My favorite place to study and work in the vicinity. Gorgeous seating, calming music and fast Wi-Fi makes working here extremely pleasant! The workers are also kind and accommodating. Their drinks lean a bit on the sweeter side, which generally works for their egg coffee. I recommend the popcorn chicken here with their house sauce. Overall, it's very aesthetic and cozy to work in. I definitely recommend it at least once for students or remote workers! read more

Beautiful and aesthetic tea shop, but drinks were okay. Matcha cookie was alright, didn't really taste like matcha. :P For such an elegant looking shop, the bathroom could use some love! Zero toilet paper available , trash filled to the brim with paper on the floor and it's only 3pm. Not a huge deal but thought it was interesting how bathroom had no mirror read more

The service is usually really good, especially tonight. The guy at the cash register was patient when my little sister wanted to say her order all on her own. It's always nice to see familiar faces since we come here quite often. The prices are standard and if you get the larger sizes, I think it's worth it. We love getting the samplers here with the chicken wings (crispy like how we like it), popcorn shrimp, and fish balls! read more

This place was great. We had got the pot stickers and got medium spice and it was fantastic. It was crispy and great flavor. We also got the brown sugar milk tea and that was also quite good. The service was quick and quality was also there. The environment was also very nice and calm and well decorated. Overall a pretty good experience. read more

First impression, this boba store interior is really pretty, I love the design so much, very upscale and elegant vibes. They offers variety of boba drinks and finger food on their menu, their pricing is at average in San Jose area. As soon as you enter the store, you will see the cashier station with a mini cabinet display some of their baked goods and two kiosk for self service on the side. We placed our order through the kiosk and didn't have much interaction with the staffs so no comment on the service, drinks came out after 7-10 mins of ordering. For the taste, my Avocado Smoothie was bland the first time I got it to-go, I learned my lesson and increased the sweetness level by 25% more on my last in store visit but it still bland... My friend got their Strawberry Tea and she really like it, I tried some of her and the fragrant of the strawberry really impressed me, sweetness was balance as well, tasted very refreshing. It was an okay experience for me regarding the drinks, but they definitely passed the vibes and aesthetic check! read more

Came here a couple of times after the gym. I've been to the Brokaw Ave location before, so this location has a similar vibe but with different furniture. Another difference is that the kiosk is more prominent. This store's located in a busy plaza with a popular gym, two grocery stores and a really popular banh mi place, so while there's plenty of parking, it's sometimes hard to find a spot. The drinks are comparable to the Brokaw Ave location. I haven't tried their hot food, but the cookies were good and it's a nice size for the price. I like the seating better here for sitting down and catching up with friends. Service is pretty fast and the staff are friendly. Would recommend to others for a chill place to hang out! read more

Raising my review to 4 stars! The owner reached out and invited me back to try their Iced Coffee drinks. I ordered the Iced Tiramisu coffee which was fantastic. Great customer service and the second coffee drink was a total win. My daughter and son also enjoyed their Buried Treasure drink. Thanks for making it right! Much appreciated Christie. read more

What makes this place unique is the Viet coffee drinks. You can add an extra shot to really give your drink a kick. Great quality . However, I docked it one star because manager not really looking out for the employees and some skimping behaviors on the menu. Egg coffee 5/5 Sounds weird but it's actually pretty good. There's no real egg taste but it's very creamy topping and it works well with a strong coffee base. Salt coffee 5/5 Salt coffee is a creamy white top layer slightly salty as an interesting contrast to the sweet coffee. I normally add an extra shot and go for 75% sweetness. Interior 5/5 - Well designed , modern bright and comforting. Plenty of tables combined with individual chairs and bench seating. Labubus make it fun. Soundtrack 4/5: Energetic dance music pumping in the background.Good vibes. The bad 1/5 1. Tip goes to manager . You will get asked for a tip at the end of the kiosk order and I found out later from an employee that the tip goes directly to the manager and they don't receive it. Not cool. You're better off giving cash directly to the server if you want to tip. Update Nov 3, 2025. Asked a different clerk 2nd time ( 3mos later) at to see if the tip goes to the employees. The response was no. Only cash is best if you want to tip! Still kinda sus for the management! 2. No ice option = $0.50 Ever since Starbucks did this kind of sneaky trick by loading up your drink with ice people have been ordering drinks with no ice. This doesn't work at this location. You're going to get charged extra . read more

