Bobafinitea

Bobafinitea shares a space inside of Mochiholic - a mochi donut shop in the Rose Pavilion plaza. There is plenty of shared parking here as well out front. Ordering is through the kiosks in store, or for easier and faster pickup - order online because they are usually fairly busy. They usually have donuts and drink(s) combo, so keep an eye out for that, especially if you want to pair a boba with some delicious mochi donuts.

My go to drink here is their green milk tea with boba or a green tea creama/milk foam with boba. The milk tea is on the creamier side with a lighter tea taste to it. The green tea creama is my favorite out of the two drinks - it has a good creaminess and tea ratio, and it just hits the spot to grab one for my drive home or to work. They have new seasonal drinks often, so keep a lookout for those, especially if you love trying new drinks/flavors.

I wanted to give Bobafinitea another chance. I focused on a fairly standard drink and also with boba to see if there were improvements since the first time I had boba here. In short, boba texture and cook were good, but very sweet. The drink was a bit watered down, but had a strong tea flavor (for the classic milk tea) though not true with the Oreo milk tea. Wish that no sugar and ice levels were a standard option when ordering. Perhaps I'll stick to the fruit creamas for next retry. A little pricey, but an okay option for boba.

Bobafinitea is located inside Mochiholic inside the plaza off of Rosewood Dr and Santa Rita Rd. It's in the same plaza as Total Wine and 99 Ranch. The parking lot it shared by all the other establishments, but I've always found parking immediately in front of the shop.

There are two self ordering kiosks to the right where you can choose to get drinks and/or donuts. There were several seats for waiting to pick up your order. They have their own rewards system on the kiosks. I don't recall which it was but it was not Five Stars. It does remember how many orders you've gotten.

The menu has special seasonal items as well as "combos" with mochi donuts and drinks. They have milk teas, matcha drinks, fruit creama drinks, butterfly pea lemonade, smoothies, and coffee. I don't understand why there's no normal tea with creama drinks. I typically like just a standard oolong with creama when I don't want toppings. I'm sure it's possible but I'm sure you pay the normal price. Speaking of pricing. It's a little higher than regular spots. Starts roughly at $6 with no toppings to $7 for the seasonal drinks which sometimes already have toppings in them already. Toppings are $0.50 for relatively everything and $0.75 for crystal boba.

The menu feels pretty straight forward but again the struggle bus happens when using the self ordering kiosks. Today I struggled a bit with the software as I did a search initially for "oreo" and when trying to order other drinks, you would think you can just click on other areas of the menu but nope, you have to clear out that search term before anything else pops up. I thought I was stuck and nothing was responding for a little while. But luckily clicking on the search term got me to the "clearing" of the term.

There are sometimes options and no option for drinks. When placing the order for the Oreo milk tea, the first option to select was just sugar level. I didn't see an option to pick black, green or oolong, so I ended up entering it in the special instructions. I didn't like that there wasn't an option for ice level or "no" sugar level. I forgot to add instructions about ice, but I did say "no sugar if possible" for both my drinks. I generally don't like ice in my drinks as it waters it down and I like to control my ice if I do need to add it. Also I typically don't get sugar in my drinks especially if I get a topping as the toppings typically are sweet.

I got a normal oolong milk tea, no sugar with ice and boba. With the ice the drink did feel more watered down which I was afraid of. The boba actually had a nice texture and chew but unfortunately, very very sweet. I'm really really glad I asked for no additional sugar or more so I'm glad the employee was able to do no sugar in my drink. Otherwise, the oolong was very present and had a lovely flavor.

I had a sip of the Oreo Milk Tea (Oolong base, no sugar, with ice and boba). It was definitely a dessert in a cup. The Oreo felt like it was crushed Oreos including the cream. But that was pretty much the only thing you could taste and it clashed with the sweetener used in the boba. I can't imagine how this drink would be with additional sugar and REALLY glad there was no additional sugar added because it was definitely a sugar rush with my one sip. You couldn't really taste the tea base which was a shame and the main flavor profile you taste is the Oreo. Great if you really love Oreo and not wanting to taste the tea. I would highly suggest getting no sugar unless you do have a super sweet tooth (which I do not).

The person who made my drinks was very nice and also let me know he didn't add additional sugar as I requested which I really appreciated. I was the only one there and it took not too long to get my drinks. Everything was nicely packaged in a bag fit for two drinks. It was cute!

For a classic milk tea with boba, $6.50 is steep. I probably won't be back for a standard drink. I would probably also stay away from the boba topping as it was definitely too sweet for me. I wish there was a "no sugar" option outside of entering text as well as ice level options on all drinks. Perhaps their other drinks are a little more worth it. But if you do have a sweet tooth for drinks and also like mochi donuts, this would be your go to place. I at least won't completely rule this place out for my boba Tuesdays. It may just be more creama Tuesdays :)

Fast, friendly service. Crème brûlée ube smoothie ($7.00) that comes with BOBA. No need to add boba on to it. I asked for less sweet and it was sooo good. 5 stars.

