There's plenty of parking all over the plaza. The workers were friendly and the service was good. There's not much seating inside and the place is small. This place can definitely get busy. They have a large variety of drinks here. I got the grapefruit orange green tea here which tasted refreshing and not artificial tasting. It was probably one of the best fruit teas I have tried even with low sweetness. The milk teas and boba were enjoyable as well. Definitely will come back again to try out their other drinks. read more

Formosa Aroma - IG @boba._.addict - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

This location of Formosa Aroma is located in West Valley Shopping Center. This is a busy area, especially on weeknights and weekends, so parking may be hit or miss. Very poor service - almost nonexistent besides them taking your order, but they do not seem happy doing so. I ordered their Formosan Teaspresso Milk Tea - Jasmine Green Tea with boba and Sakura Snow Whip Matcha Typhoon. Their milk tea tasted bland and watery - it was more tea with a lack of creaminess. The snow whip was good, but they do not allow adding boba to it, which is a bit strange and a bummer. This drink was blended in a way where it was refreshing. For 2 drinks, it took almost 35 - 45 minutes. The employees seem to not be properly trained, as some of them look like they do not know what they are doing. They took a very long time just working on 1 drink even though it was not busy. read more

Taste of tea was good, but it was masked but the over sweetness. Cashier told us it was sweet so we got 30% sweetness. We couldn't imagine what 100% sweetness would be. The menu had a lot going on, wish there were more photos. We got the mango passion fruit green tea, would have hit the mark if sweetness was less. We had to dilute it with water when we came home. 2nd drink coconut latte with red bean and purple rice, again overly sweet and too much going on I barely had any drink. I tend to like red bean and purple rice but it was just too much. I have mine being watered down, maybe I'll mix it with milk to help. read more

My drink was delicious, I love the caffeine free options. I tried the milk tea with the genmai buckwheat tea and non dairy creamer. It was my first time trying a buckwheat tea and it had an excellent flavor! Would definitely recommend. They have a lot of other delicious looking drinks that I'm excited to try. Boba was a good texture as well. There's not a lot of space inside, but they have a couple tables and seats. The service was average. read more

Drinks were super good! Yuzu Jasmine with Aiyu Jelly. Very flavorful and had yuzu puree. The grapefruit was definitely the winner! So delicious I wish I had gotten 2 grapefruits! The only downside was definitely the pricey. The drinks here range from $7.50-$10 so not an average place for tea. read more

It's next to Five Guys in the plaza! My Apple Maps brought me to the Bevmo side, so it got me confused. The passion fruit jasmine tea and golden phoenix oolong milk tea were good. You can really taste the tea - good quality. Boba had a good chew. You have different options for the milk. There were passionfruit bits in the drink. I got 50% sweet, a good mix of sweet and tart. Came a little after 2:30pm on a Saturday. There was only one party in front of me then the line got pretty long after. Drinks came out pretty quick. It was a full house in the seating area. Clean and chill (AC'd) spot! I'd definitely want to come back to try more drinks. read more

My friend and I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was slightly busy but still had some seating available. When first opening the door, you get hit with the smell of tea so we were already very excited to order. We ordered a Genmai Buckwheat Milk Tea and an Assam Milk Tea to share. I personally liked the buckwheat milk tea more because you get that roasted grain and earthy flavor. The Assam was still good with its more caramel flavor. The drinks themselves were very tea forward with the milk giving it more body. We got half sweet and half ice. We couldn't see how much ice there was due to the paper cup but when we mixed it, it felt like the ice went pretty far down the cup. Overall, they were really good drinks in a very cute shop. I also really appreciated the tea flavor profiles that they posted around the shop. I am very excited to come back to try more drinks. read more

Formosa Aroma - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Formosa Aroma finally made it to the Bay Area. I've been excited for its arrival due to the extensive menu. Parking isn't crowded since it shares the lot with multiple other restaurants, a bank, and supermarkets. There's not too much seating so expect no seating when its busy. Staff was knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. There's even San Jose exclusives! There was a short wait due to the influx of people from dinner. It was difficult to take photos of the menu and drinks due to the lighting glare from the ceiling lights. Sweetness and ice levels can be adjusted to preference. The strawberry yogurt sago smoothie had plenty of sago in it. The strawberries weren't exactly sweet and overall the drink was pretty plain. I prefer more tartiness for yogurt drinks, but it felt lacking for this one. I've ordered this before in SoCal, but it doesn't taste the same. Could be that it isn't strawberry season right now? Matcha Uji Latte was alright, but not a standout. Nitro Jasmine Cold Brew was also alright. All the nitro drinks come from tap, which is pretty cool. In comparison to other places, it isn't as strongly floral. I'll have to come and try more drinks since some are not available in SoCal. There's a lot of milk tea shops competing for business and I want to see Formosa succeed here in the bay! read more

