    Boba Unit Cafe is still my favorite matcha spot in the Greater Sacramento area! I've been coming here pretty often for the past 1.5yrs and they've been open for almost 2 years now. (So glad they started a rewards program now!) I'm glad their Uji matcha supply has become much more consistent because it used to sell out frequently when they first opened. The quality is really good, and it's my go to whenever I don't feel like making my own Japanese brands of matcha at home. Once you've had amazing matcha in Japan, you're ruined, and it's hard to settle for anything less lol. I also appreciate that every matcha is made fresh to order. They don't even offer their matcha drinks on DoorDash like they do with their other drinks, which I think shows they really care about serving it at its best. A lot of people recommend Offbeat, and I do love it! but Boba Unit's Too Much Matcha has become my favorite. The matcha foam top is delicious, and you have to sip instead of using a straw to really enjoy it. I think Offbeat's foam is slightly better, but to me, Boba Unit's actual matcha drink tastes better overall. I think people sleep on Boba Unit's matcha because of the name. Since it's called Boba Unit, I'm guessing a lot of people probably don't realize they serve really high quality matcha here. Another big plus is that Boba Unit is open every day and always has plenty of parking (I hate street parking), which is something I really appreciate. I do wish they opened earlier than 11am. I'd love to grab a matcha earlier in the morning, but I usually just go at 11am when they open so I'm not drinking it too late in the day and staying awake all night. The only other downside is the store layout. If you're meeting with more than one other person, the large table at the front is really the only good option. Since it's right next to the register and where everyone lines up to order, it doesn't feel very private if you're trying to sit and chat for a while. The two person tables along the hallway toward the back aren't as inviting, and the lighting back there kind of sucks. But anyways, if you're ever in the area, give it a try!

    Good drink options! [Roseville CA] After having lunch across the parking lot I stopped by this boba shoppe for a little sweet treat. I usually like blended/smoothie drinks and they offered four with delightful flavors: Mango, Berry, Strawberry and Grape. I went for the Oreo Berry: Berry Smoothie topped with crushed Oreos. Oh, and with boba topping. Very clean and nice and bright inside with natural lighting. There was ample seating. The table seating (good for 2) against the wall each had its own wall socket where you can plug in to charge your electronics. My Oreo Berry smoothie was refreshing and yummy. The boba had a good consistency and chewy except they were a bit hard. Not sure if they were undercooked or if it has been left to sit too long after cooking. They currently don't offer snacks at this boba cafe. Instagram: @bobaunit_cafe Review #4024

    Mango mania
    Carol P.

    Too bad I'm not a matcha fan because Boba Unit is the place to go! My friends loved their banana matcha and mango matcha. I've been on a mango kick, and I was excited to try the mango sticky rice drink that I saw on Yelp. Sadly, they discontinued that item, so the staff recommended the mango maniac (I got it w/o the grapefruit with 0% sweetness). It was perfectly smooth and creamy with a nice texture that was just thick enough. I could tell by the naturally light sweet taste that they use real mango to make it. They are fast with getting the drinks out, even when they got an influx of customers. The staff was a friendly younger guy who was very patient and helpful with questions about the menu. Service itself was 5 stars. The place was clean and simply decorated with light wooden furniture and some fake greenery. It was a calm and inviting space, although seating is limited. Definitely returning if I'm in the area!

    Strawberry Matcha
    Abby B.

    I've tried a lot of matcha spots, but Boba Unit Cafe seriously surprised me. I got the Strawberry Matcha and it was SO good. The strawberry at the bottom reminded me of that strawberry syrup they put in ice cream sundaes, and it paired perfectly with the matcha. Not overly sweet, just super refreshing and honestly one of the best drinks I've had in a while. I'm literally craving another one already. Cute atmosphere and definitely worth stopping by!

    Too Much Matcha
    Viv H.

    Everyone I've brought here always likes it! The space is small but nice for hangouts and the menu has options you don't always see at other shops. The owner/manager(?) is also always super friendly whenever I see him. I'm glad they're open on Tuesdays now! Grapefruit tea: 8/10, very refreshing Rose lychee: 8/10, not usually a floral tea person but it was tolerable for me! Pandan milk tea: 7/10, the pandan flavor is not too heavy/likely an extract, but I do like the coconut milk and toppings.

