I'm gonna be honest, I had their matcha from their OG store in Westwood when they were called Sip! I always thought their matcha was good, but I only got to enjoy it when I was going to school around there which was brief! Aside from now aging myself, I got the Guava Matcha from them and the employee recommended getting less sweet if I don't like overly sweet drinks. I have to say, it was perfect sweetness for me! The balance of matcha flavor and guava was 5/5. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm shopping in the area. It was satisfying and makes me crave their matcha!

The staff was welcoming every time I opened the door. They were kind enough to tell me which seasonal drinks I could adjust to oat milk, and the rest you can adjust the sweetness and add toppings for an extra charge. I tried their Snoopy Chocolate Hazelnut Matcha Latte with oat milk, less sweetness, and less ice. There was a strong Nutella flavor with good consistency, but the matcha wasn't strong enough for me when I didn't mix it. I even got myself a Snoopy matcha plush keychain as my birthday gift for $18, which is pricey but durable enough to hang on your bag. It's a pretty small shop, yet it's covered in cute and colorful decor. Plus, the tables are clean since most customers usually wait for their drinks and leave rather than sit down.

When you walk in, there are two little kiosks where you place your order, which makes it quick and easy. They also have a stamp card, so after so many visits you get a free drink, which is always a nice bonus. What I'm probably most excited about is their mochi donut selection. They rotate flavors weekly, which is fun because there's always something new to try. Nothing jumped out to me the day I went, but I've seen flavors like black sesame and a few others that I definitely want to come back and try. The inside is really cute--lots of pink and green with a fun vibe. It's a nice little spot to grab a drink, sit and chill for a bit, or snap a quick photo. I'll definitely be back to check out more of the donut flavors.

They were so happy we dined in which is a nice feeling. We started with fried eggrolls which was delicious. I like how they are long and aren't cut in half. I do wish they served fish sauce with the eggrolls as opposed to sweet chili sauce. I enjoyed my grilled pork chop plate, but I was hoping it would come with a sunny-side egg on top of the rice as a standard. The pork chop is pretty small too; I wish they were bigger pieces like at most Pho restaurants. Nonetheless, it was so good and paired perfectly with their house made chili oil. My wife loved her combo pho which had a nice, tasty broth, generous portions of beef and other meats, etc. Lastly, my son loved his kids rice & beef; the beef was sweet like bulgogi. I think every table should automatically have the chili oil on deck though because it enhances the flavors and just tastes delicious. If it wasn't for the employee offering us the chili, we would've never known. We had a great time and will definitely keep coming back especially since it's on the way home.

The Asian guy (owner or co-owner) is really rude.

I was then curious about the businesses in Mountain House since it's comparatively a new development, and I saw THub Cafe. Thinking it was just another boba cafe, seeing that it also has biryani made me want to visit asap. My mom was curious, too, so we drove out there after finishing our errands. We got the paneer biryani, which is considered a favorite, along with boba teas to take home. We also added samosas because why not? The biryani was pretty good! I don't know how made-to-order this is... I have a feeling it's made ahead of time, and either refrigerated or frozen, then reheated. But it's delicious nonetheless. The flavors are herbaceous and spicy. Note: if you're sensitive to spice, do not get this as even the mild version has a good kick. I also liked the texture of the paneer and the perfectly cooked rice. The samosas were fine. They're smaller than what you would normally get at a restaurant, but that didn't bother me since it came with four or five. Plus, it's a part of their snack options, so I expected them to be small. The dough was on the softer side, and the potatoes inside were fluffy and lightly seasoned. It actually helped subside the spiciness of the biryani. The boba teas were pretty good. I got a passion fruit one with 25% sugar and it was already too sweet for me. I think I'll opt for no sugar on drinks where that is customizable. The boba itself was chewy yet firm and had a subtle brown sugar flavor. Service was friendly. They made sure to check in on us regarding the biryani as that took awhile (but not like incredibly long). The space was clean with a good amount of seating. There isn't a lot of parking in the lot itself, but plenty of street parking as it's in a neighborhood. I would totally come back here if I was in the area for the biryani alone.

