CAFFE:iN-Union City

Great boba and croquettes. Strawberry+banana smoothie was perfect. Really pleasant and fine ice texture. The brown sugar boba was tasty and perfect texture. Also some of the pearls were cold enough to firm up perfectly, reminiscent of a frozen strawberry or other fruit. The croquette was cooked crispy and included katsu sauce, I think.

I haven’t been here for a while, but it’s one of the best boba shops in Union City. The place is quite small but aesthetic at the same time. Just like most boba shops, they have plentiful options: snacks, boba, and shaved ice. They also have ramen, which is quite unusual for a boba spot to have. They also have a super size and I saw what it looks like when people have it. Looks really tall though and I’m thinking of getting it in the future. Because they have many options to pick from, I recommend going here. Always don’t need to get boba if you’re not thirsty and just get food there.

The honey toast specials are amazing! The bread is pre-sliced inside so it’s not literally a huge hunk of toast with ice cream on top. I highly recommend customizing the fruit and ice creams. Getting a side of just the honey toast will make the honey toast specials even more enjoyable as you’ll have even more toast.

Got the Strawberry Fever Signature Honey Toast ($10.95) and 2 drinks, the Brown Sugar Pearl Latte and Matcha Ice Cream Milk Green Tea. The honey toast was AMAZING- made to perfection from the cube toast to the ice cream and the toppings. The presentation is impeccable as well. Since it is take out only, it was carefully placed in an open take out box. We ate it right away outside but if you are transporting it you would need to be super careful! There are 2 sizes offered for their drinks- we got the larger one (which in my opinion is very very large, see pictures for size). The Brown Sugar Pearl Latte was definitely better than the Matcha Ice Cream Milk Green Tea but the green tea drink was still yummy! Their boba is cooked and made to perfection, a nice size and chewiness. The drinks also come in very nice and sturdy cups which I think if you save and bring back you get a discount! The staff is super nice and I will definitely be coming back to try more desserts! Visited during COVID, they currently don't have any outdoor or indoor seating. They are limiting capacity for going inside to order and they have barriers up and hand sanitizer available.

Loving the indoor environment. The front desk is so nice to talk to me share the Caffe.in radio in FB to get the 20% discount. I ordered the “in fresh fruit “, it tases a little sour and it is perfect to drink after ate some BBQ!
