Tea So - Castro Valley

I used to think that Tee So in Castro Valley was a good place for Boba tea, since it is close to my house. However, my last two visits were terrible. The first time, the drink tasted bad and the person who made it seemed annoyed. I didn't feel welcomed at all, as the man was always on his phone. On my second visit, he was still on his phone and appeared irritated. He showed more interest in his phone than taking my order and didn't even greet me. The drinks were also subpar. I won't be returning to Tee So and will opt for Tea'mo instead, as it is much better.

The best boba in Castro Valley can be found at Boba Square. The interior is very clean and cute, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. They even went out of their way to make a chocolate milk drink for my daughter, even though it's not on the menu. The Thai tea is also excellent. Boba Square is a must-visit spot for boba lovers like me.

This restaurant serves the best tapioca in the city, with a perfect balance of taste and texture. Although slightly more expensive than other boba shops, it is worth it because they do not use artificial syrups. You must try it.

Place is cute. Bubble waffles are more mochi-ish than other places. Red bean one was very good.Ordered salted cream cheese foam oolong and the tea was so very strong! Mango smoothie was just ok.

Great cozy corner for 2 or 3 ppl to hide out. There are outdoor sittings and parking at the back of this little house. Brown sugar boba black milk tea tastes perfect just-right sweetness even without sugar and ice adjustment. Boba is at perfect chewiness too! I will come back for more. We also ordered sesame egg puff tasty!
