    Inside

    We visited here because I heard they have daily specials. This gem use to be Lollicup. Same management but I'm glad they're independent now. Parking: They're located in a large yet busy plaza. Finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: I absolutely love the interior! Super clean and bright. They have a medium sized space with a decent amount of indoor seating. You're literally transported to a London train station. Peep all the details! I was also told the luggage is actually from London! Service: Shout out to Sam and Nolan! Sam was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us their most popular recommendations & some tips about the drinks. Nolan was courteous, quick, & efficient! Food & drinks: Their daily specials alternate everyday at a constant price of $8.95. We visited on a Wednesday night, and they had their tofu + milk tea or Thai tea special. I'm not a tofu fan, but we decided to try their other foods. 1) Matcha cheesecake - My favorite! The matcha is sweet, and the cheesecake foam was sooo good! 2) Thai milk tea w/ boba - I really enjoyed this! There was an equal amount of tea and creamer. It was more on the sweeter side, but you can adjust the sweetness level. 3) Milk tea w/ boba - This tasted as expected. Can't mess up a basic milk tea. I got regular boba, and it wasn't too chewy. 4) Orange Creamsicle - This was shockingly not orange lol. The taste reminded me of a cream soda. It's perfect when you pair it with a savory food item. 5) Blueberry yogurt - Yummm! It tasted exactly as it sounds. The blueberry flavor definitely came through, and the consistency wasn't too thick. 6) Cookie butter cold brew - I'm not a cold brew person either bc I don't like watered down coffee. This was actually decent. I heavily mixed the cookie butter, and it gave it some flavor. 7) Mozzarella sticks - The cheese pull went crazy. If you love cheese, this is the perfect appetizer for you. 8) Gyozas - These were pan seared and filled with meat. The outer portion was very crispy. 9) Chicken & fries - Popcorn chicken served with crinkled fries. They don't season it, so make sure you ask for some spice. I sprinkled the spicy seasoning all over the chicken & fries. I wished they hand tossed it. 10) Bulgogi fries - Sooo cheesy and delicious! The bulgogi sat on the crinkled fries with a generous amount of cheese on top. 11) Chew Chew Katsu - My favorite dish! The katsu was absolutely crispyyy. There was a generous amount of rice & lettuce. Make sure to dip! The creamy mayo sauce was our fav! Pricing: Average prices for boba nowadays $$. I really like the theme. The drinks are fun and sweet. The food was perfect as snacks but could use some seasoning.

    What a cute boba place! I was intrigued by the name when I was driving past it and decided to give it a try. The inside decor is tastefully designed and executed. Love the curvy seat that can fit many people. Cool place to hang out with friends! I ordered the Strawberry & Banana Slush and Daily Special (I came on a Monday, so it was Cheese Sticks and Milk Tea or Thai Tea). I don't like my drinks to be too sweet so for both drinks I specifically asked for 50% sugar. The milk tea was fine but the strawberry & banana slush was exceedingly too sweet. I had to pour in some water and mix it to make it less sweet but of course it ruined the structure and taste. The cheese sticks were ok. The staffs were courteous. They were busy making the orders of a few customers before me and when they saw me in front of the cashier, they approached me and asked for me to wait for a bit. The place looks clean and well maintained.

    I finally tried Boba Chew Chew on a Saturday night around 8 PM. We weren't super hungry, so we just got small stuff--Bulgogi Rice, popcorn chicken, and fries. The Chicken Katsu was already sold out, which kinda sucked. We got Matcha Milk Tea with oat milk, and Strawberry Dairy-Free Milk Tea. They both were weak and barely had any flavor. The food was okay but nothing special--even though we live 3 minutes away, it was lukewarm by the time we got home. The Bulgogi Rice and popcorn chicken looked plain, like something from a grocery store freezer. The fries were basic, just regular fries. The café itself is cute and fun for photos, but it's not family-friendly--no high chairs or bathroom, so we had to take our food to go. Overall, it was overpriced especially for the drinks, and not that good. I wouldn't go back unless I just wanted a place to hang out for pics.

