“I just love Mr. Green Bubble, and the Menlo Park location did not disappoint this past Sunday. The strawberry smoothie had the perfect consistency, sweet and creamy, and not too thick, just delightful. But they offer so much more than delicious fruit flavored smoothies. The genmeicha tea was satisfying, the popcorn chicken had great spice and was served hot and crispy, the oreo egg puff and chocolate egg puff were freshly made and had a nice chocolatey muffin-like texture inside (though I prefer the mochi waffles a little more). Ordering at the self-order kiosk was easy, drinks were ready in less than 5 minutes, and the food took about 15 minutes. Employee interaction was almost nonexistent and unnecessary, and we enjoyed our treats in an inviting indoor space decorated with lovely green artwork.“

“After a wonderful lunch with family, while we enjoy our walk at downtown, Tong sui catch our attention, so we decide to give it a try. The server is really nice and help us for the selection.We got Da hong pau tea latte and Osmanthus oolong tea latte. We both getting 50% sweetness (recommended) and less ice.Saw the special menu will come back again to try it.“
“I would highly recommend the black sesame with coconut filling birthday cake. It is so yummy and not sweet. Great and friendly customer service. I have ordered the same birthday cake two months in a row. This will be my Go To place for getting birthday cakes. Please support our local restaurants.“
“I like this place. Came here with some friends and instantly thought, "This is it, one of the rumored 3rd places to hang and chill." I had a good time here one evening with friends as the vibe felt very cozy. People were having, studying, and we were boardgaming. Given the opportunity, I would come here anytime I want to hang in person with friends.You do have to make a purchase to stay here but I thought it was fine for the time I spent here.“
“This is a really spacious location compared to other locations they have in the area. Many tables for seating! A few people were waiting for their drinks and socializing. Cozy little spot. This is conveneient across from Ramen Nagi and Son & Garden as well.I recommend the Mango Mochi Coconut Pudding and the Jasmine Coconut Pudding! These are my favorites, but definitely get pricey. For drinks, my go-to is the Da Hong Pao (DHP) Latte with Jelly! Very fragrant tea, but still creamy from the milk. A well balanced milk tea.“
“I love verde and I used to go to the cupertino one all the time as a kid before it closed. My boyfriend and I come here all the time for the nostalgia.The drinks are still amazing and the popcorn chicken is delicious!Our fav is strawberry jasmine milk tea :)“
“Best boba I have ever had! I had the Creme Brulee Latte (also had black tea added to it) and it was so tasty! The boba pearls were so soft and chewy. The foam on top was delicious. I love that they use organic milk, which was the main reason I came. I can’t wait to come back and try more drinks.“
“One of my go to Boba places in Redwood City. They have consistent quality tea drinks with chewy boba. They also have long hours of operation Great for a late night boba. I usually have the jasmine green tea. They also have good coconut milk, tea with red bean topping. There's no place to sit but it's right in front of Redwood city Hall.“
“I would want to award this fantastic restaurant in the SF Bay region ten stars since the superior service makes me feel extremely warm, and this is the greatest spot to get real authentic Taiwanese cuisine in the East Bay!“

“I'm surprised by this Pink Pink. My experience in the Santa Clara location was so bad, I swore to never get it again. They sell soft serve/froyo here?! It's really yummy - totally would get again. I asked for a sample and they gave me a small cup. Peach oolong milk tea was good. Boba was chewy. Drink had a lot of creamer though...would tone it down. Overall, I would not be opposed to coming here again and trying their other drinks!“
“Pros: Nice atmosphere, pink decorations (!) and there are tables inside. The tea we got was ok, and you self-order in a table that gives you many options to make your selection as preferred.Cons: It took quite long to get the order ready, even though there was no line.“
“I've always liked happy lemon since their taste of all the happy lemon drinks in different branches have always stayed consistent. It's my first time at this particular location & I came at a slow time during mid day which is nice since the other locations I've been usually gets packed. The ambiance of this location is so nice since it's so clean inside & it's located near a lot of different food chains. Totally would go back to this location.“
