About Golden Tea Shop
Located at 901 Franklin St #128, Oakland, CA 94607, Golden Tea Shop operates as a tea house serving Oakland in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Google also lists it under bubble tea store, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.
Tea in the United States covers everything from a traditional Chinese or Japanese tea house to a Southern sweet-tea counter, and the fastest-growing segment is bubble tea: Taiwanese-style milk teas and fruit teas with tapioca pearls, sold by chains and independents alike with adjustable sugar and ice levels. Tea rooms serving afternoon tea with scones and sandwiches usually require a reservation, while boba shops, juice bars and smoothie shops are walk-in and quick. Kava and kombucha bars are a newer category, and loose-leaf tea stores sell blends, teaware and gifts, often with a tasting counter. Prices for a drink run similar to coffee-shop prices, with premium teas and cold-pressed juices at the high end.
The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. The most common schedule is 11 am–6 pm. It is closed on Monday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Oakland is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. Getting around Oakland is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across California's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Fun tea place in Oakland, I love their Taiyaki and fish curry balls. I walked to the Plaza down the street to sit by the fountain and enjoy my snack.

The tea shop and boba shop are separate. I don’t think they use the fresh tea leaves for their drinks bc it doesn’t taste like it. The drinks were overly sweet even though I put 50% sweetness but still good. The boba pearls were perfectly bouncy. Also cheaper than most other boba shops in Oakland.

Pleasantly surprised stopping by here! Nourishing teas (called scented tea) has over 10 options of lightly herbal and floral teas, majority are non caffeine and dairy free which I love! Got the option 1 tonic tea wjth chrysanthemum, goji and lots of herbs and it’s delicious, not over brewed and just sweet enough at 25%! Very affordable too, I’ll definitely be back.

Golden Tea Shop is so so good! I have recommended this place to my family and friends and they always want to come back! It may not be the fanciest boba shop, but it is truly an underrated one. I’ve tried several boba shops in the Bay Area and this one has really good teas and toppings that are more niche (peach gum, tea jelly, etc). My personal favorite is the peach gum milk tea with black tea. It is so creamy with a nice tea taste, and I love the toppings it comes with. The price is great and the cup is a good size. Disclaimer: drinks take time to prepare bc it’s family owned so be patient. Give it a try, it’s great!

I’ve definitely been gatekeeping this place for too long and i want it to do well so here goes my review! BEST BOBA /TEA IN OAKLAND! You know the tea is good when it literally has a tea leaf shop. All the drinks are made with the same tea leaves from the tea shop which makes this place so special. Prices are still reasonable (but even if they raise it I won’t be mad). I usually get their dragonwell milk tea and finally ventured into a pineapple fruit tea and it was just as delightful. Menu is massive but I doubt you can go wrong with anything. They also serve cute Hong Kong style street snacks like curry fishballs and fish siu mai as well as rice noodle rolls in sauce. I got a drink, noodles and siu mai today and it was $18 with tip. Cannot praise this place enough! The only somewhat downside is that it can take a while for your drink to be made but I like to believe it’s because they brew each drink with fresh tea leaves, none of that instant powder or pre brewed large batch of tea!
