Can tell they just opened. Great location.I enjoyed the heiniken beer 0 percent concoction. It is one the most unique Boba teas I've had. Has a smooth taste.

Seating is fine. Windows are old prefer to have none as all you get is outside noise.
parking lot is okay...friend used the bathroom no complaints.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat land.

My drink tastes like sweet iced Lipton tea with boba. Very odd. Boba is not your typical tapioca boba. It’s like those mochi topping you put on the frozen yogurt. Not bouncy but chewy.
I usually get 50% sugar at all boba shops, but their 50% is too sweet imo. Can’t imagine how sweet 100% would be.

I got the green tea, 0% sugar and brown sugar boba. It was very refreshing on a hot day.

The boba have a nice chew and lightly sweet, not super sweet like other places. It's also a golden color rather than black.

I tried the pineapple black tea as well. The fruit jam was nice and had bits of pineapple on it but it was overall stronger on the sweet side and didn't taste the black tea as much. Also, make sure to turn it upside down and shake well to mix otherwise you will get all the syrup at the bottom. You can't choose sweetness level here.

They have a couple arcade games for a fee in the shop - pacman battle royale and pinball. There's a lot of indoor seating and a couple tables outside as well.

Really love the boba here because it’s fresh and handmade. My partner and I come here quite often. However the service definitely isn’t great. The last time we were here with friends and ordered four drinks. We arrived about 25min before closing time. Three of the drinks came out pretty fast but the last one took a while. We sat in the store and chatted while waiting. Then at 8pm, one the employees, an Asian man with long tied up hair, walked over to us and said “get out we’re closing”. He said it twice before we replied that we’re waiting on the last drink. He didn’t say sorry, just walked over and grabbed a drink from behind the counter. It was very rude and there are better ways to let people know you’re closing especially when they are waiting on their order!

Nice boba shop, wide selection and consistent quality. A little bit pricey.

Order: Caramel Pudding Milk Tea with bobaPerfect, made to order. I ordered mine 50% sweet because this comes with pudding, and I added boba, which both already have sugar. It was delicious. Pudding hit the spot, and boba was not overly chewy or hard. It was the perfect texture and consistency.I am excited to try more flavors next time I am in the area. You can really tell the difference of this "freshly made in-house boba" and "good quality" drink.

One of the most flavorful tapioca pearls I’ve ever had. If you like 100% sweet get 25% or 50% sweetness.

I walked in to order and it was completely silent. No music and some grown man working was just awkwardly standing there waiting for me to complete my order on the kiosk. Very strange atmosphere and kind of uncomfortable. The place was absolutely empty. My drink was good but prob won’t be back.

For a $7 drink, they are not using fresh milk, but some form of milkish powder that tastes artificial. The tea flavor is negligible. The boba is chewy but a bit too sweet for me. The boba also has an artificial/chemical taste that I don’t really like. Quite disappointed.

A very unique brown sugar boba, but a bit difficult for me to chew.

Stopped by for a quick boba with family. Easy parking. Quick kiosk ordering. Milk tea bobas were just ok. Taro was the better of the other 2. I think there is better boba in Cupertino.

REVIEW PREVIEWI am an extremely picky person and probably the most picky person you’ll ever meet. So 4 or 5 out of 5 or anything 7.5 or higher out of 10 is really an achievement for that restaurant. In that case, here is my review, by Nicolas!I would give this restaurant a 7.5/10!!!Even though it was cold and dark outside, it was warm inside Mr. Sun’s boba shack! I got the plain mango smoothie and oh my, it was pretty good! One thing though, is that the cashier/orderer was very slightly passive aggressive, which is hopefully because of the end of the day shift and although it is a reasonable and expectable occurrence, anyone can prevent it. That is why the service was 3/5. This was just one guy, and I’m sure other people are very nice. :)Next, the atmosphere and vibe was chill and cool. The bathroom was SUPER NICE AND CLEAN, and although I did not take a picture of it, it is coated in clean marble, tile, and has a high quality sink. But the toilet flush is loud, sadly. The main negative thing was the one little piece of service from that one guy, and the loud ice cream crusher that you can hear in the whole building. .

Vegetarian options: There are milk and non-milk based drinks

Dietary restrictions: There are sorbet, non-milk, and other ingredients you can choose to remove to make a more customized and allergen-free Boba, smoothie, or drink.

Kid-friendliness: This is basically a liquid ice cream shop, this is super kid friendly, and there are often kids there

Wheelchair accessibility: It can be slightly difficult maneuvering a wheelchair between the seating area, but there is a ramp and outdoor seating. However, it can be a struggle for a wheelchair to be inside the restaurant other than where you order.
