Tried cere tea for the first time and it was pretty good! The raspberry was delicious and I didn't think it was too sweet for 100%. The matcha tastes high quality and wasn't bitter. The only thing I didn't like was all the raspberry seeds. It's a seasonal drink so if you're thinking of trying it, get it now! I'll definitely be back. read more

Matcha and drink shop on the first floor offering creamy rich drinks! They have einspanners!! Lines move pretty fast TL;DR - Einspanners are rich and sweet. The foam is tasty and has a nice vanilla flavor to it. Definitely good consistency and creaminess. They have a good formula / ratio of cream to matcha it water - I ordered it 0% sweet and it was actually not too watery or bitter at all!! The oat milk sub I got + manner cream overshadowed the matcha a taddd bit but I was impressed that the drink was still good when stripped of its sweetener read more

The drinks are super aesthetic! I ordered the sunny side up matcha latte and it's a nice sweet treat. The drinks are on the sweeter side, so I wish I ordered 30%, which is one level lower than what I usually get at boba stores. If you are a matcha purist, you might not love this drink because the mango flavor overpowers matcha. The matcha is not very strong therefore it's more of a sweet treat. read more

This is my first time trying this location and was so excited that they had a mango matcha latte! My cousin did a mobile order and we came to the store thinking it was ready but still had a wait time even though there was 3 staff working and no line. They make you wait until the pick up time that was set ordering online. The drinks were all so yummy! I only wish that you can adjust the sweetness better because all the barista make it different for less sweet so hard to find a good adjustment. read more

This is a small little shop in the ulferts plaza . It's to go only but there are some tables outside . I placed an order for the raspberry matcha which is a seasonal drink . There was a small line but the line moved quickly . They called my number in 10 min , the raspberry drink is made with fresh raspberry jam and matcha on top . Next time I will order double matcha if they have the option , the drink was tasty but personally not enough matcha for me . I like my drinks to have a super strong matcha flavor . I will definitely be back to try all of there other flavors !! read more

Got the strawberry matcha einspanner! Would prefer the matcha to be a bit more intense and bitter (to have more contrast when combined with the strawberry syrup), and maybe for the texture to be creamier? But overall it tastes good and would definitely come back to try other drinks. Service is friendly! Store doesn't have seating inside but plenty of benches on the outside. read more

Met up with friends to grab a bite, but first, matcha tea please Funny how everyone's into matcha now when I've been on it way before it started trending. I switched it up and tried a hojicha latte, while the others stuck with matcha and another hojicha with egg foam. Verdict: yummm. Slightly less caffeine, but honestly perfect to start the day. This little hole-in-the-wall spot in Milpitas is such a hidden gem if you're ever in the area, definitely check it out. read more

If you're looking for a matcha einspänner, Ceré Tea is definitely worth a visit. They use ceremonial-grade matcha that isn't overpowered by the milk, creating a smooth, well-balanced drink--especially with their fruit flavor pairings. I ordered the Sunny Side Up matcha einspänner with 25% sweetness, and it was the perfect level of sweetness for me. They also offer seasonal flavors, which is a great option if you like trying something new. Tip: Order online --the shop can get pretty busy! read more

Service is fast Ambiance is lacking but doesn't matter since you'll be in and out in no time. Minimal pictures on the walls and no seats inside. The match drinks were good. read more

A nice aesthetic shop for matchas and drinks. I got a couple of the einspanners - banana pudding and strawberry. The banana pudding had actual pieces of banana bread/muffin in it and the strawberry used some freeze dried strawberries and syrup. They both were essentially milkshakes to me when mixed up so if you're looking for something heartier this would be it. It's not my preference since I like more subtle, balanced flavoring but overall my experience with online ordering and service was great. I'd try their tea matchas or regular next time! There are outdoor tables for the plaza that this is in. The parking lot can be pretty busy. read more

Ceré Tea - Strawberry Einspanner, Banana Pudding Einspanner - pretty much milkshakes! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

I came here specifically to try their Banana Pudding Matcha Einspänner, and I was not disappointed! $8.50 is a bit steep (and it will cost you $0.85 extra for alternative milks to whole milk), but as someone who loves Banana Pudding, I enjoyed it. A solid 4.5/5 stars. The matcha flavor was strong and at 75% sweet, it was not too sweet. The banana pudding on top was DELICIOUS. They give you a generous heap. I literally just ate it as a dessert on top. I wouldn't mix it together, since you'd get hella chunks of actual bread and Nila wafer in your matcha. It's not a seamless recipe because it's more of a Banana Pudding + Matcha Latte imo rather than a well-integrated beverage, but even after you eat the pudding, it leaves a nice banana flavor in your matcha. read more

