it's so good. Try it and you will like it! I had traditional milk tea with cheese ball

The green rice milk tea is great! I also like the cheese foam here. Wish they have more matcha option.

Delicious drinks and good service! All their drinks are deliciousimo, I recommend the matcha

Milktea Way is a refreshing and unique milk tea spot in a city that is oversaturated with them. The menu has drinks and toppings that are inspired by Vietnamese culture. There are interesting toppings such as cheddar cheese and cheese balls! There are only a few flavors for milk tea, which I like because it's easier to choose what you want lol. I opted for the traditional milk tea, 75% sweet, with the cheese cream foam. The cheese cream foam was sooo delicious and creamy. It actually had a cheese-y flavor and reminded me of Cheez Whiz. The cheese foam was sweetened as well, so I'd opt for 50% sweet next time. I will also probably ask for less ice. The service was great. The cashier was very passionate about their drinks and sharing Vietnamese culture with us when we asked questions about the menu. The drinks were served pretty quickly. I definitely will be back to show my family this place and also to try the cheese ball topping!!! read more

I hate writing review for boba places because they're all pretty decent nowadays. But Milktea way is so lowkey and got so many drinks that have flavors similar to Vietnam. It is a very small store but it is very decorated inside. The cashier named An was very respectful and helpful. The only down side is you can smell the fried food. read more

Milktea Way - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Milktea Way is a great spot if you're looking to try something a little different from the usual drink lineup. The service has always been friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Parking is limited since it's a small lot, but I didn't have much trouble finding a spot. I tried the Milktea Way signature drink, which comes loaded with toppings. It was fun to try and definitely unique, but personally I'd skip the extra toppings next time to keep the drink simpler. The green rice jasmine milk tea really stood out--it's not something you see often, and I enjoyed the flavor. You can also add another topping with the drink. That said, I'd probably ask for less of the green rice coating on the cup next time, just to balance it out more to my taste. The salted coffee and egg coffee were strong and tasty. Overall, a solid place with creative drinks and good service. Worth checking out if you want something a bit different. read more

I was in the area for Duc Huong banh mi yesterday and wanted a drink so decided to stop by. Got the green rice Jasmine milk tea at 50% sweet as recommended by the very nice barista working the register, also added the cheese cream, Jerry's cheese, and grass jelly. With the toppings added the drink was almost $12 which was kind of pricey, but I don't drink boba too often anymore so it's fine once in awhile. Since I have been avoiding caffeine for the last 2 years, I am now very sensitive to any amount, but surprisingly I was able to tolerate the tea from here as it doesn't smell or taste very strong. I really enjoyed my drink! It was definitely creamy, decadent, and the texture of the green rice was interesting. It tasted more like a dessert IMO than a drink. I can see myself craving it. I'll be back to try the cheese balls! read more

I got the milktea way drink! It was pretty good, next time I would probably not choose all 3 toppings BUT I appreciate the option to have all three. The service is amazing here, the barista was super nice and considerate. We did unfortunately deal with a curious non-customer coming into the store bother people, but the barista made sure everyone was okay and apologized for the incident. I would love to give her a shoutout but didn't catch her name :( She handled the situation perfectly and went above and beyond for us who did experience it I like the store ambiance, there was plenty of space to sit and to park! Just keep an eye out if you are hanging outside late alone. read more

This shop is located across the street from Vietnam Town. There are plenty of tables and seats, and they have several board games if you want to hang around and play. We ordered with one of the staff members, and they were very nice and helpful. I ordered the Green Rice Jasmine Milktea, which includes a choice of cream and topping. I opted for the Cheese Cream (per the staff's recommendation) and boba. I also adjusted to 25% sweetness. This drink was delicious. I was a little scared the cheese cream would taste very "cheesy" given the orange color but it was surprisingly subtle in flavor. It added a nice creaminess to the drink. The boba had the perfect balance of chewy and soft. I really liked the rice but I wish there was slightly less of it (just personal preference). My bf ordered the Salted Cream Coffee at 25% sweetness. The staff did warn him that the coffee taste would be very strong at that level of sweetness, and indeed it was. The coffee was good but 50% sweetness would probably be the better choice (note to self for next time). Overall, great boba shop and I would definitely come back! read more