“Today I ordered a roasted barley milk tea for myself and a passion fruit green tea for my friend. They tasted refreshing and are very affordable! The service has always been friendly and efficient. I’ll definitely stop by again next time I’m in downtown Mountain View. :)“
“I think this place is very nice and welcoming. The food was amazing as well. There is nothing I would say is bad about this place. My mom brought me here as like a mother daughter date and I think it was a great choice. I see a lot of families eating here and celebrating. The service was great.Kid-friendliness: There are many kids that I have seen here.“
“Good Boba place. The Boba drinks and fruit tea drinks are good. Only a little too sweet (I ordered 25% sweetness but it still was a bit too sweet for my taste so if you usually order 50% sweetness somewhere else, order 25% here maybe). What I liked the most was their cakes, I bought Tiramisu treasure and sea salt pearl and they were yummy! The chiffon cakes were very soft with the yummy toppings. The staff was very helpful also.Parking: Mall parking“
“Phenomenal, simply put. We tried the oolong, thai, and frozen butter beer. We all loved it. Service is great, they have great selection. They have dairy free options.Vegetarian options: Dairy free optionsParking: Some parking in the front and paid street parking.“
“I love this place as it offers one of the best Selections of Sizzling plates.You may choose your own type of meat (chicken-beef-fish with a side of veggies) or add on an appetizer.I also loved their hawaaiian plate with BBQ galbi,rice and macaroni.My ultimate favorite here is Beef Kimchi sizzling plate, calamari,walnut shrimp and crispy chicken,mango green tea,basic crispy french fries, etc.But im not a fan of potstickers though.Plus this place is super clean,with a clean bathroom as well.Servers are very attentive and approachable.I will definitely try other snacks and dish next time“
“One of my friend celebrated her birthday and this is her blowout celebration. Everybody got their own version, I got the Lamb Hot Pot, my wife got Japanese Miso, the celebrant got All Vegetarian, a couple shared Curry Beef, the celebrants husband got Beef Sacha and our last friend got Seafood Lobster Pot. The serving is generous and very good tasting hot pot soups, lots of vegetables and condiments. Very good for a winter December dinner. Everybody enjoyed their dinner and had an excellent dinner experience. Will visit again given a chance.Vegetarian options: There is an All Vegetarian hot pot soup that every vegetarian would appreciate and enjoy.“
“TLDR: high quality tasty tea with great bobaI got the tie guan yin milk tea with boba for $6 and it came out within 2 minutes. The milk tea was silky and creamy, the boba was soft and chewy. The tea flavor was very strong and even at 50%, the sweetness was a bit strong but still very good and enhanced the flavor of the drink. Would definitely come back to try some other drinks“
“When Tiger Tea opened, I thought "does San Mateo really need another boba place?" I was wrong. We had a craving for Thai Tea and popped into Tiger Tea. Also saw their Avocado shake and was intrigued since I've only seen these at Viet restaurants. Both drinks were fantastic Thai tea had a strong tea flavor with just enough sweetness at 75% 5/5 Avocado shake was very refreshing, creamy and sweet 5/5“
“A new group share food experience -- Korean bingsoo with shaved skim milk, glazed mango and strawberry, condensed milk poured on top. It had a light fine texture and taste more simple, compared to Philippine halohalo with very sweet preserved fruits and beans mixed with shaved ice, ube ice cream and milk. Family shared two bowls with a side order of wings. Well presented light and cold dessert on a warm day.“
“Nice and friendly staff! Got the last mochi donut. Come before 4PM on weekends if you want to have flavor options. Best mochi donut in the area. Stir-fry boba is great texture but on the sweet side. They have crystal boba as well if you don't want sweet. Great instagram photo spots inside and outside the store!“
“Looking for something different with a nice view ? girls in bikini if that is offensive I apologize but it's a reality here drinks are for the most part good but the women working are the real reason you go maybe not a place to go with kids or family.“
“Addicted to their new heniken 0% beer drink. It has a very smooth rich profile that blends the flavors of a good brew with a fine lime green tea. Very unique flavor based on about 10yr of Boba enjoyment . Love it. It's a reason it's signature. I had 2 if not 3. Great way to cool down and I'm sure the rest of the drinks are just as great.Seating is good and it can get crowded. There is online ordering and kiosk.Parking: Park a block away at the street lots. No parking on this busy street. Plus side it's very walkable.“
