50 Best Bubble Tea in San Jose

“If you like Asian-style milk teas, boba, etc. this place is pretty good! My family and my brother’s family were at Home Depot across the street and wanted something to drink besides soda. Tpumps was across the street. There were sooo many flavors to choose from and the boba were prepared just right (not too firm or mushy). Good to know as I was visiting the area and past milk tea places I visited were just so-so. I’ll def go there again!“

“Drink is good allot of choice I recommend“

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

“Visited over the weekend after running errands with my besties. Omni approved, we ordered so much! Ordered the Mapo Tofu Rice Set, with side dishes, Pan-fried Plant Based Chop Set, Avocado Rolls, I got the Happiness Over Rice - it was sweet and totally devoured it! I also ordered the Avocado smoothie, one of my favorites sometimes other places make it too watery. This one was fluffy and very tasty! For dessert we shared the Chocolate Tiramisú. Would totally return! Wonderful service too! Updated from previous review on 2026-04-06“

“The place is Charming, the food is excellent, and the service is great.“

“I love the organic drinks from this place with no taste of artificial flavors like other locations. Their fresh boba pearls is so good and bouncy fresh taste.“

“Great local boba shop! The honey boba is incredibly tasty and the shop is quick to get out orders. They have a very cute rewards system set up if you're a frequent customer.

Super reliable, delicious, and a great mid-afternoon stop or post-dinner drink!“

“The cashier was kind and the place is nice and the drinks were really delicious and from the snacks I tried was also really delicious and better than most places I been to and I have been to a lot of popular places to eat and also other countries food and I prefer this than the fancy food I ate“

“Teaspoon honestly converted me into understanding the boba obsession. I’m usually not a huge boba person because a lot of drinks are either way too sweet or way too heavy on the tea flavor, but the staff here helped customize everything perfectly. They were incredibly patient, friendly, and genuinely wanted to make sure I liked what I ordered.

We sampled one of their peach drinks first and it was so good that we ended up adjusting my drink slightly with extra peach flavor, which turned out amazing. I got a creamy peach oolong style drink with honey boba and my friend ordered the Taro Lover. Both were super smooth, refreshing, and balanced without tasting artificial or overloaded with sugar.

They also had these tiny little donuts and macarons that were adorable. The entire atmosphere felt trendy, clean, and upbeat, especially being surrounded by all the late-night restaurants and cafés in the plaza. Perfect stop after sushi when you want something sweet and refreshing without feeling too heavy.“

“This place is so amazing! The owner is here working and she is super friendly and definitely generous when severing ice cream from Marianne’s Ice cream! The root beer is the best flavor and I have came here a few times now and the place is always very clean and looks great inside! The sugar cane drinks are my favorite!“

“I came here on a random Wednesday, wasn’t gonna walk in but my guts told me I gotta. This is the best milk tea I’ve ever tasted in my life. I got a honey milk tea 70% sweet with double boba, for reference, I think it tastes like the honey milk tea at KOI in Vietnam. Oh and for a large, this thing is massive. Worth every penny“

“Fruit Tea is amazing, the dirty tea is way too sweet“

“Great place and very nice! I wanted to grab the Fruits Basket drinks and get my sticker! I would definitely visit again! 💜“

“I visited this Hostetter Rd location after my lunch, around 3 PM, and it wasn’t too busy, which was nice. The service was good, and the cashier was friendly and attentive to my order. They made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it (specific sugar level, split cup, and add-ons like grass jelly and boba). The drinks were actually great. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience!“

“Top notch customer service, the staff was ready to answer questions or give their opinion on drinks.

The store was clean and my order was ready fast!

Best of all, the Boba was fresh!
I got a 0% sweetness of their new drink the cookie butter chai and added boba.

