    Breaking Tea is a cozy boba shop located in DT Campbell close to Manresa Bakery, Aqui Restaurant, etc. I think it's mostly street parking around. The interior is simply decorated with long tables and chairs to sit at. They do have a long bench near the front door. Kiosk and/cashier to order from. One unisex restroom. They have house music playing. Additional tea and juice drinks are currently being added to the menu. Stay tuned. I went with the Classic Milk Tea (+$ boba). The tea was good and the boba was soft and chewy. Support your local business.

    A cute little spot in downtown Campbell off Campbell Avenue. A pretty good selection of milk and fresh teas to choose from. Self-serve on their kiosk, so no one greets you or asks if you need anything. And for a Saturday afternoon, they were already out of their Egg Waffles? Never heard of a place of running out of something that's pretty simple to make since you only need to make the batter. Popcorn chicken was good. The mild is already pretty spicy enough for me. And able to select to Almond milk in my hot Taro Latte with an extra cost - I think $0.75 more). But, a lively place with music playing.

    Service is friendly & prompt! There is a reason it's popular. Cool inside with a few tables & benches to sit. Make sure you sign up for rewards, our drink was free today! Awesome non dairy options & also small bites on the menu.

    Okinawa Milk Tea
    Misha M.

    I tried the Okinawa milk tea with bubbles. The tea was yummy, it had a rich, black tea flavor. The bubbles were fantastic soft yet chewy. I wished the amount of added bubbles was a bit more. I also ordered the spicy popcorn chicken, which was just as tasty. It came with a side of sweet chili sauce. I would like there to be slightly more chicken and less breading, but overall, it was a great. I ordered online and picked it up in-store, and the service was quite quick. They have tables and music playing inside, and they also had the same small sweet bites upfront.

    Mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken.

    Since my last review, I've tried a few different milk teas (lots of after school meetings require pick me up drinks) and have found one that is more to my speed. This particular time, I came with my bf on a weekend as we were looking for a late afternoon snack and decided milk tea sounded good. We were around the area for something else, so we came here. Ordering was easy at the kiosk - okinawa milk tea for me, some coffee drink for the bf and popcorn chicken and mozzarella sticks to share. The atmosphere was still the same - relaxed and calm. We sat in a corner and had good conversation about random topics. I liked my okinawa milk tea much more than the regular milk tea - it's similar to the brown sugar milk tea with a stronger flavor. My bf gulped down his drink, so I assume he liked his as well. The snacks were decent - I preferred the popcorn chicken over the mozzarella sticks. The chicken was nicely fried, but still tender. The sticks were a little too dry for me.

    While downtown at the Campbell farmers market I decided I wanted boba. First thing in noticed when walking in was the decor and the mood lighting. The space is relatively small with just a handful of tables but clean and inviting. I was greeted with a smile when I walked in, even with a couple in front of me. They have a relatively simple menu that was easy to read. I ordered a mango green milk tea with honey boba and mango stars, along with some sweet potato fries. The milk tea was great, with just the right amount of sweetness and I throughly enjoyed my toppings. The sweet potato fries, while hot, left something to be desired. They seemed almost not cooked enough and could use a bit of salt. Over all though, I enjoyed myself and wouldn't mind going back to try out some other teas. I need to add because I just noticed! I love the cup that I received my drink in. It looks reusable.

    Roasted Oolong Milk Tea & Passion Fruit Green Tea

    Visited at 9pm on a Saturday night and there were a few people hanging out here. I'm a frequent visitor of the SJ location, but this was my first time in the Campbell location. It was a lot cleaner and quieter than the SJ location and I liked the interior decor and Christmas decorations they put up as well. I ordered a passionfruit green tea (50% sweet) and the barista made it on the spot. Parking is difficult to find in downtown Campbell, but there is a free parking garage right behind this building. Definitely a cute place to check out if you're craving boba.

    Do you accept cash?

    Yes we do

    Hey, I asked this same question at another location of Breaktime Tea and wasn't sure if it varies from site to site, but do they accept cash as payment?

    Yes. Car is accepted. Thanks

    Do you guys still have rain drop cake on the menu anymore?

    Sorry we stopped making raindrop jelly cakes :(

    What do you guys use for sweetness in your drinks? I hope not bad stuff like high fructose corn syrup...

    Yup they use Fructose Corn Syrup for additional flavors. You be lucky if they use dollar store honey

    Is there non dairy milk?

    Yes. Most of our milk teas are non dairy by default. We also have soy milk and almond milk as other non dairy options.

