I really liked my tea here. I really appreciate this place and I'm glad that like after browsing on Yelp today, I was reminded of it so I'm definitely gonna come back here soon. Thanks for the reminder! read more

Yokee is one of my favorite boba shops in Oakland. My top 2 fav drinks are Grapefruit Green Tea and the Puff Cream Milk Tea. The Grapefruit Green Tea is very refreshing. Perfect for hot days. Lately, I've been getting the Puff Cream Milk Tea with boba and 50% sugar. It's creamy with an aromatic tea flavor and perfect sweetness. I love the chewiness of the boba. 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! read more

Tiny place with ordering kiosk, great service, and fresh fruit and milk teas made to order. There are a few chairs outside to wait while your order is made. One of the teas came with very hot boba at the bottom. Never had that happen before but the ice cooled it down after a while. read more

I was at the bank a few blocks away when I decided I needed a boba recharge after I was done. Located on Franklin St, this small little shop is easily missed and best spotted by The Lunch Box cafe right next door. The interior is really small, but you can place your order via the self-service kiosk or with the barista at the counter. Opted for my tried-and-true Passion Fruit Green Tea w/ boba and was not disappointed. The juice was fresh and nicely tinged with a few slices of lemon. And the boba amount was generous and of a nice, chewy consistency. The have a few chairs outside if you wish to dine there, but seating is really limited. Metered parking is available on Franklin St. read more

Yokee Milk Tea is very popular amongst locals. I went here and had to wait awhile for my order to be ready. The shop is takeout only. It is very small and has two ways to order - from the cashier or the kiosk machine, but more than likely you'll have to order from the kiosk since they need a lot of help in the back. I ordered the mango pomelo sago and it was really good - definitely worth the wait. I opted to get 50% sugar and it was still quite sweet, but I have a sweet tooth so it was perfect for me. read more

Yokee Milk Tea - Mango Pomelo Sago - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

I've been visiting this boba shop regularly to pick up drinks for my wife. It's one of her favorites, and over time one of mine as well. The quality keep us coming back. I'll be sure to capture better photos next time to do the presentation justice. Since I started coming here, the menu has undergone a few changes. Some longtime favorites have been retired ( I still miss the banana milk tea) but they've introduced new specials that continue to impress. On this visit, I tried the Cocoa Volcano Brown Sugar Boba, White Peach Oolong Tea Latte, and the Durian Coffee Latte. The Cocoa Volcano is one of our staples. The White Peach Oolong, topped with fresh cream was a standout, but not in the right cup for my preference. The Durian Coffee Latte was unique. There were a good amount of durian chunks that I ended up blending, and added a bit more coffee to suit my taste, and the result was great. Our usual picks also include the Matcha and Coffee Volcano, as well as the Lychee, Passion Fruit Tea, and Hazelnut Milk Tea. All consistently well-executed with fresh flavors and high-quality ingredients read more

This place has a lot of cool options and styles of boba! The mango pomelo sago was really good but got another fruit one which felt like just fruits in water not really tea. Pros: mango drink was really fresh and not too thick and it was delicious, Rose milk tea was solid as well Cons: fruit tea was ehh since it felt like fruit water so avoid this drink Ambiance: 3.5/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Taste: 4.5/5 read more

Yummy Yokee! Came here on a Thursday early afternoon during my lunch and was surprised to see a bit of a crowd waiting for their drinks! I even saw people get dropped off just to go here as the street parking situation isn't the best. The place itself is super small where there is only space inside to order at the kiosk and pickup your drink from the counter. I honestly think it works because the place is more of a grab and go situation to allow more orders to go through. They had a good amount of options ranging from specialty teas to sago drinks / blended items. I got the Osmanthus Oolong Tea with cheese foam and boba. The tea flavor was strong and the cheese foam was creamy with a hint of saltiness from the cheese, but it didn't overpower the tea flavor at all. May you say I was ~ obsessed ~ with my drink. The boba itself also had a nice sweet flavor and was a bit chewy. Still remained on the softer side as I drank it. I'd love to come back and try more of their drinks! I had such a pleasant experience. I can see why there's a lot of people going here to get drinks. read more

More like 3.5 -- I've just had a lot of boba drinks and am a bit particular since I often get the same kind. They got the 25% sweetness down perfectly and the drink was gooood but fairly standard. I will say the tapioca pearls were perfectly chewy. Was bummed that the drink I wanted, the Cocoa one, wasn't available. Cute little shop though w/ a couple of chargers available if needed along with some seating against both walls. They made the most of the small space and I'd come back again to try the other boba! read more

