Honeyboba

They abruptly discontinued the stamp card system, which I found out as I’m at 8 stamps. They cited the reasons as minimum wage increase and cards getting stolen. Honestly it shouldn’t cause that much of a difference to offer your customers a small perk for being loyal. One free drink every ten costs them almost nothing when taking into account the profit. If cards get stolen, which I see as just an excuse, why not switch to an electronic system? No one likes it when a store becomes so stingy. They just purposely ended an incentive for people to come back and I probably won’t be doing so in the near future.

The drinks are amazing I’ve tried a variety since they’ve been open and haven’t been disappointed. However, I was pretty bummed to find out they no lover have the stamp card incentive. They still honored them if you had one but I had to give my card away because I didn’t have enough stamps to get a free one.

Very unpredictable boba place where I’ve gotten more disappointing boba than ones I actually enjoyed. Due to limited boba options in this part of the South Bay, I gave it more trys than I would have, if I had other options, but I had my last straw on my recent visit here for none other than the most basic drink — milk tea.
I’ve been to this location and have gotten variety of drinks from unsweetened oolong tea, sweet slush, milk tea and others and it’s always a hit or miss, hence very inconsistent.
On the last visit of milk tea, it was so bad that I literally wanted to throw it away as soon as I took the first sip. I saw the guy making the drink and apparently he didn’t make enough so he poked a hole and remade it but it was all milk, like literally 80% milk and 20% milk-​tea like flavor of black tea, totally unsweetened and bitter… I should have tasted it as soon as I received it but I have gotten their milk tea before and it was okay so I just jumped into my car that day… which was the last day I am ever visiting.
Easy parking.
Usually a long wait for the drink even when the wait to order wasn’t long enough.
Make sure to get their stamp card if you actually enjoy their boba.

Love the chocolate milk tea here and their boba but the line is always long.
Oh, and so sad that they stopped the stamp card program where you’d get a free boba after buying so many boba drinks

Regular size (big enough to replace an actual meal, IMO) lychee smoothie with red bean, boba, and taro pudding (toppings are an extra 49 cents each) for only $ 5.25?! Happy wallet, happy jenny!
Can be easily missed but it’s the small plaza on the right side, not the left!
Inside is really nice and clean. No food though :(But that’s okay cause their drinks alone is pretty filling.
Yay, my new snack spot.

I don’t order my boba drinks with boba at normal boba places because the tapioca is a bit starchy and a hit or miss. Honeyboba soaks their tapioca in sweet (honey?) sugar water and the past 2 times I’ve been here has been swell. We ordered the original milky Honeyboba + pudding and most drinks go for $ 3.75 a pop which is a little steep to me. However, the drink is huge. Being a slow drinker, I could have shared this with somebody else.
The ambience inside is a cool environment to study and hang out in. Sometimes they bump up the music so it’ll make it harder to chat. I love the colorful walls and décor but if you plan to stay here, bring a jacket cause it gets chilly inside!
Private lot for parking and free wifi :)

If I could, I’d give this Honeyboba 3.5 stars. When I first tried this boba spot, I was all over it! I always had the best customer service from Alyssa but I recently went back and found out she doesn’t work there anymore. Other workers are A-​OK. Speed is OK as well. They need to improve on having a sense of urgency. I’ve had to wait in front of the counter waiting for the employees to finish their side conversations.
The flavored teas are a HIT OR MISS. I’m such a big fan of GUAVA TEA but HB disappoints when it comes to this drink. The whole drink doesn’t work. IDK what it is about it. I had the almond milk tea from here as well but that’s another drink that didn’t work for me. Cha for Tea definitely got the ALMOND MILK TEA in the bag! HANDS DOWN. But these bad drinks didn’t turn me off right away. Alyssa highly recommended the Molasses Milk Tea with HONEY BOBA and I LIKE IT A LOT! My second fave would have to be the Honey Green Milk Tea. I’m not crazy about a lot of toppings in my drink but sometimes I get the egg pudding and caramel added in my drink.
PARKING SITUATION: It’s located in the rear and a gated parking lot for sure. Heads up, the sidewalk is awkwardly elevated. I enjoy hearing cars scrape on the sidewalk from speeding to go in or just because they have a low car! LMAO! Be aware.
RESTROOMS: The mens and womens are separated. It’s fairly clean but when a bunch of kids hang out here, there’s a line.
AMBIANCE: It’s nicely decorated but they play the music really loud. It’s hard to even get a conversation going inside without yelling at each other. I’m one to be in and out of here when my drinks are made.

