I love tastea Evergreen so much that I ordered from this particular location for my wedding. Drinks are good and consistent. I always order ahead via the app to avoid a wait. 5 stars for their supervisor, Izzy. She is so friendly, always greets you with a smile, and I think the drinks taste a little better when she makes them. :)

Visited this store this morning and was quite disappointed this time. I ordered hot Thai milk tea and hot Taro milk tea. It took nearly 40 minutes to prepare our drinks. There was only one person at the front store and it looked like he had to prepare lots of online orders. Milk teas are not really good either. But the ambiance is nice and the store is clean.

Gawd -- they have a 32 ounce size for their boba!! That takes me back to the days of the Big Gulp from 7-11 when I was a kid. So when you feel a craving to slam down a huge bucket of sugar, you know where to go.

We love Tastea. They offer milk tea and teas and smoothies. I always like trying a different kind each time and we enjoy the snacks that they offer. Service is pretty quick and ambiance can get loud but overall a good boba shop that offers a variety of drinks and toppings!

Last time I'll ever waste my money in this establishment. Clearly, there hasn't been any improvement in customer service at this boba shop. I already expected a long wait ordering here due to the limited amount of shops open during Christmas so I ordered ahead and even then, I waited pass the "due by" time they provided to leave my house. I arrived 30 minutes after I ordered online and I asked the person handing out the drinks if she could check my order and she completely ignored me.Instead, I took a step back and looked behind the counter if my drinks were ready and I didn't see any hot drinks so I continued to wait. Another worker mentions to the person handing out the drinks that their machine is broken for the hot drinks so she'll just pop in the microwave. Seriously? Why did I even pay for my hot drink if I knew they're just going to microwave it. I knew she was talking about my drink so I come up to the counter again to check to see if the other drinks were ready and all I got was "we're still waiting on your hot drink." Overall wait time was about 40 minutes for an online order and by the time I received my cold drinks, the ice had already melted since the hot drink was taking a long time to make. I understand that it was busy, but super disappointed at my experience overall: long wait time, inefficient workers, broken machines, and bad customer service. Why pay a little over $7 for terrible customer service and subpar boba when there are sooo many other boba establishments in SJ? I'll take my money elsewhere.

You really can't go wrong with a solid boba chain like Tastea. This location is a bit off the beaten path but my friend and I had lunch right next door, so this was the perfect dessert to grab before our salon date.Their menu is as vast as you'd expect other large boba chains in the Bay Area. All the teas are brewed individually with the flavor syrups being responsible for your added sugar intake.They offer non-dairy milk options which is what I always look for whenever I frequent a shop. I ordered a regular milk tea with soy milk and boba, and it hit the spot. Shop worker was very nice and my drink came out quickly.If you get overwhelmed by the options, be sure to ask the workers there for recommendations. All boba lovers will have a go-to they can recommend.

I usually love Tastea but this location was not it. It was almost 20 minutes and still hadn't received my drink. I noticed the girl in front of me went up and asked about her drink and they gave it to her. I went up and they also had my drink sitting behind the counter. No apology or anything for the long wait/that they didn't call our names. They were calling names previously so not sure why they stopped. The girl after me proceeded to do the same thing. The drink was fine, as normal except they seem a bit more stingy on the toppings than the other locations I've been to. I had asked if they did catering for weddings and the girl said she thought so and gave me the owner's business card so that was nice of her. Unfortunately, I would not be doing catering with this location since I did not have a great experience!

Great! The food and drinks are wonderful, but a little too sweet. The "light" sweet choice should be a less sweet though in my opinion. The service here is amazing and the employees are friendly, helpful, attentive, courteous, and kind. I highly recommend this place because the ambiance is nice, plus the staff are hardworking. I give this place 5 stars for the quick service and the place itself.
Today I visited Tastea. Drink was made perfectly.I sat outside to enjoy the morning weather and drink. When I needed to use the restroom, I asked the staff for the code to the restroom and I was quickly answered back," Restroom is for customers only."I had to humbly explain to this young man that we just made a purchase and that we were sitting outside enjoying the drink. He looked at me. Profiled me. And reluctantly gave me the restroom code so I can use their restroom. I have never been asked to humble myself, for my looks and appearance as a customer to use the restroom, but there I was, humbling and explain that I was a paying customer.This is San Jose. There are definitely more choices for me to spend my money. Tastea will not be one of them. Ownership will need to review their discrimination and profile practice that they have instituted with their staff.

REVIEW PREVIEWI am an extremely picky person and probably the most picky person you’ll ever meet. So 4 or 5 out of 5 or anything 7.5 or higher out of 10 is really an achievement for that restaurant. In that case, here is my review, by Nicolas!I would give this restaurant an 8/10!!!The mango one is so good! I love that you can customize your drink to perfection and it is very tastea! However, maybe just a little bit less sugar would be ok as well. The only reason why I took off a star(or 2 if out of 10), is because the service isn’t always perfect and the inside is not the greatest design during busier hours.

Went here on their 5 year anniversary and it was packed but they had a lot of staff to accommodate. I was able to get a tshirt which was only for the first 100 people and even spin the wheel for a prize. My go to drink is the peach me sweetea which I feel you can’t really get anywhere else in San Jose, especially that size and flavor combination. I always get the fries because I like the texture of them and now they added 3 near flavors of bbq, sour cream and onion, and jalapeño lime. The main reason why I go here over every other milk tea spots is online ordering. They have an app and it makes ordering painless. You order and pick up by the time it tells you, in and out.

The last time wrote a review for this location it was 5 years ago and they recently had their 5 year anniversary which I attended and was able to score some goodies. The first 100 people got a custom anniversary tshirt. This location has held the test of time and looks the same. The drinks are still my top 3 in fruit teas. You can't get this size and flavor combination anywhere else.

My daughter just picked up our drinks and my avocado smoothie was like water consistency, but worse than that, the matcha thai milk tea had a piece of metal shaving on the boba. She discovered it after sipping through the straw. Been going there for years and this is unacceptable!!!! Unbelievable! Very dangerous!!!
