How have I never seen this shop before? I was seriously on a mission to find boba since moving here from the city and I'm like where is everything?!? Lo and behold, my friend was gate keeping Mr Green Bubble! [[HIGHLIGHT]]With so much excite we enter the establishment and we see the kiosks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friend places her order in like 1.5 seconds and I look at her and she's like "oh I know what I want". So I'm looking at the menu and I'm like whoa, matcha something something with boba and popcorn chicken. Done and done. Less than 5 mins later our order comes out and I'm like. Wait what? I don't have to wait 30 mins like in the city? Nope. Instant gratification! The boba was so fresh, like literally just made. And the popcorn chicken -- noms. I'm sure there's MSG because it "makes shxt good"! I'm a happy camper and I'll be coming here more often. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quick, easy, clean, and satisfying.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks! read more

Refreshing drinks and a cozy neighborhood boba spot Stopped by Mr. Green Bubble in Oakland and tried the mango aloe and matcha latte. The mango aloe was light, refreshing, and perfect for a warm day. The mango flavor tasted fruity and vibrant, while the aloe added a nice texture and made the drink feel extra refreshing. The matcha latte was smooth and creamy with a pleasant earthy matcha flavor that wasn't overly sweet. Service was friendly and efficient, and the drinks were prepared quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is casual and welcoming, making it a nice place to grab a drink or catch up with friends. The shop has a relaxed neighborhood feel that makes you want to stay a little longer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, a solid boba spot with refreshing drinks and friendly service. I'd come back to explore more of the menu. read more

Green bubble brings back a lot of memories for me! I definitely had been here multiple times, and have tried multiple items on the menu. I most recently ordered the popcorn chicken and mango peach slushy for my boyfriend. This place is incredibly nostalgic for me, so I was glad the flavor and taste of the drinks and food were still the same. Mr green bubble isn't my go-to, but I'd like to say the service and drinks/food are decent. read more

Mr. Green Bubble is your typical boba place... with a couple combinations that make ordering a little more, a little easier. I ordered a taro milk tea w/ black tea boba. It was my first time trying this flavor boba & it was delicious. I also ordered the combo with fries... and they were alright! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is cute and there is enough space to sit and enjoy your food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I paid with a swipe only card, which they were kind enough to process at the counter rather than the touch screen ordering system they have, which doesn't accept swipe payments, only chip. read more

I purchased a Thai milk tea and asked to substitute it with 2% milk. It cost an additional dollar. The drink taste like plain water. There is a spoiled milk taste in the drink. I am very disappointed with this. I have purchased drinks from here before but today was disgusting. read more

Amazingly spicy and crispy popcorn chicken! This has been a long-time classic spot for boba and popcorn chicken. I'm glad thy have a combo option and kiosks to speed up the ordering process. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a modern cafe with assorted seating inside too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The milk tea is on the sweeter side so I'd get half sweet next time I go. The boba is perfectly chewy and not overcooked. read more

The garlic fries were literally fries with spoonfuls of minced garlic on top, and the coffee milk tea tasted so awful it was like watered down instant coffee with no milk in it. If I had time I would have asked for a refund but I had to rush and just threw it away. I don't like to waste food or money but that was undrinkable. Also want to note that it would be nice to have a sign to order at the self serve kiosks especially if staff are not going to take orders or say anything while you stand at the front counter. My friend ordered a mango sago and the popcorn chicken was good read more

Ordered online before getting to the shop. Was mainly going for the oreo egg waffle but saw that there was a combo with boba I can do so I added a thai bubble milk tea. Total came out to ~15.30. There were actually a decent amount of orders being prepared. They have a screen that tells you what orders are ready and what orders are still in progress which is pretty nice. Oreo egg waffle was good, a bit on the smaller side for the price imo. Thai milk tea with almond milk tasted average at best. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not too much seating available, but it seemed like most people order and leave anyways.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall just a typical boba spot. read more

Organic Honeybush Tea (decaf) - no sugar - regular portion of ice - hit the spot on a warm day in Oakland. Simple and refreshing. Popcorn chicken is a must here if you're craving a fried snack - you can request different spice levels. Sweet and Sour and Ranch sauce packets also available upon request. Happy Hour on certain drinks Monday-Thursday, 1pm - 6pm - but only if you order on the Kiosk - found out after ordering but now I know (and you know) for next time. read more

Drinks are great, but the points can only be used for a very limited number of items on the menu, none of which I want. Literally hundreds of points that will never get used, which is perhaps exactly what they're hoping for. read more

This place no longer scratches the boba itch for me. I ordered their Thai green tea and it was super mediocre. I wouldn't be able to tell what I'm drinking if I were to be blindfolded. The boba consistency is also bad :(. It's unfortunate because there are very limited options here. Nothing bad to say against the staff but please improve your drinks! read more

Nice quick stop if you are in the area. Thai milk tea with boba, 75% ice and sweet. With oat milk, but didn't have much flavor, maybe not enough sweet or creamy. A bit watery. Boba was nice and chewy. read more

