The Bobacraft milk tea and peachyberry drink were tasty, the boba was very fresh and had the perfect consistency. I'm glad I tried the cream custard wheelbase, it wasn't too sweet and was warm and fresh. Would definitely go here again!

I ordered the taro pearl milk tea and the spicy popcorn chicken. I wasn't expecting real taro in the tea but it was a delicious surprise. This is really Bobacraft! The vibes of the place are really chill too. So it's no wonder why students love going here after school. Overall, this is a great boba place!

Searching for genuine & authentic Taiwanese popcorn (鹽酥雞)? You're in the right place. To its perfection, crispy on the outside, Juicy on the inside with a flavourful crust that contrasts and complements the tender chicken it contains. The starch is deeply browned, allowing the complex flavours created by the Maillard reaction to shine through, without letting anything burn.

Bobacraft milk tea taste super good! Not like other store use tea powder. They use real cream and real milk that you can taste! Recommend. Come and try.

I also ordered wheel cake taro flv. Not too sweet everything just perfect. Super yummy

Bobacraft Cafe is pretty nice for an assortment of sweet or savory snacks and a drink.

Not the best boba in a highly competitive area, but is decent. The Wheelcakes and Popcorn Chicken Deluxe have been my favorite things to pick up so far. I personally like the cheesy espresso flavor, but they have more common flavors like cream custard.

Popcorn Chicken Deluxe comes with fresh onions and garlic, which makes it much more fragrant and adds some variety in what you’re chewing on compared to the normal version.

Service is pretty good. Everyone I’ve ordered from has been very polite and patient. It’s ultimately a nice place to either pick something up or sit for a bit to escape the summer heat.

I used to order these wheel cakes in Taiwan downstairs from my apartment from a lady with a cart. I could also buy them from carts in front of certain Asian supermarkets in SGV but haven't seen them in so long. They cost a lot more now but given inflation and how good the filling is I think it's very reasonable.

Their matcha w/ red bean is also really yummy. Matcha grade is solid. Red bean is a good level of sweetness and smoothness. I got the drink at a 30% sweetness level and it was perfect with the red bean.

Service is quick.
Staff was nice.
Overall very satisfied.

A solid boba spot with more than just boba on the menu.

I had their brown sugar boba blast with red bean. It was delicious and a filling dessert, the flavor was excellent and the boba was delicious. Overall it was a great drink.

I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items including their food offerings.

place seems understaffed every time i come. my biggest gripe tho is how they play the same pop playlist on loop. wouldn't be so offended if it weren't the cheesiest clickbait youtuber coded playlist. like iykyk, this kinda music kinda ruined the atmosphere for me. food is pretty good though, specifically their popcorn chicken (must get!).

This place is SO good! I believe it was the owner who took our order and he was so incredibly kind and patient. They also had wheel cakes which were so fun and tasty. Their taro pearl milk is one of the best I have ever tried! Definitely recommend.

The boba drinks were okay, the prices were fair. The service was bad, very bad. From the time I placed my order, to the time I received my drinks, it took about 20 minutes. A few people had walked in and ordered as well. When a young lady finally came out, I asked how much longer would it be for my 3 drinks. She said I'm not sure, and walked to the back again. This time to grab drinks and desserts for the people who had ordered after me. Will never return to this place, and definitely won't recommend it to anyone I know.

Did an online order and tried the boba milk tea along with the wheel cakes. The boba was good. I've never had these wheel cakes before. They were cute looking and tasted interesting. The custard wheel cake was my favorite, followed by the taro and cookies and cream. The one with boba in it didn't seem like it goes together since I associate it with boba.

I love getting the pink cloud drink here with lychee jelly. They are short staff here so please be patient with them. I also ordered the wheel cakes and they take about 20 mins to make. I got the red bean ones and it so flavorful and not too sweet. My husband loves the cookies and cream ones and they put a whole oreo in it. Just be patient with the staff working there because they are so nice and being staffed and busy is not their fault. The wait time can be long but it's worth it to me.

Bobacraft has my favorite black milk tea 🖤
The tea is made fresh! It has the best taste. I am addicted. I always buy 2 drinks, for myself 🤭🤫

I drive out of my way from another city just for this tea!

You can order online, by phone, or in person. They usually call back if they miss a call.

The Boba is also good!

The inside atmosphere is such a good vibe!

And the workers are the most respectful which I really appreciate.

Parking is difficult due to a limited space, but the drinks are worth it.

WiFi available.

Family friendly.

Thank you BOBACRAFT!

Great place to chill; My friend brought his switch for some bubble tea and mario kart time. Also, suitable for a nice study session with your friend...or person of interest. Super friendly environment and accomodating.

