Solid choice for boba in the Bay! I got the Thai Tea, and it tasted overall good. The tapioca pearls were the stars here - soft, sweet, and just the right amount of chewy. I also felt they portioned the drink well for the number of tapioca pearls included. The tea itself tasted standard to me - nothing too special, but complemented the tapioca pearls well. Service was fast and friendly and the store felt modern and clean. In the Bay Area there are a ton of boba options, but I will be back to Boba Guys next time I am there.

This location, just like the rest, is consistently good. Their boba is made locally in Hayward, which I don't believe any other boba shops even do. Well Xing Fu Tang only very recently in the history of boba shops in the Bay Area lol But these have much more of that classic QQ, al dente texture. There's options for the classic boba drinker, the non dairy, and the coffee connoisseur as well. Not all of their drinks can be customized so be sure to ask, and have a backup option if they can't alter it to your preferences. When they first opened, there was often times a long line. I haven't been recently but I would imagine it can't be as horrible as it was before. Just check on Google before you make your way over.

My new order is strawberry matcha w boba and add extra matcha. I prefer the stronger matcha flavor to balance out the sweetness of the strawberry pure and the milk. Seems like you can only get it in an iced version. They have a rewards program on a browsing website and a place to do pickup orders, but I wish they eventually created an app for convenience. They should also create more rotating seasonal flavors to bring people in. The boba texture is always on point here and the flavors are on the stronger side (which I appreciative). Drinks here are always best enjoyed within the next couple of hours from getting it.

My favorite boba place :) Parking can be really bad on weekends. One time, they forgot to add boba to my drink, so I had to drive back. The worker didn't say anything and just took my drink, which wasn't great. The service can be poor when they're busy. This time, I went on a weekday evening, and it wasn't busy at all--the workers were nice, service was quick, and the drink was great. I just hope they become more consistent with their service.

Came in on a Friday afternoon and the place was not busy at all, which is a great thing. This location is great as it is right in the middle of Town and Country. Parking can be a bit of a pain on the weekend, but there are always people leaving and coming. This location is small but very clean and inviting. At this particular location you order from the kiosk. Their menu has all the same staples as their other locations with highlights on their seasonal offerings. We opted for their Thai Tea and Korean Banana Milk. Quick and easy. Paid via card and the wait for our order to be ready was within 2 minutes. Drinks were made to perfection. Not too sweet and blended just right. Will definitely be back to this spot as its in a perfect location and convenient when I need a boba fix

Boba time is my favorite time! We really enjoyed this place. This always seems to be around fancy places. I likie. Well, the first time that I had this Boba, I took it for granted, it was in San Francisco at the Union Square. Of course I have had Boba after this but now having it again makes me really appreciate the hard work that goes into this. You can really taste the strawberry purée, and Matcha, it's perfectly sweetened and the Boba texture that I like... not too hard and not too soft. Definitely will be, having more Boba guys whenever I see one around.

I stopped by to try one of their seasonal drinks: the mango matcha. I went in the evening on a weekday and it was not busy. My drink had more of a mango syrup flavor than the matcha and the boba was still warm when I got my drink which was a good sign. The store does not have any seating and is a smaller shop. The service was fairly quick after I ordered off of the kiosk. I will definitely come back to try some of their other specialty drinks.

TLDR: Nice place for a pleasant and refreshing Boba tea! Quick and pleasant service, nice ambiance. We stopped by Boba guys for a cold refreshing tea on a hot afternoon. They can customize the drinks and I loved the ube matcha combination! The other favorites are the strawberry matcha and the mango matcha. The banna is good too

I stop by this location fairly frequently and they're always busy since it's in high traffic area near a few schools. They have one self serve kiosk but if the line gets long, they'll take your order at the register. Service is always pleasant here and super fast (I think I got my drink in 30 seconds this time!). It's always fun seeing the new snacks and merch they have on the shelves when you're waiting to place your order. The shop itself is small but usually pretty clean in spite of how busy they are.

Had to come here because I was violently craving boba... and Boba Guys happened to be really close to where I was working, so I figured, WHY NOT?! I went 25 minutes before they closed their doors for the day... and honestly they were not disappointing at all. I had opted to try some of their special drinks because I've already tried some of their regular drinks many times at their other locations... and I wanted something a little bit more sesame-y. Thankfully, the Black Sesame Milk Tea with boba was the good go-to. The boba was really chewy, and I really liked how much black sesame they steeped... I was thoroughly impressed by how much they put honestly. I had opted for less sweet and less ice, and it still came out a little watery -- which was what I wasn't hoping but oh well, it happens sometimes. The storefront is a little bit small, but overall very modern looking. I'd definitely come here later in the evening and not in the afternoon because it tends to get more busy and out of the door on afternoons because of all the Paly/Stanford traffic.... So I'd look out for that.
