Stopped by before heading home. I had their taro drink with boba and egg pudding. The drink was thick. The boba tasted off and the egg pudding was bland. It was $6.50 and though I appreciated the price, I would've paid a little more for something that was good. I wasn't greeted until after I entered my order into the kiosk. Also, the kiosk was really slow. The place looked a little dirty. When I noticed brown stuff on the side of my lid, I ended up tossing the drink. read more

After having lunch in the same shopping center we stopped by for some fruit tea. This as our first time here. They are located in the Country Square center closest to Cottle Rd. I was greeted when I walked in. There was only one employee behind the counter. I checked the menu out and decided to try the strawberry sunrise tea and the honey lemon tea. They were $6 each. They also offer food items like egg rolls, fish and chips, potstickers and mozzarella sticks. My order was ready within 5 minutes. Tithe young man helping me was very nice. There are several booths and tables inside for seating. They had 3 screen tv's on the wall and a claw machine. We thought the teas were just okay. They were not as good as some of the other fruit tea places around town, but they did the job. They were refreshing. I didn't think they were worth $6 each, but I'm glad I stoped by to try them. read more

My husband and I wanted boba after our drive to Morgan Hill. We wanted to try some place different and came across Pure Tea. What we ordered - Strawberry Yo Milk (yogurt, nondairy ice milk) with mango jelly and taro milk tea (creamy taro root, honey boba, and egg pudding) both 50% sweet. For a snack we got jalapeño poppers. Both drinks were really good and creamy. My husband is a big time taro fan and he drank his in like two gulps. Wild! He liked it that much. I liked my strawberry to drink but it was sweet. Not a bad sweet but I know to get it with less sweetness, lower than 50%. This place is good and the service was quick but there were only 3 other people. The music in the back was moderate as well. read more

Service is great. Food is great. This is only for my tea drink which is the strawberry lychee tea, something fruitie if that is your thing. Prices are also great with $4.5 plus toppings optional. They do have special drinks so see what you see is fitting for you. My fish n chip was also reasonable price with $8 plus toppings if you need extra sauce. I wanted extra so i added lemon pepper which is . 50 cents. My total came out as under $15 so good lunch under $20. Ambiance is nice since they got tv playing in the background plus radio also. If u need a quiet place, this is probably not it. Overall great place for quick grab and go near kaiser hospital. read more

Amazing drinks and incredibly nice workers. The location and Ambiance seem to be friendly as well. If you're looking for a nice and comfy spot for your family I definitely recommend this place. Definitely coming back! read more

I come here pretty often since a friend lives nearby. We really love the fruit teas and the brown sugar milk tea. They are consistently good and not overly sweet. It is a nice spot to sit and chat for a bit, especially if you are looking for something casual and low key. The staff can be hit or miss. They are not rude, but they can come off a bit cold or short at times. Nothing that ruins the experience, but it is noticeable. read more

This place is a hidden gem--the milk teas are incredibly authentic, featuring flavors inspired by different regions.

still good as always :] i like getting the black tie at 50% sweetness. just right for me and my mom. oolong milk tea with grass jelly!

Love how convenient this is from my work. The edamame is one of my favorites. (I get no spice). Milk tea is good. Had a few different drinks and I'm happy with it all. Service is quick when I go on a my lunch and it's always nice and clean! read more

"Mama, you didn't pack enough food. I'm hungry!!" Said my almost 10-year old when I picked her up from summer camp. Oops! I needed a snack, too, so I decided to check out Pure Tea. Service was quick and friendly! We both shared the Sweet Potato fries. Yum!! I had the Milky Way and she had the Mango/Strawberry Smoothie. Yay! We picked the right drinks! There are board games, a clawing machine with stuffed animals, and baby toys for entertainment. My daughter and I played Connect Four for about half an hour. Head-bopping music from the flat screen TV could be heard in the background. I was really digging the songs! We've never been here before! It was cute, cozy, and fun!!! Oh, and the boba drinks were delicious!! read more

