12 Best Bubble Tea in San Mateo

“Eating lunch here right now with the family on a weekend. The service is very friendly and speedy. The space is also very clean and open. The place is kind of tucked away in office buildings but there was still a good amount of people here on a weekend. The kids loved the pond area outside to run around and look at the ducks. The food is also very good. Lots of light and heartier options. We got masubis, loco moco and bibimbop bowls along with some drinks. We’ll definitely be back especially since the kids love it here.“

“I really enjoyed the floral aroma of the jasmine tea combined with the creamy milk, it made the drink feel refreshing and unique. One thing to note is that Molly Tea doesn’t offer a wide variety of toppings. If you’re a fan of black tapioca pearls, you won’t find them here; they only have white pearls. The sweetness level is also well balanced, not overly sweet, so it’s easy to finish a whole drink without feeling overwhelmed. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I’d love to come back to try some of their other floral tea flavors.“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“Black sugar milk tea ! Yummy“

“太棒了，肉品沒吃多少，倒是吃了好幾磅的櫻桃🍒“

“NEW in the Highlands: At last, our own boba tea joint and it’s awesome! RareTea took over the Hawaiian BBQ space, and it’s serving up Okinawa and Jasmine milk teas every bit as good as it is back in Taiwan 🇹🇼! Props to the owners braving COVID shutdown and having a go at their small business — from the looks on the little kids’ faces, we are glad and we will be back, often! 🥤 🌞 🇹🇼“

“Best tuna melt I ever had. Thank you so much. I enjoyed my lunch.“

“I love the passion fruit tea! You have to try it!!!!“

“My first time at TP TEA. I got a lemon black tea with boba. It seemed to have real lemon bits inside. The drink size was large. My sister and mother both complained that the tea was too strong, too bitter. My drink was kind of bitter, too, but it was mostly because of the lemon rather than the tea. I didn’t focus on it much, I enjoyed my drink. I ordered it at 50% sweetness, but it still tasted more sweet. The boba pearls were also oddly small, I swallowed a few on accident.

Overall, would I come to TP TEA again? Most certainly yes. Would I choose it over the other boba stores that I go to regularly? No. But I had a good time. 4/5.“

“Fresh mango, strawberry and other real fruit in their desserts.

They make their own herbal grass jelly. It's so much better than what comes out of a can. Great dessert shop. They have shaved ice dessert with mochi, hot black sesame, and red bean desserts too

The fried mochi balls are so good and waffles too“

“Teaspoon is always a solid boba spot! I enjoy coming to this location because it’s surrounded by so many great shops, and the area is very walkable if you want to take a nice stroll afterward. The drinks are consistently good, and my personal favorites are the Silky Mango and Jasmine Milk Tea. Definitely a great spot to grab a drink while exploring the area!“

“One of my favorite bubble tea spots in the area! Since I live nearby, I'm a regular here—and I’ve pretty much tasted most of the menu, including their snacks.

Some of my personal favorites are the Vietnamese coffee, amber ice, peach with crema, white crystal with agar, honeydew, and their flavored teas. They offer drinks both hot and cold, and everything can be customized to your taste. I especially love that you can even split the cup into halves—super convenient!

Don’t miss the popcorn chicken—it's a must-try snack!

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the friendly staff and the amazing customer service. Keep up the great work, team!“
