50 Best Bubble Tea near Palo Alto

“Tried the strawberry‑guava drink and taro boba milk at Tong Sui. Both were fantastic. The strawberry‑guava is bright, fresh and fruity, not overly sweet. The taro boba milk has rich taro flavour with chewy boba. High‑quality ingredients and fast service. Such a lovely dessert spot in Palo Alto, will come back soon!🧋“

“Great food and drink♥️ I love“

“Yummy delicious and super cool 😎“

“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 !!!❤️🙏🤩“

“4.5/5 overall! The Boba is so yumm here. Tastes different than the typical honey boba elsewhere. Their hot tea is nicely frothed instead of just microwaved in other tea shops. We love seeing their machine making boba.
One feedback: The toilet is often dirty or have no toilet paper. Something they need to visit every 2-4 hours to keep it clean and stocked. The owner is very sweet and attentive. ,decent cafe to hangout while sipping delicious tea, definitely recommended!“

“I wish I didn’t like Boba tea so much, but even if I had the will power, the bright welcoming fuzzy pink of Ume overpowers it.

The drinks are tasty (even at the low-sugar levels I choose) and the Bunny Surprise drinks are always fun (I give them to my niece — it’s a surprise for us both!).

This one is on CalAve, pretty much the de facto post-dinner dessert spot, so I’ll usually stop by when I’m here for a drink.

Someday I’ll have that will power to resist. Someday.“

“We had such a wonderful dining experience here! The seafood was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The oysters were especially impressive, fresh from that morning, and the geoduck was crisp, sweet, and delicious. The crab was rich and full of roe, the shrimp were excellent, and the beautifully marbled beef was tender and perfect for the hot pot. Even after we were completely full, the oyster omelet at the end was so good that we somehow found room for more!

What really made the evening special, though, was the service. Vivian was incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive. You can tell that a lot of care goes into both the ingredients and the presentation of every dish. Our whole group felt very welcomed and well taken care of.

Fresh ingredients, generous portions, beautiful presentation, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere for gathering with family and friends. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!“

“Got the custard milk tea. The tea flavor is very strong, but custard not so much. Would come back to try a more tea forward option.

They have a nice looking and smelling small shop, but the whole ordering experience was very subpar.“

“I’ve gone to this Rabbit Rabbit for the past year and a half, and it’s a hit or miss. The strawberry & Guava drink were watery first time I got them, so I avoided ordering them again, but the mango ones have tasted great in my experience.

A few days after I tried the Guava, my friend was curious and ordered the same drink, and it tasted delicious. It’s likely more on the barista instead of the ingredients creating this inconsistency (though I have noticed the change), but it does taste GOOD when it hits.

As many might’ve written, there’s no space here to sit. Just order, wait either outside or in the only two chairs, and leave to keep walking around.

Ive had worse boba compared to this, but I will admit my disappointment rises when my drink comes watery. Unless you are paying at the register, there’s no talking to any staff, for those who prefer contactless pay :)“

“Cute little place love we got a free mini figurine with our drinks and everything was just so cute. Ordered from the kiosk and didn’t have to wait long.’we were there on a Saturday. Drinks tasted good, refreshing and popcorn chicken was tasty. They also give you a good amount.“

“TONG SUI SAVED MY LIFE!!! I was on an afternoon run, worried I might die from the heat, when I stumbled across Tong Sui. Vivian helped me find the perfect papaya drink to quench my thirst and quite literally pulled me from the brink of death. I am forever indebted to Vivian for her friendly hospitality and lifesaving capabilities.“

“This shop is incredible. A family run business that is clean professional and fun. Bring your family or yourself for any of their amazing treats. I tried the spicy kani onigiri and it was fresh plus delicious. Great flavour in the food today. The owner made my drink a coconut milk tea and it was so wonderful. This is as good as boba tea gets. Their equipment is top notch and it's easy to support a great local business. Stop by for something you deserve soon.“

“The Coco Peach Dream was absolutely delicious! The peach flavor was fresh, sweet, and refreshing, while the coconut added a smooth and creamy touch. I loved how well-balanced the flavors were—not too sweet or heavy. It’s such a perfect summer drink. I would definitely order it again next time!“

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

“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.“

“This place is actually the best!! Boba is delicious and cheap, so many options and pretty fast especially in comparison with other downtown places :D The lady is genuinely the sweetest person alive, she once brought my boba out because I was scared of my bike being stolen!! I’ve gone here so many times with friends and alone and it’s consistently amazing 😋😋

