Absolutely loved Sip & Savor! The popcorn chicken was crispy and flavorful, a 10 out of 10! I also tried the chicken fettuccine Alfredo, and it was rich, creamy, and perfectly cooked, another easy 10 out of 10! The boba was super refreshing with just the right level of sweetness, also a 10 out of 10. This place is a hidden gem. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth visiting.

If you’re in and around the Hayward and San Lorenzo area, this is another small business in the books, and y’all should TRY this place out! Thank you to several K-Pop hosts that I’ve known over the past few years for introducing me to this place -- not only are they Asian-owned, but they’re also K-Pop friendly as well! Noona Events had their GOT7 event last week here at this Sip & Savor, and from the moment I walked in, the aroma of pasta and the pungent smell of tea leaves and boba INSTANTLY caught my eye. Everything is made from natural — from Thai tea, to boba, to the delicacy of pastas the Asian or the traditional Italian way. I ended up caving into the Thai tea only because I had a REALLY strong sweet tooth this past week, and was also really hungry The storefront was really spacious, and it even had a backdrop where you could take pictures of yourself, with or without the signs and the picket fans. Everything within the shop was pretty clean — well maintained and hygienic as well. The staff was also VERY friendly, giving us the best recs as well as presenting to us the drinks that were present 

I’ll definitely be back for MORE events here, or even on regular visits — I hope this boba shop STAYS around for the long-term cuz we’re going to need them around so we can boost their business while celebrating our favorite boy or girl groups!

Yum! Got a snack while I studied at this spot on Saturday afternoon. We got the popcorn chicken and a mango lemon green tea 25%. Quite tasty!! The popcorn chicken mild had lots a flavor and didn’t need any sauce.

Great customer service and delicious drinks. Boba is soft. ❤️❤️ A lot of seats to hang out with friends and family.

Amazing food and drinks! Highly recommend the neopolitan pizza. The honey adds a nice sweetness to the savoury pizza. For drinks I recommend the okinawa brown sugar milk tea. The flavour is done very well and better than some specialised brown sugar chains!

I just tried their boba not too long ago and I love it! Especially their Taro Ube drink. Their cheese foam is a nice topping too

I saw that there was a grand opening of a Boba place nearby and went on in to check it out. Beautiful, clean atmosphere. 🙂‍↔️ The staff was really nice very helpful if you do not know how to order Boba. I have a dairy allergy so it’s a little bit harder for me to even get Boba (I didn’t get any food this visit). But the fruit tea they made (I got the peach rose Oolong tea, 75% sweetness, less ice) was relatively good. It wasn’t mind blowing, but it was not bad at all! Hopefully it keeps up cause it can be a very well liked boba shop in this area! 👌

My first impression walking in was how polite and welcoming the staff was. You can really tell they care about their customers. The place was super clean, the music was good and they even have free wifi for customers! I ordered the parmesan gnocchi pasta, mild popcorn chicken and the strawberry lemonade oolong tea. The pasta had a lot of sauce and was perfectly creamy. Since the portion was big, I got to take home my leftovers and have it lunch the next day! It paired really well with the popcorn chicken. And the strawberry lemonade oolong was the perfect drink to balance everything out I definitely recommend coming here to study or to hang out with friends!

Minus an entire star for the purpose of this being a boba shop and i dont recommend their honey boba!! It was not a bit sweet of honey- it was very tasteless and the was hard- i am so disappointed. They also charge a 3% credit card surcharge. Also $8 for a milk tea is criminal. Ordered jasmine milk tea $6.5 w lychee jelly $0.59 Milk tea $8 Honey boba $0.59 Jasmine green tea salt cheese $6 W lychee jelly $0.59 Strawberry matcha $7.5 Strawberry slush $7.75 Jelly $0.59 Total $44 They have a loyalty rewards. Every 100 points you get $10 off. Each dollar is 1 point so you have to spend $100 to get $10. Insane Drinks are decent. Id come back to try other drinks without boba and the food

