    Like the setup and the staff. My disappointment is in the drinks. There's a whole row of containers in the back.. looks like they're for the fruit syrup? I was hoping for more natural flavors and texture because the strawberry peach felt really weird to drink. The milk tea option was fine though. Ordered no sugar, no ice, and with egg pudding. I'd prefer a bit stronger flavor but it was still noticable.

    This place just opened and decided to give it a chance despite its very few reviews. i got a creme brulee brown sugar milk boba and my bf got the mango smoothie with sweet cream. i didn't like my drink all too much, but my bfs was much tastier. the creme brûlée came in a large, normal sized cup and the creme brûlée wasn't seared at the top like those drinks normally do? it was mixed throughout the drink which i thought was a little odd. the inside is cute and i love seeing new businesses pop up. they even laid out free little treats for customers. i would be back to try something else on the menu!

    This new boba shop just opened and will probably be one of my favorites in the area! I stopped by on the opening weekend and was blown away by the quality of the drinks and the friendly of the staff. They have a menu with a huge selection I tried one of the milk tea and you can definitely taste the quality of the tea. You can adjust the sugar level, and unlike some boba places this place gets the levels just right and they have 5 levels of sweetness to choose from. The store is super cute and clean. The line moves very quick and the staff is super enthusiastic. If you are in this area you should definitely come check this place out!

    Great milk tea flavor and selection, the servings are big and they have a self order kiosk they offer a free toy once you order. I pulled a cool demon slayer card. The atmosphere inside is chill and ill be back soon. The drinks where done fast and taste is good for the

    Jasmine Milk Tea

    Brand new boba place in Berkeley that just opened in December 2024. I was worried the quality of the drinks would be poor since it's new, but surprisingly my expectations were exceeded and I loved my drinks! The Jasmine milk tea leans more on the tea side but it's still milky at 70% sweetness. I went back the next day to try a Coconut Milk Tea and I think the coconut is my new favorite! (I have to custom order it and the employees told me to just order a mango coconut milk tea but write down that I want coconut in the notes). The owners and employees are all very nice and helpful. I wish Presotea nothing but success :)

    The taro milk tea tasted only like milk. The lychee strawberry tea tasted like medicine. Maybe I went on an off day, I might try it again.

    Staff is friendly. The Boba teas regular amount of sugar is just right. I usually have to ask for half sugar at other places.

The decor is clean, modern, and warm, making it a great place to study or just hang out with friends. I especially liked the kiosk ordering system--quick, efficient, and no pressure while deciding. The drink packaging is honestly next level. It feels premium and thoughtful, not just another basic cup. You can tell they care about presentation just as much as taste. And the drinks themselves? Smooth, refreshing, and high quality. Service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. The space was spotless, including the bathroom, which is always a big plus for me. Overall, this place nails atmosphere, quality, and convenience. I'll definitely be coming back regularly. Highly recommend if you want a chill, aesthetic tea spot.

After a few visits, the drink I'm hooked on is the Taro Milk tea + taro paste + taro balls. It's just so loaded with taro and it tastes like taro rather than taro "flavoring". Drink after drink, it's easy to see what this tea shop has won so many awards. Plus, their cup carrier is super cute, eco and creative! I almost wish this place wasn't so good because they're pricy and addicting!

    Tried a few more drinks at Yi Fang:…read more Multi-floral honey mountain tea, 50 sweet no ice, large: The drink was done in about half the time that was estimated (Snackpass estimated 15 minutes, but it was done in 7). It was barely sweet, 50% is the lowest sweetness you can set for this drink. I was disappointed by this one as I felt the tea and floral flavors could've been stronger, it really just tasted of honey. Large chocoberry bliss, warm, 50 sweet (which was the recommended sweetness): It's a non caffeinated drink and can only be hot or warm. It tastes of dark chocolate with strawberry. It reminded me of hot chocolate but with a strawberry milk flavor, I liked it and would recommend trying it when it's in season if you enjoy sweets and chocolate in particular. Cheese creamer black tea, no ice, 0% sweetness, large cold: The tea is truly bitter when at 0% sweetness, which is what I intended. A generous thick amount of creamer on top. It doesn't mix easily with the tea. Note that on Snackpass, they add another $0.25 onto the price of your drink for "city cup fee" - referring to City of Berkeley's fee charged for plastic drink cups. I have found they're usually pretty fast at making the drinks and they may be done earlier than what Snackpass estimates. Sometimes you may need to get the attention of one of the workers as they can be occupied working and aren't always at the counter looking at you.

I had a lot of questions and they sweetly answered them before I did my order. You order online or on the screens in the store. Pretty self explanatory and easy.

It was so hard to choose what to order because everything looked so delicious and refreshing. My drink was ready in less than 10 minutes. I definitely want to come back and try some different drinks!

It tasted super fresh and was made with care and attention. The mango mochi were soft pillowy pieces of thin crepe skin filled with cream with a little bit of mango in the center. It was barely sweet, which is the Chinese way and I absolutely love that. I think its super rare to find a quality drink shop where the drink and snacks quality are so high when it comes to mango. I think a lot of boba places in the Bay Area use still raw, unripe mango pieces and also dilute their mango drinks with tons of ice and still charge premium prices for them for little pieces of mango, but here they do not skimp on quality or quantity, while maintaining affordable prices. The quality is so high and the prices are so affordable for what they provide. So absolutely delicious, I will be back here as often as I can.

Its a 40 degree night in Berkeley, but you have had enough Costco seltzers the cold isn't bothering you. You hit your friends stiizzy pod, but truly you are high on life.

You rip apart the tender friend chicken pieces, dipping them into the complementary sauce and your truly, TRULY, reach flow state. You pick up your regular thai tea with boba and rainbow jelly and take a sip to cool the flavorful spice of the chicken and you are transported, I'm not sure where, but somewhere nice. That is the kind of experience Boba Ninja provides EVERYTIME. When I visited Cal on Cal Day my friend brought me here and my life changed. The service at Boba Ninja is IMMACULATE.

I ordered the taro milk tea with soy milk + boba and my bf ordered the tiger milk tea. I'm sad to report the tiger milk tea had no stripes. It was just a regular brown sugar milk tea and did not deliver on the "tiger" aesthetics. The boba was fresh but it's the kind you can buy from the supermarket to make at home yourself. Nothing crave-worthy. For what it's worth, it was well-made. For the area, there are certainly other places you can go for boba. At least the non-dairy milk swap only had a $0.50 adder, a bit less expensive compared to other places.