In short, boba texture and cook were good, but very sweet. The drink was a bit watered down, but had a strong tea flavor (for the classic milk tea) though not true with the Oreo milk tea. Wish that no sugar and ice levels were a standard option when ordering. Perhaps I'll stick to the fruit creamas for next retry. A little pricey, but an okay option for boba. L O C A T I O N Bobafinitea is located inside Mochiholic inside the plaza off of Rosewood Dr and Santa Rita Rd. It's in the same plaza as Total Wine and 99 Ranch. The parking lot it shared by all the other establishments, but I've always found parking immediately in front of the shop. I N S I D E There are two self ordering kiosks to the right where you can choose to get drinks and/or donuts. There were several seats for waiting to pick up your order. They have their own rewards system on the kiosks. I don't recall which it was but it was not Five Stars. It does remember how many orders you've gotten. M E N U The menu has special seasonal items as well as "combos" with mochi donuts and drinks. They have milk teas, matcha drinks, fruit creama drinks, butterfly pea lemonade, smoothies, and coffee. I don't understand why there's no normal tea with creama drinks. I typically like just a standard oolong with creama when I don't want toppings. I'm sure it's possible but I'm sure you pay the normal price. Speaking of pricing. It's a little higher than regular spots. Starts roughly at $6 with no toppings to $7 for the seasonal drinks which sometimes already have toppings in them already. Toppings are $0.50 for relatively everything and $0.75 for crystal boba. The menu feels pretty straight forward but again the struggle bus happens when using the self ordering kiosks. Today I struggled a bit with the software as I did a search initially for "oreo" and when trying to order other drinks, you would think you can just click on other areas of the menu but nope, you have to clear out that search term before anything else pops up. I thought I was stuck and nothing was responding for a little while. But luckily clicking on the search term got me to the "clearing" of the term. There are sometimes options and no option for drinks. When placing the order for the Oreo milk tea, the first option to select was just sugar level. I didn't see an option to pick black, green or oolong, so I ended up entering it in the special instructions. I didn't like that there wasn't an option for ice level or "no" sugar level. I forgot to add instructions about ice, but I did say "no sugar if possible" for both my drinks. I generally don't like ice in my drinks as it waters it down and I like to control my ice if I do need to add it. Also I typically don't get sugar in my drinks especially if I get a topping as the toppings typically are sweet. I got a normal oolong milk tea, no sugar with ice and boba. With the ice the drink did feel more watered down which I was afraid of. The boba actually had a nice texture and chew but unfortunately, very very sweet. I'm really really glad I asked for no additional sugar or more so I'm glad the employee was able to do no sugar in my drink. Otherwise, the oolong was very present and had a lovely flavor. I had a sip of the Oreo Milk Tea (Oolong base, no sugar, with ice and boba). It was definitely a dessert in a cup. The Oreo felt like it was crushed Oreos including the cream. But that was pretty much the only thing you could taste and it clashed with the sweetener used in the boba. I can't imagine how this drink would be with additional sugar and REALLY glad there was no additional sugar added because it was definitely a sugar rush with my one sip. You couldn't really taste the tea base which was a shame and the main flavor profile you taste is the Oreo. Great if you really love Oreo and not wanting to taste the tea. I would highly suggest getting no sugar unless you do have a super sweet tooth (which I do not). S E R V I C E The person who made my drinks was very nice and also let me know he didn't add additional sugar as I requested which I really appreciated. I was the only one there and it took not too long to get my drinks. Everything was nicely packaged in a bag fit for two drinks. It was cute! O V E R A L L For a classic milk tea with boba, $6.50 is steep. I probably won't be back for a standard drink. I would probably also stay away from the boba topping as it was definitely too sweet for me. I wish there was a "no sugar" option outside of entering text as well as ice level options on all drinks. Perhaps their other drinks are a little more worth it. But if you do have a sweet tooth for drinks and also like mochi donuts, this would be your go to place. I at least won't completely rule this place out for my boba Tuesdays. It may just be more creama Tuesdays :)
