The Boba Lounge — Restaurant in Walnut Creek

ONE OF THE BEST BOBA PLACES—IT’S CURRENTLY MY TOP 1

I’ve been seeing this since I moved here from the Philippines 5 years ago. I think it was still under construction. Like others, I drove past this a million times but felt like finding a parking spot would be the challenge so finally after Google persuaded me to try this place in a very scorching hot day, I gave in. I cannot recommend this place enough. Recommended this to my chiropractor in the area right after getting my first order here. I ordered and would highly recommend Matcha Strawberry Latte with Salted Kreama and Grass Jelly. It was very rich, tasty and creamy. It wasn’t too sweet and I got happy whenever I sip chunks of strawberry jam. Yum!! It makes me reminisce the experience. I might get it right now again. LOL. I also ordered the 5pc Buffalo Chicken Wings. I thought it would be just dry, bought from Costco raw but no, it was so juicy and soft. I was eating them like lollipops. I will definitely come back soon. The owners were darling. They make you feel like family...

My son likes this place a lot. He wants to get a tea with tapioca after his coding class each week. They have an awards program that they do not honor. It says, "Buy 10 Get 1 FREE Taiwan Signature Tea." My son was super excited about getting his FREE tea drink, but when we went to redeem it, the owner said we can get $5 off or get a regular tea. I didn't want to fuss about it with my son present, but I think it dishonest to have an awards program that has the word in all caps "FREE" and then not honor it. I'm going to look for another tea place that is honest about their awards. This is too bad because we love Taiwan and want to support Taiwanese-owned businesses. If you are not going to honor your awards program, just don't...

Long story short, ordered the jasmine milk tea which is my staple drink at most places, and it was absolutely flavorless and watered down…. I did get 80% sweet and less ice but it shouldn’t be this tasteless. Not sure if it was a one off time but if a boba place can’t even make a standard jasmine milk tea right, then I don’t have much hope. Also, not sure if they misheard me but ordered a large (~$5.25) and got the smallest cup…. even smaller than a regular drink at other places? Super disappointed and don’t think I’ll be...
