Pekeo's original Man Jose location (S White) has been on my list to go to. But, it wasn't a priority because I wasn't so sure about the *UNCE UNCE UNCE*. With the nightclub vibes (open until midnight) and drinks like "Let's Get High", "Yung Mung-y", and "6lackout", I assumed it would be more for youngins that like hella sweet drinks. You know how them AZN aunties be complaining how everything is "too sweet"? Yea, that's me now. And, it's scary because I sound like my tiger mom. But, I re-read their website/yelp that states: "Pekoe is the only tea bar that allows full drink customization from tea strength, flavor strength, cream level, sweetness, and ice level." Ya had me at customizing tea strength...STRONG please! Plus, their original location on S White is the most reviewed boba shop in the South Bay with close to 2,400 reviews...that's more than Boba Guys' most reviewed location in SF (!!!) so that's promising. This weekend is Pekoe's grand opening for their new Sunnyvale location. **** PROMO **** BOGO FREE Drink on 4/16/22 - 4/17/22. Free raffle prizes for the first 100 customers on 4/16/22 including $1000 cash prize. On 4/16/22, I drove by an 1 hour before opening and saw a ridic line of 70-80 deep. Oh hell no, isn't everyone supposed to be at Coachella?! J/k! Left and tried again today since I was in the area and there was no...line...at...all. M E N U * Milk tea, fruit tea, smoothie, coffee; one size only ($6.25-$7.25). --Toppings: boba, white pearls, coffee jelly, grass jelly, egg pudding, milk pudding, green coconut pudding, mango stars, strawberry hearts, basil seeds, aloe vera, etc. (70 cents each). --Sweetness: None, half, and extra sweet. --Dairy: Vegan non-dairy creamer. --Split cups available for drinks ($7.50). Even though it was advertised as BOGO Free Drinks for both 4/16/22 and 4/17/22, I did NOT receive the promo and ended up paying for both drinks. D R I N K S * Split Cup ($7.50) --1/2 Black Dragon: Roasted Formosa Oolong Tea w/ pekoe milk cream, grass jelly ***Requested *strong* tea flavor and half sweet. --1/2 Let's Get High: Dark High Mountain Oolong Milk Tea w/ coffee jelly, grass jelly ***Requested no coffee jelly, *strong* tea flavor, and half sweet. Wasn't a fan of either - both oolong teas were hella bitter and astringent, like over-steeped black tea. Wish there were dairy options like milk, half & half, or oat milk option because I'm not a fan of the aftertaste from non-dairy creamers. * Pretty in Pink: Premium jasmine milk tea infused with strawberry, strawberry hearts, honey black pearls ($6.25) ***Requested *strong* tea flavor and no toppings. Not my drink but I had a sip. It tasted like artificial strawberry milk. Not overly sweet for half sweet but didn't taste much of any tea for *strong* tea. S E R V I C E Super friendly and prompt. No line and received our drinks in less than 5 minutes after ordering. A M B I A N C E Nightclub vibes with hot pink coaches and a massive flat screen TV. P A R K I N G Easy parking in the plaza. Overall, with the very stiff competition in the South Bay (current fav and go-to: Sunright), I found Pekoe's milk teas to be underwhelming. Seems like a cool and trendy place to chill at night though! read more

Pekoe - Pretty in Pink: Jasmine MT infused w/ strawberry ($6.25) & 1/2 Black Dragon: Roasted Oolong MT+1/2 Let's Get High: Dark Oolong MT ($7.50) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

3.5 stars overall. The staff are very friendly! Lots of parking in the plaza and plenty of seating inside the store. There's a HUGE screen that displays EDM music videos and lots of unique furniture inside... Definitely gives the place a lounge/club vibe. PRO TIP: Ask for less/no ice! They put a ton of ice in those cups... Also, ask for less sweet! 50% is usually a safe bet, but go for 25% if you really don't want to get a cavity from here. Their drinks are SWEEEEET. KEEP IN MIND: the paper menu on the counter does not have all of the drinks that they display on the TV menus... Maybe take a look at their website to see the full menu? Drinks I have tried: + Pretty in Pink: Their classic and most popular drink! The milk tea is sweet and has a subtle tea flavor. The boba is SO GOOD and sweetened well, so I recommend getting 50% or 25% sugar. This also comes with strawberry jellies, but no heart-shaped ones??? + Brass Monkey: This was just okay. Watered down milk tea and the grass jelly isn't very sweet or herbal tasting. The banana flavor was decent, but I wouldn't recommend it. + Thai Tea Whities: This drink beat my expectations! Very fragrant thai tea flavor (a slight matcha flavor?) with a fluffy thick crema on top! Too good to be true. Not to mention, the milk pudding is INCREDIBLE! Milky, not too sweet, and the perfect texture. I would definitely recommend this drink to anyone. + Kawaii: OH MY GOD. This drink is way too sweet. Literal sugar overload! Definitely get this drink 25% sweetness... maybe 0% sweet... The tea in this drink is very subtle, so only order this if you love artificial fruity drinks and don't care for the tea flavor. read more