Ordering online for pickup was easy, and everything was ready on time. I grabbed my drinks and popcorn chicken without any issues. The boba had that nice snap I like and the sweetness was balanced. The specialty jasmine tea was solid too. Overall, good quality and definitely better than most chains, even if it didn't really stand out. What was frustrating was paying an extra $0.25 to have the spice separated from the popcorn chicken, and it still came mixed. That detail mattered, and it was overlooked. Not a huge deal for everyone, but it made a difference for me. Good drinks, decent food, just wish the order instructions were followed more carefully. read more

This is a solid place for boba with a good selection on their menu. The employees seemed friendly. I ordered thru the kiosk in the front. This place can be slow as they do get a lot of orders and not as many workers. So order online before you get to the place is recommended. Very rough street parking- I've always had challenges finding a spot. I resorted to parking on the streets on the side and walk in if I have to do anything on Piedmont Ave. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't notice any bathroom for customers just fyi~ read more

I work nearby and Mr. Green Bubble is a staple for me and everyone I work with! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean and has great music[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the drinks are delicious and made to order - you get your choice for add-ons, amount of ice, sweetness, etc - and the employees working there are always kind, helpful, and attentive whenever I walk in. I already recommend this place to everyone I know; now I'm recommending it to you too! 10/10 read more

My friends and I came to Mister Green Bubble in the 30 mins before they closed and we were greeted by a brightly lit and clean shop. We ordered on the tablets in the front, which made it easy to all get our orders in quickly. I got the taro milk tea with 50% sweet and less ice. The drink came with boba already so I didn't need to add that on. The drink itself needed more taro flavor and I think the boba was pretty soft from being the last order at the end of the day. Even with less ice it tasted quite watered down. I think if I came back during the day the drinks would be better, but I think this is just a middle of the road boba spot. read more

My husband and I came here on a Tuesday night to grab a quick snack - popcorn chicken, spice level 3 with extra basil. Chicken was tasty as it was nice and fresh. We didn't order anything to drink.

This place was recommended by a friend. Finally got the chance to check it out. Ordered their recommended popcorn chicken and mango lychee green tea with boba. ordering off the kiosk was simply and easy. Wait time was quick. One of the best popcorn chicken I ever had. Really liked that they fried the chicken with the basil giving it that extra umami flavor! Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the other things! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Seems to be a very popular place for high schoolers to hang out after school[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] my son and I went in there and I ordered an Earl grey milk tea no boba and popcorn chicken, level 3 for spicy. Our order took a while, but the popcorn chicken was pretty good and the Earl Grey milk tea was little on the unsweetened side even though it was 50%. It was OK and I enjoyed my popcorn chicken. More service was a little under average, I kind of felt that the person taking our order at the cashier was getting impatient with us or he was just apathetic to our order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place though![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Got a standard milk tea with boba. 0% sugar and ice. It was good. Parking was super hard to find. Not bad. I'd come back if I was in the area to try their other drinks. read more

Not sure about the negative reviews, but I had a very positive experience here. Came a few hours prior to closing on a weekday night so it wasn't too busy and was able to sit (there is limited seating). Took a second to realize that that ordering was through kiosks and there are 3 kind of all spread out. Ended up getting the thai tea, jasmine milk tea, and level 3 spicy popcorn chicken. Highly recommend the popcorn chicken. Perfectly crispy with well cooked meat (not too dry). Recommend some amount of spice, there are multiple levels to suit your preferences. The teas were good, reasonably priced. I didn't have any issues with the service, unlike some of the other reviews. Overall, it was a great place for a late night snack. read more

There is a sense of nostalgia when I come to Green Bubble. I haven't been here in years. This used to be the spot I used to take my kids to for after school treats or have a catch up day with friends. What's kind of cool is the kiosk to order from. So the lines aren't so bad when you place your order. The wait is a bit long compared to other spots. But, that's probably because we practically order the whole menu of snacks. Popcorn chicken, calamari rings, and fries! Cant go wrong with the familiars! Seating has always been decent. But I don't recall seeing any board games to play as you wait for your drinks. I feel like the vibe has kind of changed since Covid. It's not loud and vibrant with laughter. It just the usually coffee shop chatter. read more

Great boba spot. Service is consistent and efficient. Delicious taro tea and matcha tea boba. My go-to place while I'm in the area.

