Bean & Boba — Restaurant in Castroville

10/10 – New Favorite Spot for Boba & Vibes!

Bean & Boba is such a hidden gem! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with cozy vibes, fun decor, and a game area stocked with classics like Connect Four and card games. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay and hang out for a while.

We ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with tapioca boba and the Strawberry Matcha Latte—both were absolutely delicious! The brown sugar milk tea was rich and perfectly sweet, with soft, chewy boba that tasted freshly made. The strawberry matcha latte was the perfect balance of earthy and fruity, and it looked as good as it tasted.

The menu has so many creative options, from specialty drinks to coffee and pastries, and you can customize everything—milk type, sweetness, flavors, even add fun toppings or foams. They really thought of everything.

The staff was super friendly and helpful, and even the little touches like the playful tip screen (“don’t wanna feel bad” had us cracking up) made the whole experience feel warm and fun.

Prices are reasonable, the quality is top notch, and the space is perfect for meeting up with friends or getting work done. We’ll...

I'm so disappointed in the coffees I've gotten here lately. They're disgusting.

The girl who took my order did not seem happy, maybe she was having a bad day but she seemed depressed maybe? I hope she is okay. Anyways...Its gotta be the syrup.. Seriously it's so bad. I have to go with sugar free options, I have no choice anymore, I can't have sugar. The last 2 coffees I got I threw in the trash, they were not drinkable. My husband is coffee OBSESSED and he couldn't even drink it. Dear owner. Can I please recommend that you get the choczero brands... PLEASE. The taste is night and day from the other junk you have. You can get them on Amazon and they have 4 flavors, vanilla, caramel, hazelnut and peppermint. I've only tried the vanilla but I'm telling you it's sooo good. They use sugar alcohol instead of sucralose. There's no gross aftertaste. I use it in other things like plain...

They had vegan options for drinks and food. The order was prepared quickly.

The parking was a bit confusing. No one else was parked, but a rocky patch of earth seemed to be the parking lot, next to a drive-through speaker. After I arrived, other people parked near me.

Plenty of games for entertainment. Table top / board games, old school consoles, arcade games.

I am a bit iffy if a wheelchair could fit into the bathroom.

A few jewelry items and trinkets also for display/sale, if that interests you.

Seems like a great place to hang out.

I guess, the designer in me does wish the logo was better. It might have made the location easier to spot when...