Ordered the Green Rice Jasmine Milk Tea with Salted Cheese Foam 75% sweetness and added boba for $8.20 total after taxes. The difference between the salted foam and the salted cheese foam is that the salted foam is just cream and salt whereas the salted cheese has actual cheddar cheese in it. Regardless, the salted cheese foam just tasted like any other normal salted foam to me. It didn't have a distinct cheese flavor but the bright yellow color gave a nice contrast to the green rice in the drink which was fun and of course delicious! The green rice tasted like pounded sticky rice. It was lined on the outer edges of the cup, so be sure to use your straw to push the rice down to actually be able to get more chunks of it while you drink. I really liked the contrasting textures of the boba and the rice mixed in with the creaminess of the foam. 75% was not too sweet but I think I'll do 100% sweetness next time because the salted cheese foam was so creamy that it diluted the jasmine milk tea a little. The jasmine was fragant though. The boba here is SO GOOD! Perfectly chewy, nicely coated in honey, very addicting! The service was good, I'm definitely coming back. read more

Warm and welcoming cafe known for their selection of milk teas. They don't have a wide menu, but their teas are quite good. Boba could be a little chewier, but that's just my preference. Staff are very friendly, they have a clean seating area, and games for people while waiting, although you won't really be waiting long, since they make their drinks really fast. read more

I again was in search of boba/milk tea on my way home from work and decided why not try another new spot! Well Milktea Way was on the way. In short, I am torn and have mixed feelings about the drink experience as the drink itself was delicious, but not explicitly stating the drink will be 2/3 filled if you get no ice was a super disappointing to see after paying ~$7-8 drink. L O C A T I O N Milktea Way is located in a plaza on Story Rd and Clemence Ave. They have a dedicated parking lot that's shared with all the other businesses in the plaza. I did find parking but I'm usually coming at an off peak time. I N S I D E There were a few people inside but I realized they were just workers sitting at the table. They do have a good amount of space and seating. M E N U I looked at their menu and they do have some interesting drinks. A bit more Vietnamese influenced as the area did have more Vietnamese stores. They had a variety of coffees, milk teas, and fruit teas and a variety of toppings that cost from $1-2.25. I decided to go with a traditional milk tea, no ice, no sugar added, and grass jelly and my hubby a traditional milk tea, no ice with 25% sugar and Vietnamese pudding. As I was waiting for my drinks, I saw them packing a couple that were not full and was wondering oh maybe these aren't my drinks. NOPE. Absolutely not. I was not ready to see my drinks be 2/3 full. Trust me I tried to look happy leaving but my heart sank. I brought our drinks home and upon drinking them, they're delicious. They're definitely presweetened as it was quite sweet for me even at 0% sweetness. The drink was also very creamy. The grass jelly was ok but could've had more in there. I think if there were ice (which I did end up putting in my own), the drink would've been better in terms of balanced sweetness. S E R V I C E The person who took my order was nice and friendly and needed a bit of help from the other folks who were sitting at the tables as I think I kind of messed up the system as I was trying to enter my phone number to get the rewards system. I easily paid by card. Drinks came out in a speedy manner and packed in a to-go carrier. I didn't understand why I was given long spoons though. But I guess if you're trying to eat your toppings? Generally unnecessary unless it was ché-like dessert. O V E R A L L I've never seen this much space in a cup when there's no ice. I think they really need to put some signage or warning when ordering. If I had known it was that much, I may have just kept the ice in. With that said, it's kind of out of the way for me to come back and with the price I paid and the drink I got, I could get something comparable elsewhere. Now if it's nearby, maybe I'd come back and try their other drinks. But try them out and decide for yourself. read more

