Teaspoon in San Mateo is a popular tea and boba shop, celebrated for its traditional Chinese teas and customizable drinks. The menu includes a variety of flavorful options, with customer favorites like 'Liquid gold,' 'fresh cucumber lychee,' and the newly praised Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea. This drink is noted for its rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed tea that strikes a balance between sweetness and the creamy milk flavor. The boba pearls are described as soft, chewy, and fresh, enhancing the drinking experience.
Teaspoon offers early morning hours, making it easy for customers to grab coffee and boba tea before work. Although the location does not participate in the loyalty points program and uses a different ordering system, it remains a favorite spot. Customers appreciate the shop's friendly staff, especially Emmy, who is highlighted for her amazing drink-making skills and exceptional service. She is known for her kindness and ability to remember orders with a smile, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
The shop features paper straws, though some customers have suggested that their quality could be better as they tend to break easily. Recently, visitors enjoyed trying the Ube Vietnamese Coffee and Vietnamese Frappuccino, complimenting the staff for their friendliness and helpfulness.
