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!“

“This was our first time here and everything we ordered were so refreshing and delicious! Wife ordered the salted coco crunch and I got the mango sticky rice coco pudding. Not too sweet. (Not sweet enough for me but the wife loves it). Great atmosphere to hang out!“

“We've been here multiple times and its one of my girlfriend's favorite spots to get matcha from as they're very consistent. Today there was only one young woman working the front and there were literally 20+ people inside and she stayed composed and made everyone's drinks and didn't falter. I hope she isn't left alone like that again, but definitely props to her. Definitely worth the wait.“

“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!“

“This boba shop was absolutely wonderful! We tried their mango match bubble tea, 2 popcorn chicken varieties, and the new menu items of taro milk pudding. They were delicious.

Staff were especially kind and welcoming. We felt like VIP even though this was our first time visiting here. Their service was also fast and professional.“

“Huge shoutout to Justin for being so helpful! I came in looking for a unique thermal bottle and left with the cutest bunny-themed one—complete with a tea infuser, which is perfect for a tea lover like me. I even grabbed an adorable bunny decoration to match. UME always has such fun finds, and I can’t wait to see what new swag you’ll have next time!“

“Came here on my way back from an event, and I'm not usually in the area. Also came here because there was a TooGoodToGo (2g2g) and thought I'd pick up for it.

I also purchased two drinks from here, one large milk tea, and one rose hip milk tea + matcha cloud. The rose hip milk tea was at 70% sweetness. A little on the sweeter side than I thought, but still very enjoyable. The flavor itself was strong enough to balance out the tea, and not necessarily overpower it. The cloud added a nice consistency and level of flavor to the drink overall.

The prices for these drinks seem very affordable to me. I'm happy the extra fun options were nothing to stretch my wallet over.

Drew (owner) told me that he'd just opened the store 3 months ago, and I hope it does well! I know I'm not in the area often, but hope if I'm ever nearby, I can nab another drink. He seems to have a good rapport with his staff, and good demeanor to customers, which certainly adds to the experience.

He told me he'd been rated low on 2g2g. He'd given me the option of picking what I wanted for drinks (2 large or 3 smalls), and then gave me a variety of flavors to choose from. The main low rating I saw on 2g2g in regards to this store was variety of drinks. In my opinion, getting 2 flavors for one trip is completely fine for a 2g2g pick up. Half the purpose of 2g2g is to help the restaurant/store with slow moving stock. I hope people stop rating this store low on 2g2g, because it doesn't deserve to be anything less than 4.5 in my opinion.“

“I had a tea tasting experience by Lucas. It was a great session to know different tea's taste. He guided the details of the each level of mature leaf and explained very well. We enjoyed the tea tasting experience a lot! The bubble tea was so great as well!“

“This tea cafe has been around for a while. I like the quality of the green tea and the location in the Downtown Mountain View makes it a good place to visit after a meal. For a long while, it has more reasonable and lower price than other boba tea shops. Lately its price has unfortunately increased too.“

“Nos gustan todos los sabores, estamos un poco adictos a las bebidas.“

“I ordered premium jasmine milk tea and pistachio matcha coco, omg the tastes are so fantastic. This place is modern-style tea, super floral and fragrant tea aroma. Also the sweetness tastes really natural, I didn't need adjust the milk much, so it doesn’t make me feel sick after drinking. The employees also very nice. Highly recommended“

“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“

“This is another Fremont location of Ume Tea, which is at Pacific Commons. The atmosphere is quite different compared to the one that’s near Newpark Mall. I actually didn’t really know about it until I walk past by it when I was getting coffee.

I really like how boba tea comes in few different sizes compared to other boba shops, which usually serves boba in taller cups. There’s not much plentiful of options here, but not every boba shop needs to have that.

This is a convenient location for me if I ever to stop by at Pacific Commons and want to get boba here.“

“My favorite tea spot in the bay. If you want high quality tea freshly made from loose tea leaves full of aroma, this is the place for you. My favorite is their dragon well milk tea. I cannot go to other tea places after I have it. They don’t have the hypes like Heytea or Molly tea but their tea is way better in my opinion. Give it a try and you will be able to tell the difference!“

“If you like Asian-style milk teas, boba, etc. this place is pretty good! My family and my brother’s family were at Home Depot across the street and wanted something to drink besides soda. Tpumps was across the street. There were sooo many flavors to choose from and the boba were prepared just right (not too firm or mushy). Good to know as I was visiting the area and past milk tea places I visited were just so-so. I’ll def go there again!“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This has some of the best house milk tea ever.
First of all, it is super sweet and milky, and the boba is super good. I love the taste so much, and it isn’t too much which is good. Definitely coming back, so glad I found this spot.“

“Tea Top is absolutely my Go-to place when I crave for a good boba milk tea. The location is ideal - close to my work office, easy parking. The service is always great. I want to make a special mention to Jackie their lovely staff. Jackie is simply amazing - joyful, courteous, professional and she makes you want to visit the store again!“

“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.“

“Great drinks with delicious coconut jelly desserts too. You can sample their coconut jelly which is very refreshing and not too sweet. The drinks are great too, tried the taro and it tasted great with real taro. The interior is small with limited seats and the staff are very friendly and helpful.“

“I heard Cupertino has all of the best boba spots and that Fantasia was an original popular spot for boba. Located in the Ranch99 plaza it can get busy and parking may be a little difficult but there’s a parking garage across the parking lot from the store. They have some indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed my boba and I got their Jasmine Milk Tea with boba (50% sweet), and I got my friends Jasmine Mill Tea regular sweetness to go and dropped it off for them. My friends all got different drinks - grapefruit, white peach, taro, etc and all really enjoyed it! They have a bathroom for customers and some other food and pastries that they sell there. Service was great, very quick and efficient. It was raining that Sunday evening and we were lucky to get a table. Nice spot for people to hang out and meet up.“

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

“We are local, started coming to this shop as it was brand new and we love coming here fairly every week. The staff was always friendly, and the drinks were good. The price for the drinks is fair and is one of the only reasons why we visit Murphy Street.

We apologize and thought the price wasn't fair due to us being mislead of the prices on Google, claiming it to be more expensive, hopefully it'll update more accurately with the in-person pricing.“

“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.“

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

“My friends and I visited this store to chat. We ordered the bubble milk tea and the Oolong Milk tea. Our drinks arrived really quick and tasted really good. The atmosphere is perfect for work or hanging with friends. The interior is really aesthetic and there are many tables and seats available to use.“

“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.“

“Yummy delicious and super cool 😎“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 give this boba 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! I ordered the Mango Chamoy Delight with mango popping boba, and it was so refreshing and full of flavor—sweet, tangy, and perfect. The two ladies working there were so nice and patient while I was waiting, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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 !!!❤️🙏🤩“

“Amazing place for fruit smoothies. I would 100% recommend giving the coconut avocado smoothie a try, it was so delicious and it’s pretty large in size for how much it is. Waiting time wasn’t too crazy if you ordered ahead, but do expect it take a little longer than other places because it is real fruit smoothies. The carrying bag and cup is high quality and unique aswell. I didn’t have the best experience with the strawberry avocado smooth, strawberry was very bland and it sweet at all. But overall had a great experience 👍“

“Great food and drink♥️ I love“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!“

“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!“