Came here twice during my stay in Sunnyvale. Being a person from the southeast US, I think my opinion is biased, so be warned. Drinks are way overpriced. I came with my boyfriend and bought 2 drinks and it came out to $15 without tip?? Foxy Brown: Ordered with 50% ice, 50% sugar. Sugar level was still really sweet to me, but when I asked for 25%, they said they could either only do 0, 50, or 100%. So I just went with 50%. Flavor was ok, nothing special, just your normal everyday brown sugar boba. The pearls were soft, but not in a good way. The outside of the pearls felt like a film that sorta peeled off in my mouth, leaving me with an unsatisfactory residue after swallowing. When I finished the drink, I realized the cup was literally filled halfway with ice. Wasn't aware that 50% meant half of the cup... Sugarcoat: Ordered with no ice, 50% sugar. Similar taste as Foxy Brown, but a little milkier. I really liked the texture of the creme brulee top. Some caramelized pieces came up through the straw and enhanced my drinking experience. Pearl texture was exactly the same as in the Foxy Brown, which disappointed me again, but at least the sugar crystals helped me enjoy the experience more. This drink didn't seem too sweet to me, either. This gets a better rating than the Foxy Brown. Vibes of the interior are crazy good though. I came in at around 10pm and was absolutely shook by the decor. The tables were literally glowing with some sort of internal LEDs that cycled through a gradient of colors. There's a giant projector/monitor on one wall that played music videos. The other wall had a row of mini digital fireplaces. Interior was dark to emphasize the brightness of the screens and tables. Had a nightclub sorta feel, and I'm here for it. Unfortunately, I don't believe in going to a boba place just for the decor. The boba is mediocre, and the next time I come back to Sunnyvale, I'm passing up this place for something else. Unless one of my friends is adamant about coming here, then I'll tag along for kicks. read more

OMG they are finally open! This is my favorite boba joint and it's soooo close. Easy parking in their lot. Woot! It was empty when we arrived after lunch. We were the only ones there. But after we ordered there was a steady stream of clients who came in. It's so pretty inside. Everything is decked out in pink and white. So nice and clean. They have a huge big screen tv playing music videos. We ordered: Pretty in pink: 4/5 the tea was really good but the toppings were a little hard and I wasn't really into the taste of the strawberry hearts. Manly melons: 5/5 really really really yummy! Zero percent it was a good amount of sweetness. The toppings were good. I highly recommend this one. Yay for Pekoe!!! read more

Wow another top boba shop to add to the growing list in Mountain View/Sunnyvale. Compared to the other locations, this one felt much cleaner but just as "hip" as the other ones minus the large crowd (but that might change soon once more of the younger crowd gets wind of it). ((But also might be because I went on a Monday night.)) I got the Pretty in Pink drink with less ice and half sweetness. I'm not one to drink a very sweet drink but I do like some sugar, so 50% sweetness was perfect. A lot of other places that do 50% are always just below the sweetness that I prefer. The boba didn't taste sweetened, but the drink and strawberry jelly were just the right amount. So glad to have Pekoe closer to where we live, we'll be back soon read more

First time here. Got 2 drinks- Pretty in Pink (no ice half sweet) and Foxy Brown (no ice half sweet). Service was nice and helpful. Ambiance was kinda dark. Because of their window coloring, it looked really dark from outside and they had most lights turned off (this was about 10:20pm) and we almost thought they were closed. They were showing some videos on a big screen. Anyway, drinks were so-so. If you Really Had to Have Boba at 10pm on a weeknight, this is one of the few places you could go. Flavors of both drinks were fakey tasting. Like they used a premixed powder or syrup for the main flavors. Not a fan of these types of flavors. Glad we got half sweet. read more

I was so excited to see a Pekoe open closer to me! The interior is so cute and there's a big projector for music, pink couches, and these color changing seats. The vibe going on definitely makes getting drinks at Pekoe more of an experience. We got Foxy Brown, Manly Melons (my two go to drinks at Pekoe), and the Taro Smoothie; the quality of their drinks is also consistent with the San Jose locations. I will be back here for sure! The only downside is the four drinks we got costed $27 :( boba inflation is real read more

Pekoe - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

My drink was very mediocre and wasn't worth the price. The boba was hard and the drink was too sweet.

