Again they have delicious milk tea and pearls (love the grass jelly), just as amazing as the San Leandro T4. The ambiance here is much better than the one in San Leandro, probably because it's more relaxing and I was there later in the evening. There wasn't anything that I didn't like about the drinks and the place... but the service did bug me a bit. The cashier was perfectly lovely. I think it was her first day there when we came in that night (this review is a few weeks...ish late). She was a sweetheart and looked like she was trying her hardest to learn everything. There was another girl making drinks frantically, but there were 2 more employees that were just standing behind the counter on their phones. The 2 other employees seem to be more seasoned there since the girl making drinks and the cashier was always asking them questions. They weren't to helpful and kind of snickered to themselves. I kind of felt like they were throwing the newer employees into the lion's den without anything. I know that I still got my drink pretty fast and it was delicious, but in front of customers, everyone should be helping each other. When working together, it's imperative that everyone pitches in. It's probably just me but seeing the 2 employees on their phones in front of the customers and ignored things left me with a distasteful feeling. Final Thoughts: I really hope that it was a one time things for those 2 employees. I felt really back for the cashier since it was her first day/night there. For sure I'll be back here for a drink though since it was mighty delicious and refreshing. read more

Great place to grab some quenching drinks on a warm day. Thanks to the staff who works so hard on making the drinks today. Only 2 of them and they did wonderful handling large value of customers. Maybe perhaps they should schedule another worker on fridays though to be in the back as the cook... just an o read more

T4 - Bob Milk - Tea Rooms Near Me - San Ramon, California

If I could give 0 stars, I would. My husband went in and ordered drink for me, the person who took his order talked really fast and did not explain well to my husband and assumed that he wanted the Earl Grey Milk tea. And when we went back in and asked him to change it for us now that we know what options we have, he said he would have to charge me for it. The tea wasn't great, service was terrible. Not accommodating and understanding at all especially when they got the order wrong and won't change it for us without charging us. Don't go there!!! read more

T4 has a special place in my heart. After filling out two stamp cards and trying put all but a few non-milk bubble tea, these guys serves consistently satisfyingly and fantastically pleasing drinks. The food items themselves are also yummy in the heavenly kind of way: the basil spicy chicken resembles the karrage we had in Takayama with the proper crunch, non-oily with flavorful seasoning and the slight punch from spiciness. The eggpuffs, every little puff is a soft bubble of melt-in-your-mouth texture, and peeling the bubbles off the sheet one at a time is an enjoyment in itself. read more

I think I have a serious drinking problem... I've come here everyday for the past week and regularly before that. I used to go to the T4 in Dublin (review: http://www.yelp.com/biz/t4-dublin?hrid=w_3q3VOx4C8ywc74yvo9nQ&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) ) but my wallet is greatly thankful for the gas saved because of the closer location. Despite several months of a deep, committed relationship, I have finally gotten round to writing a review. Nice, well lit (very bright) interior and comfy, cushy seats. The line is never too long and you can always enjoy the lovely K-pop music when you do wait. Fun story: I tried to get a job at T4 but may have been a little too aggressive...so the manager, being nice, told me they were only looking for college students but my some of my class mates work here - LOL! Anyone, love this place, basically live here on the weeknights (to study and get My Daily Boba) - sincerely hope the staff hasn't gotten sick of my face yet :3 SUGGESTIONS: - Red Bean Milkshake + Large Boba - Roasted Oolong MT 0% Sweetness, 0/30% Ice + Large Boba and/or Grass Jelly - Wintermelon Tea (not milk), 30% Sweetness, 0/30% Ice + Large Boba - Thai MT, 30% Sweetness, 0/30% Ice + Large Boba and/or Coconut Jelly PROS: Free wifi! Good drinks :), control over sugar/ice levels, friendly staff, stamp-card CONS: there's only 1 bathroom read more

The second T4 location I've tried and the milk tea is really good. Rose Milk Tea with no ice and 30% sweetness is my jam. Got my sister the red bean milk tea with pearls and she liked it a lot as well. I like that their milk tea is consistently good, does not taste artificial and usually no lines. Props! read more

