After miles of cycling, TOMO Tea House was the perfect place to cool down. This hidden gem in Alameda offers much more than just boba--they also serve authentic Vietnamese phin-drip coffee and specialty coffee creations. The Mango Sago was absolutely amazing (soooo good!), and the Taro Shake with jellies was delicious. Service was excellent, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I loved the relaxing ambiance, family-friendly atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, and the play area for kids. Plenty of parking too, conveniently located next to Lucky Supermarket. Highly recommend whether you're craving boba, dessert, or a great Vietnamese coffee after a long ride. Cheers! read more

They have Phin Vietnamese coffee here so I swung by. Note they can NOT adjust the sweetness level in their fruit teas and everything had syrup. Hard pass for me. Wish it was adjustable. Got their Vietnamese coffee and I asked for no sugar and it was not made to order. It's pre-made. Sugary...... But, the service here was great. read more

Convenient tea, boba, coffee, mochi donut shop located in the Marina Village Shopping Center. Plenty of mall parking for you to run-in, order, wait, and take-away to the convenience of your car. Better yet if you like Pink as you can sit there in the splendor of Pinkness slurping on you drink and munching on a mochi donut. If you have a kid, let them run around in their socks in the little play area while you relax. We went there on a Tuesday where there is a $1 mochi donut special with the purchase of a drink. Wife and I each had a drink and a mochi donut (Strawberry for me and Salted Caramel for the wife). As for drinks, I love strong Viet Coffees and went with the Salted Cream Coffee while the pretty one went with a Mango Matcha Latte. My coffee needed to be a lot stronger while the wife was happy with her tarty latte. Mochi donuts were good with a nice chew. Overall, I'll try a different drink next time while you can't beat a $1 dollar Tuesday mochi donut special. read more

Yet another boba chain has hit the bay...! This time, Tomo Tea-- not bad! Always good to have options :P My partner and I ordered online and picked up at the door, so this is purely for the drinks since we didn't sit in. WINTER MELON MILK TEA (light ice, brown sugar boba): Not too sweet! Kind of a bummer they can't adjust sweetness, but at least it's balanced well. The wintermelon flavor is deliciously strong. The boba though... Overcooked and mushy texture with very little flavor. My partner was fine with his usual mango sago. I think we need to try their coffees and specialty drinks next (looking at the Pandan Milk Tea and Phin Egg Coffee...) read more

Cute little tea shop! Lots of cute decor! There is also a playground for children. They have kiosks to order. I got an iced matcha latte, no sweet. The order came out very quickly. I liked the flavor of matcha; it was perfect! read more

TOMO Tea House - I visited tomoteahouse and got strawberry Mochi n Black Sesame Milk Tea. 10/10 very customizable drinks and very good quality food. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alameda, California

I'm not a matcha connoisseur, I just started getting into it recently. I like a matcha that's thick, creamy, and has a strong earthy taste and tomo tea house delivered. I got the strawberry Matcha and it was delicious. At first it wasn't that sweet, but the more you mix the drink together it becomes sweeter. If you are someone who likes a very sweet drink, you might want to ask them to make it extra sweet for you. They also have Vietnamese coffee and mochi donuts which I didn't get to try, but I'll be back to try it the ambience is also very kid friendly, they have a soft play area so it's great if you have a little ones. The place is also various aesthetically pleasing. read more

Did a mommy and daughter play date with my girlfriend at Tomo Tea House and we had the best time!! I ordered the Assam black milk tea at 50% sweetness with lite brown sugar boba. To be honest, I came in with low expectations (due to the reviews being hit or miss) but I was pleasantly surprised with my drink. I enjoyed the tea flavor and appreciated that the drink was not overly milky. Also, the boba had a good chewy consistency to it too. I got to try my friend's mochi donut and mochi corn dog and both were pretty good too. The play area, which is no extra charge, was the best for our 2 year old and 3 year old daughters. You just have to sign a waiver before allowing them to enter. Socks are required. They have a ball pit, climbing structures, slide, and bouncy animals. Our girls were able to independently play and have so much fun running around together. We hung out for around two hours! However, my daughter ended up getting sick and got mommy and daddy sick too :( I had a great experience, but we had to pay the price afterwards, so be mindful with your little ones! read more

