    This business is so supportive of their community. I was contacted for an opportunity to fundraise as a local nonprofit as was other incredible groups. Som was so amazing to work with! She made everything SO EASY. It was my first time trying Boboa and she helped me figure out what I would like and not to take the top off! ‍ I really appreciated how sweet she was to each and every cuatom

    Located right next to County Square Market in Vacaville. Not the most updated looking boba shop but their drinks are pretty decent! Lots of variety. I usually go with their Ube Yama. It's not too sweet which I like. Friendly staff & good service.

    Decent drinks and decent snacks! This Milk Tea Lab location is next to County Square Market. I ordered a large passion fruit iceez with boba and it rang out to be $6, which isn't too terrible for the size of the drink. My only gripe was the boba was too warm for the slushie and it melted a bit if my drink. At least that's how I knew the boba was relatively fresh! The popcorn chicken here is pretty good and came out fresh.

    Yummy Boba catered to your taste! Yummy food sides to go with the Boba The chicken was yummy spicy (definitely five slices in there) spiciness went well with Boba. Loved the takoyaki, each bight had a nice piece of octopus topped with takoyaki sauce, keeping mayo, and shredded seaweed. Flavors were great. Gave two cute picks to have fun spearing your food. Fun eating experience. Lots of different flavors (sadly no Avocado). Choose Tea or Milk (or smoothie). Pre-made selection if you don't want to think. My hubby and I tried the ube and taro both with honey Boba. Both 50% sweet UBE was the winner .. Taro which was warned repeatedly was grainy definitely had more of the earthy taro taste. While Ube was stronger and sweeter. I came back and tried the egg custard and Ube. That was yummy not as eggy or rich Luke flan. But gave a nice creamy texture rather then chewy Boba. Great service Clean establishment.

    I have been to another location before in the Bay Area and couldn't remember anything spectacular. We stopped in here since we had some time to kill and I'm always down for 1) milk tea and 2) a place I haven't reviewed yet. The menu is pretty straightforward. I think the best part was the "lab baby" part - a mini drink menu for kids under 10! As a boba lover with a bun in the oven, I thought that was adorable. I have been a fan of peach lately so I opted for the peach milk tea. I am not big on toppings but they do have a great selection here. I wasn't planning on getting any but the mango boba caught my eye and it sounded like it would pair well with my peach drink! It was a great pairing. Even though I got half sugar and less ice, the drink was still on the sweeter side for me. My husband's coffee milk tea had regular sugar/ice and was equally sweet and creamy with a hint of coffee. Service was okay. Cashier asked if we were ready to order and then started doing something else, then came back to us and acted like she was the one waiting... Oh well. The guy making drinks was fast. Our drinks were ready faster than how long we waited to order. Decent option for milk tea if there's nothing around. I'd come here over something like a Quickly but it's not my first choice.

    Cute place! Awesome lighting and decor. Pretty extensive menu and lots of seating. Could've been a nice place to study before covid. I got the passionfruit 101, a mix of fruit juice, boba, and lychee jelly. It was pretty good, still plenty sweet at 0% sugar! I really liked the periodic table of milk tea lab.

    My chicken popcorn awhile ago was overcooked. I was too excited to eat but then it was too hard to chew. So disappointing. I was so hungry.

    Gotta give this place 5 stars for exceptional customer service. This was my first time coming into this Milk Tea Lab and wasn't sure what I'd expect. I've been to numerous tea shops and boba shops so j wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary. There were 3 patrons before me waiting for their order and as I stepped in the gentleman at the counter communicated that he'd be right with me. He assisted one other person make drinks and as soon as he made sure the other patrons were taken care of he proceeded to take my order. He was extremely informative and suggested a few things. He gave me a few options and I placed my order. I don't like my drinks too sweet so i requested 25% sweetness. As he was making my drink, he offered to have me sample the drink so far to make sure it was to my liking. He also informed me that he could always make it sweeter but not less at that point. It was perfect. My popcorn chicken came out quickly too. My wait was less than 7 minutes after I placed my order and the chicken was piping hot. I always appreciate when communication is done early to set expectations. The gentleman at the counter was polite and knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. He definitely contributed to a great experience that I wasn't expecting.

    Really good boba, but the wait was longer than it should have been. The girl apologized for the wait. I don't recall there being a sign posted for the maximum ppl allowed at any given time but as we waited for our order, the girls working there would tell people in line to step outside if there were too many ppl inside in line. Some of the positives: the menu is extensive and creative. I ordered a cupid tonic which was a lychee flavored fizzy drink with a blue tint which was tasty and fun. We also ordered a peach green tea, mango 101 (with boba and lychee jelly) and red bean milk tea. All of our drinks were really good and I would go back for more. Best thing might be to order ahead of time.

    Oct 2022 3.5 rounded up Milk Tea Lab is located in a strip mall next to an Asian supermarket. There's plenty of parking. I stopped by since I was passing through Vacaville. The cashier was friendly and the other employee working quickly and efficiently made my drink. I was debating between their roasted milk tea w/ grass jelly and their jasmine milk tea with honey boba. I ended up getting their jasmine MT w/ honey boba. The jasmine tea has the nice floral taste it should have and the boba was cooked right. I was able to adjust the sweetness level of my drink so I asked for light sweet. It satisfied my cravings so I see myself coming back to try their roasted MT. Keep in mind they change 4% SVC fee unless you pay with cash.