The inside of the shop is pretty nice! I'm happy they opened up across the street from my favorite billiards spot. It was nice of Pekoe to offer the BOGO sale and complimentary cookies for their grand opening! The workers are always nice (all locations) and very informative, so I've never had a problem with their services. Their drinks do run more on the sweet side (because you are what you drink... sweet) (⁄ ⁄*⁄⁄*⁄ ⁄). I recommend 50% sweetness because I've gained like 5 lbs drinking Pekoe all the time. If you drive a lowered car, it's easier to angle from the first entrance and leave the same way lol. You won't have trouble finding parking because there's plenty of space in the plaza and most of the stores aren't that busy. read more

Pink couch and cute white bubble seats...Gives a modern and trendy vibe to this place! Tried the Black Dragon which is basically Roasted oolong tea with grass jelly but they allowed me to swap the grass jelly with lychee jelly without additional cost. Pretty decent but could have been less strong. Love their split cup concept if you want to try multiple versions. Service was fast and friendly. read more

I got the pretty in pink drink as it's their most popular drink but was honestly pretty disappointed. The strawberry flavor tasted very artificial to me and didn't taste fresh at all. I did appreciate the boba to drink ratio. The strawberry jelly was hard to drink because the pieces were bigger than the straw and some of the boba pieces were not chewy at all. I can usually finish my milk tea drinks quickly but because of the taste I really could not finish this one. I also asked for half sweetness and it was still very sweet. Service was pretty fast so that was good. Was excited to come back to Pekoe after a while but was a little disappointed with my experience. read more

Pekoe - Pretty in Pinkpretty - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

There are boba and tea places popping up all over the place. Definitely not a shortage of them, but Pekoe stands out because of its decor and night club/bar feel. Located in a strip mall with different business that typically close around 6pm, Pekoe is the lone business that opens late! When I was driving on El Camino at night, I thought a night club had opened near my Nothing Bundt Cakes. Bright lights and signage really stuck out. Inside you'll find vibrant hip decor and large screen TVs. Can order ahead from their website. Great selection of tea and smoothies. If you can't decide what you want, certain teas are available split cup! Check it out. I've had the mk twist (mango and kumquat with mango stars) and Mario Luiychee (lychee with lychee bits). There are other pekoe locations in the Bay Area, and just glad this one is close to me! Cheers and boba on friends! read more

The notion of a late night bubble tea bar was a little confusing at first, but I quite like it. The staff are cheery, the vibes are good (although the floor was a little sticky with spilt drinks), the decor suitably tacky, and the drinks not too expensive. We drank a fruity tea and it was rather nice, with tasty pearls and not too sweet. Wasn't expecting to find this in Sunnyvale. read more

pekoe is known for their interesting flavor combinations especially on the fruity side. unfortunately, i was disappointed and did not finish my drink - which is quite rare for me. i got the foxy brown through doordash which is a assam black milk tea with boba. i requested 0% sweet or as little sweet as possible. the first issue is that they forgot the boba, which could've been just a mistake. the milk tea itself though didn't taste like anything - just very watered down black tea and not milky/creamy at all. i tried putting some of my own sugar in and it didn't help at all. the other fruit drinks may be better but i know pekoe usually runs really sweet. read more

Girl (Nimu) working was rude and on her phone when trying to order. I've been to other locations with better service. I would suggest going to their other locations. Updating to one star: because she never called our number and hid our drinks in the corner. read more

Anytime I step into any Pekoe location, I always feel so old compared to the other patrons that come in, lol. Anyways, regardless of any location I've visited, I love that their drinks and recipes are pretty consistent in preparation and taste! Highly recommend the Pretty in Pink for folks who love strawberry milk or Angela for fellow wintermelon fanatics! Drinks are pretty affordable for the quality given and come out relatively fast despite the heavy foot traffic on weekends. Pro Tip: Would recommend ordering online to avoid the lines on weekends! :p read more

