50 Best Bubble Tea near Burlingame

“This bubble tea spot was such a vibe. I got the brown sugar boba and it was honestly perfection. The drink was creamy, smooth, and perfectly sweet. The boba pearls were soft and chewy just the way I like them. The tea and milk ratio was spot on, and every sip tasted super fresh and balanced.
It is a cute little spot, perfect for quick pickups. There is not much space to sit, but it totally works if you just want to grab your drink and go. Everything felt freshly made and not overly sugary like some other places. You can tell they put effort into getting the flavor right.
I finished my drink way too fast because it was that good. Definitely one of the best brown sugar bobas I have had in a while. I am for sure coming back again.“

“Happy new year ume. I love the matcha latte. The sweetness is just on point, not overly sugary, so you can fully taste the authentic tea flavor. U guys used to play music like keshi and sombr in the store which I enjoy listening while waiting for order. I kinda miss that.“

“If you’re looking for the best smash burger in Burlingame, look no further than Lilikoi. The food is consistently great, and the service is some of the friendliest I’ve experienced. A huge bonus is their delivery service to nearby bars—it’s the perfect setup for a night out. Highly recommend!“

“Tpumps is a great place to get boba at a decent price. Not too long ago, they raised their prices by 50 cents, which is disappointing but understandable. My go-to at Tpumps is the blackberry peach black tea with boba, and it always hits the spot. The pearl-tea ratio isn't the best, but the drink is still very worth it. I can appreciate the amount of customization this boba place offers, from the long list of flavors, to the many topping choices, to the amounts of sweetness and ice you can request, to the option to add milk. That's what makes it different from the rest. The staff at Burlingame are particularly excellent. A customer once mistook my order for their own and left, and the employees quickly noticed and remade my drink. Overall, a fine boba place, 4/5.“

“Super nice and helpful staff, the drinks were ready so fast! The tea and boba are pretty good, but the menu is slightly limited. The interior of this place is not the cutest, but there's lots of chairs. Very good location, right in the downtown.“

“sandwich great cookies. great friendly owners“

“This is my favorite boba shop in the Bay Area!
They use Straus fresh milk, Califia almond milk, and Oatly oat milk — all high-quality choices in the market.
Their boba is also amazing — always soft, chewy, and just the right amount of sweetness.
What I love most is that their drinks are never overly sweet, unlike many other shops.
Their seasonal watermelon drinks are super refreshing and perfect for summer. You can even see piles of fresh watermelon behind the counter, so I’m confident their fruit drinks are made with real, fresh ingredients.“

“Came here on my way back from an event, and I'm not usually in the area. Also came here because there was a TooGoodToGo (2g2g) and thought I'd pick up for it.

I also purchased two drinks from here, one large milk tea, and one rose hip milk tea + matcha cloud. The rose hip milk tea was at 70% sweetness. A little on the sweeter side than I thought, but still very enjoyable. The flavor itself was strong enough to balance out the tea, and not necessarily overpower it. The cloud added a nice consistency and level of flavor to the drink overall.

The prices for these drinks seem very affordable to me. I'm happy the extra fun options were nothing to stretch my wallet over.

Drew (owner) told me that he'd just opened the store 3 months ago, and I hope it does well! I know I'm not in the area often, but hope if I'm ever nearby, I can nab another drink. He seems to have a good rapport with his staff, and good demeanor to customers, which certainly adds to the experience.

He told me he'd been rated low on 2g2g. He'd given me the option of picking what I wanted for drinks (2 large or 3 smalls), and then gave me a variety of flavors to choose from. The main low rating I saw on 2g2g in regards to this store was variety of drinks. In my opinion, getting 2 flavors for one trip is completely fine for a 2g2g pick up. Half the purpose of 2g2g is to help the restaurant/store with slow moving stock. I hope people stop rating this store low on 2g2g, because it doesn't deserve to be anything less than 4.5 in my opinion.“

“I have been a customer there for 1 year and I love it, this is best Boba place in redwood city, I highly recommend this place if you want Boba, whoever didn't rate 5 stars, I want what your smoking“

“I love Tong Sui!! Glad there's one near where I usually get my car serviced. Stopped by for the first time and they got A LOTTA flavors to try!! I love jasmine flavors and this summer they have it as a Jasmine Coconut Pudding!! Hope it'll stick around all-season instead!! Servicer is super nice and attentive as well!! Will come back!!“

