Boba Guys — Restaurant in San Ramon

Did not live up to the hype (especially given we had to wait in a line so long it was out the door). It was just okay. -Dirty horchata: It looked cool with the espresso floated on the top layer, but the horchata tasted like very diluted rice water. The horchata was only minimally sweetened and I could barely taste the cinnamon—very different than what I have tasted from various authentic Mexican restaurants. The boba was mediocre since they were not particularly sweet and they were a bit firm, not as soft and chewy as they should be, and I even ordered 50% ice so they should not have been hardened by the coldness. -Ponche: I couldn’t taste the star anise at all. Cinnamon flavor was almost undetectable but I did see and feel the cinnamon granules (which is not necessarily pleasant, especially if I couldn’t taste enough of it). I ordered this with aloe, which was typical aloe, no complaints. -Classic Black milk tea with boba: my wife and cousin ordered this and said they were...

Super thrilled to have a Boba Guys in the East Bay! This is the best place around to grab boba during the day, unless you get stuck behind someone picking up an order of like 5-10+ drinks for their coworkers around 3pm :/

If you work around the San Ramon area, show your work badge and ask for the local "neighborhood discount" - it's 10% off each item in your order!

I love the lavender black decaf milk tea in the afternoons as well as the purple ube with coconut milk. If you haven't tried a mochi donut yet, it's worth it - the slightly chewy texture is not for all but I'd recommend the chocolate one.

They just introduced Hong Kong style toast here recently and it's AMAZING. I tried the original with honey buttercream and it was so light and fluffy (more like cake than challah bread) that I didn't want to share any of it with my coworkers!

This location also has tons of seating with tables and chairs, along with a few wooden amphitheatre-style steps...

This place is over hyped and overpriced. Went here in December of 2021 and again today on 1/29/2022.

My husband's coworker suggested this place to him, despite the fact that we all live in Vegas.

The first time I went was at night and right after we showed up, a line formed behind us out the door! I ordered a hot rose tea with no sugar and it was over brewed. I wasn't a fan so I kept stealing sips of my husband's drink (forgot what it was.)

This time when we flew back to the Bay, my husband was adamant that we come back to Boba Guys. We ordered 2 large oolong milk teas, no sweetener and almond jelly (+$0.65) which came out to a little less than $14.

The teas tasted like they were brewed for 15 seconds. If you want a $7 watered down milk with tasteless almond jelly, I guess order this.

My husband admitted that he didn't know why he thought it was so good the last time but not this time, especially when it's more expensive than other...
