    This oldie but goodie relocated from Marina Grocery / 168 Market at Warm Springs Fremont. It was the first boba shop that served their milk tea using fresh tea leaves before it became popular. Tea Island has always been the affordable and steady boba shop for me. While other stores are charging at least $7 per beverage, Tea Island stays budget friendly. This location is nestled inside Ranch 99. Grab and go, not a place to hang out or get work done.

    I saw this newer spot on Yelp and decided to give it a try! I knew from other reviews it's located inside the 99 Ranch so that was helpful to know before-hand as it might have been a bit tricky to find otherwise. The stall itself is a bit barren and looks like they could still be moving in fully, but it was clean and works for the purpose so practicality-wise it was perfect. There was just one person working, I assume the owner, but it wasn't busy so it worked out fine and she was very nice, recommended drinks when I asked and was efficient making them. The drinks themselves were good, a nice clean and true flavor. The boba/tapioca pearls were not bad but not amazing. I will definitely come back though if I want simple, clean milk tea flavors!

    My favorite boba place that I drive to Pleasanton for! It used to be in the Marina/168 Market in Fremont, but reopened in Pleasanton. I've been going to Tea Island since I was a kid. Yue is the nicest and super fast at making all drinks. She brews actual tea leaves for the milk tea. which gives it an authentic tea flavor. My favorites are the Jasmine Milk Tea and Lychee Green Tea. Tea Island is a grab and go boba shop located in 99 Ranch. It's in the corner near the bakery. She takes Venmo/Cash. Highly recommend stopping here for a quick refresher! :)

    Again this is the best boba place ever. I've been coming here for over 14+ years. I've had boba from my homeland Taiwan, and I can say without a doubt this is better if not the best boba and tea I've ever had. Yue is the best! Keep in mind it's only her working so if she's on break just ring her or come back in a couple of minutes because obviously some people are on a break if they aren't there. She is amazing, best service ever. I recommend getting jasmine milk tea or peach oolong milk tea or any of the fruit teas, 50-75% sugar is actually not that sweet (I get 25-30% usually all other boba places) and no where can compare to the authentic tea she makes and she makes the boba everyday!

    They moved to pleasonton ranch 99!!! Still the same great quality and taste, and same owner as well. I'm so glad she opened back up again, tea island was the go to boba place in Fremont that was affordable and delicious

    Fresh tea menu

    Uses FRESH tea leaves per tea order and does not have that stringent taste. Love this place because it's fresh and I can taste the tea. This is the place I compare all other tea places to and I try milk tea in every city/country I visit (if possible). Fresh tea drinks for $5.25 (without boba). Yes, this is the place that used to be in Fremont. This is inside the Ranch99 bldg. I used to go to this place when it was in Fremont, the service is excellent, she's fast and has never messed up my drinks no matter how busy it is.

    Lychee green tea with lychee jelly and Boba
    C T.

    The drinks here are great and pretty cheap for such an large drink. the staff made the drinks super fast, too!

    This boba shop caught our attention because its so convenient in 99 Ranch AND the prices are great! We did some shopping, had dinner then came back for our boba fix. The service was quick, the drinks were really good and you can't beat the prices. We had a variety from a frapucccino icy drink, warm tea with boba, taro and lychee. They were all good sized and so yummy. We will definitely be back to this gem!

    Wow, what a hidden gem, within the 99 Ranch Market. My oolong tea was fantastic. Prices are the lowest you will find anywhere in the Bay

    Not the greatest experience. No one present in the front, rang the bell too. Hopefully it gets better, may try again another time.

This has happened 3-4 time in the last 6 months. Random zero operation days that they'll just be closed during advertised hours of operation. Staff used to be much friendlier; most recently we get the inattentive worker with AirPods in that barely acknowledge us. Our latest visit we came around lunchtime with plans to enjoy a refreshing smoothie at Delucci Park. The smoothie was very watered down and almost tasteless... I walked back from the park to see if they would remake it and the door was locked with nobody inside. Something has definitely changed about this place in the last year or so, and unfortunately, not for the better.

The interior was bright, modern, and comfortable. Soft ethnic music played in the background. There were several smaller tables as well as a central seating area with cozy armchairs and a low table next to a welcoming wall filled with games and books to borrow at leisure. Definitely recommended!

Our recent visits have been to return for the avocado smoothie, which is not a common drink offering at Boba places, and popcorn chicken. The avocado smoothie is okay and not the best, however, it will do given none of the nearby places offer this drink. But the real winner is their popcorn chicken which comes with a decently sized-portion and the batter is perfect in amount and flavor. We don't particularly like our food spicy, so we always request for them to not add additional pepper sprinkled on top. That makes it perfect for us. However, if you like your food more spicy, definitely let them know. The only way to do this is if you order directly through a cashier or you somehow get their attention before they finish your order. Otherwise, ordering through the kiosk does not allow you to input any special requests. Service is not particularly fast especially when they get bombarded by the students from the middle schools and high school in the afternoon. I have yet to try their milk tea, but I haven't come to want to take the chance given one of my favorites is not that far of a walk from Honi-Bear. In any case, the location is great in the heart of downtown to treat ourselves to some drinks and snacks!
