Really good and refreshing drinks. Lots of options and something different from normal boba shops. Definitely worth trying. Service was friendly and pretty quick. The place has a chill, relaxed vibe, nice spot to hang out and enjoy a drink. Not fancy, but comfortable and clean. read more

3.5 stars. We have always liked Bambu. We used to frequent the Pleasanton location a lot; but, their hours were extremely minimal and it was obvious they would not survive being open ~4 hours a day. Unfortunately they closed a few years ago so the closest Bambu to the tri valley is probably this location, believe it or not. The drinks are done very well. However, the interaction I had between the employees on two different occasions were very "robotic". I cannot think of a better term at the moment; but, it's very minimal and not friendly at all. I can understand being an introvert; but, I watch the exchange among other customers as I'm waiting for my drinks and yes; very dry and not friendly. My girls like the ambiance in the back of the restaurant where they remove their shoes or sandals and sit on the floor as they sip on their drinks. There is no tatami mat; but, it definitely reminds them of Japan. Since we like the drinks at Bambu; I know my girls will continue to ask to come here so I'll occasionally make the drive out here. read more

My coworkers and I decided to have a Friday order to sweeten the last couple of hours. Bambu has so many choices. I decided to try the Hazelnut milk tea with boba. It was pretty good. We had fun doing a photo shoot with our drinks. lol Hazelnut milk tea Mangonada Thai milk tea Strawberry yogurt Coconut combo read more

Was craving Bambu so we decided to swing by here for the second time. I remember the first time we came we were disappointed with the quality and flavor of our che. But we decided to give this location another chance. I love the new interior they have going on, it's super cute! However the drinks definitely got worse- not only is the flavor lacking but the coconut milk curdled upon mixing my dessert?? This has never happened to us before and when eating this dessert there's like grainy fibrous coconut curdles in our drink which was not pleasant. Look at the photo of my drink after mixing, the consistency is so weird, even before mixing the coconut milk looked curdled already. The fillings of our Che was also over cooked and bland :( we were so disappointed. read more

Bambu Desserts & Drinks - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Came here off the whim to try a new dessert spot and my friend recommended it to me! There are so many dessert options but I wasn't really sure what to order and what was good. I shortly realized that #2 was one of the more popular ones and all my friends got this and enjoyed it. It came with red beans, mung beans, taro, boba, pandan jelly, rainbow jellies and coconut milk. Had so much texture and was pretty good. What I personally got was their Bambu Special #1, I thought this was their signature drink but it was very unflavorful and not the best. I personally couldn't finish the drink. Side note that doesn't affect the review was that there decor was so random, it was a little bit of decor from all cultures in there lol. read more

I came here at night, and here's my experience: I ordered the Bambu Special, which came with coconut water, basil seeds, longan, pandan jelly, and coconut meat. It was a refreshing drink, not too sweet and very fresh. One downside is that the longan was super sweet, which didn't quite match the light taste of the coconut water. When I arrived, the shop wasn't too crowded. It was clean and cozy, though the decoration looked a bit messy. Shout-out to the cashier who kindly helped me split my cup into two. I'll definitely come back to try other desserts and leave another review! read more

I've been to a number of these bamboo restaurants, but never one down here in Sunnyvale. I always get their Pandan Waffle and usually #4 or #7, up in The City- but apparently here the number system is slightly different. Lol we got our Boba drinks rather quickly, which was great since we were thirsty, but the Pandan waffles took some time to make. The Pandan waffles were made fresh and literally so hot. They were burning my fingertips!! My friend got the strawberry bubble waffle and to her surprise her strawberries were frozen solid! Lol we joked how mine was so hot it literally burnt my fingertips and then hers was so frozen. It nearly cracked her tooth! As we enjoyed the warm climate on this Saturday evening, it was rather warm inside, but outside it was windy and cold. Sadly, my friend spilled her Taro Lover drink, and as we were finishing up, and both the employees that worked there couldn't figure out what to do to help us clean up. The majority of the drink spilled on my friend's shirt and dripped down to the ground. The employees didn't have any cleaning towels for us to use and clean up the mess or my friend's clothes and her sticky arm. The whole clean up situation was just awkward...... we ended up using a BUNCH of napkins and got napkins wet from the bathroom to clean up. Overall, I don't think I will get another Pandan waffle here again, but I'll probably get a drink as take out. read more

Worst $7.50 spent!! DO NOT COME HERE. The order looked promising visually. Then disaster struck!!... I got the jelly combo (coconut milk, grass jelly, red tapioca, pandan jelly). First off, the pandan jelly was not chewy, but stale and soft. The tapioca jelly had a 3-DAY OLD TASTE to it, they were hard/mushy/chunky. It's like it sat out for 24hrs, was frozen and then thawed BARELY back to life. This was terrible!! My experience at various Bambu locations have NEVER been consistent, but this was absolutely terrible! SERVICE: fast, efficient, clean ambiance inside with plenty seating. Good study space read more

