Wow, I'm actually really happy this T4 is here in Alameda. Having come from the South/East Bay with plentiful of good quality boba, this T4 does not disappoint.They have a variety of snacks and drinks, including egg puffs and coffee jelly (some T4s in South Bay do not have either). Normally I would get the earl grey milk tea, but I wasn't feeling that after dinner and decided to get the earl great black tea with coffee jelly instead, along with chocolate egg puffs. Both were great - especially how the black tea did not have any sediments and was clear, unlike some boba places could have it and it makes the tea have a horrid aftertaste.They also have a daily Happy Hour promotion of 20% off snacks.Will definitely come again!

T4 replaces Pho Sinh with totally new decor of dark blue, wood, vanilla, beige walls & some twinkling lites at the front. Decor limited to lit menus on right wall. Seating in front and along left wall.Order at counter. Ready in 5ish minutes.Offerings: snacks, milk tea, flavored tea, smoothies & milkshakes, toppings, taiwan classic desserts, Salted cream cheese top...Sips: Earl Grey Tea w/cream cheese top (L. 6.25)-no ice, no sugar. Drank with small straw. Didn't shake per suggestion when asked. -tea semi robust flavor, cream cheese slightly sweet.-should have drank thru slit sans straw ala Happy Lemon style. Combined cheese & tea probably 5 stars. 4.5 stars instead. *drinks have improved in quality. Snacks still ok.

The service was not great. We walked in the door and up to the cashier at about 7:59pm last night.. we know bc we checked our phone when we saw the happy hour sign. (Never been here before, just randomly decided to try it) The unhappy girl with attitude asked us for our order, while giving us the total we asked "oh did we not make it to happy hour?" No answer, didn't even look at us. Maybe we didn't, which is fine but completely ignoring us was rude. But whatever, what do I expect from a boba shop? Anyway, we just wanted a snack and some milk tea. The milk tea was okay, I would probably get the milk tea again. But the food, I don't think I would get it again. We ordered the lobster balls and popcorn chicken. Pretty sure it gave us some type of stomach bug/food poisoning. We've been sick all day - I had mainly the lobster balls and a few pieces of the popcorn chicken. My fiancé had most of the popcorn chicken and he's way sicker than me. Whole ride home eating it, he kept questioning if it was cooked all the way. Maybe it was an off night?

Best boba spot in Alameda. The strawberry milkshake was one of the best I've ever had. Waffle was super good and not too sweet. Milk tea was also really good. If you're around the area please go to T4 Alameda.

Welcome back!Quality/Quantity - You were one of my daughter's favorite boba places. Usually a 5 star experience. But today, my daughter's boba was firm/hard as if they were old...? But the other drink's boba was good?!?! Was this from the same batch?The flavors of the drinks were good.Atmosphere - Small location. I think it is better than the previous location. At least you are not behind a huge column/pole now.Metered street parking.A few tables inside for eating and drinking.I believe a unisex bathroom...? I did not check, sorry. But I did notice a line for the bathroom. Service - Self service iPad. Then they call your # or name to pick up at the counter.Happy hour available from 6-8pm, but not worth the drive back to save $2.Price - $13, sorry iPad receipts are email only and my wife paid so I can not give you the drink descriptions, name, etc.Owner Comment - Again, welcome back. Congrats on your opening since 11/2/24. I am sure we will be regular customers again.

Well, well, well. T4, now that is a name I have not heard in a long time. The last I ever saw of this was early-mid pandemic when it seemed to be struggling. Then the store front went dark and bordered up during the dark times.Lo and behold! Literally just across the street from its original location on Park, it's now re-emerged. Slightly smaller than before but perhaps more manageable this time of the kids do not destroy place like before.So I had to go in and try out what most frequently ordered item from them. Popcorn chicken. It's been many years so I only have a faint memory of how it use to be. But I'd say it's still fairly decent. Hot, crunchy breading and solid seasoning. And just like before they keep the salt n pepper & chili powder shakers at the side to use at your pleasure. A solid snack that I will likely rely upon again.The day I came was a bit early and cold so I wasn't in the mood for a cold frosty smoothie. But the person assured me they still had my ole fav. I think it was called red bean matcha smoothie. I couldn't actually see that name on the board. But I'll be back to test it out later when it's warmer!Stay tuned...

Soft opening today. I love the popcorn chicken, it was perfectly fried and seasoned. I got my usual milk tea with grass jelly, I really like the silky and smooth grass jelly. I also got the red bean smoothie with boba for the kids, they loved it. The shop is bright and inviting. Servers and baristas were friendly.

Not too happy with the service here. I was standing in line to order a drink and I understand how the line system works you wait your turn for the person to be done then move forward so on and so on however for some reason the cashier ignored or pass me, but he called up the people that were behind me to place the order first I thought this was ridiculous.

T4 in Alameda is back! I wasn't too hungry so I just got popcorn chicken without any drinks but it was delicious. Perfectly moist, juicy, and crispy on the outside. The seasoning on it was spot on too. I used the self-order iPad to order so I can't speak much on the service but the interior of the place is modern and relatively spacious.

Me and my bf were a bit hungry and Was craving a snack so we stopped by at t4. On the wall the pictures of the calamari rings looked good so my bf suggested we order it. After ordering it we were disappointed bc there was only 8 small pieces of calamari & we paid almost 10$ ): def not good to share between us. ( it looks bigger in my photo but it's actually not that big and filled less than half the box)I wasn't sure if that was the usual quantity so I just asked one of the male employee who looked like the manager and asked if they sell by the piece & I think he said it is usually sold by the number of pieces but he gladly just offered us a second batch. Really appreciated it. So 4 stars for him. Hopefully they can clarify there's only 8 pieces on the wall or menu so ppl won't be disappointed when they order it. If you're hungry I suggest ordering the popcorn chicken as a better snack and enough to share!!
