Sign in to reviewThis is the best boba place in Berkeley. The lady working here is so nice and she even gave my friend a free drink for his birthday! If you ever pull up here make sure to get the grape sparkling or any of the Thai tea. Their sushi roll is also amazing. I swear you won’t be disappointed :) P.S. this was the drink that my friend requested
Great portion for the price. Drinks are also really tasty and they don’t fill the cup up with ice like other boba stores. Definitely going back multiple times!
Boba: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Overall: Pretty standard fare The extended review... Boba: Passionfruit - 3/5 - Standard fare in terms of taste. Nothing particularly unique or different about it. Service: 3/5 - Standard service. Ambiance: 3/5 - It's a small place with a few seats. For the most part seems more like a grab and go place.
The mochi milk is quite a different experience! The boba was great and there aren’t a lot of more normal milk tea options It was good overall, but just not quite the 5 stars! The inside is tiny and no seating, so be ready to take it to go
I heard that this was one of the best Milk Teas in the Berkeley area! And it's great. They have this subtle mochi topping that's unique. Definitely recommendes for a treat once in a while!