definitely a mom and pop boba shop i'm willing to put in my boba spot rotation! workers there were super nice and even brought the drink to my table i was waiting at rather than calling my name/order number! i ordered their popcorn chicken and taro ube milk tea with reg boba, popcorn chicken worth the hype! chicken was very juicy and big pieces that also included the fried basil leaves. the crunchy factor was also great, a solid 8.75/10 would come here for the chicken tbh. the milk tea itself wasn't anything out of the park but semi-satisfied my craving of taro milk tea. my only complaint was since i came at an odd hour (around 1:30pm) the boba wasn't that fresh causing it to be hard and not that pleasant. i'm sure if someone were to go at opening hours or during busier hours the tapioca would've been fresher/softer, but did make me a little disappointed. overall 6.5/10 overall love that this place is very local to me and is near other food spots such as the cane's and in-n-out, would love to try their pasta some day!!

Jasmine sea salt tea was refreshing. In addition to boba shop offerings, they also have a rather sophisticated Italian food menu, which was very interesting. I am totally coming back and trying more in the future. Mom and pop vibes. Shopping center parking. Good service. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure.

Great Service. For a hot busy day. Service was fast and friendly. Good drink options. Okinawa brown sugar 3/5 compared to other boba place we have tried. Mangonada. 3.8/5 Their version of mangonada is not bad. I've had worse from an actual Mexican spot.

Asian Tea/Coffee Shop but with a unique food twist. Of course they're gonna have popcorn chicken and other fried snacks to go with all them colorful, often sweet drinks with all kinds of things floating about. But this unassuming tea shop also has some significant food offerings that you just don't run into at this level. I'd even say sit-down restaurant quality food, although there is nothing sit-down about their format, straight counter service/take-out spot. I've had about 3 different drinks here and all are about $7ish, which is standard these days for these bigger tall sealed cups. Nothing has wowed me but they are standard/suffice. I feel their drinks run on the sweet side and even at 50% has a big noticeable sweet tinge. I ordered a topping once, some lychee jelly and it made the drink much sweeter than the 50% requested. I think a few tablespoons of the syrup that the jelly sits in, got put in the cup, which if you're trying to curb the default sweetness already, kinda seemed like an 'oh well' transaction. Popcorn Chicken ($10/3.5*) Big hunks of marinated chicken thighs fried in this crisp Asian coating that almost seems like tiny balls of starch, much different than say just flour or bread crumbs. Very crisp when warm but if you let this get cold, it totally transform into something else. Those crisp pearls turn mushy and gummy when cool, which made me assume a mochi-like coating. Quite flavorful bites though, very well seasoned, even has a tinge of heat from some red pepper. The basil was just raw leaves, and I definitely prefer fried basil as it adds a nice cooked anise flavor versus raw leaves which remind you of a salad. Spaghetti Bolognese ($18/4*) I tried this in-house once and when it came out it looked like a sit-down restaurant version from the nice heavy plate-ware to the presentation of nicely twirled pasta in a very balanced portioning. Very rich though, like the sauce is cooked down and maybe even a pat of butter is added as I felt a dairy richness in the texture. Also made it more oily and when I was eating this, I didn't have a salad or vegetable dish with it, so it was just a bit too rich for me as is. I would definitely try this again but steam some veggies at home or make a nice fresh salad to go with. Pepperoni Pinza ($22/4*) They also have pinzas here with different toppings. A pinza is a 'Roman' style pizza. This may be my first try of one. It is a thinner crust that gets really crisp, almost cracker crispness on the initial layer but it does have some chewy bread traits. Their sauce is awesome super thick and tomato-y with big hits of oregano. When hot the hits of tangy/sweet sauce and floral hits of oregano are divine, that I just may go Margherita next time. The pepperoni was okay but made it very salty, which is a given, but it even seemed saltier than a conventional pizza like Mt. Mike's. Spaghetti Pomodoro ($16/3.5*) I ordered this for take-out once to bring to a casual lunch buffet. Their tomato sauce is quite thick almost closer to paste than it is to sauce for me. I just prefer a looser/juicy sauce. The sauce was also surprisingly spicy, even after requesting it mild after being asked over the phone. It was so spicy that the child I brought it for wasn't able to eat it. I ended up taking it home for myself. Cool spot where the uniqueness will get me to come back. Hope they can stick around.

