Don't come here for coffee unless it's an emergency. I don't understand how a food and beverage service with "artisanal tea and coffee" on their sign doesn't serve anything other than a single dark roast coffee. I also couldn't get a LARGE coffee. I got the look like "huh?"

This 7 Leaves location is super chill! It's not super busy on the weekend like the other San Jose location I've been to. Nice modern interior with lots of tables to study or work. My go to drink is the mung bean milk tea. Just as an fyi, the drink does have a bit of a grainy texture from the mung bean. The Vietnamese coffee was pretty strong and could be a little sweeter in my opinion. Both of our drinks (large and small) had lots of ice in it, almost half the cup. I suggest getting less ice because my mung bean was watered down towards the end.

I wish there was a 7 Leaves closer to my house, but these 15-20 minute trips are worth it at this plaza! I come get 7 Leaves after at HiroNori Craft Ramen since they're in the same plaza (which is a ramen place I also recommend and have reviewed on my profile)! Inside has ambient lighting and many seats. There are people here studying. The cashier was quick to assist me. I ordered a large Japanese Matcha Soy Tea with honey boba, regular sweet and regular ice. The matcha taste was pretty strong and the boba was the perfect texture. It wasn't too chewy but also wasn't too soft. 7 Leaves also has a secret menu that I want to try out in the future whenever I come back and that you should consider checking out too.

I have been a 7 leaves fan since the first one opened up in Socal so of course I frequent this location when I'm in the area. One thing I've noticed across the different 7 leaves locations I've been to is the drinks are consistent. I usually place my order through the app since I know that it can be quite busy, but I have placed an order through the cashier many times. They are always timely with my order and the staff is pretty on top of coming out to take my order if they're in the back for some reason. My go-to order is the jasmine milk tea, less sweet, with honey boba but I do like their soy matcha and the house coffee. I've also tried the Brazilian lemonade which was surprising yet tasty and their black and tan which is a coffee and milk tea drink. I saw that they do half gallon jugs now so I'm going to have to come back to try and grab some for my family and friends for parties or gatherings.The place has a nice aesthetic and it seems like a solid choice for studying or a casual catch up with friends. I like that even when it's busy, it's not super loud and it seems like a nice place to sit and drink a good drink.

Assam Milk tea with or without Boba is fantastic. I usually inhale this in about 5 minutes.The Vietnamese coffee (hot) is a good strong cup of coffee. I am hooked!Oh just an FYI, I have a huge sweet tooth however the easy sweet option is still pretty sweet for me.

Chill vibe makes this a great place to study or work. Not a lot of conversation seems to go on at the tables. Service is fast and friendly.Try mixing flavors; house coffee and mung bean milk tea are a pretty awesome combination!Parking: There's generally parking available since it's on the other side of the lot from 99 Ranch and the rest of Vallco Village.

Very modern and clean store. It's very convenient Vince it's a few blocks away from work. Opening at 0700 is a little late for a coffee shop. I hope they can open slightly earlier since I have to be at work at 0700z. This store in one of the newer locations, hence very clean. Only thing I would like to see improvement on is that, when I asked for light ice, they still fill my cup with ice half full. Don't be so stingy they make a ton of money on a cup of coffee already, just reduce the amount on my coffee. Sometimes I can't finish my coffee and the ice dilutes the drink badly.P.S.I didn't pay attention, I got my kids two sunset passion with boba, my son noticed that the drink had nearly any boba in the cup. If I didn't started driving, I could of taken a picture to show how little the boba was in the cup, maybe two table spoons full. I paid extra for the topping too... there's a huge margin for profit on tea and coffee... disappointing...

Mung Bean Milk Tea -- this tastes like a filipino dessert called halo halo to me! It is a liquified version of halo halo. Its very creamy. There is a thick consistency which includes the beans.Sea Cream Jasmine Tea -- the jasmine flavored tea is very strong. Its not too sweet even at 100% sweetness. The boba was normal, it wasn't as chewy or fresh like I usually like my boba. The order quickly came out right away after talking to the waiter. At night time there were a lot of people using the tables most of them look like students.

Visited 7Leaves Cafe for Halloween . They had their delightful Halloween decorations. Our group went all out with costumes, eager to take advantage of the BOGO offer for the occasion.I ordered their Taro milk tea and jasmine milk tea. Both were good. I have been craving for some good taro milk tea and this reminded me of one of the best ones I had. The service was impressively quick, and the staff was courteous. I'll be returning here on my next visit!"
It's about time I wrote a review for 7 leaves since I used to come here so frequently. My usual drink is the House Coffee, but since it's Nov 1 (aka Christmas-time), we had to try the Santa's House Coffee which is basically their take on a peppermint mocha. In short, I love love love loved it!!!!! I'm already a huge fan of Peppermint mocha season at Starbucks and this tasted just as good (if not better), was iced and very creamy. I will 100% be draining my bank account here for the next couple months while they have this drink.And once they don't I'll go back to the house coffee which is still pretty good and if it's a rough day or work/studying, maybe add a few free extra shots (Yes FREE!). I personally am not the biggest fan of their milk teas, but I do like the occasional Sunset passion or strawberry sunset every now and then. Another huge plus about this location for me is the amount of seating inside. The other location on Saratoga has minimal seating, but this one has a long concrete table and many smaller tables scattered around. It's actually a pretty great place to come study/do work!

My son really likes this place but it's got a small menu and I've tried one drink that looked interesting and didn't like it. I didn't notice anything on the menu I'd like to try tonight when my son asked me to bring him again.I wish they had decaffeinated milk tea. I'd definitely order that!

I have really like the drinks that I've ordered here each time, and I like that the drinks here seem larger than at other places with similar price points. I ordered a regular mung bean drink, as I was feeling pretty adventurous, but the taste wasn't too sweet, it was milky, and super nostalgic. The drink was really creamy, so even though I got the less sweet option, it was difficult to finish in one sitting. I loved the strawberry hibiscus, and the boba is a perfect consistency. This one is really refreshing and light. The cafe itself is super cute, and can be a good spot to do work, but it does get pretty loud, so it can be hard to concentrate.

Wet for a friend who adores " Boba ." Frankly, I find it caloric and just fadish!
