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. :)

Solid. I was saved by their attention to detail as I forgot to select milk. Still one of the best places to get grass jelly as well.

Ordered a drink with 50% sugar but it tasted like they put 200% in there. Too ridiculously sweet it was like drinking cough syrup.

Haven't visited in a couple years. Very disappointed. The red guava green tea tasted full of artificial flavors. Probably the worst tea I've had in recent memory. There are many better tea places around.

One of the OG boba places in the bay area. Very decent drinks and cheaper than the many newer places that popped up in the last few years.

Overall, 5 stars. The customer service was good. I felt like my family and I were considered like fellow humans beings when we asked about the restroom. I asked some silly questions and they were answered respectfully. The atmosphere was fine. They had some cute decorations for the new year. I like how it is tied to the restaurant next door because it was very convenient and accommodating while waiting for a takeout order from the restaurant. I didn't feel uneasy—I felt welcomed, in a casual way. I ordered jasmine milk tea, hot with no sugar. That's what they gave me. The cup was suitable for a hot drink and came pre-sleeved. The drinks were actually affordable. I didn't feel ripped off.

Stumbled upon this gem of a bubble tea place. Absolutely amazing variety of teas , all made with real ingredients. The fruit teas are made of actual fruit and not artificial flavoring. I absolutely love the black sesame tea, Lychee green tea and the new tiramisu milk tea. The teas are all reasonably priced unlike almost every single tea place in the Bay Area. Absolutely love this place!

Can’t believe the tea is still under $4 here, and the tea flavor is stronger than many other stores. They take cash only though.

This is our go-to whenever we're in downtown Mountain View! My husband has been coming here for years, and introduced me.Lots of different options to choose from, but I usually get the same things (Ceylon milk tea or Jasmine milk tea) and it's always great. Ice, toppings, and sugar level are customizable.We love that they're partnered with the restaurant next door, Queen House, so you get $1 off your boba with your meal order, although prices are already pretty good if you just order tea.

My favorite boba tea place out of the fourteen companies I’ve tried in my lifetime. Much better than Teaspoon and even Boba Guys. The variety in flavors cannot be beat— from avocado milk juice to puer milk tea to red guava tea, the obscure flavors you’re looking for can likely be found. They have all the classics as well, of course; I always get either the Thai milk tea or strawberry milk tea. And the pricing is perfect, ranging from under $4 up to $8. My Thai tea is only $3.75. This kind of pricing is a rare treasure in Silicon Valley, especially in Downtown MV. The service is super fast (I usually wait only 2 minutes), there is a kiosk if you don’t want to interact with anyone, and the whole place has a family-owned kind of feeling. Really love this place! It’s the only boba place I go to now.
