either the lychee on lychee, peach oolong or the guava sunset. As mentioned, their drinks lean on the sweeter side even at 50% so if you want something more light definitely opt for 25% sweetness and less ice. For fruitier drinks I usually opt for crystal boba but honey boba works too if you want a chewier texture. Overall can't wait to be back and highly recommend.
