Rose Tea Lounge - Fremont

Best boba milk tea in the bay, especially the golden king oolong and tie guanyin oolong

Atmosphere: 2

Food: 5

If you prefer watered down drinks, come here.

Drinks are so flavorful and don’t use excessive cream and sugar to compensate like other cafes. Worth every dollar! Tried the coconut matcha in this pic

First time trying this place, the milk tea was good, but the popcorn chicken was terrible, the chicken itself tasted like it was already pre-cooked cause it had that rubbery texture, the batter was crumbling and falling off the chicken, I've tasted way better popcorn chicken from other boba shops. Rose TL needs to fix this.

So far, all the drinks have been great, very flavorful and fresh. I've only had some that are on the sweet side.
However, what is wrong with their taste of music? Every song has Sooo much profanity, feels like I'm in the hood. Worse is that there are a lot of young kids around.

Drinks were great, it's was refreshing

The place looks great, clean and chill. It’s a spot you’d feel fine hanging out in for a bit.

Major bonus: they’re dog friendly. That instantly wins points with us since we like bringing our pup along whenever we can.

You order through tablets at the counter, which is pretty normal now. That said, the screens were kind of wobbly. Not a huge issue, just something small that stood out and felt off while ordering.

I got the Ube drink with Ube pudding, and my wife had the Thai Tea. They were both alright, but nothing we’d go out of our way to come back for. Flavors were fine, just not super memorable.

Fries were definitely the most enjoyable thing we had. I went with the cheese spice, which tasted like Cheeto fries. The seasoning was good, but the fries themselves were inconsistent, some crunchy, some soft. Still tasty, but they could probably dial in the cooking time.

All in all, it’s a solid spot. Not perfect, but it has potential. Worth checking out if you're nearby, especially with a dog.

This is My fav place little expensive but it also comes with decently bigger cup but still my today purchase was a disappointment because of my choice to try different one who is Milo flan honey boba milk. It’s totally disappointing though how ever I have 5 stars as my other choices never disappointed me which are non caffeinated only that I always drink
My top choice is Crème brulee
Then comes one taro with cream cheese
Brown sugar milk
So I would go back
To my regular choices as always.
I strongly suggest that this Milo flan boba one should be discontinued as per me

Awesome fruit drink especially Paradise bobba drink that has passion fruit. It's refreshing in summer. Love the ambience.

Wow! One of the best golden oolong tea offering there is out there. Robust substantive with depth and hint of floral, Good job, hope you guys will continue and will not cheapen the quality down the road. Bravo !

Subpar product and delivery, lazy, no quality and consistency control, highly disappointed. Probably end of day left over and water down, carelessness.

I recently visited Rose Tea Lounge and left feeling underwhelmed. I ordered the Brown Sugar Pearl Latte with Black Tea, but unfortunately, I couldn’t taste any tea at all—it just tasted like sweet milk. I asked the staff about it, but they insisted the tea was in there and didn’t offer to remake it. Strangely, my wife ordered a similar drink and hers had a noticeably stronger tea flavor, so it’s clear something was off with mine. While the drinks were visually appealing and the boba was decent, the lack of consistency and dismissive customer service left a bad impression. Not sure I’ll be back anytime soon.

We were very disappointed with this place. We ordered Oolong milk tea with cream cheese foam and Thai tornado. Oolong tasted like water down, sadly no tea flavour at all and I never saw or tasted the cheese foam. Thai tornado tasted like just sugar with milk.
I will never ever come back here and definitely not recommend.

I got a thai iced tea that I really enjoyed! The ambience was great so I hung out and worked there for a bit. Loved the music and as a bonus it smells amazing inside! Definitely will be back

No flavor and drinks tastes like if they were watered down. Chairs are dirty and sticky.

No wonder they have a “conditional pass”sign from food inspection on their doors.

I ordered a hot Golden King Oolong Milk Tea, and I was shocked at how little was in the cup. I expected a full drink or at least 90% full. Definitely not worth it.
