I've been to Haiku a few times now. I live really close, and it's only about a five minute drive,…read morebut it didn't really catch my attention at first. Usually, it isn't too crowded when I visit, so finding a table is easy. There also isn't much interaction with the baristas since orders are placed through the kiosk. I've tried serval drinks, including the banana matcha, cookie butter matcha, and corn einspannar. When I first tried the matcha, I thought it was just okay, it tasted pretty bland. The corn einspannar was definitely the standout at the time, although I got tired of the flavor after a few sips. I'm a huge fan of anything cookie butter, so I'm always looking for places that do it well. I decided to try the cookie butter hojicha, and it was amazing. The hojicha here is a 10/10! Later, I tried the cookie butter latte, and it was just as good. The cookie butter and coffee pair so well together. The main reasons I keep coming back is their cookie butter and hojicha. If they ever take the cookie butter off the menu, I'll be sad

I love the aesthetic of this tea shop! It's so cute inside, from the simplistic menu to the cute…read morecapybara decorations. I'm not from the area, and I will happily say that when I come to town, I will give this spot a visit. I've been here twice now, and the cookie butter matcha really stands out. It's a delicious and truly perfected drink. I haven't tried a combination like it before. I lovee the concentrated, earthy, and a hint of bitter matcha bottom paired with the sweet, creamy cookie butter cream top. They go together so well. The other two drinks I've tried are the Guava Jasmine tea and the Mount Everest Black Tea with Salted Cheese. Of these two, I liked the black tea more. The black tea was strong, and the Salted Cheese topping was a nice, thick consistency and a good balance of saltiness, sweetness, and cheese taste. I would probably not order the Guava Jasmine tea again. I was looking on this Yelp page for which drinks to order, and I was sad to find out that they don't offer their White Peach Oolong tea anymore, but Haiku has an easy-to-access website to order from in advance, so shoutout to that. I'm curious about the Corn Einspanner, so maybe I'll give it a try the next time I come back.

I really like this spot! The menu isn't massive, but what they have they do well--I am personally a…read morefan of how focused their menu is. I will say that the drinks are on the pricier side; everything her ranges from 6 to 8 dollars, even for the smaller-sizd drinks. This spot is a bit small, but it is well-lit and comfortable to sit in. It's clean and stylish inside, and orders are primarily taken through a standing tablet. It's relatively easy to find parking, even though the lot is somewhat busy, especially right after work. The drinks come out pretty quickly and taste really good, though even their "less sweet" options tend to err on the side of being too sweet. I am usually a bit suspect of matcha or hojicha served by places that mostly serve other boba drinks, but I have tried both the matcha and hojicha here, and I liked both. They don't serve food or snacks, which I don't mind! I would absolutely recommend this spot to others; it's a nice experience and their drinks (at least the ones I've tried) are solid.

I usually order ahead through the Squarespace app whenever I come here, which makes the experience…read moreincredibly convenient. My go-to order is the Strawberry Matcha with whole milk, less ice, less sweetness, and honey boba. The matcha has a rich, flavorful taste that pairs perfectly with the strawberry puree. The strawberry flavor is fresh and not overly sweet, creating a well-balanced drink that doesn't overpower the matcha. The honey boba adds just the right amount of sweetness and texture, making it my favorite combination. One of the best things about this shop is how fast the service is. Even when ordering in person, I'm usually able to get my drink and be on my way within minutes. The efficiency makes it an easy stop when I'm craving a quick drink. The interior is also a highlight. There's plenty of seating available for anyone looking to study, work, or simply catch up with friends. The space feels welcoming and cozy, with a cute aesthetic that makes it enjoyable to spend time in. Overall, this is a great boba shop with quality drinks, fast service, and a comfortable atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, I would definitely recommend trying the Strawberry Matcha.

My go-to study spot since 2021!…read more I consistently enjoy getting their drinks (matcha) and spending my time studying here. Beyond the consistency in drinks and ambience, their service is top tier! I came here wanting to work on something important, worked, and the wifi suddenly stopped working. The sweet lady noticed me struggle to reconnect to the wifi (as I kept glancing at their "wifi and password" sign) and went out of her way to help me reconnect! I never usually write reviews but shoutout to her.

I came by on a Sunday afternoon to pick up my drinks that I ordered through DoorDash on their…read morewebsite. The inside is nice and there were plenty of tables available. However, we went to the counter to pick up our drinks and were ignored by all the employees for 5 minutes. When they finally acknowledged us, they told us to go order at the kiosk. We told them that we ordered online, and they got our drinks out of a fridge, which meant they had been ready the whole time. We got a banana matcha 75% sweet and a raspberry black tea 100% sweet. Both were very sweet but good. I might come back and get the drinks less sweet, but I definitely wouldn't order online again. The bad customer service discourages me from coming again.

Went on a night stroll to explore the neighborhood and decided to try B Cafe. I ordered their Black…read moreSesame Cream Top Hojicha and it was super tasty! You could taste both the sesame and hojicha. I've been to a fair amount of boba shops where the hojicha overpowers the sesame, but B cafe had the right balance. The drink took some time because it was made with care. I saw what I suppose is the owner (an older gentleman) making the drink and taking his time whisking the hojicha and sesame. Lovely spot with ample seating. I'll be back to try their other items!