“Boba had a good texture, though it could be chewier, and was barely sweet, which is my preference.You can get drinks without sugar and ice, and they don't give you less liquid.They have cold brew coffee and coffee milk teas.I was excited that they had drinkable mochi but it was way too sweet and a little grainy/gritty. Sadly I will have to go back to Ume for my drinkable mochi cravings.“
“Very tasty boba, well made with great portions.The employees were very nice. Not very much sitting or standing room available. Will have to sit outside somewhere around the public seating closer to parking area. You will likely need to order at the kiosk that does not take cash.“
“This is one of my favorite tea/boba places. They have a great variety of drinks that you don't see at many other places. It's a small place with no indoor seating. You order on a tablet and the staff make everything in a timely manner. I tried the egg pancake for the first time and it was delicious. I loved that it is shaped like a boba drink! My go to is the mango pomelo sago because it is the perfect combo of sweet and tart. I definitely recommend anything from here though.“
“This review is for the drinks only. This Boba shop has mini Boba options. So far I have tried the Rose black Milk Tea. It was good. Then got the classic milk tea w sea salt cream, coco jelly & red beans with 0% sweet because I know the red bean is coated with sugar water. It was really good. How do you recommend the drinks? However, I got the popcorn chicken and it was not good, super oily, and it tasted old. Had to buy said I threw the whole thing away.“
“Got an oreo cheesecake smoothie and korean bbq fries which were both delicious. Server offered boba and I said sure but they still forgot to add it lol but I didn’t mind. The music was super loud? Otherwise the atmosphere was cool. They have games to play which would make a nice hang out.“
“This is a small boba milk tea place in sequoia station. You just walk in and order. There's no place to sit. I ordered the mango milk tea with 50% sweetness and light ice. It was actually better than I expected. It was under $6 (which seems about right). I think I'll go back to try other flavors.“
“My family and I came here on recommendation from another friend that loves Boba. Parking sucks! My family and I were driving in three separate cars, since we just came from dim sum in Millbrae, and trying to find a spot with all of us in the same area was ridiculous on a Sunday afternoon afternoon! Nevertheless, the GPS did not tell us that half of the street on "B St. was closed for the public to walk and kind of like the Covid times, where everything is set up for businesses to eat outdoors. I really like that idea of eating outdoors, but I wish the GPS had updated their system telling us there was no parking. Lol. Once inside the café, everything was so cute and organized. I really liked it! It was a long rectangular restaurant that went all the way back and they even had an upstairs area with a loft that overlooked the register area that we were sitting in below. Since we had a rather large party, we sat outside, and there were at least four tables with chairs all the way around for everybody to sit in. The restaurant next-door seems to be under a change of ownership, so my nephews were able to ply freeze dance in a designated area without bothering anybody. Lol the Boba itself tasted delicious. I got the T8-I think it was with passionfruit and Boba and it was delicious! I always do my Boba without sugar and light ice because I really want to taste the green tea and I figure Boba is already sweet anyways. There was a little bit of a lemon/lime citrus flavor in the Boba itself, which I also loved!! My boyfriend got an easy green tea with just Boba in it and it had this cool drink carrier with a dragon around the top! It was so pretty my nephews always wish they had one too! Lol as their orders came up, each one of them had a cool dragon drink carrier, and they were so proud of their Taiwanese, Chinese, Filipino heritage! I will definitely be back here again to try more of their drinks!! Hee“
“This place is such a hidden gem! I originally came in because I was looking for a place with Rooibos milk tea. Their version is excellent (at 50% sugar or less), and they also have a lot of other interesting teas, like Four Seasons Jadeite (deep, vanilla-flower flavor), Roasted Sencha, several different oolong varieties, etc.They also have a sampling table, where you can smell some of the teas!Such a better experience than a lot of the popular bubble tea shops around.“