Cute decorations for halloween and very sweet workers! Their menu looks so interesting, boba plus Italian food, and not the basic spaghetti, they have burrata and bucatini and it looks so good! I need to try it next time I'm here! Drinks are also solid :) their music choice is also really good. Boba, pasta, and RNB what more could you ask for !

I wanted to love this place. I had this place bookmarked for months until I finally had some time to go. This place is in a not so busy, huge complex along Mission Blvd with plenty of parking. They have the typical ordering screen right in front. Which I usually prefer so i can have time to think about what I want. I know I really wanted to try the pasta because I don't think I have seen a boba place serve pasta before. So I got the chicken fettucine alfredo and a matcha strawberry latte. My bf got popcorn chicken and the peach rose oolong tea with boba. We also got our order for dine in. Didn't wait too long and the order is ready. Everything was packed up to go, (even though we said we were eating in). Someone did come out with plates and utensils which we appreciate. The matcha strawberry was okay, the popcorn chicken was okay, but the peach rose tea was really good. Surprisingly not too floral that it smells perfumy. Very refreshing. The pasta was good too, I like they used real parsley. I just think it was a bit expensive for what you get. Overall it was okay. I will give this place a chance again when I am in the area and try the pizzas and other drinks.

Really wanted to like this place based on others' reviews, but for me this place unfortunately fell flat. Came in on a Saturday evening after a local graduation, and there was no one else inside. Cute decor, located in a strip mall. Place was staffed and clean, and lots of drink and food options. Unfortunately the drink flavors weren't that flavorful. The popcorn chicken was overly breaded, and felt more like breading rather than chicken. Maybe it was an off day when I went, but overall it wasn't a memorable experience.

Last Wednesday, we were a trio on a mission, a mission for 1/3 of the trio to introduce the duo, my daughter and myself to some good Italian eats served at a boba tea spot? Not exactly, it's a cafe! A Boba Tea cafe serving some of the best Italian food I've ever eaten out. Once you visit you'll understand... the 3 of us drove from The Jo to Hayward solely for this experience. See My buddy had experienced some of the great food and excellent service a few days prior and vowed to return, so what better way than to treat Me and My daughter for My birthday! Let me start by saying there isn't 1 thing we ate or drank that We wouldn't eat or drink again; over and over again. Everything was delicious, the portions huge, and the prices very reasonable. I love the interior set up, the board games made Me feel as though I was at home dining with My family. The staff are amazing!

Sip and Savor is more than just a boba shop, hence the savor part of the name. Cheryl put this place on my radar as soon as she said braised beef cheeks special. I knew this was going to go fast so I called in early to reserve two orders for pickup. Because it is so decadent and rich, it is absolutely shareable or enough for some leftovers. It is melt in your mouth tender and perfect to go over the bed of mashed potatoes and vegetable. When the beef cheeks are not available, they do offer some delicious pastas like the bucatini with fresh pistachio pasta and ricotta and a spaghetti with bolognese that you can add chicken or shrimp to for an additional $5. Both were a hit and would bring me back in.

Came here for a Yelp event, and had been craving it ever since so came for my lunch. Good location in a non-hectic shopping center with lots of parking. Nice clean interior and friendly owner! I took my order togo and the owner made sure not to close my popcorn chicken boxes all the way so it can stay crunchy, now thats good service! The Ube Taro Milk Tea is delicious and perfectly creamy, I added cream brûlée topping and that combo is the one! 10/10. Popcorn chicken is full of flavor, crunchy and spicy got a good kick! Love that they put lots of basil and the chicken pieces are huge! Definitely get your money's worth! My coworkers tried my popcorn chicken and were amazed how big and good it is, they said they definitely going to come here. They also have amazing pastas! This is a great boba shop!

I first came here for a Yelp event and I had to come here on my own time. Staff are always so friendly and the food and drink was still as delicious as the first time. I just came for a small snack, onion rings and I got my Thai Tea. Their Thai tea was really good. It's been my go to if I never know what to get. Their onion rings were fresh hot and delicious. I am glad that Yelp did an event here to really showcase this place. I will definitely be coming here after work before I go home.

