    Mochi Mango & Jasmine Green Latte w/ Salted Foam
    Rachel L.

    Yummy! I really enjoyed how fragrant my jasmine tea was with just the right amount of bitterness and creamy foam in top. The mochi mango drink was really delicious but in the sweeter side. I wanna be back to try more drinks. Our drinks came out within a few minutes and it was pretty much empty when we came. The place itself looks very clean and spacious but there was a weird sour smell.

    Cute cat themed boba shop! So many cats everywhere. Their cat logos are printed on the walls. Mini cat figurines in different poses fill up the counter. The Mango Sweet Dew had real chunks of fresh mango inside. The blended smoothie also includes jasmine green tea, coconut milk, house made milk, agar boba, and pomelo. Rich taste and thick consistency. It paired well with the Brown Sugar Boba that really soaked up the brown sugar flavor well. The Cheese Strawberry had real bits of strawberry and was creamy from the cheese mousse. This blended smoothie has jasmine green tea as well. We also added Agar Boba, which was nice and chewy. They have a kiosk at the front counter to place and customize your drinks. The wait time can take a while, so would recommend ordering ahead online. I liked that both drinks have fresh fruit in them and the fruity taste really comes forward. Very cooling and refreshing. Will return to try other drinks and toppings!

    First time trying 3Catea, and overall we really enjoyed it! We ordered the Avo Mango Sweet Dew and the Mochi Mango, and both drinks stood out for their unique textures and flavor combinations. The avocado mango drink was smooth and creamy without being too heavy, and the mochi mango was fun and different, especially if you like chewy textures in your drinks. The person we went with had tried 3Catea previously in SoCal and mentioned that it didn't quite taste the same or that the mochi felt a bit different, so now we're definitely curious to try it again at another location for comparison. That said, for us personally, we still enjoyed both drinks and appreciated how different they were from your typical boba options. The interior was clean, and the staff was nice and welcoming, which always helps with a first impression. Overall, a solid first experience and a spot we'd be open to revisiting, especially if you're in the mood for something a little more unique.

    Pleasantly surprised with the quality here! I heard 3CAT comes from SoCal, but I rarely hear people talk about it up in the Bay. The green tea drinks were tea forward and delicious. I would definitely come back to try other drinks on the menu. RECS: + Jade matcha ($7.25, 4.5/5 stars) had a matcha forward cream top and paired with the jasmine milk tea was delicious + Jasmine cheese mousse ($6.25, 4.5/5 stars) had a pleasant jasmine taste paired with airy cheese foam!

    Mochi Barley Burst
    William L.

    One of the Best Asian Drink Spots in the South Bay - and I've tried many! The drinks here taste premium and high-quality. We ordered the Mochi Mango and the Mochi Barley Burst. The Mochi Mango was a standout - light, refreshing, and creamy with a milkshake-like texture. Once I took a sip, I couldn't put it down. Yes, it's that good! The texture might be a new experience for some people, but it's worth trying if you want to explore the creative side of what a drink can be. If you enjoy fruity, creamy, and delicious drinks, get the Mochi Mango. Think: an Asian-style mango milkshake. Next, we tried the Mochi Barley Burst, which is Floral Black Tea with popping boba and mochi. The tea itself is excellent - not overly sweet, with just the right balance of sugar that still allows the tea flavor to shine. Many places tend to drown their tea with sugar, milk or syrup, but not here. You can tell the tea quality is high. As for the toppings, the popping boba and mochi were decent - fun for texture, but not particularly flavorful. The mochi is minimal and at the bottom. If you're in the mood for something different, it's worth trying; otherwise, I'd recommend the regular Floral Black Milk Tea and save a dollar or two, or opt for adding boba. Overall, 3Cattea is easily one of the better Asian drink spots in the South Bay, and the prices justify the premium taste. Highly recommend!! Bonus Tip: If you order togo, you get a nice takeout bag that you can reuse for other purposes.

    Mochi Mango is like the best mango milkshake

    I only had 1 drink here and I'm sold. The mochi mango is a refreshing dessert if you're a fan of milkshakes. Last night I was craving a milkshake for the first time in months. I got a Five Guys Oreo shake for about $7 and I thought it was a little too thick and too sweet. Less than 24 hours later, my wife got this mochi mango drink and this turned out to be the milkshake of my dreams. Mochi Mango (5 stars) + Creaminess dulls the sweetness or maybe because we asked for less sugar + Mango mochi at the bottom can be mixed so it's more even but I don't mind the division of goodness. It adds a silky smooth texture to the drink! + Best milkshake density is the only way I can describe how easy it was for me to slurp this delightful dessert drink Service (5 stars) + Didn't have to wait too long although it was somewhat crowded + Kiosk ordering is always a plus Ambiance (Clean) + That's all I can ask for

    Mochi Mango  Biscoff Jasmine with Mochi
    Shandy T.

    I ordered a jasmine biscoff with mochi and I really liked the drink! I personally don't think there was enough biscoff cookie flavor but the drink was still good. The wait did take a while but there was quite a crowd. Store didn't have a lot of seats and people were just standing around, very much a grab and go place.

