    Amazing, but Parking will be Tough Molly Tea is hands down one of the best tea chains to grace San Jose. Their Snowy Jasmine ($7.99) and Apple Milk Tea are timeless staples with delicious and strong tea flavors. The whipped cream on the Snowy Jasmine is fluffy and flavorful paired with their pecan topping. What a treat! I noticed that this location wasn't selling some of my favorites like the Salted Cheese drinks, perhaps to make space for their new Velvety matcha drinks. I was also pleasantly surprised when I was happily greeted by their baristas at this location, something I'm not usually used to expecting at Molly Tea. While the store is lovely, spacious, and not too crowded with ample seating, the parking is less spectacular. This business is paired with a parking lot with less than 5 dedicated spots, if that, for Molly Tea customers. Since it neighbors an apartment complex, most parking spots are reserved for residents and risk towing. Not to mention the parking is tight and you can barely turn without dinging another car. If you're willing to walk a slight bit, there's residential parking a little ways away.

    Really small parking lot. I've been twice now and i was lucky both times to beat the rush but I can only imagine how stressful it is during high traffic... This specific Molly tea is L shaped so there's more seating to the side and not just in front of the kiosk and pick up counter. I love getting the snowy jasmine with the crunchy nuts on top!! I appreciate that they always ask you beforehand and wait for you to come pick up the drink before putting in the whipped cream and nuts.

    I love Jasmine tea, and here Jasmine is the main focus. Strong floral flavor but still delicate somehow. The parking is terrible here and there is often a long line. But you can order ahead online which is a huge plus. Service is fast but robotic.

    The place was super cute but the jasmine milk tea was ok. I got a hot and cold jasmine milk tea and they were both lacking in flavor. I will come again to try the jasmine milktea snow and maybe the other flavors. Got pictures of the cute pins that they have.

    This store is very cute. The decor makes it feel like it's an Instagram place to take photos. Parking was a bit tough though. The service was easy since it was just ordering via kiosks. The drink options were great and easy to understand. They didn't have a million options. The drink itself was delicious. Nothing was overwhelming. It was just the right amount of sweetness.

    The inside is modern, spacious, and clean. They have a kiosk right by the door where you can order. The tea comes out so quickly! Their premium jasmine tea is amazing, the jasmine flavor is prominent. I love when you can actually taste the tea and it's not masked by sugar or other flavorings. Plus, I appreciate that they have a cup lid with a lip so you don't have to waste a straw. I'd definitely come back to try more teas.

    I am not too sure about the hype around this place, however, it must be given the cuteness and ambience. As with other Yelpers, this location is actually quite inconvenient as there are about six spaces available for an otherwise very popular boba shop. So depending on your luck, you may need to wait around until a spot opens up. Others have reported parking elsewhere and walking over. On a Wednesday mid afternoon, this place was packed. The staff was friendly and took the time to answer my questions. My drink took perhaps about 10 minutes to be served up. I wasn't impressed by my oolong milk tea drink. It is really my test as a comparison with the plethora of boba places around the Bay. And for that, I most likely will not be returning anytime soon.

    Big fan of Molly Tea.. I got the snowy peach, my wife got the snowy jasmine and my son got the premium jasmine. They were all really good and I also liked the restaurant style. Didn't really interact much with people working there since you order via touchscreen so can't comment on the service. If I'm in the area I'm definitely going again.

    I've really been wanting to try Molly Tea, especially after hearing many of their other locations were closing down or going through rebrands, etc. The Bay Area stores are unaffected, but I didn't want to miss my chance so I came here right when they opened on the weekend. Parking is super limited, but we snagged a spot in their very small lot. Ordering on the kiosk super easy and I downloaded their app to get a dollar off my first drink. Plenty of seating inside but I could imagine it gets quite crowded inside quickly! The service was also really quick and my drink came out within 5-ish minutes! I got the snowy jasmine and honestly it was fine but nothing to rave about. The jasmine tea tasted quite mild and watered down and the jasmine whipped cream was really good but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again.

    This was my first time trying Molly Tea and I loved it. The Snowy Jasmine tasted so refreshing and floral. The whip cream mixes so well with the drink. The parking was slightly hard and the service took long but that is to be expected since there was so many drinks to make.

    Must visit! Cute place ! Great Jasmine tea.. Ordered a snowy jasmine , will definitely be back!

