Loved Purple Kow and was super excited to find one close to campus Food/Taste/Flavor: 1/5 - D3: purple Kow Iced Milk Drinks with caramel, pudding, and boba at 25% sweetness and less ice. The boba texture was awful. It is way overcooked and falling apart but so sticky. The caramel didn't seem like it was cooked long enough or they used a cheap quality one as it doesn't have the typical buttery/creamy undertone that other shops have. Ambience: 3/5 - small shop but there is an upstairs for seating. A really artificial sweet smell in the air Service: 3/5 - slight language barrier and the cashier didn't seem very knowledgeable about their products Value for price: 1/5 - They charge an extra dollar for no ice! They didn't say anything and I only caught it since it was more expensive than expected. The drink was disappointing

The Milk drink and chicken is always the best!!!!!!!!!!!! So I have eaten T-4, quickly and some other places pop corn chicken, this chicken is really the best and ever. They give out big chicken and also with less flower around. Also their milk drink, I believe is always at the D section and these drink are so good, definitely addictive to them. I always get pudding with milk and less ice, and always my favorite.

Great boba place, there cups are massive for some reason and the flavors and boba are average, but overall its a great place for boba. Its kinda like the mc donalds for boba because of how comerical it is and how the food is less original and good than other places, but you find yourself constantly returning. If you want a quik boba and some food this never disapoints.

Being a fan of Bubble Tea, I`m always on the lookout for the most authentic Boba tea experience. My friend was raving about this place and I had to check it out. Firstly, the options are endless and you can choose as many toppings as you like. I had the organic black tea with glass jelly and lychee. I was taken aback by the huge portion. So, please ask before ordering. The taste was amazing and was perfect as my post-dinner dessert. Will definitely be back to try out other drinks.

I like purple kow and they are the perfect distance from UCB. It’s nice to go there and chill out. They have tasty boba and lots of options. And there’s good bagels a couple shops down. Also, a couple blocks down some great sushiritos

The popcorn chicken was spot on delicuous and great size. No sauce needed. My reason of a low score is because I got 4 drinks here E1, F2, F5, and Purple cow milk tea with pudding. All of them were not bad (but also stating not good). One had so many toppings in it that I reall felt like that is what it was for. Other than having giant drink cups. What is the point of having a big drink if it does not taste good.

Been here a couple times and the popcorn chicken is pretty good. Boba is alright but nothing too special. Would like a more rich flavor if anything. Would probably come back though. Nice area with other good places nearby as well.

Got the milk tea boba and it was delicious. Place was very friendly besides some man that tried to use the bathroom without buying anything. The worker was able to fill out my order while this man was arguing. Other than that 5 star boba place! Totally recommend if you have a late night boba craving.