    Originally ordered the Jasmine milk tea and Mochi Mango, but was told they ran out of jasmine and were brewing another batch; additional 15 minutes. Appreciate that they gave me the option to wait or pick another drink. I went with the Floral black milk tea instead. Not my first choice since I usually don't like "floral" teas, but when I asked if it was really floral, both workers giggled. Drinks did take a while even though the shop wasn't busy, so be prepared to wait. Not docking stars for it, but definitely not the spot if you're in a rush. Store is nice and clean, with a single row of seating (not really a hangout spot for groups). The menu could use clearer descriptions. I was a little intimidated at first glance. Like, what exactly is a "Dragon Well milk tea" or "Floral milk tea"? That said, the Floral black milk tea turned out great. Fragrant, smooth, and not overly floral at all. Wish there was more ice, though. Their "latte" straws (three mini straws stuck together) are... unique, but kinda weird. My only wish is that they'd change the milk tea cups. The design makes them look like hot drinks when they're iced. The Mochi Mango was a winner: great texture from the mochi, creamy, real fruit, not overly sweet, and the crunchy bits worked well. Will definitely be back to try more drinks and to reorder these two favorites.

    As for premium pricing and LA boba places to Bay Area. I've never had this place before in LA, so can't compare. This Milpitas place is the only one one the bay area! It is one of the best boba teas I've had. Each drink is closer to ~$10, but wow the flavours are layered and really freaking fruity. -I had the Abo Mango tea and they blend up real mango with a creamy fresh milk top. It really does make up the price because of how premium it does taste. advice: multiple drinks:: order ahead with door dash and it's about ~30mins or less, depending how busy. It is a clean newer place with ambience music inside. Staff is responsive and accurate when getting an order. You can order from terminal or if not counter. They display pre hand some drink orders because of the work it takes. Overall, A must try boba places for the money. -Parking can get hard to find. -Every drink is a good choice, it is also A/C, for these hot summer days. Would recommend & going back for the experience.

    There's 4 boba places in the plaza so parking can get tight. But out of all of them, I really like 3Cat's drinks. It's very premium and close in comparison to Molly Tea or Hay Tea. Wait times are a bit long but it's worth a try if you're willing to wait and willing to drive all the way to another place for the same premium type of tea. 2 digital Kiosks to order from. I tried the Mochi Matcha - Less Sugar ($6.75) and the AvoMango Sweet Dew - Very Less Sugar ($7.25) and bother tasted really good. Mango was more on the sour side for me, but my mom really liked it so it might depend on your taste palette. I really like their mochi topping in the matcha drink! Like one other comment said, substitution and add-ons could make your drink cost like $10 but if you get your drink the way it is, then it just costs like any other boba place these days.

    Mango Mochi Mango and Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea
    Grace C.

    The mochi topping here is so delicious!! The tea is fragrant, the tea jelly is a bit sweet. The texture on the mango slush with the crunch topping and mochi topping is great, bonus that it's caffeine free! Only complaint is that the dairy free options are pretty lacking AND expensive. It's not offered on every drink and can only be subbed for oat milk for an extortionate, extra dollar... Once you sub milk and add toppings, you're looking at a nearly $10 drink, which is a no go except for the rare occasional treat.

    Came here on a Sunday and ordering was super fast since there's 2 kiosks! I liked how spacious it was inside and I LOVE cats it was so cute to look at I ordered the Jade Matcha! Heard great things about it and it was sooo yummy! I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since and it's so out of the way but I'm willing to drive there again soon My friend got the Mochi Mango and it was super yummy too! A bit sweet so I would reccomend lowering the sweetness unless u have a bit sweet tooth :p

    I have question on the avomango smoothies. Does it come with any other fruits except avocado and mango? What about the dairy?

    Is there non-caffeine drinks here?

    Yes! Their "Fresh Fruit & Tea" and "Fresh Milk" drinks include some non-caffeinated options. Just take a look at their menu online or in-store.

    What time do you close?

    8 pm, 7 days a week!

    The other place for boba tea without paying extra for pearls. It was my first back because I felt…read morelike having one since I didn't want to drive to the 99 Ranch/Milpitas Square shopping center. And because I was coming from Fremont back after shopping in the Fremont Warm Springs area. Excellent service all around. Got the basic boba with pearls. Same price as Fantasia. Will definitely return if I shop at Lion Supermarket or even McDonald's.

    Ten Ren Tea is located in the City Square Center. Parking may be hit or miss here, as this plaza…read moregets pretty busy. The exterior is simple, while on the interior, they are an actual tea shop that also sells boba tea. The service was a miss - the employees did not seem that friendly or welcoming upon walking in and during the ordering process. I was sent to the other counter to pay and trying to pay was a hassle because that employee was more focused on having a full on conversation with someone else than to ring me up. My drink was already done and waiting for me at the previous counter and I was still not helped, until I had to say something. I ordered their Green Milk Tea with boba and grass jelly - about $7 for a large, which is not that expensive compared to most other competitors for that size. The milk tea tasted so watered down and overly sweeten though, so I was not able to finish drinking it. I went a few stores down for another boba drink.
