    Great boba cafe! Always have a good time here and have never had a bad experience The staff is super nice and very helpful if you're ever unsure of what to get. They know all the good drink or popular drink combinations When entering it's a small shop but still plenty of seating and nice for just a little chill spot by yourself or with friends. They have games you can play, like card games and jenga for you and your group They close pretty late at this location so those late night cravings are always met here! As for the boba and drinks! Honestly one of my favorite spots for boba will happily drive out of the way for this spot The combinations are endless and has never disappointed They use quality ingredients for those more fresh drinks and you can tell! For the food! So good Have gotten a couple things off their menu and let me tell you the star of the show is the sauce they offer The spicy ranch highly recommend They have a sweet chili also and that's also amazing But the spicy ranch Must have at least once The Cajun fries are a great shareable option and as well as the popcorn chicken Very good with the sauce or by itself All in all great staff, super helpful and nice Great food And great drinks! Always highly recommend

    Ambiance and a line forming back of low number if workers

    Told you I come back for the shrooms. Where else can you go if you are vegan and all your friends want popcorn chicken and boba. You can tell them to go to hell. Or you can forgive them like Jesus did for all of us and tell them to go to Teabo and try their fried mushrooms instead of chicken. Ambiance was great on a Friday night! Solid A

    Popcorn Chicken
    Austin K.

    Ambiance: a small cozy boba shop with a respectable amount of seating. Service: self service kiosk with paper directions on how to order drinks. Food: I got the popcorn chicken and a custom milk tea. The popcorn chicken was average. It was crunchy and flavorful but had neither surpassed what was expected. The milk tea was quite unique as they had many customizable options. I thought this concept was interesting and quite enjoyed my honey and taro combination.

    Milk tea: 4/5 The quality is pretty good. Service: 1/5 Went in and ordered with the kiosk right near the entrance. There was no one in the store so I assumed the staff inside the kitchen was making it. Waited a bit and started to become concerned. Went up to the staff counter and realized there was a tiny paper saying that the barista is gonna be away for 30 minutes. Why did they not put the paper on the ordering kiosk?!?!?! Since I have paid, I had to wait for the barista to come back. The staff inside the kitchen was still working and making the food orders for other customers. Why can't the kitchen staff make drinks???? I do not understand the management of this store. Avoid this place if you're in a rush. I do not live in the area so idk if that's their usual practice. I truly hope not but this was my experience. Ambiance: many tables inside. Plenty of parking outside.

    Chotaro Green Milk Tea with Boba
    Tiffany L.

    I've always liked Teabo for their drinks and food. I used to come here in college when it was the only boba place in town. I don't live in the area anymore, so I only stop by Teabo for a treat when I'm on my way home. I usually get the chotaro (chocolate and taro) green milk tea with boba and their popcorn chicken. Although their boba isn't the best, it satisfies my craving when I want something affordable. I'll always enjoy the chotaro green milk tea flavor though. I also like that they give a generous amount of popcorn chicken and that it isn't too spicy. The service was a little slow during my last visit, but it's not always like that. Sometimes I order online, and just five minutes later, I get a text saying both my drink and food are ready. Teabo Cafe has always had a chill vibe. The lighting in the cafe makes me want to relax and socialize rather than study.

    Cajun Fries
    Angelica H.

    I'm not giving this place a 5 stars because I think their drinks are the best. In fact I think their drinks are just alright. I'm giving this place a 5 star review because their portion sizes for the cajun fries are huge for the price! & I LOVE their spicy ranch sauce so much sometimes I crave this place just for the sauce.

    Green Milk Tea and Popcorn Chicken
    Catherine M.

    Kind of disappointed. Paid like $30 on DoorDash ($21 to Teabo) for a milk tea and some popcorn chicken with two sauces. Milk tea was good but they added the wrong topping, I got no star jelly (like just put lychee jelly on the menu if you don't have the star version). The popcorn chicken was good but dry to eat without any sauce. I paid 60 cents each for sweet chili and spicy ranch, but received none. Teabo put "DOUBLE CHECK THIS ITEM" on their receipt too, but they obviously don't follow their own policies. Overall the food and drinks taste good, you just don't get the items that you pay for. They really need to check orders better.

    Fried Mushrooms Chicken Katsu with Rice
    Tram B.

    The fried mushrooms are always a must have when I go here. They're absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and juicy. I also tried the chicken Katsu with rice for the first time. It's very crispy and crunchy. There's also a lot of spices covering it and it's nicely balanced by the rice. The drink was okay, as it's mostly syrup and doesn't taste as heavy as milk tea. The main star is the food. One of my favorite places in Davis. The person who got me my food was super nice so a plus for that too

    Boba

    Its the best Boba in Davis. Must try. Customizable and reasonably priced. Very friendly staff.

    Sarah T.

    Found this place after I ate at a nearby restaurant so I Stopped in for a quick drink. I ordered through the kiosk. It was quick and we got our order fairly quickly. I ordered the taro with boba and didn't adjust my sweetness which I usually do because most drinks are really sweet. I'm so glad I left it at 100% because it wasn't sweet at all. I also tried the Thai tea & it was much sweeter. Think it all depends on the drink

    Paige W.

    came back and we got a lychee matcha milk tea, oreo blizzard & popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken was really good and so was the milk tea the blizzard wasn't the best when we first got it there were large chunks of ice in it and I went back to ask if there is anyway they can blend it more due to the large chunks of ice and they didn't seem the happiest about me asking and after a few seconds of silence they just responded "ok". We received it back and there were still chunks of ice so we definitely are going to just stick with the milk teas.

