The Sweet Booth - Oakland


  • location:
    • Chinatown, Oakland
  • price range:
    • $2.50-$3.75 (teas)
    • $2.50-$4.25 (juice/snows/slushes/specialty drinks)
  • boba "chewy-ness" quality:
    • 4 out of 5 <- the boba here was pretty chewy AND a tad bit sweet
  • milk vs. tea:
    • more tea/less milky <- you can definitely taste the tea, but the drink itself is still rather sweet
  • overall service quality:
    • 3.5 out of 5 <- the name says it all. the store is the size of a medium sized booth/shack. Again, only two workers max; but the quality of the milk tea was quite nice. My only worry would be the cleanliness issue, since it's an indoor shack.
  • what's so special about this place?
    • you can have boba with almost ANY DRINK (see menu below). i had no idea you could get boba with sodas and OVALTINE!!!!
    • recommended drinks/specialties: I dare any of you to try a soda-based boba drink or the OVALTINE boba drink. wonder how those would taste?! 0.o
