Teabo Café

Our go-to boba shop. Have been here at least 30 times in the last couple years. Always friendly, consistent service, great customizability. Plenty of tables inside and a couple outside. Limited but tasty food options.

Been going to teabo for like 9 or 10 years now and its always great to swing by whenever I’m hungry

I got a delicious Thai tea. I also tried there popcorn chicken good but needs sauce it can be try tasting

The star jelly looks so cute in the milk tea. The milk tea is not fancy but tasty. And the fried mushrooms are very good as well.

The milk tea with boba we ordered was ready in 2 minutes! Very efficient team that makes delicious drinks (and food). We love their popcorn chicken and Thai fries!

Great place for boba with your ideal customizable flavors, so I come here often

I believe they are Davis's premier Boba Shop. Fun atmosphere.

I have been coming here for YEARS and it is hands down the BEST milk tea shop in Davis. Forget the "trendiest" places, this place backs it up with the smoothest milk teas, no powder or odd flavors here just high quality flavors and teas along with several add ins. If you love fruit flavors especially they have tons but their others are just as addictive like Taro, Lavender, Honey, etc. They also have THE BEST orange chicken I have ever had in Davis. No idea why, it still blows my mind but their food is also killer. A must try in Davis and superior quality for the price compared to any other Boba tea shop.

Fair warning DO NOT GET THR GARLIC FRIES ON A FIRST DATE. I incorrectly assumed they'd be like other garlic fries, with some garlic powder seasoning sprinkled on. Nope! A bunch of straight up chopped garlic all over. Interesting but was a bit too strong and obviously will affect your breath and odor. Otherwise we were seriously impressed with the portion sizes of the food. Most other places like Ding Tea will fill up a lot of the container room with wrappers and stuff. Teabo topped up each box we ordered. We didn't know and ended up having a ton of left overs which was still good the next day. I liked that it was the rare location where you could combine flavors. I love my chocolate and taro mix. Be warned though, the almond flavor is a bit strong and ended up making one of our drinks taste more like medicine. Late hours was really convenient and staff was friendly and helpful.

Solid boba and snack options in South Davis! This hip boba stop has unique flavor combinations for teas and slushes, savory snacks, and constant k-pop and c-pop videos. My favorite drinks here are the chocolate taro milk tea and honey green milk tea. The boba here is sweet and consistently good. They also have star jellies that remind me of the jewels Hamtaro the hamster used to treasure. Lots of customization options and different seasonal milk tea flavors to satisfy the boba lover. The ingredients aren't super fresh and usually powder, but the drinks are still tasty and they'll even remake it for you if you aren't satisfied. The popcorn chicken here is some of the best I've had with good seasoning, herbs, and not too thick bread-skin. The orange chicken is also good. My only complaint about food is that the kitchen sometimes takes a while, expect a 10 minute minimum wait for any food. Teabo also does fundrasiers to support student groups! Overall a great Davis business and a good place to grab boba in cowtown.

I think this place is one of the best in town. All of their options are amazing. My personal favorite is the honey lavender milk black tea. I have tried many of their options and hardly had any issues with taste or sweetness. Overall, a really strong business.

I give this place 4 stars because it's nowhere near the best boba place, but it will scratch your itch. Id give it a 3.5 really. Want really good boba? Choose Mandro, T4, even Akira tea. Ive been to almost all boba places in davis. But,, I go here regularly because its the most convenient.. The chicken is also super good and they are fast, and at least before covid they're open late. Great spot to hang or bring a group of buddies late night for some chill time.

ordered the chicken katsu with rice, sweet chili sauce, spicy ranch sauce and a peach passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly. price for the amount of food was really excellent! food wasn’t exceptional but it was yummy and filling. ordering was easy and the food came out quick & fresh. bubble tea came out great too.

I went here ordered chicken Katsu, fries, and a Pina Colada drink /w mango stars. Katsu was crispy and seasoned well. The fries were good but loaded with garlic and the drink was refreshing. Service was good. The shop has a nice atmosphere music on the TV (K-Pop). I will be going again!

