    My Melody Plush
    Jen H.

    Bober Tea is one of my favorite Boba chains so I decided to stop by because I was in the area and wanted to treat myself with a jasmine green tea boba with an upgraded plush cup. The first thing I noticed was that it was super crowded and hot. Although the line at the ordering kiosk was long, it moved fairly quickly. After I made my order, I decided to use the restroom. It was probably the grossest restroom I have ever been to. Toilet paper all over the ground, smelly and no toilet seat covers! I could have used a gas station restroom instead. But at least there was soap so it could have been worse. So, after all of that... even though the decor was "pretty" - that restroom experience negated all of that. The only good that came out of it was my beverage I ordered. It was ready as soon as I got out of the restroom. I didn't want to stay to take pictures bc I already felt gross. The drink was okay. I don't think the boba was cooked long enough. It was a bit too chewy to my liking but still edible. The plush I got was the best part of it all!!

    I would say this place is definitely a great hang out spot and would be worth the price you pay but they need to provide Wi-Fi. Almost $13 for a drink seems a bit much. I did get extras though so that's why it went up but I thought was going to be a bracelet type of gift because the picture showed, it ended up being a key chain. The staff had burned something so it was smoky during one of my quick visits. I had a great review for this location last time but I'm starting to think people won't want to spend money on surprises. No extra should be a mystery gift. The coffee boba I had, I believe was called pink haze, knowing it's a kind of Vietnamese coffee was delicious but the amount wasn't worth the price for a quick stop. My suggestion coming here is to spend time here to make your money's worthwhile. Also take off the forced tip. I know I by passed it and my drink would have been $11 but it's seems forced on. I know I definitely hit skip but when my card already paid the tip was included without my consent. Nothing was was worth tipping there. No employee interaction at all, only because I asked where there surprise gift was was the only time a person talked to me.

    All of the bober locations I've gone to are so cute inside! Definitely the best place for photo ops and influencers! The drinks are good, a little on the sweet side but not too bad. They also have mochi donuts but we didn't try them this time. This location has a few different rooms that you can rent out I believe, and they each have different decor!

    My experience at Bober is generally positive. I usually come here with a friend and we split 3 donuts and a drink together! Pros: Fast service, online menu is comprehensive/allows for customization of drinks, donuts are delicious Cons: Drinks are SWEET and don't have adjustments on them (likely because they come with powder/pre made perhaps?), donuts sell out at the end of the day so if you come later you'll have a limited array to choose from, since they're made at the beginning of the day they're not as fresh as you would get at other locations (MoDo in Santa Clara, for example)

    This is such a cute boba place in Stockton. My little cousins wanted to come there so I decided to drive them over. I was pleasantly surprised by the decorations. It's very girly and cute in there. Tons of pink roses & lots of photo-op spots within. We ordered through a touch screen and our drinks came out right away. Everyone loved their drinks! The boba was nicely cooked. The people who worked there were really friendly and nice. Definitely will come back!

    The ambiance of this location is amazing and the service was great. I was not expecting to have to order from a kiosk, but it was a smooth process. I gave 4 stars because I was disappointed in the wait. I was hoping to be in and out in under 10 minutes, but I ended up waiting longer. I ordered a sea salt caramel latte smoothie with Boba and it was delicious. I was surprised at the taste of the Boba. Definitely top tier flavor. I also ordered a mochi donut and classic cheese coin. The food and drink were so yummy, but pricey. You are paying for a gourmet experience and I personally think it is worth it as a treat to yourself. Also, came in a fancy cup.

    Unfortunately I will have to stop coming here. The drinks used to be amazing because I used to drive out to Sacramento and visit that location before they opened up in Stockton. Once Stockton opened up, I would go every week because of their stir-fried boba. It was truly the best; however, now the quality is not that great. It's a lot of younger teens that are making the drinks that don't know anything about customer service or food quality. Their boba isn't stir-fried anymore I assume? It just was hard in texture and the drink almost tasted stale. I decided to keep drinking because I didn't want my money to go to waste. The area that I sat by had a little cockroach as well and it was kinda gross. Overall, not the best.

    Bober Tea is a very cute aesthetic boba place with awesome study rooms! I love using it to study. This boba spot was pretty good when it first opened but I feel like it has gone downhill. The drinks are super sweet, with few being able to adjust sweetness. Their coffee drinks aren't as strong anymore either. It tastes watered down. They added blended drinks which is awesome because their menu has little selection but $9.70 for blended drinks is insane. That's more expensive than getting a smoothie somewhere else with REAL fruit. Bober Tea sure has gotten comfortable with making their drinks pricey, not taking in consideration of the economy and the young students coming here. They can make their blended drinks nearly $10 and can't clean or fix their bathroom? I've been here recently a few days a week to study and have been waiting for them to fix the bathroom but they continue to leave the toilet paper outside of the roll container, never restock the toilet seat covers, and leave their broken soap container on the sink with minimal soap inside it. There was also pee all over the toilet which luckily they had the spray in the bathroom and I cleaned it. There is nothing sanitary about this place. If their bathroom looks like this, I can't imagine what their kitchen looks like. Other than the aesthetic and a sugary drink, there is no point of coming here. Save your money and support another boba shop because they clearly do not care about their customers.

    This place is amazing, for blogger and instagramer... you will be delighted how the have a place for ever picture you need to snap and promote their drink. I love their mochi, but the drinks, I more ice than the drink itself, I'm sorry, but, my comment compares to the other tea places I've been. The service was ok. They're just doing their job, and "let me finish my shift" attitude. But, if you really like to stand out with your pic, go at the end of the hall and you'll find a pink phone booth.