Came by here with a couple of co-workers today as we waited for Mintleaf to open up at 11:30 am. There was plenty of seating available (both inside and out) and the lot has a ton of parking spots. There wasn't a line and I got my drink very quickly! They also had some good deals, including getting a mochi doughnut for just $1 with a purchase of a drink on Tuesdays (how lucky of me to end up here on a Tuesday!). The decor is beautiful! So many places to take pictures. I was looking for a hot drink, but it really is a boba spot, so I went with the classic jasmine milk tea with boba, very light ice, and 25% sugar. Also grabbed a strawberry funnel cake mochi doughnut for my co-workers. The mochi doughnut was very good and the milk tea was standard. Next time I'll pick something a little extra to figure out HOW good the drinks really are! I have high hopes :) read more

===TL;DR=== - Egg coffee - Roasted oolong milk tea - Dubai croffle ===TMI=== Hmmmm, two word: very pink. Although I'm not a fan of pink, this will be a pink persons heaven. Pink walls, chairs, floral photo walls and a swing chair?? Literally for all the props for a photoshoot, a very girly and pink one. Talk about convenience.. make your order on one of the 3 touch screens on the wall. Waited for some time for our order but it's ok because you get distracted by all the decors. In terms of my order, both the egg coffee and the milk tea were really sweet. I think it was one of the sweetest egg coffee I've had. It'll be best if the coffee taste was stronger. I think the drinks were average, just a cute instagram friendly place. Dessert wise, the Dubai croffle was good. I thought it would be warmer so it gets flakier. It was a bit hard to cut through since it wasn't warm enough. Also super sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, this place is for you. As I was enjoying my snack, I noticed many kids were in the indoor playground area. I think this would be a great place for playdates where the kids can have a blast and the parents can get their caffeine or sweets fix. Win win. P.S. some chairs are on the wobbly end so be careful when you sit on those pink chairs. read more

Tomo used to be Bober and the interior is basically the same since it was Bober. This place is an introverts dream, I placed my order through the kiosk and because it was a Tuesday I was able to add a mochi donut to my each one of my drink orders. I ordered a strawberries & cream smoothie with a strawberry donut, strawberry matcha latte with a churro donut, mango sago with a churro donut, mochi corn dog with half dog and half cheese, and the Dubai chocolate croffle. My total came out to be $45.74. And a note, if you select email receipt, you'll have to click your order number for it to show you the itemized list! For someone who has never had Dubai chocolate, I loved the croffle. I didn't want something super heavy and for $10 I thought it was worth it. The mango sago didn't have any flavor at all. I actually loved the mochi corn dog, its a different texture compared to a Korean hot dog. Mochi donuts were good, I always love that their not too sweet, very light. I wish I had a picture of all 3 drinks but I thought it was funny and strange that they came in all 3 different sizes and cups. read more

This shop is so family friendly, it's been one of my favorite places to catch up with my mama friends. The milk teas are always good, with the oolong and jasmine being my go-tos. The Vietnamese coffees are strong and I'd recommend those over their standard coffee drinks. Mochi donuts are fresh and they have a deal every Tuesday if you happen to be there during the week. The best part is the complimentary access to their soft play area. Make sure to sign the waiver and let your little ones have some play time while you enjoy your caffeine. It's a win-win! read more

This place is delicious the girls working here are super sweet and Kind always willing to help. Def recommend to all my friends

I ordered online and everything was ready within 10 minutes - very efficient. I got 3 drinks and the dubai chocolate strawberries. The drinks were decent - the coconut sugarcane mostly tasted like coconut water though. Was hoping for more of the sugarcane taste. The dubai chocolate seemed old though. The kanafeh was soggy... and I've made it at home before and left it on the counter overnight and it was still crispy. So this one must've been DAYS old, or they didn't toast it properly? On tuesdays you can get $1 mochidonuts, so I also picked up 2 of those. Overall it was an okay experience. read more

