    Just as good as the Sweetheart in Chinatown SF. Get a mango smoothie with sago...always hits the spot. Plus, it's a special treat since most boba places don't have sago!!

    Try the fresh mango bubble tea! It’s hard to find a bubble tea shop that makes smoothies with real fruit. Sweetheart Cafe does, and their smoothies are light, refreshing and incomparable. - Alexa

    Love the regular bubble tea. This place is open late, so it's perfect for some late night study sustenance.

    The milk tea (liquid) is quite good, but the boba (tapioca pearls) are amazing.

    Good for cheap boba and popcorn chicken, but definitely not the best quality tea if that's what you're looking for.

    The popcorn chicken is actually amazing here. The boba is only mediocre.

    They don't have Mango Bubble Tea... They only have mango smoothie or mango milk tea!

    Worst boba in Berkeley if you really must have cheap boba go to Tea Press instead. Theirs is way better.
