Being a food snob from Northern California who is used to eating organic and high quality food, I wasn't sure about this place when I drove up to it. It's in a strip mall and didn't look very clean from the outside. As soon as I stepped inside, I was transported into a Japanese cultural experience. Far beyond boba and ramen, there were rows of computer stations with headsets for customers to use. There were unusual fake flowers and stuffed emoji art on the walls. I ordered my ramen without chicken, because usually the chicken from places like this is factory farmed and disgusting. Then I sat down to start working on my computer. The cafe was actually very clean with pleasant ambient music that helped me focus and uplifted my mood. The sweet grandmotherly woman who was working came out from behind the counter with an egg in a dish. She didn't speak English very well, but was able to communicate that she was offering to put this egg in my ramen as a substitute for the chicken. I said yes, delighted to get protein in my dish. When she brought the ramen, it was the perfect temperature, delicious, and the egg was cured and also scrumptious. The broth was so good it must've been homemade despite the fact that they had instant ramen cups decorating their counter. There was also fresh bok choy, shredded carrots, and corn in my ramen, making it feel like somewhat of a balanced meal served to me by my new friendly grandmother. The boba was also delicious. I got 25% sweet, which tasted like 75% sweetness at least. This place was pleasantly surprising in many ways. Highly recommended. read more

Gaming and boba wow what a mix. We were looking for a boba drink and found ourselves here. It was pretty cool, folks were gaming--what I think was League of Legends. No cash, but tap pay and folks ordered online with an app--I think but the staffer took our order over the counter. The boba was good, but never being in a cyber cafe was pretty neat. I felt a little out of place, but overall cool--albeit little longer wait for our drinks. read more

This was my first time visiting a Cyber Cafe! I had not heard of the concept before my visit. If you're interested in visiting a cyber cafe, your chance of finding one in the U.S. is likely the highest in Silicon Valley! I was passing through the area around 10:30 pm on a Sunday, had a late-night craving for popcorn chicken, and found this cafe on Yelp. Upon arrival, we saw a "greeting table" with a QR code to view the menu and order in addition to some local advertisements. We ordered popcorn chicken to go ($7.99 plus $0.25 extra charge for to-go orders) via the online menu before taking a seat. The menu specified that there would be 200 g of popcorn chicken in the order. A few people were working on laptops at a long table and some used the PCs available to rent for a fee. The cafe was mostly quiet as customers seemed enthralled in their work/games. You could hear the occasional chatter or reactions of the gamers, but this was not very frequent or loud during our visit. Our order was ready within 10 minutes and was packaged in a to-go box. The staff brought the order to us and we left shortly after. I was a little disappointed by the popcorn chicken. I expected more "traditional" popcorn chicken, perhaps seasoned with garlic powder, pepper, salt, basil, etc. However, the taste and shape of the popcorn chicken differed from what you would usually receive at a boba shop. This popcorn chicken order resembled dino nuggets rolled into crispy, mini balls. Although the popcorn chicken order was a flop, I found the concept of a cyber cafe interesting and I love that this is a safe place to hang out and satisfy your late-night cravings. read more

This cafe is one of my favorites. I've been going here since 2018. Made a good friend and got a lot of work and projects done. Lots of memories. They stayed open until 1:00am weekdays and Fri/Sat they used to open until 3:00am, that was amazing! I'll miss this place. Thanks for everything, Calibear Cyber Cafe! read more

This place is a study/gaming cafe. I would say if you are trying to get work done bring some headphones and bring a food. The food I would say is okay here but you have to buy something to study here. They will bug you to buy something if you been there for an hour or two without buying anything. It's pretty cold in there and the lights get pretty low at times. I would say if you are someone who can study in loud areas then this is the place for you. I have tried their fries, taro drink with boba, Thai tea with boba and without. I would say if you don't want to be constantly in the bathroom I would not get the boba there. The bathroom is motion detected so if you don't move it will turn off on you. So you will be using the bathroom in the dark at some point. read more

We came around 4pm, and all the lights were off. I asked the woman twice to turn the lights on so my daughter could study and she just ignored me. Food and drinks are expensive for undercooked fries, and the popcorn chicken looked like small pellets. It looked and tasted like something you'd get from a school cafeteria, so my daughter ended up throwing most of the popcorn chicken away. read more

Came here for some late night boba and the drinks didn't really impress. Maybe it was off night but the Calibear Milk Tea just tasted like milk with a splash of black tea and sugar. If you like fruity drinks try the Strawberry Passion Fruit! It was pretty calm for a Friday night but I noticed they had a good amount of online orders so the drinks took a while to come out. They're a pretty large cyber cafe with a lot of PCs and an assortment of board games too. read more

This place is great for a late-night place to study and hang out with friends - it's also pretty close to my house and it's somewhere that I feel like I'd come more often. I haven't tried out the gaming PCs but it's on my list to try them out sometime. The boba and food here aren't revolutionary, but they are decent and cheaper than other places I've seen with similar food choices. The vibe here is very cute and lofi music plays in the background. Very much a gamer place to be. read more

Very quiet and calm when me and my friend went.they brought our food to where we were sitting and the food was yummy.

