Was Kevin at Purple Kow a mag?
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. View all feedback.

What Elizabeth L dislikes about Purple Kow:
Purple Kow is located by UC Berkeley, so it gets busy here. Parking is street parking, but since it is Berkeley it may be hit or miss. This location is two stories, usually they will let you hang upstairs where there are chairs and tables there for you to hang out and enjoy your boba. I had tried multiple drinks that I do not like, so I usually just stick with the jasmine milk tea with boba. The milk tea is just okay... View all feedback.