**4.5 STARS If you're looking for a boba spot that takes tea seriously, this new San Jose gem is it. Their menu is huge--ranging from classic milk teas and refreshing fruit teas to nitro cold brew and unique specialty drinks--so there's something for everyone. What sets them apart is that their tea leaves are sourced directly from Taiwan for authentic flavor. Plus, they use a teaspresso machine for their milk teas, which extracts a much bolder, richer tea profile than your average brew. It's the perfect spot to find your new favorite drink! ORDER: |-|Assam Black Milk Tea with Boba |-| Nitro Jinxuan Cold Brew |-| Golden Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with Sea Salt Cheese Foam read more

Quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. The store isn't super huge so it got pretty crowded inside with people waiting in line to order and people waiting for their drinks. We waited 15-20 minutes to place our orders at the cashier. The menu is pretty extensive and also a bit confusing. There is a main menu you pass while waiting in line, and additional menus at the cashier with visuals of 10 specific drinks, visuals of the signature foams, topping options, and a build your own menu. I feel like the additional menus at the cashier would be helpful to show earlier for the people waiting in line. For my drink, I got the creme brulee milk tea. A picture of it was framed on the wall but I didn't see it on the menu. The receipt listed that the tea used was the golden phoenix oolong, and I wish I knew beforehand if I could change the tea and didn't know it'd default to the golden phoenix oolong. The drink was pretty good though! The creme brulee foam was rich, creamy, and sweet with a crunchy torched sugar top. The tea tasted authentic and fragrant. Everyone else liked their drinks too. Unfortunately their boba wasn't ready at the time we placed our orders (20 minute wait) so I'll have to come back and try the boba next time. read more

But it is totally worth it . The tea is freshly brew with rich aroma . We order the mango sago smoothie and I got the Golden phoenix oolong HOT tea with milk . They both taste excellent. The presentation and the flavor are very good. 5/5 experiences . read more

Finally got to try this place with my partner on a Saturday afternoon around 3:30 pm! It was packed! It's a small boba shop that has been around for a month, and they'll have a lot to improve on. A Hazard: - I didn't see a maximum occupancy sign so the space is packed during peak hours. The doorway is constantly blocked with people in line. They don't have self-service kiosks, so you'll have to order with a live person. It was hectic with peak hours; the register took orders but also called for drinks. If the drink isn't picked up immediately, they have a PA system if you're waiting outside. It took about 10-15 minutes for our drinks to be ready. They have minimal indoor seating around 2 tables but there is outdoor seating outside a few steps from the store. I got the white peach ice tea with lychee jelly 50% ice and sugar. I was surprised by the amount of toppings as it took up 1/3 of my drink. The drink had an odd aftertaste but did taste like peach and was refreshing. My partner got the nitro assam cold brew with 70% sweet and yuzu jelly added. Was a standard sweetened black tea with no other notes on top, tea quality was smooth. Yuzu jelly was a nice topping to pair with the assam, comparable to a standard lemon black tea but subtle citrus notes. It's drinkable. I would wait until the hype dies down so you don't have to wait long for a drink. read more

First time trying Formosa Aroma after they opened up a location in the South Bay. They have a vast tea selection and include detailed description of flavors and notes in each brew, as well as the unique toppings on their menu such as chestnut boba, barley boba, purple rice, etc on top of all the usual toppings offered at other boba shops. Note that they offer non-dairy milk options as well. It looks like they have most teas on tap so prep time for milk teas tend to be relatively quick (under ~10 minutes), especially because the line was only about 5 people at the time. I ended up going with the Iron Buddha Oolong Milk Tea with barley boba which had a deep, smoky flavor and was on the stronger side which I prefer. We also wanted to try another drink with chestnut boba, but they had run out at the time we went on a Saturday afternoon. The drink was great overall, though there was more ice than expected. I would come again to try more of their teas. read more