I love Pekoe. I love the vibes here. Great place to hangout with friends late night to just talk and catch up. However, they don't have board games. Most importantly, I love how they're open until midnight and the drinks come out fast. Like to the point that I just placed the order and not even 30 seconds later, my order is ready. Makes me wonder if the drinks are pre-made. I always get the foxy brown and it taste the same every single time. Boba consistency is great. It's chewy and not hard. It's great business that they open late because I crave boba late after all the other boba places are closed so this is my only option. Aint mad about it though because it's a solid and good boba place. If you go in the evening (8pm or later) parking is never an issue. It's a parking lot with shared businesses but whenever I go almost all of the other shops are already closed. read more

This Pekoe is located in a quieter and smaller plaza. There is shared parking here as well. This location is not as busy as their other locations - it seems a bit easier to hang out here, instead of the other ones that were darker and louder. Service is eh - the employees working were pretty impatient. I tried their Manly Melons and Let That ManGo Smoothie. The Manly Melons is a jasmine green tea with lychee, mango, strawberry, and watermelon. I got it with boba instead of the toppings included, which was aloe vera and white agar pearls. The Let That ManGo Smoothie is a mango blend with boba. The fruit tea was decent - it tasted refreshing, but the mango smoothie was a bit sour/tart and it was not as sweet or refreshing. read more

I like the vibe. First time in here. it's fun how they have split cups and you are able to mix and match boba. We ordered a bunch so I do not recall all of the flavorings or I am just getting old can't remember nowadays but on the other hand These 4 flavors I did remember which was the Pekoe Special and Thai - Tea Whitties. Yung Mung-Y and Pretty in Pink very unique taste with bunch of toppings. 5/5 Employee was really patience with me while I stare at menu while getting confused and waiting patiently so I appreciated that. I must comeback until I see you all again! read more

My kids love getting Pekoe because they love the half/half combo cup, which they call "Friendship Cups" because they share it. I love the half/half combo cup because it's less sugar for the kids and less expensive. An improvement that could be made is that there is often inappropriate content playing on their many huge screens. I wish they would put on something that was okay for everyone. read more

Great ambiance, the service was quick. The food looked great. The split cups make life easier! Not sure what to go with? Get two flavors! read more

Pekoe - Matcha Man - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

This place seem to be bustling, around after hours. A lot of young customers and middle age ones as well. They have a variety of drinks which I had the pleasure of trying the Fuzy Brown, very cute names for drinks. Place is 10/10, Drinks 9/10, Fast service 10/10, cleanliness 8/10, Greetings when you enter 7/10. I give it 4 stars because it's really hard to find a 10/10 place and you have to be equipped on top of the 5 things I think every place should display. However this place is great already but can be really amazing. It has potential to be a 10/10 place. I look forward to try other drinks here but when it's not so crazy. Thank you for having a nice boba shop close to the restaurants. Thanks for reading my review. read more

Placed a pickup order and online it said it'll be ready ASAP! I love super close, so when places mean ASAP it is usually less than 10/15mins. As soon as I got here I was greeted by a very sweet individual with gorgeous hair! Told them my name and they gave me my order right away! I got two split cups and made specific details in the notes and they followed it correctly! Also the drinks taste amazing! Pekoe is my main go to for milk teas! read more

Pekoe - Split cup - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

It was my first time getting Pekoe, and the first thing that stood out was how clubby the interior is. Loud music with lots of lights flashing. Honestly a pretty big deterrent for me, as it would not be a place that I would personally want to hang out with a friend over boba with. I got the Gold Mine, and it was generally good. The tea flavor was a little diluted, but quite creamy. However, there was a very strange fruity taste to the drink, even though my drink contained no fruit components. I generally avoid fruit milk teas, so this was off putting. The pearls were quite soft at first, but firmed to a texture that I quite enjoyed. Definitely a lot of ice like other reviewers have pointed out, even though I asked for less ice. The drink is also quite large; I wish they had more size options, because I would have definitely downsized from even the smallest size. Probably won't be back considering the vast array of options nearby! read more

Pekoe - Gold Mine - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Usual spot for boba. Love their Pretty in Pink (No ice, 25% sweet, lychee jelly). Have tried their Foxy brown - 3/5 and Manly melons - 2/5 ( did not like the jasmine flavor in this one). Service is fast and place is good for a sit down too. read more

