i really love super peach and oro tornado here ,I get 2 drink only 50% sweet, perfect sweetness. The staff was very quick and provided excellent customer service. I will be coming back next time I visit valleyfair! read more

Tried Pink Pink and got their Taro Tornado after seeing it pop up a few times. The drink looked great visually, but the taste was a bit underwhelming. The taro flavor was mild and leaned more sweet than rich or earthy. I was hoping for a stronger, more natural taro taste, but it felt somewhat diluted once everything was mixed together. Texture wise, it was okay, though the "tornado" swirl didn't really add much beyond presentation. Service was fine and the shop itself is clean and cute, which makes it a decent spot to stop by if you're already in the area. Overall, not bad, but not memorable either. I might try a different drink next time, but the Taro Tornado alone wouldn't bring me back. read more

Pink Pink Tea Shoppe - Taro Tornado - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Mateo, California

Came here on a weekend morning and the place had a bit of a line, but otherwise service was solid. We didn't get a drink and shared a little pudding which honestly was very delicious - not bad in portion size and you can keep the glass! They actually encourage it a bit as well which is nice to keep trash down. Price was a little high, but it was a solid sweet treat and super tasty - would recommend! read more

Sis and I were in search of a sweet treat when she suggested Pink Pink. First time for me. Ordered the Strawberry Peach which was quite enjoyable - not too sweet and the peach flavor really comes through. Also, had to give their Pinko-nut (coconut puddings) a try. Ordered a Mango Mochi & Coconut one for me and a Taro Ube Milk & Coconut one for the kiddo. The mochi on top of the pudding was definitely different; gave it a unique texture. I liked the flavors. Kiddo must've liked his too since he just ate it up and didn't even share. read more

Pinkalicious! Refreshing drinks fitting into the theme of PINK and dare I say, some resemblance to the Korean pop group bearing its moniker in their name. Pink Pink Tea Shoppe seems to focus on a lot of peach flavored drinks but on our visit for a quick grab and go, we got a bag (that also had a built in drink holder) of three drinks including a bubble milk tea that had a rich tea taste and chewy boba. We didn't partake in the cheese top drinks as we aren't huge fans of the trend but they also seem to have a few options on their menu for those seeking it out. Pricing was comparable to other shops and value was pretty industry standard. Service was quick and efficient, not much to boast about but it was respectable. Overall, if you're a fan of peach and anything pink, this tea shop is your jam and will certainly satisfy those cravings with refreshing milk teas. Besides peach, I didn't find Pink Pink to stand out too much in the other drinks and although delicious, I thought it was pretty cookie cutter. With a well populated field of milk tea cafes, it's tough to get ahead of the pack but they've definitely found their niche with the plump, pink fruit. Having simple, eye popping marketing helps too! read more

I finally tried Pink Pink! Lol... I was at the mall with my sister since we watched Freakier Friday at Cinepolis so then afterwards we walked around the mall. We stopped by Pink Pink to get some boba! I never tried Pink Pink before, but I always pass by it whenever I'm at ValleyFair. I got the Pink Peach drink while my sister got a Mango Tea, I think. I love the Pink Peach drink. It's like drinking a yummy peach candy. Lol.. I'm a fan! I definitely will hit up Pink Pink as one of my boba places rotation now. :) read more

Stopped by on Monday, 09/01/25 (Labor Day Holiday). Located at the Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo, CA. my sister ordered the following for us (and sharing with our mom too!): - 1 peach dream soft serve = 6.99 - 1 strawberry matcha latte = $6.50 The wait time was a bit long - lots of customers yet few employees making drinks, taking orders, etc. We probably waiting around 15-20 minutes. The soft serve was okay. read more

I waited over 15 minutes for a Cotton Candy Ice Cream, having to follow up three times. My order was forgotten at first, then delayed with excuses about the machine, and when I asked to cancel politely, the staff dismissed me with, "It hasn't even been that long." The ice cream was finally rushed out in minutes but poorly made, sliding off the cone as it was handed over. I understand they were short-staffed, but the lack of care and customer empathy was disappointing. Plus the drinks and ice creams are not very fresh! Scaled too fast, quality down! read more