Pure Tea Bar has been one of my go-to places mostly because it's convenient, close to work, and more importantly, offers snacks as well. Boba is decently chewy. Snacks are okay. Drinks run on the sweeter side. The ambiance is small and cute. Lighting is a little bit on the dim side. There's a few TVs on one side of the wall playing music videos or a movie. The snack menu isn't up to date. I had ordered some spring rolls, but apparently, they don't actually offer that anymore. The service was pretty quick. Granted, I came when it wasn't busy. read more

I had the Milkway bubble tea with Carmel & a Honey pork Bahn Mi sandwich. Went with 25% sugar, but forgot to ask for light ice so the tea tasted a bit watered down for my taste. And there was VERY little Carmel in the tea at all. The Bahn mi was solid, would have liked it to be filled more ingredients, because there were a few dry bites through out the sandwich, but otherwise the flavor was good. All in all I'd come back, I feel like portions/serving sizes matched up well to the price tags read more

Ordered jasmine milk tea with boba, 50% sweetness. Very light tea flavor, a little water down for my liking and boba didn't taste like anything. We ordered 3 drinks and food and the service is really quick! Also not a busy place. We were the only customers there on a weekend afternoon. Plenty of parking right in front. Friendly staff. Also has a stamp card which is always a plus. Plenty of seating inside. Order board games for the kids to enjoy while waiting. They have a tv there which was had the football game on. read more

This is the closest boba shop near me so I had my fingers crossed that it would be good! I was pleasantly surprised and overall found it to be good boba tea. The shop is cute and has outdoor and indoor seating options. Their milk is dairy free which is nice and sweetness levels can be adjusted. We ordered their matcha rose milk tea, strawberry jasmine milk tea, and a custom oolong rose milk tea. I got 25% sweetness on my strawberry jasmine and I am glad I did because it was still too sweet for me. The oolong and matcha rose were wayy too sweet at 50%. Both tasted more like 75-80%. The strawberry flavor is tart fyi which I liked because it didn't taste too artificial, but my boyfriend did not like it. Their boba has a nice chew and honey flavor. The matcha rose was good but lacked matcha flavor. All in all, flavors were good just be carefully with the sweetness levels. I will be returning and am looking forward to trying other teas! read more

I've been here before several times for boba. The boba is good, and I keep coming back. Although, it's pretty much just typical and what I expect to get. Nothing outrageously special. But it is good. However, today I am upping my review to five stars. Because their bahn mi is absolutely to die for. I got the #17 honey pork bahn mi. It's made with a 10-in French bread loaf, grilled pork, cucumber, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapenos, mayo, and soy sauce. I took one bite and I literally closed my eyes because the flavor was so good and I wanted to savour that moment. I initially came in just to have half a sandwich and save the rest for later, but I just could not stop eating this sandwich. Because it was so good. This is absolutely my new spot for sandwiches. And to think all this time I've been going across the street to Subway when this gem has been sitting here the whole time. read more

This is my neighborhood tea place and I am a big fan! They have about 20 special combination drinks but also offer a good variety of tea and toppings for you to mix and match. The red dragon is a great option for a caffeine-free tea (I add fresh fruit bits). Mango sunshine is a great green tea option! Service is always good here and the employees are helpful! They also have a good variety of snacks and apps. They offer cute indoor seating with board games and music, or a small patio with outdoor seating. read more

This place is so close to my house, I don't know how I've missed this tea bar for so many years! They have a nice selection of boba teas, specialty drinks, and snacks. The most popular drink per the guy at the counter is #10 paradise splash- mango green tea, mango splash, and mango jelly. So we had an order of that and #12 honeydew it- honeydew, jasmine milk tea, and aloe vera. Both were awesome! Plenty of mango jelly and real pieces of honeydew. 50% mango sweetness was right on point for me. Indoor seating booths, and music was not overbearing unlike some places I've visited where it's hard to have a conversation. I'd like to come back and try other items on the menu. read more

Cannot overstate this: can't beat the value of what this Boba Bar offers. The prices are very competitive and remind me of the rise of the boba bars during the early 2010s. This place is also one of the few boba bars left that offer the coupon codes. The one drink that kept me coming back is the Genmaicha Milk Tea; the other boba shop that I frequent solely because of the Genmaicha is one in Morgan Hill and Pure Tea Bar does not disappoint. Another recommendation is the Honeydew Milk Tea: they add real honeydew into their blend which makes all the difference; also one of the few boba bars that I know that does this. If you do not like your drinks too sweet, try 50% sweet and the flavors of the ingredients will shine a little more. We came in 40 minutes before closing on a Tuesday night and were the only ones there. The only worked in the back was very polite and gave our food in a timely manner. Definitely recommend is you have a sweet tooth. read more