“Fantastic, authentic milk tea, now in the heart of San Mateo. Newly opened, this branch of Molly Tea is off to a gangbuster start. The cafe's ambience is welcoming, with the shop draped in Molly Tea's signature pink. The staff are doing a great job. Just be prepared for really, really long queues as LOTS of people want to get their milk tea fix here.“

“The tea here is good compared to other tea shops in the area. The milk and sugar doesn't overwhelm the tea. The shop is decorated with anime figures but there's no seating in the shop. Ordering is through just 1 kiosk, but our tea order of 4 was prepared in a timely manner. Parking was not a problem on a Tuesday afternoon.“

“You never go wrong with Happy Lemon for boba. The location is in the heart of Redwood city. The parking is a bit hard, then you walk to the strip mall to get to the shop. The staff was friendly. My friend accidentally ordered the wrong item, and staff were happy to fix it. The shop is small with few tables, but it’s very neat and clean“

“A wide variety of mochi donuts available that are soft and fluffy. Cute and clean, bright aesthetic. Honestly, one of the few tea/coffee shops in the area that feel like you could sit for a while and no one would care. My NY Resolution is to try a new boba shop every two weeks, so I feel like I'm becoming a tapioca pearl expert. These were really good! Perfect QQ.“

“Mango juice tastes so good! Eggettes so soft!“

“I'm a mystery shopper for boba tea. This tea place is one of the best in the bay area. Itea, Purple Kow, Tea Era, Boba Lab are also quite good.“

“TeaHut in Millbrae is great for fresh, real fruit tea. The Mango Pomelo Sago is a must-try—perfectly sweet with real ingredients. The Full Cup of Strawberries & Black Grapes is refreshing, with whole, in-season grapes. Cozy spot, and parking is convenient too!“

“I LOVE this place! Its so fast so much stuff to choose and have plenty of styles of tea and foods!“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“Pretty cool little spot for a quick Tea!!! Ice area etc.“

“this place's honey boba was surprisingly soft! as for the drink, pretty standard taste for what you pay for, but honestly the consistency of the tapioca boba blew me away. it doesn't have an oddly hard center like many other cheap-ish boba places, and for that i applaud tpumps!“

“First time trying this place and wow so good! Ordered thur doordash, it was about 20 minutes and the drinks taste delicious! I am satisfied that I had my boba cravings. We got 3 drinks, classic black milk tea with boba, taro & milk, grapefruit green tea with lime. It was all bombing. Will try others soon, free delivery over $15 promotion. Finished pretty quick so no pictures:)“

“So I was in the mood for a drink so I thought I'd try their banana milk. Had heard of banana milk but never had it. I would have been content with just a regular milk that tastes like banana but I was pleasantly surprised that this was much better. It felt handcrafted, the banana milk texture was just slightly thicker than plain milk which was enjoyable. The taste was so perfect i dont even know how to compliment it. It was just the pure essence of banana without any bitterness, but still retaining that slight earthiness and im pretty sure it was made of real banana, there was no artificial syrup flavor etc. It was really really good and I'd definitely go back just for this one item even.“

“Yummy 😋 and good place! And friendly staff“

“Black sugar milk tea ! Yummy“

“NEW in the Highlands: At last, our own boba tea joint and it’s awesome! RareTea took over the Hawaiian BBQ space, and it’s serving up Okinawa and Jasmine milk teas every bit as good as it is back in Taiwan 🇹🇼! Props to the owners braving COVID shutdown and having a go at their small business — from the looks on the little kids’ faces, we are glad and we will be back, often! 🥤 🌞 🇹🇼“

“Super fast service from the Master boba technician and awesome crew ❤️❤️❤️“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“Tea World is my favorite boba shop in Pacifica.“

“Tried the coconut grass jelly milk tea with 30% sugar, I don't have sweet teeth so it is still a little bit sweet, otherwise it is pretty good, the toppings are very fresh and you can taste the coconut quite a bit. There are also a lot of seats inside, clean, can hangout with friend there.“

“Good experience and easy to order (kiosk or at the counter). Staff prepare drinks quickly and they do have good options.

They pride themselves on fresh ingredients that are house made. Not sure if this extends to their toppings, but I've appreciated their fruit drinks in the past.

