As others have mentioned, Honey Tea is one of the few thriving places left inside a dying food court at the Pacific Pearl plaza. My hubby and I decided to share a drink for dessert after dinner and came here for their boba milk tea. I thought the milk tea was good, not the best I've had but I enjoyed it. It had a strong tea flavor, which my hubby wasn't a fan of but I certainly was. I also loved the boba since it was chewy the way it's supposed to be and sweetened just right. Service was fast - we ordered through the kiosk and the drink came just a couple of minutes after. When we went, the ambiance was quiet. It was later at night so they didn't have any other customers at the time. read more

*foodie DEETS here* - 10.13.25's visit, review #215 Been craving boba, which I haven't had for a couple of mos. My new choice threw me off tho. Finally tried this stall after togo din & buying veggies @ Pacific Pearl, Asian foodie plaza by SF Premium outlets. 1 of 2 OGs, surviving endless rotating neighbors, inside Pacific Food Hall since 2019. V I B E S . . . This bldg is alwaz sadly dead since it's concealed at the furthest end of the plaza, away from traffic. D R I N K . . . - Oreo Milk Tea, 5.95 +1 lrg +.70 Boba = 7.65 (tax incl) Tea part was mild. Too much crushed cookies made it really sweet even after mixing. Mid boba had a bounce, but centers were starting to harden, which meant they weren't fresh. My 1st time ever for an Oreo drink & won't be doing it again. Killed my curiosity tho, lol. Tasted like a melted version of my go-to ice cream at home, meh. Btw, fruit drinks were advertised as 100% real & w/ pure cane sugar syrup. If returning, I'd try: - Fresh Orange Yakult, 6.25 - Brown Sugar Latte, 5.95 - Matcha Latte, 5.95 - Fresh Taro Milk Tea, 7.25 S E R V I C E . . . 1 lady operated the stand, which was sufficient since there was no demand. She wouldn't make the drink w/ no ice cuz of "how the foam works." Uh, I did not want it watered down since I wasn't having it for a couple hrs til after din. - Return? Prob not - Apple Pay: Yep, who doesn't these days? P.S. If u found what I spent time on to be of help, show this (Asian) sista some love by SMASHing a reaction & FOLLOWing me if u don't already!! ;-P Thx in advance & may there be more noms in our futures, cheers... read more

This is the boba tea shop inside a Pacific Food Court next to Ranch 99 market at the east side of Stoneridge drive ( near by Livermore outlet ) . It has a extensive menu for fruit teas ( 21 different kinds ) , non dairy milk tea for people with lactose intolerance , fresh brewed tea , latte made with organic fresh milk , smoothies, fizzy , cream foam , yoguart mousse , etc . You can order on line or with the Kiosk . We tried the large grapefruit crips ( with mix of orange , lemon and grapefruit) . It tastes good with the right amount of juices in combination. I think the owner lady deserves a 5 stars . She really know how to make the drinks taste excellent. I have been to many famous boba drink places. This is definitely one of the best ! read more

This was a relatively simple experience but a really pleasant one! I'm a huge fan of coffee milk teas but not a lot of boba spots serve it, so imagine my excitement when I see coffee milk tea on the menu. Of course I had to get it! I ordered on a kiosk and lowered the sugar a bit. Also added boba. Honestly, this turned out to be one of the better coffee milk teas I've had and I'm really happy I enjoyed it. I would totally see myself coming back to get this the next time I'm in this plaza. There's plenty of food court seating here so if you stop by, you could get it to go or sit and enjoy with friends. read more

Drinks were too sweet, even I had them less sweet. The Brown Sugar Fresh Milk was too sweet. The jelly in the Trio could be fresher. Service was very good. Seating was good and the cleaning lady was busy cleaning. Ambiance was casual. read more

