    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% sweetness regular ice a popular Filipino drink with added 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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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!

    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.

    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

Sweet enough to still taste like a little treat but the matcha flavor still came through, and it wasn't grainy at all. The whipped cream on top was delicious and lightly sweetened, which I loved. I ordered for pickup via DoorDash and my order was ready when I arrived. Very quick service and friendly barista. The interior is pretty casual with 4 small tables inside for seating. Very clean and modern. There's a bit of merch at the entrance of the store. The shop is also located conveniently next to an apartment complex.

Also has cute capybara merchandise and plushies on display. We were in need of energy boost and stopped by for a drink and decided to order the lemon poppyseed muffin. Wow, that muffin! Soft and moist, and freshly baked with the best burst of lemon-sooo good! I would probably come back just for that muffin! For drinks, I ordered a hot Hojicha Latte and the next time I was there, I ordered an iced Strawberry Hojicha Latte, and both were good. I also tried a Calamansi Green Jasmine Tea and it was a bit sour. After adjusting sugar and ice levels, and watering it down, I still didn't like it. The barista offered to make me a new drink and I loved what I replaced it with. Really appreciated the effort and kindness. Love this cafe and hope to be back soon for more muffins, more tea, and more capybara cuteness!

The osmanthus syrup complimented the yogurt and gave it some texture. The grape teagurt, on the other hand, is probably not something I'll get again because the grapes at the bottom were too sour and had a weird rubbery, gritty texture. I'm looking forward to trying the honeydew yogurt drink next. They have a lot of unique drinks that I haven't seen elsewhere. I appreciated that when my drink came out a little short, the server made more so that it would fill to the top. And I appreciated that the register asked me to join their rewards program after paying instead of there being a nondescript sign somewhere away from the counter that would surely lead to me kicking myself for not seeing it after spending a lot. The reward is $8 off for spending $100.

In short, the boba as hard, the drinks were interesting but don't think we'll be coming back. L O C A T I O N Pekoe is located in a small plaza with dedicated parking that's shared with the other establishments. I did easily find parking but I could imagine it being hard to find parking during peak times. I N S I D E There are some seating areas which is nice. But it was pretty dead and basically a kiosk to order your drinks. No one was at the front as I'm sure they were in the back making the drinks. M E N U They had a variety of drinks with some special naming conventions. The drinks start at $6.50 and you can do a split cup so you can try more than one drink but it will cost a dollar more. But primarily drinks are milk teas and fruit teas. I kind of wish they just had standard milk teas and you can add your own toppings. Maybe there was a way to do this but nothing stood out when I was ordering at the kiosk. I got a Black Dragon which was an oolong with grass jelly and my hubby got the Foxy Brown which was a brown sugar milk tea with honey black boba. I got to taste his boba and it was so hard. He was like, maybe it's al dente...no this was not cooked thoroughly. My drink tasted chocolatey which I didn't mind. It was an interesting oolong taste profile. The grass jelly was fine. S E R V I C E Kiosk was fine. Easily paid by credit card. Drinks came out in a timely manner. O V E R A L L Although I didn't mind my drink, I wouldn't go back for the boba itself. The drinks were fine but when bobas start to be almost $7 a drink, there's just other options that I would prefer with menus that are a little more flexible. But I would say try them out still and decide for yourself!
