10 Best Bubble Tea in Mountain View

“I stopped in after grabbing a meal nearby, looking for any boba in the recent heatwave.
Let me tell you, I was in for a surprise and I didn't even know it.
Upon entering I was greeted by a comfortable and clean atmosphere and good music. To my surprise, just behind the glass on the counter was a worker actively making the fresh boba pearls!
Ordering the drinks went nicely and they had a very good selection of teas and flavors.
I opted for the simple and classic Brown Sugar Boba w/Fresh Milk, and it was one of cleanest, smoothest boba drinks I've ever had.
The owner was on site and she was very kind and generous by answering any questions and letting us sample her freshly made boba. She showed such passion for her craft and the business and it shows in the quality of the product provided.
The fresh boba she let me sample was absolutely delightful and had a flavor unlike any of the typical tapioca boba pearls you would find at your average boba shop.

Definitely suggest coming to Mr. Sun Tea and trying out their boba. A simple review can't begin to show the difference in taste and quality.

They have six locations in total and I will be visiting them regularly from now on. Officially my go-to boba spot.“

“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.“

“This place consistently has good texture boba and well mixed teas. I am a frequent visitor and the person who takes orders generally remembers to ask if I want decaf if I forget to order it at night. I particularly enjoy the honey milk tea, the Thai tea, the taro milk tea, and the sesame milk tea. The black pearl milk tea is a good value if you want boba and don't have a particular flavor in mind as the price includes boba.

Edited to add:
- This place remains consistent and a good value for the area. It is particularly cost effective to split a large between 2 people. I feel the amount of boba they give is generous, especially in the large.
- This place has fried snacks available.
- Their seating area and restroom is open again after closure during COVID.
- They have no changing table.“

“Boba Bliss is my go to milk tea shop since is walking distance from work. The place is clean, modern and with plenty of in door and outdoor seating. Service is fast and friendly. Menu has seasonal items, coffee, teas and drinks that are more on the milk shake side. The tea is freshly brewed if you're like milk tea for the tea flavor. Boba is soft and chewy. Overall one of the best milk tea options out there.“

“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.“

“Really small interior with two ordering kiosks - definitely a place for take-out only and they put up signs stating that. Their Black Milk Tea w/ boba was surprisingly solid for a place that doesn't appear to focus on milk tea boba. Their pandan mochi-waffle was not bad - had a hint of sweetness and pandan flavor. Great light crunchy exterior followed by the chewy mochi texture. Will def come back here for their milk tea and to try their other mochi-waffle flavors.“

“Tofu pudding (豆花) was awesome. Fruit tea had fresh strawberry and mango cubes. Ai-yu (愛玉) went well with fruit tea.“

“I absolutely love this Happy Lemon location! The staff are always friendly, efficient, and great at making the perfect drink. The drinks are delicious and refreshing every time I visit, especially the classic Lemon Green Tea and their signature Salted Cheese drinks which are so unique and flavorful! The store is clean, organized, and has a welcoming vibe. I appreciate how customizable the drinks are and how you can adjust sweetness and toppings to suit your taste perfectly. This Happy Lemon truly sets the bar high for quality and service. Highly recommend!“

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

“Food was great - piping hot and super tasty. I'm a big fan of orange chicken. Sadly the ambience was terrible - one member of staff was on their break and was sat in the middle of the restaurant watching videos on their phone with the sound blasting. As there was also music playing in the restaurant it made for a horrendous noise.“