“Split cups are awesome but a little more expensive. Their Kawaii with 50% sugar and less ice is so refreshing and delicious. I funny know why the Foxy Brown is award winning... It didn't seem any better than all the other milk teas out there. But full sugar was too sweet. The next level down is 50% which is not sweet enough. They need to have a 75% sweetness level.“
“Quality milk tea and yummy quality boba but you pay a steep price and your time (waiting for a drink). The wait can be up to 25-30 mins on average. I guess the smart ones order online and pick up in the store! We got a regular size, prob 12 oz for $6.50! Ordered: Brown sugar boba milk. Will be back!“
“Yummy!!!!! Was looking for a snack so stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. Small corner store in a small plaza! Not too busy so parking was no issue. You order on the kiosk and waffles take 10-20 minutes since they make it fresh. You'll get a text when your order is done and they also call out numbers loud enough to hear from the outside. Easy pickup window inside! There are some tables on the outside of the shop but none inside.Great selection of loaded croffles, matcha/coffee drinks, and of course mochi waffles! The price point is a lot better compared to other croffle/waffle places I've seen in the Bay!! Got the combo 5 which came with 4 pieces of mochi waffles, nutella, strawberries, and bananas. You get to choose which flavor your mochi waffle is so I got black sesame! I have to say that the black sesame flavor is not very prominent (maybe also because the nutella masked a lot of it) but the mochi texture is amazing!!!! Crispy on the outside and super chewy in the inside. Generous toppings as well- love a fruit/waffle combo!!I saw that they have catering options too so great for parties/work events!! Can't wait to come back and try other flavors/combos and their matcha/coffee drinks!!!“
“Tried this spot for some boba. I really wanted a basic black milk tea which I figured out is the black tea milk latte or something like that. I ended up getting the Mango Pomelo Sago with 70% sweetness. It’s super delicious with boba. Not too sweet at all, which is the main reason I avoid fruit teas. My friend got a Mango Sago with grass jelly and boba which she had been looking forward to trying and it did not disappoint. It’s located next to Michaels in the Target Shopping Center so parking in easy. It’s a small little shop with no room to wait. You order on the touchscreen and go outside to wait for your order. Great experience and fast service!“
“Organic milk, organic sugar, organic fruits and premium ingredients, are some of the reasons I come here for myself and my kids! This Yifang location in San Mateo is definitely my all time favorite for any milk tea, boba, fruit teas, and sweet drinks across the Bay Area. I'm super happy that my children are drinking something with real ingredients rather than powdered ingredients with high fructose corn syrup. Their favorite drinks include Strawberry Milk, Strawberry Sago, and Brown Sugar Pearl Latte (there's no caffeine in these), and my favorites are the Yifang Fruit Tea, Grass Jelly Tea, Sugar Can Mountain Tea, and Brown Sugar Pearl Matcha Latte. The other item options are top-notch as well. Drinks tend to be on the sweeter side so I would always order 30% sweetness. Highly, highly recommend! Staff here are sweet and so helpful!“
“Oh sweet sweet boba how do I love you so?...This is my favorite boba place next to where I live. Grabbed one on the way back from the dentist cleaning this morning.They make their own boba from scratch and you can see them make it super cool!Been here about a dozen times before. How did I not notice this.Super clean building with bathrooms. Never busy.They have specialties. My favorite is the Mr. Sun passion fruit green tea with boba and coconut jelly 25% sugar and less ice. You can customize it how you want.I actually like this place better than the options downtown.Nothing much to complain about here. Except the girl taking my order today was so soft-spoken I could hardly hear what she was asking.Recommend if you're dropping by or going past to grab a cold or hot drink. Or if you just need a home away from home to work or just chill.“
“Solid milk tea spot with super friendly and fast service. They had a promo too and offered a great price for their extra large sized drinks. Rose vanilla milk tea with lychee jelly was a nice new drink to try.The free sample was also such a sweet touch and lifesaving for this momma running on empty.“
“Solid milk tea at very reasonable prices ($5-6). The boba was a bit stale but I'm not complaining for this relatively low price.Wheelchair accessibility: There's no power door but everything is otherwise level. I forget if there's a ramp near the store entrance.“