    Do they serve food yet?

    Hot snacks are coming soon, but we’ll be adding delicious desserts as soon as this weekend and more to come.

A simple sandwich order at 9:20 is not ready until 9:45. Lesson learned, come at opening time and order all at once. Cortado & latte, 5/5. Hot, smooth, strong. Orchid acai bowl ($14, sub in mango for mulberry, add coconut dust): 5/5. so good. Palmetto superfoods is my go-to in the SJ area for acai bowls, this was better despite not as many topping options. Their bases are smoother and creamier, no ice crystals here. Also liked that the fruit was chopped smaller. BAE sandwich ($12): 4/5. good, but definitely not worth a 25 min wait. Textures, freshness were great, but it was missing salt/pepper & spices. The sauce helped, but still underwhelming given how good it looks. Recommend having salt & pepper packets & a bottle of hot sauce available to customers. Cinnamon roll ($5.75): as a cinnamon roll, 3/5. As a morning bun type thing, 4.5/5. This is a case of mistaken identity. It's got a slight crunch, light sweetness, fluffy (not dense). When I order a cinnamon roll, I'm more expecting decadent dessert-for-breakfast laden with sugar & butter, yknow? Loved their dining area, loved how beautifully presented all items were, loved how everything was served at optimal temperature (hot espresso, thoroughly warmed pastry, etc), loved the variety of menu items (I can get an acai bowl and bf can get a sandwich or pastry). Will definitely return at 9 am sharp on weekends, and not order anything after about 9:10!

    Found a new coffee spot near Campbell and had to give it a shot!…read more What immediately caught my attention was the variety of drinks they offer. We're talking ube coffee, avocado coffee, banana condensed milk coffee, plus a whole lineup of matcha drinks. Definitely more creative than your typical neighborhood coffee shop! I went with the ube coffee with almond milk. The ube base was a little too sweet for my taste, but once everything was mixed together, the overall sweetness actually balanced out pretty nicely. The espresso also packs a punch -- you get 2 shots with your coffee order, so no complaints there. ‍ The ambience is definitely a highlight. The space is super cute and spacious, and they even have this mini staircase seating area that would be perfect for hanging out with friends. It also has plenty of room for a work-from-café situation The only downside was the service, which felt a bit slow for my liking. That said, they did give customers a heads-up that half of their espresso machine was under maintenance, so I'll give them some grace on that one! Overall: 3.5/5 Giving them an extra +0.5 just for the ambience because the space is genuinely adorable. I'd definitely come back to try their pastries and açaí bowl next time!

Then as she was making the drink, she had mine sitting at the counter for a good few minutes without calling my name because she was busy chatting it up with a customer, handing him a note, talking about travel plans, etc. When I asked where my drink was and that I had been waiting for a while the other barista proceeded to say that they've just been busy. No, barista making my drink was just not serving each customer kindly and equally. I've come here for years and have had good experiences, but based on my last visit, I'd come back for the quality coffee but not with a high expectation for the service and if I had a lot of time between grabbing coffee and the next thing - I was here for over 20 mins before I got my drink

I understand market price at a seafood restaurant when you are ordering fresh fish, but for a single shot of espresso, that was a first for me. I ended up paying $5.50 for one single shot of espresso, and the latte was also $5.50. On top of that, I waited about 14 minutes for the espresso and latte. For two coffee drinks, that felt like a long wait. The croissants and some of the other pastries also did not look as fresh as I expected. The atmosphere is great, the presentation is impressive, and the concept is definitely cool. But when I pay $5.50 for a single espresso and have to wait 14 minutes, I expect the overall experience to match the price.

