    I got Thai tea from an event. The tea is not strong, somewhat diluted. The boba is too soft and slightly overcooked...

    I've booked Bobateani at least twice now, and each time the guests say Patsy and her team are wonderful and the drinks are amazing! They come in, set-up, serve, and clean-up quick and efficiently! Clear communication at all times and you're definitely getting your money's worth! Don't hesitate to book them for your party, no matter how big or small.

    Bobateani came out and served the tastiest boba drinks to our party of 80 guests for 2 hours. And it was worth every penny. They were great to work with, their set up was amazing, the service was fantastic, the drinks were delicious and they had an incredible variety! Plus, it was the HIT OF THE PARTY! Every single guest loved it. And we are so happy we found this company. If you are looking for an authentic tea shop experience at your party, this is your vendor. We are grateful for all they did for us and could not recommend them more highly. Thank you team!

    Original milk tea- only 3/4 way full :"(

    Loved this pop up at my company today! They make their drinks quickly and I waited about 30 minutes in line for my milk tea. The only disappointment was that they had a lot of flavors, but ran out of the flavors quickly and when it got to my turn there was only regular milk tea left. They should really stock more and be more prepared since there was a little less than 45 minutes left of catering. Boba: - Honey boba pearls are good, fresh, and chewy - Original Milk Tea was GREAT, lots of flavor and I can taste the tea - They didn't fill all of the cups completely. My friend's and mine was 3/4 filled only--bummer. Again, preparation is key. Overall: good milk tea but needs work on prep and stocking.

    Best Boba catering service in town!! This is the first time we had a boba event for our members and it was awesome!! Thank you BOBATEANI for being so flexible and for promoting our event and our Sunday hours. You guys are the best!!

    We booked Bobateani for a corporate birthday party and it was the easiest booking and contracting process. Patsy and her family team set up an awesome Boba Bar with all of their drink options and were super enjoyable to have at our event. Our employees are huge boba fans and had nothing but great things to say--we can't wait to have Bobateani at another event!

    I can honestly say this is one of the best Bobas I've ever had ! The service was amazing and so helpful, and the tea and boba were so refreshing and delicious I will definitely be ordering from them again if I could rate 6/5 I would! Sarina was especially helpful and sweet I would order again just for her !!

    Jared and Erica took care of us right. Knocked out the whole line plus seconds efficiently. Presentation, customer service, and quality reflects the 5 star rating! Recommended for any type of parties from a boba addict myself.

    The best Molly Tea in the Bay Area. I know they are all Molly Tea, but having tried different…read morelocations, this one has consistently delivered perfect drinks each time. Of their drinks on the menu, white champaca, white champaca oolong, dancong, white champaca matcha are the top drinks I cycle through. Although they recommend 70%, I actually prefer 30% sweetness, less ice. Truly brings out the tea flavor. This location had a new drink Camellia during the LNY. However, I have not seen it on the menu since March. Hopefully they'll bring it back. They now have order online via their website (chowbus), and I recently learned that they have an app. This makes ordering drinks at this location easy since it is located in corner strip mall with minimal parking.

    I've tried Molly tea a few times now. I like their Champaca teas. Recently tried the grape series…read morethat they have going on as their seasonal menu drink. It tasted nice, but definitely had the artificial grape candy flavor, although mild. It is usually pretty packed and busy here and rare to find parking right in front of the store. They have nice ambience and good store, branding and merchandise. I think they could do a little better on their drinks though. It's definitely known more for and there's a hype around the merchandise, the drinks are good quality ingredients, but taste OK and a bit pricey as well.

    Really great tea/boba spot! Honestly I think it's underrated. I ordered a Matcha Einspanner at 50%…read moresweetness and it was perfect. Sweet enough to still taste like a little treat but the matcha flavor still came through, and it wasn't grainy at all. The whipped cream on top was delicious and lightly sweetened, which I loved. I ordered for pickup via DoorDash and my order was ready when I arrived. Very quick service and friendly barista. The interior is pretty casual with 4 small tables inside for seating. Very clean and modern. There's a bit of merch at the entrance of the store. The shop is also located conveniently next to an apartment complex. There's a parking garage available as well with ample parking. Can't wait to come back!