They are well know for their milk slushy drink and their honey boba. The boba is slightly sweeter and you can taste the honey even when it mixes in with your drink. Also the cups are huge.
That one drink is innovative but other than that it is your standard boba café. I do like the distinct taste of the honey but I am not a huge fan of boba and would not go out of my way for it. Delicious nonetheless!

Quality has not been as good lately. Maybe they thought cold weather means less people coming in for boba?
Anyhow I stopped by yesterday and the lady at the counter could not get my order right (and I usually never have that problem). I repeated myself twice and slowly so she could hear that I wanted my drinks with boba, 25% sweetness and no ice. When I got my drinks, one had ice and one didn’t. I saw that they had added ice to my other drink too but later took it out. I don’t think it’s asking for too much to get my order right no? What she could have done (and that’s what usually happens when I come here) is repeat my order back to me to make sure she got it correctly. No one wants an unhappy customer.
The boba consistency was not good this time. Most of the boba was hard, almost like a rock and not soft and chewy. Not sure if this was an old batch or just one not made very well. Quite disappointing as it’s usually not this way.
Overall I think they could improve on their system. The line got really long and after taking a couple orders, the person working the counter would shift over and help make some drinks while letting the line build up. Perhaps it would be better if they would just take all the orders first before shifting over to help with the drink orders. I mean, there are two other workers making drinks already and taking drink orders should be fairly quick. Just my two cents.

**This review is solely on service**
With a million boba places out there, this one has become a go-​to since their boba is consistently good. The texture is spot on and while I’ve had my fair share of crunchy, undercooked boba, this one ranks somewhat high in my book. Beside the fact that I only order jasmine green tea 50% sweet each and every time It never disappoints, and I turn in a creature of habit whenever I step into this place.
The interiors are fun with bar hight bench seating against the wall, and a narrow hallway towards the back that leads into a small communal seating area. Bright pops of color accentuated by backlit colored panel strips within the POS, stainless steel, and REALLY LOUD BLARING MUSIC!!! Call me old, but it’s a bit excessive when I have to yell my order to the barista? and then intently wait for my named to be called over ABBA.
Atmosphere aside, I’m a strong believer in quality customer service. Whether you’re selling me a $ 10 shirt or $ 1000 Laptop, it’s the simple smile, gesture, or ‘thank you’ that either makes me feel good about my experience or make me strongly dislike the establishment and you.
Never have I had such a bad experience in the years coming here and it definitely left a sour taste in my mouth. While we did come on a busy Sunday, which I get can be stressful, but the girl handing me and my family our large drink order was not only rude, but lacked any fundamental human interaction skills whatsoever.
We found that one drink had no boba, so we turned around so I could bring it back in and have them make the order right. I waited for the customers in front of me to grab their order and once she was free I approached her with the drink and receipt.
I stated my case and handed her the receipt. Without missing a beat she was quick to tell me that I was wrong, and when I attempted to point to the receipt in her hand, she tightened her grip, proceeded to throw the receipt on the table and finally made the quick fix of adding the boba to a new cup and throwing the old drink into it.
A 30 second fix, with a 5 minute run around?
Once that was done and fixed, she grudgingly tossed it onto the table. Not a word or any eye contact, nothing.
While I was trying to be empathetic to the large crowd and numerous orders she had, I didn’t appreciate the manner in which she handled such a small situation.
That said, it also came to my attention after telling my family about this incident she also had major attitude towards my sister when she accidentally grabbed the wrong drink.
While I didn’t get her name, and I don’t want to be THAT person, overall, honey boba has a really good product just extremely bad service. Maybe a quick sit down conversation about customer service with your staff is needed.