I've been coming to the food court this boba place is located in for a while and I must say the shops are constantly changing but I'm glad to see this drink place has stayed strong. They have a fairly wide choice of drinks including teas, milk teas, and smoothies. Recently my bf and I ordered a chocolate banana and a banana smoothie. The worker actually asked us if we preferred the smoothie texture more milky or thick. I kind of loved that she asked that, since I actually do prefer a thicker consistency for a milkshake and do get disappointed when it's more liquid. Their boba is decent too but nothing super special so I can't give it 5 stars, but I do enjoy coming here for drinks while waiting for my food from one of the other nearby food shops. read more

Honey Tea - Chocolate banana smoothie and banana smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I like this place a lot. It is one the of the sole survivors (along with SL) of a once bustling/prolific food court. I only started getting drinks from this place as I wanted to try new places and really like the whole vibe & small business feel. The service is great. The prices are in line with what you'd expect but I have to say my splurge drink is the avocado smoothie with boba. It comes out to $10+ but I keep going back to it, rarely regretting it. read more

The drinks here taste really good, but the service was extremely slow. There was only one person ahead of me in line ordering a single drink, and it still took a surprisingly long time for my drink to be made. If they can speed up their service, this place would easily earn a higher rating. Great drinks, but the wait time needs improvement. read more

Ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba. This common drink is a base drink that I use for comparing boba drink establishments. Their tea had a good balance of sweetness and bitterness in addition to nice soft chewy boba (not hard!). They did a very good job and I was pleasantly surprised. Located in a quiet food court. read more

On the way home from the Bay Area, we stopped by Honey Tea for a quick refresher. I got the Brown Sugar Latte with boba, I opted for 100% sugar level, but I think it could used a little bit more. My wife got the traditional Milk Tea with boba and 25% sugar level, and she said it was perfect. This place is located inside the food court of a strip-mall. Plenty of parking outside and ample seating inside the food court. Recommended if you're looking for a quick boba fix :) read more

Honey Tea is located in the food court area of the shopping center. One of several boba places in this shopping center, it certainly has some competition just outside of its doors. Since it's in the food court, it's a smaller shop, and fighting for seating here sometimes during peak hours is a pain since there's only so many seats in there with everything else in that food court. Their menu is pretty decent. It's a self-order place too, so you just order at the kiosk. Today I got the standard milk tea with boba. It was actually better than I thought it would be. The milk tea flavor and balances were good. The boba itself in there was also good, nice and QQ. Price wise, it was about the same as the other spots in this shopping center. Overall, pretty good, albeit, my expectations were pretty low, and previous attempts to drink here were thwarted by just not feeling it. It's pretty good, so perhaps will try them out again next visit to this shopping center since I usually find myself here from time to time anyways. read more

The drinks tasted syrupy and were a little too sweet. The sweetness tasted like artificial sweetener and wasn't good. Prices are typical and not cheap. Located inside the Pacific Pearl food court. Place is falling apart but this one looked to be still standing. Not great. The seating is plenty and nice though. read more

My family and I wanted something refreshing to drink and stopped by this place which is located inside the eatery in the Pacific Pearl shopping center. I ordered the strawberry yogurt shake, my daughter ordered a Thai tea w/ boba, and my nephew ordered the pineapple yogurt mousse shake. All were very flavorful, tasty, and refreshing. I would like to come and try other drinks whenever in the area again. read more

I came to the food court to quickly pick up some roast duck from S&J BBQ and while I was waiting, I figured I give Honey Tea a try since I've seen it many times. Whenever I try a new boba spot, I typically go with something classic. So I tried Jasmine Green Milk Tea with boba, 50% ice and sugar. Unfortunately I was very disappointed by the entire drink. It lack the tea flavor, the milk tasted like bland powder (though I know most places using milk powder), and there wasn't any sweetness. Not that it would help since the drink had no flavor. Don't think I'll give it another try. read more

Best fruit tea I ever had so far at East Bay I would say. I and my husband always seeking a good fruit tea near around East valley, because we are so picky about the taste that is hard to get a right fruit tea. Until we found Honey tea this summer! I love this tropical passion fruit Tea which has a lot of fresh passion fruit in it! And 50% sweet here is good to me (their homemade sugar syrup is so good and healthy) We hate oversweet drinks, so we usually order with 25% sweet or even no sweet at other fruit tea stores. But here 50% is perfect taste to us! read more