Cleanest Cyber Cafe in the local area by far. Separate area for personal study. Death Adder Mouse (easy to customize DPI) w/ big mousepad for any type of competitive game. Headset/Keyboard is good enough. Milk tea looks solid, food looks mid but what are you really going to expect. Why would you want food anyway it's bad practice to take it by your computer because you can get it in your keyboard, food is meat to be enjoyed not rushed so you can down it in 5 minutes before you're next Marvel Rivals round. stop eating and use aim trainer so you won't be a 0/9 Cloak and Dagger complaining "I'm meant to heal" like bro, calm down and hit something stop crashing out like this. $12 for 2 hours. #23 did crash on me twice though , after I changed there was no issues. You don't need to talk to staff you can pay using your phone, they are friendly and helpful though. Will definitely recommend coming here, and plan to make this the only cafe when my friends and I want to play games while hanging out in person. I made this yelp account just to recommend this place. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night around midnight, and the ambiance was pretty nice. I came here with my friends and we just hungout since it's a late night spot to chat / game. The drinks were pretty gross, I'm not going to lie. I ordered the Rose Tea w/ agar pearls (0/10) - and my friends ordered the Thai Tea with boba (5/10) and the Honeydew Tea with boba (1/10). The rose tea tasted like the LA tap water from my college dorm room. The Thai tea honestly tasted alright, it was nothing amazing or good, but not bad. Definitely tasted like Thai tea but left my friends with the worst stomachaches of their lives. The honeydew tasted like raw egg whites straight from the carton. Like c'mon for $8.19 each? At least be okay tasting. The service was kinda trash too. Definitely would not come again - the boba was life changing in the worst way. read more

I come here to study sometimes when it's late. The popcorn chicken is more like bite sized sphere nuggets, very cute. Surprisingly juicy on the inside? I have a low spice tolerance but I always pick extra spicy because it just means extra flavoring and the flavoring itself isn't too spicy so I can handle it. It's pretty different from normal popcorn chicken but I actually prefer it because it doesn't feel as junk food-y and is nice on the stomach. I don't have pictures but I know there's one someone took that's in the photo gallery. The service is great, I think they recognized me after my first visit and just bring the chicken to me now while I'm working. I like the lofi music in the background. read more

Calibear Cyber Cafe is a late night spot that opens until 1 AM every day (even on major holidays) - they used to open even later before the pandemic. It is located in a quiet plaza with plenty of parking. They have plenty of computers that you may rent (most likely per hour) to use for games and whatnot. I have never personally used their computers, but it is a neat idea. This is a quiet shop, I wished it was closer to me for me to come and study here since they stay open late. I usually get their jasmine milk tea or jasmine green tea. The milk tea is on the more floral side with a bit of rose aftertaste. It is not as creamy as I would like it to be, it just has a weird milky taste with a subtle tea taste to it. The green tea is a bit on the bitter side and it makes me more thirsty as I drink it. The boba is always extra soft and slimy. read more

Love this place. Came here to study and found the space to be super cute. Lots of seats for working/studying.

This place is where I would consider a second home. It's a great place to study at night if the library isn't open. They have tasty drinks, and decent food. The service is really great; the male staff suggested their minced pork rice, and it was delicious! (To be honest, it was a bit pricey for what it is, microwaved rice in a small bowl with minced pork, bok choy, and an egg, but trust me when I say it was delicious. I haven't found another place that makes minced pork the way they do.) The ambiance is quiet, especially for a gaming café. I came here to study one night and it was surprising that there were others in here that study too. read more

New streamlined menu! Please see photos below. I've been patronizing Calibear regularly for the past few months, and it has yet to disappoint. Having good quality is one thing, but consistency is the key. The staff is always friendly, and the vibe is positive. It can get a bit rowdy when the gamers are in full force (typically on weekends), but for the most part, it's pretty chill. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to offer some sort of frequent buyer incentives (Five Stars/stamp cards, etc.) Drink prices are slightly on the high side, but that's understandable because of the overhead, so any assitional perks would be beneficial. read more

Lady m cake 12.99 plus tax for a slice 80 for 6 inch cake Today I ordered a slice of the original. Took it home and enjoyed it. The cream was very rich. Cake seemed fresh enough. I prefer the lemon one I had in NYC but this was tasty. This will have to do till I go back to NYC. Boba I ordered the lychee green tea with lychee jelly 25% sweet. That was still a tad sweet. Hubby ordered the oolong milk tea with boba. He said it was just ok. Service Friendly This place is in the same plaza as zanottos. I was able to get some grocery shopping done and get my boba fix at the same time. Yuppiii! read more