The menu AND prices are slightly different from the Dublin. Such as I noticed this one has $3.95 smoothies v. $3.75. Hey, an addiction can add up. Also the wall decorations are not as fun. And when did I get so boring? I just prefer 50% sweet earl grey milk tea with grass jelly. 100% sweet Okinawa - too sweet. 50% sweet red bean milkshake, could bump it up to 80% but I prefer to err on less sweet. 50% sweet jasmine milk green tea with grass jelly, no ice two days later, actually a bit sweet but the texture held up! So yeah, I might buy an extra drink in advance. A bit out of my way, T4 is lucky ShareTea delayed their opening this weekend. Sometimes the wait feels long but the service is decent. read more

Definitely one of the best tea places in the suburbs of San Ramon! Bigger location than its Dublin counterpart and less busy from experience. Most of the employees are high school students which might contribute to the inconsistency of the drinks, but all in all its still pretty good. Another point of it being next to a high school is that you should expect large groups teenagers hanging right outside the store. Other than that 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants milk tea 4/5 ------------------------------------- Review: Employee named Priscilla honestly adds a whole star to the store. She's charming, funny and will brighten your day when she takes your order! Definitely coming back because of the excellent service! read more

Worst customer service of all boba joints ever. I can 100% resonate with other Yelpers that "the workers seem like they don't want to be there at all" Both the drink and boba were NOT up to par with other T4 locations. Furthermore, when I asked the cashier who has zero emotion on her for a straw, which is within reach for her but not for me since there were a huge group of customers (6~7) directly blocking my path to the straws. It's a relatively small place and we were all right in front of the cashier so there is no way she could not see what's going on. But instead of reaching over with her hands and pass me the straw, which does NOT require her to move her little feet at all, she just pointed and said "it's over there". Are you kidding me? You cannot just pass me one straw since it's right next to you? I had to resort to speaking up and said "I cannot get thru all these people can you just pass me one?" She then threw a straw at me like I'm her ex or something. Honestly if I wasn't with my daughter, I would cuss at her right in front of everyone and make an "accident" mess for her to clean up so she could at least get some exercise out of it which she desperately needs. For the franchise owner: stop making your daughter or relatives to work there, they hate their jobs and they don't wanna be there... they are messing up your business! read more

Nice place to get refreshments and snacks. Especially during their "Happy Hour", which starts at 7PM and goes till closing, at 10PM. Started 6/20, come and get it while it lasts. The deep fried squid has big prices of squid rings, covered in a thick crunchy crust, like on extra crispy fried chicken. So good, ordered round two, plus popcorn chicken. Chicken nugget sized chunks of chicken, with a crust that tastes like Korean fried chicken. Good thing the captions are turned on the TV. It's set to the Disney channel, to keep the kids attention. The over head music volume is set to almost "wake the dead" levels. Can't have a relaxed conversation in here. :( Smoothies, milk teas and other tasty cold refreshments. The only "bad" thing about this place... the brain freeze. ;-) read more

Very nice ! First time to a tea spot in San Ramon and found it to be quick & easy. Located very near the bike/walking path - Iron Horse Trail in the shopping center with the Walmart. Also plenty of parking if you're not walking or biking. For us, it was the payoff for walking 4K. Smoothie for me, green tea latte for her. We came back the next day and tried a few snacks - The fried squid, the fried popcorn chicken and the puffs w/red bean. Everything was tasty. The fried stuff was a bit salty for me. The red bean seemed almost non present except for the color. Of course, this was our first try for snacks in any tea spot and that might be the general standard. I like this location for its convenience to the path. There is no bike parking in front but there is a few spots at the trail point across - 70 paces approx. Tthere are a few chairs and 2 small tables in front. Service was polite, professional and prompt. I'll visit again when I'm in San Ramon. read more

Boba here is pretty decent! I usually get the black milk tea with boba and it has a good balance of tea, milk and sweetness. I like coming here when I'm back home. It's a great spot to chill and hang out with friends and there's a lot of tables. I also like ordering the egg puffs here! The batter is pretty good and has a good amount of sweetness! It's pretty crispy! But the texture could be better. Sometimes the egg puff feels a bit thick and I like it when the inside is half hallow. So I'd rate it a 3.75/5 which is still pretty good compared to a lot of places. SUGGESTIONS FOR T4: The only thing I get so annoyed is their flow of traffic. There's only 1 trash can in there and it's to the far right under the counter. The problem with this is that when a line forms to order, you have to go through the line of people to get to the trash or wait for someone to get the condiments. Also, when they put the drinks down, I noticed they put it on the right side of the counter too! So now there's even more traffic in that little corner!! It doesn't make sense and it's just super annoying. Please add another trash can by the bathroom or front door. And give people their drinks on the left side (facing the kitchen) of the cash register or towards the back where the staff would enter into their area. read more