I love that they have cups that can fit 2 different drinks! O R D E R E D - Just dew It - Mario and Lui-chee V E R D I C T Both drinks were super tasty. It was a hot day so obviously I wanted something refreshing, but also love a good milky drink, so thats why I got both. A reminder that if you choose to order the cup that fits both drinks, like I did, it does not work for their slushie drinks. It only works for their milk tea drinks and their fruit tea drinks, which is perfectly fine! I love how all of their drinks have creative names but I will stick with my mario and lui-chee because it was so good, I came back a few days later and got another one, in the regular cup. Only down side, personally, is that they used crushed ice so everytime you take a sip, you get ice also, but thats a matter of preference as each customer is different. read more

Tip: Next time you have a raffle at grand opening, you should probably have someone regulating the line. I was in line since 8:30AM and I've seen at least 20-30 people cut in front of me to join their friends. One friend group even bringing in 6+ people in with them late, with one friend literally joining the line at 10AM. Or even just hand out raffle tickets at like 9AM so you can count who the first real 100 are. Hell, I volunteer myself to do that for you lol. As for the drinks, I've been to Pekoe many times before. I only live 5 minutes away from the Berryessa location. Some usual go-to's are White Winter, Angela, Pekoe Special, Melrose, Pretty in Pink. Their drinks tend to be on the sweeter side so I almost always grab less sweet. read more

Although it was late Sunday evening, some tables were already occupied. One wall is filled with a huge screen playing K-pop music videos, with seating on both sides of the cafe. We ordered the Cuppa Vo (Vietnamese Coffee normally with Custard, but they ran out of custard) and Split Cup with Pretty In Pink and Kawaii. Cuppa Vo was really strong, and Kawaii would have been better if it was less sweet (I forgot to ask if they could adjust the sugar level). My favorite was Pretty In Pink, which tasted like strawberry milk. Prices are standard for boba shops in the Bay Area, as was their service. read more

I visited Pekoe recently and I enjoyed my drink. I ordered ahead and picking up the drink was easy. I loved the split cup option. It's nice to be able to have two drinks available at once. I got the Black Dragon and the Thai Tea Whities. The Black Dragon was a little too strong and coffee like to me. The Thai Tea Whities was delicious and I liked the milk pudding. I will get less ice next time since it was a little too much ice for me. Parking is okay and the ambience is fun. I enjoyed my visit here and will be back. It's a good addition to the Sunnyvale Boba Scene. read more

First and foremost, let me just start off by saying WOW! I have never been to a boba tea lounge before! I honestly have never even seen a boba tea place like this. The layout of the place had me shook! It was so cute inside! So, I waited about 2 hours in line for their grand opening. I ordered a Pretty in Pink milk tea and a yellow mango fruit tea. I wanted to give myself a chance to try one of each. The pretty in pink was so good. It was a strawberry milk tea and it had boba and strawberry jellies inside. I ordered it half sweet and it had a great taste! The boba wasn't mushy or too sweet like other places too! The yellow mango was good AF. When I took my first sip I felt like i was biting into a mango! I also ordered that half sweet and it came with mango jellies inside which had the perfect chewy bite! Also, shoutout to the cashier! I didn't catch his name but thank you for your awesome customer service and being so patient with my indecisive self! You're drink recommendations were *chefs kiss*! So basically, Was it worth the wait? Was it worth the hype? Yaaaaaaaaas! I honestly am not a fan of milk tea but Pekoe has deff changed my mind. I will deff be returning soon. I'm excited to see how the vibe is in this place once the sun goes down. I can officially say, I am now a boba milk tea lover read more

Came across this cute spot while driving on El Camino. Inside the shop is very nicely decorated. Gives off a young and hip vibe. I loved all the names for the drinks (huge pun fan). I also really like that they give you the option to split the cup into two drinks to try. I got yellow mango (without the mango stars) and jolly rancher with green apple jelly. Very sweet, I am wondering if we can adjust sweetness level. I'll have to ask the next time I go. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience! read more

I'd be here all the time if it wasn't for the less than satisfying boba amount. 3 stars for lack of boba but tasty drinks. read more

A dessert tea drink love child. When the Taiwanese bubble tea and the Vietnamese che have a baby, you get Pekoe, a Taiwanese-Vietnamese mutt drink.

Boba gets zero stars. This location seems to disappoint each time I try it. The boba is hard and old. I wouldn't waste my time or $ here.

So many good menu options! It's hard to choose a favorite! Coconutty is wayyy good. The "Go Nuts", "Honey dew u luv me", and "Kawaii" are all awesome too. They do split teas here so if you really can't decide because of all the tasty options - you can split your cup, giving each of the flavors half of your cup! read more