Had a half marathon this upcoming Sunday so wanted to carb up with pasta! Food/drink: - chicken Alfredo pasta with mushrooms - 9/10 soooo yummy! I typically like my pasta to be a little more cooked and soft to chew but the flavor was so good! - mild popcorn chicken - 9/10 also really good, mild was really mild! I usually eat it more spicy but couldn't risk a stomachache before my run. Maybe a medium option would be nice but chicken was really good! - spaghetti bolognese - 8/10 my bf ordered this and really liked it. I tasted it and was good but im not really a sour spaghetti sauce gal - I know, this is like closer to the more authentic Italian taste. - passion fruit oolong tea - 10/10 sooooo good!! Service: - 10/10 the workers there were really nice! We ordered for take out but decided to dine in. They brought us water, the food, and were attentive enough to ask us how things were and if we needed anything. I didn't expect this from a joint like this because it seemed like those usual boba tea hangout spots where you don't get this kind of service. Ambiance: - 10/10 small location but big enough to allow several groups to hangout. They had some board games, which I had fun playing with (I love board games). Place was clean, plenty of parking spaces within the lot, nothing to complain about there. Cute decorative wall for customers to take pictures with as background. Overall, good experience, I'd come back!

Imagine your fave boba shop..... but with an Italian flare??? literally, they have pastas and pizzas on the menu! this was new for me. Sip and savor has been on my must go list since they opened! I needed to check it our since I'm local to hayward and always curious about the newest boba spots and cafes. My friends and i all decided to get different drinks to taste test them all. I got the peach matcha latte ,gotta say, I LOVED the puree!!! so yummy. Another notable one was the Peaches + Cream and the Ube Coffee. Recommend those two!!! the food was pretty good too. The popcorn chicken was nicely seasoned and the pieces were HUGE. I think i need to try more of their Italian options.

Honestly, I didn't expect much from their pasta since it's mainly a boba shop, but they actually surpassed my expectations! I found the jasmine milk tea to be decent but the highlight was definitely the chicken fettuccine Alfredo! The prices are reasonable and the pasta was great.

New-ish boba/drink and Italian food spot! Their food menu has lots of small bites as well as pizza + pasta dishes, which I want to come back and try! Drink menu has classic milk teas, Vietnamese coffee, matcha drinks as well as refreshing fruit teas, which I opted for. The inside was sooo cute, decorated for Christmas and had Home Alone 2 playing. There's also a variety of board games available, and I saw a few tables sitting and playing together! Peace Rose Oolong Tea (5/5): Floral and not too sweet, which was perfect for me. I added lychee jelly for personal preference and I liked it! Also came out super fast after we ordered on the kiosk. Even if it's cold outside, I'm always craving a drinky drink. Next time I'd also try the food/snacks + Viet coffee when I'm in the mood!

A boba spot with italian food! I only came in to try the boba drinks but I will definitely come back to try their food. We came in before the after school rush since this place is near a high school. You can order with the workers or through the self order kiosk. I liked how the inside was decorated well and spacious. They also offered fun games for people dining in. The workers were very nice. Their drinks were just okay so minus one star. The boba didn't have much taste even though it was on the menu as "honey boba." There was nothing bad about the drinks but there wasn't anything wow-ing.

This is the best boba place in Hayward hands down! All their drinks are amazing and never disappoint. They are on the pricier side ($9 a drink with toppings) but it's worth it as you can tell they use high quality ingredients and put love and care into their drinks. I got the Thai milk tea and it was perfectly sweet. It had a milky flavor and you can't taste the caffeine or tea which I like. The boba was chewy but I wish it was coated in something like honey or brown sugar as it was pretty bland and tasteless.

I'd never seen a boba shop that also sells Italian food, so I knew I had to check this place out! Sip & Savor is located in a shopping center off of Mission with lots of parking. Inside, the store has cute decor and lots of seating. There was a TV with a movie playing. I imagine this place would be a great hangout spot for local students. My friends and I ordered ahead online. Service was quick! It was ready soon after we arrived. I got fries and a mango lemon passionfruit green tea. The fries were super crispy and the serving was pretty large. Perfect snack for sharing with friends. My drink was refreshing, but I thought that the fruit flavor wasn't very strong. Maybe less fruit flavor was added because I got lower sweetness. My friend ordered pasta and she said it was really good. I wouldn't come here just for the boba, but I would come back if I wanted a tasty meal along with a refreshing drink. Next time, I might try one of their matchas instead. I don't often see peach matcha lattes on menus. The pizzas also look tempting!