Placed an order on Grubhub. We received confirmation our order would be ready by 11:45am. We arrived at 11:45am to pick up, but they were closed. Had to call Grubhub and explain the situation and after they checked on their end, they ended up issuing a refund. Went down the street to Sharetea. read more

Ordered Basil chicken and Chocolate egg waffles. Box of chicken was half full and didn't get a whole sleeve of waffles

Love the TEAS for me....with some boba of course! This is a cute place with good service. I like this place because all the teas I have tried so far is nothing but amazing and there's lots to choose from. The elegant rose and passion fruit tea are my favorite lately and i like the fact that you can control the sugar and ice on your drinks. Must try their appetizers. You cannot go wrong with their reasonable price and the more you try them, the more you want to come back and try other stuff in their menu. I'm glad you guys made it to Dublin read more

This T4 chain is absolutely underrated. The staffs here are friendly and cheery. Whenever I walk in they always greet me. They know what they are doing and I have never experienced a long line here nor a wait over 10 minutes. I love how I can recognize everyone and start a conversation now! Definitely my local place to be ever since moving to the East Bay. The cherry on top is that this place stays open late (10pm) and there happy hours are aaamazing! A regular size is $2.50 and I believe some snacks are also 20% off after 7pm. They also have some games for you to enjoy and hangout there while you're sipping on tea. Did I mention plenty of seatings indoors AND outdoors?! Lastly, milk tea quality has been great with the sweetness not being as consistent as other places... hence, 4-stars. Sometimes I'd have to order extra sweet OR less sweet otherwise the tea would be too watered down. read more

My family and I came here after gathering together to celebrate my moms birthday with my dad. Since moving up to northern California, I have been searching for a place to get good boba tea drinks. I still haven't found one. One of my nephews suggested this place so we all drove over after dinner. Good family times hanging out. T4 has an incentive card perk, where if you buy 5 drinks you get the 6th one for free. There were 8 of us present, so of course we cashed in on that deal. I wasn't too impressed with the menu items or lack thereof, really there wasn't a lot of options. Or maybe I am just used to having a plethora of tea flavors available. Not sure. Anyhow, I ended up ordering a Honey Green Tea with Boba, seems like a pretty simple good tasting drink, except that it didn't taste like it had much honey in it. This store is located in a shopping center, towards the back in a corner, not close to any of the entrances. Keep an eye out if you visit, It's easy to miss. read more

So I'm from the South Bay and we know our boba out here. So when I went to visit my mom she said this place just opened up...i said let's check it out! The drinks were good...I love that they offer the options for sweetness and ice. Always great and really great for my mom who is a diabetic. She loves them but do s worry about sugar content and being able to reduce it helps! I got the taro regular and it was on point. Maybe less ice so I can get more goodness! My mom for the strawberry smoothie @ 80% and she liked hers...sister got lychee tea...really sweet so prob go less sugar on that next go round. We also got the chicken basil...good but on the salty side...spicy too so just beware if you hate spicy. read more

As of right now I must give this place a 2. Ordered 2 drinks (Thai milk tea and earl grey milk tea, regular) and asked for boba, and of course no boba when our order was called. The line was super long and we waited a good amount of time. Would have had them add it but we didn't have time to wait. I think the confusion was with the person at the register. He could barely answer our questions and seemed frazzled over the long line. Star1- drink tasted good, better than most places, but disappointed I didn't have boba Star2- better than Quickly (place that was here beforehand) I will be back to give this place a second try. Hopefully the experience will be better. read more

Out of all the boba shops I have tried so far, this chain has some of my favorite tea. The toppings are okay, and the portions are normal, prices are usual, but the tea always has great flavor. Specifically speaking, I always come here for their rose tea. My recommendation is to get the elegant rose royal tea (no milk), a little less sweet if you really like a floral taste to your tea. Other perks, its clean, bright, and has free wifi! Passwords are printed on little papers, taped to the walls next to the tables. I have yet to try their snacks yet, but will definitely will make that effort the next time I visit T4. read more

The best pearl drinks in Dublin, hands down. My daughter and her friend wanted to go here on their hang out day. I love how it is super clean and fresh--inviting blue walls and an open atmosphere. The menu wall is no joke and it is filled with drinks, snacks, and add-ons. The tapioca is fresh and the real deal. There's nothing I hate more than chewy, stale boba. Amiright? The wait is close to none and their service is spot-on organized--they have the name and order on the drink as soon as you order. Cafe Tapioca used to be the go-to in our hood, but we now have a new favorite joint and it's called T4. read more