For those wondering my go-to is a reg mango tea or milk tea 50% sugar, less ice, mango jelly and big pearl boba, enjoy!“

“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“

“Had a lovely visit to Molly Tea! The new Thai Tea Series was creamy, refreshing, and beautifully presented—especially the Salted Cheese Thai Tea and Dual-Layer drink. The staff was friendly, the space was inviting, and the limited-edition stamp sticker and knitted bag promotion made the visit even more fun. A great stop for boba lovers in the Bay Area!“

“Classic Tpumps. The atmosphere and layout of this location is a little stranger than most, but Tpumps was never known for having a 5-star atmosphere. You could use their ordering tablets, or you could order at the register. Unlike some places whose employees will completely ignore your presence and give you no other option but to order at the kiosk, the Tpumps employees invited us to order at the register. Overall, 4/5.“

“Excellently arranged, the Coco Mango was the whole reason I stopped in and it landed. The mango came through clean and ripe, and the coconut softened it without making it heavy. Sweet in a nice way. Also the cup design made me smile for a second 🙂“

“This Grape Green Tea with Boba
was seriously amazing! Such a pleasant surprise.

The grape flavor tasted natural and aromatic, not artificial at all. It was so refreshing and made me want to keep drinking. The boba was perfectly chewy, with just the right texture and a light sweetness that paired really well with the drink.

Everything came together so nicely. My only regret is not getting a larger size!“

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

“My favorite tea spot in the bay. If you want high quality tea freshly made from loose tea leaves full of aroma, this is the place for you. My favorite is their dragon well milk tea. I cannot go to other tea places after I have it. They don’t have the hypes like Heytea or Molly tea but their tea is way better in my opinion. Give it a try and you will be able to tell the difference!“

“We usually eat here and it is very good. The meat are fresh and the soup base is tasty unlike others“

“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 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.“

“i love fantasia! ever since my childhood spot closed in Rivermark, I've been coming to the Cupertino location. the staff are helpful and the environment is very soothing and relaxing to study at. they use better ingredients than a lot of boba shops nowadays and still keeps a comfortable, clean cafe vibe. always choose Fantasia! I enjoy ordering the Thai tea with pearls with 25% sweetener and a little bit of black tea. Their fruit teas are also very good for a refreshing drink“

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

“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“

“Amazing place for bubble tea and k-snack! It's clean and spacious. We ordered the Peach Mang fruit tea and the Mango shaved Ice- the milk ice was so soft and sweet ! Their Sotteok-sotteok and coffee are my favorite. Don't miss out the Korean chicken Bento either.
Highly recommend this place.“

“Was looking for a boba spot/something sweet after having dinner in this plaza and TeaTop was just about to close. They have a wide variety of drinks and toppings, as well as games and seating inside. Lately green milk teas with boba have been my go to and they really have been giving me a caffeine boost and keeping me awake when I need it. So I got their Signature Alpine Green Milk Tea with boba, less sweet with less sugar. I really enjoyed it. The workers were very kind, quick, and friendly. Nice spot to hang out with friends, I also like how they post their top drinks on the menu and the walls. My friends got some other drinks that were also really good. Something with egg pudding and red bean. Parking is super easy since it’ located within a shopping plaza.“

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

“Wonderful smoothies, I had the mango passion fruit one. It tastes really good and has the perfect balance. I got 50% which made it taste exceptional. The crystal boba tastes really good and adds a wonderful bite to it. The flavors really explode in my mouth. Highly recommend.“

“My son and I stopped by Mr. Sun for a refreshing boba treat, and it was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Mr. Sun Special with strawberry boba and another Mr. Sun Special with brown sugar boba, and both drinks were perfectly balanced, refreshing, and full of flavor. The boba was fresh, soft, and delightfully chewy, making every sip enjoyable.

