Hay Tea: Boba, Ramen, and More in San Leandro, CA

I've recently tapped back into my boba era, and i am not disappointed. I usually go for the teas, milk teas, but I've ventured out to the sweet stuff. Taro. I was never a fan but, my taste buds have grown on me and i am loving it here are haytea. Also so happy that it's not far from home. Came in on New Year's Day , maybe right after they opened and it was quiet. So drinks were ordered and received in just a few minutes which is great. I always get my drinks 100% sugar bc if I'm treating myself, I'm TREATING myself. I usually always have something to say about boba, but i thoroughly enjoyed it this time and i will be coming back!

Came here on a Thursday evening and it wasn't busy. I ordered the strawberry Yakult drink with boba and it was about $7.25. It came out in less than 5 minutes and was perfectly sweet. They also included real fruit pieces which I like. The boba wasn't as sweet as I would've wanted as there was no honey coating on it but the texture was perfectly chewy. I would come back again to try some other drinks!

One of my go to spots for Mango pomelo sago drink. Not many places get this right but this place has been consistent and good every time. Haven't had a need to try any other drinks yet. Will be back again for the same drink.

Clean and bright interior with quick service. Was nearby and stopped to get a taro milk tea, which contains some cooked pieces of taro $5.50. Added boba for $0.75. With 30% sweetness. Drink was good and refreshing. The taro pieces were soft enough to be imbibed through the boba straw. There's a membership special of buy 9 drinks and get 1 free, as well as a $10 discount if you download and use their app (there's a poster in the window with the QR code to download their app).

Got a Pink Lady Peach Green Tea SC (75% sugar) and a Signature Fruit Fusion Green Tea. Pink Lady was delicious even though some of the ice wasn't fully blended. Love that it comes with agar boba AND salted cheese for no additional cost. Huge value! Got 75% sweetness which was perfect for me. Signature fruit fusion green tea will be a skip next time. Literally a bunch of cut up fruits in a cup with some green tea poured over. You pay for the fruits more than the drink. Interested in coming back for one of their weekly specials next time! Food and rink for less than $15 :D

Trying out this boba spot for the first time and I enjoyed their peach green tea with salted cheese drink. I ordered it with 50% sweetness and it was just the right amount of sweetness for me. I also got the popcorn chicken which was good (very crunchy and the chicken pieces were nice and tender) but in my opinion it just needed a tad bit more white pepper seasoning on top.

After giving a bad review I have been coming back here more often because of my Son. He loves this place no matter what so I had no choice but to visit this place. Calamari is one of his favorite "it tasted so good mum" every time. I kind of get tired hearing him saying that. I MAKE SURE I COME EARLY so they can fry my order and won't leave disappointed like before. Boba is always good I never had any complaints about their boba. They are worth it.

Unique drinks and toppings. I tried the dragon milk tea with barley and purple rice pearls. The drink has strong tea flavor and the sweetness % matches. The pearls have a nice chewy texture and go well with the milk tea. I like the size of the drink and that there's 2 size options. Stuff was nice and service was fast. Will definitely come back and try their other menu items.
