I used the self-service touchscreen to order, but a staff member checked in to make sure I didn't have any questions, which was very thoughtful. The place itself is spacious, clean, and bright. The menu is simple and easy to understand, and I like that you can build your own drink. I ordered a classic milk tea with coffee jelly, 25% sugar, and less ice. Unfortunately, the drink was about a 4/10 for me. It didn't have much tea flavor and tasted pretty watery. I was hoping for a stronger tea taste, and even at 25% sugar, it was still quite sweet. That said, the service really stood out. I asked them to double-check the sugar level because it tasted so sweet, and they kindly offered to add more tea to my drink. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. Overall, unless I'm really craving tea with boba or toppings, I'm not sure if I would come back, but the service is definitely a 10/10.

I parked in the first open driveway, the same block as Oddcha, immediately after passing the store. Oddcha is located inside the archway gate of French Quarter on the left. A walk up window, with staff perched high closed behind, is where you retrieve your order. You can order in person from a screen or on their mobile site for pick up - I did the app. The ready by time was minimal and my order was ready when I arrived. I ordered the Twilight Taro ($7) with oat milk ($.80) and double boba ($1.50). The drink is a non caffeinated combination of taro and purple yams with fresh milk. When received, it did not resemble the picture from the menu. The drink was creamy, slightly thick, taro/purple yam forward, very flavorful and perfect with the less sweet option. I prefer no ice, I was only allowed a less ice option. The ice level seemed regular, consuming 3/4 of the cup space. They honored the double boba as each sip had ample boba to enjoy. With no one at the walk up window when I arrived, the staff was not proactive checking in on me. I had to knock on the window to have someone eventually acknowledge me. Not great considering two employees watched as I walked up and stopped in front of the window looking back at them. Besides that, it was an easy, flavorful experience. Not sure if I'd return, mainly due to parking. I am glad I checked out Oddcha, I was not disappointed in the drink chosen.

There may be parking behind the shop, but the one way streets and amount of cars made me play it safe. You order at a kiosk that makes you stoop over. The menu is definitely more geared towards Marin demographics than your average boba shop, though they do have the staple milk teas and matchas. I ordered a Thai Twister with less sugar and ice, fully expecting it was a Thai tea slush (which is actually a unique drink). Why wouldn't it be when there's cheese cream along the cup edges like the oddcha Matcha, and that they offer a basic Thai tea for the exact same price? Thoroughly disappointed when it was just a Thai MT with some cream cheese spread. I asked an employee to make sure, and they confirmed it was just a thai tea with cheese lol. The thai tea is objectively good, but then again it's REALLY hard to mess up thai tea. Perhaps their other drinks are more of a hit, but it's pretty hard to justify coming here as a non-local who lives across the bridge.

Not much of the pickled veggies and the pickling was light. Not enough of the spread you'd usually get to really bind things together. The bread was light and crunchy, just not enough on size and too much in the middle for ingredients. The spring rolls were good. I liked that the rice wrapper didn't distentegrate on contact which is tough to find in this area. The peanut sauce was a little sweet for my tastes but worked well enough. For the price, not my cup of tea due to the amount though some of the flavors could work well with some tweaking.

Wasn't sure if got any honeydew flavor as i honestly didnt taste any. I can give 3 stars but know there are 5 stars just up the road a bit inSanta Rosa downtown. read more

I wanted to update my review because of the last interaction I had. About a week ago I went in and got 2 drinks which I ordered on the kiosk. I waited for my drinks and they came out. The only thing is that when the handed me my drink it had lychee and I had pressed boba on the kiosk not lychee. I went back and told them my order was wrong and the woman in the front was very confrontational and just answered " no you chose that" I told her that maybe it was a mistake on the kiosk but it was a mistake I do not like lychee and wanted boba instead. She kept repeating " you chose that" and I finally got upset and pushed the drink twords her and told her that if she was unwilling to fix it that I wanted a refund. She finally offered to remake it but not before again repeating " you chose that". She remade it and I left. I was speaking to my mom about the interaction and she told me that she watched me press the boba option on the kiosk and it charged me 80 cents for it. The woman before me ordered the same drink as me and we thought maybe the lady mixed it up and just handed me the wrong drink. Either way the interaction was upsetting because I was not being rude or confrontational and I felt embarrassed by this lady speaking to me that way, it was so uncomfortable and unnecessary.
