8.5/10 Classic Milk Tea - This milk tea was not bad at all. I honestly would've enjoyed it more if I had just gotten the milk tea without the boba, because the boba had a nasty aftertaste that started leaking into the drink. 1/10 Boba - I'm so so so sad about this UGH. The workers and the aesthetic make me want to come here all the time, but I cannot. The boba here was so undeniably terrible. First of all, the bobas were hard af from the very first sip. Second, they had an awful aftertaste. Both my friend and I felt the exact same way about our drinks. 7/10 Fruity Pebbles Mochi Donut - I really wanted to love these too. They were beautifully aesthetic, but kinda stale-ish. They just did not taste fresh at all. Cost - $6.91 in total. read more

Was craving something sweet after dinner and walked next door to try the matcha and strawberry mochi donuts. Also ordered the mango tea and strawberry teas. We got there about 20 minutes before closing so they had out of boba. Matcha mochi donut 2/5; didn't taste like matcha Strawberry mochi donut 4/5; it wasn't fresh, but the taste was there Strawberry tea 5/5; spilled most of it in the car but was able to try it, was super refreshing!! Mango tea 5/5; super good and refreshing as well Overall 3.9/5 read more

Bober Tea & Coffee - Mochi donuts - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

We came here after dinner. Unfortunately they were already closed because I was excited for bubble tea and mochi donuts. They had a 6 pack box of donuts left which we were told we could buy so we were happy about that. Hopefully we can try the bubble tea next time we are in town. The mochi donuts were so good!! read more

Tried a variety of their mochi donuts and they were pretty yummy! The dough was chewy and had a slightly crunchy outer layer like they were fried that day. I actually preferred them the day after when they tasted a bit softer. The Oreo and cereal flavors were the best. Shout out to the employee for being sweet and friendly! read more

Bober Tea & Coffee - Mochi donuts - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Been on the hunt to find my new mochi donut spot! I was an avid fan of Fill's Bakeshop before they closed down. Bober is now my new go-to mochi donut place! The donuts are BEAUTIFUL! They're literally so aesthetic. And the packaging is quite pretty as well. These donuts are definitely a show stopper if you're throwing a party. As for the donut itself, it's good! I like that the donut isn't sweet. The glazes are what bring the donut most of it's sweetness. My favorite flavor is definitely the mango one! They aren't the BEST mochi donuts I've ever had, but if you have a craving, they're definitely good! read more

Bober Tea & Coffee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Came here after dinner with a friend because we wanted to get something sweet and Bober was in the vicinity. We also wanted to get the surprise cup for an extra special treat. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea while my friend got the milk tea. The staff who helped was very patient when we were making our choices and let us know there were no more surprise cups, so we were slightly disappointed. After waiting for a bit, our drinks came out and we left. The shop was empty when we came in and empty when we left - the surprise cups seemed to have been a big draw for customers as it was packed the last time we were there. Both teas were good. I opted to not have boba pearls this time as it wasn't very good the last time I had it from this location. I was tempted by the mochi donuts, but decided I was too full from dinner. My drink was slightly sweeter than usual, but it wasn't too bad. Still cutely decorated inside and very picturesque. read more

Cute + Tasty + Instagrammable Japanese Donuts. This little shop is in the same plaza as BCD Tofu House. It's a small chain that specializes in Japanese mochi donuts and milk tea/coffee drinks. The donuts are really good, and the pink gift box packaging is super pretty, perfect for gifting! The inside is also cute, with a full wall of fake flowers and grass, plus a pink carousel that makes it great for photos. The staff were really friendly too and they even asked if we wanted some water and offered to help take our pictures. Restaurant is clean, too. Big bonus points!

A no bo-brainer. Garden Grove is stacked with some of the best bubble tea shops in CA, so it's pretty much impossible for me to visit this city without grabbing boba. Typically I avoid boba shops with gimmicks, so this trendy little spot didn't intentionally catch my eye. I'm so glad Bober proved me wrong! This is by far one of the best drinks I've had in a long time. I ordered the honey green tea with cheese foam and double boba. The perfect balance of sweet to salty. I'd easily visit again for round two! Be sure to add this biz to your must-try bubble tea list. read more

Interior design 10/10, drinks a solid 6/10. Didn't take pictures of my drinks, but we got Brown Sugar Matcha and the Supreme Pink Pear Green Tea and they were not really it.. Sad because the tapioca pearls in our drink weren't soft and more on the harder side and the drinks were bitter/watered down. Bummer because the ambience and decor is super cute but not sure if I'd try other drinks again.. read more