“"Five Star Review for Gong Cha, Sunnyvale, CaliforniaI recently visited Gong Cha in Sunnyvale, California, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! The boba here is fresh and has the perfect chewiness, striking just the right balance between firmness and softness. Each sip brings a pleasant texture that's simply irresistible.Moreover, the tea itself is a standout. It's fresh and aromatic, leaving a lingering fragrance that enhances the overall taste. This quality of tea makes every drink special and sets Gong Cha apart from other boba places.What adds to the charm of this location is the ambiance. The store is warm and welcoming, creating a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. Whether you're popping in for a quick drink or meeting up with friends, the environment is just perfect.Overall, my experience at Gong Cha in Sunnyvale was fantastic. Fresh, flavorful boba, exceptional tea, and a comforting atmosphere - it's everything you'd want in a boba shop. Definitely deserving of a five-star rating!"“
“As the name suggests, it's a place for quick milk tea and bubble tea options. And by quick, I do mean that they are very fast at making drinks. They do have chewy milk tea, but the flavor of their tea isn't as strong as I would have liked.They have increased the amount and types of food they serve with plenty of street snacks, rice bowls, and even ramen!“
“I recently stumbled upon Ume Tea in Palo Alto, and I'm so glad I did. This place is an absolute gem! The boba here is beyond yummy, with each sip bursting with flavor and the pearls perfectly chewy. But what truly sets Ume Tea apart is its vibrant atmosphere. The sitting area is adorned with cute stuffed animals, creating a playful and inviting vibe that instantly puts a smile on your face. And let's not forget about their amazing selection of slushies, which are perfect for cooling off on a hot day. Whether you're craving a delicious boba drink or simply looking for a fun spot to hang out, Ume Tea is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“
“So far I have been 2 Kung Fu Tea Locations The 1st Kung Fu Tea Location That I went to was at New York City which was back in 2019!!!! And now I got a chance to go to the Kung Fu Tea at the Palo Alto Ca Location!!!!!! And What I had was the Lychee Punch Boba Tea Drink which is very Refreshing 清爽 Qīngshuǎng !!!!!! If you Yelpers & Yelpettes like Lychee Punch Boba Tea Try Going to this Kung Fu Tea Location!!!!“
“Came in on a week night in need of a quick order for drinks and popcorn chicken. Ordering was easy, because we can use the touch pad. There's a wide selection of drinks that you can customize, which is great. The sitting area was comfortable, with a TV to watch fun shows. Each drink was made with fine ingredients and neatly packaged. :The order was ready so fast, which was impressive, since I ordered 2 boxes of chicken and 5 drinks. This would normally take 20-25 minutes in other stores, but they only took about 8 minutes here. If you're in need of a quick drink and snack, this is the place to go!“
“UPDATE: My bill appears to have been corrected — if this is the case, thank you, Boba Guys. Stay tuned.—ordered 1 large drink (24 oz) & 1 small drink, but was charged for two large drinks. And I left a generous tip on top!Good drinks, but I shouldn’t have to worry about being charged too much. Frustrating!!Check your receipt in store.“
“This is my favorite boba chain and my favorite location. My roommate and I love to come here after dinner. The architecture is open and airy and gives a cheerful feeling. Service is always incredible and boba makers are so kind. The pearls are always soft and fresh and the tea is always flavorful and delicious !! The orders come out promptly Shoutout to the Friday night barista“
“I love the food, and the service is really good! Normally it takes like 5-10 minutes for the boba or your food to be ready. The only thing I don't like is the seating options. There are only like 3 tables with 2/4 chairs each. There's a lot of random teens that trash the area too so I recommend that you eat it at home or at a park. Since the food is so good I would give it 5 stars.“
“Quick service on a late night, super spacious to hang out with friends and get some work done! I'd like to try a few more drinks before I rate how consistent they are, but I really liked my matcha with purple rice! A bit overpriced for the cup size IMO but popcorn chicken was good“
“Stopped by to try a new boba place! I ordered the honey milk tea with boba 25% sweet! I was quite pleased with drink, there was strong tea flavor and the boba was nice and chewy. The only qualm I had was I could barely taste any honey flavor. I understand I got it 25% sweet, but I wish I at least got a hint of flavor. I'll come back and try it at 50% sweet next time. There were a lot of delicious other teas on the menu, so I'll stop by next time to try those.“