I tried the Mango Passion Licious, which comes as large by default, with light ice, 75% sweetness, and lychee jelly. I definitely tasted the fruit and honey although there's still the very slight bitter tang of the tea, and felt it was still pretty sweet at 75%. I do like the lychee jelly and the overall fruitiness of the drink. However, I would say their drinks are rather expensive as it was already over $6 not including tax and tip. read more

Love their teas and having a fresh fruit options. My favorite is their jasmine green milk tea. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The brown sugar milk tea with boba (medium, less ice, normal sugar) was perfect today. Well-balanced flavors of brown sugar and tea. Just enough milk. The boba cooked just right with a nice chewy texture. read more

Finished shopping at the outlets and the girls wanted boba! I jumped on Yelp and saw that someone had posted a poor review. It was written bad so i guessed it was just another whiner in the world and i'm SUPER GLAD I CAME OVER!! My daughters loved their drinks, waffles and I got a popcorn chicken snack too! EXCELLENT service, drinks, food and time had by all. 5 Stars team, well done read more

I remember going here on July 3rd in 2021 during a day in Pleasanton with my sisters. I got the Strawberry Lemon Slushy since it was hot outside. A slushy is always perfect for a hot day during summer. The drink was not too sweet. Boba was good too, a little chewy, but still I loved it. read more

First of all, WOW!!! They use fresh fruit when making their drinks and you can tell the difference! It's a bit pricey than most boba spots, but the freshness makes all the difference! This is located inside the Pacific Food Hall at the corner next to the KW restaurant. There are so many different type of drink categories and some I want to come back and try are the mousse and lattes. Some drinks are only made for large cups, like the avocado smoothie and some fruit teas, and the rest you could upgrade for the large. Like most places, you can adjust the sweetness and ice level. Though, the sweetness level is different for all because I ordered the Hawaii breeze 50% sugar and it ended up being a bit too sour. So be mindful! Notes: -toppings are 60 cents extra -extra straws are 25 cents read more

It is a pretty small location inside of a food court. They opened at 12pm and I got there at around 12:10pm and there was already a line. We later found out that the line was due to the self- kiosk confusion. Although there was a sign to self order, it was still pretty confusing to order since it is the same kiosk as where you would pay usually. After we ordered, we still had to wait almost 15 minutes for our 2 drinks since there were only 2 people working. I got the Grapefruit Crisp 50% sugar w/ Aloe and it was pretty refreshing during a hot day. I like that there are grapefruit bits in it but there were also some bitter parts that I did not like in my drink. There other drinks looked yummy too and I would come back to try it! read more

If you are looking for something refreshing and a little bit of tart this Tropical Passion is hands down the drink for you! You can tell that they use real fruit as described on their menu since I can taste and fresh pineapple juice and passion fruit after trying this drink. Be aware that there are passion fruit seeds but I don't mind the crispy bits that you get to experience. I can't wait to try more of their drinks. Happy customer here and definitely will be coming back for more! Don't miss out on this hidden gem inside Pacific food hall. read more

Sorry but not sorry, Honey Tea. As much as I'm about supporting local business, I was not impressed with the quality of their drinks. This plaza has a ton of dessert options, and this would probably be the last place I consider. +1 great customer service! +1 expansive menu +1 they use real fruits for their fruit drinks -1 brown sugar not good - tasted extremely fake -1 boba was bland and flavorless - at least it had a decent chew read more

Had the Taro Milk Tea with Boba (non-dairy) with 50% sugar and it was just ok. Didn't like that you could only get the Large Size option, and it was $5.45. Would probably not try again since it took about 20 minutes to get our 1 drink. read more