    I love the concept of this boba shop! super cute and esthetically beautiful inside. Prices are okay. They also have small snacks and personally the popcorn chicken is my favorite. They used to put the drinks in a "can" type of cup which is one of my favorite things about this place but I guess that changed bc now it's regular cups, but the taste is just as good Quick service and I've never had to wait in line to order (:

    What a cute establishment Boba Chew Chew is! I've been coming to this place on and off, and the drinks here are pretty tasty! I usually stick with my usual milk tea, and match milk teas as they're my favorite! The staff here is very friendly, and this place offers both self serve tablets, as well as in person ordering. There's plenty of parking in this plaza, so accessing the store shouldn't be an issue! Definitely give them a try if you have any boba cravings! They also serve food as well!

    Mirrella B.

    This review is so overdue! I love going to Boba Chew Chew. They have the best cheese foam. Their drinks used to be served in soda-like containers. During my last visit, I saw that they have an upcharge if you want a soda can container. The inside is very aesthetically pleasing. There are lots of areas where you can take pictures. They have a couple of tables and a long snake-like bench where you can enjoy your drink. I have tried a variety of drinks but my favorite are the lavender and jasmine milk teas with cheese foam. Sometimes it is busy. However, I haven't waited more than ten minutes for a few drinks. They have a punch card system if you visit often. Give them a try if you are in the area!

    My final review of 2024 goes to Boba Chew Chew, the cutest little boba shop tucked away in a strip mall near the local college. It's easy to see why it's so popular with the college crowd. The ambiance here is what really stands out to me--it feels like you're in a cozy train station, which adds such a unique charm to the experience. I tried the Thai Tea with boba, and while it was absolutely delicious, I do wish they offered more size options. At over $7 for just one size, it's a bit on the pricey side. Overall, though, it's a lovely spot.

    Cute spot with convenient parking. I stopped by for a quick boba grab with my boyfriend but watch out because getting a drink was not quick if that's what you're looking for. There were only two orders ahead of us, with one of the couples already waiting when we got there. It definitely felt like we were waiting close to 15mins for our drinks if not more. Now, I think because they make everything fresh, it does take longer, but I wasn't expecting that for what we ordered. They only had two people working, one of which was taking orders, so maybe that's why. There's some seating but only two booths if you want something more comfy or cute from an aesthetics standpoint. I think the drinks are good but didn't amaze me. That plus the long-ish wait nets this place at 4 stars.

    Check out this fire boba spot across from Mt. Sac! They've got awesome daily specials Monday to Friday where you can snack on classic boba cafe faves like popcorn chicken or squid balls and grab a drink for just $8.95! Their snacks are hot and crispy, and their milk tea and Thai tea are must-tries. Shoutout to our server for recommending the Blossom Snow!

    I got the pleasure of visiting Boba Chew Chew a few times. I've never had trouble with parking but I can see it may be a challenge during weekends or during prime time hours. There is no restroom. Cafe has great aesthetics and is so adorably welcoming!!!! Customer service has always had great vibes, no matter who the barista is. I've always enjoyed my conversations when I visit! So thank you for taking the time to talk to a customer!!! The coffees I ordered here, Vietnamese and Thai Tea coffees have been soooooo ridiculously good!!! I also ordered the popcorn chicken and mozzarella sticks - both good, I'd like to try their other food options! Thanks for offering such a great cafe experience!

    it's a train station themed boba tea shop across from Mt Sac. The decor is clean without clutter. The set up is cute. They have different selection of tea and fruit slushes. The service is good. The wait time was reasonable. The dalgona milk tea was unique, tasted almost like dalgona coffee. I'm not so sure about other drinks. Some are just milk tea with syrup. The topping I had was mini bobas, they were not over nor under cooked; provided tender chewy texture. The drinks are slightly on the expensive side but acceptable. Overall, it gets a 4.5 out of 5.

    Found this place on Yelp and was intrigued to come because of the decor. I was originally going to just order drinks but the food looked good. I ordered the Thai Iced Tea Slush with boba, Ice Caramel Latte Mocha, Watermelon Slush, chew chew chicken, and French fries. Thai Iced Tea Slush with boba : very good Ice Caramel Latte Mocha : To sweet for me & I like sweet Watermelon Slush : very very fresh and refreshing to drink Chew chew chicken : best popcorn chicken I have ever had Fries: also very good and the season was perfect I absolutely loved the decorations and the concept of this place. They put a lot of time and thought into this and I love it. The staff was great and everything was so clean. 10/10

    Blossom Snow with Popping Boba (Seasonal)
    Michael L.

