Comment: Drinks have super weak flavor. $13 for 2 drinks that taste like tea leaves and milk or water. Friendly staff. I get going for different but I can’t imagine a ton of return customers.

Comment: Their policies are a bit silly. I got a tea at lunch and brought something to eat but they kicked me out for bringing in outside food. I would understand this policy if they sold real food or they were busy and needed the table, but they dont sell food (Only baked goods) and the place was completely empty so its not like they needed the table for other customers. Seems like a shortsighted policy since I usually go there on my lunch break, but now I will go somewhere that allows me to eat.

Comment: Really really want to love this place: its super close to my house, most of the people who work there seem nice, its stylish and mellow. However, I dont. Ive gone many times and while the tea drinks are quite good, I am usually going because my kid wants boba and I avoid caffeine after noon so we end up with seasonal fruit ades off the kids menu and they never have enough fruit added for my taste (and no, I dont want to add extra fruit for another $2, that makes the drinks way too expensive). Todays experience was particularly annoying as the worker didnt see my order (I had ordered using the self-serve station because they were too busy making drinks to help me). It was taking awhile and no one was doing anything so I asked about my order. He realized his mistake and made our drinks but I was never offered an apology. And when he was done making them he left them on the counter and commenced talking to his friends (I was waiting outside with my daughter and didnt hear him call out my name but I was visible and given the circumstances, the best customer service move wouldve been for someone to come hand us our drinks and give an apology). To top it off, there was very little boba in either of our drinks. Overall, I think Ive decided I wont be returning :(

Comment: Milk tea was very overpriced considering it was just tea and milk (tastes exactly like the thing I make at home). I guess that’s fair considering milk tea can just be tea and milk but considering they’re charging almost 6 dollars I assumed it would be on par with other milk teas in the area. Their other stuff might be better but the milk tea isn’t worth it

Comment: Milk tea wae okay, I wasnt particularly impressed with the coffee milk tea but it wasnt too sweet so that was good. There are a few tables inside and a couple of clean, code locked bathrooms. Not many baked items but seems like they have a special baked goods selection that you can order ahead, which run out by early afternoon on the weekend.Would love to see larger variety of toppings, like cheese.

Comment: Great place to grab a cup of tea; they have many varieties of tea from Taiwanese oolong to Japanese matcha. You can also grab some loose leaf teas to brew your own cup at home. This is their newer location opened during the pandemic.They have seasonal variations of their drinks and my current obsession is their yuzu matcha! The yuzu adds a great brightness and therefore complement to a hot cup of matcha.While they offer boba; this is a legit tea house….not your usual boba shop. They have seating outside and just open their indoor space to enjoy whatever you order.

Comment: Yes, their matcha is good but I wouldn’t recommend their fruit teas. There are tons of flavor options, but they only had a few actually available when I went last week. The strawberry green tea was very watery and had no strawberry (or green tea) flavor at all.

Comment: I tried the blueberry tea and it was okay. I like that non-dairy and dairy options were both available. I’d recommend expanding the option of toppings to include lychee shavings or bursting flavored boba, only had plain boba.

Comment: One of my favorite tea places. Everything on their menu is amazing. Try the seasonal fruit purée with tea when you want something refreshing. Get the Hong Kong milk tea if you’re craving something sweeter. Get chai if you’re feeling spicy. Get matcha if you’re a matcha lover!

Comment: I was THRILLED to move to Oakland from SF and find that a second Asha location exists here! The quality of their matcha is incredibly fresh and vibrant. I usually go for their matcha sparkler, and occasionally splurge on the matcha strawberry milk tea.Only warning: parking can get tricky. Best to order ahead and dip in to get.

Comment: Eh not great. First the menu is really hard to read, too many fonts and its big massive. When I finally found something I wanted, the tea lady told me they only had the seasonal flavors listed on the board. So why do you have a full giant menu?? Remove the menus and just use the board. I got a blood orange tea with boba. The first two sips were ok, very sweet and then bam the nasty bitter taste of over cooked orange peel engulfed my mouth. Took another sip, eek this is soo bad. My friend started saying the same thing. Both of our drink were so horribly bitter we couldn’t get past three or four sips. Not everyone knows how to cook with citrus and this was the case here. This Drink tasted like I was just eating the white rind of the orange. So gross so dissatisfied so bummed I spent $20 on two drinks that got thrown out after three sips.

Comment: Love the tea here. There are many varieties and you can customize your drink. I especially like their seasonal drinks, like taro, strawberry tea. You can taste the real ingredients, not just the flavor syrup. So good!

Comment: Great lightly sweetened boba tea. Strongly recommend the oolong or jasmine tapioca milk teas. You may want to stick with normal sweet on your first go. Its a lot less sugary than most of their competition.
