Boba Bliss

Boba Bliss was started by two sisters who built the shop around a shared, long-standing interest in boba tea and coffee, and it now runs four locations across California - Dublin, Mountain View, Castro Valley and San Jose - with the Dublin shop at 8945 San Ramon Road among the original outposts. The drinks menu leans on ingredient sourcing as its main pitch: organic loose-leaf teas, Stumptown coffee beans, organic golden cane sugar, seasonal fresh fruit and organic milk, with Califia oat milk as the dairy-free option, and an explicit avoidance of artificial powders, syrups and high-fructose corn syrup that many boba shops rely on for speed and shelf life. The menu spans classic milk teas, matcha lattes, specialty fruit drinks and Stumptown coffee drinks side by side, letting the shop serve both the boba-tea and coffee-shop crowd from one counter. Beyond retail, Boba Bliss caters corporate events, with a client list that includes Workday, Coinbase, Yahoo and Google, and takes orders through its own app as well as Square. For a category where cheap syrup bases and powdered mixes are the norm, the shop's identity rests specifically on using traceable, whole ingredients across four stores rather than one flagship location alone.
