    Visited on Saturday evening, it's quite empty, ordered via kiosk and got our drinks right away. Creme brulee Thai milk tea was pretty good, creamy and smooth texture, we opted for large size 32 oz, it's a good choice for two to share.

    Nice cafe with some seating, a total of 2 outlets, and free wifi. Drinks are more expensive but they are a bigger size than usual. The creme brulee croffle is just tossed with sugar and served with a little container of cream. It was good though and $5. Store is not too busy and nice to do work at on a Friday :)

    It's been a really really long time since I last visited but since I was in the area grabbing dinner... why not make a quick stop since I was thirsty. The menu offering @ Bobaholics is huge. The snack menu alone will leave you in awe. Here you will find teas, milk teas, coffees, smoothies, & lemonades. Things only get more interesting with all of the different ways to customize your drinks. Add some popping boba, an assortment of jelly bits, add an extra shot of espresso, or top your beverage with some cream??? Whatever your heart desires, Bobaholics is sure to have whatever you're in search of. Purchases: *COMPASSION FRUIT TEA *VIETNAMESE COFFEE *ROASTED OOLONG MILK TEA + HONEY BOBA & EGG PUDDING Drinks are good- refreshing, tasty, and well balanced with the sweetness. The boba is perfectly chewy and while the pudding was a little skimpy, it was good. Staff is friendly, service is quick, and your orders are made to your liking/requests. 4 stars. I'm tempting to come back and try out their snacks...

    Quick service and lots of seating available. Great spot for studying (spacious, good WIFI, outlets accessible). Got the viet coffee and the fried tofu, yum! Love the aesthetics here. Would come back.

    I came at lunch time and here's my experience: 1. Ambience (5/5): it was surprised me because the inside was totally different from what I imaged :). It was big and very clean. The decoration was very elegant and bright. There were plenty of seats when I came. Hidden Easter egg:). 2. Service (5/5): we almost served ourselves using kiosks at the front. We ordered from the kiosks and got the food at the cashier counter. The staff were very helpful and nice when I asked for some water and a sharing cup. 3. Food (3/5): - Matcha with mango and honey boba (3/5): personally, I wish it had more matcha flavor. The boba was normal, and the taste was quite bland. One plus was the drink was not too sweet. - Chicken popcorn (5/5): it was hella good:). Very tender and flavorful. The meat was not too dry and it hadn't too much flour. One plus was that it had skin, so yummy. - Calamari rings (3/5): I thought they would be some thick, circular rings like the ones I've had at other places before. It was quite chewy and not too fresh. By the way, I liked the squid tentacles. - House special sauce: good, matched well with the fried food. Overall, I loved the atmosphere here, it was very clean and bright. I lowkey liked the chicken popcorn a lot. Next time, I would try a new drink to give another review.

    Oolong Milk Tea
    Michael L.

    I was in the neighborhood and needed a boba fix so I decided to stop by. The shop is located in a strip mall close to the City Sports gym. It's on the side of the gym and there's a very close driveway on Oakland Road if you can spot it on your maps. So I ordered the Oolong Milk Tea with Honey Boba. Overall the drink was good and I would have independently given it 4 stars. However, I'm only giving it 3 stars because the guy/kid at the register was sub par. It looked like he didn't want to be there. I had a question about the differences between some of the boba offerings and I didn't get a great answer. There was another person there also and she brought out a food order for some other patrons. She also didn't exude customer service skills nor look very enthusiastic. There's a ton of interesting things on the menu and I want to come back but I'll have to see. There are too many other places around where the food and the service are notable.

    I ordered mango coconut with mango crystal boba, 40% sugar and ice in regular size. The drink was good and refreshing. Not overly sweet. Their menu has variety so may be another day to stop to try their food along with boba. I am so glad to find a place that has so many good options to make a boba drink without tea/coffee at the same time catering to boba tea enthusiasts. Also the staff is friendly and the place is casual and clean. If you not already know about them, visit.

    Menu full of options! I want them ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL!!! Money, cars, socks and Boba! Flavor town: * Banana split with strawberry cream! Whoa! * Banana cream matcha. Hold on now! * Compassion tea - oh someone slap me I've become a BOBAHOLIC!! Snacks?! Oh amazing! Nice portions. Piping hot. Service is also wonderful specific to the Caucasian guy in the front. Hello friend! All above outlined flavors are a total ball for your taste buds and are my absolute go to! The business is also beautifully and tastefully cute in design.

