I literally thought that their Boba was grass jelly when I drank it because it was so incredibly overcooked that it turned to complete mush inside of the drink. It was so, so, so truly bad. I threw it away after the first 2 sips. I’ve had thousands of bobas and almost never feel compelled to write a review, but I just have to be honest here.

Okay, seriously, this was hands down the worst boba tea I've ever had! I ordered the Boba milk tea with oat milk, and it straight-up tasted like... well, you know. I thought maybe I could salvage it by throwing in some honey, but nope, that just made it even worse. I had to chug water and down some other drinks just to get rid of that awful taste lingering in my mouth. I don't get how making boba tea can be rocket science, but apparently, they found a way to mess it up. Straight into the trash, it went. Lesson learned: Never again from this place!

My favorite secret in San Carlos. Their juices are so good, super fruit, grapefruit- you can't go wrong. They make it fresh for you so it's even more delicious and the fruit is fresh so you can actually eat it after. Vietnamese coffee is also very good here! The service is good as they are operating a Chinese restaurant next door so it's a two for one really if you want food too. There is a parking lot right next door where you can park as long as you aren't there long. They redid the whole store recently and it looks good.

This juice and smoothie bar has a wide range of competitively priced selections. The service is incredibly quick, and the staff is welcoming. The Rose Oolong Tea Salted Cream stood out--it was well balanced, not too sweet, and had a pleasant tropical and refreshing touch. Strongly recommended!

fucking horrible, worst milk tea I've even had, so bitter and not mixed, boba is mushy and has no flavor, straws are paper and don't have a point to get into the drink. honestly would never go again completely ruined my mood.

Tea Juice left a positive impression as I savored two drinks--Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk and Fresh Milk Aka Tiger Milk Boba. The ambience complemented the overall experience, creating a pleasant setting for enjoying the beverages. Both drinks were not only satisfying but showcased a level of quality that encourages return visits. The prospect of exploring other options on the menu is enticing, given the positive taste and ambiance encountered during this visit. Tea Juice is undoubtedly a spot worth revisiting for its appealing atmosphere and a diverse array of flavorful beverages.

Nice little find. My kids and I ordered their house boba milk tea and strawberry smoothie. My house boba was rich tasting. Heavier on the tea side than the milk side. Kids smoothie just right. Will be back again!

I think the reviews need a bit of balancing in the area. I wanted a less sweet and more milky tea but first my no ice comment was missed and then the tea was too strong for my taste. It was then replaced with more water and sweetness which tasted like a sweet watery black tea. I said more milk could be added and was pointed out they only make their style and don’t customize. Less ice makes it too strong. And then my money was returned! There was no one in the queue and just 1 customer inside. A little more politeness would’ve helped. But yes, customizations are not welcome here. Seemed like a good local shop that I wanted to support. I ended up having an amazing boba tea at Boba guys nearby.

Love this place! My boyfriend and I became regulars and now the owner knows our order every time. Every drink is handmade and always delicious!
I got the mango smoothie and it was not great. The boba itself wasn't tasty nor good in texture and the flavor was a bit off. I threw it out halfway.

Amazing tea with great variety! Accidentally stumbled across this place, have returned since, and am never disappointed! The milk tea boba is great, but the Super Fruit green tea with passion fruit popping boba is next level. The fresh fruit slices mixed in with the tea are a refreshing surprise and the fruit is always ripe and delicious. I tried the grapefruit fruit tea today as well which hit the spot! Would definitely recommend checking out Tea Juice!

Disclaimer: 2 stars for drinks but added one for their bombastic fried chicken that blew my husband's and son's (super picky eater #1) minds!On the way down the peninsula, I tried to find a boba place that we've never tried before & is also on our route home and came across this place. I ended up ordering:- boba milk tea- grass jelly milk tea- Thai milk tea- fried (popcorn) chickenI was extremely disappointed in the drinks...did not taste good at all...but the popcorn chicken was SUPER delicious. I have never heard my husband compliment fried chicken before like this so this is definitely the real deal!Since we don't live around here, we won't be visiting again any time soon. If we're ever in town again, though, we would definitely get the popcorn chicken again! (but no drinks, LOL)

The place is a little bit dark and let us feel uncomfortable. I don’t feel any “freshness” at this tea place. The boba tea/milk tea and the toppings are not delicious, just so so. Also there was no snack in the store as it advertised. I won’t come here again.