This is a very popular mall store. I finally got the chance to try their Strawberry Matcha Latte. Overall, it was just okay. Perhaps I am not a "cultured" to tell what is good or not. However, I prefer the SMLs at Boba Guys and Boba Drive. The staff there is friendly and helpful, however. It is a walk up front so there is no seating available. read more

Pink Pink Tea Shoppe is my current favorite boba shop, as someone who lives in this area. I live next to over 20 different boba shops within a 10 minute drive, and this is the one after trying them all. It's a little sad considering they're a small bay boba chain that exists only in malls at the moment, but I don't mind since I'm pretty sure their first location was at Westfield Valley Fair and they are a woman-owned business, so I'm all for supporting local Chinese women! They even now have a location in Vegas, so they got me when I travel! This location at the Hillsdale mall is located on the 2nd floor, a little walk away from the food court and across the Uniqlo. What separates them from other tea shops in the area? Consistency, aesthetics, and taste. Pink Pink has a commitment to using organic and fresh ingredients, and it shows in their drinks. It's good when menu options are limited as specialization tends to make things taste better, but I do wish there were just a couple more options. I get a sense sometimes that their products are geared towards mall crowds, which tends to be families with children. This brings in the creamier and sweeter drinks along with the slushes - not bad, just not my preference. My favorite drinks from Pink Pink are the fruit teas. The generous fruit purees always taste fresh, and they make seasonal menu changes from time to time. I tend to like anything with peach, grapefruit, and strawberry. I like how you can get their fruit teas in tea slush form as well, but it does quell the fresh fruit essence as well as make it harder to drink. I do have gripes with the pink peach, and that is with how weak the oolong strength is (I assume they use peach oolong) and that it tastes like artificial Sanrio peach gum. Their green tea is much better for tea strength. The milk teas are solid, though I prefer other places for milk tea. The new limonada slushes are tasty and pretty looking frozen lemonades. The tornados taste like extra creamy drinks. I do not recommend their matcha drinks because I did not like the quality or strength of it, and it was a bit dull and chalky. Their cheesefo is popular, but not my preference; only get it if you like having cream cheese whip on top of your drinks. The cream tastes a lot better when it's mixed in the drink, such as the strawberry peach, opposed to being a layer on top. Their boba consistency is typically good with a strong chew -sometimes it's a little harder than I'd like, but it's never been bad. The agar boba is lumpy. The ice cream (soft serve) is alright - maybe a bit subtle. The Hokkaido vanilla tastes like an airy whipped cream, while the peach dream is a sherbet that tastes like Sanrio gum. The cones don't have too much flavor, but they're light and crispy. I actually really like their PINKO-NUT because it's cheaper than a local competitor in a greater serving size. The taste is also just as good - it's a delicious and refreshing coconut pudding with various toppings. I would recommend their original milk & coconut flavor or the mango mochi & coconut. So if you're wondering whether to go to Sharetea or Pink Pink Tea Shoppe, I'd go Pink Pink all the way. You just need to order the right thing, which can be different based on your taste preferences. They state that they use less sugar than normal, but it's all the same to me - I get 25% sweet anyways. They have a loyalty program if you order using your phone number, but you need Cash App to track it. read more

Cute, pretty little spot in the mall, and easily missed since it's not attached to the food court, but overall, tasty. They have little jars of pudding, soft serve options and drinks - the menu is not as prolific as most other bbt places but the quality was good and service was far faster than the other bbt place at the food court. If you want more selection you may need to go to the other place, but if you want to grab a treat mid-mall, this is a nice option. read more