While picking up some soup at Boudin SF, I stumbled upon the newest Taiwanese boba spot to the South Bay called Formosa Aroma. It opened on Feb 16th, 2026. The interior was small and only a couple of elevated tables and chairs. The staff was very friendly and helpful. She recommended a few of their drinks. Iron Buddha Oolong Milk Tea with Hojicha pudding. Expect long wait times for this new and popular boba place! Support your local business. read more

One of my favorite milk tea spots from the SGV is here in the Bay Area! I was so excited, I had to visit as soon I saw the news. This was my perfect order! + Golden Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea + 50% Ice, 50% Sweet, Non-Dairy Creamer The quality is top tier and exactly how I remembered it from the Alhambra location. Not too milky and the tea was fragrant. The shop was out of boba when I was here, but I would love to come back and try it with this drink. I also tried their Sugarcane Mountain Tea, which was refreshing and floral! I really loved this. If you're into a classic nuoc mia taste with a earthy floral tea, this will be the drink for you! FYI - very minimal seating and no restroom. Plenty of parking and free wi-fi though. read more

Hooray! One of my favorite tea spots from SoCal is finally here! I stopped by on a saturday around 2PM. Drinks: If you are looking for a spot that is tea focused/slaps you in the face with tea flavor, this is the spot for you. The tea flavor is probably the strongest out of all boba spots in the area. I would say the strength is comparable to Molly tea but even more so. The tea is incredibly fragrant and you can tell that it is high quality. I got my go to, which is the Jasmine green milk tea and it was as good as I remember. I also tried the iron Buddha milk tea with boba and it was like drinking the most deeply roasted hojicha ever. I actually said "o WOW" out loud after I tried it because it was so much stronger than I expected. The boba flavor was pretty good but it was a little bit firmer than i prefer. I also tried the grapefruit orange green tea. It honestly didn't taste much like grapefruit to me at all so I would skip this next time. Wait/Service: given that this spot is brand new, I of course knew that the wait was going to be long. From the door, I waited about 25 minutes to order. I could see that this was mostly because everyone asked for recommendations and tea explanations from the cashier, so that took a long time. The good news is that the wall has all of the teas with descriptions so you can decide in advance that way. The cashier also was in charge of calling out orders and packing them up so this also played into how long it took to order. After ordering, I was told the wait would be 30-40 minutes which I was okay with given the circumstances. The cashier was sweet though and even though it looked really stressful, she seemed very knowledgeable and kept her cool. read more

With an ambitious name like this, I expected great, traditional Taiwanese tea. At first, I was very overwhelmed by their long menu. And then if you go up to the counter, there is a pretty picture of ~8 specialty drinks they recommend. But when I started to order, the cashier immediately took me on a "build your own" system. So I got the oriental beauty oolong with almond milk and boba, 30% sugar, and no ice. It came out to $8.64 total for a pretty tall cup (the long boba straw was barely peeking out. Large amount of boba, nicely flavored tea. Not too unreasonable for the price, and it's in a plaza with reasonable parking. Next time I'll try one of the pretty drinks off the menu. read more

3.5 STARS Who has order anxiety or menu paralysis? *Raises hand* Order anxiety and menu paralysis ARE real at Formosa Aroma! There's three menus and the main one is only viewable when you're at the register. Soft opening 2/12/26, Formosa Aroma (Taiwanese tea shop) originated in SoCal and this is their first NorCal location. Mainly a takeout spot as there's only three high-tops. No restroom. Currently, in-person order only with one cashier. No text notification so you have to wait inside for your number to be called. There's a million boba shops in Silicon Valley, many are top-tier so what makes Formosa Aroma stand out? - Each cup is brewed to order using a Teapresso machine (expect a wait). - Nitro Cold Brew Tea available (creates a foamy top like beer). - Toppings: Barley boba, chestnut boba, crystal ramen, Miyazaki yuzu jelly, and hōjicha pudding. - Rose cream foam or Sakura snow whip. - Evaporated milk, soy milk, almond milk, AND oat milk. Soft opening promo: 15% off. If you post a review on Yelp or Google, you get 20% off. D R I N K S We choose drinks from their illustrated menus which I'm assuming are their speciality or top sellers? * Pistachio Cream Foam Iced Tea w/ choice of tea ($7.50) - Cashier recommend the golden phoenix oolong for a strong tea flavor - 30% sweet The pistachio foam overpowered the tea and with the non-dairy creamer, it was too milky. Also, 30% sweet was too sweet. * Grapefruit Orange Green Tea ($7.25) - 50% sweet Fruit forward with a mellow grassy and floral flavor. Not mine but at 50% sweet, it felt 100% sweet. S E R V I C E The cashier was awesome - upbeat, friendly, and knowledgeable. She was communicative with the wait times. Sweet staff thanked and apologized for the wait when you pick up your order. Overall, I didn't care for my drink but giving Formosa Aroma grace because it's soft opening with 15% off and the customer service was great. Probably best to stick with their basic tea or milk tea to appreciate their Taiwan imported teas. read more

