    Molly Tea is a favorite amongst boba drinkers, and this location is no different. The parking lot is a tad small, and the orders come in and out even on weekday afternoons when one might expect a calmer time. Ordering is pretty straightforward on their self-service kiosks. On this particular visit, I had their White Champaca Oolong Milk Tea with less ice and 30% sugar. Somehow, they always get it just right in terms of sweetness. The best part is the "three stack straw" which really brings out the taste of the tea. Drinks were being made and served to order minute by minute, and the overall wait time was ~ 15 minutes. While the seating here is comfortable and can be relaxing, make sure to plan ahead, as the sun can be quite the nuisance at the right angles!

    Came by to try after lunch on Mother's Day, probably around 4PM. The place was SUPER busy when we went, but the service was still really fast and organized, we got our drinks within 10 minutes. The interior is modern and really cute, and they even have a dog check-in photo wall which was so so cute ! We got the snowy Jasmine with boba. Drinks themselves were light, fragrant, and refreshing. Even at 100% sweetness, they actually weren't too sweet, I would even argue getting 125% to match other boba places 100% sweetness. The boba had a really good flavor and sweetness to it that balanced everything out perfectly. Overall a great spot to grab a drink. Next time I want to try their Pistachio Matcha Coconut water so I will be coming back!

    Seems like I finally found a drink I like here! Fourth time's the charm, I guess. During my first visit, Halloween 2024, I tried the iced white champaca oolong milk tea, probably no sugar added. I didn't like the after taste, it was kind of weird. I can take bitter tea flavor but didn't care for this. I gave it another try a few months later and got the same drink. Same reaction. I went to the San Mateo location in Jan 2026 and tried the iced jasmine tea with matcha cheese top, no sugar added. It was better but I still wasn't impressed. They definitely have quality tea but I didn't get the hype around this brand. Fast forward to April 2026, a work friend needed sugar so I went along for the ride and to get a hot drink. I ordered the DanCong Oolong milk tea, hot with 30% sugar. SOO GOOD! I will go back for this. I do prefer oolong teas. I thought I would like white Champaca since it's oolong plus jasmine, but here we are. My friend's favorite is the iced DanCong and he got the snowy version with jasmine whipped cream and pecan topping, 70% sweet. Tasted great! Parking lot actually had spots but it was a Monday afternoon. Can't wait for the new Rivermark location to open in Santa Clara! I walked past there today and looks like they might open in another month or so.

    Ah the famous Molly Tea! Quite a few locations have popped up; I hope they open one in the Tri-Valley soon. They close at 10:00pm everyday which feels so late to me LOL. Yay for late night boba! There is quite a lot of people working behind the counter, but it seems like a well-oiled system. The music, the staff, the lighting, the figurines all remind me of playing Animal Crossing for some reason LOL. I love the sleek wood accents inside, and there are 2 screens to order from. There's another larger screen that displays all order #s that are in progress or ready. Parking is very limited; I was lucky to snag a spot since I came around 8:00pm, but I don't know the area well enough to know where else I would've parked if it was full?? I heard people have parked in the plaza across the street. There is no WiFi (that I know of) and my phone was running on slow LTE, might be just me. Premium Jasmine Milk Tea ($7.99): Well. This tasted like proper jasmine milk tea, I don't know how else to describe it. I bow down. Still good even as the ice melted! The cup is sealed beneath the to-go lid, so the extra safety is excellent for the car and preventing spillage. Next time I'll order online for a faster wait time and try more drinks to pop into the fridge :)

    I've been going to Molly tea ever since they opened and have never been let down, except for the wait times even when it's not busy. I bought their new mango Jasmine coconut tea and while taking my last sip, a sharp hard plastic piece hurt my mouth and I almost swallowed it...