Arrived here with family who was visiting from LA! They wanted something sweet and closeby before they drove back to their hotel. Parking isn't an issue since the boba shop is part of a larger plaza. We got here around 3:30 pm on a Saturday afternoon. Love the vibe with the floral decorations, chill music, claw machine, board games, and interior. They also have outside seating with umbrella tables to get some shade. I highly am impressed with the 2 staff members and thankful because they got 12 orders of boba drinks correct!! The service was professional. They got our orders done within 10 minutes, especially for that quantity. Love how we can lower the ice levels and sweetness levels because we have some family members who need to watch their sugar intake. My extended family loved the boba with it being sweet, refreshing, and delicious. read more

I had been here once before the pandemic and just made another visit recently. We arrived and there was one customer picking up her large drink order. I checked out the menu and notice you can adjust the sweetness level (0%-100%). and decided on a Blue Butterfly at 50% sweetness. The cashier got started on my drink right away and my order was ready quickly. We took a seat inside in one of their booths and enjoyed my drink. The sweetness level was on the sweeter side but still a good drink. I enjoyed it. They have a range of sweetness from 0%-100% to customize it your way. I'd like to come back and explore the rest of the menu. read more

Pure Tea Bar - Blue Butterfly, Matcha Rose - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I found this spot while waiting at the Kaiser Permanente across the street and I was craving boba! I got the Blue Butterfly, which is Butterfly Pea Tea and Milk, with Black Sugar and Honey Boba. It was surprisingly refreshing! I got 50% sweetness, which was perfect for me. The boba was still warm when I got my drink too. Gotta love fresh boba! Their boba is on the firm side, but it had a good sweetness. The drink wasn't too heavy and I was satisfied. KEEP IN MIND: They prefer cash if your order is less than $8. However, the cashier was kind enough to still ring me up since I didn't have cash! My drink was also finished in less than a minute. So quick. read more

After my favorite go to tea place closed on Blossom Hill I found this place and so far after couple of times going I am quite pleased to find a new place that has the same tea that is my go to. Prices are basically the same. They actually have quite a big menu of what I would describe as appetizers plus bahn mi sandwiches. Service was quick and they have a nice outside area as well. read more

This is my favorite new spot for the summer. I really like their fresh smoothies and bbq pork sandwiches and the price ain't bad for what you get. I don't know why I overlooked this place for years, but now I'm hooked. read more

Right at the entrance into the plaza so hard to miss. Small spot and seems a bit outdated inside. They have games available but were extremely old and dirty - yikes. I got the Honeydew It with light ice and 75% sugar. I could've gone with a 50% sugar as it seems to run sweeter. It comes with aloe vera but really hard to enjoy the drink as the topping stays floating. This drink had pretty strong Jasmine tea and good honeydew flavor as well. However, it was more watery than milky and more yellow than green color. If you plan on becoming a regular here, make sure to get their punch card. read more

Pure Tea Bar - Honeydew It - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I would normally never be in this neighborhood but I was in this area for a birthday party. This place has been on my boba list to try so I'm glad I was finally able to check it out. Parking lot is shared with a bunch of other shops but there's def plenty of parking. Went inside and there was only one other customer. I ordered their matcha strawberry with boba and strawberry jelly along with Thai tea with boba. The sign said they only accept card with $8 minimum so that is why i ended up getting a second drink. I didn't wait long for my drink to be made. I was in and out of there in less than 5 mins. Score! I noticed that they also have snacks to eat but I didn't order any. Ok now time for the boba review. Wow! Yummy. Top 5 places that has the boba i like. Chewy and a little sweet. The firmness was great. The actual boba could have been sweater but I was not mad at it at all!!! Would I drive all the way out there to get another drink? No, but if I'm ever in that area i would def come back and order me another drink that's for sure! I gave the thai tea to my sister and she said it was good and it hit the spot as well. They only have 1 Size of drinks and I like that option cuz they always opt for the "bigger" size. Like really what's the point of the smaller drinks, lol I finish those in like 1 minute lol. read more