For someone who is currently living in the east coast, I though this place was quite good. Has a variety selection of flavors. You can choose how much sugar you will add (¼ of regular portion did it for me). Also they have several options for add ons other than regular boba. I added lychee jelly which was very good. Oh and the portion is humongous.
I didn’t think the table arrangement was the best for chatting with friends, etc, but not a bad option around the area.

Super cute boba place! Honeyboba has made a real effort to make their décor and atmosphere modern and chic (as far as boba joints go!). My favorite drink is the winter melon milk tea with boba. The boba is cooked in honey so it has a thicker texture and nice sweetness. The winter melon flavor tastes almost like the honey crisp cereal, which is a nice throwback to eating cereal as a kid!
The drinks are definitely on the sweet side, so I usually order them with ½ or ¼ sugar. The drinks are also very large. They offer two sizes, regular and large, but it feels more like large and big gulp. I wish they offered a small or mini size as well. I will usually drink my tea over 2 or 3 days. The tea keeps quite well in the refrigerator over several days, but keep in mind that the actual tapioca does NOT make for good leftovers. In the future I will order the tea without boba and spend 2 – 3 days finishing the very large portion.

Consistently delicious and doesn’t disappoint. The milk teas w/​boba are really good. I have not been let down when visiting this location.
Ordered the vanilla-​caramel royal milk tea. Received it pretty fast. Wasn’t a lot of people there at the time. Customer service okay.
Shook up my tea… stabbed it with the big straw and took a sip of milk tea honey boba goodness!
So good…

Spacious, narrow spot good for kicking it with friends. Music is not obnoxiously loud, so you can carry a conversation here. Tables are high though.
The drinks have names with adjectives and I don’t know em but I usually get an almond milk tea, mango green tea, or the ice milk drink with boba and pudding and caramel. Honeydew slush is bomb. 100% of the time, the drinks are overly sweet. Ask for half sweet or 75% depending on what you like. Boba is very good, so that’s what brings me over here. The drinks aren’t so great, very artificial.

I have only enjoyed a few select drinks here, but from what I have had, I have enjoyed. I am not a huge fan of boba, itself, but I do get it from time to time in my drinks. I like all of the other choices that you can include in your drink, depending on what kind of drink you get. As add-​ons, you can get honey boba, egg pudding (which is awesome in the green tea smoothie!), taro pudding, coffee jelly, lychee jelly, grass jelly, red bean, rainbow jelly, and aloe vera. When I get the green tea smoothie, I have them add the egg pudding and just a little bit of boba. I have also had a few of their iced teas; the honey lemon and the blushing peach. With those, I have them add aloe vera to it. The problem with the teas is the sweetness… can’t seem to get it right and it also depends on the drink, because for some, you may need to add more sweetness, whereas with others, you can add less. They have a sweetness scale:
No Sweet 0%
Quarter Sweet 25%
Half Sweet 50%
Less Sweet 75%
Regular Sweet 100%
Extra Sweet 125%
I have to say that when I first got an iced tea, it was regular sweet and even that was WAY too sweet! I had to let it sit and let the ice melt, so that I could drink it. The next time that I came in, I remembered to change the sweetness and I did half… the drink was nasty, plain and simple. I still drank it, because I paid for it and because I figured less sugar was a good thing. So the next time, I got less sweet and it was better. Like I said before, it depends on the drink you get, if you’ll need more or less sweetness.
I am an iced tea lover, especially since I do not drink soda or juices. They have all kinds of infused iced teas to try, from Guava, Mango-​Tango and Mandarin Orange to Oahu Pineapple, Blueberry Sky, and Mint. They have an extensive list of milk teas, as well, from Jasmine Green Milk Tea, Red Sunset Thai Tea and Mountain Oolong Milk Tea to Caramel Coffee, Coconut Palm, Black Sesame, and Chocolate-​Almond MilkTea. They have ice crystal drinks, which I am not too familiar with, however, I do want to try the Strawberry Yogurt and the Tropical Summer. They also offer many smoothies, like a Mango, Strawberry and a Banana Smoothie to a Taro, Sesame, and Coconut Smoothie. I usually get the regular size drink, because it’s really big… not a regular cup size, but they do have a large size, too.
The Honeyboba locations that I have been in are all really nicely decorated and every time I step into one, I imagine something in there would look good in my house, like the chandeliers, for instance. It is always clean and they tend to work quickly to get your drinks out. They do have a frequent buyer card that you should take advantage of, because you get a free drink up to $ 3.29 after 9 drinks, I believe, but whatever toppings you add to your drink are extra.

