Mr. Green Bubble | Oakland — Restaurant in Oakland

Probably the most misleading bubble tea experience I've ever had. I ordered the super fruit royal tea and the description was orange, passion, strawberry, along with other fruits. The photo also showed pieces of orange, passion fruit, strawberry, and kiwi. When I received my tea, it only had small cut of pieces of green apple and a slice of orange. I personally think green apple should never be in bubble tea and the flavor of the tea was more sour as a result. Also it was a bit over $6 base price which is one of the more expensive bubble tea prices I've seen and I could see it being justified if there were any of the advertised fruits in it, but there weren't. When I asked an employee about it, they seemed nice but they said that they must've ran out or something. To me, it seems like cutting costs and corners if they didn't have ANY of the fruits that were advertised in there. If you plan on "running out" of the good fruits, might want to change the description to random assortment of fruit to save others from getting a bunch of little pieces of sour granny smith in there. Good thing was the apple pieces floated to the top so I could fish them out with a fork and partially salvage my slightly sour "green apple tea". Also with their kiosks, it made it seem like a refund would be out of question since there was no one behind a payment system to help. My partner also had a regular milk tea with pearls and it had a slightly roasted taste and also wasn't anything I'd recommend to anyone. Very...

At first glance, you might believe it's a typical boba drink pastry shop. Small space, simple design, green letter hinting of a potential vegan-esque feel and approach.

I took a look at the menu. And it was quite surprising at the variety of snacks and drinks they offered . I was in the mood for popcorn chicken , and to my surprise they had some of the best popcorn chicken within walking distance of where I reside.

There a popcorn chicken was exceptional and they have a variety of options in terms of the way you want it cooked and things you might want to add or avoid. Chicken fully cooked.Do stress if you want your popcorn chicken extra crispy as that is the only thing I would have improved

I also ordered the lemonade and strawberry lemonade and the packaging they come in ( meaning the cup) is environmentally friendly and also makes it easy to share amongst each other in your group. The drink could use less sugar as it was a bit over sweet.

The online ordering process was quick and simple, and how's your order track live with updates and approximate time for you to pick up your order. Parking is limited to the main street. Indoor lounge holds approximately 3 to 4 tables. No matter your budget there's always a great value for you with great food waiting on the other end.

The place was clean will it was warm and inviting, the customer service was quick, friendly and helpful.

I overlooked this place all the time while walking down Piedmont. It just became one of my...

I have only gotten bubble tea from here, so I can't speak about their food, but I've been pretty happy with the bubble teas I've gotten from here. Lately, I've only gotten the taro milk tea (which comes with boba), partly because it's one that I can ask for no sugar and can have non-dairy milk options (for 50 cents). (I think the Thai milk tea, for example, only comes with regular sugar or extra sugar, which I don't want. I'd want a less sugar option, but I guess whatever mix they have for the Thai milk tea is already pre-sweetened.)

I like being able to order on the kiosks - usually makes it less likely for there to be a misunderstanding about what I want. You can also order through the Snackpass app if you have it. You can specify the sweetness level and ice level, too, which is nice. And they you get a text when your drink is ready. The last couple times, my drink was ready much earlier than it originally estimated, which was nice.

There are only four "classic" milk teas that have the boba included, and these aren't priced too bad. The others don't include boba so you have to add it as an extra for 50 cents, and they're more expensive drinks to begin with, so those end up being rather pricey ... so I haven't gotten them.

But the boba texture is almost always perfect and the drink flavors pretty good.

So, it's not bad for when I'm in the area. But I wouldn't go out of my way...