Plenty of easy parking. Staff was super nice and the decorations inside were so pleasing to look at! Menu was small (which I prefer so theres less overwhelming choice). Order through the cashier, no kiosk. I got the Green Rice Jasmine Milk Tea with Egg Cream and Crystal boba, no ice ($8, it comes with 1 cream and 1 topping). The green rice was interesting, it was on the side of the cup and it tasted like sweet really sticky rice. I think it paired well and the egg cream was really good! I would come back again, but maybe get my drink at 50% sweet. I got 75% and it was still really sweet imo read more

Milktea Way - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

This spot opened up about 5 months ago. The menu is small, serving a few teas, milk tea, and coffee drinks. I was intrigued with the Jasmine green rice milk tea from the photos on Yelp. You have the option of adding additional toppings (Jerry's Cheese, Vietnamese pudding and cheese balls) but I opted out. I added diced strawberries since the boba was not ready at the time, and topped it with the cheese cream. The strawberries masked the subtle jasmine flavors and the taste of the green rice were completely absent. If I were to reorder this drink, I'd keep it simple and leave out the strawberries and the cheese cream. The salted cream coffee (cafe muoi) was better. The coffee was strong and the cream was smooth and not too salty. The owner seemed to value customer insight and genuinely looks to ways to improve. I like the transparency and I'll be back to try other drinks when then menu grows. read more

Bro and I were here last August when they had a 25% promotion discount on drinks for their grand opening day. Milktea Way is one of many Vietnamese coffee cafes located along Story Road Little Saigon. We were very impressed with service and quality of their drinks so much so that we came back on a Wednesday morning and were greeted by a lone cashier it appears he was doing a one man job and were very amazed how quickly the drinks came out. First off I had the Thai green tea 50% less sweetness less ice a creamy flavor Bro choice egg cacao 50% less sweetness regular ice with fluffy egg cream condensed milk definitely has its health diet richness. Prices are far reasonable and has a cozy interior though no outdoor seating is provided. Would definitely be back their drinks are phenomenal service has been great no complaints. read more

A new boba spot just opened, and they're currently offering 25% off for their soft opening so of course, I had to take advantage of the deal. The workers here are really friendly, and drinks came out quickly. The location of the shop isn't in the nicest area, there was one man inside the store and that was cursing and talking to himself when we came in. For drinks, I tried the Green Rice Jasmine Milk Tea with the 'Milktea Way', which includes with 1 cream, all 3 of their special toppings, and one boba topping. It was very decadent. It's was good to sample and try everything but was definitely very heavy. I really enjoyed the green rice in the Jasmine Milk Tea, it was the sticky glutenous rice that provided lots of fun texture. All 3 of their special topping were good and creamy but the cheese balls stood out to me. The drink came in a big cup so this one drink alone fill me up. I got my drink at 75% sweetness but still felt like it was a tad bit too sweet. Overall, I would get the drink again minus all the special toppings. I also tried the Lychee Tea, which was just ok. Even at 75% sweetness, it still tasted very sweet to me. I would have prefer a stronger tea flavor. read more

Came to visit with my friends and partner as I heard there was a new shop that opened! There's also a 25% off your order for the soft opening as well. Which is really nice, so take advantage of that while there's a promotion! I ordered a special egg coffee, salted cream coffee and a strawberry matcha dream. I asked the worker a question about the salted cream white coffee and their regular in regard to what the difference was, he was very nice and answered my questions. The drinks came out quickly within less than 5 minutes. Hits: * Salted Cream Coffee and Special Egg Coffees are delicious. If you're looking for a strong Vietnamese coffee then this is it, I did get mine both with less sugar too. * Strawberry Matcha Cloud is good, it tastes exactly as it is described. I would recommend to lower the sweetness if you're not one who likes sugary drinks. Final Verdict: Solid 4/5. Friendly staff, a clean and spacious interior with seating, and a short wait time that made for a smooth visit. The coffee was good, but not particularly standout, especially with strong competitors like Tram Coffee just across the street. The current menu is a bit limited, and I'd love to see it expand with more unique or creative drinks that help it stand apart from the many boba and coffee shops in the area. Overall, it's a solid place with potential, and I'll be keeping an eye on how it grows. read more