Ceré Tea - Banana Pudding Matcha Einspänner - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

I think it's innovative that they operate with just two workers and a self-serve kiosk. However, the line gets long because customers--myself included--don't always know what to order right away. It took me a while to go through the entire menu and figure out what they offered. I'd suggest putting a menu on the wall so people waiting in line can decide ahead of time. That way, when they reach the kiosk, the line moves faster. It's also a very small space, and it's a bit frustrating that they don't call out names when drinks are ready. Yes, you get a text, but in my case, I actually picked up my drink after noticing it sitting on the counter--then received the text more than five minutes later. So the notification system was definitely delayed. As for the drinks, I ordered the Banana Pudding Matcha Einspänner, and my husband got the raspberry matcha. I didn't taste much banana and felt like I was mostly drinking straight matcha, although my husband said he noticed a slight hint of it. That said, I was impressed with the quality--the matcha was very smooth. read more

3.5 stars I've tried a lot of matcha spots in the Bay Area & this is definitely one of the better spots -- a lot of places i've tried have grainy matcha but I didn't experience that here I ordered the earl grey matcha with 50% sweetness -- I think next time, I might try their strawberry matcha because the earl grey and matcha flavors didn't feel super cohesive to me (I think this has to do more with their natural flavor profiles and is not the fault of Cere). I've come to realize earl grey has its own tea flavor, and it tends to compete with the matcha tea flavor which is why they don't feel as complementary to each other -- but I also recognize this is personal preference The inside is a little small (there's no place to sit) but the workers here are very efficient and the line moved very quickly -- looking forward to trying the strawberry matcha next time read more

I love cere tea in Saratoga but never tried the location in Milpitas until Sunday. I got my go-to banana pudding matcha einspanner with 50% sweetness. The drink was $8.50 + tip... came out to be around $9.50. It is a bit pricier than other matcha locations. Anyways, the drink... I was highly disappointed. The drink tasted very milky. Couldnt really taste the matcha. And the banana pudding? Barely could taste it either. Even my friend agreed. The drink was extremely mid. Pretty disappointed. Just tasted like straight milk with a very tiny hint of banana. read more

I usually get disappointed by most places that serves matcha because it's not strong enough or the flavors don't blend well, but this is a really solid place for both matcha & hojicha lattes. The service is quite fast even when it's busy, pro tip- order ahead on your phone. It looks nice inside the shop but there's no seating area inside so if you wanted to stick around and hang out, there's plenty of seating outside. As for parking, it's a bit of a hassle because it's in a busy plaza so keep that in a mind. Today we got the sunny side up matcha (+1 extra shot of matcha), kokuto hojicha and also tried their new raspberry matcha which all are really good. The real chunks of raspberry blend super well together in the drink. I've also had their osmanthus matcha, hojicha einspänner, banana pudding matcha, earl grey matcha, matcha einspänner, strawberry matcha & all of them are extremely delicious and the right amount of sweetness at the standard level (if you don't like sweet you can adjust the percentage). Honestly haven't tried anything that i didn't like here. My top two are the banana & sunny side up! I like my matcha lattes to be strong so I opt for paying the additional $1 to make it earthier. Will keep coming here to get my caffeine fix!! read more

My sister and I felt like having matcha today so we decided to go back and give Cere Tea another try and I'm so glad we did! We got a Strawberry Matcha and Strawberry Matcha Einspanner and both were honestly delectable. I hope they keep up the same quality they had today. I have been told this location is pretty inconsistent and that is why I am giving them 4 stars and not 5 but today's drink was definitely 5 stars! read more

First time at this location. I've been to the saratoga location before to get the matcha einspanner and it was quite good. This location is more of a grab and go spot. There wasn't anyone in the store so it was fast ordering on the kiosk and the drink comes out in 5 minutes. First time trying the double matcha here and I really liked it! Creamy and not too sweet. Would come back again to try the other flavors :) read more

This is a really solid spot for when I'm craving a sweet matcha drink, I go for the banana cream matcha and 75% sweet is the perfect sweetness in my opinion. I also really like their earl grey matcha, it's really light and refreshing!

