50 Best Bubble Tea near Burlingame

“Love this place. I 1st discovered this place when my kid was at UC Davis. Great boba drinks and love their popcorn chicken. Today I got their special the fried octopus and jasmine tea. Super delicious. Will definitely come back. And so glad that they are all over the Bay Area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Wasn’t planning on writing a review but the bubble waffle was the best and most perfect one ever had (before I tore into it). Even the edges were shaped well. The Okinawan with free crystal bonds substitution was spot on. Thank you kind lady for being so friendly and accomplishing to my family. We will be back!“

“sandwich great cookies. great friendly owners“

“Megan helped me decide on what drink to try. Great decision trusting her on getting orange green tea with peach oolong. Even after I ordered still continued providing great customer service. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Thank you Megan“

“I went here with my friend and we ordered a pineapple flavored boba drink and it was delicious! The owner Drew served us and was really nice and I liked the environment a lot, its not a super large store but its really cozy and they have some fun interactive activities! I will definitely come back!“

“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“

“Stopped by this ice cream shop and while the flavors are unique, I found some of them just okay. The texture was nice, but a couple of the flavors felt a bit too experimental for my taste. Still worth a try if you're feeling adventurous!“

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

“I have not yet made a visit in person yet, but have ordered from here and got it delivered via DoorDash multiple times. I usually order from here when I am craving for a quality refreshing drink, since the ingredients they use here are premium and authentic. I believe everything here is made or order which is always a plus for me since it is quality over quantity. I highly recommend this place to all boba enthusiasts, if you need a refreshing drink, to anyone willing to try something new, make a visit here when it is hot outside or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I definitely will make a visit in person one day and to continue ordering from here.“

“Always one of my favorite stops if I’m already going for a walk around downtown San Mateo. They’re more well known for their grass jelly (no surprise given the name), but their regular milk teas are also very good as well! I usually go for their orange carmella milk teas, but the snowy tops are also a good treat, especially on a warm day.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Very busy store even at night time. I finally stopped by to order after couple months since it opened eve though I pass by it so often. It is just because most of the drink have milk and I don't like tea with milk.
The store is small with 2 touch screen ordering kiosk but it was not organized nicely as I can see people just cut the line when ordering even though they came after us.
Ordering is simple as the menu is clear. As it was very busy, it took a while for the order to be ready.
The pistachio white Champacca coconut was good. This one has no dairy.“

“Tpumps is a great place to hangout with friends and get a refreshing summer drink. The price is cheap and they sell great boba, you can't really complain about the service, I went last time and they got my drink ready in less than 2 minutes. High quality boba shop.“

“Enjoying my boba during this hot day👍“

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

“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.“

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

“Black sugar milk tea ! Yummy“

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

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“Stopped by Little Late Bird on a weekday at 11am. It's a comfortable cafe serving Korean staples. The Ube Latte was like tropical Hawaii in a cup with coconut hints. The vegetable Japchae had perfectly chewy noodles and just enough sauce and veggies. The Bulgogi sandwich was amazing: toasted roll, perfectly cooked beef, lettuce, tomato, and spicy pickled jalapeños for contrast. Everything was filling but not heavy. They're also open on weekends 9am-4pm, so it's officially entering our brunch rotation!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Tried Grapeholic and it’s a nice change from typical boba spots. Their grape drinks are super refreshing with real fruit flavor, and the cheese foam pairs surprisingly well.

The presentation is great and the vibe is modern, but prices are a bit high and drinks can be on the sweeter side.

Overall, worth trying if you want something different. 4/5 👍“

“Yummy 😋 and good place! And friendly staff“

“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! 🥤 🌞 🇹🇼“

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

“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.“

“I was impressed with my passionfruit tea with a bit of real pulp and seeds. It was $5.50 for the standard large size (24 oz) with a topping, an amazing deal in 2026. They definitely back off the ice if requested, sweetness is slightly high (their 50% is closer to my palate's 70%), and I appreciate the option to choose between green or black teas. The strawberry jellies are tasty, but were harder to suck up the straw. Service was fast and the interior has some tables with C-pop in the background; I'd be glad to hang out with my friends here.“

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

“My first time at TP TEA. I got a lemon black tea with boba. It seemed to have real lemon bits inside. The drink size was large. My sister and mother both complained that the tea was too strong, too bitter. My drink was kind of bitter, too, but it was mostly because of the lemon rather than the tea. I didn’t focus on it much, I enjoyed my drink. I ordered it at 50% sweetness, but it still tasted more sweet. The boba pearls were also oddly small, I swallowed a few on accident.

Overall, would I come to TP TEA again? Most certainly yes. Would I choose it over the other boba stores that I go to regularly? No. But I had a good time. 4/5.“

“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!“

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

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

“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 😆“

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

“太棒了，肉品沒吃多少，倒是吃了好幾磅的櫻桃🍒“

“just like the old Bambu Desserts! #Avocado with boba and color jelly!! easy parking they increase prices tho'“

“Black sugar milk tea ! Yummy“

“They have the Best Comfort food,
Their Tocino, Lugaw and Tokwat Baboy, Porkchops with Rice, Pinakbet with Bagnet and Chicken popcorn are Amazing.

Also, Mochi Donuts are Absolutely elite in quality, texture of mochi donut is superb.

If you’re looking for that perfect balance of a crisp exterior and a beautifully chewy, bouncy texture inside, this is the spot. I stopped by to grab a half-dozen, and they absolutely crushed it.
​
The shop itself has a super clean, aesthetic layout—perfect for a quick Instagram story before you devour them. The staff was incredibly friendly and packed everything beautifully, ensuring the glazes stayed pristine.“

“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.“

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

“Sweet moment is some of the best desert I've had.
First of all, I LOVE their snowflake series and egg puff. Everything there is so amazing, and everything comes so quickly. Like the name says, it's sweet, and wonderful. The drinks are also so good, and I love the handmade momoko ball and grass jelly toppings. Something else so good about it is that there are so many other good places around it, which means you can get a good lunch and then come right to it. There is also a movie theatre, (Cinemark), quite close to it. It is a little far from my house, but it's definitely worth coming. It fills me up all the time, and is totally my type of desert. At the time of this review there is a little leak in the roof, but that's fine and they've got that under control. There is no doubt that this is one of my favorite places, and it deserves more than five stars.“

“I got a taro milkshake with boba with my father along with a grape lemon slushy! I liked my drink and my Dad didn’t have to pay vey much! We had a great father-daughter outing there! We consider coming back next time.“