Milktea Way was right next to where I had lunch (Banh Canh 3 Mien) so I decided to have a milktea as a dessert, but also because I was craving for coffee. The inside had really cute decor and plenty of seatings. I asked the cashier what was more popular between the salted cream coffee and avocado coffee, and she suggested the salted cream white coffee instead. She said it's a latte version of the salted cream coffee, meaning less strong.Since it was approaching 3pm and I love me a latte, I took her advice. The salted cream white coffee was okay. It was a little too light because of the amount of milk that's in it, so it basically taste like a coffee flavored milk tea, with a hint of salt. Even though I wouldn't order it again, I'll come back to try the other 2. read more

Good service and friendly staffs. If you love strong, aromatic tea and coffee, Milktea Way is the perfect place for you. Salted cream white coffee is one of my favorites drink here besides milk tea. The combination of Vietnamese coffee and salted cream perfectly softens the coffee's bitterness. It is suitable for people who cannot drink strong coffee. If you prefer strong coffee, special egg coffee or regular salted cream coffee is highly recommended. read more

Milktea Way - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Final Thoughts: 1.84/5 Soft 2 stars for me. Might have trended down, but the workers do seem nice. My frustration was mostly from my drinks. My friends and I are always down to try a new boba spot and this is where we landed today. Genuinely not impressed with my experience here; details below. Drink: Strawberry Matcha Dream: x This was supposed to be my drink, however, when you look at the picture, there is no strawberry visibly present in any of the drinks. Back story:: When ordering, there is going to be a screen in front of you that clearly shows you what you're ordering. My recommendation to is carefully look at it and confirm x3 that this is what you want. When I ordered, the cashier inputted "Matcha Cloud" when I stated that I wanted to order the "Strawberry Matcha Dream". I caught this and inquired about why it stated "Matcha Cloud" instead. What I was told was that this *is* the "Strawberry Matcha Dream" and that it is "just under the same name and labeled the same as the "Matcha Cloud". I believed it after I saw that the price was, in fact, for the Strawberry Matcha Dream. However, with all of that said, what resulted was not a Strawberry Matcha Dream, but the Matcha Cloud. I probably could have went back, but 1) My drink isn't actually labeled "Strawberry Matcha Dream" on the receipt and 2) I wasn't going to wait another 20 minutes for that because we already spent around 40-50 minutes waiting in line and to get our drinks. Matcha Cloud, 50% sweetness, regular ice, salted cream: 2.0/5 If you're looking for milk that's sweetened with sweetened condensed milk and a hint of matcha, look no further because this is the drink. This is what they mixed my drink up with. My friend and I ended up getting this drink...kind of. My friend weirdly had hints of strawberry essence inside of this drink and his was less sweet, which is interesting because I'm the one that wanted the strawberry drink. That beside, this drink just tastes like milk to me. There's really not a strong flavor of matcha anywhere inside of this beverage. Seems like a very one-dimensional drink and needless to say, I was more than underwhelmed by this drink. The salted cream that I also did not ask for was added to this drink. Makes it too thick, and rich for me. Perhaps too much heavy cream. For this, I can partially blame myself for because I didn't confirm why that was added to my drink even after I saw it there on the list of specifications for my drink. However...did I really stutter that much for my drink to be completely mixed up? Anyways, the saltiness from the cream helped balance out some of the sweetness. Not super significant because of the amount versus the size of the drink. It was nice and creamy and mixed well into the drink. Soursop Tea: 3.8/5 Perhaps best item out of three we got. My one note is that their sweetness leans more on being super sweet. We got 50% sweetness in our drinks and that was already sugary sweet. Can't imagine how sweet 100% would be. What I did enjoy was the soursop bits at the bottom of the drink. Perhaps this is frozen soursop, but it was still enjoyable. Overall very refreshing drink. --------- Quality: Ehh The quality is subpar for me. This is mostly based on the matcha because the flavoring of my drink bothers me so much. It was truly just sweetened milk with a hint of matcha. The green color isn't as vibrant as I have seen at other places either. Perhaps the amount of matcha isn't enough for a cup of that size or the match is just not up to quality. Price: Fair for size, not worth for quality The pricing is actually fair for a drink like this because of the size drink that is provided. However, if you think about quality, this might not be the spot for you. Price ranges from $6 to $8, which is quite average. Topping of greater than or equal to $1 are not cute though, but this is another location that charges that. Service: Seems friendly They seem nice and very friendly with their customers. Smiles all around. They also had a wheel to spin on the side. Perhaps this was for their grand opening or soft opening. Nothing too significant really. Just a simple interaction to order our drinks and pick up at the counter. Ambiance: Lively The interior is quite small. The tables do take up most of the space and the remainder of the empty space is taken up by the customers waiting to order. Layout is not the best perhaps or maybe they need another means of clearing out their customers quicker (perhaps a kiosk). This small interior does seem to make the place seem more lively inside with some talking and background music. Location/Parking: Small and compact This boba shop is located on Story Road and right in the plaza where Phở Gà Nhà is. Very small location across Vietnam town. The parking is horrible and the spots look like they're only made for a small compact sedan. Not very friendly for the SUV or truck owners. Drivers here are questionable too, so just caution the small space. read more

