    the interior of a restaurant
    Ian M.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Lots and lots of options on the menu. I especially appreciated the lactose free milk availability. I forgot to ask for less sweet, but even still I was surprised that it wasn't grossly over-sweet. I got the dirty hokkaido and subbed for regular boba instead of coffee jelly as I'm not a huuuge coffee fan. The flavor was great and I enjoyed the balance of coffee to tea. The shop was nice and I liked that they had board games to make for a fun hangout spot. I'll be back to try more of the menu.

    [Review #740] 2023-026 Drinks Order: BROWN SUGAR BOBA MILK with BROWN SUGAR HONEY BOBA, LYCHEE BUTTERFLY LEMONADE with CRYSTAL BOBA, WATERMELON LYCHEE FRUIT TEA with RAINBOW JELLY I came up over Independence Day weekend to visit my aunt. Instead of our usual dim sum restaurant, we went to her back-up Vietnamese restaurant for some noodles & bánh mì. It was hot, hot, hot, so of course, we had to cool off with some boba, & Boba Garden just happens to be across the street. I bypassed the restaurant's boba drinks due to taste & execution issues. BG is located in The Shaw Marketplace, south of Chase Bank between Quest Diagnostics & Cosmo Prof, off Shaw Ave.; still in its soft opening, the shop doesn't have permanent signage yet. Inside, the dining area is bright & spacious with a table full of games to entice patrons to relax & hang out, hopefully buy more drinks. There's a nice wall mural & bench for pics to help market their brand; I think they should update it with some flowers or succulents to showcase a garden theme to tie-in with their name. To further enhance the sit & drink experience, free WiFi is available (current PW: #bobagardenfresno). From a marketing standpoint, the location isn't likely to draw a lot of traffic & it's not anchored with restaurants that may have customers stopping by for a dessert drink. Instead of my usual order of multiple drinks, I thought I try one before I buy more & ordered from the creative series: brown sugar boba milk with brown sugar honey boba (think tiger milk tea). I didn't change the sugar or ice level... the drink was well-made with sufficient serving of boba, cooked to al dente with QQ chew; however, boba flavor is slightly muted, barely tasting the brown sugar & honey. With 100°+ weather, this milk tea was refreshing & perfect counter to central CA's summer heat wave. Menu is standard: creative series (which includes toppings), smoothies, matcha series, slushies, coffee series, fruit teas, milk teas, macaron ice cream, croffles (croissant + waffle), snow ice; toppings are 75¢. The base price points are higher than South Bay, which I can still get a drink between $5 - $6 with or without toppings, pending on the boba shop. Creative & matcha series comes with toppings, assuming the topping complements the drink, not sure if substitution is allowed or if there's a surcharge for substitute if allowed. Closer than our preferred boba shops, Boba Garden cultivates a decent menu with slightly higher pricing, though seemingly competitive in the area, that will grow on you. Recommended: Brown Sugar Boba Milk with Brown Sugar Honey Boba.

    Really cute backdrop
    Maria F.

    This Boba spot is deliciously good, the tapioca is one of the best I've had so far, it's soft and smooth. My daughter loves boba, we've tried most of the best spots in Fresno/clovis. Hands down, best are the AC Deli bobas, "the banana one " and rare tea is really good, also Boba pub (but this one i might just be bias since it's by State , Go Dogs) It was our first time at this location (since I have a nine year old and the shop two doors down its a smoke shop , but overall area wasn't to bad) . It's super cute inside, they have a cute white bench to take pictures In front of their big backdrop. The service was good too, she was nice, would definitely come back , despite the area.

    Mini Mochi!!! my fave is the creme brûlée
    LuLu Q.

    Happy to have a new spot for yummy drinks and snacks So excited I found mini mochies.. tried these last when I was out of town and can't find them anywhere. Crowaffles!! what?! so flaky, light and a hint of buttery sweetness. I opted to go with a side of condensed milk.. WOW This place has a chill vibe, very clean and cozy. A little game corner to pick board games from to hang out with. Will definitely come again.

    Inside

    One of the newest Boba business that popped up in Fresno. I ordered during happy hour, so it's buy two get one free. I got the Hokkaido milk tea, matcha milk tea, and wintermelon milk tea. The Hokkaido was great, very strong tea flavor and was aromatic. The wintermelon milk tea didn't taste quite like wintermelon but more like a house milk tea. Not too crazy over the matcha milk tea because it lacked matcha flavor, it was too milky. All drinks can be modified with level of sweetness. The establishment is very neat and clean. I like how simple the decro is. Very spacious and have plenty of seatings. The owner was very friendly and nice. She was the only one working at the time and my milk tea came out at a timely manner. Definitely room for improvement, I'm indifferent about the drinks. Will review again when I go back :)

    Strawberry matcha, melon, and peach tea
    Emily T.