This spot deserves an updated review. Unfortunately, still not a fan of milk teas, boba and sweet drinks BUT I am a fan of their savory items. Now, the reason for my update: *** BRAISED BEEF CHEEKS! You heard that right....this yummy dish is offered at a boba shop located in a strip mall in Hayward! Found out by accident when I saw a post on IG and Yelp friend (Natasha) posted a Sip and Savors' Special of the Day pic. This wonderful Italian dish was perfectly cooked, tender, melt-in-your mouth and rich on top of perfectly seasoned mashed potatoes with some baby carrots The owner/chef, John knows what he's doing! After chatting, I was right about his talent (to offer beef cheeks on your menu!): Michelin-trained chef and worked in various restaurants including with Chef David Fisher.....Foodies! you know whats up! Highly recommend Sip and Savor! I'm definitely going back for more! He needs to do a pop-up event to showcase his talents! *hint* :) Call for availability or DM via IG: @sipandsavorhayward

Been here a few times now! You will not have trouble finding parking here. There are board and card games there for you to enjoy with your family or friends! This is a great boba shop if you want to yap and snack with others, or just do some work on your laptop. Wish I took photos but each time I jump right into taking a sip of the boba drinks, followed by the pasta order. Their boba is mediocre, but it cures your thirst if you're looking for a refreshing drink or some caffeinated milk tea. My partner ordered a strawberry milk tea and I had the SS milk tea. I enjoyed his more, because it was sweeter. We also tried popcorn chicken and they're big and tender! Their carbonara pasta and fusilli with shrimp is also really good. We would like to try their pizzas next time.

This Boba spot is pretty close and pretty good. The decorations are pretty cool right now for Halloween, I want to see how it is for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I know they'll go crazy. The service was pretty quick and the staff is hella nice. They're pretty easy going and the one girl working there had very on brand nails for Halloween lol. I ordered boba and popcorn chicken. The chicken is flavorful and tender. Boba was good!

Just tried this place last night. Cute decor and great music to sit and eat. We ordered fries, lemon pepper wings, lychee grape boba and the Ube/taro milk tea. The drinks were great! The Ube/taro was sweet and delicious. The lychee grape had a strong tea flavor which my husband enjoyed. The food was freshly made and delicious. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend this place! Only downfall of this location is that it is next to a nail salon so it smells like nail polish. However, that could be a pro for many people who want to snack and get their nails done

Sip & Savor opened where Money Mart once was. Sparse decor save for vanilla walls, flatscreen, logo centered greenery. Lotsa open space. 2 rows of tables inside. Offerings: milk tea, fruit tea, matcha, Vietnamese coffee, salted cheese, bites. Italian eats: Roman style pizza, "a lot more" (entrees).. Ordered at counter. Drink ready within 10 minutes Sips: red bean matcha latte (7) 25% ice/sugar. -stirred the bottom to integrate fresh red bean with drink. Sweet red bean & slightly sweetened matcha made drink slightly oversweet. Milk had no effect on flava. *interesting drink. A tweak is needed for those who prefer a less sweet drink. 4 ish stars. Italian food paired with boba unique. Didn't know how to pair. Maybe a suggested combo would be helpful. -slow r & b music in background.

This boba spot is pretty spacious and so cute inside! When I came in, it was pretty slow for a late Saturday afternoon. You walk up and can order on the kiosk. I tried the citrus tea, the ube taro milk tea, and the Thai tea which were all delicious! I also ordered the popcorn chicken that was also pretty good, you get an option of spice level when ordering and my favorite part was all the fresh basil, they do not skimp!!

