Yifang Taiwan Fruit Tea

Yifang has many stores around the Bay Area, and no matter where I go, it never disappoints. This Alameda location is especially lovely due to its spacious indoor seating and welcoming interior decorations. Located in the South Shore Plaza, this boba shop can get quite busy--likely because it's the only boba shop in the plaza.They have an extensive menu, and I opted for the Yakult Lychee Tea--two of my favorite flavors combined. It was a very refreshing drink. I ordered it with boba, but since the boba was warm, it brought the drink to room temperature. Despite that, the flavor was still great, and the combination of Yakult and lychee was perfect.

My typical go to drink at Yifang is their black tea latte with egg pudding. The egg pudding here is not the same at all. It's frankly weird to me. I prefer the way SF Chinatown location does it. Other than this I can say it's a good option in the area still. Alameda has a couple of the chains and some smaller independent ones. This location have two self ordering kiosks. Not a lot of interactions with the staff. It's really just order, pick up, and go. They have some indoor seating if you want to chill.

Just ordered a large (extra $0.75 charge), low ice signature fruit tea. Was handed a suspiciously not large looking cup so I asked the server if what I was holding was a large. He glanced up and said yes. I leave and see someone outside with a "large" cup (they don't have an X-Large size so...). Unhappily drank up my drink to find cup 3/4 full of ice. So, what's the point of customizing if they're just going to give you whatever they feel like making? Ugh. Not returning.

I haven't seen cantaloupe tea elsewhere so far, so this is what I come here for! Downside is that Yifang is overall pretty pricey.

Always a go-to when I come to the shoreline mall/alameda. I personally love the mango pomelo sago- so chewey and refreshing with the grapefruit. My sis got the same but her boba was a bit too cold and not up to par as usual. Otherwise, always great and fast service. I wish they could make the seating area a bit nicer but I understand things have changed since covid.

Decent customer service. The pearls were tasty, with the perfect sweetness and the drink was the perfect full body matcha.

I used to always get their mango pomelo sago and looooved it. I still do! I love how it's icey. I usually get 0% sweetness and it's just the right amount of sweetness. Then I ventured out and tried their almond jelly late and it's also good! The original one has grass jelly and it's already good. But then recently, I saw you can exchange the grass jelly out for almond jelly and it was delicious! During my most recent trip, I tried the osmanthus tea. It was one of the most flavorful osmanthus drinks I've had. I wanted to try their osmanthus jelly but they were sold out so I got boba instead. I wouldn't get the boba again. It wasn't that great compared to their other toppings.

Nice and refreshing drinks!Our first time here. We ordered through their kiosk and the wait wasn't too long. The drinks were good. I got the mango sago and my bf ordered the black tea pearl. It tasted fresh and just how we liked it. They didn't have boba, though. They called their's pearls, it was similar but not the same in my opinion. They have a cute little space w/ a waiting area. I needed to use the bathroom, but there was an out of service sign.

The Yifang in Mountain View is a small boba to-go spot. We tried their Yakult Mountain Tea drink and Mango Pomelo Sago. While we didn't enjoy the Yakult drink, the Mango Pomelo Sago was a hit! The combination of mango flavor with the delightful texture of sago was fantastic. The service was pretty quick too. If you're in Mountain View and craving a cold boba drink, definitely go for their Mango Pomelo drink!

Stopped by on Sunday, 12/31/23 for the first time with my sister and my dad. This place is located inside the South Shore Center/Plaza.