Sizable menu to choose from. Worth a try.

Wheel cakes are a neat experience if you have yet to try it. I really enjoyed the custard flavour.

I ordered salted crispy chicken, sweet sweet potato fries, and recruited wheel cakes (recruitment custard, matcha red bean, brown sugar boba, creamy chocolate) are not greasy and delicious. This store has been open for three years and I have lived here for 7 years. Well, I just learned from what my friends said, I just go to order and eat when I have time, and children like it too.

Not sure how I feel. I only ordered a Taro Milk Boba(pearl).

>>1st Dare I say, the taro was actually real and not powdered.
>>2nd the pearls were clear in color.

>>1st respond, I miss the sweetness powdered taro milk tea.
>>2nd respond, the pearls had zero flavor.
>>3rd respond, two percent fat milk basically filled more than half of the cup in my order.

I still want to try their custard-fill cake.

One of my favorite places in the area. Jasmine and Oolong Milk Tea with boba... very consistent flavor and texture. Popcorn chicken is good.

I don't recommend the wheelcakes, they have a drier texture and can take a long time to make.

This place will always be my favorite boba place. I’ve enjoyed every single drink I’ve ever gotten here and the food here is delicious as well! Make sure to check into Yelp to get a free upgrade to a large drink. If you are a fan of having a stronger tea taste, get 75 or 80% sugar. I will have to say though, please be patient. Ever since COVID there’s only 1-2 staff there working so there may be a bit of a wait, but it’s definitely worth it!

Before the pandemic this was my go-to place. I love jasmine tea (hot and iced), which is what I mainly got but they have so many other selections. They also have really good tasting wheel cakes and other food. What I love the most about this place is how the people who have worked there have always made me feel welcome. Especially the owner, John. He's always kind and I'm so happy that this little tea house made it through a rough year. I want to lend my support to them. I do believe they take phone orders so if you are a little weary of going there in person i believe you can call in and make an order. It was nice coming back to this place.

Very friendly service. Their custard is on the eggy side. Their red bean has chunks of red beans in it. If you like chocolate custard, give the oreo wheel cake a go. Wheel cakes taste best when fresh. Lots of people ordering wheel cakes so I recommend ordering ahead or else you may have to wait a long time. They are available on Grubhub, Ubereats, etc. There is a buy 8 wheel cakes, get 1 free deal. They have many drink and snack options available.

3.5!

Always got a craving for wheel cakes, especially since the people outside the markets are long gone. I wanted to try like half of their menu, but decided to go with two flavors that are not common.

I love tuna and corn, so I thought this would be interesting. First thing I noticed was that the bread wasn't properly sealed all around as the bread was cracking, so I had to be careful with how I was holding it. Once I took a bite, I felt like I was mainly tasting corn, which I love, but the tuna kind of got lost instead. The filling was packed, which could either be a good thing or bad thing. Since it was filled, the wheel cake inside was quite thin. For me, I preferred if there was more breading as I like the taste of it. This could use some improvements for both the ratio and the taste.

Cookies and cream was more enjoyable for me. Although, I would have called this chocolate cream and cookie. It didn't look like your typically white and black cream mixed with cookie bits, but rather a chocolate cream on top of a Oreo like cookie. Even though it wasn't what I thought it would be, I still liked it.

I do miss the days when they were a lot cheaper as I would buy multiple at a time, but seems like the norm for these are $2.25+ now. Would come back to try their other flavors.

Bad service, no greets when you come in or when you're going to order. Milk tea was good and fresh. The young guy behind the register had his friends all over the place and cared more about chatting with them than his customers.

When you open a business you must take care of your customers, greet them, and make them feel welcome. That will keep them coming. Just a tip for your future success!

For now I won't come back. But I hope they fix their staff problem.

So I'm basing four stars on my own drink. I typically get the Boba milk tea at a new spot just to see if they can get the basics down. They use a fresh whole milk for their house tea and it's pretty refreshing.right now, this place is closer to a 3.5 but I rounded it up. I will visit again to see if other drinks can warrant five stars. I did notice they offer a lot of snacks, which looked pretty tasty.

I went in around 9:30 pm on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy. The cashier was super nice and helpful. I ordered the pink matcha with boba. It is essentially strawberry matcha. Definitely reduce the sugar amount. I lowered it to 50% but I could have gone to 25%. It wasn't crazy sweet but if you don't I would imagine it to be really sweet. I also lowered the ice amount to 50%. It was actually a really good combo of flavors. I would recommend the drink! The boba was a good texture. I would like to try the cloud drinks next time.
