50 Best Bubble Tea near Los Altos

“Their leaf quality is next level. I love the tie guan yin oolong. The boba quality is solid. Staff are friendly. Their matcha latte leaves a lot to be desired. It has an artificially too sweet honey flavor. Can't taste the matcha. It is barely green. Boba bliss has better matcha (Izumi Matcha even better though).“

“Overall, I’ve had a great experience here at teaspoon. My favorite drinks are probably the mango Funtime, strawberry colada, and black sugar assam. Easy 10/10 for all these drinks. They make the drink quite fast too. The average wait is like 3 - 7 minutes. Love coming here!“

“08.14.25 1:45pm Downtown Los Altos on Main St
Toasted Asiago Spinach Bagel w.Cream Cheese = $5.98 total inc tax. Was delicious and fresh. Totally recommend even though it's overpriced!

Service lady was great, thank you to her!

Also, thank you to the delightful Police Officer Gentleman who stopped and took the time to speak with us for about 10 minutes while we were sitting outside of Posh Bagels in the patio set while the officer chased a naughty boy on an electric motorbike (wearing a helmet), which is not allowed there to be operated on the streets. He said there were about 5 police cars chasing this young man as he evaded them throughout downtown :/

Plus, we saw him give a fee tix to a navy blue Tesla, he said it's for parking backwards into the space when it's only forward parking in all of downtown. The sheepish Tesla driver guy came 15 minutes later in a hurry and drove away with the tix still on his windshield, lol. So park the RIGHT way in, head first.

The police officer said mom looked exactly like the lady who tended to the flowers outside of Hiroshi restaurant 2 stores away so now we're curious to see the flower lady for Hiroshi restaurant!“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at UME! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, you can really tell they care about quality and detail. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or something special, UME is a place I’d highly recommend. I’m already looking forward to coming back!“

“If you like matcha latte, you ought to try this place. Their matcha latte reminds me of the super strong matcha ice cream I had at a well known tea house at Kyoto. I can tell they use premium quality of matcha powder to make their drinks. I usually order matcha latte with extra shot, 50% sweetness.“

“We stopped by on a busy Saturday evening and ordered the coconut breeze and the mango mochi coconut pudding. I like how both items taste fresh and not too sweet. The mango is ripe and sweet. The drink had a lot of textures and is well balanced.“

“Wonderful coconut mango drinks, matcha tiramisu combo also delicious. This place is great for boba, and if you don’t like it then you can just go over to the happy lemon in another part of the plaza. Same for vice versa, this place is small though, but you can just drink or eat outside, as there are tables.“

“Everything was great. The brown sugar boba milk tea and oolong teas are very constant and exceptionally delicious. Hands down. With the recent popularity of the shop the wait times are sometimes a bit long, but the online pre-ordering is really convenient.“

“Molly Tea is absolutely amazing! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — especially the boba, which is soft and chewy every time. The staff are super friendly, and the shop has such a cozy, welcoming vibe — definitely a 5-star experience!“

“Went to Chicha San Chen for the first time and was not disappointed. We also got to do a tea tasting with Lucas. He is very knowledgeable on the types of tea they serve and history behind the company and making of the tea and overall gave us a great tea tasting experience!“

“This is my favorite boba! My go to is earl Grey milk tea with boba and herbal jelly and I find it's one of the only places that offer that flavor!!! I also love the seating and I get the popcorn chicken less spice and that is also very good!☃️“

“I love this place! They make the freshest tea and boba every time. Being able to adjust the sweetness level is a big plus. The flavors are always spot on, and the quality is consistent. The inside is so cute too — super cozy and perfect for hanging out. Highly recommend for any boba lover!“

“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!!“

“The only thought--holy heck is the large size large. It's not just large, it's gigantic--they're generous with the boba too AND it's literally always a custom drink where you pick the flavors you want, all for a bit over $6??? The exterior of the store itself threw me off a bit, but the interior (and the menu board) are pretty cool.“

“Mr. Sun’s Boba has been my FAVORITE café in the Bay Area since December 2023. I love Mr. Sun Tea because (1) the ambiance is welcoming and perfect for both reading and working (2) the boba is healthy. The tapioca pearls are made FRESH in-house daily, without any chemicals or artificial additives.