Randomly stopped by this place while we were in the area. It looked like there was some street parking outside. Plenty of seats and tables inside as well. They made the drinks pretty fast even when mine was a smoothie. -avocado smoothie: 3/5, I wish they used more avocados or ones that were more ripe. It was good but the avocado flavor wasn't super strong. It tasted like they might've used a lot of sugar to help the sweetness. Thai tea: 3/5, My boyfriend said it was good. It wasn't too sweet at all. It just didn't stand out. If we are in the area, I would def come in to grab a drink. I would explore their menu a bit more because they are known more for their dessert drinks. read more

I've patronized several Bambu locations and would share that the Sunnyvale location offers unique and cozy seating areas. On one end it felt like I was sitting under a pagoda. In the middle, there were counter top seating for individual experiences to work/study. On the opposite end was a sit-down gathering area that requests for shoe removal. The fun decor with lanterns, plants, neon light, and television playing calming new age music was inviting. I ordered the Bambu Special, Bambu Favorite and pandan waffle. All were delicious and delivers nostalgia of desserts I grew up with. I will definitely visit each time I'm back in the area again! read more

Cute store. It has been awhile since I have been back. They have a cute seating area in the back. I like it that the drinks are not too sweet. I tried the combo special, it was delicious and filling.

They have a wide variety of drinks! The shop is colorful and cute, with seating available inside. #6 I tried chè for the first time. It had a high ratio of fruit and toppings compared to the liquid, so it felt more like a dessert than a drink. The drink has a lot of different textures! Mangonada My husband went for the large size. The mango chunks were soft and fresh, making it a super refreshing drink. I wasn't too hungry when I visited, so I personally preferred the Mangonada over #6. Next time, I'll try something other than chè and see what else they have! read more

Came here at 10:30a hoping to grab a drink. The doors are closed. Hours posted on Yelp and Google both indicate as open today. Not sure if they are having a hard time finding consistent help. Very disappointed. read more

I tried a Thai blended slush with boba. The ratios were just way off on this. It mostly just tasted like ice with a subtle Thai tea and sweetness. Maybe other items are good but this was well below the bar compared to other Thai tea slushes. Maybe they do traditional Thai iced tea better but avoid the slush drinks. read more

I think the only downside of this location is that the prices are a bit high. However, that is what you get around here in terms of prices so it is not entirely unreasonable. The main attraction of this location is its house prepared coconut milk/water. If you're looking for something less sweet, I'd recommend the special. The rest are a bit higher calorically, but they are definitely sweet treats that are hard to beat! Came in after dinner since we were around the area, and we were on the hunt for a sweet treat. I like their location down in SoCal too, so it's great to know that they are just as good up here! Great place to chill and talk as there is ample seating. There was probably only one person working the cash register and making the drinks, so it did admittedly take a while to get everyone's drinks, but that is very understandable. Very nice and clean location, so happy to come back again in the near future! read more

Their DoorDash is completely messed up. I tried door dashing two pandan waffles because I saw there was a deal and also ube halo halo. It said preparing my order and then it said canceled because dasher ran into issues. I looked online and their store hours said they're closed. I had to deal with getting a refund and it was very annoying. Make sure your hours align on delivery services because this is ridiculous for a customer to have to experience. read more

I usually visit on Saturdays during the farmers market, they seem to be slower w guests during that time, or less busy, I order my coffee or tea and they come out quickly!

I enjoy how they've decorated for holidays like Christmas and lunar new year read more

WOw I am loving this Bambu here at this Sunnyvale location! Just across the street from my favorite Bober Tea shop! I have been such a long time fan of Bambu for their refreshing drinks, Great Smoothies, boba Teas, and of course my favorite Vietnamese Desserts (Che) and their delightful Ice creams as well. Such Creative Fancy Decors and I love the beautiful indoor and outdoor seatings! Lovely, warm, inviting Vibes. There a few other Bambu in the Bay Area but this one truly my favorite by far! Plenty of Delicious Drinks and Desserts options! Definitely enjoy most of the Ches I've ordered. Bambu Special, Summer Delight, Bambu Combo, Bambu Favorite, Green Lantern Che, Raspberry Smoothie, Kiwi Yogurt, and Dragon Fruit Boba Tea, are some of my favorites items here at Bambu. I love the ingredients, very light, fresh, and the perfect sweetness! read more

Bambu is my go to place for Che if I am not in San Jose. I have been to other Bambu locations and they are similar to the other ones I have been to. The service here was friendly and the place was quiet when I came with my family on a Sunday afternoon after lunch. The interior is very nicely decorated with lots of available seating. The elevated area with the low table was a very nice touch and my kids really liked that area. A sign says customers are supposed to take off their shoes in that area which my kids did but I'm not sure other customers are doing the same based on how dirty my kids' socks were after they left the area. The drinks are very tasty as expected. My go to drink is the Bambu Favorite which is filling and refreshing. The pandan raffle was also yummy and chewy the way I like. I'll be back! read more