I will say that walking in the space is elegant is the word I would like to use but also inviting with the little extras that they do at the table with the fresh flowers the soft chairs the colorful decor that surrounds it. Also the two individuals behind the counter that were taking orders and packaging things were just a delight. Both of them greeted us with a smile and they asked us if it was our first time to the shop and we told them yes and so they walked us through some of the more popular items and how are things were broken down and that was very much appreciated cuz there are many many options in front of you in unless you know exactly what you want you can be looking at everything for a couple of minutes before you decide on even one thing. We ended up getting a regular latte and a rose latte for our drinks. And then as a little delicious taste of something we got the chocolate croissant and the almond croissant. I am going to comment on my rose latte first that thing was beautifully made because though it was sweet but in a way that wasn't overpowering because you could still taste a little bit of the caffeine the creaminess of the milk that was used and the espresso it was like a hint in the background so a little call out there if you're someone that really wants to taste their coffee this wasn't the jam for you and that's okay my husband got the regular latte with steamed milk and I tasted his and that was like coffee in your face so you can always go for a solid twist like that. And to clarify his latte was also very good because it just tasted so fresh and of high quality. Now for the pastries. They were stupendous because they had the right amount of flakiness but softness. They also were buttery but not overly so were like major hands feel greasy it was so savory both of them which is interesting because the fillings one was chocolate one was almond I would have thought that both of them would have had an overpowering sweetness to them. We will say that we both liked the almond croissant more not that the chocolate one wasn't just as good. The almond had a little bit of a 1up because I don't know how to explain it it's almost like it had a almond crumble at the top so you bit into the pastry which was fluffy but you had the crunch on the top then you had a little bit of the almond filling and then you had the butter and like the soft but almost chewiness of the inside of the layers just stupendous all of that together was great. If we end up ever being in that area again will definitely want to go back to try the rest of the stuff they had because I want to know how everything else takes especially those beautiful cakes that were just art themselves

I am genuinely disappointed by my coffee almost every time I visit. If it's really bad to the point that I can't drink it, I'll ask for a remake, but a lot of the time I don't have the extra time to wait for them to make another one. It's incredibly frustrating because I can go to the Los Gatos, Willow Glen, or Castro Valley locations and consistently get a great coffee. It doesn't seem to matter what I order or whether it's something from the regular menu or a seasonal drink, the quality at this location just isn't there. What makes it even more frustrating is that this is the Philz location closest to my house, so I genuinely want to be able to enjoy it. I don't know if it's an issue with training, consistency, or something else, but I really hope management looks into it because something clearly isn't working. I was actually talking to a friend who used to love Philz as much as I do, and she said she doesn't enjoy it anymore either. Then we realized that whenever she gets Philz in the East Bay, it's noticeably better. I really hope this location can get back to the quality Philz is known for because I would love nothing more than to be able to regularly get good coffee from the location right by my house. I'm honestly sorry to have to leave such a negative review because I really do love Philz, but at this point, someone needs to say something. Then today was really the final straw. The coffee was so bad that neither of us could drink it, so I called the store and asked for a refund. I had just spent $15 on two cups of coffee that we were ultimately going to throw away, so I didn't think it was unreasonable to ask for a refund. Instead, I was only refunded for one of the two coffees and when I called back nobody answered.

    Had a chance to try Manresa Bread and overall really enjoyed it. When we got here around 10 AM it…read morewas very crowded but the service was fast as the line moved quickly. The ambiance here was inviting and there are lots of tables and chairs where one can sit. Luckily we were able to snag a table. For food we got a latte which was very nice. We also got the ham and cheese croissant which was absolutely delicious and the guava cream cheese pastry. I got both warmed and loved it. We also got a honey butter cornbread thing with their homemade strawberry jam. This was a cool savory sweet option. Although I didn't love it, it was nice to try. Overall good experience and would go back to try other pastries!

    I've been here a few times, and I honestly don't know why I haven't reviewed this place yet…read more The moment you walk into Manresa Bread, you're greeted right away. The space has a modern yet warm feel with beautiful natural wood finishes, fresh loaves of sourdough lining the shelves, pastries displayed in the case, and a mix of large communal wood tables, regular seating, and high-top tables. It's the kind of café that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. The staff was friendly and helped us choose both a pastry and our toast. They were also happy to customize our order--we asked for the levain sourdough toast with butter instead of the usual olive oil. That toast was absolutely divine. The sourdough had the perfect balance: chewy without being too sour, with a crust that was crisp but not so hard that it fought back. Easily the best sourdough toast I've had in the Bay Area. If you come here, this is the one thing you have to order. The only disappointment was the butter. They serve French butter, but for an extra $2, the portion was tiny and honestly nothing special. I've had better butter from Whole Foods. It didn't take away from how incredible the bread was, but it wasn't worth the upcharge. Their Kouign-amann is also one of the best I've ever had. Instead of the typical flat, flaky style, theirs is taller with countless buttery layers that create an amazing texture. The cappuccino was another highlight. It had subtle notes of orange peel, whiskey, and cardamom, making it unique. The latte art was beautiful too. Overall, Manresa Bread is one of those cafés that makes you want to sit down with a laptop or a book and spend a few hours there. The only downside is there are no power outlets, so come with a full battery if you're planning to work. Must orders: Levain sourdough toast with butter and the Kouign-amann. Both are worth the trip.