WHEN: Sun @2pm Decided to come here instead of any other cafe to work in because I decided to meet up with my sis and her lil ones and they have a play area for them. I've been here before when it was under new management, so I sort of had an idea on what to expect, and the kids loved it, and we enjoyed the drinks. Seems to be about the same, with maybe less wall decor and more dessert options. There's still mochi, but sadly no more of the Pandan Mung Bean drink I really loved. That's okay. It was quite busy but I came early enough to snag a table otherwise this place is packed with mom's and their kids going on play dates. It was already a rainy day so I can see how a place like this would be busy. You can order 2 ways: at their kiosk through a digital device near the entrance or at the counter with a breathing human staff member. Here's what my sister I ordered: HONEYDEW MILK TEA - $7.35 Fragrant floral notes of jasmine milk tea infused with light and refreshing honeydew melon. 50% sweetness is plenty and this was a nice sweet drink. PANDAN CLOUD - $6.80 Refreshing organic coconut water topped with a creamy housemade pandan cloud foam. Totally did not look like the menu photo but that's okay. I"m just concerned at how green it is haha especially compared to the honeydew milk tea. All in all I really like it here. Even if there's no seating inside, there are a few outside. The location allows there to be plenty of free parking, and there is WiFi. So I can't complain about the prices when my niblings have a play area for them at no additional price. read more

Super cute boba tea and snack shop in Alameda. There is a pretty ample kids' play area (as depicted in the photo), and the decorations are very pink-y and cute. They mostly sell boba and sweet snacks (think waffles, mochi donuts, etc.). I ordered a Honey Jasmine Tea with boba, and my friend ordered some mochi donuts and a Milk Tea. My drink order was half sweet and less ice. There was no milk in mine, and I could generally taste the tea. However, I would have preferred the honey flavor to be a little stronger and for the boba itself to have more flavor. My friend's tea was actually very good, and I would consider going back for Milk Tea based drinks. Out of the donuts we had, I enjoyed the churro donut the most - a light sprinkle of cinnamon sugar was the perfect way to highlight the fried dough. Overall, not a bad place to enjoy a casual afternoon/late morning snack! read more

Tomo Tea House replaced Bober Tea with similar infrastructure & expanded food menu. Offerings (drinks): classics, specialties, Phin coffee, Fresh fruit tea, coconut cloud foam, matcha, matcha, espresso. Food: croffles, mochi donuts/waffles. Bites: Tuesday's special: mochi donut (1) with purchase of drink. -mochi donut fresh & nice chewiness. Churro flavoring just "dust". Not exciting. Tried ordering on kiosk which didn't register mochi donut for $1. Protocol is to order Drink lst, then donut. Remedy problem at counter. Sipes: Mango Cloud (6.8) less ice. -no mango fruit used, haziness of mango hints at purée. Not cool for a premium drink. -coconut water didn't seem adequate for a premium drink. Purée + water = bland sweetness. * a China boba company makes fresh coconut juice in a cloud drink for $1 more. read more

I came back again, this time to try their boba. Roasted oolong milk tea, 25 sweetness, light ice: It's nutty and rich. It's still a little bit sweet but I really liked the savory roasted flavor of this drink. Mango green fruit tea: It very fruity, tropical, you can really taste the pulpy mango bits. I would recommend this one if you actually want it to taste more like the mango fruit, since I know a lot of places' mango fruit tea or milk tea doesn't taste as much like the fresh fruit itself. They also have a cute logo of three different shiba inus on it. Overall, I thought the drinks were quite good even if they are pricier than I like to pay for my boba, and would be down to go back. read more

First time visiting and I can't believe I haven't been here before. Great place for boba tea and mochi donuts. Good seating area and play area for the little kids. Instagram worthy areas too. I got the jasmine milk tea. Wonderful to taste the jasmine and 50% was good enough. I need to come back and try the others. The mochi donuts were good too. Right consistency of topping to donut. This place has hot to be a secret as I would imagine more people would come here if they knew about it. read more