Bober Tea & Coffee is decorated cute and it has a carousel horse at the entrance. I ordered the OG Vietnamese coffee, which was delicious and left me wanting to come back to try more from their menu. You can order through the kiosk or at the counter. They have a large selection of mochi donuts as well. One of the highlights is their surprise cup drinks - for a small extra charge, you get a fun, unique drink experience where you get to reveal a plushie. I love Hello Kitty so I thought it was fun. Note: the size of your actual drink is small when you choose this option, so you got to decide if you want a large drink or do you want the plushie. Highly recommend if you're looking for something a bit different! read more

What a gem in Garden Grove. I love the great taste of their milk tea plus the crystal boba was delicious with perfect texture. The staff were friendly and worked hard to put my drink in the bear brick bottle. Ambiance is bright, open and airy. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back to try their mochi donuts next time. read more

We came for those little plushies they had going viral on tik tok but they weren't doing them anymore so that was a bummer. The girl that worked there said that they will do it again in a few months so I hope I get it next time! I got their green milk tea and it was delicious. I love that I was able to taste the tea in it and the boba were cooked perfectly. Staff was very friendly as well. read more

Bober Tea & Coffee - A dozen mochi doughnuts - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

If pink and feminine energy was a boba shop, it would be Bober Tea & Coffee. I'm always nervous to try new boba shops because you never know if they live up to the hype. I'm super glad this one did! I got the green tea with cheese foam at 75% sweet, which may have still been a bit sweet for me. Even then, the drink was still very tasty, and I'm always glad to get a tea drink and taste the tea. It looks like the main ordering is via the kiosks but the drinks came out pretty quick after we ordered. The shop itself is pretty small, but they're still a handful of seating options to casually chat with some friends. read more

Came here for the surprise plush cups and they were sooo cute!! We couldn't buy the plush cups by themselves so we had to order a drink with it. All the drinks are pretty pricey ($5 to up to ~$10), and we just opted for the Black Tea and Mango Green Tea, which were decent and nothing special. The surprise plush cups were an extra $5.50 and the plush comes out of the bottom portion of the cup. It was exciting opening the cups like a blind box, and we were happy with what we got - a keychain plush of Kuromi and Pochacco in cute bunny suits! The inside decor is very girly and cutesy, and there's lots of seating to hangout or study. They have ordering kiosks as well as online ordering if you want to order ahead of time, but the drinks came out quick when we ordered there. They also have some mochi donuts that looked good, so I'll have to try those next time! read more

Their milk tea was flavorful and delicious. I also had a mochi donut, and that was amazing. The service was very swift and they were very friendly. The interior is very decorated with a lot of lights, and it is enjoyable to be in there. I'd recommend this spot! read more

I ordered the strawberry green tea and pink pear tea. I liked the strawberry green tea more. There is a self serve kiosk screen to order from. The interior is super cute and has a good amount of insta worthy picture spots. They sell mochi donuts here but I did not try them. There is extra charge of $5 for the special cup with the toys inside. I got a my melody keychain and a Kirby plush keychain. 2 drinks with surprise cups were ~$29 which is quite pricey. Parking was in a shared lot. read more

3.6 stars I had to come here after seeing a Tiktok of someone unwrapping their "mystery" Hello Kitty keychain. As a kid at heart, I couldn't resist. So, I made the trek into OC just for these and I actually got to pick the keychain lol. I know it's suppose to be a surprise, but apparently, they let you switch the keychain with another character if you want. The super huge cup isn't necessary, there is an additional charge if you opt for drink + keychain. Anyways, this boba spot is basically Mochinut serving boba drinks. The interior is incredibly frilly and Barbie-esque. The drinks were ok. I got Roasted Oolong Milk Tea (75% sweet) & Mung Bean Pandan Latte (50% sweet). My favorite is the Mung Bean drink! I do think the drinks are way too sweet and likely would order 25% sweet for all my drinks in the future. I didn't order donuts this time, but maybe next time. Overall experience was good. The keychains are cute and I left pretty satisfied. Are the drinks worth trying? Maybe a few on the menu. read more

Parking here was easy to find. The boba shop has nice decor and a pink vibe. I was able to order my drinks on the self serve screens. The pear tea I tried was too strong for my liking.

I was in town from AZ visiting and this was all I wanted to try after seeing the viral hello kitty cups on social media. I drove there on purpose to get there early when they opened at 11am. When I tried to order I was told that they didn't have any HK cups. Dude at the counter had no clue about HK cups and had to ask someone in the back. Huge disappointment considering this is the one thing that is giving them business. Don't even bother wasting your gas or time or call first I guess. read more