The shop was clean and welcoming, and the service was friendly and efficient. It was the perfect place to cool down and enjoy a sweet treat together. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend Mr. Sun to any boba lover! 🧋😊“

“The mochi waffle is actually crispy and chewy.
The pandan waffle was kind of bland, but the ube cream is very delicious. The ube cream is more runny than I had imagined. Overall, a pleasant experience, but I wouldn’t get the same thing again. I was tempted to get the combo especially since adding a boba milk tea is only $1 for the combo, but i’m really glad I didn’t. The shop is takeout only and I had to walk my order back to the hotel. I think the waffle would have become soggy with the toppings by then. Also asking for a service tip for a takeout only shop with self order kiosks is… interesting.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!“

“A wide variety of mochi donuts available that are soft and fluffy. Cute and clean, bright aesthetic. Honestly, one of the few tea/coffee shops in the area that feel like you could sit for a while and no one would care. My NY Resolution is to try a new boba shop every two weeks, so I feel like I'm becoming a tapioca pearl expert. These were really good! Perfect QQ.“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Tpumps in Foster City!
We ordered 50 custom drinks for our daughter's 7th birthday party, and from the very beginning, Yvonne made the entire process incredibly easy. She was patient, responsive, and helped us customize the order to make it perfect for a large group of kids and parents.
We ordered split cups with two fruit tea combinations—Watermelon Lychee with Lychee Jelly and Honey Mango Peach with Boba—and they were a huge hit! The kids absolutely loved them, the parents did too, and the split cups were such a fun idea because everyone got to try two different flavors.
Yvonne helped us customize everything, from the sweetness level and toppings to the pickup time, and every detail was handled exactly as requested. Best of all, the entire order was ready right on time, making pickup quick and effortless so we could get back to the party without any stress.
Coordinating a large order for a children's birthday party can be overwhelming, but Tpumps made it one of the easiest parts of the day. Their customer service was exceptional, the drinks were fresh and delicious, and they truly helped make our daughter's birthday extra special.
If you're planning a birthday party, school event, sports team celebration, or any large gathering, I can't recommend Tpumps enough. Thank you, Yvonne, and everyone at Tpumps, for going above and beyond. We'll absolutely be back!“

“Thin bread from the outside and full filling stuffed inside! Fresh pickles and veggies so yummy! I like the spreading pate it so mild and tasty! Recommended saigonsignature number 6! I like brown sugar boba for the drinks! It’s great to go along as combos! I must try!“

“Always love going to Teaspoon for tasty, refreshing drinks. It’s a perfect way to start the day with some caffeine and beat the heat during summer! You can customize drinks so that you end up with the perfect amount of sweetness and can add from a variety of flavorful, fun toppings.“

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

“Alma Dessert in Sunnyvale is a fantastic spot! I am always blown away by their massive selection of unique tiramisu flavors—like pistachio, ube, and mango—alongside creative boba and TEA-ramisu drinks. The quality is undeniably top-tier, but the exceptionally high prices are a bit of a shock. Still, it’s a delicious, indulgent treat when I am looking to splurge!“

“I'm happy to come to Tea Hut again, especially after the Millbrae location closed. The appearance of the menu was a little different, but the drink selection, at least when ordering from the tablet, was as I remember. Glad that could stay consistent. I ordered a Boba N' Milk at 75% sweetness. At most boba places I usually request 50%, but Tea Hut (or maybe just this drink) is already not too sweet to begin with. Although Boba N' Milk sounds simple, they do add a bit of syrup to liven up the taste and the pearls which come with the drink also add flavor. The drink was also just as I remember. You can't really go wrong with Tea Hut.

The atmosphere was also nice and consistent to the location I used to go to. I wish it was a little bigger so there was more seating, but that's out of their control. Overall, 4/5.“

“Best boba in town! I really enjoyed the seafood noodles!“

“This is my go to boba spot. The drinks are amazing and the staff is wonderful. I have messed up my drink order more than once and they have fixed it for me every time, free of charge. The owner is so lovely and friendly. They also have an awesome rewards program. I know this will become your favorite boba shop!“

“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).“

“The cashier was awesome, so was the one who made our drinks. This location is small but they have regulars coming in. It got busy real quick but it was a hot day, so still worth the wait.
My sister got the Avocado Avalanche 🥑 and I had the New Coconut Matcha 🥥🍵 both with the honey boba! Highly recommend them! They were blended well and tasted delicious! Would come back if I'm in the area.“

“Clean place, drinks are delicious“

“Boba and Pizza Corner delivers solid flavor and fast service. The cheese pizza tastes fresh with a smooth melt and a light crust. The wings come seasoned with good balance and crisp texture. The boba drink feels creamy with steady sweetness and soft pearls.

You get clear pricing and friendly staff. The shop stays clean, with a menu that gives you quick choices for pizza, wings, and drinks. This spot works well for a quick bite or takeout with consistent quality.“

“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“