I ordered smashed avocado dessert lite sweet on a weeknight. There was only one chick working and she was kinda slow. Finally got my drink and it was overly sweet with barely any avocado. Not only that, the pieces of avocado in my cup was not good, some bruising, some fiber, and even pieces of the seed. SMH. If you're gonna charge 10 bucks for an avocado dessert, at least make sure you pick a good avocado. Parking is terrible since it's downtown Sunnyvale. I would go out of my way not to buy from here again. read more

Went in on Sunday at noon and placed an order for 8 drinks. Our order was ready about 15 minutes later. We brought them back and everyone enjoyed them. My Bambu special (0% sugar) was good.

Ps this location has fresh pennywort and can make a special order of avocado durian smoothies. read more

It felt kinda overwhelming walking in here - they have a loooooot on their menu, but the lady working there was so nice/friendly/helpful! She definitely made me feel welcomed and at ease. I went with the bambu special. It was refreshing, and since it had a lot of toppings, it filled me up slightly so I wasn't hungry for lunch until later in the afternoon. The lady helped made it less sweet too, because she saw that I was hesitant about the calories (this was an impromptu stop, lol). read more

Pretty disappointed with my visit. I was expecting like my past experience a few years back. To my surprise, they don't even have a trashcan for customers. Though you do get your moneys worth. Not bad drink. It is after all more of a dessert than a drink. I will continually take my business here because of the quality of options they offer for dessert drinks. But they really need to put trashcan around the area so people can throw away their food or containers when they're done. Quality: a + + Service: letter a Price: $ - $$ Note: get trash receptacles for customers read more

Have tried this place a couple of times. It has a nice interior for people who want social media pics. They also have a huge variety of beverages ranging from coffee to tea / milk tea and smoothies to some traditional Asian desserts and drinks. So everybody will have something they like.

My drinks were goopy and the toppings in the che were ROCK HARD. It was so bad! My mom was mixing her che and the consistency was like goo, with the colors giving off a swamp green vibe. She asked me if the drink was old, to which I told her: no? She did smell the drink a few times before taking a sip, and said the drink didn't taste bad, but it also did not taste good. She got the Bambu Favorite (#10). The red tapioca was hard as rocks, the grass jelly gave off a slime, the coconut milk felt gloppy??? (Lol, idk, it was a very strange mouth feel), and the pandan jelly was stale. Overall, a very disappointing experience. My mom and I got 4 drinks, and none of them tasted right. I ended up with the Coconut Combo (#11), but meant to get the Bambu Special (#1). I did not like the agar agar and the coconut juice just tasted bad. Like, it wasn't sweet and it had a strange aftertaste and mouthfeel. read more

With Vietnamese treats and icecream, cream and liquid sweets, Bambu takes the tea! I went with my standard boba, not brave enough to elect for the Vietnamese fruit filled drink, as some of my said experiments don't sit well with the ole taste buds. My tarot milk tea with boba was creamy sweetness with that punch of tarot that i appreciatebwith satisfying flavor. On offer is mochi icecream, but the menu is mostly tea and sweet drinks. Adjust the sweetness as you like. Next to Sunnyvale's Historic Murphy Street, when you take a stroll and enjoy the holiday string lights stop at this corner and grab a tea. read more

Bambu Desserts & Drinks - two cups of bubble tea on a counter - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Boba tastes below average, but not as bad though. It seems like that they put a lot too much syrup on it that I rarely tasted any milk. I like how it comes in different sizes because usually most boba places serve boba with tall cups. The place feels less lively and probably needs some reworks. It's like that they never replace bad and old material with better ones. Also the menu looks quite cartoony. Highly recommend this place to get renovated ASAP. There are better boba places around Downtown Sunnyvale you can look for. read more

I'm surprised at the wide assortment of desserts and sweets from here, from the Che, boba drinks, waffles, and so much more on the menu. I found the inside really cute and decorated nicely with the plants and florals. The back area with the floor seating and low tables were very pretty. We ordered a bunch of Che drinks, I got the #5 Smashed Avocado and my boyfriend got the #12 Taro Lover. Service was timely. The avocado flavor was great, but personally I enjoyed my boyfriend's Taro drink more than mine. For my personal preference, I wish that the #5 Smashed Avocado Che was milky and creamier. It pretty much just tasted like avocado chunks and ice, with only a bit of condensed milk. I understand traditionally that it uses condensed milk, but it would be nice if it also had evaporated milk or coconut milk in it. That's why I preferred the #12 Taro Lover. The actual Taro paste at the bottom of the drink paired so nicely with the coconut milk. When I come back in the future, I'd get any Che drink with taro and coconut milk because it was so lovely. read more

It was super refreshing and I'd definitely be back to try their other combinations. read more