    I was in the shopping center nearby, running some other errands, and thought I'd stop in to Bobaholics for a drink. Fruit flavored teas tend to be my favorite, and I saw that they had some options. There were a couple issues, unfortunately... I ordered the peach green tea, and was expecting it to be just a nice light fruity tea. It ended up being a lot more floral than I had expected. Personally, floral flavors just don't do it for me. Would have been nice if that was indicated on the menu more clearly somehow. That's more of a personal preference thing, though. The bigger issue was that I asked for my drink to be 50% sweet. When I got my drink from the counter, the first couple of sips were intensely sweet, and the remaining drink wasn't sweet at all. I even gave the cup a swirl for good measure before I put the straw in! I'm used to most places thoroughly shaking/mixing their drinks when they hand it off to a customer. I'd give this place a try again, but I can't say my first impression was great.

    Love love the pandan waffles. Best by far! Drinks are tasty and oh can't go wrong with the popcorn chicken on the side! We were greeted and treated nicely. Clean new establishment. No complaints here. Thanks!

    It's been awhile since I last stopped in but noticed they have new coffee drinks, sell cookies, and remodeled. Compassion Tea: Green tea infused with mango, passionfruit, & peach (50% sweetneess). It was flavorful, fruity, and refreshing.

    Sunset sherbet
    Anthony N.

    This place is pretty decent for what i got. Im pretty sure its syrup but its not overdoing it since i can still taste the tea. I like the vibe of the store and my frinds also enjoyed the drinks they got. Just get less sweet if u know that they are gonna have multiple flavors. I would go back and get the sunset drink

    Alex Z.

    Bobaholics is honestly one of those places I like to come not only for the great drinks, but also to get myself a little snack. The crab rangoons are my favorite, there always piping hot. Service is fairly quick and even if it gets busy they have a cute seating area to relax while waiting for your order.

Usually, it isn't too crowded when I visit, so finding a table is easy. There also isn't much interaction with the baristas since orders are placed through the kiosk. I've tried serval drinks, including the banana matcha, cookie butter matcha, and corn einspannar. When I first tried the matcha, I thought it was just okay, it tasted pretty bland. The corn einspannar was definitely the standout at the time, although I got tired of the flavor after a few sips. I'm a huge fan of anything cookie butter, so I'm always looking for places that do it well. I decided to try the cookie butter hojicha, and it was amazing. The hojicha here is a 10/10! Later, I tried the cookie butter latte, and it was just as good. The cookie butter and coffee pair so well together. The main reasons I keep coming back is their cookie butter and hojicha.

I'm not from the area, and I will happily say that when I come to town, I will give this spot a visit. I've been here twice now, and the cookie butter matcha really stands out. It's a delicious and truly perfected drink. I haven't tried a combination like it before. I lovee the concentrated, earthy, and a hint of bitter matcha bottom paired with the sweet, creamy cookie butter cream top. They go together so well. The other two drinks I've tried are the Guava Jasmine tea and the Mount Everest Black Tea with Salted Cheese. Of these two, I liked the black tea more. The black tea was strong, and the Salted Cheese topping was a nice, thick consistency and a good balance of saltiness, sweetness, and cheese taste. I would probably not order the Guava Jasmine tea again. I was looking on this Yelp page for which drinks to order, and I was sad to find out that they don't offer their White Peach Oolong tea anymore, but Haiku has an easy-to-access website to order from in advance, so shoutout to that. I'm curious about the Corn Einspanner, so maybe I'll give it a try the next time I come back.

The inside is small and was very crowded since they had several vendors set up inside. It was a bit claustrophobic. I think it would've been helpful if the volunteers managed the crowd and organized the lines a bit better. On the bright side, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I tried the summer special, Mango Creamsicle Matcha, with 50% sweetness. The matcha was delicious, the flavor really came through. I love matcha so I'm glad it wasn't weak. That said, I felt like the mango flavor was too subtle. I'm not sure if it's because I adjusted the sweetness but I could barely taste the mango so it didn't give mango creamsicle vibes. I still enjoyed the drink though. I would like to come back when it's less crowded to explore the market and try more drinks without the crowds.

SEA CREAM JASMINE TEA: I usually like this drink from other locations, but when I ordered it here it tasted oddly like coffee. I've been weary of ordering it again. SEA CREAM BLACK COFFEE: Definitely can't go wrong with this item. The Sea Cream is delicious and blends well with the Black Coffee to create a taste that's not too sweet. GREEN THAI TEA: Another great option that is consistently tasty. Thai Tea with some floral notes. If you don't like drinks that are too sweet, I would recommend asking them to lower the sweetness.

The space itself is pretty large, with a good amount of seating inside and a few tables outside. There's also a decent amount of parking, and it's in a shared building with a brewery and other businesses. It has a bit of an unfinished warehouse vibe, which honestly makes sense for a coffee roaster. Only real inconvenience was that the restroom is locked, which feels a little odd for such a large coffee shop. Overall I'd still come back, but next time I'll definitely try an espresso based drink instead.

Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha.