Honey Tea is a small boba stall in the corner of the Pacific Food Hall in the Pacific Pearl plaza. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot as well. Service is eh - not the most friendly employees, but at the same time, they are not rude as well. Drinks take awhile, but I think it is because they may get a bit busy and they are short staffed, so it good to have some patience. They have a lot of drink options to choose from for a small place, especially in a food court setting. I chose my usual drink - the jasmine milk tea with boba. I honestly did not have high expectations, but it was not too bad - the drink was decent - it had half creaminess and half tea taste to it which I enjoyed for the most part. read more

This unassuming store is a tiny mom and pop shop located in the Pacific Pearl food court (diagonally across the street from the Livermore Outlets), owned by the kindest and most hardworking owner. Most of the time she is brewing all of their really unique drinks herself, but sometimes she has some help from local high schoolers. Regardless, their grapefruit tea (called "Grapefruit Crisp") is hands down the best I've ever had (I drink quite a bit of grapefruit tea from a lot of places.) What makes hers different is that you can really taste the fresh grapefruit and other citrus fruit, carefully mixed together with other quality ingredients to create a high quality, refreshing tea. Because she has limited staff members, it can sometimes take some time for her to prepare your drinks as she always does so meticulously. You'll want to place your order at the digital kiosk and then wait patiently. If you do, I'm pretty sure you'll find her drinks well worth the wait. Very highly recommend to anyone who is visiting the outlet center! I happen to visit the outlets frequently, and so whenever I do I make sure to drop by this shop. Their tea is the best not only in the outlet vicinity, but in my opinion is one of the most flavorful and refreshing fruit teas anywhere in Norcal. Sounds like lofty praise, but the quality is really that good. I think they're a hidden gem for sure. read more

Came here for some boba after spending the day at the Outlet Mall nearby. While I've tried some of the other boba establishments nearby, this was the first time I've ever been to Honey Tea. Unlike their nearby competitors, Honey Tea actually does not have a standalone store-front. Instead, it is located inside the Pacific Food Hall, all the way at the corner at the very end. If we had not found them on Yelp initially, we honestly would not have known they even exist. Their bobas here are definitely a bit on the pricier end, but we found the drink rather refreshing. We ordered a large Kawaii Breeze with Boba, which consisted of passion fruit, pineapple, and green tea. The wait time was a bit long after placing the order, and we stood around for about 15mins or so. read more

This small boba stall is located in the Pacific Food Hall (food court) of the Pacific Pearl Plaza. We ordered the following drinks: Matcha Oreo Milk Tea: I originally asked for 25% sugar, but the worker informed me that the Matcha may be more bitter in taste, so I adjusted it to 50%. It was a good amount of sweetness. I don't recommend getting any toppings, as you get sips of Oreo chunks. It was pretty good. Thai Tea with ice cream: I ordered this with 75% sugar, but I should have adjusted this to 50% sugar. The drink itself was sweet, but when you mix in ice cream, it was even sweeter. It sounded good on the menu, but it wasn't all that special. Kumquat Yakult: I wanted to try one of their fruit teas. It was my favorite of the three drinks. It was refreshing with a tart citrus taste. read more

TLDR; our drinks were delicious and sweet, would recommend 50-75% for sweetness We love this food hall and have tried maybe half the spots inside. Honey Tea is good! We came by after eating elsewhere in the Pearl Plaza and ordered two drinks here. Staff were helpful and accommodating. Their creme foam is a little unique--it's definitely a sweet salty foam, slightly different than the cheese foams at other places but just as yummy. Experience was great, no issues. Would come back again if I was in the area! read more

Great location if you're looking for boba/drinks/food and just need to grab a quick bite. I ordered the fresh taro with boba and it was different.