    Cutest cafe ever! It's a bit tucked away at the corner of an appt building and seating is limited,…read morebut it's a good place to study-quiet and chill. Also has cute capybara merchandise and plushies on display. We were in need of energy boost and stopped by for a drink and decided to order the lemon poppyseed muffin. Wow, that muffin! Soft and moist, and freshly baked with the best burst of lemon-sooo good! I would probably come back just for that muffin! For drinks, I ordered a hot Hojicha Latte and the next time I was there, I ordered an iced Strawberry Hojicha Latte, and both were good. I also tried a Calamansi Green Jasmine Tea and it was a bit sour. After adjusting sugar and ice levels, and watering it down, I still didn't like it. The barista offered to make me a new drink and I loved what I replaced it with. Really appreciated the effort and kindness. Love this cafe and hope to be back soon for more muffins, more tea, and more capybara cuteness!

    RANG Final…read moreThoughts: 4.50/5 Review for Rang. They have weekly matcha pop ups at Rose Tea Lounge. Original location is in Elk Grove, but they are here in San Jose area. Kind of hard to see and find them? given that there aren't really any signs posted outside. I perhaps wouldn't have known about it if my friend didn't tell me about it. Drink: Guava Matcha Einspanner: 4.5/5 This is their matcha with house-made guava puree at the bottom and topped with silky guava foam. Their foam is so nice and creamy. Felt very light and just thick enough. Silky consistency that mixed well with the drink. My friend noted that they make it fairly sweet, so I opted for the 25%. This was still quite sweet for me. Each component is sweet itself, so when you combine it, its mostly just sweet. No tartness to cut any of it. Perhaps the guava has something to do with that. Guava is a sweet fruit in general, so I seemed to expect as much. The matcha itself had a nice color to it. Very vibrant. Light bitterness. Lovely consistency overall. I like each component separately and I like them together when it's fully combined. Strawberry Matcha Einspanner: 4.5/5 This was my friends drink and I also really liked it. Had to try it for my review purposes. Per their Door Dash description, this is their matcha latte with their home-made strawberry puree and topped with velvety strawberry foam. There really wasn't much of a difference with this one and mine besides the fruit. His was slightly more tart than mine, which is something I like. Again, the drink itself leans more on the sweet side, so any sort of tartness would be nice to cut some of that. Matcha color is amazing. Nice and vibrant. Lovely silky consistency. I like the ratio of fruit flavor and matcha. Some places will make it just taste like milk, others have an imbalance of flavors. This one was just right for me. --------- Quality: Ceremonial Matcha and whisked to order We saw them whisk the matcha to order. Not really a display cooking kind of counter, but they do do all of that in the front where the cashiers are. You are able to watch if you so choose. I do like the matcha that they use, so it seems like a high quality one. That or it's because they aren't batching their matcha like other places. I understand that batching doesn't make it lower quality, but something about whisking it fresh is always better. Price: Average Will depend on the drink, but the prices are around $7 to $9. For our drinks, average around $8.25 per drink. Quite a common price range for a cup of matcha. This one was made well, so no complaints here. There was no upcharge for the oatmilk, which is always a plus for us. Service: Whisked matcha fresh No interactions today. We ordered directly on the kiosk and then just waited for our drinks to come out. Something that I like is that they whisk and make the matcha in front of us. Kind of hard to see, given my height and spot that we were standing, but they do whisk it in the front for us. Of note, they use this hand towel or cloth to wipe the bowls. Not sure how sanitation does with that, but I digress. Just an observation for today. Ambiance: Quaint Flower Café Vibes This place is giving very quaint flower café vibes. I would totally work here if I could work from home or if I needed to study. Space is incredibly spacious on the inside contrary to how the outside and plaza area is looking. Little dim lit inside, but that might be from the little lighting that's hitting through the windows given the angle and evening sun. Location/Parking: Small Plaza This place is like a pop-up/collaboration with Rose Tea Lounge. There's really no label for it outside of the storefront, but when you go into the café and on the kiosk, you can directly order from them. Kind of interesting how it works and I probably would have never seen it if my friend didn't bring me here. Location is not the best as it is right in a smaller plaza on the side of Story Road near the 101 freeway. At least they chose an area that is slightly less saturated. Vietnam Town is really close by and they really do have too much going on over there sometimes. Parking lot is also small, but it seems to work well with the smaller plaza size.