Great place to grab a boba after ice skating at the ice center, which is walking distance away. They're strictly a grab n go place-Not a lot of seating. With the fruit drinks, you get a choice of slush or smoothie-We chose lychee slush and strawberry slush, both fresh and delish. Also got the brown sugar volcano with boba, also excellent. It was prepared very quickly (wasn't too busy on Sat afternoon.) read more

This place had a lot of drink choices from lattes, fruit teas, cheese drinks, milk teas, smoothies, etc. We decided to try the matcha volcano and mango smoothie. The boba was very soft and chewy. However, our drinks didn't have a lot of flavor. If I were to come back, I'd get 100% sweetness instead of 75%. This is a small boba shop. You can order through the self-order kiosk. They have two tables and four chairs available outside of the shop but no seating inside. There is limited street parking. read more

Been here a few times, small place and usually does not have a line! You order at the kiosk and the order usually takes like 5-8 minutes. This time I got the cheese berry (25% sweet). The smoothie part by itself was not sweet but when you drank it with the cheese foam it was a really good combination of flavors! Creamy and fruity! read more

Before the pandemic, I used to come here once a week. This week I finally had a chance to come back, but unfortunately the quality isn't as good as it used to be. I ordered the fresh lemon jade green tea and it had almost no tea flavor at all. read more

We ordered online to save time since the location is on the smaller side. Street parking is available and it was fairly empty on the Saturday afternoon that we went. There are two small tables outside for seating. The shop is fairly small and can only fit a few people at a time inside. The boba itself was cooked well and I appreciated how much they put in the cup. The flavor of the tea was on the more mild side and more difficult to taste, but I appreciated the alternative milk options that they offered. read more

A small hole in the wall shop along the street. The inside can comfortably fit about 4 people at most, so it's a little awkward when they're busy. Ordered the black milk tea which was of decent quality and they filled half the cup with boba? I'm not mad at it lol. Nothing extremely stellar but I appreciate that the boba was warm and chewy at the cost of all the ice melting. read more

This to go spot for boba in downtown and convenient. I haven't tried other drinks here because they do the mango sago so well, but this is a pretty busy spot and people walk out with all kinds of drinks. They have a stamp card too! Ambiance - you can order on a large tablet or at the counter if someone is there. Usually someone is if a line starts growing read more

Hidden gem Mango Pomelo Sago comes with crystal boba- is the bomb 25% sweetness is perfect. I was surprised as it was as good as Hey Tea version of mango drink. Tried many times and the drink quality has been consistent. Durian Sago is creamy, fatty and rich durian flavor where they use real durian. Try it if you are into durian. Services are fast. read more

Yokee's my fave boba spot in Oaktown, and I love how tiny and economical their lil closet-size shop is. Great for grab n go, takeout, and walk in and out boba if you're in a pinch. Their online menu doesn't seem to have the full menu, so if you're willing to risk the wait (which usually every time I go the wait isn't even bad...only like ~5mins max) I'd suggest ordering in person. There's little aesthetic or shop appeal, but the boba drinks are high quality and they have great toppings like QQ drinkable mochi and always-QQ boba. Boba cup sizes are on the longer side, and you truly feel like your Bay Area priced boba is worth it. There's limited parking, but I've always managed to snag street parking right in front, otherwise most other people walk here. Service is fast and kind. Their boba making station is obscured in the back, so you can't see them do their magic. Their menu always intrigues me with their variety of drinks to soothe every boba drinker's wildest desires, from durian to cheese foam. Thanks Yokee, y'all the most solid Oakland boba spot in town. read more

very small hole in the space, with a simple menu and aesthetics. saw the reviews and was excited to try! I ordered the mango pomelo sago 75% sweetness (cost $8~ which I think is pretty standard). 75% sweetness felt more like 50% but it ended up still being great because I like things less sweet and the sweetness from the mango could really stand out. There were actually mango chunks and puree. the agar boba it comes with too is also very yummy not all the pearls are standardized circle shapes so sometimes ill get a weird lumpy shapes and it's fun to chew. It felt and tastes light compared to some other agar boba I've had where it seems syrupy. I give 3 stars because I was sadden to find no sago or pomelo in my drink. I don't know if they blended the pomelo in with the drink but I definitely expected sago balls at the bottom. Usually when I order a similar drink at other places it has pomelo pulp and sago, I think they could've just forgotten to add the sago but besides that it was pretty yummy. Just really disappointed since it was not like advertised. I def think I will give another chance the durian sago drink really caught my eye and I wanna try the boba pearls. read more

A small boba shop located in Oakland near Lake Merrit. You order at a kiosk and wait outside for your drink. I ordered the mochi soy milk tea and my partner ordered the thai tea. I love soy milk so this beverage was right up my alley! The tea wasn't too strong so it didn't over power the soy foam that was on top of the milk tea. The chewy mochi was delicious when dipped into the soy foam. I loved how nutty this drink was and would definitely get it again! read more