I loved X TEA and now B Cafe! My siblings and I actually really love the drinks here! B Cafe has…read moremilk teas still but also has matcha and baked goods. i recently had their earl grey matcha and the guava tea bread and both were so delicious. the matcha was hand whisked and the ratio was great! i asked for less sweetness and it was delivered perfectly. the guava tea bread was packaged but it was incredible. so soft and moist and the guava flavor was strong. loved it! i like how there's tables and sit down areas so we ended up being able to stay for awhile. will definitely come back!

TP Tea Berryessa is a dangerous kind of convenient: the type of place that sits right around the…read morecorner from my childhood home and suddenly turns a quick errand into "we might as well grab drinks and waffles." But convenience only gets you in the door. The quality is what makes you come back. The Lychee Berry Smoothie is my personal favorite: bright, refreshing, clean, and balanced without being overly sweet. My kids loved the egg waffles, especially because they come out warm, crisp, and fun to share. My son went straight for the Brown Sugar Boba Milk, and that one has that rich, smooth, classic brown sugar flavor that tastes like comfort in a cup. What impressed me most is the value. Everything feels polished, fresh, and well put together without feeling overpriced for what you get. Great drinks, great waffles, great location, and the kind of consistency that makes this an easy family go-to. Beautiful quality, strong value, and dangerously convenient in the best possible way. Easy 5 stars.

I've been here twice now, and unfortunately this visit was a disappointing experience. I decided to…read moretry something new--the Lychee Berry Smoothie--but it didn't turn out well. While I generally like strawberries, the strawberry sauce in this drink tasted off. Not sure if it taste bad because it's near the end of the day. I noticed a sign stating that if you're not satisfied with your drink, it can be remade. So I politely asked if they could remake mine without the strawberry since that was the only issue. At first, the employee told me they couldn't remake it without strawberry, which was confusing given the posted policy. I explained again that the strawberry tasted bad and pointed out the sign. Only then did she agree to remake it. Everything else about the drink was fine, and I wouldn't have asked for a remake if the strawberry sauce hadn't tasted spoiled. The interaction just felt unnecessarily difficult and left a bad impression. It was upsetting to end my day with this kind of experience. Honestly, this place isn't my favorite to begin with--I only came because my boyfriend likes it--but after this, I probably won't be ordering anything for myself again.

This place is known for their matcha but I especially love the hojicha here. The drink is not…read moregrainy at all -- very smooth (which can sometimes be an issue with hojicha drinks). The flavor here is very strong -- you can actually taste the roasty nuttiness of the hojicha and it is not diluted at all.

Not impressed with this place. The competition of tea shops are high and hence the expectation…read more This tiny store has no seating areas and it's right next to another restaurant that I almost missed it. The lack of decoration and even an outdated appearance is unattractive. The cloth hung between the front and kitchen is dirty with stains. The place is focused on matcha and I wanted to get something more tea focused and less milky; among all the choices, I picked earl grey with matcha latte. It's pricey. For $7.25, there's limited choices complementary. If you want it no ice, $2 extra. If you want cream top, extra. The minimum sugar level is 50% and I don't mind getting 0. When I got the drink, the layer of white sweet cream kind of material is at the bottom. Although it looks dreamy and artsy, the first sip was too sweet. I had to fully mix everything to make the tea drinkable. Also second sip, there's something artificial in the taste. So all in all, a 3 star and probably hard to find a reason to come back.

They're getting really creative with the drinks, even adding rice into it lol. I got the strawberry…read moreteagurt & I added purple rice as my topping. My friend got the jujube purple rice yogurt. I didn't think tea & yogurt would mix well, but it's actually pretty good! It's not too tart and you mostly taste the strawberry jam. The purple rice gives it a different texture when you chew, and I'm assuming it's pretty healthy if you compared it to boba. My friend thought her drink tasted ok. It's a nice change if you want something other than boba.

I've discovered a new drink place to add to my list of favorites. Next time, I'm not sharing the…read moreosmanthus yogurt. It was smooth with a mellow sweetness, even at 100%. The osmanthus syrup complimented the yogurt and gave it some texture. The grape teagurt, on the other hand, is probably not something I'll get again because the grapes at the bottom were too sour and had a weird rubbery, gritty texture. I'm looking forward to trying the honeydew yogurt drink next. They have a lot of unique drinks that I haven't seen elsewhere. I appreciated that when my drink came out a little short, the server made more so that it would fill to the top. And I appreciated that the register asked me to join their rewards program after paying instead of there being a nondescript sign somewhere away from the counter that would surely lead to me kicking myself for not seeing it after spending a lot. The reward is $8 off for spending $100.

The drinks are great and affordable, especially for the Bay Area. Here are my thoughts on some of the drinks I've had at this location. MUNG BEAN MILK TEA: Even if you try to lower the sweetness, this drink is quite sweet. It definitely leans into pandan flavors. SEA CREAM JASMINE TEA: I usually like this drink from other locations, but when I ordered it here it tasted oddly like coffee. I've been weary of ordering it again. SEA CREAM BLACK COFFEE: Definitely can't go wrong with this item. The Sea Cream is delicious and blends well with the Black Coffee to create a taste that's not too sweet. GREEN THAI TEA: Another great option that is consistently tasty. Thai Tea with some floral notes. If you don't like drinks that are too sweet, I would recommend asking them to lower the sweetness. However, for some drinks, it is not possible to lower the sweetness. Overall, the ambiance is nice and the drinks are affordable. I will be coming back!

I usually get the House Coffee Iced at easy sweet level, and it's exactly what I want. Good sweetness level, strong coffee, and not too much ice like some more traditional coffee places.

Service has always been quick and the staff are friendly too. I've been back several times already and will definitely keep coming back.