When I find a banana matcha, I HAVE to go. It's a problem. There was no line, we ordered on the iPad, and they started working on it. Workers were friendly and took pride in assembling the matcha. We ordered the banana pudding and strawberry matchas. Both were sooooo delicious. The banana pudding einspanner tasted just like just that. It paired so nice with the earthy matcha. I feel like I could go to 50% sweetness when I want a treat. Strawberry was also delicious, nuff said. No artificial tastes here. Matcha is pretty good for being pre-mixed. Love the cute little posters inside. Parking lot is very busy! read more

First time coming here to compare what we have in Sacramento. Although I ordered all my drinks half sweet, they were all still too sweet for me. I thought I would like the osmanthus matcha the most, but to my surprise, I prefer the Hojicha here more. The Earl grey Hojicha was the Best out of the three. If I were to come back, I would try the einspaners. read more

cute matcha spot in milpitas!! it's a small little store that has potential for more decoration, and i came around 6pm on a wednesday so the drinks came out quick. the staff were sweet. banana pudding matcha einspanner: 3.5/5 -- they give you a little spoon to eat the banana cream with. i liked the little bits on top of the cream! the banana itself doesn't really taste fresh the way that other banana matchas taste, but it was decent. a lot of banana matchas taste straight up like banana, but you could taste some matcha in this one. i got the 75% sweetness and i first took a sip of the drink itself without mixing the top, and it was pretty bitter for me but it was good after i mixed it some cream so id recommend that or getting it sweeter. i started hitting the banana cream bite + immediate matcha sip combo and i really enjoyed it that way. their matcha is decent but not mindblowing. i'm happy to go bc it's nearby! i'd want to come give the other drinks a try :) read more

I'll start by saying I'm used to always asking for extra matcha at other shops and never feeling like it's enough. You will NOT get that experience here! I got an additional matcha shot in my matcha latte and it was like WOAH hello! So definitely try the regular matcha drink before you go right into the extra shot. That said, I love how much matcha flavor you get and the matcha is very smooth and mellow with minor if any grassy notes. It's pricey, but it's matcha so it's definitely worth the price. Ambiance and service-wise, don't expect much. I walked into a small shop with the counters full of bags of ingredients. The employees didn't even bother raising their heads or saying hi and you just go right up to the ordering kiosk like you don't exist. They will make your order immediately and it comes out fast, but I think that's the only time they even saw me. Overall, come for the excellent matcha, but don't expect any social interaction. read more

I've had this place bookmarked and had the chance to try when I was in the area. I ordered the osmanthus matcha latte since I love floral flavors and I loved it! Matcha was flavorful and not too creamy. The floral flavor was strong and easily identifiable (sometimes I can barely taste the syrup in other matcha drinks). The only thing was that I ordered 50% sugar, and it was still a little too sweet for me. I see myself coming back and ordering the same drink but at 25% instead. Parking was easy. Drink came out quickly despite the line of customers. There are a few tables and benches outside where you can sit and enjoy your drink. Overall, I enjoyed my visit. I hope to be back! read more

I was excited to find this place on Yelp after searching for matcha spots near the restaurant my boyfriend and I had lunch. This place is located in a plaza with several other businesses so parking was easy. We went there on a Saturday at around 2pm and there was no line. I ordered via iPad and my drink was ready in less than 5 minutes. No seating inside as it's an order, grab, & go situation. Tip: There's outdoor seating in the plaza for anyone to sit at! (this is where we sat) I ordered the Matcha Einspanner (50% sweetness = default sweetness). Definitely not the best Matcha Einspanner I had but it's up there on my list. The matcha is bitter with a hint of grassiness. I'd come back and order the banana matcha! For any matcha lovers, I'd recommend you trying this place for yourself! read more

Cere tea is definitely one of my favorite matcha spots in SJ. Not too milky and not too watery! My go to drinks are definitely the strawberry matcha and the mango matcha. Both perfectly balance out the matcha without being overpowering. The raspberry matcha completely took me by surprise, it was so delicious but definitely more of a dessert matcha. Also seasonal I believe so definitely try it out before its gone. Store is quite small but plenty of parking. So excited to come back soon read more

Small, clean, and well maintained cafe. There is a kiosk to order from and then you wait for your oder. Very streamlined and no interaction with the barista is required. Matcha latte itself is pretty good. I usually add in an extra matcha shot in order to get a stronger matcha flavor in my drinks. My family loved the banana pudding. Solid choice for matcha in the East Bay. It's about $8 for one drink. read more

Ceré Tea - Matcha einspanner and matcha banana pudding - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

I love matcha, but for those not familiar with it, it can be grassy and bitter. My favorite drink is the banana pudding matcha latte with lactose free milk. I would recommend ordering as is the 1st time and adjusting from there on. Their matcha is a bit bitter compared to the sweet banana pudding. If you dont want to scoop and sip, you can just mix it all together and sip so that your drink is sweeter. It's likely banana pudding mix, but that tastes so much better than just banana alone. It also has chunks of real banana which is nice. I've been to other places where they use banana chips, so different places have their own style. Another perk--This is the ONLY boba place that offers lactose free milk which I appreciate so muchhhh. Being lactose intolerant is the bane of my existence . You order at a tablet and drinks were made quickly. This location is pretty small, so if there is a line, you might be outside. read more

