    Underrated boba shop in the east side of San Jose! My friends and I decided to get some late evening boba before they closed at 7:30 pm. Though arriving at 7:10 pm, the staff were getting to ready to close shop and still took our orders! It's a warm boba shop when you come in with a cozy interior that's cat themed! There's a cute cat mirror and cat wall paining for that aesthetic picture with your boba. They have a daily special of buy 2 drinks get 1 free! Such a good deal. I got the mango tea 50% sweet with lychee jelly. Was done in 5 minutes and it was refreshing, sweet to my liking, and good! A great experience and I recommend that you should go here!

    Mango Coconut Delight
    Eric H.

    Feels like a place for younger kids so I felt a bit out of place here. There were board games and toys for kids for them to play with. I ordered the Mango Coconut Delight and it was a lot bigger than I expected. The coconut flavor was good and had bits of mango inside. I got 50% sweet but I still thought it was too sweet, perhaps because this place has a younger audience. If I came again I would opt for a lower sweetness.

    Meow Tea Mix & Black Sugar Fresh Milk
    Christina T.

    I always stop by Meow Tea when I take my brother to get a haircut. I like how Meow Tea always has the deal of buy 2 get 1. There are a few chairs for you to sit on inside and parking is kind of difficult. The shop also provides a few games that you or children can play on. The pricing is decent and very affordable. Hits: * Meow Tea Mix is a good classic boba if that's what you're looking for. It comes with grass jelly, boba and coffee jelly. I do think the regular sweet is too sweet so I always get less sweet. * Mango Coconut Delight is also very refreshing. I enjoy the mango and like how it comes with egg pudding. Final Verdict: Solid 4/5. The shop is always playing sweet and cute music. We also ordered the Black Sugar Fresh milk but I found it kind of basic and didn't stick out much. The staff is also nice and answers any questions that I may have. Although parking is a bit difficult, it is kind of worth it for the deal they offer.

    Closed on May 19 sign out their door. It would be nice if they updated that they were closed on yelp. Wasted my time and energy driving there.

    We got their honey yuzu with 50% sugar. This was very nice and refreshing. Surprised this came with jelly. A great value for $5! Would definitely come back to try their other drinks and snacks!

    Vietnamese Milk Coffee
    Ray L.

    Meow Cafe We ordered two drinks here 2 Wintermelon Aloe they had a "Buy two get one free deal" so we got a Vietnamese Milk Coffee. Drinks 5/5: The wintermelon aloe teas were rich in flavor and a great level of sweetness. The aloe was fresh and provided a great balance to the drink. The Vietnamese coffee was strong and flavorful. Since I drank the coffee the following morning after the ice melted, the cup looked a quarter empty. But it was a free drink so I shouldn't complain, but look at the photo of the unopened drink.

    Excellent fruit teas. I got mango, lychee, and peach teas with passion fruit popping bobas and lowest sugar level (10-25%). They have a buy 2 get 1 free deal. I paid $4.50 per drink + 0.50 per topping. Really affordable, but more importantly, very delicious teas. Their fruity teas are perfect treats on a hot day. The lychee tea has bits of lychee fruit in the drink. I really like the snacks too: takoyaki are my favorite. Service is great: nice and friendly. This is my favorite boba tea in San Jose.

    Takoyaki
    Lihz P.

    Wow! I have not been here in a long time! Hands down still the best takoyaki in town and the fish ball? Yum! I honestly come here more for their food than their drinks. Minus one star for the super long wait - it took about 30 minutes for 3 food items and 3 drinks. & it was hot and stuffy inside.

    pandan waffle $4, mild pandan flavor.
    Joyce T.

    food, service, ambiance - all okay. We had the wintermelon tea, earl grey milk tea and boba tea with creme. They have B2F1 which is a good deal. Their price is decent too. We ordered pandan waffle, it's crispy outside and soft inside, very mild pandan flavor. There is no AC, it's kind of warm inside. They have some board games which is good to kill time while waiting for the food and drinks.

    Matcha with mango slush, watermelon slush + boba, matcha slush
    Jiamei L.

    My favorite boba place in San Jose!! They usually have a buy 2 get 1 free deal and the drinks are so affordable. They have one of the largest menus I've seen with lots of variety and customization. They have a nice TV where they play music videos or movies. At my last visit, we ordered: - matcha with mango slush - matcha slush - watermelon slush All drinks are incredibly delicious and refreshing! The drinks are always good quality. They never miss!! I definitely recommend everyone to visit Meowtea in SJ.

    Calamari heads
    Amanda D.

    Always come here for the avocado smoothie. Hidden gem in san jose. Their snacks are also delicious. Recommend to try the calamari heads. The shop is clean. Staff are friendly and flexible.

    Meow Tea Special (comes with grass jelly, coffee jelly and pearls)
    Rene C.

    Meow Tea located in the same plaza as Lee's market on Senter Road. Parkings are always tight, but never too hard to find an empty spot. I had their Meow Tea Special and I got to say it was surprisingly good. The drink is basically just regular milk tea with coffee jelly, grass jelly and boba. Their boba is soft and chewy. The grass jelly was smooth and refreshing. The coffee jelly was a little harder than I expected, but the flavor was on point. There was a good balance between the milk and tea, but I would recommend getting it at maybe 75% sweetness. Their takoyaki was pretty spot on too. It was piping hot and they were generous with the octopus filling. Meow Tea is definitely a hidden gem with pretty good drinks and tasty snack.

    I have been waiting years for the Bay to catch up w/ the Viet coffee!! I'm loyal to Phin Smith in…read morethe OC (better than Vegas imo)and had to ask others to get me grinds. I make my own viet coffee with crema at home but alas!!! Along comes Lacáphê !! It's usually super busy and I get overstimulated so I typically grab my drink and go. Recently I sat down inside and enjoyed my egg coffee for a bit. The line eventually grew. Preordering is clutch and crucial. egg coffee is perhaps my all time favorite. 50% sweetness, normal amount of ice. the perfect blend.

    Great drinks and space inside BUT horrible service…read more 1. first I wanted to change my drink from 50% to 25% sugar They gave me hard time even when I offered that I will pay for another drink if they can't . 2. I wanted a non-caffeinated strawberry drink for my daughter. I wanted to buy another drink with strawberry Matcha, but without Matcha they did not give it. They said it's a policy which I felt it is hard as my daughter really wanted something with strawberry either a strawberry lemonade or strawberry milk. They said they wouldn't. 3. My daughter went up to get an empty glass and the employee gave a really nasty face shrugged his shoulder on my seven year-old very unprofessional. The food can be great, but people don't know how to treat their customers it's the worst place to be at. I would request the owners to teach their employees how to respect their customers how to greet them, especially how to treat little kids.

    My favorite coffee shop in San Jose. I look forward to going every time. All their drinks are…read moreexcellent. I started with the vanilla bean latte with oat milk. Good hot or iced. Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!

    Wanted a matcha and a friend recommended this place! Known for their Banana Cream Matcha latte…read more Came here abt 2:30pm on a Friday and it was a full house. There is a bench-like tables with stools and 3 yellow tables for seating. There was limited street parking. Quick and friendly service - basic "what can I get you?" and no convo. I liked the hojicha the most but all drinks were good. Banana matcha was creamy and sweet. Vanilla cold brew was yummy and vanilla was not too overpowering. Would come again to try their pastries, they were allllll out. Order: 1 Matcha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Hojicha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Madagascar Vanilla Cold Brew $5.50
