The person behind the counter was a bit less than enthusiastic, which normally doesn't even factor into my reviews because I've totally been there. However, they also didn't wash their hands between handling our cash and making our drinks, and they grabbed the inside of the cups with bare hands and were also scooping ice. I ended up asking for a refund for a different reason because I didn't want to make a scene, and my girlfriend threw her drink out. There also seemed to be milk tea sitting out unrefrigerated in a non-insulated keg. All in all, I would be open to coming back in the future if changes are made, but the laziness of AI-generating menu images and the lack of hygiene means that I won't be back for a while.

Tapilab is my favorite boba spot in Oakland. I've tried the brown sugar milk tea both times and…read moreit's delicious. The boba is handmade and flavorful (the best part of the drink for me) and there are so many drink choices. The owners are the kindest. They really put care into the presentation and even brought our drinks to our table. The inside of the shop is nicely remodeled with comfortable seating. Besides drinks, they have homemade pastries and food to order. I look forward to trying these soon. Stop by today to support this new business! You won't regret it

Very cool spot for boba, sweet drinks, and other kinds of treats. I got to try their paw shaped egg…read morecakes with Nutella inside, as well as an egg tart. Both were quite good! They have many different flavors you could go with, including typical ones like chocolate, peanut butter, or custard, to more interesting flavors like cheese and red bean. The Nutella one was stuffed quite well and the portion was solid for the price. The dough itself was a tiny bit spongey, and the outside was crispy. These are nice to share! The egg tart was pretty solid as well. Fairly sweet, but not excessively so. Okay portion for the price. Also not bad! All in all, a nice spot for sweet treats. I'd come back again!

Our friends mentioned that Wushiland Boba was a highly loved boba shop in Pittsburgh that we should…read morecheck out while we were in town. We stopped by a couple Saturdays ago after lunch. The interior is pretty spacious and clean, and we were able to order easily through a kiosk. ROASTED OOLONG MILK TEA + half boba / half grass jelly I got this drink with 30% sugar and still thought it was way too sweet. The boba is sweetened already, so I probably would have enjoyed it at 0% better. I can taste the tea flavor, but still pretty heavy on the milk. I had to toss my drink after less than half of it because it was too sweet. My friends didn't really like their drinks. One of them thought her milk tea was powdery and unpleasant. Overall, pretty disappointing boba.

Then, I looked around and loved all the personal decor touches throughout, from the greenery to the cute drawings. Lastly, I wanted a boba tea but was also craving coffee, so their milk tea coffee and Vietnamese coffee teas hit the spot. As I ordered, I had a few questions about what to order and the employee was so helpful, and didn't make me feel ignorant of boba tea knowledge. I really appreciate that. I highly recommend going here for your boba or coffee fix!

Fantastea is a restaurant that sells beverages in dozens of flavors: teas (e.g., strawberry, peach…read moreblack, and red guava), sparkling (e.g., grape, kumquat, and pineapple), slush (e.g., peach-lychee and mango-pineapple), fruit yogurt (e.g., strawberry and mango), and milk tea (e.g., brown-sugar matcha, taro, Thai, and Vietnamese coffee). Also available are several toppings (e.g., honey, mango, and crystal). I bought only one drink--dragonfruit tea with peach boba. The employee served me quickly and courteously. The tea cost several dollars, it was a good size, and I really liked its flavors.

Yotea has an extensive menu but somehow gets everything right! Three of us stopped in yesterday…read morearound 3:30pm and basically had the place to ourselves. The inside is fairly large with a good amount of tables. We ordered a few apps to share and everything came out quickly. The smashed cucumber salad is HUGE and delicious with a lot of good flavor. The wings were crispy and the chicken satay was really flavorful. We loved the flaky egg tarts and the scallion pancakes. The chicken fried rice had a touch of sweetness to it which was unexpected but we liked it!

The last time I was home I swung through Oakland and decided to check out Yotea & Yoka as I'd never…read morehad their food before. Wow, I was impressed. There are so many great restaurants in Oakland to choose from and they're definitely on that list. Everything from the boba to the rice and all in between is delicious. Well, at least what I had was.

What I had: Cake foam boba milk---OMBoba...delish (I need to try the Snow mountain boba next) They have so many drink options that it's overwhelming. Beef satay was tender and well-seasoned Fried dumplings and cucumber salad---yum Chicken Chow Fun---I think they mean Chicken Chow YES Last note: As you can imagine, they can get extremely busy as with most restaurants in Oakland. It's worth the wait.

I've had the poke on occasion, and the options and quality are good, but I'd only put them a little above Giant Eagle's or Dang poke's.

Another "places you might like" suggestion that totally hit the mark…read more The interior of the space is extremely bright and looks and feels clean. There is a large menu on the wall, but they also have print menus as well. You can select from re-designed bowls or create your own. They also have a variety of bubble tea options. Basically the flavor combinations are endless! I ended up ordering strawberry milk tea with blueberry boba for my kids and they said that it was one of the best bobas that they've had. I ordered the spicy tuna poke bowl. They asked if I wanted it as is or if I needed any customizations which I thought was a nice touch. I kept it as is and really loved it. It was a perfect combination of flavors and every bite was enjoyable. As much as I'd love to try the other flavors or even create my own, why mess with perfection. I'll definitely order it again.

The store was super newly remodeled, clean, and spacious with a few tables to enjoy your boba, study, or socialize.

The workers were super friendly and gave opportunities to let them know if your drink does not taste satisfying and they will remake it for you. My friend and I ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea w/ boba and Mango slush w/ white pearls. The boba was definitely made well, satisfying my boba cravings. Will definitely be coming here often!
