    I came with my sisters and friends to try out urban pearl. Great experience and service. Love what I got. Would come back for more!

    Ube coconut taro milk tea and banana matcha

    I'll be honest, I really didn't care for this tea/boba spot when they first opened. Mainly because the customer service wasn't really there and I felt like they were so popular when they first opened to where they couldn't keep up with their drinks and were still learning as a new business (nothing wrong with that, but that was my first impression). I remember asking "what drink has been popular lately" just to see if I'd be willing to try it if it was something new to me and the person at the register just looks at me blankly and says "I think all the drinks here are great" lol I felt so awkward because that wasn't my question Anyways, the first few times visiting, my drinks were just okay, it's a very far drive for me so I didn't feel like it was worth the distance. But I'm honestly glad that I was patient with this business because as of lately I noticed a shift and I think they found their groove which has made me enjoy coming in whenever I'm nearby! The recent staff is so friendly and accommodating, knowledgeable on recommendations as I tend to bring friends who haven't tried this place yet which is a plus! Service is fast and drinks come out consistent in taste which I appreciate so much. Their matcha is honestly the best in town as of right now for me. Again, CONSISTENT. Color and taste are there and I appreciate that they don't overpower the other flavors they add to where you can't taste the matcha anymore. Truly for the matcha lovers, not the trend hoppers! Their banana matcha is the perfect balance and if they release more flavors, I'm sure they will provide a perfect ratio with those as well. Their ube coconut taro milk tea is my weakness, it is so so good along with the coconut matcha cloud, my top two favorites right now! I highly recommend trying this place, those who I've told to try have all loved it so I feel confident that you'll like this place too as a matcha or boba lover!

    I had to come on here and update my review. The matcha may be good but I don't agree how things were handled in this situation. I brought a group of friends . We all ordered the coconut cloud matcha. One of the girls wanted to try the banana matcha and strawberry matcha in addition to what we ordered. A few guests walked in and placed their order after my friends. A couple that came in after us also ordered the banana and strawberry matcha. They called out my friend's name, but the couple, who was sitting closer to the pick up counter, grabbed the drinks before she was able to reach the counter. They were not paying attention to the name that was called. The guy opened a straw and put it in the banana matcha cup. After several minutes of it sitting in front of their faces, the couple realized they picked up an order that was not theirs and returned it. My friend ordered a strawberry matcha with modifications. The staff stated they would remake the orders. The couple proceeded to "return" the wrong orders back to the counter. Once my friend's order was ready and picked up, I noticed that there was already a straw in the banana matcha. I asked my friend if she placed the straw in herself. She did not. Basically, they "re-served" the same banana matcha that the guy had in front of his face with the same straw that he had placed in there himself. Absolutely disgusting. We asked them to re-make it. They gave us some pushback because "he did not drink it". But that is his straw that he touched with his bare hands. And he's already breathed on it too. It may not sound like a big deal, but you never know what illnesses people may have. Food that has been brought out and touched by another customer and returned should never be served to someone else. I am appalled.

    Oh my goodness..... The Urban Pearl!! I've been here several times since they opened in early 2025 and believe it's one of the best boba businesses in the greater Fresno area. Their drinks, service, consistency, and overall atmosphere make the shop an excellent place. Their drinks are quite delicious. I have tried several of them and each one is unique with great tea flavor. They are not overbearingly sweet or creamy and also look great. The presentation is on point and I love the cups as well. The menu is organized into categories, including Milk Tea, Matcha, Smoothies, and Fruit Teas. I have tried a few drinks from each category and enjoyed them all. It is safe to say you will find something enjoyable dependent on your preference. The service has always been quick. Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable and quick to answer any of your questions. The place itself has a decent amount of seating and I have seen it busy with people studying and/or doing work. I wish they would start a point/punch card promotion as it will entice people to come back even more.

    Coconut water with matcha foam

    Valerie, the owner of The Urban Pearl is such a gem! I went in today to do some work, and she kindly said hi and let me try out their coconut water with matcha foam. It was super refreshing and like nothing I've tried before! I didn't expect myself to like it since I always feel strange about matcha without a milk base, but I'd definitely say you have to give it a try if you're a matcha lover. I also love that they've added to their space--they have a bookshelf with cute decor and extra seating.

    Ok like do you see how rich that matcha color is ???!!!! Ok well that's how green it should be! (If you like a stronger matcha taste) This strawberry matcha was highly comparable to the ones i had in Japan! Now that says a lot!!! 100% recommend this place for the flavor but also the service was quick and the barista was so kind. Cute trinkets throughout the whole shop, I appreciate the whimsy. The menu has lots of options including coffee drinks. There is lots of seating inside and its kind of dim in there makes for the perfect spot to study or unwind! Lastly they have long hours perfect for sweet drink cravings anytime! I'll be back to try their coffee drinks and will definitely be back for more matcha goodness!

    Yummy!!! I love this place! It's always pretty busy, well at least the times I went, so just know that. But despite, the service is still quick and never falters! So far, I've loved most drinks I've gotten. My favorite so far is definitely the Ube Taro Milk Tea! Coffee-wise I did like the hazel house. 100% recommend!