Coworker got me the banana cream matcha 16oz half sweet from Bobaholics. I give it a 6.5/10 because it's just alright. It's not the worst but not somewhere I'd come for the matcha. The matcha taste a bit watered down for my liking. However, half sweet was good. The banana cream is good itself . read more

Their jasmine milk tea is always my top choice because it has a strong tea flavor and comes in a large size. The popcorn chicken is also a favorite of mine. However, the pricing is getting quite expensive, a large drink with a double topping easily comes out to over $10. They even charge extra for no ice, which is rare for boba shops, and the standard topping portions are much smaller than at other places, forcing me to always pay for double toppings. Additionally, their morning timing is inconvenient. Even though they open at 10:00 AM, the boba pearls weren't ready when I stopped by at 10:45 AM; it seems you have to wait until noon just to get boba. Lastly, when buying multiple items, they don't provide a bag or a cup holder, making it very difficult to carry. The food and drinks taste great, but it is expensive and the topping sizes is disappointing. read more

There might be a bit of a wait, but the food and drinks are good, despite being a bit pricey. I tried Bobaholics for the first time. I ordered the ube coffee with oatmilk, 25% sweet, and less ice and the 3-item sampler box with chicken wings, crab rangoons, and mozzerella sticks. read more

I visited twice and ordered through the kiosk both times. Service was quick; the place has A/C and comfy seats so it's a nice place to sit and chat. The cup size is pretty big but the drinks (Thai milk tea and Hokkaido milk tea) are okay at best. Wouldn't drive just to get these drinks but would consider visiting if I go somewhere nearby. read more

I ordered at the kiosk Very easy to maneuver the menu The inside is very pretty and elegant looking ,the dinks came out after about five minutes,all the drinks were very delicious and rich in flavor but not overwhelming Great place to catch up with friends or have study sessions Would recommend! Small interaction with staff was also nice and welcoming so the service is pretty good as well read more

Came here to meet a friend in this area and we thought it'd be good to stop by for a drink. There atmosphere had a relatively classy vibe, with white tiles and a decent amount of seating, and it was unusually crowded. My friend said it normally wasn't like that so I'm unsure if there was some kind of special event, but we had to wait a little to even be able to use the kiosk despite there being two alongside the regular barista. I decided to get the Strawberry Dream Latte, which was around seven dollars. The drink was sweet, refreshing and creamy, which was good. Also No Ice was an extra charge (though I got less ice so this didn't really impact me) but milk alternatives had no extra cost. This is probably one of the few places that I've been to that allows milk alternatives to be free, so this is a nice bonus. Overall, Bobaholics has lovely drinks and a lovely atmosphere, and I wouldn't mind returning again. read more

You can't find many places that offer Hokkaido milk tea these days and I don't know why! Such an underrated flavor. Hokkaido milk tea - 5 stars. That's all I come here for! They have a huge variety of drinks and snacks and there's something for everyone. This spot shares a parking lot with the gym, so it can def be a little hectic. They have tons of seating and it's super spacious for studying. read more

I came here to say to get a few drinks with my friends, after one of my other friends recommended the place to me! I ordered the Banana Cream Matcha and my friend ordered the Crème Brûlée Thai Tea. In my opinion, the Matcha was pretty watered down, and was really liquify, however the Banana Cream itself was really good. I got 75% sweetness which I thought was perfect, but then again the watery texture threw me off a little. I also tried my friends Thai Tea, and in my opinion it was really good. I recommend to get 75% sweetness or less though, since it's REALLY sweet. The service was really good, we ordered 3 drinks and it came out within a few minutes of ordering. Place is also really nice for studying too, and interior was very modern and pretty! Overall 4/5 experience! Wish my matcha wasn't so liquify but maybe it was just today, so I'll definitely give it another try. read more

Excellent boba and beautiful aesthetic inside! Plenty of seating if you aren't in a hurry. There were a lot of options for drinks. Snacks seemed a little expensive for portion size. The barista forgot the crystal boba in one of our drinks, and they were completely out of honey boba on the Sunday we visited. The crystal boba mishap was an easy fix, though. read more

When my kids and I walked up to this location the outside was pretty plain. But once we walked in I was blown away because it was so cute inside. There was so much greenery and cute nooks for some selfies or photo shoots. My kids enjoyed placing their order on the self serve touch screen. It made it easy since the menu was on the wall right in front of the screens. There were two ladies working behind the counter. They were both very friendly. They had a nice variety of snack options as well. We order some popcorn chicken and French fries. read more