Calibear! Such a nice environment and the drinks are great too! I was looking for a milk tea place to get some tea and just so happened to be in the area. I saw that Calibear was "Hot & New" on Yelp so I decided to give it a try. This place is a Cyber Cafe, and if you aren't familiar with what that is, it's basically a place where you can pay hourly to use the computers. Most people typically come here to play online games. The place is open very late on the weekends, so get your game and drink on! I didn't come here to game though, I came here to get something to drink. I decided to try their two most popular drinks: Hibiscus Rose and Puppy Love. You can't get boba with the hibiscus rose drink apparently, but I just wanted the tea anyways. You can adjust the ice and sweetness level here, but I kept it all at the normal amount just to see how it would taste. The Puppy Love is a gorgeous drink. It looks like a sunset and is great for photos. The drink itself is like a passionfruit lemon and it's actually pretty tart. The top color is actually sugar water, so if you mix the entire drink it becomes a little bit sweeter. The flavors are fresh and crisp, and I actually didn't mind the tartness. If you're looking for something sweet, the Hibiscus Rose was so good. It didn't taste artificial, and the floral hints were not overpowering. It's much sweeter than the Puppy Love, so it was a great one to pair. The people here are nice, and they put in a lot of effort to keep the place tidy. I really appreciated that. The place has really cute wall decor and is just bright and bubbly overall. The gaming computers look pretty good. Each one has over the ear headphones and the keyboards are mechanical (which color switch, I'm not entirely sure, but they felt like red switches, very light to the touch). Would definitely come back. I saw that they have the crepe cakes here which I am dying to try! read more

Boba - A bit more expensive than other cafes. Average taste. Gaming computers - should be an easier way to load more hours on the computer. Waste a lot of time buying hours on your phone and going up to the counter to tell them which seat you're in, etc. sometimes the worker is too busy to help. Too hot and stuffy, turn on your air conditioning! read more

5 stars for environment and services. 5 stars for the drinks and Lady M cake!!!! So happy to find this place in Bay area!!!As a Internet cafe, it is a very cute place for friends hang out!! They provided Lady M' cakes and beautiful drinks!! This time I just tried their food and drinks, next time I should try to play games with their cool computer. (Their keyboards were so cool!!!)

What a cute place. Wish I had one of these in Irvine during my college years.... After a late night of dancing in SF, I had a hankering for boba and stopped here on my way back. Such a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Staff is wonderful, despite the late night shift. Kudos to those guys! And the milk tea is pretty good too If I had a purpose for a late night study spot this would be my new place. read more

This place is super cool! It's like a video game cafe. There were so many PCs and TVs with twitch or someone playing a game. This place also stays open late (til 1am or 2am), which is awesome to hang out with a friend. It is pretty quiet, but overall a very chill hang out place. I didn't get any drinks or food, so I cannot say on those. But overall, I think this place is super cool! read more

Went here craving Watermelon smoothie at 12:30AM so I ordered on their website and of course paid. I was running a little late because Spartan Taco's took longer than usual so I called them and told them they can just leave the drinks in front if they have to leave at 1AM (when they close). Instead, they said they would wait and they really did! I arrived at 1:15AM and had my watermelon and earl grey Salted cheese ready. Definitely recommend for Their friendliness, communication, taste of drinks and hospitality. read more

Cool concept and I like the fact that it opens late at night when I'm just craving for some boba. Drink was alright. Waiting for the drink took foreverrrrr though. I understand that there was maybe 1 or 2 people working at 10:00PM at night, however, there was only 1 person that was ahead of me ordering 1 drink. The drink took at least 20 minutes because I timed it from the time I received my receipt. Will most likely come back again though! read more

Was in the area running an errand and decided to stop by and grab a tea. I was in a bit of a rush and although no one was there (literaly one person at a table and the employee was watching cartoons from a big screen across the room) I was asked to fill out my request from an iPad at the entrance although I asked if I can just walk over and give him my order. Then when it came to pay, I wanted to pay cash and it was then that the guy asked me to the counter and place my order with him. I ordered a regular, which was more like a small for almost $6. It was good, I've had better. If you're a gamer come thru, looks cool. But for just a tea, skip it. read more

Great internet cafe! The demographic of this place is definitely Chinese and the workers speak it to each other. However, they aren't unwelcoming in any way and the staff is always helpful.

Only qualm is the credit minimum. read more

This is a gaming cafe and they have a few tables to sit and work. I visited this place looking for a place to work that is open till late. So, this review is NOT FOR GAMING PART. Tha place overall is interesting. It has an interesting decor and seems like a nice place for video game enthusiast. I visited on a Tuesday and it was particularly crowded. The best thing about this is it is open till late. So if you want to work deperately out somewhere till late, maybe then give this place a chance. Summary: Pros 1. Open late till midnight most days. 2. Not a fan of Boba tea, but they have lots of boba tea options. Cons: 1. Internet disconnects every 1 hour(not for gaming, for people using wifi to work) and you have to reconnect. Not a huge problem but that says something. 2. The staff member were not as friendly. 3. Didnt like the food options they had. 4. It could be a one time gthing, but a couple of people who arrived around 11ish were very loud. read more
