Mr. Green Bubble - Oakland

Jasmine milk tea was ok. $5 for small including bobaSmoothies were a bit expensive

The tapioca balls themselves weren't very good.Food: 3/5

This has a kiosk for ordering. The only tricky part here is that the parking is sort of a disaster. I've spent multiple occasions where I really wanted to stop by and pick up my drink and I just couldn't find parking

Not sure about the negative reviews, but I had a very positive experience here. Came a few hours prior to closing on a weekday night so it wasn't too busy and was able to sit (there is limited seating). Took a second to realize that that ordering was through kiosks and there are 3 kind of all spread out.Ended up getting the thai tea, jasmine milk tea, and level 3 spicy popcorn chicken. Highly recommend the popcorn chicken. Perfectly crispy with well cooked meat (not too dry). Recommend some amount of spice, there are multiple levels to suit your preferences. The teas were good, reasonably priced. I didn't have any issues with the service, unlike some of the other reviews.Overall, it was a great place for a late night snack.

Mr. Green Bubble was founded in 2010 on Piedmont Avenue. I have been going to Mr. Green Bubble ever since they opened. They specialize in serving premium hand crafted tea from Taiwan and Japan along with a large selection of snacks such as popcorn chicken, tofu, and chicken wings. Everytime we would drive by Green Bubble, my dad would always say there is no way Mr. Green Bubble will make it; they are going to close soon. Little did he know, they would be open for another 13 years. In fact, they now have 8 locations. When I was younger, my drink of choice was Thai iced tea with boba and popcorn chicken. As I have gotten older, I find that I usually order the original milk tea with boba and fried tofu, spice level 1. Surprisingly, spice level 1 has enough heat without being overwhelming.Mr. Green Bubble is my go to boba place and they can count on me to remain a loyal customer even as boba shops continue to open around them. I find that their drinks are consistent and they offer a wide variety of options for when I am looking for something new and different. The staff is quick and friendly and always seem to make an effort to say hi to each customer. It is very kid friendly and they even have games and toys in the back part of the store.If you are ever in the area and craving boba tea, I recommend you go to Mr. Green Bubble. Although the service can sometimes be slow, it is a local boba tea place and everything always tastes great. If you go, you may even see me there!