This shop seems like a hidden gem and really deserves more attention. read more

I've only been here for K-Pop related events. It's a cute place with a kids' area. You order on a kiosk and wait to be called. They serve all manner of beverages and a variety of mochi donuts. They're always friendly and efficient. Even with a crowd, it doesn't take a long time for your drinks to come out. There's a lot of parking. Also places to catch a meal nearby in case you wanted more than donuts and drinks. read more

Saw this place on TikTok and really wanted to try the viral Dubai chocolate strawberries without dealing with crazy wait times or crowds. Tomo is a nice little tea shop with drinks and treats like mochi donuts and croffles. As far as the strawberries go, it was okay. Very heavy on the Nutella and like three xl strawberries cut in half. Which there were a few more considering the price. I believe this item is available for a limited time. read more

I'm a bit confused about the high ratings here to be honest. Our drinks were overly sweet, despite ordering less sweet, and we couldn't even taste the tea so the tea quality is unclear for this price. With so many tea options, I wouldn't return here. It's decorated very nicely so it's Instagram worthy but the seats are stained and appeared dirty - I honestly didn't know where I should sit. There is a kids play area for children 10 and under. They have 3 self order systems that were in working order and was efficient. Service was fine, there was no interaction except when she handed us our drink. Drinks were made fairly quickly as it was not busy. read more

This review is for my most recent visit. Everything went well as usual. Just wanted to give out a PSA that during my last visit, Dubai Chocolate Strawberries are no longer $15 but $18 and there was a size difference. You would expect the cup to be bigger if the price goes up but the cup was actually smaller? Not entirely sure but just something my bf and I noticed. Absolutely loved my strawberry matcha! Can never go wrong with it and it never fails me. My bf got the mango green tea and it's become his go-to. I tried his as well and the taste is pretty unique except the mango bits in the drink didn't taste ripe enough, but he didn't have any problem with it. Service and ambiance were still welcoming despite us coming near closing time so appreciated that bc there'll be places that judge you for being those type of customers and trust me, I do hate being one of those customers but sometimes it can't be helped yk. read more

Went here after the electrify expo on Saturday around 4pm. There was plenty of parking in the parking lot. When we went inside I was "wow" by how much pink decor there was. The play area looked like those cat play areas, which was cute. I wanted to come to this place mainly for their mochi donuts. I was disappointed that there was only like 4 flavors when in other pictures, there is a lot more flavors. From what it looked like there was only 2 people working and they seemed tired out. Their attitude wasn't outgoing, so this is why they got one less star. The drinks were delicious though. read more

Quality/Quantity - Drinks were good. Actually my daughter said this might be her new favorite tea place on the island! We also got 2 mochi donuts which I can skip in the future. Matcha Oreo and Lemon flavored. The lemon was the better one of the two. I barely could taste the matcha. In summary, come for the tea. Atmosphere - Small local business. Cool decor, a kids play area.Too bad my daughter did not take any pics. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 8pm. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Okay. They supported/followed store policy of no cash unless it is exact change. And did not let my daughter get away with 20 cents. This is good and bad. Price - $20.20. NO cash, cards only. Well except if you have exact change. My daughter was short twenty cents... Luckily the customer behind her gave her twenty cents. Thank you to the customer behind her. My daughter gave her the two hole punch card. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success (Tomo) since September of 2024 and your previous success (or not) with Bober since April of 2023. read more

It's been a while since I've been here, so we stop by today. Some tables were dirty and the place smelled weird. There were no other customers in there at the time. You place your order on a kiosk on the wall and pay. Be careful placing your order, the kiosk automatically adds a tip but you can adjust the amount, if you want. The workers do not greet you, not even a Hello. Lack of customer service but you kiosk want to add an automatic tip. I had a large Phin Salted Cream Coffee. It could have been a little bit sweeter. It was ok, but for $8.00 it needs improvement. Probably won't return, unless the drinks improve. read more

Ambience and decor is SUPER cute, I completely understand coming here just to enjoy the vibe and take cute photos. I got the Dubai chocolate strawberry and it was my first time trying that but I really liked it! A bit overpriced though, so I probably wouldn't get it again. I also got a boba milk tea which was decent, but the boba texture could be better. Overall a pretty good place, but not one that I'll be craving to go back to. read more

