"I am a lifelong fan of bubble tea, so I’ve had my fair share of experiences with these from various cities that I’ve lived in in my life. This place has hands-down by far the worst bubble tea I have had in my entire life. I went here with my niece yesterday- we both ordered Jasmine green tea with bubbles, and when we started drinking them in the car, we both agree that they were both extremely bland and unsweet. I got mine with 50% sweetness, and it tasted like there was no sugar at all in it, and my niece got 100% sweetness, and she said that it tasted like it had no sugar as well. There was absolutely no flavor either of the supposed tea that was in these drinks. All either of us could taste was the milk. Additionally, I got almond milk put in mine, which I should add is an extra dollar charge to switch from the default they add which is powder milk. That is just absurd.. May I add that these drinks were hefty as far as the cost. It was about $16 for two of these drinks, including tip, which I severely regretted giving later. These people do not deserve your money!!! They are a scam! I seriously hope that they go out of business and I don’t say that lightly. There are so many bubble tea places in the Bay Area to choose from, so there’s no need to go to one that is so bad and overpriced. I guess the icing on the cake is that the people that work there aren’t very friendly. AVOID at all costs!"

"drinks are always good and it’s never a hit or miss. i always get the same thing but it’s always good or better than the last time never a one hit wonder! the sandwich i got which was the turkey avocado sandwich was okay. a lot of avocado and onion but little turkey. i’m sure you ask for your specific topping preferences that wouldn’t be a problem. found out about this place a couple weeks ago and have been a regular ever since. my new favorite boba place ever since the first time i came. highly recommend! (the boba in the picture is the devil zang zang, if you like boba and oreo and don’t know what to try definitely get that. it’s also the middle boba picture on the window.)"

"Very good place to grab a sandwich. I've only been here twice but the food is delicious and the service is great. Very friendly & they don't skimp on the toppings. The sandwiches are very filing & hearty. I've only ordered the Thai boba and the strawberry creme drinks both were yummy. Definitely recommend. They also have a stamp card to use. If you get 10 stamps you get a free drink. 😋"

"Genuinely terrible experience and a scam. I placed an order online, I got multiple confirmation messages about the order, one even saying the “order was confirmed by the merchant.” Once I arrived I had to get the owners attention because he was on his phone in the back. When he finally got off his phone and came to the counter he started aggressively giving me directions on how to order. I said I had an online order, but he claimed otherwise. I kept trying to show him proof of my order but he continued aggressively saying that he didn’t get an order. He didn’t care that I had already paid for the order either. At a certain point I was just fed up with his rude behavior, so I just left. Waste of money and time, do not come here, terrible service."

"We had something to do in El Cerrito and wanted to find a comfy place to sit and had snack and drinks. We found Tala on the map and wanted to give it a try. We had salami sandwich, cinnamon toast, banana strawberry smoothie and oolong iced tea. Everything was good! We liked their food menu and a drink list. There were many people in there sitting using their devices because it had free WiFi. The service was great also. And they have a reward card. You'll get a free drink when you get 10 stamps. We'll be back!"