Heads up no bathroom available“

“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!!😘😘😘“

“I own the iCode next door to insomnibar so I come here often. But today the employees had exceptional service (review worthy!). I ordered a drink by mistake bc I had forgotten what I ordered last time. The employees there offered me 2 samples to drink from to see if any of them resembled the drink I got the previous times. I found my drink and she made it for me. Outstanding service! Love the neighbors!“

“Tea Top is absolutely my Go-to place when I crave for a good boba milk tea. The location is ideal - close to my work office, easy parking. The service is always great. I want to make a special mention to Jackie their lovely staff. Jackie is simply amazing - joyful, courteous, professional and she makes you want to visit the store again!“

“Cozy little place with lots of options. Very clean“

“Yooo this mango smoothie was sooo good!! I mean it tasted so fresh (bc they use real mangoes) and their salted cheese cream goes sooo well with the drink!! And also the jelly they added tasted really good. Idk if it's because it's been so hot, but this drink is great!!!“

“Kat helped us out and took our order. She had amazing customer service, was super friendly, and made sure we got our order quickly and smoothly. Really appreciated how welcoming she was. The wings were so delicious as well for the boba of course. Definitely coming back!“

“We have been going to this place since they opened. We are pretty much stuck with this place like it or not because my daughter only likes drinks from here only and nowhere else. I took her to all type of boba or Asian tea places and as soon as she tastes their drinks she say “ this taste horrible. Cozy tea loft is the best. “ I have taken her to Molly tea and all the famous tea places, she still wants cozy tea loft. She has been drinking the same drink “ Mango Lavender green tea with double the leechy.” Ithink it’s embedded into my daughter’s blood. If she doesn’t have tea from cozy tea loft, she will get bad grades. 🤣 anyways that all I got to share with everyone. I think it’s the way they make the tea. I could taste the difference from other places too. Other places may have a super fancy place but their tea tastes fake. The owners of cozy tea loft are so nice. We always have great laugh when we talk. Cozy tea loft is pretty much the best place to get the best tasting and healthiest drink from.“

“Great customer service and yummy“

“holy moly this is probably one of the best banana matchas i’ve ever had. the banana matcha cream is thick and has a strong, natural banana flavor. the matcha itself isn’t bitter and pairs well with the cream (the banana flavor is much more prominent and the matcha is less intense) i got 50% sweet and it’s quite sweet so go a bit lower if you prefer a more subtle sweet. overall for $8.50, recommend!!!“

“I love this place so much I been going here everyday just to get away from my home lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ everyone that works here is very nice and very kind“

“The Newark location has great atmosphere, very friendly people, and boba always taste great! The Dirty Boba is fire....LITERALLY!!!“

“Overall really good. Authentic boba tea, would definitely come again.

I got the Jasmine mango tea at 25% with boba. The boba was ultra soft. I really like that you could taste the tea but I think 25% was a little low because the Jasmine was pretty strong.. I would go up a % next time.

The menu had a lot of options, along with unique seasonal items.

Pretty decent parking in the back, inside was clean and they had two kiosks that were pretty easy to navigate.“

“Stellar customer service!
Bought my tea, and was about to get into my car, but I dropped the cup. Drinks on the parking lot! The tea-maker near the door saw the accident, and offered to make another free of charge. I offered to pay, but he refused. It made my day!

Tea is good 😊

But, what a great service to a new customer!

(Since, it was not a new order, I dropped a new tip of equal value of the drink. He refused to take it. I said, I am not from the neighborhood, so I will not be able to become a repeat customer to offset your free drink. He still didn't want to take the money. Finally, I left it on a table on my way out)“

“Woteva they have dat’s onolicious!!!!!“

“This milk tea place is really cute and welcoming. The drinks are good and refreshing, and the menu has solid options if you’re in the mood for something quick. It’s a nice spot to stop by for a grab-and-go drink or a short hangout with friends. Simple, easy, and worth checking out if you’re nearby“

“A pretty decent tea spot that some how I've never been to or any of their locations even living here so long.

Had their Thai Tea Brulee and it was pretty dang good, would definitely order it again.