Their drinks are actually really good - I had the Soft Top Grape & would get it again. Though the drink was good, I'm docking 2 stars because of their customer service. I was there with my family on a Wednesday afternoon. Other than my family, they had one more customer. After 10 mins, which is longer than usual, I went to the cashier to check on our order. The response I received was "Did they call your name?", I responded with a no (which is why I'm checking on it), then she proceeds with "then it's not ready". She did not move a foot from where she stood, didn't even look behind to check what the progress is, just a simple "if they didn't call your name, it's not ready", no other help could be provided. read more

Stopped by a cute milk tea store right inside the mall after playing at the VR store. The male cashier was very friendly and super funny. The shop is super cute as well and line wasn't too long. Hits: * Strawberry Peach was super delicious! I love fruity drinks and I love how very well blended the strawberry and peach was. I also really liked the fruit chunks. * Oreo Brûlée Dream was tasty if you're in the mood for an Oreo drink. It's good to try! Final Verdict: Solid 4/5. The shop was very cute and the worker was super friendly and made us laugh. He handed us our drinks and we were satisfied with what we ordered. I will definitely order the Strawberry Peach again if I'm ever in the area! read more

I've tried pinkpink 2-3x before from various locations, trying to give it multiple chances but I've been disappointed yet again :/ I was craving something fruity/refreshing and thought that nothing could go wrong with a mango green tea. Like it's a mango green tea no way you can mess that up... I got the drink with 75/80% sweetness because the previous time I've gotten a fruit drink at the normal 100% sweetness, it was wayyy too sweet. I'm someone with a sweet tooth and the sweetness before felt like I was drinking purely sugar with a hint of fruit flavors. This time the drink tasted like water with just hints of mango. I was aware there were mango chunks in the drink but it felt like I was drinking 75% of that and 25% of the tea.. I'm not sure what went wrong during the process of making this classic drink but it has confirmed that pink pink tea shoppe isn't for me. My friend got the strawberry matcha latte and she too said it was very disappointing :/ There wasn't too much flavor and only the taste of strawberry chunks. read more

Uhhh yum!!!!!!!! Can't believe I didn't try this place sooner. Probably the best dessert spot in Hillsdale mail. It's not as accessible since it's in the middle of the mall on the 2nd floor, but I've tried the boba, pudding and frozen yogurt and they're all very tasty! This is the 2nd boba place at the mall but very good in comparison and has other options for both kids and adults. There's usually a short line and so the wait isn't too long. There's no seating as it's a take away spot, but you can find a seat in the mall or sit in the dining area. read more

Ordered the mango pudding, tastes just okay. But it gave me stomach ache immediately afterwards and it's the only thing I ate. I am not lactose intolerant and not allergic to anything. What would you even do in this situation? To shy to ask the shop's employee or management. read more

First time trying Pink Pink Tea Shoppe in San Mateo! I went in a Sunday afternoon. There was a minimal line and I was able to order off the mobile kiosk. The wait took about 10 minutes for my drink. Everything came as expected. I'd go again. read more

A cute and bright pink shop that catched my eye while walking through the mall. I haven't been to Hillsdale in so long so this caught me by surprise. Service was quick into order from a kiosk and there's so many different drinks to chose from. I ordered their Pink Peach and it was freaking, peachy, and creamy. I would come back again to try their other drinks! read more

Ordered a mango drink and mango pudding. Except my mango pudding had a bug in it and staff were really rude from the start, had attitude of unwillingness to resolve the issue. Then claimed that the bug was mango seed which I could clearly see it curled up with little legs. Thankfully I was able to get a refund, but needs better customer service and attitude. Horrible service wouldn't come back. read more

I got the Brown Sugar Boba Milk and thought it was pretty good. I usually get it extra sweet but there was an additional charge of $1.25 for it. But even without the extra sweetness I thought it tasted great. The service was also good. The guy behind the counter was offering to answer questions and the ambiance was cute for a mall boba shop. The look of it was very cute (which is clear in the photo ) read more

The drinks here are good, but the Pinko-Nuts are sooo yummy I keep coming back. My go-to drinks are the Cheesefo Matcha Latte and the Black Pink Boba Milk Tea. But my favorite part about this place are the coconut puddings! I especially love the Strawberry Milk & Coconut and the Mango Mochi & Coconut. Both have a layer of fruit puree which adds that fresh sweet flavor. Definitely a must try! read more

