Bubble Tea Sharetime Matcha milk tea with boba: This compact bubble tea shop on Shattuck in Berkeley, CA is best suited for ordering bubble tea to-go. Its proximity to my apartment, as well as its consistently good quality boba and drinks, have made it my go-to bubble tea cafe, particularly when it comes to milk tea (for fruit teas, Asha still wins). As far as Berkeley goes, the milk teas at Sharetime are better than UCha, Purple Kow, and Sweetheart Cafe, mostly because they aren't too sweet and taste more like tea than milk. On my last visit, the matcha milk tea at 25% sweetness was well balanced - easily identifiable as matcha, with a slightly bitter flavor and pleasantly chewy boba that isn't overly soft. There isn't anything here that will blow you away per se, but it's still satisfyingly classic. 3.5/5.0