    Molly Tea is a hyped up boba shop across the street from Main Street Cupertino. The store is relatively clean but can get very crowded. The drinks are kind of expensive but the quality does not reflect the price point. The boba was really soft and more like a paste than a tapioca ball. The matcha was just mediocre (low grade probably about the same as the Costco bag). Service is kinda slow. I don't understand the hype or the popularity.

    Molly Tea has become one of my go to places for milk tea. I used to go to the one in Sunnyvale and that parking lot is so small and crazy sometimes. I'm so happy that they opened this Cupertino location. Parking lot still sucks, but you can park in the neighborhood and walk. I usually get the jasmine oat milk tea at 50% sweet. I love that you can taste the jasmine tea and the oat milk is not overpowering. The jasmine mango coconut is also good and refreshing. It reminds me of the mango one at heytea. Service can vary depending on the day, but there are plenty of seats inside for you to sit down and wait. I usually like to order online and pick it up. Overall, highly recommend Molly tea. I can't wait for the Santa Clara location to open soon!

They had 120+ drinks being made at all times according to their board, so definitely order at least an hour ahead of time on the weekends. When we finally got our drinks, we chugged them because we were so thirsty and they were sooo good. We ordered a variety of drinks: Strawberry Avocado Kale, Strawberry Daifuku, Durian Smoothie and a few of their other fruit smoothies. The Strawberry Avocado Kale and Strawberry Daifuku were definitely the top 2 drinks for us and I'm excited to come back to try the regular Avocado Kale with popping oat boba! There is plenty of seating inside but if you don't like the smell of durian, then I probably wouldn't sit there. Once you enter the store, you are blasted with a waft of durian air. Overall, 10/10, can't wait to come back when I'm in South Bay!

SERVICE (3/5): Just the wait for the drinks can be insane. I've seen wait time for over an hour before. They don't allow you to order ahead at opening. It was a 20 minute wait at opening. TAKEAWAY: I don't know if these drinks can be a meal replacement. Parking here sucks, small lot.

Of their drinks on the menu, white champaca, white champaca oolong, dancong, white champaca matcha are the top drinks I cycle through.

They now have order online via their website (chowbus), and I recently learned that they have an app. This makes ordering drinks at this location easy since it is located in corner strip mall with minimal parking.

The brown sugar drink was such a treat. Great ration on everything, no complaints, just go try! This spot is super busy, drinks were coming out right and left. So customer service is not quite there because they are sooo busy making drinks. There is a self ordering kiosk. There are screens displaying the status of your order, in progress or finished. So it's pretty effective for the customers. The space is nice! It's like givinf that indoor outdoor feel because there's a tree inside and the ceiling is really high . Overall, I would come back.

My first experience was pretty mid because the ceremonial matcha latte was VERY strong and bitter. I couldn't finish it and it made me super jittery. After coming back a few more times though, I found a couple things I really liked. The Crème Brûlée Matcha was delicious. I finished the entire drink. You can't change the sweetness level, which is unfortunate, but their recommended sweetness actually balanced the stronger matcha really well. The ice cream is probably the best thing here. Super creamy, perfectly sweet and really well blended. I would honestly come back just for the ice cream. The strawberry matcha latte was pretty unmemorable to me, and the hojicha was also extremely bitter. Service was good. The barista was kind and helpful, which I appreciated. You order through a kiosk, so there isn't a ton of interaction overall. When I first came around their opening, there was basically no line. After they started getting more hype, the lines became longer and longer. I think it's worth trying, but personally I wouldn't wait in a huge line for it. Overall, the matcha itself tastes authentic and is prepared well, but some drinks are just too bitter for my preference. My recommendations: the ice cream or Crème Brûlée Matcha. Those were easily the standouts for me.

Once I mentioned that I had purchased three drinks but didn't receive the advertised free drink, the cashier said she would check with who appeared to be the owner/manager. She asked, and the response was immediately no. The cashier then came back and simply told us, "Unfortunately, it's not possible." What bothered me wasn't even the price of the drink--it was the way the situation was handled. If a promotion is being prominently advertised inside the store, customers shouldn't be expected to know that it won't automatically apply when ordering through the store's own self-service screen. I had clearly purchased more than the two drinks required for the promotion, and there was no attempt to explain what went wrong or offer any kind of solution. I like led this place but this experience was disappointing and could have been handled with much better customer service. So disappointed!