It's my first time visiting since the take over from TOMO Tea House (previously Bober Tea). The ambiance and inside is still very pink, pretty and shiny. It didn't seem as clean or busy on a Wed after work hours which was interesting. ***They still have the Tuesday deal where if you buy a drink then you get a mochi donut for $1!! Honeydew Jasmine Milk Tea 3.5/5 I love tea flavor! However, I ordered 50% sweetness and less ice thinking that honeydew powder is normally super sweet. I got a lot of ice and less drink sadly :( I've only ever had honeydew milk tea, not honeydew "jasmine" milk tea, if that even makes a difference. However, when I got the drink after 15min with only 2 smaller orders ahead of me, I barely got a hint of honeydew and it was mostly jasmine flavor. It wasn't I was expecting at all therefore the lower score. The customer service was just a single cashier also doing the drinks and cleaning up a kids vomit in the play area. Maybe I happen to come at the wrong time but he was still nice. He gave me a double stamp card for the long wait which was nice. read more

Otherwise, the interior was quite cute and pink & also had a little indoor playground for kids! I thought it was a super cute touch. read more

We visited Tomo Tea house(formerly named Bober and they still have a similar menu even with the new name change)on a Wednesday evening around 4:30PM. There was plenty of parking, and when we initially walked in, this place was empty. A few minutes later, a couple walked in, and a family with lots of kids. This place has adequate seating and a play area for kids 10 and under. It can get really loud with the kids playing in an enclosed store, but nonetheless really cute that this shop set up this area. We bought that the drinks and good were priced a bit higher than other places, and everything would cost extra. No ice would cost an extra $0.80, which we wanted just no ice and less drink instead, but they said they didn't do that there? Also, it seems a lot of their tea blends are already made with dairy milk, so if you're lactose intolerant, you can't switch out the milk like other boba shops. Toppings are an extra $0.85. So, it can add up quick. We specifically chose this place over Yifang(which we love) because of the seating. My friend and I have started doing craft nights, so meeting up to grab boba, bring some little crafts to do and yap has been fun. To the employees credit, they stayed open until said time and didn't seem bothered that we sat there crafting away. We ordered: [Brown sugar matcha milk tea with egg pudding. 25% sweetness, less ice] 3/5 super super sweet, at 25% sweetness. I'm not sure how people can drink anything above 25% sweetness at this store? Matcha was average and pudding was average. Wouldn't order again as 25% sweet already hurts my teeth! [Jasmine milk tea with boba. 25% sweetness, less ice] 3/5 My friend ordered this and said it was average. [Strawberry croffle] 3/5 Small! Tasty when eaten fresh, but gets soggy quickly. Overall, we thought this place was good, but their drinks and food aren't as they are listed. This was by far the sweetest 25% brown sugar matcha latter ever! read more

I stopped by Tomo tea house for a quick snack recently and it was a good experience. I ordered a Jasmine milk tea with crystal boba, a mango cloud with lychee jelly, and a churro flavored mochi waffle. I ordered the items online and they were ready for pick up when I arrived. The shop is nicely decorated, and has a good amount of seating. It's located in a shopping plaza, so parking was quite easy. I enjoyed the Jasmine milk tea, as it wasn't too sweet but it had a little too much ice. The churro mochi waffle was warm and tasty, and had a nice, soft texture. The prices for both items seemed alright, and they also sell different flavored mochi donuts and croffles. Overall, I'd likely stop by again if I'm craving something sweet. read more

Today is national donut day and I didn't know! It was a great surprise stumbling upon this deal! Buy a drink and get a donut free. It's Friday and I wanted a strong milk tea to hold me for today. I asked the worker, she was so nice and helpful! Honestly she made my entire visit such a pleasure. She was very sweet, accommodating and welcoming. She made my black milk tea stronger with extra tea! I know how difficult it is to customize a drink so I was really grateful she was able to do this for me! Look at how perfect that color milk tea is! Thank you again, I wish I got your name!!! But shoutout to the female worker who worked Friday around 10:30am! You're the best! Thanks for making my Friday extra special :) read more