I mean it's alright. Definitely worth the drive to Boba Guys tho. I mean they literally run out of boba here sometimes. The best part is definitely the food. Overall the tea is meh, could use more tea flavor and less sugar or whatever. But it is close and convenient so it's better than nothing. read more

This place upholds the T4 reputation. I ordered my usual earl gray milk tea with grass jelly. The milk tea had the right sweetness, tea fragrance, and right proportion of grass jelly. It is hard to hard to find a milk tea cafe with the right fragrance and sweetness. I am particularly happy about the proportion of grass jelly to milk tea because many cafes skimp out on the toppings. I'm glad to say by the time I was at my last quarter of re drink, I still had grass jelly left! It is a convenient location for those living in San Ramon--I didn't have to drive over to Pleasanton or Dublin to get my fix of boba. I do hope they hire at least one more employee. The wait wasn't long, but the food and drinks had a certain affinity to the floor--while I was there for a mere thirty minutes, one customer dropped their fried chicken and two other stopped their drinks from the counter! The employees were busy making sure the customers got their drinks in a timely manner, so It took them about ten minutes to clean up the mess, after a few people have stepped on boba. read more

This place was great before the pandemic started. Great drinks, fun to hang out. Now it sucks. You can't hang out there anymore, no place to sit, neither inside nor outside. They make you wear a mask. And to add insult to injury, no restroom usage! That's unacceptable and makes for an automatic 1 star. I won't be coming back here anytime soon. read more

This is a great boba tea chain- I've been to a few of the smaller shops for boba and this one is better than those. The price for teas are very reasonable compared to other shops, they don't charge you extra for boba if it's already included in your drink. I only got a milk tea with coffee jelly and pearl boba and that was really satisfying. I would like to try the food next time! read more

Not sure if I'm biased because I grew up with a huge variety of tea places in SoCal, but not a bad tea shop in San Ramon if you ask me! The first time I came here I could barely understand the cashier, but she was very patient with me when she was trying to understand my order. The other times I've been there the cashiers seemed very timid and shy, but I can understand because this place was still fairly new. The basil popcorn chicken is definitely a must-try. Not completely covered in fried batter and the portion is great for the price! It comes in 3 levels of spicy! I usually order my popcorn chicken extra spicy but their powder is so strong that I have to settle for medium spicy. Be careful when ordering! Not a fan of the milk teas. The taro milk tea tasted very watered down. I also wasn't too big a fan of the lychee black tea. It left a weird after taste in my mouth and I'm not sure if it's because of the black tea or the lychee syrup. I would recommend trying the royal teas, they're very refreshing. The drinks are decent for the most part, but I was disappointed in the small variety of teas they have on the menu. Don't forget to ask for a stamp card! Recommendations: - Basil popcorn chicken - Honey peach royal tea Pros: - Free wifi - Accepts card - Spacious seating area Cons: - Food orders take a while - The taro milk tea is terrible read more

T4 - Tea Rooms Near Me - San Ramon, California

Hot Classic Rose Milk Tea = best boba drink ever. I don't know what it is, but lately I've been preferring hot boba drinks over iced boba drinks. T4's boba drinks are expertly made. It's tailored to however you prefer your amount of ice as well as the amount of sweetness. The flavors are great no matter what flavor you end up choosing. I prefer this location because it is a lot less crowded and offers faster service. The only downside is that it is a little smaller. Okinawa Milk Tea - Pretty good but has a slightly different taste that I can't quite put my finger on. read more

Good solid place for boba and snacks. Fair amount of seating inside, and the staff is pretty friendly. The downside is that they are a bit slower than I would like, especially going in on a day where there is not a whole lot of people there, it was still a bit slower than expected, not not necessarily too slow. The milk tea and the boba are both well done. The tea is fresh, and tastes great. The boba is well made, and very Q, and they also give you a good amount instead of skimping on the portions like other places. Got the popcorn chicken, and it is definitely one of the better ones. The batter they use packs a lot of flavor in it, and the chicken itself is just better quality meat, and not dry at all. I am not completely sure what spices they use, but it tastes very yummy. Stamp card system is just a bonus. Can't wait to come back to try the other snacks they have. read more

I mean if all else fails I go to T4. They are cheaper than the other boba joints out there and everythinf they sell is simple and on point.