Pricing wise they aren't that off the local norm so would recommend.“

“I had strawberry croffle with mango avocado slush. Croffle is like a croissant cooked in a waffle maker. Its sweet and matches well with the whip cream and strawberry. It was so good that i finished every bit including the whip cream. Something to definitely try!“

“Very easy ordering online. I picked up dinner at 7:30pm on a Sunday night, and there were still many families eating. Warm and convivial atmosphere. I've tried and enjoyed the pork vermicelli and the grilled pork plate. My friend had chicken pho. We were both super happy with our orders. Fresh ingredients and the perfect proportion of veggies to come w the dish. I find some other restaurants skimp here, but I really love how the pickled carrots and radish and lettuce balance out the grilled meat.“

“I love Ding Tea House’s drinks because they are cheap and delicious. Moreover, the store’s view looks so nice.“

“Good place to hang out with friends“

“Knowledgeable staff helped me find a new favorite tea. Prices are a bit steep, but worth it.“

“IMO Macu Tea is so underrated! I love the avocado smoothie they have here and that additional touch of tea jelly and mango chunks in the drink makes it so unique and tasty!

Another drink that’s good is the king mango, fresh mangos blended with nicely cut up fruits in it.

Great spot!“

“Very delicious food and nice place“

“Great Cafe with amazing hosts!

Fresh preparation of traditional coffee and chai items, options are limited but worth it.

Food items- sandwiches, puffs and bagels are available and prepared fresh, relaxing and calm atmosphere to work or chat with friends.

Recommended visiting over any brand outlet cafes anyday.

Outdoor and Indoor seating options are great.
Free WiFi is a bonus.“

“tea and snack are great!“

“A pretty solid pho restaurant in the area. The building is pretty unique, that's all on its own area in a plaza and it looks like a lot prettier prior to a renovation of some kind. It looks that they deleted off some of the walls and redid some of the seating and the colors of a little more muted too. At least there's a gumball machine. Speaking of which, they have an extensive menu with a lot of pho and rice dishes and even some sandwiches and even milk tea! I had to shaken beef and it came with some french fries that were crinkle cut and was not too bad! It was a little chewy even with the meat but it's okay, at least the onions and bell peppers wernt raw or anything else. I absolutely love their spring rolls! It's got the normal feelings like the noodles and the bean sprouts and the shrimp and chicken, but they also put a Chinese donut stick inside too! That made it a little crunchy and I really liked that! The price was also pretty good for the quantity that you received, which wasn't the same that I could say the same for every other dish here at $6. The shaken beef was $17... They also had a milk tea for $6. All of this was pretty easy to order and because there wasn't a lot of people today on a weekday service was really fast and easy. Payment is also easy too as you get up from your table to pay as well as obtain any takeout boxes as needed.“

“I got a taro milkshake with boba with my father along with a grape lemon slushy! I liked my drink and my Dad didn’t have to pay vey much! We had a great father-daughter outing there! We consider coming back next time.“

“A tea and coffee shop at story road specialized in matcha , milk tea, coffee, fruit tea and other cold drink.
It also serves pastries. The shop is not that big but it has table and seating area. I stopped by while waiting for table for my lunch.
I order mango passion fruit oolong tea. Phin black. The drink were ready pretty quickly.
The mango passion fruit oolong tea was nice. The coffee is nice too.
The service was nice and will stop by again next time to try other drink.“

“Good place to hang out with friends“

“Great“

“Today I stopped by Happy Lemon and was really satisfied with the service. The staff were very friendly and cheerful. When I saw the Genshin Impact poster, I mentioned that I also play the game. The staff member happily chatted with me about it and even gave me a cup printed with my favorite character.

It was such a sweet and memorable experience. I really like this Happy Lemon location and will definitely come back many more times. It truly deserves 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“For the people that can't read the store hours and leave 1 star reviews, y'all are lame🫵😂 This is the taro/coconut drink I ordered, the drink came out perfect. This is the 2nd drink I have ordered with satisfaction, the taste, and ratios were spot on. Hoping the best for this teazen location. The staff is still learning and patience goes a long way.“

“It’s very delicious tea! Fresh, good tasting !“

“I’m always looking forward to my next meal here! I must say, Pho Dac Biet was my favorite. 😍“

“Egg coffee 10/10 , must try!“