This is located where WestTea used to be a couple years ago. Will drop by here whenever I'm in the area.

I love the donuts here more than the boba drinks. The mochi donuts have a different texture and variety of frosting. Unhealthy, but wouldn't hurt once in a while. The service is fast.

Bobafinitea is located inside of Mochiholic. Their boba was 10/10, so good. I got their Mochi topping instead of boba, at first I thought they didn't put any in but it was just clear and not visible. Super chewy and not super sweet.

Workers were super friendly. We got our drinks in less than 10 minutes. I love their atmosphere. Everything is so cutely decorated.

We went back for a too good to go bag from Bobafinitea another time. Boba was still delicious. I wish they told us what drinks we got.

A perfect place that you can grab bubble tea, desert and mochi donuts!

The mochi donuts have a lot of flavors. I like the Oreo one best.

Love the fruit tea and matcha mango latte. All freshly made mango!

Nice little spot, swing by after brunch with the gals on Saturday and grab some desserts. Might not be good for a large group, but it was four of us so it's comfy. Take advantage of their combos, good deals for boba and mochi donuts. I have to say their donuts is so yummy and very nice decor , like the minion one . Definitely coming back.

Shortly after my initial review, I was invited back for another visit by Bobafinitea for a second try on their drinks! I really appreciated Bobafinitea for reaching out and for the service we received during our visit - thank you Michael and to the employee who helped us!

This time, I decided to go another route and instead order one of their fruit-based drinks instead of one with milk after not enjoying their premium brown sugar milk twice in a row. I opted for the Passion Fruit Peach Crema drink which came topped with Milk Foam. To my surprise, the drink was incredibly refreshing!

I ordered it with a green tea base and crystal boba. The drink wasn't too sweet, the milk foam had a great amount of fluff and added more dimension to the overall flavor, and the crystal boba made the perfect addition for texture. The passion fruit and peach flavors were also very present!

Their ordering system can be a bit complicated, but once again keep an eye out since they usually have discount codes available.

The service was great and it took about 15-20 minutes for us to get 4 drinks. I also noticed they've listened to the reviews and cleaned up a bit and added additional seating indoors which is nice especially if you're coming with friends for some drinks and desserts. It really shows that they care about improving and their reviews - thank you Bobafinitea again for a much better experience! :-)

I consider myself a bit of a boba snob, so I had my expectations set fairly low for this place as it just came up on Yelp as my closest boba store when visiting the area on New Year's day. I was PLEASANTly surprised! (get it? because it's located in Pleasanton?)

I got a lychee black tea, 25% sweet, no ice, with boba. They followed my order to a tee (haha get it? because it's tea??? okay I will stop) My drink was so delicious and the boba was cooked well: soft and chewy! They don't have a category for adjusting the ice level so you have to manually write that in as a special note for your drink. I had never seen a boba lid like theirs, it comes with a little plug that caps your drink where your straw would go, and then there's even a little indentation on the lid to put the plug to hold it in place while you're enjoying your drink. Fascinating!

The price point of these drinks may seem high, but tbh nowadays, top tier quality boba is all in the $6-7 dollar per drink range. Gone are the days of good boba at $3 a cup. As a self-proclaimed boba connoisseur, Bobafinitea has met my expectations for their quality boba and I would highly recommend it! I would love to come back if I'm in the area again.

Made a pit stop here for some Westea only to find out it's been replaced! Popped in anyway before our road trip. This is a combo shop with a mochi donut business with it (the mochi donut shop is the name advertised up top, will review on their Yelp page separately). They had cute holiday decor inside and matching custom donut boxes!

When you enter, you just order at the kiosk. I will admit the kiosk menu was set up a bit scattered in my opinion. I like to be able to see the whole menu at once and find options easily instead of in sections, so it was a bit confusing to look at and scroll. Since they are a combo shop, they offer deals to purchase x drinks with x donuts. We did the 1 drink + 3 donut option and ordered a second drink.

I'm always interested in drinks unique to a boba shop or that I can't find on other menus so I tried out their Rose Coffee Latte. This was delicious! Combined two flavors I love and it actually worked out great. Bf had the brown sugar milk tea which seems to be a staple on most boba shop menus, but this one had an interesting taste to the milk and I actually liked it. It tasted like they used molasses for their brown sugar sauce/syrup instead of what other shops generally use. Either way, the drinks were unique and yummy.

Also I noticed their Yelp menu seems to include some options I didn't see available at the time, but maybe I just missed them from the kiosk? Not completely sure.

Would give 5/5 but he the prices were insane. I remember buying boba drinks half the price and slowly seen the increase to $5 and now $6-7+ which is just gouging! I'd consider coming back to try their creme brulee drink, but I know of at least 2 other boba shops that offer creme brulee options without paying that much....on top of that, I liked Westea /: conflicted bc this shop isn't bad, but the cost is pretty disappointing.