My partner and I LOVE Formosa Aroma in SoCal, so we were excited to try the South Bay location. We ordered the Iron Buddha Milk Tea at regular sweetness, but it was unbearably sweet- almost like drinking simple syrup with just a hint of tea. We tried to have the ice melt a bit to lower the sweetness, but it made it watery and sugary. We ended up throwing this drink away since it was so bad. read more

Can't wait to go back and try different ones. read more

Came during soft opening, line is more efficient than it looks. Wide wide option of drinks, it can definitely be overwhelming the first time visiting. Got the golden phoenix oolong milk tea w boba and four seasons mountain tea w boba, both w non dairy creamer, 100% ice, 70% sweet. Tea quality was superb (they use teaspresso machines), but not sure of the right combo of tea/dairy yet for what mixes the best. Overall enjoyed the drink, sweetness tea mix had a bit of a strange taste mid drink but it does have that golden oolong unique note that not many boba shops will have. A few tables but not the most seating inside, def more of a grab and go place. Can be pricy w all addons but such is boba these days, will be back when in the area! read more

I've been seeing Formosa Aroma all over IG and XHS lately, especially since they expanded from LA. Their focus on authentic Taiwanese tea is a huge selling point, so I had to come see if it lived up to the hype. I visited on a Thursday afternoon when the shop was only half-full. Despite the low volume of customers, it took 20 minutes to get our drinks. There were only two employees: One at the register and one making drinks, and the workflow felt significantly bogged down. As for the tea itself, it was a solid, average cup, but the efficiency definitely needs improvement. If you're in a rush, you might want to reconsider until they iron out their staffing or speed. read more

Drinks: . Jasmine Green Milk Tea - thin tea and strong taste, fragrant . Sakura Snow Whip Matcha Typhoon - blended drink, sakura whip is rose fragrant, matcha is strong and sweet, refreshing . Iron Bhudda Oolong Milk Tea - roasted, strong tea, sweet (if u want a more roasted flavor, I recommend the Fire Phoenix) . Creme Brulee Brown Sugar Boba Milk - classic . Lychee Assam Black Tea - 50% sweet is still very sweet (I recommend 25% sweet) but it could be from the lychee jelly, lychee flavor overpowers the tea (subtle tea aftertaste) . Boba is a good chew but a little more on the firmer side. There's limited seating, small layout, you can pick ur milk/creamer, store smells like tea yay. Recently opened so expect a long wait (I waited about 40 mins). The tea is freshly brewed with teaspresso machines. Standard pricing on drinks. read more

Formosa Aroma - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Drink 4/5 I got the four season tea with whole milk ($6.5 tea + 0.5 choice of milk + tax = $7.66) The milk tea itself isn't that impressive and I think it would taste better with the non dairy creamer, I opted for the whole milk for a richer taste but it was okay. For the price and drink, I don't think it's worth the wait. They also didn't have a lot of toppings available at 5pm. Service 3.5/5 Came on a Saturday at 5pm and there isn't actually that many people waiting in line but it took SO long to order cuz all the elders had so many questions. It was also taking them at least five minutes to produce one order, which makes the wait about an hour total with about 10 parties ahead of me. Only one cashier no kiosk. They are taking orders on delivery apps though. Ambiance 4/5 Not a lot of seating and can get crowded with people ordering and waiting. The warm/wood coloring makes it feel homey and the store is kept clean. read more