    My fiance and I came here through some good yelp advertising! We're kind of creatures of habit but decided to try somewhere new for a change. They had a promotion going on for the month of December-- buy 2 get 1 free. We didn't need 3, but why not? We ordered a strawberry matcha, melon, and peach green tea. While the boba was very good & well cooked boba, the flavors were hit or miss. Strawberry matcha (3/5) was too sweet as its not fresh fruit rather a puree/syrup. I ended up leaving it overnight for the ice to melt, and it was much better the following day. The melon (0/5) is a light green melon reminiscent of melona ice cream bars or hi-chew. This was a step above the sweetness of the strawberry matcha, and tasted very artificial. Unfortunately, we didn't finish this one and threw it out. The peach green tea (4/5) was the right amount of sugar with moderate peach flavor. I would probably give Boba Garden a 2.5/5 based on the drinks we ended up with, but the staff was incredibly helpful with explaining the flavors to us and the store was very clean and well-designed. However, I prefer more fresh fruit forward beverages. The price point is about $6-7 per drink with one topping (e.g., boba) added.

    Hokkaido milk tea, 0% sweetness
    Ines B.

    The ambiance in this shop is very cute and there's board games available if you wanted to come by with friends. I ordered the Hokkaido milk tea with 0% sweetness and it was super good! It did still taste a bit sweet but as someone who doesn't like overly sweet drinks, I enjoyed it! I saw they make it from a powder which probably has some sweetener included. The tea reminded me slightly of the taste of black tea with oat milk, which I enjoyed but others might not. Service was quick!

    Crofflez
    Lulu C.

    This place is fairly new I think. I haven't seen it here before but it's a perfect spot! It's right by the ramen vs pho and the GameStop. You can make a day of it! We went to GameStop and I had a hankering for something sweet. We stopped in here and saw a few sweet treats. I landed on the croffle with strawberry cream cheese. I thought there was gona be strawberries on top. There was not. But that's okay because it was totally delicious and different. It's a regular croissant but put into a waffle iron. It comes out super crispy and hot with powdered sugar and the cream cheese. It was legit. They have plenty of seating and fun games to play while you sip and munch.

    Nutella Croffles
    Galaxy C.

    Great service and from what my auntie said their drinks are delicious. I'm about to try the Croffels When I bit into the Croffle I realized why they're named that way. They are croissants crisped with powdered sugar! They are delicious!

    Strawberry lemonade butterfly tea
    Elizabeth S.

    New fruit tea lemonade series! This is the strawberry lemonade with butterfly tea. Perfect to refresh yourself in this hot Fresno heat.

    Staff was friendly and helped me kindly with the recommendations. Ended up getting the champs peachy watermelon slush and it scrumptious
    Alas J.

    The staff here is very friendly and helpful with the recommendations. I ended up with the chamoy peach watermelon slush n it was very refreshingly scrumptious.

    Boba Thai Tea

    I love boba so I was very disappointed to taste this. I tossed it out after one sip. The milk tastes bad/stale. It doesn't come with boba pearls, which makes me wonder why they call it boba? I should have walker out when I saw that no one was in the store but I ordered this $6.25 boba, which was a disappointment.

    Pork sausage spring rolls and 2 sauces
    Shaun M.

    Stopped in for a Dirty Thai tea with grass jelly and noticed they had spring rolls. They're made fresh to order I got 3 of the pork sausage and they come with 2 different sauces a house sauce and peanut sauce they were both so good and for only $11.50 plus some tax. I've never had spring rolls like this they have a nice crunch and super light and filling lunch. The staff was super friendly and helpful when ordering and the place is nice and clean

The sweet corn lacked flavor, you can only get a hint of it. There were a few corn pieces mixed in, but they were few and far between, plus they didn't have a strong corn flavor either. I loved the concept but execution was disappointing. The treasure chest was very good, though I personally wished there was a more even ratio of brown butter cookie to brownie. I can't recall if I even got any brownie pieces. Flavor was excellent otherwise. The other complaint that I have is that the scoop is small. As you can see from my photo, my two scoops looked like 1 scoop. Not worth the price. I know competitors like Han**ls, where I'm a regular at, have given bigger scoops. All in all, still a great quality ice cream.
