I stopped into Tiger Sugar looking for a sweet treat on a Sunday afternoon and there was no line. I ordered a regular sized Thai Tea with boba, which was ready super quick (maybe less than a minute!). The drink was tasty, sweet with enough tea flavor and soft boba. They ask you to shake it to distribute the boba and sugar, but it's worth noting that the lids aren't super sturdy. Mine started to tear open from the hole made by the straw.

Really great brown sugar milk here. I got the small matcha brown sugar and it was good! Has a true matcha taste and it was a bit bitter but I got it less sweet. I mixed the brown sugar in and it tasted better. Friends got the most popular drink here and they equally enjoyed it. We all weren't sure if the drink comes with boba because it wasn't clearly stated. Decided to ask one of the workers and she answered very rudely. -1 star for service. Other than that, our drinks came out fast and you order on the kiosk. Not sure if they take cash?

The last time I was here was 18 months ago and the prices are the same as before which is quite amazing with the cost of living as it is upon entry I was greeted by a friendly staff and on the front counter there's a self service kiosk where you placed your orders payable by credit or debit card. I chose passion fruit green tea large size regular ice 50% sweetness no toppings for a mere $5.50 they have one for regular as well. Service was quick and it's only take-out no room for dine-in or outdoor seating. Would be nice if they had added appetizers/snacks on their menu list. Saturday afternoon not a good time with so many shoppers out and about though parking is a hit or miss depending how late in the day it is. There are a few business that stayed open till 9 or 10 in the evening among them is Tiger Sugar located in a large Asian Mall right across from Costco.

This is the first time getting a drink from here. I've been to the Cupertino store a couple of times. Nice service. They were just about closing up at 8:30pm as I and two other customers walled in the store while she was moping. Oops, sorry! But, she warned us to be careful. Awww, how sweet. Black Sugar Milk: Their famous #1 Signature Milk drink, which they are best known for. Featuring their famous Black Sugar, Premium Organic Straus Barista Milk, and Cream mousse. They were out of their boba, but had the smaller ones.

I got the Strawberry Mochi with Oat Milk. There was no way to adjust the sweetness due to the mix being pre-made. The drink was very very good. The sweetness was ever so slightly too sweet for me but the flavor is just too worth it. I do not know how they get it to that taste but it is something I recommend if you are tired of the brown sugar teas or want something different. There is this particular topping, which I believe is the Mochi, that is so good. It's like a Mochi that has a more watery, slurpable texture that compliments the drink very well.

Drink was 7.5/10 and service was 10/10! I had the Lychee Green Tea and my partner had the Strawberry Mochi! I got my drink at the recommended sweetness which was 50% and I'm glad I did because it's still really sweet to me. If it was 100% I think I would've been on a sugar rush! I think next time I'll go for 25% When I took the first sip, it tasted sour, but after I drank it a couple more times, it was fine! I think my tastebuds were just out of place initially. I had a few sips of my boyfriend's drink and it was creamy, sweet, and delicious! I really like the mochi that's in it. It's soft and chewy! The little bits of strawberries and the mango jelly gives the drink a nice balance of texture! It's not overpowering the drink at all! The service was quick and simple. The cashier greeted us right as we stepped in and took our order pretty fast. There's also a kiosk there if you want to avoid socializing. At the register, they also provided notes on the drinks such as the ice and sugar level! It's nice for those unsure of how they want their drink to be! Overall, I would come here again to try their other items!

Ordered the oolong milk tea hot. It was just ok. Tea taste is not that strong. It also took a while for the drink to be made even though we were the only people there.

I was on my way to a lady tailor's house to pick my blouse that she stitched. On the way I was feeling thirsty and was craving tea. I know one of my friends highly recommends this place hence decided to get it from here. I ordered leechy green tea with leechy gel and 25% sugar with no ice. The service was so great within minutes the order was taken and it was ready in no time. I found the place very cute, it was interesting to see a board saying, beware of .. But anyway be aware ?. If you happen to be in San Jose, do visit here as they are famous for black sugar boba milk.

The roasted oolong was great. The orange soda was just so so that is not worth.

The service is really quick and the people were friendly! There's a self service kiosk and it's next to a bunch of great food places. I wanted to get brown sugar cause I was craving it which never happens. I got the drink and for how expensive it was, even with light ice the drink was 70% ice . They're definitely better places but it wasn't terrible.

We love getting tiger boba they are so good when we go down to San Jose. Costumer service was good and friendly.

The drink was very good, but not this time. Asked for less ice, and found ice are more than half of the cup. It drinks like iced water, after I finished it within 3 minutes, the rest are all ice.