A welcome addition to the Westgate area with a focus on strong tea flavors! Their build your own (Formosa signature milk tea) lets you choose from 15 types of teas and a variety of toppings, foams, and puddings. There are teas on tap and some are freshly brewed with the teappreso machines. The freshly brewed teas tasted stronger. Tea sweetness levels are similar to those other shops so I'd go with your usual %. Boba seems to not have been not soaked in sugar for long for the sweetness to penetrate fully. I'd like to see them provide some extra menus by the door (since there's only one full menu at the register) and some kiosks to order from (since it's just one register currently). There's only three tables so I wouldn't expect to sit and hang out here. read more

TLDR: cute interior but few seats, watered down tea, slow workers Came here on a Saturday afternoon. They didn't seem too busy for a weekend (3 people in line to order, about 10 waiting for drinks). We were told it would be a 25 minute wait but we ended up waiting around 40 minutes. Honestly, I don't think they were busy enough to justify a 40 min wait. They had 4 employees making drinks but they were putting out maybe 1 drink every few minutes. At one point, I saw 2 employees just standing there starting at a cup confused for a long time. Perhaps they're new and still training, but they should staff at least 1 person who knows how to make the drinks, especially on a weekend. Now for the actually drink reviews- WHAT WE ORDERED: - Hojicha Pudding Iron Buddha Milk Tea (2/5): I enjoyed the hojicha pudding but the tea itself was watered down. I could barely taste the tea flavor. - Hot Jasmine Milk Tea with pearls (2/5): also quite watered down, but the pearls were not bad. While I didn't really enjoy the drinks, I did appreciate that they don't make their drinks too sweet here. The shop's decor is also nice but there aren't many seats inside. read more

New Taiwanese boba place opened in Westgate!! (like we didn't have enough boba places already lol) They took over the old Lilikoi Boba spot next to Sprouts. We saw them open after grocery shopping. Right now they're still doing soft opening. I guess this is why their service is kinda slow. This place reminds me of Come Buy Tea in Taiwan. They have some tables inside if you want to stay.They have the teapresso machine and also cold brew tea available. They have a pretty extensive menu, and you can customize your drink any way you want. The options are pretty interesting. We tried the hojicha pudding and jasmine tea with buckwheat boba. They're both so good. The tea flavors are super strong, especially the jasmine tea, which we paired with evaporated milk. The buckwheat boba is basically like the popping oats from other boba places, it's not actually boba. Overall super happy with this new spot! Definitely a nice tea forward place if you're into that. Excited to come back for their other drinks, didn't get to try the teapresso yet. read more

So happy to see one of my favorite bubble tea spots in socal show up in the bay area!! My friend got me a drink here since she was in the area and today happens to be their soft opening! I've been the biggest fan of formosa aroma ever since they newly opened their first location in Alhambra. I asked on instagram and there are also a few san jose exclusive drinks like the matcha latte with jelly noodle My favorite is usually the frozen summit but it's not available in san jose. Hopefully they can add it soon! Instead, I got the golden phoenix milk tea with osmanthus jelly and it was really good (as expected) Hopefully they can add more menu items soon (: read more

I came to the soft opening because they have a 15% discount! It came out within 5 minutes. The tea tastes a bit sweet at 30% sugar and like natural white peach. Increase sugar level if you have a sweet tooth! If not, keep it at this level. There's pieces of peach in it. The boba tastes just like boba. It's a good place to hang out with friends or go on dates if you get a table! You can hear yourself talk over the music so that's a huge plus. There are 3 small tables with 2 chairs each. I recommend you go during nonpeak hours as it's near a Sprout's! read more

This was a standard boba place. Quality is overall good but didn't stand out compared to other places in the area. They have tea flavors.

Also not a lot of place to sit so not a place to hangout. read more

So far, the drinks are inconsistent at Formosa Aroma. I usually get a Jasmine milk tea with whole milk, 70% sweetness, and 50% ice. The first time I had this drink, it was creamy, rich, and had a strong Jasmine tea taste. I enjoyed it a lot! The wait was also really long. It took about 40 minutes to get my drink! The second time I had this drink, it tasted watered down and not creamy like last time. I hope the drinks become more consistent the next time I stop by. The cashier was friendly and patient even though it was busy. There isn't much seating since the inside is pretty small. read more