Checked this place out with friends due to the boba drinks and of the cute surprises you could get! This shop did a great job with drawing customers in. From the decor to product presentation to cute surprises with your drink, everything in this place is so appealing. Our cashier was so kind and funny! I don't remember her name but she had such a fun energy to be around and she made our experience that much more enjoyable. She also gave us the option to choose which surprise we wanted which I thought was cool. I know it's not technically a surprise anymore but whatever! If you get a surprise it costs extra because you're paying for the little toy, you get the regular sized drink. The cup that the drink and surprise come in is hilariously large but once you get the surprise out and tear the cup it's a normal size. We all enjoyed our drinks! I got the chizu strawberry green tea and it tasted kind of watered down despite it being freshly made. I think I'm just used to getting super sweet drinks and was expecting something of the sort. But when I took breaks from the drink, it actually was pretty good. I enjoyed the green tea flavor along with the slight sourness and sweetness of the chizu and strawberry. Overall, coming here was a very positive experience! Customer service, vibes, and uniqueness were all there. My drink was good but nothing too special. I'm thinking I might need to try another drink next time, with the surprise cup of course!!! read more

This place is super cute for photo oops and the staff are nice. It's popular for there cups with plushies but I personally don't think it's worth the $6 up price. I actually adjusted the sweetness for all 4 of my drinks and for the signature I also got less brown sugar but it was still WAY TO sweet. Overall the ambiance is cute it's just a little expensive for the quality. Parking is also quite horrible:( read more

Heard about this place and since I was in the neighborhood, I thought I'd stop by to try their drinks! Interior is super instagrammable and so cute. When you enter, there is a kiosk to your left kind of hidden in the wall decor. That's where you order. The employees are super nice and helpful but I noticed a lot of people got really confused on where to go order because they also have a counter at the back by the restroom where you would assume you order. Some signage to show the kiosk would be nice. Also I noticed that this was a popular place for parents to bring their kids. By the time I was leaving, there were 5 or 6 kids running around screaming lol. I ordered the mung bean pandan latte and added pink honey boba and the surprise plush. I also got the 10 yen coin waffle. The drink took a while to make but I think it was worth it because it was sooooo good. I enjoyed the chewy boba as well. The surprise plush was pretty cute but I was bummed that while the cup looked so large, I think only half the cup had actual drink in it lol. Bummer because the latte was really good. Next time I'll definitely pass on the plush and just get a drink. I also got the 10 yen waffle which came out to be very soft - it tasted pretty good, arrived piping hot had had some melted cheese inside. I would've preferred it to be a little crisper but it was tasty. Located next to Bcd Tofu! Has a parking lot :) read more

Came here on a Saturday at 6ish. Was able to find parking easily for 3 cars, 13 of us in our group. It's pretty busy inside. It's a small shop but had a few tables and was decorated with cutesy flowers. Most of the other customers used their kiosk to order, we ordered with the cashier. We had 2 different cashiers and both were super nice, friendly and helpful. Selection of drinks were great, all the kids loved their drinks, bear shaped jug and absolutely cute hello kitty surprise toys. Mixed review in actual drinks though. Teas were a hit. They were very accommodating I. Customizing flavors/drinks. Coffee was ok. Dad liked his, but the others thought it wasn't that great (Da Viên was preferred). Salted cheese topping was not good. It was very very runny vs the thick rich foam that we enjoy at other shops. Mochi donuts were delicious! We got a dozen and devoured it! Flavors were good and texture was spot on soft, chewy with the right amount of sweetness. The crew was amazing though, super friendly, and we got our drinks very quickly. They were on their a game. Would come again as the kids had a blast! read more

This was my first time at Bober Tea's Garden Grove location and it's honestly one of the cutest shops ever. You can order your drinks either at the counter or at the self serve kiosk. They have a pretty wide array of drinks, including a few non dairy options, so there's definitely something for everyone. I ordered the Chizu Strawberry Green Tea and I thought it was refreshing and tasty. You can also ask for your drinks to be less sweet as well depending on what it is you order. The service is also great at this location, too. The person who made my drink also delivered it to my table. Obviously if it's super busy, it may not always be that way, but it was very nice of them at that time. As I mentioned, I think it is one of the cutest tea spots. The shop is adorned with cute decorations and Instagram worthy photo features as well. There are also a few tables inside, so it's a great hangout spot for small groups! I recommend giving this place a try if you haven't already! read more

I always thought Bob was short for Robert, but now I understand that Bob is actually short for Bober Tea & Coffee. The cafe is on the smaller end, but don't let the size fool you, because I always tell myself big things come in small packages . In this case, randomly selected plushies came with the small packages that are boba drinks, which is why my wife wanted to come. Who knew EA games now sells boba with loot boxes/microtransactions? She ended up getting a Hello Kitty plushie which is what she wanted, so that was cool. Service was 5/5. The staff member at the front patiently walked us through the different options and even served us our food instead of us going up there to pick it up. The drinks were decent, but wow was there a lot of ice in drink. You'd think my drink sank the Titanic itself. The cotton candy mochi donut was good, though on the pricier side. Overall, it's a good place for people to take photo ops in and receive stuffed toys, though I'm not itching to come back if I'm just coming for the drinks. read more