Friend and I went here. It was easy to order through the kiosk, but we noticed that their food items used AI, which was disappointing and you wouldn't know what your actually food order would look like. We enjoyed our drinks, they weren't bad and it was a large portion. We got popcorn chicken which was not that great. The space itself was clean, with opened tables. Not sure if they still use AI for their food images on their menu, at the time (December) they were using it. read more

Cute place with nice decor, no AC though despite it being quite hot today. Nonetheless they have a menu with nice variety and some unique drinks such as the Banana Split Milk Tea which is what I got. Tastes super good and I like the portion for the price. Also, huge plus is you can opt for an alternative dairy such as oat and almond for no extra charge! Quick service considering it was pretty empty on a Monday evening. Would recommend giving this place a try! They also have lots of snack options too. read more

Listen, stay as far away from this boba place as possible. After I drank their drink, the next day I thought I was going to die. I'm not allergic to anything, so I know it wasn't some random reaction this was straight up food poisoning. My stomach was in complete agony, constant throwing up, and nonstop diarrhea. But it wasn't just that my head was pounding like crazy, I couldn't stop sweating, I felt burning hot, and at the same time, I had to throw up and go to the bathroom all at once. I ended up in the hospital for two days because of this. This was not some random thing their food safety is trash, and they should shut this place down. No one deserves to go through this. read more

Great customer service! My kid had a swim lesson in 10 minutes, so I asked if they could make the drink quickly and the server was happy to help without hesitation. It was my first time ordering here, and I went with 100% sweetness, which turned out too sweet for us. Overall, it's a nice spot with friendly service. I like to support local businesses, and this one is definitely worth five stars! read more

I've seen this place on tiktok and was meaning to go and I happened to be in this complex! I have medium high standards for boba and I don't think a lot of milk teas wow me anymore but the taro here was SO GOOD. Went with a big group of friends we got: taro latte 5/5 - very sweet and has that thick taro texture, usually not a fan but very good . I would personally get it less sweet taro / ube coffee 5/5 - I think this was more balanced in terms of sweetness , I think this is tied w the taro latte cookies and cream milk tea 5/5 - again a solid drink! def on the sweeter side but it was good! would get maybe less sweet compassion tea 4/5 - refreshing!! just not a fruit tea person personally and this was the least sweet and a bit tangy but it was really good still banana split milk tea 3/5 - this is what I got lol, I got 50% sweetness it tasted like green tea and laffy taffy banana, came w chocolate and strawberry foam. In the first sip I didnt like it at all and then later as the chocolate came down it got a lot better.. still tasted like a lot of weird flavors together .. like a milk tea jamba juice.. idk I would get something else next time like the taro fried tofu 3.5/5 - got this spicy, with house sauce and sweet chili sauce. These two sauces tasted exactly the same idk what happened there. The tofu was well prepared but def needed salt This inside was also so cute ! big couches and really comfy chairs, well lit, well decorated and not too loud! it was spacious and a nice place to chill service was fine - mostly ordered in the kiosk Would def come back here if I was in the area read more

I've been wanting to try this place out since they opened their first location on Brokaw Road in San Jose many years ago. When they opened this location off of McKee Road, I realized how close it was to my beloved 111 Bakery which is also in the same plaza as Bobaholics. The outside looks a bit rough with a banner for their store logo but I quickly learned judging a book by its cover can backfire. In this case, it sure did. Inside, the layout is inviting with ample seating along with a spacious area for self-ordering and for picking up drinks. It is aesthetically pleasing inside with modern fixtures and has social media friendly photo op areas too. I had heard the Creme Brulee Lattee with boba was the "it" drink here so I wanted to find out if that was true or if it was all hype. I ordered a large drink with extra sugar and added boba pearls with light ice. It came out rather quickly and when I drank it, I immediately thought of a brown sugar milk tea. It had fresh milk, chewy boba pearls, and it felt like some clusters of sugar to emulate the creme brulee. I would definitely order this drink again but would be fine without the extra sugar clusters. I do plan to come back here to try out other drinks and perhaps even their snacks! read more