It is a really nice place for tea, I will definitely come again as the price is unbeatable! If you're like me, a cup of tea boost up your day, this is a must try location. The Curley fries is yummy, especially like it because it is not spicy with black pepper like some other places, so it is perfect for kids who cannot eat spicy fries like my boy. The deep fried chicken taste little different than the popcorn chicken in most store, it has a taste of Vietnam herbs, if you like food with herbs, give it a try. We wanted to try the Vietnam sandwich but it was all sold out unfortunately, but than I guess it is popular. I personality like it just that it is so different from popcorn chicken. read more

The Banh Mi tastes like the chef put his soul inside of it. 10/10 affordarble and delicious.

I used to come here all the time for their spicy edamame. I think they would deep fry it with some awesome spices- because of this, we would buy our boba here. Unfortunately, they must have changed the way they make it because the last few times I've been here, they have boiled it & sprinkled spices on top and once it was cold edamame with sprinkled spices- it was NOT good at all. There are so many other boba places around town, and unfortunately I'll be going to other places. read more

I've been here a couple times over the years and I dropped by again recently and thought to write a review. I really like their quality of tea, especially in their "1. Pure special". BUT I wouldn't recommend getting the boba added. It doesn't taste fresh and chewy. Pure tea bar also offers a variety of snacks and appetizers and I've liked their crispy chicken bites. I recently tried their honey pork/grilled chicken banh mi sandwiches and wasn't a huge fan. The banh mi has tomatoes in them (not sure why, but you can ask to remove them) and don't have any pickled veggies that you would normally find in a banh mi. If I come back, I may try their Korean bbq banh mi (if its not out of stock), an offering I haven't seen anywhere else! Btw they also have a few games (for all age groups including children toys) that customers can play with during their time here. read more

Pure Tea Bar is mid. It tastes okay, the boba is decently chewy. They're okay if you're in the area, but it's nothing to write home about at all. The tea sometimes tastes a bit artificial, which makes me a bit sad. The environment is pretty decent and it's fun to hang out on the outdoor patio and the service is always really nice. They are super timely and I have no complaints on anything except for the actual tea itself. The prices are pretty okay and the special teas are pretty fun. 50% sweetness feels like 100% sweetness so definitely be wary of your sugar levels. I don't think I'd come here to do any studying or work but definitely cool to go in and out. It's a local place, and it does just fine. I would recommend the fruit teas over their milk teas for sure, come if you're in the area but don't travel to visit here. read more

Have you guys ever felt like any boba place you go to, you usually have that one drink in mind where you can't pass it up, and know you can only specifically get it from that boba place because you know other boba places just can't match up? Well SAME. For me, I've been craving the #21 Black Ice Tea. You can see it in the menu posted below. ^^ I remember having this drink the first time at 100% sweetness and felt like it was way too much, so I let the guy know if he can do like 80% and he was kind enough to do so. WELL this is definitely my go to drink here!! All my boba lovers who have more of a sweet tooth and like honey boba and brown sugar mixed in, check this drink out! It won't disappoint you. You'll want to savor the drink. Trust me! Will be checking out other drinks here, but after coming here 3x and adjusting the sweetness level for #21, gotta say it's my go to ;) read more

Stopped by here to grab tea on a hot day. They have a pretty good set up safety wise. There's plenty of room to spread out waiting to order and pick up your drinks. I had the lychee tea. My daughter had the passion fruit tea. I had the jellies instead of the Boba. The drinks were served quickly and they were right on point in terms of sweetness. We like very lightly sweetened and picked the 25%. It was perfect. If I'm in the area I would definitely come back here. read more

Pure Tea Bar - Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Pure Tea Bar is a small spot that may be easily missed if you are not looking for it. It is located in a small plaza, but there was plenty of parking when I went (on a weekday). I expected it to be more bar like inside because of the name, but it was very simple inside. There is some seating inside, as well as outside (off to the side) which was nice. The jasmine milk tea was stronger on the tea taste and did not have much creaminess to it, had a strong floral aftertaste to it as well. The drink was not that sweet either at regular sweetness which was a bummer. read more