    Banana matcha
    Lena S.

    Um, yes please. Spectacular, give me 14 of them. I'm not a matcha girly but my goodness that banana matcha was DELICIOUS. I probably gulped that down in probably 2 mins. And I got this strawberry drink. I don't remember what it was called but very aesthetically pleasing but also very good. Not overly sweet. The only downside is that it's quite far from me. But if I'm ever in the area again I'd definitely stop in.

    I've had a lot of drinks from here and every one of them is fresh. I like how the staff can help with decisions and know the drinks very well. I appreciate their work and kindness. Some of the other drinks I've had are the mango tea, uji matcha, brown sugar matcha, matcha cloud, cookies n creme smoothie, taro smoothie, and Thai tea

    Matcha cloud
    Tammy M.

    Loved my matcha cloud drink! The matcha cold foam on top was rich, strong and pretty earthy but I enjoyed it! I tried making it myself at home and totally failed so I'll be coming back lol! Service was quick and friendly The establishment seems to stay packed and busy, at least when I went in. Maybe a couple of bar stools would help for those that are waiting for their drink? Either way, it didn't bother me much.. I'll be back!

    Mango Cloud
    Sophia C.

    The Urban Pearl has become my favorite boba shop in Fresno! The interior is modern and perfect for waiting for your drinks or studying inside for a while. It does get dim inside at night so I like to study there during the day. The staff are SO kind and attentive. I ordered a less sweet drink and received a regular sweet level by mistake. Although I didn't even notice, the kind staff member gave me a re-made less sweet one when she caught the original error. This speaks to their levels of care and standard of service! I really enjoyed the Mango Cloud smoothie, it was refreshing and had great mango flavor. I'm glad I got less sweet as I can see how regular would too sweet for me. Although I have not ordered it yet, their matcha seems to be very popular! Looking forward to my next visit!

    A Must-Visit for Boba Lovers!…read more If you're in the area and looking for a great place to cool down with a delicious boba drink and a snack while catching up with friends or family, I highly recommend Quickly. Located in a nice part of town, the welcoming atmosphere is noticeable as soon as you walk through the door. Their menu offers something for everyone, but my personal favorite was the UBELICIOUS. Made with ube milk tea and topped with cheese foam, it has a mild, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor with subtle vanilla-like undertones. Every sip was an experience, absolutely delicious! I was also excited to see several Filipino-inspired drinks on the menu, including the Pandantastic, Taho, and Halo-Halo, all of which I'm looking forward to trying on my next visit. In addition to those unique offerings, they have plenty of signature favorites such as Brown Sugar Boba, Caramel Coffee Milk Tea, Tiger Milk Tea, House Milk Tea, Oreo Milk Tea, J-M Milk Tea, and Panda Milk Tea. Their snack selection is just as impressive. We enjoyed options like Popcorn Chicken, Mini Taiyaki, Octopus Karaage, Gyoza, Mozzarella Sticks, Onion Rings, Lobster Balls, and Chicken Lumpia. The seating area is spacious and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your drinks and snacks. They even have fun claw machines for kids and adults too! The sofa seating adds to the cozy atmosphere, making it an excellent spot to unwind. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient throughout our visit. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend stopping by. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

Pastries and crepes also look to die for, and I will be indulging in more when i come back again. Service is quick, friendly, and accomodating. Baristas seem happy to go out of their way to help patrons. I was here for a while getting some work done and it was nice to hear them helping people out. Ambiance is also very nice. Gives almost a loft-like feeling, and I can find myself coming in more often if i had lived closer. Came in for the first time and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, and as someone with less experience drinking coffee, I am looking forward to the next time I will be in the area.

Their Nutella crepes are delicious, but get a bit sweet after a while. Next of all, the MEH: the boba is only alright. I would appreciate a bigger menu and more toppings, like lychee jelly or mango jelly. Service is alright. It usually takes a while, but not an hour long while. Honestly, I don't really have anything negative to report, just meh, average parts. Will I be back? Probably. But only for hang outs though (for the vibes), but this won't be the first boba place on my list to go with friends or by myself.

    Mini bowls? Whoever came up with this idea deserves a raise…read more Seriously... where else can you get something freshly made and served by an actual human for under $3 these days? I came in thinking I'd order one. Next thing I knew I was collecting mini bowls like Pokémon cards because I wanted to try everything. The bowls were packed with flavor and made it ridiculously easy to sample a bunch of different dishes without committing to one giant meal. Then there was the Hmong sausage with sticky rice. Let me tell you... they do NOT mess around with the sticky rice. I think they accidentally gave me enough to feed a small village. It lasted me two days and at least four meals. My refrigerator and I both appreciated the generosity. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the place has a fun, modern vibe that makes you want to hang out for a while. The only thing I'd change is the drink. It was definitely on the sweeter side, But it still tasted good, and I'd probably just ask for less sweetness next time. Great food, great service, great value, and a concept that's actually different from the usual boba shop. I'll definitely be back... mostly because there are still mini bowls I haven't tried.
