Tea Restaurants near Milpitas, CA

“Our new happy spot. I have fallen for the Pink Panther. Highly recommended.“

“My favorite milk tea/boba place in the Bay Area. The prices of their drinks haven't risen like other chains, their tea is of high quality, and the staff make drinks in the fastest time.While there isn't much seating room inside, one can quickly order and grab and go. The staff speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English and one can either name the drinks or provide a number, and they incredibly know which number matches each drink.My favorite drink here is the Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea with pearls; however, any milk teas from here taste delicious!“

“Have been obsessed since trying 3Cat in LA and San Diego.

We got the matcha chestnut, mochi barley burst, and mochi mango. All so good. They use straus milk so it’s naturally creamy and sweet. I got my matcha chestnut with less sugar and ice and it’s perfect.“

“Excellent tea! The tea was individually brew like expresso shots. It worthes the wait and price.

Long line but one can order online first to reduce wait time.

Nice decoration and explanation on its tea origin.“

“I remember seeing many Ten Ren stores in Taiwan with a lot of fancy tea. I had the green milk tea with 50% sugar at this store and it definitely has stronger tea than any average milk tea store I have been to in the US. After a few sips I decided that I should have got higher sweetness level and came back to the store asking if they could kindly add more sugar to my milk tea. Glad they were kind enough to help me with that.“

“Love Matsu Matcha! Without a doubt, they have the best mango matcha in the area 🥭🍵 I’ve tried quite a few of their flavors, including strawberry, banana, cookie butter, pistachio, and of course mango and mango is my absolute favorite!
They have a great selection of matcha drinks, plus matcha ice cream with different matcha intensity levels and delicious parfaits.

The only reason I’m giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is that they often run out of mango. I find myself having to check every time before going to make sure it’s available that day. If mango matcha is your favorite too, you know how disappointing that can be! 😭 Otherwise, I absolutely love this place. 💚“

“Great“

“Drink is good allot of choice I recommend“

“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.“

“Love this place. Good tea the way I want it. They will make a Tea for the kids so no one is left out.“

“I’ve been here a number of times and every time I’ve gone I’ve really enjoyed it. Sadly I don’t have any photos on hand but my absolute favorite and number one recommendation is the com tam (broken rice plate) trust me on this!!!! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-01“

“My wife loves the creme brulee matcha and I usually get the strawberry matcha yuzu. Both are solid choices and have strong matcha taste. They also have ice cream which is pretty good too. We come here often because it's good/strong matcha and the drinks are very flavorful. You can also get an extra matcha shot in the strawberry yuzu matcha for free 😏“

“Me and my girlfriend just visited the store today on New Years to grab some tea for gifting and to taste, and the service was amazing.

The attendant was incredibly kind and she took out a lot of time to help us decide which teas would be best for our tastes and to sit down to brew and drink some tea with us. She taught us a lot about the plantation that the tea comes from, and the tea itself smelled delicious and was super fragrant. We sampled the green oolong and I took home dragonwell, silver needle, and emerald green teas.

It is very rare these days to walk into a store and meet a worker that has so much passion for tea. If you’re just walking around the store to visit, ask around for some help, I’m sure you’ll find something for yourself. There were also very pretty tea cakes, but I personally don’t drink a lot of pu-erh. I highly recommend this store if you’re visiting the area and want to take home some traditional teas.“

“We came at night and glad it’s still open. Drinks were fresh made but I would say if they added a little more cream/cheese, they would tasted much better. If you tried Choo tea, you probably will understand how the creama and ube ratio works, since the price is already more than &10.“

“I went to Tapioca Express in Alhambra on Monday the 15th around noon. I ordered a Thai Tea, which is personally my favorite! I usually order Thai Tea ever where I go because I can't get enough. Haha, The two people that were helping me were Jo and Steve or Steven, I didn't quite hear the other employee name but it's somewhere along those lines. They were super nice! Right when I walked in, I was greeted with "Welcome to Tapioca Express!" It made me feel very welcomed, which is a feeling everybody should feel when they walk into a store. Since I always order Thai Tea, I just wanted to take a look at the menu and see what other options they had. They offered me other drinks but I had to stay with my usual. I liked how they were so patient with me. The Thai Tea tasted amazing! The sugar was just perfect! I will be coming back! Thank you for being patient and having a great customer service!“

“I placed an order (through 3rd party vendors) and got an exceptional customer service experience. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend Izumi Matcha and will be returning again and again.“

“This is te nicest n clean neat place I ever been ! And the drinks all fresh n taste so good I also order the Bao ribs and it's so yummy I love it! Please go n try this place I'm sure you will love it the service is great n staffs are very friendly with good smile!!😘😘😘“

“My wife and I were once just basic milk tea drinkers. We had our standard spot that we used to go to for years. We had friends that used to tell us about getting milk tea with “cheese” in it and we said “that sounds gross”. So one of our friends eventually dragged my wife to Happy Lemon and made her try the milk tea with salted cheese and….our taste buds will never be the same again.

I have now been to this Happy Lemon on multiple occasions. Parking has never been an issue. The people that take the drink orders, and serve the drinks have been consistently nice. The wait time for the drinks have been consistent with other tea places we have been.

My wife and I are now hooked on the Milk Tea with Salted Cheese and Boba Milk Tea with Cream Puff. I even bought some of the Salted Cheese ice cream for our daughters to try. They immediately tasted the cheese flavor and thought it was “yucky”. I was very happy to hear that and I sat back and enjoyed every spoonful.“

“We love Brian’s Black tea! And is our to go spot.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!“

“If you’re looking for a place that serves refreshing, delicious drinks, this spot really stands out. From fruity juices, milkshakes, smoothies, mocktails, to cold coffees, every sip is packed with flavor and freshness. The drinks are perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too heavy — making them enjoyable for everyone.“

“You can order regular or oreo waffles 🧇! It’s airy and sweet in all the right places. Also their boba is always on point :)“

“long line but was worth it“

“It’s the first time to visit this place. The store looks cool with decoration. Two boys are busy with orders and delivery drinks fast, 5mins only for 2 drinks.
Prices are acceptable. I ordered taro tea $7 with 2 toppings - $0.80/each.
Generally, it’s a good place to sit with chit and chat. If it’s hot over +90degree, you definitely do not forget to come here and get sth to be cooled down.
By the way, there are also connected counters with different kind of sweeties, that you should try. It’s also good to try…“

“Very good 👍“