Having recently enriched ourselves in a new , fascinating culture of Stockton , CA, we decided to continue on this journey and embrace ourselves in the asian and pacific culture making our way on a quick little day trip with our first stop being the Pacific Food Hall. Walking in we were met with a bright and warming ambiance and I was in love instantly. We tried 2 spots here and our first choice , being the Boba connoisseur that I am, was Honey Tea! I went with my go to , the brown sugar milk team, regular sweet. It was cooling, refreshing and the perfect balance of sweetness and tea. Downed it in under 5 minutes! My sweetie Barry got a fizzy mango lemonade , less sweet (he knows why) with extra ice. The menu options can be overwhelming so I would recommend checking the menu ahead of time. My only gripe is that there is no option for extra ice but the sweet employee was prompt and I let her know , she accommodated and even got our attention while making the drinks, asking if the amount of ice was adequate! Love this place , blows the new place in Modesto out of the water, will definitely be back! read more

Food/Drink: 2 out of 3 I decided to give this place a try after our dinner at the Pacific Pearl. On their menu, Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba was indicated as one of their popular drinks, so we decided to try it. We also ordered Oolong Milk Tea with Boba. Both drinks tasted just fine, but it didn't really blow our minds. The boba was soft and sweet, which I really liked. But unfortunately the milk tea tasted more watered down to me than rich and creamy, which was a shame. And I strangely tasted earl gray in my Brown Sugar Milk Tea (was I tripping? I hope I was because I really hate earl gray!). Overall, I would use "decent" to describe my drinks, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to say they were special enough to make we wanna go back. But I dunno, I might be willing to try it again at least once. Price: 0 out of 1 My first reaction when I saw the price was, wow, really competitive. They seemed pretty cheap. But when I saw their "medium" size was only 16 oz (while other boba places use 24-oz cups for their medium/regular size), it didn't feel like a good deal anymore. Also, the cost to upsize a drink here was $1, as opposed to the regular 50 cents by other boba shops. So, I don't know. When you do the math, you see the drink just isn't so cheap anymore. Service and Everything Else: 0 out of 1 The girl who helped us wasn't exactly super friendly either so I couldn't give any star in the service department. She didn't smile or anything the entire time we placed our order. Not that she was obligated to smile, but that certainly would make customers feel more welcome. I wanted to punch in my phone number for the Fivestar reward, and she said it wasn't working at the time and didn't sound apologetic at the slightest. Man oh man, not only wasn't the price exactly cheap, I couldn't even get any point for my two drinks. Yeah, nope, overall it just wasn't a really good satisfying experience. Overall: 2 out of 5 read more

This place is not very eye catching but located at a convenient corner of this Pacific Hall food court. It's perfect place to get a milk tea or any tea drink while dining at this food court. They serve delicious drinks. I've dropped by twice so far and loved their drinks. I've tried the hot taro milk tea and taro latte. Obviously I'm a taro lover but I really can't wait to try their other drinks next time. Their taro latte is so good. They put chunks of soft sweet and delicious taro into the drink. It's thick and flavorful but not overpowering. It's almost like a hot sweet taro soup. This is perfect for a cold day and needing some warming up. The taro milk tea is similar but have more tea flavor which is great on some days depending on the mood I'm in. My hubby got just a regular milk tea which is very delicious too. Can't wait to go back and try their other drink soon. Hopefully it'll be a warm day next time I go so I can try one of their cold drinks! read more

Must try this spot! I have tried many drinks from honey tea and have never been disappointed. Their fruit teas are the best I've ever had, no other boba shop compares. Many shops use artificial fruit syrups but honey tea uses the real fruit juice which tastes SO much better. I've also tried their other drink options like milk teas and yogurt mousse which are also really good. You have to try their fruit teas though, I swear they are so good! Also, the employees and owner are always so friendly and helpful. They have a self checkout kiosk which is super easy to order through. Currently I'm obsessed with their mango kumquat tea, it's so refreshing. This spot is a hidden gem in the food court next to ranch 99, there's lots of great food options around too which is nice. If you're ever in the Pleasanton area check out this shop!! read more

Honestly, their drinks are good, customer service sucks. I don't care if you think a customer is wrong; they are always right and you try to accommodate them.

I love the little food court here in Livermore. There are some really cute cafes that have very kind owners. I want them to survive during Covid-19. We took my son to get drinks and walk around.

Hubs got the citrus blast and he said his was a bit weak also. Please support this business! read more