My go-to order is the RAINBOW Boba Milk Tea with three flavors of boba. I love it so much that I also order Mr. Sun for my gatherings and catering needs.“

“I have tried the tea and it's one of the kind, price is so reasonable for a large size, you need to try when you are around the area, words can't describe until you have tasted the tea and judge for yourself.... highly recommended.“

“My favorite “chagee” style tea place, including chagee XD!! I think it has the strongest tea flavor and the milk doesn’t overwhelm. Plus, they seem to use fresh ingredients and take the process seriously! I particularly enjoy the long Jing and the jasmine milk tea!!“

“You order on a digital pad at the front, and before you know it—your drink appears. Super fast and efficient. The menu is huge—tons of options. We kept it simple (no boba; not doing that anymore—too much junk), and what we got was fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot. Not cheap, but what is these days? Overall, a solid spot. Would return“

“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 delightful find in Mountain View - local favorite boba place that has won Best of Mountain View awards several years in a row. Bobas are super soft and chewy! I would like my Hazelnut milk tea with stronger tea flavor and my husband’s Dark Plum smoothie to be slightly sweeter at 50% sweet. Not too many sweetness levels in some drinks - it’s either 100% or 50%, prices more reasonable than other boba places.“

“Great place and very nice! I wanted to grab the Fruits Basket drinks and get my sticker! I would definitely visit again! 💜“

“Very cute spot, quick service, sweet staff, and great flavor options. They have two ordering screens inside and sweetness level is adjustable now (previously wasn’t based on other reviews). I’ve been there twice and had a lovely experience both times.“

“The cups at this place is the main appeal with them giving you glass cups that you can keep. They also sold their own cups with anime related art on them. The drinks themselves were ok. But there wasn't much space to sit and do work, with not much outlets and the counter was a little dirty. There were also some boxes visible which made it looks a little messy.“

“Stopped by Tea Top after dim sum.

I ordered the strawberry green tea with boba. Tea flavor was ok, but boba was a bit inconsistent.

Overall, ok spot. Would be open to trying it again to see if it was a one-off issue.

Parking in the plaza can get busy during peak hours.“

“Our friend's favorite for tea, we got hot milk tea this time with 25% sugar. We saw a flan with a cute jar. The tea arrived quickly as we sat in the corner eating our snacks. It got a bit noisy after more people arrived after their dinner so we sat outside. The flan was ok, more jello style vs. egg custard. Service was nice.“

“Yummy delicious and super cool 😎“

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

“Knowledgeable staff helped me find a new favorite tea. Prices are a bit steep, but worth it.“

“The cashier was awesome, so was the one who made our drinks. This location is small but they have regulars coming in. It got busy real quick but it was a hot day, so still worth the wait.
My sister got the Avocado Avalanche 🥑 and I had the New Coconut Matcha 🥥🍵 both with the honey boba! Highly recommend them! They were blended well and tasted delicious! Would come back if I'm in the area.“

“The jasmine milk tea and watermelon slush are my fav! I love our smooth and fragrant their tea is!

Also the workers are friendly. The girlie working today was especially sweet! So attentive and had such sunny vibes ☀️ made my jasmine milk tea perfectly“

“really like the donuts, especially at this café. The dough is just right, with a rich flavor and an extraordinary shape that makes it easy to eat. It's also very pleasant to sit outside and have a coffee. The decor is all pink and very pleasant, and the staff greets you with a smile. I highly recommend it.“

“This is my favorite spot that have to stop by whenever I am in the area. The drink quality is consistently good and strong tea flavor. The only thing I wish they were more flexible about is customizing the ice. I usually order one extra drink with no ice, since want to save it for my long drive back to LA. understand that the drinks are made according to their set formula, so the liquid doesn't fill the cup all the way, but they still don't offer a no-ice option. That said, the staff is always super kind and helpful, and they gave me extra ice on the side so could keep my drink cold for the drive. It was a thoughtful solution!“

“Most excellent waffles - they were actually crunchy and tasty, not chewey and bland (my usual experience with waffles in the US). Service was fairly fast, but we did go when it wasn't busy, so YMMV on that front.