Super cute dessert shop on the 2nd floor of the Hillsdale Mall that is in fact, very pink as the name alludes to. I decided to order the Mango Mochi & Coconut pudding ($10.99) since it sounded interesting. +Comes in a cute reusable mason jar +Not too sweet or heavy -Slightly hard to scoop: The top layer is mochi mixed w/milk pudding, so it springs back when you try to scoop it. *Verdict: Fun dessert with a variety of textures and flavors that's large enough to share. read more

Found this place by accident with some friends while walking around the mall area. While I was tempted to try out the boba, the counter had a picture of ice cream with cotton candy surrounding the top. I knew immediately that I needed to try this out because aesthetically it looked beautiful. After ordering through the kiosk, the workers quickly handed over my ice cream cone within a few minutes. The ice cream was sweet, smooth, creamy, and nicely blended. The cotton candy was as good as it gets, so overall you're eating ice cream with cotton candy on the side. This location is quite far from where I live, but if I'm ever in the area I would want to try out the boba and maybe the Hokkaido milk ice cream. If you're ever in the area it's worth checking out since there are a lot of stores to visit while walking around. read more

Came here completely by accident. Took me 45mts to find it walking in circles around this indoor outdoor mall. Plenty of parking and had to walk through a random shop to enter the mall and then just walked until I finally found it. Didn't see any maps or legends or information kiosks. I literally was giving up and starting to walk back to my car and looked up and found it. Not sure what's allowed but better signage from both directions would be wonderful. There was a lot of signage from the direction I hadn't been in. Staff was friendly enough but more worried about chatting with their friends that came up rather than helping customers. Menus small but they make drinks to your liking. The highlight was the cotton candy, had not had one in eons and it really brought me back. Need a recyclable paper bag option though so you can set it down while driving. I had to scarf it instead so that I could drive safely... kind of killed the vibes of nostalgia. read more

I had seen Pink Pink Tea Shoppe in various places but never tried their products before. I recently heard their peach soft serve was really good and wanted to try it myself. They were really busy over the weekend at Hillsdale. I was able to order up front at on one of their two kiosks and opted for the peach and Hokkaido milk soft serve mix (about $6). I was pleasantly surprised at how rich and flavorful the soft serve was. It was perfectly sweet and you could really taste peach flavor as well as the creamy milk. I liked the option to get both flavors mixed together opposed to just picking one. Definitely would get this again as a refreshing treat! read more

Ive been wanting to try this for a very long time. It happened to come across one. Very cute shop. I love all the pink decor. I opt for a Matcha drink with Brulé however, both the matcha and brulee were pretty mid in flavor. The flavor profile didn't really come through for me. I also got it less sweetened so there wasn't much of a taste at all to be honest. It was also very pricey, in my opinion for what it was. Overall I think the 3 of us all agreed that the drinks were very mid. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to get boba here. I do like their pink decor and vibes it's definitely cute! They also offer coconut pudding and ice cream. This is located on the second floor close to Macy's next to Aveda. read more

While shopping at Hillsdale, I stopped here to get a refreshing drink. It's just a small little shop, easy to walk past. You can order at the counter or at the kiosk--either way works, your order comes out quickly. My first time here I got their signature drink and it seemed a bit lackluster and tasted "meh"--there could have contributing factors, still too new & close to the mall closing time. Fast forward to this visit and I was quite surprised at how delicious it tasted. I got the Thai Tornado with reduced sweetness and it was super yummy. The presentation was amazing with its layering--very tornado-like. I'm glad this shop is here, as another option and it's not near the food terrace either. I would definitely come back. read more

First time here. I like the decor and the drinks taste decent. The issue I have and the 3-stars is the straw they use. It is not plastic, it's some compostable material. So when you go and poke the drink, like you normally would because the drink cups are sealed by the plastic wrap on top, it doesn't work. The straw just bends like wet paper. I poked it with the straw and it bended, so I tried again because I want to drink my boba. The milk tea splattered all over me and my car. read more