Yelp
A boba + pasta is a novel business concept. It's understandable that the reviews have been positive so far. Unfortunately, I respectfully disagree with the raving reviews. 1. The tapioca pearls that were served to me at night were mushy, not plump and chewy like fresh tapioca. This decreases the drink's enjoyment when the topping is off. Maybe it's a nighttime issue, but good boba businesses should know to make fresh tapioca around the clock especially at night. 2. The drink prices are unusual for this area in Hayward. For context, this is a plaza that has a liquor store, nail salon, and CSL Plasma next door. It's not a scene with trendy restaurants that deserve premium pricing. The $7-8 range puts them on par with high-end boba shops like Chicha San Chen 吃茶三千 or 7 Leaves, but this is not at that level. 3. The food is equally expensive. For a cafe of this caliber, a pasta served out of plastic tubberware for $20 is difficult to accept. A more appropriate price point would be $8-$10 for popcorn chicken - maybe calamari. For reference, $20 would get you real nice pasta at Pasta Supply Co in SF. If this business can improve their quality and make their prices more competitive, they can win some customers in Hayward.

A boba shop with a twist. Not a sit-down restaurant but has more substantial food options (pasta, pizza, snacks) than a normal boba shop. Order at the counter and seat yourselves, first come, first served. Most tables seat only 2 ppl but we moved 2 tables together for our group of 6 (and put it back upon leaving). Only decor is the green wall with neon sign + large screen TV that showed what song was playing. What I ordered and my review of each item: Mango lemon passion fruit green tea with boba, 50% sweet + less ice + boba (not pictured): Mangoes weren't in season yet so not as sweet. Comes with mango bits, and flavor of drink itself was pretty refreshing. Boba unfortunately was a little mushy. But might be because we went an hour before closing and it's the last of the batch. 7.5/10 Sip & Savor milk tea (milk tea with creme brulee), 50% sweet + less ice + boba: Thank goodness I got 50% sweet because it was plenty sweet already. Glad I got to choose sweetness level because most crème brûlée drinks don't. Boba, same as above. Not impressed by the drink overall as it just tastes like sweet milk tea, nothing too special. 7/10 Popcorn chicken (spicy): LOVED this. It's been so long since I found a boba shop that does popcorn chicken really well. You have the option for spicy or not and I opted for spicy. The nostalgic popcorn chicken taste did not disappoint. Garlic, basil, herbs, a little bit of spice that didn't kill my taste buds. And the crispy exterior + juicy, tender meat was absolute perfection. 10/10 Buccatini alla pesto: Thicker tube-like noodle in pistachio pesto sauce topped with whipped ricotta cheese. There are pistachio bits that you can taste and feel the texture of in every bite. The bucatini is hot but mellows out with the cold ricotta on top when you mix it in. Interesting flavor profile as I haven't really had pistachio pesto before but not mad at it. But also not my first choice next time. Makes me want to try the other pastas, for sure. 7/10 Will be back to try more.

Attention all: New boba spot in Hayward! Located in the shopping plaza across from Moreau HS, where the old La Vics used to be. Sip & Savor has some of the best fruit teas I've ever tasted! It's refreshing and packed with real fruit flavors (we tried 3). The tea was perfectly brewed, striking a great balance between the fruits and the tea's essence. In addition, the service was relatively quick. We're definitely coming back to try their milk teas and food options. If you're a fruit tea lover, this place is a must-visit!