This place gets a 5/5 purely for how cute the Sanrio surprise keychains are! They're also pretty well made keychains, especially given the price and novelty of it. I ordered the cookies and cream brown sugar milk tea. The drink itself is actually pretty good, but the brown sugar boba was bad. It was too chewy and hard and way too sweet. The drink is also really sweet and I didn't see the ability to adjust the sweetness on the kiosk. The cafe itself is so cute and drinks come out really fast too! read more

Bober Tea & Coffee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This boba shop has delicious drinks, yummy desserts, and the cutest interior decor, but that's not all. You can order your drinks in a surprise cup and it'll have a little plushie at the bottom! It's supposed to be a surprise, but you can actually pick your plushie. The drink itself was just okay, and after removing the plush, the cup is kinda small. You're really just paying for the gimmick On Tuesdays, mochi donuts are $1 with the purchase of a drink!  They have multiple locations all over the country but mainly in California, with the closest one to me in Garden Grove! read more

My sister basically begged for my family to come in here because she saw tons of people walking out with the trending surprise drinks so we went in! The place itself surprised me. It was really bright, clean, and super pretty. The place was nicely decorated, and it was empty when I walked in. The employees are nice and very helpful. There was an employee that told me and my sister that we could order on their self checkout kiosk. In order to get a surprise toy in your drink, you would have to order it under the drink size option. The kiosk only takes card, but you can pay cash at their register. I wish the employees mentioned that, but their register was hidden. Also, there's only one self checkout kiosk, and with people not knowing about the register, they just let people create big lines at the kiosk. I got the Chizu Matcha Green Tea, and it tasted great. The employee advised me to mix up the cream with the drink. My sister got the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with Pink Boba in the surprise cup. I didn't think the surprise drink was worth it because it's about $3.50 for a small, unlicensed toy. Though, it does seem like it would be fun for kids! The Pink Boba however, it was chewy and tasted great. I didn't see it so I'm unsure whether or not it's actually pink. The mochi donuts are soft, pretty, and they are really well decorated. I'm not a fan of mochi donuts, but these were okay! This place is definitely fun to look at, and it's a place to get those surprise toy drinks if you want one. However, there's only 3 seats so it's basically just a grab-and-go place. I wouldn't say no to my sister if she dragged me in here again, but I personally wouldn't go here again myself. read more

Food / Drinks : Drinks were okay, I would rate it a 6.5/10. I went here for the surprise drink. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea, you can't even taste any brown sugar in my opinion. I also had no idea none of the drinks came with boba, I thought it was included LOL. So don't forget to add toppings! The drinks are about $6 with the surprise is another $3.50. The drinks aren't that big at all, the surprise cup is long but the real cup inside it is about half of the cup... I would say it's a SMALL size cup at a boba spot. Service : It is extremely packed when I went. I went around 4:30pm and there was a long line. I didn't get inside to order until about 5:36pm (so about an hour wait...) and then you wait AGAIN for your drink which is about another 30-40mins. I think it was just honestly the time I went! So if you can maybe go earlier in the day? The workers are nice but it is slow service because there is only two people working. Ambiance: very cute inside and lots of photo ops! read more

I finally got to try this place out with my cousins. The staff were very friendly and the store was super clean! I'm honestly glad they had a kiosk so we could take our order because we took a while. I'll only be reviewing the drink I got since I wasn't able to get my cousin's opinion on their drinks. Drink: + Chizu Strawberry Green Tea ($6.90) with add-ons: pink boba ($ ) and make it a surprise cup ($ ): The drink itself is delicious! I truly enjoyed the strawberry green tea and the house-made chizu tied it together. The drink is very small, it only looks like you're getting a lot because the cup it comes with when you get the surprise cup is huge. Keep in mind, it's huge bc they have to put the surprise at the bottom. The surprise cup is honestly very fun and the anticipation of not knowing what you'll get is going to keep wanting to go back for more. They also sell mochi Japanese donuts which we didn't get during our visit. The store has so many photo opportunities so don't forget to get your photos in. read more

Got two surprise cups, supreme mango and brown sugar milk tea. The place is very cute and aesthetic and the staff made our drinks fast. Visually everything was 10/10.

This place seemed busy when I went saturday afternoon. The hello kitty mini plush keychain was cute. I decided to try their jasmine with honey green tea and add the surprise cup. The service was quick and the servers were friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing and there were groups of people just hanging out at their tables. You could come here to work a bit but I recommend some headphones if you need to concentrate cause it does get kinda loud from all the different people talking. Their decorations around the cafe are beautiful and vibrant. I like the theme. I definitely want to come back again and try their milk tea series. The mini plush was so cute I think I might get it again next time. I think since it's summer right now it's hello kitty summer themed plushies. I saw a group of girls next to me also get some hello kitty plushies in summer wear. read more