Quaint store in Chinatown. Order by self serve kiosk. Got chrysanthemum milk tea. Yummy and floral. Boba was good. Only thing is that boba took a while to come. I'd like to try other flavors if I come back, especially the mochi milk tea! It was unavailable when I went in July. read more

I first tried their oolong milk tea, which was pretty underwhelming because the tea taste wasn't too strong. But I tried their jasmine green milk tea another time and I really liked it!! The tea taste is fragrant and their boba is nice and soft. Gotta do street parking which kind of sucks, but I usually order ahead and pick it up so it's a pretty quick stop here. It's a pretty small shop and has a couple chairs outside to sit. The workers are also really accommodating if you want to adjust your drink!! Would come again if I'm ever in Oakland :) read more

Boring flavor taro milk tea. Price is good, star just for that. We asked for one Earl Grey flavor and one Taro; they made two of latter and upon receiving it and mentioning the error the cashier who placed order nicely just stood there apologized once and expected us to accept it/not waste the product rather than them making what we ordered. Not coming back. Should have tried to do the right thing fella! Taro milk tea was the least flavorful drink we ever had. No tea flavor at all bruh. read more

Been meaning to try Yokee and finally had a chance to do so recently! I came to grab a quick boba Sunday evening right before they close at 6. It's a small takeout storefront with two small tables for seating outdoors. They have a decent selection of milk teas, fruit teas, and cheese mousse teas, along with something called a volcano, which I think is brown sugar milk? You can order online by scanning their QR code or on the ordering machine. I ordered two drinks, both from their top 10: mango pomelo sago with 50% sugar ($7.25) and puff cream milk tea with 50% sugar ($5.35). Both drinks were really good! The mango pomelo sago was super mango-y and the mango chunks tasted very fresh. I'm not sure what puff cream is, but the milk tea had the perfect tea flavor and tasted quite creamy. This was some of the best boba I've had in a while! I will be back. read more

Perfect for a warm day after riding around the lake, the kiddos ordered the puff cream milk tea and I ordered a lemon green tea, all with boba. I liked how you could adjust the ice and sweetness of each drink. I found my drink (the lemon green tea) a bit underwhelming, and not as refreshing as I thought it would be. The boys enjoyed their puff cream milk tea, but it was a bit too sweet (100%) for them to finish it. We'll adjust the level of sweetness next time for sure. This is a small spot with no room for seating inside, and just a few outdoor spots available. You could self order on their kiosk which sped things up as well. Recommend checking them out if you are in the area. read more

I've been here twice and both times i have been completely satisfied! I really enjoy how I can actually taste the tea in the milk tea. I always order my boba with 75% sugar, other boba shops still make it too sweet, but the 75% here was actually nice! The mochi that came with our drinks were really soft and delicious to eat with the cream :)) 10/10 on the drinks ! read more

We were randomly in the area for some youth athletic tournament games with some spare time to kill. Of course, my first search was for a boba spot. And this place came up first with an astounding 4.5 star average rating and over 400 reviews. Upon driving up to the Yokee store front, it was a bit underwhelming as this is as much of a hole-in-a-wall boba place I've ever come to! Surely the reviews couldn't be wrong. So trusting my fellow Yelpers, we took the brave step to proceed and park a little down the street. I wouldn't recommend necessarily coming here at night, as there is not much around and I'm unsure of the safety in the area. When we arrived, there were two other customers standing inside the very very very(!!!) small wait area - probably more than 4 ft x 4 ft of occupiable space. To the left upon entering is a self ordering kiosk and to the right of the door is the unmanned cashier. Ordering at the kiosk is straightforward and not long after submitting my order I got my drink within probably 3 minutes. I ordered my usual Roasted Oolong Milk Tea and with Agar Boba. The taste was average, maybe a bit watered down. Not bad, and not memorable. Nonetheless, it was still a pleasant visit and met the mark for something unknown. read more

So good!!! We got a fruit tea and a mochi soy latte adjusted to the perfect sweetness level. The mochi latte was milky and the mochi was packaged in a pretty little wooden skewer served with the tea. A perfect combo. And they have the red floral classic pattern on some of their cups! I'm obsessed with their tasty offerings and the red floral cups!! We were chatting with some of the other customers while we were waiting. Really nice customers that also seemed super happy with their respective drinks. Small little shop that you do not want to miss!! You won't regret it! read more

When I bit into the mochi, I was STUNNED by how soft and delicious it was. Never had I had any mochi desert that resembled this softness. The mochi soy milk tea has a pleasant tea taste to it, you can tell it was brewed and not powder. The parking can be tough since it's in downtown. I recommend ordering online and driving by for a quick pick up. read more