Great location next to banh mi, groceries, and even a gym. Ample parking with the entire plaza and solid interior with good amount of seating and a calm atmosphere. In addition to drinks, they have a nice selection of food and pastries. I appreciate the offering of XL cups even if it's slightly overboard (great for sharing though). Jasmine Milk Tea w/ Boba - a bit sweet for my liking even after adjustments but the tea is potent with a splash of milk. Strong floral taste and refreshing. Boba was chewy but could have better flavor. Vietnamese Latte - typical Viet coffee, strong with condensed milk. Great wake up for a road trip or even a long day. Pricey 16oz though, would consider picking up a tea or other drink at the same price for more volume. read more

This is Bobaholics' second location and newest. It is located in ESSJ by 24 HR Fitness, Chavez Market, etc. This weekend only, Sat, April 27th to Sun, April 28th, they were running a BOGO. Cute, white tile, white interior place. One bathroom only. A few tables with chairs and booth seating to relax in. Two kiosks to order from as well as the cashier. Service is nice, helpful, and friendly! My wife ordered her favorite... Creme Brulee Latte: brown sugar topped with housemade custard and torched with raw sugar. I tried a different drink. Brulee'd Thai Milk Tea: Thai Milk Tea topped with housemade custard and torched with raw sugar. Both drinks were good. read more

Did it satisfy my boba craving? Absolutely!  I went here during their weekend special of buy one get one free boba! It was simple to order on the kiosk and pick up at the counter. The service was good, straightforward and friendly. They increased the indoor seating area with light-tone modern and simple interior. I thought it was cute and I liked how well ventilated it was. Only downside was their music was super loud so I felt it would be difficult to come to study/work. I could barely hear them call out my order number. I ordered the black milk tea with 25% sweet and love potion with 25% sweet. I thought the flavor tasted okay. It was probably not too tasty because I selected a lower amount of sugar.    There is ample parking and it is located in a busy plaza with 24 hour fitness and some local stores nearby. Free wifi: yes! It is located at the counter Clean restrooms: yes read more

I had some time to kill and felt like having a milk tea so I went to my handy dandy Yelp app and found Bobaholics nearby. I've been watching my calories so I asked for something not very sweet and the clerk recommended a Jasmine milk tea. I got it with 50% sweetness and 50% ice and it was perfect! The jasmine flavor was delicate and not too strong but with plenty of flavor. It was after a recent rain so the sun was partially out and there were even rainbows! It was a perfect moment to enjoy my drink and get some fresh air. If I'm in the area again I will try something different as there are many things on the menu. Props to the clerk. She greeted me nicely and provided a great recommendation. read more

This is a refreshing boba tea place in San Jose. Clean, great service. The taste was good, the price was reasonable and the servers are friendly. The one thing I was disappointed was when they ran out of food, they didn't post or inform the customer in time time to pick up the food. And they have to do refunds back which is ok but I was so looking forward to the fry calamari. Go foodie read more

They also expanded and created this open area with a bunch of seating for hang outs or study sessions! read more

I decided to check out Bobaholics after seeing a few videos of this place online. I wasn't sure whether I should get the double matcha or crème brulee latte but I ended up going with the latter since it's the best seller. The creme brulee latte is very milky and sweet. It has a thick layer of custard and brown sugar. I was disappointed because I was expecting a little coffee taste but there was none or it was overpowered by the amount of milk. Even with adjusted sweetness level, it was too sweet for me. Still good as a once in a while treat but I think I'll try a different drink next time. But I appreciated the generous amount of custard! It was creamy and one of the best crème brulee topping I've had from a boba place. They have multiple kiosks to order on and you can place your order at the cashier as well. I came in at around 10 AM but it was quite busy already. Luckily, my drink came out fast. The store is well kept and very beautifully designed. It's clean with plenty of seating and tables. I'll come back to try the double matcha next time I'm in the area :) read more

Tried this place for the first time with my kids. They thought it was cool inside. Very clean inside. There's two touch screens to order from and one cashier for cash users. Plenty of space and tables to sit at; we did come at 2pm on a Tuesday. Im sure this places gets busy on the weekends. Creme brulee latte is very sweet ( i did chose 100% sweet- some other boba shops say 100% sweet but the drinks aren't sweet at all) The best part for me- they have creamer options- whole milk, oat and almond and something else. The honey boba was cooked to perfection, nice and soft and chewy. My kids liked they're drinks too. read more