    Milk Tea with taro and boba
    Charles T.

    Reasonably priced tasty milk tea. The boba is warm and pleasantly chewy. Service was relatively fast and the interior felt welcoming.

    ===== [Overview] ===== Teabo is the boba of Davis. It's the perfect place to study (during the day) or hang out (night). It serves every purpose as a boba cafe and is ingrained as the one of the best places in my memories here. Whenever I come here now, it feels like I'm coming home. Sad to see my polaroid with my friends is no longer on the wall but I'm happy to see new ones. ==================== ======= [Food] ======= This boba cafe does not have the generic drinks but is more for specialty. Their boba here is honey glazed, fresh, and warm when added to your drink. It's chewy. Recommendations: - [Teabo]: Their classic and it's delicious. - [Chotaro]: I feel like this is their most well-known because of how you mix two good things together. I drink it out of nostalgia but I think it tastes more like chocolate milk. - [Oreo Blizzard]: Maybe because my favorite ice cream flavor is cookies and cream but this is good on a hot day. ====================

I ordered a soy pudding and I don't believe there was a sweetness level adjustment option and it was very very sweet. The level of sweetness would be something that younger kids probably enjoy. We also tried a hazelnut Vietnamese coffee which had a very strong coffee flavor but was also very very sweet. We couldn't finish our drinks but if you're somebody with a major sweet tooth, you would enjoy it here.

I came by Teaspoon again a few days ago while in Davis for Picnic Day and I am happy to say that it's as good as it was before. The menu is smaller than other boba places, but each drink I've had here has been good. I love a blend of strong tea flavor and not overly sweetened milk tea, which is what they have to offer! My go-to drinks are their house milk tea or liquid gold, and when I want something fruity, I opt for their lychee black tea (aka lychee on lychee). I suggest getting the drinks half sweet if you don't want your drinks too bland but also not too sweet. The staff here has always been local college students who offer kind and speedy service. I'm never in here more than a few minutes unless I'm ordering a lot of drinks. It's small inside the store so if there's a lot of people in line, it's best to wait outside. It's not really a place to sit down and chat, but to take your drink to go which is fine since it's located downtown.

At 1:20 PM only part of the order came out, and the chicken strips didn't arrive until 1:30 PM. When we asked about the delay, we were told that DoorDash orders were being prioritized, which was frustrating considering we were already sitting there waiting with our kids. We ordered the spicy Korean cheese dog, sweet cheese dog, potato dog, chicken strips, calamari, and two watermelon smoothies. Unfortunately the food itself was also disappointing. The corn dogs had soft breading, way too much cheese, and barely any hot dog, and the cheese wasn't properly melted. My three boys all tried them and said they only liked the hot dog part. The chicken strips took forever and were so overly spiced we ended up throwing them away, and the calamari was rubbery and not good. The total came out to around $70, which felt extremely overpriced for the quality of food and the wait time. Overall it was disappointing to feel like online orders were prioritized over the customers actually dining in, especially when the food quality didn't live up to the price. Seating is very limited and unfortunately it was extremely windy outside where we had to wait.

Also this time they were very busy and it was cold, so I waited in my car. That was a big mistake because apparently the notice that your order is done doesn't come immediately when your order is actually ready. My chicken was ice cold and my drinks had been sitting there. So now I know, gotta pay attention to the drink status and now I also know there's only a few of their drinks I actually like. I don't like any of their drinks with slimy/gloopy additions. These are my drinks that I really love: - pomelo mango - tenghulu yogurt - matcha strawberry and matcha mango - sticky rice milk tea (no boba) - runner up is the coco mango cloud drink (ordered without mochi) - the pistachio chocolate drink is ok if you love everything Dubai chocolate - I hated the taro milk tea and anything with slimey additions Their food is only ok. I really liked their popcorn chicken the first time I had it and it was piping hot and they had the basil leaves. Since then I have never seen it come with the basil again and it has never been as good (too salty, moist/greasy and doesn't taste as good if they don't get it to you hot). I got the takoyaki and it's not good at all. The fish balls are ok and the fries ok and the sausages were my favorite (even though it's too expensive for two mini sausages). So this is a too long post just to say they basically this shop is just mediocre and I'll still come back but it's very expensive and there's hits and misses. The quality/consistency is all over the place depending on who is on duty behind the counter and how busy they are etc... next time I go I will try to take photos.

That being said, it's pretty cleaned and well maintained. Now for the food: we ordered the passion grapefruit jasmine tea with aloe, beef noodle soup, the cold noodles with peanut sauce, and the pan fried dumpling. The drink was standard, though a little sweet for my liking. Next time we'll adjust the sweetness to be a little bit lower. The aloe was strangely very mushy and not very enjoyable. The cold noodles with peanut sauce were a little disappointing. I found it to be overwhelmingly, salty, though the rest of it tasted fine. I enjoyed the beef noodle soup more, especially once you added the pickled mustard greens. The noodle texture was not my favorite, but soup was pretty good and the beef was well cooked. Overall, it really itched that scratch and I was satisfied. Both noodle dishes were hefty. It doesn't look like a lot of food because it comes out in plastic containers, but we were pretty satisfied by the amount of food that we got. The star of the show were definitely the pan fried buns. They were super crispy and well fried on the outside, and the inside was delicious. Lots of juice, well seasoned, perfectly cooked in my opinion. To be honest, we were just OK with the meal until we ate these pan fried buns! Will definitely return to try more buns and bowels and some other dishes that they have on the menu.