Today was a fruity boba kind of day. I got the pink peach, mango mochi pudding, and peach with milk soft serve. Pink Peach - I like my drinks regular sweetness (100%), but their regular is way too sweet. It was also their recommended sweetness level. The drink is really good so if you adjust it to 50% or so, it'll be amazing. Peach & Milk Soft Serve - Melted almost instantly...flavor was rich but too sweet. Mango Mochi Pudding - They're really generous with the mango puree, however, it's too sweet. The mochi and coconut pudding was just right and delicious! You can order from the kiosk instead. Service was meh. read more

Cute new boba shop in Hillsdale Mall. Maybe there is finally some competition to the Sharetea here! I tried their regular black milk tea with boba and thought it was okay. My spouse thought the drink tasted too chocolate-like for him which is interesting. I did feel like the tea tasted a little chalky but it was mostly palatable. I didn't really like the agar boba they used though - the boba is very lumpy and I like my boba to be smooth round balls haha. I don't recall seeing another boba option though. This place seems to specialize in fruit drinks though so I might try one of those next time to see if those are better. read more

Glad they are opening more locations! You can find Pink Pink in San Francisco and San Jose so I'm glad they are now also in San Mateo. This location is small inside the mall on the second floor but delivers on the same amazing products. As the name suggests, Pink Pink brings playful and colorful characteristic to its drinks full of joy. The creative combinations are both visually pleasing with their mix of bright colors, as well as, burst full of flavors. The emphasis on the aesthetics doesn't mean they forgot about the high quality tea, fresh fruits, and unique combos. More natural flavors and less sweeteners. The colorful and playful nature is also reflected in the aesthetics of the shop. The vibe is relaxed and cheerful. The staff is also always smiling and very friendly. Overall, if you're looking for delicious and fun quality bubble tea, Pink Pink is your spot! read more

My daughter is a big fan of Tong Sui. Pink pink is very similar Think I find their selection is bigger. Had the strawberry cheesefo with half sugar. Very good!

Hillsdale was in need of a good boba shop, and it's been a long time coming. I visited on a Tuesday afternoon and there was no line -- just one other person in line. I ordered the Strawberry green tea with regular sugar. I was surprised to see that they used fresh strawberries instead of the packaged ones. The worker was cutting and smashing the strawberries right in front of me. The drink came out quickly. The drink was very refreshing and tasted delicious. For 100% sweetness, it was perfect. I would definitely come back to try out their other drinks and saw they even have desserts. read more

Not sure about the lines and hype surrounding this place. Coconut pudding, which is the only thing I bought was very meh. Especially when you compare it to Tong Sui a couple miles away.

My Coconut pudding tasted very powder made with a weird artificial coconut aftertaste to it. read more

I really enjoyed the Cheesfo Mango drink which was like a milky mango slush and had some saltiness from the cheese foam. The Thai Tea Tornado however, is just a Thai tea despite the photo looking like it might be special with the white ribbons on the side. It was very milky and the Thai tea flavor is bit light. The colors and decor of Pink Pink really stand out within Hillsdale Mall and is pretty unique compared to other shops in the mall. I look forward to trying other drinks and menu items! read more

Husband purchased a super peach slushy this evening for me along with a second drink for himself . I had only consumed 2/3rd the beverage before I started having stomach pains. I immediately needed to use a restroom and recognized it as possibly food poisoning. I ran to the Macys downstairs to find a restroom and upon sitting down, experienced the onset of explosive watery diarrhea. I thought it was all over but had a second episode immediately after arriving home. My family ate the same thing for dinner and nobody else had symptoms so the culprit had to be this drink (husband ordered something else and was fine). I'm not sure how you make your peach slushies but something was definitely contaminated. I do not have any lactose intolerance either. Please do better to make sure your drinks with any food prep such as the peaches are safe for consumption. read more