    Good golly miss molly. Your teas are amazing, girl! I've heard about Molly Tea from my friends in SoCal who rave about this Chinese spot to hit the States. I was surprised to find out it's based in Shenzhen and not in Taiwan, but their teas speak for themselves. They pride themselves on their jasmine tea offerings and there is a lot to love. The moment you walk in, you are just hit with its aromatic scents which can make it hard to decide on your order. I went with one of their oat milk options (shout out to my non-dairy friends), the White Champaca Oat Milk Tea, with reduced ice and sugar. I was in love with this drink upon first sip. The floral tastes of the tea was so strong and really stood out compared to other boba shops. Additionally, they use crystal boba which provides a lighter experience rather than normal starchy tapioca (not that I have any issue with that because they are still my obsession). Overall, a must have tea experience. It's one of the best in the area and definitely adds to the competition within Cupertino. Note: the pink bags are only available through online orders. I didn't need one myself but if you really want one, make sure to order in advance.

    The quality of the tea is phenomenal. Particularly enjoy the premium jasmine and champaca teas...so fragrant and vibrant. The tea combo with matcha and salted cheese made the drink just simply delectable! Molly tea is busy but the line moves pretty quickly. the ordering and pick-up process is pretty efficient. Good ambience and great place to sit, chat and enjoy your drinks if you can snag a table/seats.

    Molly Tea is a popular milk tea chain that was established in Shenzhen, China back in 2020. The Sunnyvale location is situated in a tiny strip mall at the corner of El Camino Real and S Fair Oaks Ave in Sunnyvale. I came here with my brother and our friend Darren M. on 08/28/2025 after having dinner nearby. Parking was an absolute pain. It took us a while before a spot open up. We walked in at around 8:15pm and it was BUSY! All the tables were occupied, and there was a line of people waiting to order. The interior was bright, clean, and beautifully decorated. The staff behind the counter were all busy doing their jobs. I spotted at least 20 pink takeout bags on the counter. Ordering was done via a kiosk. There were a lot of uniquely crafted drinks to choose from. I ended up getting a Jasmine Mango Smoothie. With tax, it was $7.55. Due to the volume of business they were doing, it took a while before my order was ready. The wait was well worth it. My drink was made with jasmine green tea, fresh mango, coconut milk, pomelo, and sago. It was simply the best [expletive] drink I have ever had at any milk tea shop. It was creamy and had the perfect sweetness level. The flavor and textural balance were just extraordinary. Darren was thoroughly impressed by his Iced Jasmine Milk Tea. "Wow" was the first word that came out of his mouth. "Damn it's good" followed. My brother ate so much during dinner that he skipped out on getting one. He totally missed out. When we left at around 9:20, the line was even longer than when we walked in. Crazy. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try if you haven't done so already. You can thank me later.

    I have a newfound love for Molly Tea. As an azn, I can't handle anything too sweet and Molly Tea seems to know that so most of their collection is catered to my sweetness level. Mine is the champaca oolong. My cousin got the Camellia Zest. Both were great!! It's too bad there are no locations eastward, beyond the Bay Area or I'd be going pretty regularly. I guess its popularity is why it's always so packed when we go. The line moves fairly quick enough in spite of having 2 ordering kiosks. Staff work quick and have an organized way of keeping track of the orders. HOWEVER, it did take a little more than 10 minutes before my one drink was ready for pick up. We had to wait a while the last time we were there too. Maybe it's the way certain drinks are prepared? Or I think there was a big order before us ‍ Either way it's worth it. And I love the cute little special straw they provide to enjoy the tea. Think of those really skinny coffee straws that have just another (3rd) narrow tube. You can slowly enjoy the delicate flavors of the tea. Lastly, it seems Molly Tea is also expanding its merch collection. When I was there, I did not see those assorted magnets. You can collect them! They have cute designs specifically for your zodiac sign or Myers Briggs , or just famous cities. I kinda prefer magnets over pins. The magnet could be "pinned" onto whatever you want anyway.

