Crema's Take
“This vibrant pink-hued tea house in Alameda is a delightful escape for families and friends, offering an inviting play area for kids alongside a curated menu of specialty drinks—from traditional Vietnamese phin egg coffee to creative brown sugar boba milk teas. Beyond the drinks, TOMO wins hearts with their crispy-outside, chewy-inside mochi donuts in playful flavors, all easily customized through modern self-serve kiosks that make ordering feel effortless and fun. The whole experience strikes that sweet spot between a trendy, Instagram-worthy atmosphere and a genuinely welcoming gathering place where people linger.”

Went here after the electrify expo on Saturday around 4pm. There was plenty of parking in the parking lot. When we went inside I was "wow" by how much pink decor there was. The play area looked like those cat play areas, which was cute. I wanted to come to this place mainly for their mochi donuts. I was disappointed that there was only like 4 flavors when in other pictures, there is a lot more flavors. From what it looked like there was only 2 people working and they seemed tired out. Their attitude wasn't outgoing, so this is why they got one less star. The drinks were delicious though.
This place is PINK! There's a nice play area for little kids. They also sell a variety of mochi donuts. From the kiosk, we ordered Wintermelon Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, Phin Egg Coffee, and a Mochi Donut. The drinks were good. I liked the coffee. It had an interesting taste mixed with the egg flavor.
Tomo is a sweet spot! Their mochi donuts are absolutely delicious—crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with a variety of fun flavors. The drinks are equally yummy, with lots of options to choose from. What really sets them apart is their free kids' play area, which is a nice bonus if you have little ones. You just need to sign a waiver, and they can burn off some energy while you enjoy your treats. Overall, a fantastic place for a snack, drink, and some family-friendly fun!
Stopped in for a sweet treat and tea after dinner at Yo Sushi. The decor is super fun. Self serve order kiosks feel very trendy. Very easy to customize orders and pay by card. We also saw people walk in and order at the counter, presumably they accept cash as well. Donuts are fun and tasty. Background music is very eclectic, several different genres and decades covered while we were there. Lots of pink and positive messaging. Staff was willing to help us take a family photo by the round swing chair.
We went to the grand opening of Bober Tea & Coffee today. It was our first time trying their boba and mochi donuts. This is such a cute place to go to. We tried their boba and it's really good. We loved their mochi donuts. I will definitely come back with my family.