On the more expensive side for boba and they do provide quality cups and the option between plastic and bamboo straws.“

“Enjoying my boba during this hot day👍“

“The restaurant was empty at 7pm. They have a $12 snack & drink combo. My popcorn chicken and Thai iced tea tasted fine. The random thing is, they have a wall of Chinese knick knacks for sale, like candy and ceramic bowls. I like how my drink weren't too sweet. Service was fine and my food came out in a reasonable amount of time.“

“+ Great variety of choices for brunches (sandwiches, bagels, rice plates, etc, rice balls) and beverages (coffee, tea, boba, etc)
+ Loved the omelet. Light and fresh taste. Not over-flavored like many other brunch places.
+ Quiet and low key atmosphere

- Hojicha was too sweet.“

“I go here all the time for their claw machines, unique drinks, and MUCH cheaper coconut pudding than places like Tong Sui (hate to start competition but it must be said). The customer service, always very nice ladies working behind the counter! Their drinks I love too, especially the mango coconut pudding drink. Lots of lower reviews of how slow this business runs is not true. Only once did that happen to me in 3 years of going there, and it is important to understand that I always see that workers behind the counter trying to handle it the best they could! They don’t slack off!“

“I love the passion fruit tea! You have to try it!!!!“

“I had not been to this specific Quickly below because there are a couple others closer to where I live and usually shop. I really liked the size and decor, and the ease of using the Revi ordering kiosk.
My passion fruit slush with double aloe was really good, though it started melting pretty fast. My husband's Jasmine milk tea was exactly as advertised. The popcorn chicken was really good, even if it took some time to make (which they do warn you about, so I'm not mad). I will definitely return to this Quickly in the future.“

“Amazing tea with great variety! Accidentally stumbled across this place, have returned since, and am never disappointed! The milk tea boba is great, but the Super Fruit green tea with passion fruit popping boba is next level. The fresh fruit slices mixed in with the tea are a refreshing surprise and the fruit is always ripe and delicious. I tried the grapefruit fruit tea today as well which hit the spot! Would definitely recommend checking out Tea Juice!“

“customer service is beyond amazing. fast and quick. owners are very friendly and sweet.“

“Overall pretty good. Went on a weekend on Saturday around 3pm. There was a pretty big wait with people crowding outside waiting for orders. They have a QR code you can scan outside or you can order inside. We tried the strawberry milk tea 30% sweet and that was good for us. The wait was about 15 min though until it was ready. Longer than some other boba tea places. Price is around $5-6. Also parking can be tricky.“

“I have been here a handful of times, and usually my pit stop for something quick when I am in the area. This location is basically a hole in the mall where you might drive past and not even notice there is a Quickly there. The shop is compact where it is strictly to go only, you can either order from the kiosk or a staff can help you at the counter. Their menu consists of milk tea, slushies, specialty drinks, snacks, etc. The staffs here are well trained and quick with orders. I typically get a milk tea and a popcorn chicken when I make my visits. I recommend this place to all boba enthusiasts, if you are on a limited time or if you just want something quick. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“So nostalgic coming back to t4 as it was childhood memory for people that went to the near by schools like mills or BIS, their food and drinks are still very good.

Ordered snack combo and came back to get their tofu snack, freshly fried soft tofu so it’s piping hot and good with some sauces

Not to mention the employee here are very nice, the lady working the cashier kept offering if there’s anything else I needed when I eat in the store but had to bring some leftover to go with a Togo bag, even opening the bag and tried to bag it for me. That’s beyond boba shop level customer service 😆“

“Refreshing place 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“I love Mama gos! It is my go to when I’m in terminal one and it’s the reason why terminal one is the best terminal! Everyone is super friendly, good is great and it’s so special to see the Filipino culture captured at the airport through Mama Gos.“

“When I want fruit tea, I usually stop by this shop as I think it has ond of the best and I am another mistaken, it was the first one that introduced it during pandemic. I have been visiting this store many times before. It is small shop where you order from the touch screen kiosk. It has space to stand if you want to have the drink inside. This shop usually not busy compare to other boba shop around Downtown area. Usually the drink was ready pretty quickly.“

“Ok family. So I decided to stop by happy lemon.

I got the avocado smoothie with Matcha and Boba.
It is pretty good, but the Boba was a little bit too much.

so I had them take the Boba out for me.

The young lady who took the Boba out, was very cool and went Boba fishing to take out every piece of Boba in my smoothie. Lol

So if you’re looking for a good place to get some good smoothie check out happy lemon.“

“太棒了，肉品沒吃多少，倒是吃了好幾磅的櫻桃🍒“

“Yum… Can’t get enough of P-Town Coffee n Tea.“

“Best tuna melt I ever had. Thank you so much. I enjoyed my lunch.“

“me encanta esta muy buena y no tardan tanto con tu orden...ilove💕“
