I knew this was the right choice!…read more Happened to be in Oakland for a work related event & gravitated to this establishment for lunch especially when I saw how buzzing it was with customers. There is limited seating inside and a few tables outside shared among the business in this area. Ordering was easy via the self ordering station and yes....there will be a wait but it is so worth it. Ordered a matcha which was phenomenal and one of the best matcha's I've had. However the star for me was the meatball & egg bahn mi sandwich. It was melt in your mouth delicious. All the flavors and textures in this sandwhich was well balanced and I would drive the 61 miles one way to have this sandwich again.

It was very informative and takes about 15 minutes which I really love and I really enjoy and learned a lot about tea. .

You can have it less sweet or no sweet and you can have it with less ice or more ice it's all up to your choice. . This is near the university and parking is a little challenge but there's also street parking and parking garage too. Hope this review helps and thanks for reading and have a yelp-tastic day.

I also like that they regularly have seasonal flavors in rotation--I've seen options like taro, pineapple, etc. The little cup holder is a cute touch, but I'm not entirely convinced the drinks justify the slightly higher price point, especially with so many other boba options in the immediate vicinity.

I am currently sipping on my jasmine tea with sea salt cream (0% sweetness) and it's just perfect. Strong jasmine flavor with a hint of sea salt. Mm. My son wanted a fruit smoothie and there were at least five fresh fruit options. We chose pineapple (again with 0% sweetness) and it was very refreshing. They added fresh chunks of pineapple on the bottom and every sip tasted like biting into a fresh pineapple. I bet this tastes even better in the summer during peak pineapple season. Prices are low compared to the surrounding shops. Parking is tough but if you find yourself near Renaissance Plaza, I highly recommend this shop!

There was no wait, and the staff were genuinely friendly from the moment I walked in. Sometimes tea shops can feel a little rushed when they're busy, but this place had a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I ordered both a matcha latte and a hojicha latte to compare. The hojicha ended up being the clear winner for me. It had that warm, roasted flavor that makes hojicha so comforting without tasting overly sweet or heavy. It's the kind of drink I'd come back specifically to order again. The matcha latte was perfectly drinkable, but it didn't stand out the same way. It wasn't bad by any means, just not the most memorable. I'd definitely return, especially when I'm in the mood for a good hojicha latte and a quiet break while exploring Piedmont Avenue.

Where else can you find a bubble tea drink for $5 or under nowadays? You can order on the kiosk and expect your order to be out quite quickly. I've tried the fried calamari before and thought it was decent. I'd like to come back and try the Taiwanese food. The drinks are straight forward- yummy and probably loaded with additives but nostalgic and comforting. I appreciate the various toppings and types of drinks.

Tasty enough, but nothing particularly memorable…read more Stopped by T4 and ordered the jasmine milk tea. The drink was decent overall. The jasmine flavor came through, and it was refreshing, but it didn't particularly stand out compared to other milk teas I've had. The sweetness and tea balance were fine, though I found it a bit average rather than memorable. The boba and drink quality were acceptable, and everything was prepared quickly. Service was efficient, and the ordering process was straightforward. The vibe is casual and comfortable, making it a convenient spot to grab a drink while out and about. It's a solid option if you're nearby and craving boba, but it wasn't a drink that left a lasting impression on me. Overall, an okay experience. Not my favorite jasmine milk tea, but it satisfied the craving.

I love the quality of their current cups! It's simple and cute. I see a lot of people ordering the mango flavored drinks. Those look delicious and refreshing. Will try those next time! 10/10!

The shop was relatively empty, and we were able to order from the many tablets that were available. The drinks were out within minutes. I ordered a milk tea with boba, 30% sweet, less ice. It came out as expected. Milk tea here is delicious, and the toppings are soft and chewy and still sweet. I was able to walk all the way to the Campanile with it, and it still tasted fine and not watered down. The tables in here are pretty small, so I wouldn't recommend staying around with your drinks, but as long as you're not in that camp, it's a solid place for boba in Berkeley at a price point that is not too bad given the other options.