    I've had Molly Tea a couple times now and they're a solid and consistent option for floral teas. The drinks all have solid fragrant flavors. The parking lot for this location is quite small, so the most convenient option is to drop someone off to wait in line while the other person finds parking in the nearby neighborhood if the lot is full. Their menu consists of many tea options with the Jasmine Milk Tea being one of their most popular. I also really liked the Pistachio Jasmine Coco! All of their drinks sound pretty good, so I will be coming back to try out the rest of their drinks!

    Good drink choices. Wished they're more transparent in their promotions though. Parking is very limited as it's a corner lot being shared with other stores. My fav is the osmanthous choices they have. And I like that they sealed their cups so I can order lots more without worry about spillage

    Love the jasmine tea flavor in the milk! Quick and easy to order with kiosk menu, clean and spacious interior.

    Matcha White Champaca Salted Cheese, Tongmu Lapsang Bubble Tea
    Apex S.

    HOLY COW! They weren't joking when they called their tea premium. You can taste how good it is from the first sip. Both our drinks stood out for their floral tea taste. We decided to skip the jasmine so that we could try something novel. We got the matcha champaca salted cheese (less ice, 70% sugar) and the tongmu lapsang bubble tea (less ice, 50% sugar). Both were fresh, perfectly sweetened as per our preferences, and crazy good. The hazelnut cheese and the chewy boba in the tongmu lapsang bubble tea were a delightful addition. The premium tea does come at premium price, over $8 per regular sized drink. Ambiance is nice but their tea making can get pretty loud every now and then. Also no wifi!

It makes for a great post-grocery treat after Mega Mart down the street or a post-dinner dessert after Seapot or 10 Butchers. I recommend 50% sweet here for all drinks if not 25% as it leans a tad sweeter than Cupertino in my past 5 or so visits. The Strawberry Milk Tea's been my favorite but the Tie Guan Yin & other TGY variants have been my go-to order for the last year. Delicious, perfect quantity, and great toppings to drink ratio. Never had a bad TP Tea experience here and I haven't had to wait longer than five minutes for my drink at any given time.

    I recently came here for Boba Smoothies and I was shocked how many people were already here as soon…read moreas the shop opened up. We read reviews ahead of time and saw it was recommended to order online and come and pick up andi felt like this was a MUST DO, if you didn't want to be waiting all morning. I came to pick up my drinks about 25 min after opening and their running count for drinks made that day was already nearing 100. We tried the strawberry avocado smoothie and the mango avocado smoothie and both were great! I would recommend getting the mango if you had to choose between the two. We got 30% sugar (recommended) and I would say that was perfect! We added the oat pearls, and they were good. Different than the typical boba. I may prefer the other kind of boba, but my husband liked the oat boba better. I would love if they had both options to choose between and would love a few more non caffeinated options. Those are my two recommendations for change. We will be back!

It's quite different from a typical boba shop, focusing more on fruit-based and creative specialty drinks, with several unique combinations that you don't see very often. This visit, I ordered the Avocado Snow Ice drink, the signature milk tea, and a durian drink. The avocado drink was probably the biggest surprise of the day. It tasted like real avocado rather than artificial flavoring, with a rich and creamy texture. The grains and seeds at the bottom added an interesting layer of texture, making it feel more like a dessert than a drink. The signature milk tea had a noticeable tea flavor and wasn't overly sweet, making it easy to enjoy. As for the durian drink, it delivered exactly what durian lovers would hope for--strong aroma, rich flavor, and a texture similar to a durian milkshake. The packaging also deserves a mention. The designs are distinctive and eye-catching, giving the brand a unique identity and making the drinks great for photos as well. Prices are a bit higher than your average boba shop, but the quality of ingredients and creativity behind the menu make it feel justified. After trying boba and tea shops for years, it's refreshing to find a place that offers something genuinely different. Not every drink will be everyone's favorite, but the menu is memorable enough to make you want to come back and explore more. Overall, a solid first visit, and I'll definitely be back to try some of their other specialties.
