Boba Bar

Update: I'm updating my review because management called to make things right and apologized to me to make sure nothing like this would happen to me or anyone else. Don't come here if you have autism or any sort of developmental disability, because you will be treated badly and discriminated against. Instead of telling me she didn't want to serve me, I was bullied by a worker who tried to gaslight me about previous orders when telling me that they would not do my usual order, in front of my social worker. She quadrupled down on the lie that you have never been able to add matcha to a crème brûlée drink. I literally have pictures proving that she is lying. To be clear, I'm not complaining about a new policy. It's simply not okay to gaslight customers about their previous experiences in attempts to embarrass them enough to not want to return to the store. Even my social worker noted that her treatment of me was uncalled for, mean, and unnecessary. I had done nothing wrong to merit that sort of treatment.

Go to Boba in downtown San Jose.I go to the gym nearby and this is the Goto spot for me and my Climbing Buddy every time we're wanting a little sweet snack or even a savory meal. When it comes to Boba, I always get the standard black milk tea with pearls and they have options on how much ice and how sweet you can make your Boba, which is nice. I always select 75% sweetness no ice with pearls. There is also an amazing food menu that blew me away. I had the fried eggplant and tofu and I could not believe my taste buds when I tasted this food. Obviously, I did not have high expectations. I really just came here for the Boba, but the tofu was fry to perfection and the sauce that they used, which I believe was a teriyaki sauce was absolutely delicious. It's such a cute atmosphere is super hipster and just takes me back to my college days. Highly recommend.

Not bad, but there's definitely better bubble tea spots downtown.I had the caramel milk tea which wasn't bad, I wish it had more tea flavor though. Solid 3.5/5It's easy to order at the kiosk or you can order at the counter. Definitely lots of options to suit everyone's needs.

This place was relatively close to where I was staying so it was a convenient place to get a drink. There isn't much to say about the service since this place is mainly technology based. The drinks are okay but the taro milk tea and mango drink are my favorites. There are definitely better boba places but it doesn't hurt to give this place a try if you're looking for convenient boba.

A friend was craving a drink from Boba Bar specifically so we decided to go there to give it a try again. Service was alright (nothing special) and the ambiance is the same as it is before - some tables both inside and outside to do work, nestled between some other restaurants with the Grad across from it. It's a nice place to go during campus (one of the three most convenient boba places) but is probably the most lackluster out of the three.I don't remember what my previous experience was like, but I found this experience to not be as a good as the other two places near campus (Gong Cha and Breaktime Tea). I suspected something had changed, but I'm not entirely sure what specifically about it was off. It's not terrible, but not special enough to consider going to again when there's other places that are both closer and better.

This place is near SJSU. We dropped by after lunch to buy drinks because it was so darn hot. Order at the kiosk. I got the mint oreo smoothie. The drinks came timely. The smoothie was pretty good. You can taste the mint and it wasn't watered down. This place is inside some historic house. Very interested to know the history of the building.

An organization I volunteered with put in a mass order with Boba Bar for an event we were putting on, Boba Bar staff were good about working with us so that we could get all the boba by the beginning of the event and I appreciate that since I know it was a lot more drinks for them to prepare than they normally would be getting orders for.I myself got a strawberry milk tea with mango jelly, the lowest sweetness they were able to do was 50% which was still very sweet. But I liked it overall, I do enjoy strawberry milk tea for that balance between sugary fruity flavor and dairy, and I appreciate that they have some toppings offered like the mango jelly. Overall, a decent option if you're in the downtown San Jose area.

It was quiet for a Friday afternoon. We were there around 3 pm and we ordered 6 drinks. It was nice ordering at the computer but if preferred you could order with the cashier up front. They have lots of different options and it tastes really refreshing and light.It's a family friendly location that is mainly Togo but does have some seating with lots of outlets for customers.

the dirty thai is so good especially with coffee jelly and i love there little claw machines

The milk tea was okay, but not memorable. It's a convenient spot if you're downtown, though the fried tofu and popcorn chicken could've been more flavorful. They also have a claw machine, but it's a bit pricey at $1 per play--probably not worth the cost.