    This is probably the only decent boba place in Vacaville besides peace, love boba and they desperately needed more options. I like how there are unique fruity offerings here and milk teas as well. I've been more in a fruity mood lately so I've really enjoyed the mango lover drink from here and some other fruit teas. The mango lover is more of a mango slush with popping mango boba. It's really refreshing on a hot day. I also have tried the jasmine milk tea, at times it's a bit inconsistent sometimes it's too sweet and other times the tea is not strong enough. But overall, majority of the time it's been decent. The popcorn chicken is also decent. It's got big juicy chunks of chicken thigh that's perfectly seasoned and perfectly fried. Definitely the top snack to get there if you like chicken. Will be back for more boba here in the future! Hopefully it stays for a while! Totals for 2 drinks: $11

    Dropped by and ordered the organic Jasmine milk tea. I've read other people complain about their drinks tasting watered down and I definitely noticed a difference. I heard all their drinks are dairy free, which definitely affects the richness of the drink. I didn't see it advertised as so and it's a little misleading. The flavor of the Jasmine is actually really good. The boba is on the softer and chewier side which I don't like. There were a bunch of people here so service was quite slow. They have a ramen machine here which is interesting but I didn't try it. I'd definitely come back to try their Italian soda drinks but the boba was mediocre in my opinion.

    Finally, a place close by when I need my boba fix after grocery shopping our out and about within the area. The place is clean and workers are friendly. Just be aware of the menu on the left fat side of the right wall, it's just there for decoration (as I was told). I ordered roasted milk tea with 50% sweetness, light ice and extra honey boba. Yes, their boba is unique as it definitely has a touch of honey sweetness to it hence it's name honey boba. The boba pearls are chewy, right sweetness and consistency as you chew and sip your concoction of drink. I will definitely be back for more especially when in the area.

Monday had a completely different dynamic. From the very beginning, the staff was huddled by the juice press complaining about the music playlist and debating how & who was going to address the problem of the music playlist (or lack thereof - not sure which). Eventually, one of them acknowledged us and took our order. We sat down to wait and that's when the cashier walked over to the staff that was standing by the juice press and they continued complaining about the "playlist" or creating a playlist or something *I dunno* All I know is that one person was standing at the juice press and waiting for something and the other employee just stood there talking to her about the music playlist and who is "going to tell him". It was a full 6 minutes of us just sitting there. Nobody was even attempting to start my coffee order. My husband finally got up and told them that we are on a timeline. That's when the employee standing next to the employee staring at the juice press walked over to the Expresso machine and started to make my drink. Then they made it incorrectly, giving me only 2 shots not the 3 that I paid for. Then she proceeded to dump some of the liquid from the cup out and simply added another shot. This is wrong on so many levels. The coffee is delicious, the cold pressed juices are fresh and perfectly balanced. The customer service is hit/miss. Oh, and the tip jar is back front and center. Ironic that is is the last thing I was willing to do after the crappy service. PS Not sure what all the fuss is about the music playlist, BUT it's a BIG F*ing Deal for Mondays staff. Please address it so that they can focus on making coffee. Thanks.

There is now a Tesla Supercharger so navigate to that instead of the cafe so that your Tesla preconditions while you enjoy your morning. They no longer support their own app and have turned the keys over to Square to create an account to make it easier to pay and reorder. The ready times you get in the app are later than it's usually ready so I recommend giving them 10-20 minutes lead time. Here's my rating of the variety of foods and drinks I've tried. Undertow - 8 - Fun twist on a cortado as the half and half is cold and they add a splash of vanilla. The hot espresso is carefully floated on top of the milk so that when you drink you feel the cold "underflow" of vanilla milk. Cortado- 8 - Small but powerful sip of espresso. I prefer it with half and half and a touch of sugar over Journey's method but it is a tasty sip. Lavender Latte - -10 - the best version of a lavender latte you'll ever have. Cherry Blossom Latte - 9 - The cherry syrup is very forward but blends nicely into the latte which gives it light finish. The coffee does get a touch lost so add an extra shot. Citrus Cocoa Latte - 9 - The orange syrup is prevalent throughout the drink but the cocoa starts to stand up more the last half of the drink. I don't prefer chocolate drinks but this doesn't taste like a mocha at all. Very well done Journey!!! Veggie n Egg Breakfast Wrap - 7 - Light and flavorful but needs some pop from another ingredient. I recommend using the Tapatio hit sauce to elevate it above our 7 rating for those that want some pop of flavor and can handle spice. Breakfast Hand Pie - 6 - The pastry wasn't crispy but it did have some crispy seeds on it to save the texture, a bit gummy for my liking. The filling was also creamy with more cheese than needed (and I love cheese). Although good, I wouldn't get it again because the flavor of the filling fell flat. First Class Wrap - 10 - If you can handle spice, the chipotle sauce is amazing amidst the variety of ingredients. This is my go-to and everybody I introduce it to gets it as well. Every business partner I've introduced this right off the freeway coffee stop has loved and kept as their own. It's a no brainer if you're headed down I-80.
