    Sea salt coffee & rose milk tea
    Mabel H.

    We stopped by after AYCE lunch next door at Happy Lamb Hot Pot because there's always room for boba. My sister used to frequent this place when she lived nearby, and the owner still remembered her after a year of not visiting! I also overheard the owner telling a customer "I remember you usually get fresh milk with that, do you want that today?" We love thoughtful gestures :) Overwhelmed by the selection! They have 2 iPads to order from, and I felt like I kept scrolling. I wish we were hungry for snacks because they had my favorites like popcorn chicken ($10.15) and hurricane tots ($8.75). Sea salt coffee ($7.50): I got this half sweet and it was perfect! Not too salty (my usual gripe for this drink elsewhere) and not overpowered by the milk. I see why it made the top 8! A large size was an extra $1. Rose milk tea ($7.35): My sister's go-to! I normally don't like the perfumey taste of rose milk tea, but it didn't taste like that here. It was light and not too sweet. I saw you can opt for less caffeine which is cool. I will be back to try the roasted oolong milk tea ($7.15) and the food! The owner is so sweet and she was working solo when we came in (making drinks and manning the kitchen).

    My first time at this place and found out that this store has been around 10 years. I can't believe I have never been there. I got the popcorn chicken as a snack and it was so juicy and crunchy! There were some descent size of the chicken pieces too. I enjoyed it. The two drinks I got were almond milk boba and oolong milk tea boba, both were delicious. I am craving for the popcorn chicken from this place! I will come back to get popcorn chicken again and try another drink. Service was great and the atmosphere of this store is cute.

    Definite positive experience after this milk tea establishment. Quality milk, tea, as well as quality, popcorn, chicken. The only downside over the years is the change of ownership. I understand it's very competitive at this area for milk tea shops. But, I keep coming back, no matter who owns the shop Quality of service: A Quality of food: A+ Price: $- $$

    Hate to give low ratings, but this was one of the worst drinks I've had in awhile. Weird flavor profile and even weirder aftertaste. I'm guessing they mainly use powder and syrup here. The biggest issue was how much they charged. Base price was $7.15 which included one topping. Tax and hidden service fee brought it to a whopping $8.10. There are a lot of better options out there at this price.

    There is only Happy Hour on Monday and Wednesday: have not tried it yet. Service was friendly. Ambiance casual and there are seats. Drinks sometimes can be too sweet, but ordering 50% sweetness can help.

    $8 for syrup/powder based liquid. There's even a 3% surcharge for ordering on the kiosk. I got a 0% sweetness drink and it still tasted like artificial diabetes. Insane how highly rated this is, but I guess this area just doesn't have many options and the people here haven't tried the better brands in Bay Area to be enlightened. I couldn't even finish my drink.

    It's one of the last remaining cheaper boba tea places in the bay area with boba included in the pricing of most drinks, so I can see why people enjoy this place. Still, it's essentially a Quickly, but their tea strength is good. There are a few seats inside and at the time, just a single person running both the cash register and making the drinks. They have some cute trinkets, merchandise, and plushies for purchase at the counter, and free simple board games to play. We got two fruit teas - pineapple and mango strawberry - they were both quite sweet, and even at 30% my drink was too sweet. I thought the fruit flavors tasted more like am ambiguous sweet fruit flavor more than mango or strawberry, and the pineapple tasted more like pineapple candy. Their boba was good; it was soft and bouncy, and almost had a jelly texture. They have a snack menu that consists of mainly fried items with reasonable prices. I wouldn't mind dropping by for the occasional treat, but I'd definitely need to order at basically zero sweetness next time, if I got another fruit tea (I assume there was already a lot of sweetness from the syrups).

    First time, nice place, friendly staff, well made drinks with rich and full of flavor. Clean and welcoming spot. Definitely recommend.

    Honey Rice Milk Tea
    Thinh L.

    The shop is a bit narrow and congested coming in from the front. You will order from a tablet and see the staff rush frantically to create everyone's order. I decided to order the Honey Rice milk tea with grass jelly topping. I came in thinking I would come in and out with my drink. This expectation was subverted as I waited and saw customers walk in and grab their drink before me over and over. It turns out they were brewing a fresh batch of tea. The irony for a tea shop to run out of tea was interesting to say the least. The drink came out well and tasted refreshing.

    winter melon tea
    Jessica H.

    The drinks were refreshing. Nice owner. They have a mix of drinks and snacks, I'll have to try some snacks next time! The winter melon flavor in the tea was not strong enough imo, but otherwise nice and cooling to sip on. The okinawa milk tea was pretty tasty. Good chewy boba.

    Another new boba place we had to try on the way home. The place was warm and inviting, there was lots of seating. We all had our drinks, they were yummy. I had the avocado smoothie with sea salt cream. I like all the customization options, you can change the sweetness level, ice level, the type of milk used, and toppings. Service was pretty fast, we got our drinks pretty quickly.

    Cute little boba shop! Owner/manager is super nice and friendly, and offers good recommendations when asked. Parking is plentiful right in front. We got a taro milk tea with lychee boba, and a lychee frosty (50% sweetness). Both were yummy delicious and the cups were so cute too! Love it, will come back!

    Do you have tapioca pearls?

    Yes, they have tapioca pearls as a topping choice.

    We sell gift certificates in $5, $8, $10, and $15. They are redeemable for a one time use. To purchase certificates, it is cash only. Hope this helps!

    Does this mean my boba stamp card from itea is no longer valid?

    Nope, if you still have a stamp card from this location, they'll transfer it to a new card!

So they could definitely can do a better job of decorating the interior to really look like a cafe instead of a vacant room. We tried their matcha roasted rice latte and Hojicha latte, both sweetened. The hojicha latte was AMAZING! 10/10, no notes. It reminded us of the hojicha we had in Japan. The matcha roasted rice was unfortunately way, way too sweet to tolerate and little matcha flavor and green color. I would be open to ordering this again with extra matcha and little to no sweetener. This would be a 5 star review if the ambiance was nicer and matcha wasn't so weak and sweet. I would definitely be interested in coming back and giving Kamurocho's matcha another try and exploring their other drinks.

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!

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.

Banana pudding matcha - not too sweet, fresh bananas on the bottom, creamy top and earthy matcha! Kid friendly spot with a fuse ball machine, games and even a Tesla motorbike!

Either way, there are zero ingredient descriptions of the banh mi in the menu displays here so no warning about the peanuts if the addition is intentional. The banh mi itself was just okay. Decent baguette crunch. I got the grilled pork version and the pork was tasty though a little tough. There was something overly gritty in some parts of the sandwich and it might have been pate not being spread smoothly and evenly. Little to no pickle taste in the daikon and carrots. Also got a matcha bubble waffle. Bitter burnt on the edges. Green passionfruit tea was pretty standard and it hit the spot on a warm day. Eh, overall wouldn't say it's a place you'd go out of your way for.