No place to sit and eat - it's takeout only.“

“Love Tan-Cha. Great drink and great service 🥰🥰🥰“

“Great food and drink♥️ I love“

“absolutely love Tong Sui! The coconut pudding is a must-try—light, silky, and so addictive—and their signature Coco drinks are refreshing and unique. Every time I visit, the drinks are consistently high quality and the service is warm and friendly. Definitely a spot worth coming back to again and again!“

“We usually eat here and it is very good. The meat are fresh and the soup base is tasty unlike others“

“Was looking for a boba spot/something sweet after having dinner in this plaza and TeaTop was just about to close. They have a wide variety of drinks and toppings, as well as games and seating inside. Lately green milk teas with boba have been my go to and they really have been giving me a caffeine boost and keeping me awake when I need it. So I got their Signature Alpine Green Milk Tea with boba, less sweet with less sugar. I really enjoyed it. The workers were very kind, quick, and friendly. Nice spot to hang out with friends, I also like how they post their top drinks on the menu and the walls. My friends got some other drinks that were also really good. Something with egg pudding and red bean. Parking is super easy since it’ located within a shopping plaza.“

“Not my face, but a friend of mine showed me this picture of the famous singer Jay Chou drinking this tea brand and mention how we have one in Sunnyvale, so we got curious and tried it out = definitely no disappointment !!!

Jay Chou makes great mandarin music, just like he has good tastebuds for tea!

Delicious drinks!
Cold Mango Mountain is so refreshing.
Hot Honey Lemon Oolong is very soothing.

When you look at the rest of their menu, it’s authentic Taiwanese flavors.

Great staff and cute store!

You can park in the garage
and theirs space on the other side too!“

“I had such a lovely experience here! I stopped by last week while doing laundry next door, honestly in a pretty bad mood. Kelly (I think she’s the owner?) greeted me with such kindness and even offered me a complimentary Oreo smoothie — it completely turned my day around!

When I came back this week, I was so surprised and touched that she still remembered me. The drinks are refreshing and delicious, but it’s the amazing customer service and genuine smile that really make this place special. Highly recommend!“

“Was surprised to see another location since I usually go to the Pleasanton one!
Service awesome like always and amazing tea didn't disappoint! The lychee was perfect with the handmade mango boba!!!
I will be back now that I know this place is here!“

“I recommend people to try all drinks their very much delicious every topping is fire I love how they close late at night decent time keep up the good work guys !!!❤️🙏🤩“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had such a wonderful experience here! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and inviting. Not only did we get to enjoy some of the best drinks we’ve had in a long time, but we also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly kind, hospitable, and passionate about what they do.

We tried a variety of drinks, and each one was fantastic in its own way—refreshing, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients and care. You can really tell that thought and creativity go into each recipe. Every sip left us impressed and already talking about which ones we want to try on our next visit.

What made the experience even more special was the genuine hospitality. The owner took the time to chat with us, share some background on the drinks, and make sure we felt right at home. It’s rare to find that level of connection and pride in both the product and the people who walk through the door, but this place has it in spades.

All in all, this was more than just grabbing a drink—it was an experience. If you’re looking for a spot that serves fantastic drinks and makes you feel like family, this is the place. We’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!“

“I love Tiger Milk Tea & strawberry milk tea there“

“I love Teaspoon. There has been a couple new places with tea popping up around my house and I try them but always end up going back to Teaspoon since nowhere else seems to live up to them. They have a nice selection and they're fast and the people are nice. If you find yourself around the area and craving some boba...this is the place!“

“Great Wraps & Drinks

I recently visited Tapioca Express for the first time and had an amazing chicken wrap paired with an avocado smoothie. The staff was friendly and ensured my smoothie had less ice, making it perfectly refreshing. On another visit, I tried the wrap again—it was just as great—but the chicken popcorn wasn’t very impressive. We also tried a few other drinks, which were quite good.

Overall, this place offers tasty food, good drinks, and even a student discount. Definitely a must-try for a quick bite or refreshing drink!“

“Tried the signature tea with chia seeds and really enjoyed it! The flavor was clean, refreshing, and not overly sweet — just the right balance of tea and fruit. The chia added a nice texture without feeling heavy like boba. The shop itself is bright and cozy, with a relaxed vibe that makes it a nice spot to hang out or take a short break downtown. Service was friendly and quick, and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. Overall, a solid boba stop in Palo Alto — I’ll definitely be back to try more of their drinks!“

“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!“

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