    I'm from the East Coast so I've never heard of this place before. Back from where I am from I always tell my friends I want some bobers (boba) when we go out. To my surprise, I found this place on yelp and was amazed! They have kiosk stations to order your drinks and they are very convenient. After that your order goes to the workers and they will make your drink. I haven't had black sesame dessert in a long time so this milk tea in particular brings back great childhood memories. Drink: Tasty Staff: Friendly Atmosphere: Chill, nice place to hang with friends

    Really good taro boba & very cute style of cups! My daughter loved it inside she was amazed with all the roses everywhere!

    Raw cheese coin
    Jackeline M.

    The drinks are okay, nothing I can't get somewhere else. The self serve is okay but not like it helps them go faster, I would rather have someone take my order and tip someone for the service. This was my last time stopping here. It's upsetting when you make the time to stop at a place that is advertising something of good quality only for it to be raw. I made the time to stop for one of these coins, as I'm on the road on my way to work I realized that the coin wasn't properly cooked. (It wasn't the cheese) I tried to called them to see about a replacement but their phones don't work. I work a pm shift so I couldn't go back later.

    Do you have the mochi donuts yet?

    Yes

    Do you have non-dairy options for milk?

    Hello !! We do not have any non-dairy options for milk. However, all of our labeled “milk teas” are dairy free. The only drinks we use that contain whole milk are our drinks labeled as “lattes”.

    Are they hiring? If so, how can I apply?

    We unfortunately are not hiring at the moment. If you’d still like to send in your resume, you can do so at our email hongngocbober@yahoo.com. We can not guarantee a reply back soon, however.

    We're planning to stop by tomorrow afternoon. Are dogs allowed inside just to order and take pictures? We'll take our orders to go. Thanks.

    Yes, as long as the drinks are just to go !!

Parking is street-only, but I was lucky enough to find a spot right in front. FOOD I was expecting a larger food menu, but they only offer 1-2 rotating items for the day/week. I saw their lox bagel from photos and I was bummed they didn't have it that day so I ended up ordering the bagel sandwich (cream cheese, tomato, and cucumber) and a breakfast burrito. Both were decent, though the bagel could've definitely used more cream cheese. 3.8/5 DRINKS Ube White Mocha - 3.8/5: The flavor was there, but it could've used more coffee. Vanilla Latte - 3.8/5: Solid and enjoyable. My overall rating leans closer to a 3.8 mainly because the service was slow and my drink order was initially messed up. The barista did correct it and even let me keep the extra drink, which I appreciated. However, I was also accidentally charged twice and had to get that adjusted. Overall, it's still a nice place to stop by for coffee, and I'd be open to giving it another try.

There was ample seating in and outside. I purchased a large vanilla latte with oak milk. Nothing fancy but it did taste how it was supposed to. As far as customer service there wasn't much interaction outside of me placing my order. But I will definitely try this place again.

Because sago was sold out I got boba instead and the drink was amazing!!! It also had cheese foam in it as well but I will ask for no cheese foam or maybe a different flavor foam bc I wasn't really feeling it.

Yes, the drinks were pretty. My friend and I sat close to the counter and each one was hand crafted with care. The decor was so relaxing as if nature had been brought inside. Loved the ambiance! The biggest highlight was when one of the owners came out to greet us and thank us for our business. I felt so at home. She took the time to share how her business was named and some challenges that happened along the way. I watched as regulars came in to order including a police officer who they knew by name. Love the community that I witnessed in this small boba shop with such a big heart.

As soon as I pull up to the menu section, she welcomes me and is ready to take the order. Staff: baristas have always been super attentive and have always answered any questions that come across. Loyalty system: I believe they have the loyalty point, only 2 baristas have asked me for my phone number to get the points from my purchase. I tend to be a bit shy, so I do shy away a little when it comes to asking to get the points from my purchase. Coffee: I have tried a variety of their options and so far I have not been disappointed. Love the ratio between ice and coffee. The caramel macchiato is my boyfriend's favorite, which is a delicious little treat. My go to drink is a Iced-Vanilla-Latte and if I am feeling a bit tired I do ask for the extra espresso shot. The protein drinks are delicious, and one can't taste the protein in the drink, Great Job! Food / Pastries: their breakfast croissant was delicious. Perfectly warmed up and nicely packaged. I recently tried their cinnamon rolls and I will be ordering it again. It was nicely served with a fork and plenty of napkins, but it did not look nearly similar as the image in the menu. Love the ordering and serving time highly practical.

However, the quality of the food and drinks is NOT worth the price. The baristas couldn't tell us much anything about the beans they were using and the store relies mostly on cold foams and Torani syrups for flavors, which is totally fine! There's a market for that- just don't expect specialty coffee here. I wouldn't recommend ANY food besides maybe pastries. Extremely dry and zero flavor. I'm sorry this is so mean but the avocado toast is actually pitiful. You will pay $15+ for a BARELY seasoned avocado, powdered egg (?), tiny thin slice of bread, with two brown strips of bacon on it that you could make better at home (i'm so sorry but it is true). Similar with the breakfast sandwiches. Payed $50 for 2 drinks and 2 breakfast items that were essentially dutch bros quality. TLDR: Worth it if you want to hang out for the lovely seating and ambiance, just be aware that that is what you are paying for- not necessarily the quality of what your will be eating/drinking. Very yummy drinks! Just they just lean sweet. Do not buy food aside from pastries lol.
