    Christmas has arrived early.
    Phil I.

    My co-workers and I would dine-in for lunch or after hours a great place to hang out serving boba drinks at a reasonable price. Bro and I came by on a Saturday morning shortly after 9 best time to avoid the crowd and shoppers alike. Menu selection is via kiosk payable by credit or cash which ever is more convenient. I order the taro ube milk 25% sweet.ness regular ice a popular Filipino drink with addeded condensed milk a mixture of creamy purple aroma. Bro choice Thai milk tea 25% sweetness regular ice a refreshing cool summer drink vibrant has a distinct taste. The cashier was super polite and greeted us as we came in. Definitely a top notch been coming out here for nearly eight years highly recommend whereas there are so many boba tea cafes a stiff competition only the strong survived.

    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...

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Mango coconut with mango crystals
    Tannu S.

    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.

    Now selling baked cookies!
    Lloyd C.

    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.

    Mali-Nelson O.

    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!

    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

    Really lovely little coffee shop that leans into that industrial warehouse vibe in the best way…read more The coffee was great--I ended up trying both on-tap cold brews on the day we went because I didn't realize that buying a bag of whole bean coffee came with a free coffee drink. With some coffees a second cup will give me a stomach ache (especially since I drink my cold brews black and bitter like my soul), but I had no problems with their cold brews! I also got the vegan stonefruit scone (baked by Sweet Dragon) and while a little on the dry side (common with scones), paired extremely well with the coffee and had good flavor. Husband got a cappuccino and a strawberry mini pie and was extremely pleased with his order. The service is friendly, but some things may have been new on the day we went. They almost forgot my cold brew until we asked at the counter, as well as stating that they didn't have anything to heat up my husband's strawberry pie (which seems odd, since a little toaster oven seems like a simple fix for that), but apparently it was fantastic at room temperature anyway. Seating was absolutely full when we got there and we were lucky to snag a table as another couple left, so it seems like a popular Saturday morning spot. Several folks were working on laptops, and it seems like a kid-friendly place. The decor is a clean and modern/trendy industrial style, which works well for the space, and the windows provide nice daylight. Overall, a good coffee shop and I am really happy to see vegan pastry options! My husband is getting into pinball, which was part of the motivation to come out and try Chromatic, so I am sure we'll be back again next time he wants to hit up Slingshot (in the same building), and I look forward to the coffee and treats!

The seating area is quite limited for the large crowd it attracts, making the atmosphere inside feel a bit chaotic at peak times. Fortunately, the baristas are super polite and work fast, keeping the long lines moving efficiently. The coffee menu and the retail bean selection are both impressive. I decided to try a dulce de leche coffee. While I was expecting a strong caramel profile of dulce de leche, the flavor turned out to be fairly subtle rather than prominent. It added a significant sweetness, but without knowing the order beforehand, identifying the exact flavor would have been tough. That said, the coffee itself was still refreshing The high quality of the coffee bean really shone through, delivering a rich aroma and the ideal caffeine kick for a breezy morning. Great coffee beans and fast service make it worth dropping in, even if the indoor seating situation is a bit tight.

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.