The person who made me tea was taking a bunch of time to put out an enormous stack of cups after I ordered; so it took a bit longer than expected to get them to make the boba tea, I even had to ask them to start... however, this spot has the most selections you could ask for in flavour. I forgave them for how good my selection came out though. Bomb slushie boba.❤️

Tried this place for the first time today. I had a Thai tea which was delicious. I was feeling adventurous so I ordered the Thai fries which the server said were very popular. They are... how should I put this politely... gross. It is thin fries with an overly sweet and cayenne peppery hot cream sauce on them. It is a Thai food experiment gone wrong!!!! Normally I am a waste not want not kind of person but I do not think I will be able to eat any more of these fries. The server was nice and the atmosphere is good though.

When I went on Sunday in the afternoon, the kitchen was not open. Before coming, you might want to call ahead and ask if they're serving food. Note that they are not open for dining-in, only for take-out. I ordered one of the recommended drinks, the Chotaro (black milk tea, boba with taro) and it was quite enjoyable. The taro flavor came through and the boba was just the right amount of chewy. However, I would recommend drinking it before the ice melts as it became rather diluted afterward. I will likely be back to try their popcorn chicken and fries but, based on the boba tea alone, I'm not sure if it's worth a trip to Teabo especially if the kitchen is closed. I may update my review if I do return.

Their popcorn chicken is really good and so is the spicy ranch straight up 5 ⭐️ my only issue with them is that every single time I place a doordash order they always mess it up somehow. Either we get the bits that are small and super crunchy with little to no meat (hence bits) or for the spicy ranch we either do get it but not all of the quantity ordered or none. The only time the order was right was when we called the store the second we placed the order and told them to make sure they don’t forget the spicy ranch in our order. I shouldn’t have to call to ask for my order to be made correct.

Drink are ok, nothing special but also not bad. Service is not good, seems like I am bothering them when I place an order, and it's pretty obvious the employees would rather be playing on their phones than actual helping with customer. It's definitely not service with a smile. The food is GROSS! It takes a long time for them to prepare it and it tastes how it looks, which is nasty. It made my stomach upset and I felt bad for an entire day. The only plus is that they are open late and that the drinks are better than the food and service. I would only go here for the drinks and only as a last resort if all the other boba places were closed.

Tried this place a few weeks ago and only because our usual boba place nearby had closed. Teabo was unfortunately like a sad approximation of most boba drinks we had enjoyed elsewhere. The blended chotaro was moderately ok, but it was not explained well as to what it was, being chocolate and taro, or that it was blended. Our other milk tea drinks with boba were not strong tea flavor, or all that creamy, or hardly sweet at all. Kinda like thin milky water with some boba swimming around. I doubt we will be back. Both milk drinks went into the trash after a few sips, and I gave up my chotaro drink to my son because he was so disappointed with his order.

Got my order wrong twice... Asked for black tea with yogurt and boba. Forgot the yogurt the first time. Then on the remake forgot the yogurt again but replaced the boba with popping yogurt boba. Similar recent reviews show this has been a trend. The mistake could have been avoided if they weren't perpetually understaffed.

The tea itself was great but when I brought in my personal cup from home my tea was made in a plastic cup and then poured into my reusable one. I won’t be returning until some effort is made to improve sustainability - which is a huge bummer considering how good the tea is!

I gave this place a second chance because it’s open after 10pm. The first time I came here, I ordered fries and they were awful. It tasted like they never changed the oil. My most recent trip wasn’t any better. I ordered some garlic fries (absolutely disappointed), fried mushroom, and a Thai tea. I can only recommend the drink and nothing more. You have to make sure they give you the correct order (with the extras you paid for).

Visit my friends in Davis once in a while, so I came here twice in a year at least. But this time, the tea is so bad that I have leave comment on it. The drink is awful, I ordered pure black tea with boba. The tea tasted like astringency. But it is not like the tea base used to make Hong Kong style. It just like the tea was brewed like days ago. Anyway, disappointed at the tea. Maybe it’s a real business strategy to ask you add flavor into the tea cuz the tea itself is like dying. But, boba is still good as a topping. I like the popcorn chicken here.