    Matcha Brulee and Melon Matcha
    Abram S.

    Finally brought back their matcha brulee. Honestly my favorite drink at boba unit and it always keeps me coming back. It was off the menu for a while but it's finally back so please keep changing up the menu but don't leave out the OG drinks. Will definitely be coming back for that ceremonial matcha. Best place in Roseville for matcha drinks The restaurant is pretty quiet and has plenty of seating. You can come to just chill and talk with friends while sipping some tea .

    Cute little boba / matcha spot in Roseville, which is located in the Trader Joe's plaza. The interior has a nice sophisticated aesthetic to it. Makes for a chill place to hang out and enjoy your drinks. Tried the: - White Rabbit Matcha which is matcha with a scoop of their house made white rabbit icecream. I tasted the icecream alone before mixing it with the drink and it was good. I give this drink a 9/10. - Pandan Milk Tea which is a Pandan x Jasmine milk tea with toasted coconuts and Pandan jelly. This drink was a miss for me. The idea of it sounds amazing, unfortunately, I didn't really taste any Jasmine, and I could tell they use Pandan extract and not fresh Pandan leaves to make the drink. The Pandan jelly in the drink was good, but again, I could taste the Pandan extract in it. It (either the jelly or the drink or both) also stained my tongue green for hours ): I give this drink a 6/10. The matcha quality here is good and I'd come back again to try other items.

    Thai tea matcha
    Annie T.

    Back again for their matcha and it never disappoints. Boba Unit Cafe has officially become our family's weekly stop because the drinks are always consistent, the atmosphere is cozy and family friendly, and the staff are always welcoming. Their matcha is honestly one of our favorites smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced every time. We love having a spot we can count on to relax, catch up, and enjoy quality time together after busy days. Definitely one of our go-to comfort spots!

    Cute little boba shop with a few seating and parking. I got the Thai tea which was not memorable to be honest. I couldn't really taste the tea, it kind of just tasted like milk. I also couldn't try it with the cream since they don't have any of those sip cups and when I tried to mix it, I didn't really taste a difference. I also tried the mango matcha which was also alright but it kind of just tasted like only mango, I could not taste much of the matcha. Maybe next time will just stick to the matcha as other people were saying. Otherwise, the service was really great! The guy at the front was very friendly and helpful.

    Came by on Saturday evening and it wasn't too busy. No line so service was quick. I wanted to try the pandan milk tea but they were some out so I opted for a Thai milk tea. I wasn't a fan of the whipped cream that comes with the Thai milk tea. I love whipped cream on its own, but it didn't mesh well with the drink to me. Easy parking in this big lot. Couple tables and chairs if you want to hang out. There was enough seating that we could sit down while waiting for our drink. Not sure I'd come back to this particular spot and I'm still on the search for my go-to boba place in Roseville area.

    Menu
    Jeannie K.

    Boba unit is one of the best in the area! They use high quality ingredients and get their matcha from Japan! Staff is friendly and service is quick. I tried the Oreo berry blast at 25% sweet with oat milk and it was the perfect sweetness. The banana matcha was very creamy and still pretty sweet at 50%. They continually change their menu with new seasonal drinks so follow their Instagram for updates when new drinks come in

    Matcha yuzu and smoothie
    Lauren C.

    Finally a decent Asian drink shop in Roseville! I got a matcha yuzu drink which was light and refreshing. My husband got the strawberry mango smoothie-which was so AMAZING-it made me which I got that instead. Both drinks were great, will definitely return when we're in the area!

    Matcha Einspanner
    Amy N.

    I come here almost every weekend for their Matcha x Matcha! I tried the Matcha Einspanner once but I'm not a fan of whipped cream. Their prices are on the pricier side but I like their matcha latte a lot more than other places, they definitely don't skimp on the matcha. I went on a hike today and my $8.50 matcha x matcha was the sole reason for making it back to my car after getting lost.

There was a cute photo background on the back wall.

I had done that same mix at a Thai restaurant Yelp event where they had set up a drink bar, so I knew it would be good. The balance of a strong Vietnamese coffee and the sweetness of the Thai tea blended perfectly. Next visit I will try their halo halo or avocado shake, both of which have good reviews.
