Boba Guys - San Ramon

I appreciate having vegan options available, as many boba tea places use premade mixes that are not vegan. However, I have had issues with my order coming out warm, which I find unappealing. Additionally, the service at this location is not the best. Despite these drawbacks, my favorite drink to order is the Korean Banana with Oatly.

This place is located at City Center Shopping. It appears to be a busy place on Saturday afternoon. The order line goes through quickly as well as wait time for your order. The menu has several different boba drinks compare to other places. There was a fall special drinks menu. One of the drink I ordered was sort of expensive compare another I ordered and they were the same size. I would suggest to try them.

Thai tea literally tastes like water... terrible recipe. If you're gonna make Thai tea make it right

After lunch, we had a hankering for boba. I was mostly attracted to the armadillo-looking logo because I like armadillos. The café is apparently a local chain so that's good. Boba Guys is located in the shopping center and next to one of the staircases of the parking garage. The workers were friendly and fast. I liked the modern, minimalist style. But the cafe seems to be a bit older or more trafficked so it wasn't as nice as Bishop Farm. I like that they have bamboo straws but they are a fail. They cracked as I tried to suck up the boba. Maybe you need to let the straw sit in the drink for a while so the bamboo isn't brittle????? We got their seasonal mixes so this review won't be as helpful. Seasonal is nice, because that means the menu is always changing. That also means the Yelp menu pictures are unreliable. I ordered some green drink with yuzu which was all sour and I didn't like it. My mom got mango matcha. The mango was overpowered by the matcha. The ube with jackfruit and coconut for my dad. He liked it best of the three but he personally would rather have something more simple. So maybe the ube latte which is part of the regular menu would have been better. Going back, we noticed several cars recklessly speeding at the blind curves in the parking garage without concern for pedestrians. And because the garage is so narrow, there is a higher curve:straight portions of the garage than most other mall garages. I do not recommend parking here if you have kids. Some pedestrians were also too trusting of cars and attempted to cross without looking to see if there were cars. But there are gates at the entrance and exit of the garage for crossing pedestrians. Pros: This boba join offers unique flavors, is not as artificial-tasting, and attempts to be more green m/environmentally conscious. Boba Guys is located in a lively shopping center and is conveniently located next to the parking garage. Cons: The drinks were not outstanding regardless of price. I don't have much interest in returning with so many boba options. I didn't like the non-functional bamboo straws, the seating area was dirty, and I didn't like the parking garage.

The staff was pleasant and welcoming. There was plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The drinks were enjoyable, although they were a bit expensive.