I think Cere is solid but doesnt blow me away like other matcha spots in the area. I liked their banana pudding matcha ($8.50) and the Osmanthus Hojicha. The sunny-side up matcha which was a mango einspanner was cute but I don't think the mango and matcha went well together. I would be curious to try their seasonal drinks like raspberry matcha. There's no big menu inside but you see the menu on the iPad when you order. The inside is small and there's no seating but there's some tables outside. Service was quick. Lots of parking around the plaza. read more

Tried Ceré Tea after hearing a lot of hype about their matcha, so I got an iced matcha latte. It came out hella fast, which I thought was great... until I realized why. The matcha wasn't made to order - they just poured it straight from a premixed batch. Not sure how I feel about that. The drink itself was not bad, but I was expecting something freshly whisked, especially for a place known for matcha. Might give it another shot, but I'm kinda on the fence. read more

Came here on a Friday for matcha with the girlies. There isn't a whole lot of seating inside, and we waited 15 minutes for a table. Once seated we took some cute pictures with the green garland. I got the matcha einspanner, and my friends got the strawberry matcha einspanner and hojicha latte. I usually never drink coffee and I was up until 3am. However, it did help me go to the bathroom which I hadn't in two days so...worth it. read more

Pretty good matcha for a decent price! Their matcha drinks lean towards the sweeter side, but they do let you customize the sweetness which is nice, so I always go for the Less Sweet option. My favorite matcha from Ceré is their Earl Grey Matcha latte. It's honestly very good, but I will say that the matcha powder they use tastes a bit bitter, so the Earl Grey syrup helps cut into that bitterness a bit. The line here is always out the door, but I always just order online for pickup and it's made within 5-7 minutes so I've never had to wait that long! read more

Tasty option for matcha! Cere Tea is located along Barber Lane, in the same plaza as Koi Palace. The shop itself is on the first floor, and there's plenty of parking in the plaza itself. The cafe itself has a modern, clean, simple interior with no seating inside, and there are some picnic tables outside to sit at. There wasn't much of a wait on a Wednesday afternoon. I ordered through a self-service tablet/kiosk, but otherwise service was friendly. I got the earl grey matcha latte, which came out rather quickly, within 5-ish minutes. I quite liked my drink - the matcha flavor was prominent and the earl grey flavor was a nice complement, though the drink was on the watery side. I did like that my drink wasn't too sweet! Definitely will be coming back to try their other flavors! read more

I am a huge fan of their earl grey matcha - I don't know how they make their syrup but it has a lot of earl grey flavor that I haven't been able to recreate myself/find elsewhere. Their Osmanthus matcha is good too, with all of their drinks having a good amount of matcha/matcha flavor. FYI, if you tend to lessen the sugar of your drinks, for drinks that have syrup like earl grey and Osmanthus it will also lessen the syrup and the flavor since that's where the sweetness comes from. The store is small, tucked away underneath Koi Palace on the first floor. No seating in the store, and only one order kiosk but you can also order ahead online. There is outdoor seating with these round mesh-like tables and umbrellas that is shared with all the stores in the plaza, so you can usually grab a spot if you don't go during busy times. Otherwise I recommend it more as a grab-n-go type of place. read more

Unfortunately this location is not as good as the original one in Saratoga. I got my usual matcha einspanner and felt it was lacking in matcha or a bit too milky for my liking (i know i ordered something pretty creamy, but it definitely did not hit the same) Though it's still good, I would rather go out of my way to Saratoga, which is a shame because this is a prime location! Hope the quality can one day match the original's. read more

I really loved the matcha drinks here! It's probably in my top 5 matcha spots. The shop itself is small and there's only one tablet to order, so the line can get long, but the drinks are definitely solid. I do prefer the Saratoga location a bit more since it's bigger, the menu is displayed more clearly, and there's a small seating area (only two tables, but still something). The matcha here is super creamy with a rich, bold flavor. read more

Today was my first visit to Ceré Tea after hearing so much about it, and it definitely did not disappoint. It's easily a top three matcha spot in the Bay for me. This location doesn't have indoor seating since it's more of a grab-and-go spot, but there are benches outside if you want to sit and enjoy your drink. The interior is super nice and aesthetic, and they were blasting music inside, amazing playlist btw. Ordering was easy through their self-service kiosk. We got the Earl Grey Matcha and the Strawberry Matcha, and both were sooo good. Earl Grey Matcha 5/5: It was my first time trying an Earl Grey Matcha, and the flavors complemented each other really well. The Earl Grey syrup was slightly strong but not overpowering, and the matcha itself was smooth and rich. Strawberry Matcha 4.5/5 : it was also delicious and super creamy. It was heavy and leans more towards a dessert rather than a drink. But good for what it is. Will def be back read more
