50 Best Bubble Tea near Menlo Park

“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!“

“I go here all the time- since I go to the middle school down the road it’s very convenient. I ALWAYS get this drink- Strawberry lemonade, normal sweetness, no/less ice, 2x lychee jelly, 1x mango jelly. It’s always so good every time! The tofu cubes are not good but I don’t like tofu in general so that’s just me. It doesn’t take too long- but really depends on how busy it is. The staff is nice but doesn’t talk much. The atmosphere is nice too! I love the vibes of this place. I don’t get tapioca boba but the lychee and mango jelly is so good, especially if you love jello or stuff like that. It’s chewy but not too chewy, and very sweet. I recommend if you like fruity/sweet drinks.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 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“

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

“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 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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“Yummy delicious and super cool 😎“

“this place's honey boba was surprisingly soft! as for the drink, pretty standard taste for what you pay for, but honestly the consistency of the tapioca boba blew me away. it doesn't have an oddly hard center like many other cheap-ish boba places, and for that i applaud tpumps!“

“Enjoying my boba during this hot day👍“

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

“Black sugar milk tea ! Yummy“

“Tried the coconut grass jelly milk tea with 30% sugar, I don't have sweet teeth so it is still a little bit sweet, otherwise it is pretty good, the toppings are very fresh and you can taste the coconut quite a bit. There are also a lot of seats inside, clean, can hangout with friend there.“

“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.“

“The bingsoo is so yummy! People are so friendly.“

“Good experience and easy to order (kiosk or at the counter). Staff prepare drinks quickly and they do have good options.

They pride themselves on fresh ingredients that are house made. Not sure if this extends to their toppings, but I've appreciated their fruit drinks in the past.

On the more expensive side for boba and they do provide quality cups and the option between plastic and bamboo straws.“

“We highly recommend shopping and eating in this plaza.

We needed help from the plaza owner due to someone hitting our car and he was so fast to help get us footage and caring.

Truewin is absolutely delicious! We love their fluffy pancakes especially the strawberry and chocolate. My mom loved the chewy boba too.“

“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).“

“Great food and drink♥️ I love“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“I go here all the time for their claw machines, unique drinks, and MUCH cheaper coconut pudding than places like Tong Sui (hate to start competition but it must be said). The customer service, always very nice ladies working behind the counter! Their drinks I love too, especially the mango coconut pudding drink. Lots of lower reviews of how slow this business runs is not true. Only once did that happen to me in 3 years of going there, and it is important to understand that I always see that workers behind the counter trying to handle it the best they could! They don’t slack off!“

“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 !!!❤️🙏🤩“

“I love the passion fruit tea! You have to try it!!!!“

“+ Great variety of choices for brunches (sandwiches, bagels, rice plates, etc, rice balls) and beverages (coffee, tea, boba, etc)
+ Loved the omelet. Light and fresh taste. Not over-flavored like many other brunch places.
+ Quiet and low key atmosphere

- Hojicha was too sweet.“

“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!“

“I love that Gong Cha is expanding their stores into my locality. Getting my favorite pearl milk tea had never been easier!“

“Overall pretty good. Went on a weekend on Saturday around 3pm. There was a pretty big wait with people crowding outside waiting for orders. They have a QR code you can scan outside or you can order inside. We tried the strawberry milk tea 30% sweet and that was good for us. The wait was about 15 min though until it was ready. Longer than some other boba tea places. Price is around $5-6. Also parking can be tricky.“

“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!“

“When I want fruit tea, I usually stop by this shop as I think it has ond of the best and I am another mistaken, it was the first one that introduced it during pandemic. I have been visiting this store many times before. It is small shop where you order from the touch screen kiosk. It has space to stand if you want to have the drink inside. This shop usually not busy compare to other boba shop around Downtown area. Usually the drink was ready pretty quickly.“

“Very festive tea and light eats place. Teas, boba's, smoothies, food and dessert. My daughter brought me here after school and I was pleasantly surprised. Couches, tables beautiful decor. If you like tea or boba I'd highly recommend this place.“

“Consider this a 3.5. The boba was off but good, the taste really, it was chewy and firm. The tea was good (I got less sweet but regular would have been fine as someone who likes little to no sugar in tea. The staff were very friendly and upfront. There was a reasonable amount of ice in the drink. The price was average.“

“Delicious lychee and fruity teas served promptly in a small shop.“

“非常好吃，超愛煉乳銀絲卷“

“炸物、餐點都很有水準，非常有台灣味！極力推薦“

“太棒了，肉品沒吃多少，倒是吃了好幾磅的櫻桃🍒“

“I love brown sugar milk tea“

“Very professional and patient staff. I watched a difficult and aggressive customer try to intimidate the staff. They responded calmly, while still offering to help the difficult customer with an order.
I recommend people support this small business“

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

“Tasty boba with good variety, but pricey. The slushes often don't let you adjust sugar and it can be quite sweet. Really great store vibes. Definitely recommend the creme brulee pudding for the extra dollar if you can spare the calories!“

“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!“

“The guy at the front was super nice and kindly explained that all my drink orders were out or had an ingredient missing. This wasn’t bad though because I wanted to try something new, and when I didn’t end up liking it, he was able to give me a fresh new drink. Great customer service, great interior, and good place to just hang out.“

“I come to T4 so much because I can't seem to get enough of the Mango Fanactics drink.

It is coconut infused with Mango and I normally get it with lychee jelly. You can't adjust the sugar level though, but I still love it.

I will continue to come all the time, and it deserves 5 stars.“

“This is one of the closest hotpot place to Stanford. We chose a two-person package for $89, including 2 bobas, two plates of beef, one plate of lamb and seafood, one plate of noodles and vermicelli, one plate of tofu, and one sweet. That's more than enough food but we finished it!Unique small individual pot, only wish it was sunk in the table. It has the basic sauces and spices, wish there is more.“

“Love this place good place for drinks“