Did you know… that Boba actually means BIG b00bs? What? Yessir. BIG ones!
So does that mean that Honeyboba means Honeyb00bs??? Hmm…
Thinking back to when I was ordering at this fine establishment, the conversation went a little like this…
cashier: may I help you?
me: yes, can I have a milk tea please?
cashier: would you like boobs with that?
me: what??? um… hmm… maybe? actually what is that?
cashier: round tapioca pearls in your drink.
me: oh… okay, sure. sounds like fun.
Of course my memory is a little iffy at times, but I’m pretty sure thats how it went down.
Anyways, the boobs here are amazing. Pretty consistent with good texture and flavor. Wife loves this place. She makes me go for a run like every day (exaggeration???). Not too many options in the area so this place gets my vote as the go-​to. The menu has like 20-​million things on there which is probably why there’s always a line. Too many choices. We normally just stick with our milk tea with boobs. Tried and true. Good and good. Done and done. Yums, I’m thirsty now.

My cousin took me here for the first time since this was her favorite place and couldn’t stop talking about it. The parking lot was very small so you may have trouble finding a parking spot if it was busy here. Be careful of bad drivers as well.
I ordered my usual, mango green tea with boba, and received it within 5 minutes. The employee that helped us out was pretty friendly. I would say that my boba tasted average.
The atmosphere here was pretty comfortable. You could tell that this is a great hangout place for younger people.
They have free Wi-​Fi!

I came here to study for a little bit with my siblings. It’s nice that there is a parking lot located in the back of the café. It’s pretty big so there shouldn’t be an issue trying to find parking! We came around 9pm and there weren’t that many people on a Sunday. We ordered a hot almond milk tea with pudding. Maybe because the almond milk was hot, the pudding melted. because it wasn’t as solid as the usual pudding. I also should have ordered it with half sugar because it was so sweet! The café itself isn’t a bad place to study since there was a back area that was isolated from the cashier. The music was a little too loud for my taste since usually I like the music to serve as background music rather than a club scene. I’ll probably come back since it’s close to where I live and I do love hot almond milk tea!

If you live in the south bay, and you’re itching for some boba Honeyboba is probably the best option. There are others in the area but it just can’t hold the chandle to the plethora of options Honeyboba offers. Although you really must come at the right time because if you don’t there’s a big chance you’ll be waiting a lot longer than you bargained for. The service here can be painfully slow even if the store itself isn’t that busy. Given this is really the best option in this area, I can’t complain too much.
If it’s your first time in Honeyboba or the whole boba experience, I highly suggest you go for favorite flavors such as their Almond Milk Tea or Jasmine Milk Tea but I really recommend the Wintermelon Milk tea because it is just delish!
If you’re not much of a sweet tooth, the drinks here get REALLY sweet, so if you want to tone down a little they give you an option to get 0/​25/​50/​75/​100/​125% sweetness. I personally like 75% because it’s sweet enough that it doesn’t seem too overwhelming.
If you’re reading this and it’s hot outside. Do yourself a favor and hit up this Honeyboba.

I think this is one of the best boba shops in the area! It is made perfectly to my liking, and the size to price comparison is really worth the price you’re paying for. The boba isn’t too chewy or old tasting either, it’s perfect. I ordered a oolong milk tea with pudding and boba and everything was just right! It tasted fresh and sweet! The milk tea wasn’t watered down or anything! The rest of my family didn’t have any complaints on their drinks either!
They also have great helping service! The place itself is a pretty decent size. They have enough chairs and tables for people to go chill and hang out after purchasing their drinks. It is also very nice put together. The décor is really cute. I like their chandeliers. And it’s bright pink inside. Kind of girly, but nice. There’s also free wifi! Who doesn’t like wifi?!
