2.5 stars! This is a boba shop on the UC Berkeley campus, so parking is a pain. The ordering system is through SnackPass and the service is very quick. The staff are friendly and give free water too if you ask! There's lots of seating inside for students to mingle and study too. I ordered a Grapefruit Green Tea, since I wanted something refreshing to drink while walking around campus. To my surprise, it was very honeyed and tasted like syrup - even though I ordered 50% sweet. It wasn't fresh grapefruit unfortunately. The green tea taste was a bit watered down too. Service Take out Meal type Other Price per person $1–10
Boba was great, I got this slushee thing? I did it when there was a buy one get one free deal. However, it would normally be ~$8 bucks which is simply insane. They also have inaccurate times on Snackpass, and instead of simply jacking up their times they let the notification go off that my order was ready while I waited inside. I almost missed a class T-T
Beautiful store, could be cleaner. Tea was fast, ice and sweetness options are to be expected. Staff was overworked and over appreciated. Tea was watered down. I now fully support automation.

I'm so glad this location let me use my own boba cup and straw. I'm always trying to reduce my waste and plastic consumption.
Fast service. Clean. And delicious. Probably the best boba place I’ve ever been too. Their cups are good quality and the drinks and amazing. Couldn’t be happier with what I got.

This place is pretty solid. I have definitely had better boba, but since this place has good deals on snackpass pretty often, I end up getting boba here pretty frequently. My go to is the mango green tea with lychee jelly, which is really good if you like fruit teas. The wait time can be pretty long if its crowded, but you can usually order ahead.