Pasta, pizza and boba all in one spot is an interesting concept. I would've never thought they sold pasta or pizza just by looking at their name or logo. They should highlight it more in their marketing! We tried several items here: the carbonara, funghi pizza, popcorn chicken, black milk tea, ube and taro milk tea, mango passionfruit tea, and grape green tea. The food exceeded my expectations since I wouldn't expect high quality food at a boba cafe. They should market this side of the cafe more since I think the food is the main attraction. The carbonara was good and not too salty, it had bits of guanciale (cured pork) which helped add more depth into the cheesiness of the pasta. They didn't have anymore rigatoni so we had it with penne. While it's supposed to be a rich dish, I'm glad it wasn't overly heavy or salty. The pizza was suuuper cheesy. I liked that the pizza wasn't overly crusty or hard, it actually had a light and fluffy texture with a nice outer crunch. I preferred the pizza over the pasta just because of the variety of textured and flavors. I'd definitely try their margherita next time. The drinks were good and the fruit teas tasted fresh (everything at 50% sweet). My favorites were the grape green tea and black milk tea. The black milk tea reminded me of Hong Kong style milk tea - the tea flavor was decently strong and you could taste the evaporated milk in it. The grape green tea had slices of real grape at the bottom, and the mango drink had mango bits and lemon slices in them. The mango bits were a bit sour but the drink itself was a good level of sweetness (I'm a 30% sweetness girly usually). I'd suggest they cut the grapes into smaller bits since they couldn't make it up the straw. Ube and taro milk tea was standard. The popcorn chicken was probably our least favorite item. It was really spiced, which you could taste and smell, but the chicken itself wasn't that flavorful. It was nice and crispy though. The space is very large and new, and they had a lot of people working there. Service was very attentive and the lady behind the cashier was very friendly. I'd come again to try the other pizzas and the viet coffee drinks!

Soft opening today, June 14 from 11am to 8pm and they are offering 20% off all orders! Love how the space is big and open! Located in the Mission Plaza where Baskin Robbins is and right next to Lux Nail and Spa! Plenty of parking since it's in a shopping plaza. There are a lot of chairs and tables in the seating area. Service was super fast (especially for a soft opening) and the person who took my order was friendly and loved that she made sure my name was spelled correctly without me asking. It only took about 5 minutes for my two drinks to be ready! I ordered the Ube Vietnamese Coffee and the Egg Vietnamese Coffee. I didn't make any drink adjustments so stuck with the default. Both were delicious, but definitely on the sweeter side, so hopefully these can be adjusted per request. Will definitely ask next time! Both drinks had a generous amount of topping on top of the coffee! Make sure you mix the drink for the best results. The amount of ice was perfect and doesn't take cup the volume in the cup! My bf who is an avid coffee drinker said the coffee wasn't as strong as some places we've tried , but is still pretty decent! He will definitely order the Egg Coffee again! I'm looking forward to trying the food options, especially the Italian pastas! We both can't wait to be back and are so happy that there's a new spot in Hayward that has Egg Coffee!

I bought a drink last year and liked it (I believe it was creme brulee milk tea), killed the whole thing on the way home. Last week I came by and got popcorn chicken due to the good ratings. It was a weekday afternoon so the spot wasn't crowded. I ordered at the kiosk and waited no more than 8 min for my food. I got it spicy and brought it home. The portions are nice and generous, but it is 9.99 which is quite steep relative to other spots I usually go to. The flavors are good, but not quite like tapex or mr green bubble. It had a unique taste to it, forgot what it was reminiscent of. I'd love to come by here and try their other food items, and drinks.

I just moved to Hayward and it's been hard to find good fruit teas. So not going to lie , I thought what kind of boba place has pasta?? One night I was like whatever I'm gonna try it. I've tried multiple boba spots around Hayward and none has really made me a repeat offender. I got their chicken Alfredo and carbonara... listen I'm not even sure how they could make something so simple so yummmmmmy! The tea was so good , I could really taste the green tea and it wasn't watered down. My first thought was FINALLY I found a good tea spot with good popcorn chicken and randomly ... good pasta .

This spot is mainly known for the boba type drinks but don't sleep on the pasta! You wouldn't think but the pasta is a great reason to come here. The guys the own it are great people and you can tell they care about the food quality and have great attitudes. Maybe 5 or 6 tables but it's pretty chill size eating area. I got the chicken Alfredo with mushrooms and my partner got some pesto type pasta with chicken, delicious! Better than Olive Garden all day! Mom and pop spot so go support!

Tried the pumpkin oolong drink and it was amazing, would suggest to get it with boba like my wife did while I got it without. If you like pumpkin spice that isn't overpowering this drink is for you.

Wish I could have liked this place but I don't think I even finished my drink. I got the strawberry lemonade oolong tea which is one of their popular ones and all it tasted like was watered down bottled lemonade. I didn't even really taste the lemon, let alone the oolong tea so it really just tasted like sugary lemon water. I almost thought they forgot the tea because I couldn't really taste it at all. It was a slow night so it wasn't like they were rushing either. Hoping their food is better.

