Hours at these spots often run into the evening, later than a typical coffee shop, and many stay open on weekends when demand is highest in Berkeley. Seasonal and limited-time drink or dessert flavors are common, so a shop's current menu can differ from what is posted online; checking recent photos or calling ahead helps. Some locations in California are dessert-only with no seating, meant for takeout, while others have cafe-style seating for staying a while. Straws for bubble tea are typically wide to accommodate the toppings, and are provided automatically unless you ask for a regular one. Loyalty apps and stamp cards are common at chain locations, and ordering ahead through an app can shorten a wait considerably at busy locations during peak after-school and after-dinner hours.

Hours are published for 1 day a week. The most common schedule is 10 am–3 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