Plenty choices on menu, especially the build your own tea is fun. I got Strawberry Matcha Latte, since I don't like too much sweet, the owner advice me to order a 25% sugar level, which is perfect. Soursop tea is refreshing with actual soursop pulp. Staff are very nice. Even the line is long to the door but service is pretty quick.

I got the Green Rice Jasmine Milk Tea w/ cheese cream and boba (50% sugar and no ice). This drink comes with one cream and one regular topping, so those were the customizations I chose. Taste (5/5): The drink itself was very creamy but you could still taste the tea flavor, so there was a good balance of cream and tea. I appreciated the green rice spread around the cup since it was very fragrant/unique (assuming it's a Vietnamese topping) and makes the drink more special than typical jasmine milk teas at other boba shops. 50% sweetness is the perfect amount if you're someone who likes a little sweetness, but not too much. Service (3/5): I take a star off because the cashier handed me my drink with the cheese cream on the side (which I didn't ask for it to be outside my drink, so I thought that was a bit odd) -- therefore, I had to add it in myself. It came on top of some plastic wrap around the top of my drink, which wasn't very aesthetic but I'm assuming it's because I got no ice with my drink (not sure they couldn't add it in for me just bc I got no ice w/ my drink). The cream itself came inside a small plastic container, which I had to scoop into my drink since it wasn't already added in. read more

New boba shop just opened!! Milktea Way is currently in their soft opening phase with 25% off until their grand opening date. I came in at around 10:30AM and there was already quite some people lining up to order. I got a traditional milk tea full topping with 50% sweet. The cheese cream is sooo good and addicting and I love how they give so much cream. The toppings are flavorful and soft. It had vietnamese pudding, cheese jelly, and soft cheese balls plus a bonus topping of your choice. I picked crystal boba for mine. The cheese balls were delicious! The amount of toppings with the milk tea made my drink feel more like a dessert than a typical boba drink which I love. It kept me full as well. Love the creaminess of the milk tea paired with the potent tea flavor. My drink came out fast. Cashier and workers are friendly. I enjoy the cute layout of the store that's really aesthetic and picture worthy. Wish I remembered to take a photo of my drink while I was still inside! I would definitely come back to try their other drinks :) read more