Sip & Savor is located in the Mission Plaza, which is a semi-busy plaza. They have plenty of shared parking as well. Service was good, the employees working behind the counter were friendly and welcoming. Simple exterior, but the interior was pretty and good for photos. I ordered a jasmine milk tea with honey boba. The milk tea was decent, but it had a stronger tea taste to it and it was not as creamy as I would had liked it to be. The boba was a bit on the melty / softer side. Overall, they were decent, but they are still new, so I may have to be back to try a different drink and / or their food (their pasta dishes looked pretty good).

Staff are friendly and welcoming. We've been to this place 3 times now. The drinks are light but refreshing. My favorite is the peach rose tea and my husband likes the grape tea. I appreciate that they top the drink whether its light ice or no ice unlike other places. Truffle parmesan fries was yummy. Portion was huge and every single piece of the fries was coated with seasoning. As far as the pasta the pesto is my favorite, next will be carbonara with chunky pieces of bacon. Added chicken and they put a lot. Will try the other flavors next time. Hope that their quality never change, for a boba place the food has so far been amazing. So far the only thing I didn't like was the mango passion fruit as I didn't take either but not worth taking a star off. Can't speak for the rest of the menu but will update when we do.

We were driving in the area and craving boba. After a quick search, we found Sip & Savor. The shop is located in a small shopping center with plenty of parking. The shop has about ten tables, mostly two-tops, and serves a variety of milk tea and fruit tea drinks, as well as Vietnamese coffee. Additionally, they have snacks like popcorn chicken, but they also have more substantial pasta dishes. I had a sweetened Vietnamese coffee, which was super strong and not too sweet - delicious and highly recommended if you need an afternoon pickup! Wife had a matcha latte with boba and said it was pretty good as well. The popcorn chicken was also really tasty. Overall, a solid shop and would definitely stop in again if in the area.

Staff/Service: Friendly and helpful! I'm new to trying these boba type drinks so getting someone to help as I order was appreciated!! Drinks: Ordered the Dragonfruit Oolong Tea w/ Lychee Jelly Boba, 75% sweet, 50% ice. The sweetness was perfect because I don't like anything too sweet, it had perfect flavor for me. Also ordered the Passionfruit Lemon Green Tea, 75% sweetness. My partner thought it tasted good, similar to an Arizona Iced Tea. (he's normally not a tea person, I just brought one home for him to try). I personally liked it! Location: Super cute picture wall! If I had available hands to take a cute photo, I would have. Clean, and good music playing. Will be back!

Been following the hard work on socials for a long time now and I was happy to finally see the announcement of "OPENING". I made my visit the day of the announcement, and felt like I came in at the right time (not too busy). I looked at the menu beforehand and was ready to order immediately when I was helped. I ordered the Guave Passionfruit Iced Tea with 50% ice and 50% sugar. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi Pasta spicy with light garlic (special request). After ordering, I chose to sit at the table near the entrance. After I was seated, there was a little rush of customers that came in. I took in the sights of the shop and felt happy to be able to finally visit. The hardwork definitely paid off and the self-construction projects was well worth it. The decor was bright and lifted up my spirits for sure! After a couple of minutes, I got my drink frist and then my food shortly after. I'm glad I chose a fruit tea option because it definitely comlimenrted the savory delicousness of the Shrimp Scampi pasta. The pasta and shrimp had great texture and I was throughly satisfied. Equiped with my fork, I finished my food no problem. Followed up with the refreshing fuit tea to complete my meal. This is a special place and I am happy to support the amazing humans behind it. Please come here and enjoy your experience as much as you can. Now is a good time to visit as well if you like deals/discounts ;) Mahalo , @gerosan_adv

Wow, what a great find in Hayward! One of the largest spaces for a boba shop I've ever seen. Plenty of room to relax or to gather with friends for a meetup. Their menu is boba, Italian food, popcorn chicken, and fruit teas. I can highly recommend the rose peach tea as it was amazing. Very friendly staff and spots for memorable IG posts. I really enjoyed my visit and the refreshing peach tea.
