Honi Bear Boba Cafe in downtown Pleasanton has been luring Amador students since it first opened in June 2025. Located adjacent to the beloved Almare Gelato Italiano, Honi Bear is a cute and relaxing place to grab a snack after school or hang out with friends. Staying open late —until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays-– the cafe offers a cozy place for late night study sessions as well.
“I got the mango matcha and it was very good. They have a lot of unique flavors and types of drinks and it’s a family business, so it feels nice to go in there and support their business,” said Rujuta Pranjpe (‘27).
Something for everyone
The boba shop has a diverse menu featuring milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, milkshakes, and fruit slushies among other drinks. Alongside drinks, the cafe also offers food including fries, spring rolls, and popcorn chicken.
“[Honi Bear] tastes really good and has a variety of menu options. Also, a lot of the workers there are students, so it’s always fun to be served by people you know” said Evelyn Roe (’27)…