Almost never have I left 3 star reviews for locally owned spot since the pandemic, but I think it's brought me to a non-redeeming point and it's time to let go of my good memories from this place. Here are changes I don't adore: - They have folks at the counter but one cannot order. - One can only order on Snackpass but the prices on the kiosks are higher than the prices posted on the menu. - The staff are mostly (if not all distracted) on the phone - there was a confused parent who clearly looked lost and he just needed help finding a drink. None of the 4 staff lifted a finger. - Staff don't know what happened to Fivestars points and they tell me to contact the owner via no email - no reply since last year. - This location never answers their phone. I even called Walnut Creek to ask if they can reach them for me to answer if they were open on a certain holiday. Fortunately, let's just say one doesn't have to look too far for tea - I am just very glad that the relatively newcomer shop Tea on Piedmont is down a few blocks. read more

Prob one of the more terrible boba spots I've been to. We stopped in for a Jasmine Boba Milk Tea since it had a thumbs up recommendation on the menu. It was bland and watery. I would not recommend coming here! Especially when there are so many good boba spots in the Bay. The service was accommodating when we asked for a replacement. They blamed the watery texture on the oatmilk, and although I let them know I can't have dairy, they kept insisting I get whole. They replaced mind with almond milk option and 100% sugar but still bland. I recommend going to spots like Raretea Or Yi Fang who can create classic milk teas and accommodate dietary needs with actual flavor. read more

If you're craving your quick and easy milk teas I would come here. popcorn chicken is nothing to write home about, but it satisfied my craving. It was cold and semi-crunchy only so I can only assume it was reheated. That's ok because I wasn't expecting anything phenomenal. Milk Tea tastes just like the milk tea of my younger days. no frills, just exactly what you ordered. read more

Mr Green Bubble - a bubble tea and Popcorn Chicken combo? yes please - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

This place is my go-to takeout because of its delicious, cheap, fried snacks and boba of course. I've been going here ever since I was in highschool! It's not disappointed me to this day. This food is the definition of comfort food and I can think of no chicken I'd rather bite into than the popcorn chicken here. I recommend trying out all the spicy levels so you can get a feel for what you like. This isn't a great place to actually eat at so I would stick to take-out. This is a staple for my week and I hope you try it out! read more

I love this place. The popcorn chicken is one of the best on the area and the spicy season is great. The menu used to have a passionfruit milk tea on it but that was removed a while back. The staff is nice enough to still make it for me but there is no way to order it on the order system in store or online. I'm writing this review hoping that the owner will add the passionfruit milk tea back onto the menu. read more

Cute boba shop, nice and modern interior 3 drinks ordered, total $21.72 Think boba drinks are getting pricey nowadays and costs close to snacks/small meal. #1 Purple Yam Latte - my favorite out of the three! The drink is layered with the purple yam in between the milk and it wasn't too sweet #2 Taro Milk Tea - default comes with boba, flavor is typical and what you would expect from taro flavoring #3 Uji Matcha Latte with Boba - matcha flavor wasn't strong, would recommend the other two over the matcha drink read more

First off, I am keen on the business name - its fun to tell your friends like, "Hey, want anything from Mr. Green Bubble?" or "I'm picking up an order from Mr. Green Bubs". J/k, but in all seriousness, I thought it was creative to have kiosks as the way customers place their orders (if in person) and would be texted once their order is ready to pick up. They have their menu posted for people to read from the outside - it a good size where you aren't squinting to read between the lines. The exterior and interior is small - a fair amount of customers visited during the time I was there and there but it never felt super crowded and everyone had their space waiting outside. While there are no sidewalk tables or chairs, there is 1 bench and a small wooden platform right around the corner for people to chill at. Or feel free to walk across the street and find a spot on the grass. Personally, I would want cafe sidewalk table and chairs, but if I had a blanket w/ me, I would do a little picnic across the street. Or, I would do a pick-up and enjoy it all at home. Their menu is easy to read and understand. There were a few options that stood out to me and obviously couldn't decide. That was until I had spotted someone who had their drink w/ them and it looked delish so I asked them and that was what I ordered. It was the Amber Milk Tea (I got mine w/ oak milk as I don't really like drinking milk). It tasted great - not overly sweet at all and I liked the bottle it came in w/ the coffee lid like cap. These would fit great in your car cup holders. Also tried their popcorn chicken - of course, its a must whenever I get a drink at similar establishments. Spice level runs from 1-5. Tried a 1 and my cousin ordered a 3 (which was actually a good level of spice). This place must be good or well-known as I saw quite a bit of people walk-up and people who drove up to pick-up. read more

I have only gotten bubble tea from here, so I can't speak about their food, but I've been pretty happy with the bubble teas I've gotten from here. Lately, I've only gotten the taro milk tea (which comes with boba), partly because it's one that I can ask for no sugar and can have non-dairy milk options (for 50 cents). (I think the Thai milk tea, for example, only comes with regular sugar or extra sugar, which I don't want. I'd want a less sugar option, but I guess whatever mix they have for the Thai milk tea is already pre-sweetened.) I like being able to order on the kiosks - usually makes it less likely for there to be a misunderstanding about what I want. You can also order through the Snackpass app if you have it. You can specify the sweetness level and ice level, too, which is nice. And they you get a text when your drink is ready. The last couple times, my drink was ready much earlier than it originally estimated, which was nice. There are only four "classic" milk teas that have the boba included, and these aren't priced too bad. The others don't include boba so you have to add it as an extra for 50 cents, and they're more expensive drinks to begin with, so those end up being rather pricey ... so I haven't gotten them. But the boba texture is almost always perfect and the drink flavors pretty good. So, it's not bad for when I'm in the area. But I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. read more
