oddcha San Rafael, CA — Restaurant in San Rafael

(4.5) great boba spot! I’ve gone a few times and will definitely continue to come back when I’m in the area. Heads up it’s tiny and kind of hidden- look for the “French quarter” gate (pictured) and sign on the sidewalk. There’s no indoor seating but a little outdoor courtyard nearby with some seating.

While the menu isn't expansive like many other boba places, I find that it adds to it's charm as it doesn't overwhelm you with choices. Plus, the drinks they have are all incredible! Not to mention, they do really cool themed drinks from time to time and...

Ordered in the car so it was ready when we drove through San Rafael because I'm always searching for new boba places to try!

We both ordered less sweet brown sugar bobas. I added crystal boba to mine. One of our favorite drinks. I usually order brown sugar boba or classic milk tea. Drinks were good and would come by again if in the area. Less sweet is perfect for me. Not too much sugar but enough the tea isn't bitter.

Drinks were made super fast so they were sitting a bit while we were stuck in traffic and they kept them in the...