The flavor tea still has tea flavor which was great. The popcorn chicken was terrible. It was spicy but yet some how flavorless. The popcorn chicken was mostly breading instead of pieces of chicken. If you are going to order online they don’t seem to send an update when your order is ready. You need to go there and check.

I like their jasmine milk tea even though is made with creamer but the taste was good. The price was a little high for the drink. Really not a fan of the popcorn chicken, they tasted like chicken breast but dry and not too much flavor. Won’t recommend this location for Davis boba

The orange chicken with rice is good. However, the pop corn chicken was terrible. Perfect on the surface but UGLY inside!!! They filled the box with about 50% of fried flour. I felt soooo sad and angry about it. :((((( Used to like Teabo.

Drinks mega ass. But a very nice place that stays open late with good vibes. Slushes were ok. Drinks are also super cheap which is a small price of admission for good fun friend 1am times. :D

I'm a little torn on leaving this review. We came here many times and overall have had a good experience. However, today was a different story. I had to ask them to remake 3 drinks. The girl who was making them was rushing because she was by herself at first until a gentlemen came to the cash register. This place is way to busy to have only one person making drinks. They need at least 2 people making drinks, one person on register. I'm disappointed by my service today.

Straight up horrible. The Boba was so over cooked it became jelly. The texture was the same as grass jelly. Their tea taste like water and they don't even have branded cups. This place is very sad. Nothing about this milk tea store is good or stands out. Its the typical bad milk tea place that people only go to because they live next to it. Their food is alright, not bad if you want some quick bites. Don't get the drinks here just stick with the food, every time I or anyone I go with get a drink they regretted it. Seriously don't know why I torture myself and get a drink sometimes when I come for food.

Don't do it. Girl is reading directions on how to make a Thai tea with boba.

My sister and I had a bad experience at this boba tea place. First off we came in and the person taking our order was really impolite. We ordered garlic fries and they looked dry, wilted, as if they had been sitting out for a while. The fries tasted terribly. As we were about to leave we noticed the kitchen floors looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned in a while. When we got home we both felt sick to our stomachs and I then puked up the fries. I don’t recommend coming to this boba tea place.

this is the last time I am going here. Every time I go they never blend it good there’s still ice chunks in it you need to tell them extra blended. Also I just went now and the boba tasted like chemicals like it was raw very gross taste.

24 mins for a order of pop corn chicken. Then after the wait, charged me $1.00 for ranch. Wow...Customer Service was terrible. Will not go again or recommend this place. Go down town davis Boba Cafe. Way better

I ordered Orange mushroom and a lemonade and i only received the food I didn’t get the drink

EXTREMELY SLOW. listen i’m a patient person but waiting 10-20 minutes for a drink or two is so ridiculous. and this is not just a one time experience, every time i come here they are outrageously slow. i get my sandwich at mr. pickles or my food order from dos coyotes quicker than one or two drinks here. please change something.

Definitely very disappointed. This place used to be my favorite tea place. Definitely not anymore. They just over priced their tea and their chicken . The chicken taste like it's just been refried over and over again that its hard , and they're charging for sauces they used to give as part of a chicken order. The owners are Definitely squeezing every penny they can get out of their food and employees . Very friendly Staff , but Definitely short staffed. Drinks take like 15- 20 mins to make because usually its only 1 person doing the work.

Never again, teabo used to be good but now you get charge for the spicy ranch sauce .50$ and they don’t even fill the container all the way up. The portion are way to small. Very disappointed.

I highly recommend other boba places for Davis boba, the food orders take forever, that’s why they close at 2am because you will be here for hours waiting for your food

My main issue is that on multiple occasions buying the flavored iced tea it’s been WAYY too strong, like an undiluted tea concentrate or something. Not every time but enough times that I’m not sure whether I’m gonna have a good or negative experience. The green tea is often way oversteeped/bitter and the black iced tea is literally dark/cloudy, can’t even see through it like a typical iced tea. It’s so strong and bitter sometimes that it gives me an intense stomach ache :/