    We've been coming to Boba Chew Chew for a little while now and this is one of our favorite spots for a quick treat, one that both my kids ask for by name. While I'm not one to typically rate for ambiance or service, this place really stands out in both of these areas. For ambiance, this place is just plain cute. The train theme is cute and clean, the seasonal decorations are always very well done, and my wife always snickers when Piccadilly station shows up on the flip board. Honestly, I don't think the boba tea section stands out too much in comparison to other places in the area (don't get me wrong, they're solid), but where this place truly shines for me is in their snows and service. Now, we have our favorite drinks, the seasonal Blossom Snow in the spring being our all-time favorite and the Starburst (tastes like Hi-Chew) being a close second for me, but what's great is that our kids can just name the fruits that they want and the helpful folks can give them a great recommendation every time. These guys go above and beyond and are more than happy to help you find the drink you're looking for. I'd say the pricing is a bit on the expensive side, but the texture of the snow and flavors are worth it. Don't be shy and ask for some advice from the baristas(?), they'll take care of you!

    I have a gift card. Is there an expiration date? Can it still be used after the date?

    Yes there IS an expiration date which is one year after the purchase date and it should be written on the front side of the card. It becomes invalid after the expiration… 

    What are your drink toppings?

    Our current toppings are: Honey Boba and Mini Boba. Mango Jelly, Assorted Jelly, Lychee/Coconut Jelly. Custard pudding, Milk Pudding, Aloe, Crystal Boba, Strawberry Popping Boba, Green Apple Popping Boba, Cheese Foam… 

    For your milk teas, do you offer soy/oat/almond alternatives?

    Thank you for your inquiry. We offer soy/oat milk alternatives only for Matcha Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Dalgona Milk. FYI, besides these three drinks, most of our milk teas are made of non dairy creamer.

    Are you planning to add the other flavors' popping boba back to the menu? I really want to have lychee popping boba in lychee black tea.

    We just got rid of couple of not "as popular" add-on toppings recently including lychee popping boba because I was advised we have too many topping choices and it was not only overwhelming to some guests but also, we were running out of storage… 

    Do any of your boba options not use honey? My sister is allergic so we will avoid the honey boba.

    Yes. Both of our Regular boba and mini boba are marinated in Honey. There is no other option for Tapioca bobas. However, we do carry other toppings such as Crystal Boba that do not use honey. For other topping options, please refer to pictures… 

    Is this a good place to do some work?

    Hello! While we do provide wifi for our customers, there are limited wall plugs for your laptop or any electric device. The wall plugs are not located in the booth area but are in front of our long bench:)

    Are there vegan options?

    Hello! We have tofu curry and veggie curry for vegan options. Most of our drinks are non-dairy as well.

Be careful backing in and out if you drive a larger car! There are two entry points towards the store, but if you enter on the left side, you'd be able to access the cashier.

They took our order: banana caramel latte, a yuzu tonic, and a warmed up plain croffle. We took a seat to wait for our items, which didn't take too long. Their banana caramel latte was okay; I probably wouldn't get it again. There was a lot of milk in mind and a fading coffee taste. The drink tasted similar to artificial banana and I didn't like that. The yuzu tonic was heavy in yuzu and not much coffee. The highlight would definitely be the delicious croffle! It was warmed up, flaky, and quite chewy. We regret not ordering two! The Outpost Coffee had fantastic service, ambiance, and croffles. Sadly, we didn't like their drinks, but wouldn't mind coming back to try something else! Especially since the pumpkin season is coming back!

I loved the industrial-style atmosphere, and it always felt like a cool spot to sit down, relax, and enjoy a freshly made specialty coffee. That's why I was honestly shocked by what I saw during my last visit. I came in one morning with a friend, and I watched the employee take pre-mixed coffee that had already been prepared and simply pour it into a cup with milk. There was no fresh grinding, no espresso being pulled, and no coffee being made to order in front of us. I paid nearly $7 for the drink, expecting a freshly prepared specialty coffee. Instead, the preparation looked more like a pre-made/instant coffee process. For a coffee shop charging specialty-coffee prices, this was extremely disappointing and felt very misleading. The atmosphere is nice, but for me, the quality and preparation of the coffee matter much more. After seeing this, I definitely won't be coming back.
