the bobas are very good and the service is great and quick. the food is decent but i do find that some of the food is overpriced. but overall the drinks and the environment inside is very nice looking they have a claw machine in the corner and lots of seating inside and outside and little games for people to play while waiting or enjoying their drinks or food. read more

Came here one night to satisfy a boba craving and check out a tea cafe that was new to me. I must say I actually really like the yellow seating and blue lighting; they provide a nice contrast and pop of color. I ordered the Prom Date and my guy ordered the matcha sea crema. We typically take drinks to go but this day (prior to COVID-19) we decided to drink it in the cafe while playing one of their many games (they have connect 4). I really liked how fresh and fruity the Prom Date is, with a good, strong tea flavor. It seems like they use high quality products. I don't often see pomegranate in a fruit tea blend so that was a nice treat. My dude enjoyed his matcha milk tea, and particularly the crema. He said it was a nice ratio of sweet to salty, which apparently is difficult to achieve with cheese foam. The employees were pleasant and helpful, making suggestions for us since we were being indecisive. Definitely not pushy though. read more

Ok so this is no joke... I'm going to piggyback off Luz V. Review bc she hit the nail on the head about Pure Teas "Fresh Spring Rolls" . Lettuce and few tiny shrimps! No mint, no vermicelli noodles, no green onions but shrimp and lettuce! WTH ... false advertisement. From Luz V. Review: Are you kidding me! I am beyond dissatisfied with my order. I wanted Fresh Spring rolls, expecting to get what you menú states...rice wrap, shrimp, chicken, rice noodles, lettuce, mint, dakon and carrots. To my surprise all I got in them was lettuce, shrimp and I watered down sauce, I would have rather have been told that you were out of ingredients and make my choice than have you decide for me! read more

Great tea spot! 1. Parking easy 2. Loyalty cards!! 3. Tea you can taste 4. Friendly staff 5. Couple chairs outside where you can sit your lazy tush. (Wish they would fix the one chair though haha) Flavors: Mango green tea: yup. Lychee tea: yup Perfect texture of jelly that has the right resistance as you try to get that down your throat . Sweetness perfection (i am a 50% kinda girl). It is a little out of way for me but I stop by whenever I am there :) read more

Pure Tea Bar is a super chill place with fast and simple service. Their menu has creative names for their drinks with great combinations of flavors and toppings! I usually order The Black Tie because of how much I like grass jelly and the roasted oolong makes the sweetness of the jelly just to my liking. As said before, the service here is really fast and the workers here are super caring: always checking in on sweetness and ice levels in case the customer forgets and always wishing the customer a good day! read more

It was a hot day and was looking for boba near me. This place popped up so I decided to visit. Located on the corner section of a strip mall but the store next to it looked shady. Ordered from what looked like top 10 drinks but they had no taste and I asked for 50% sugar. It was just meh! It was enough for that hot day but not worth going back. read more

Delicious milk tea with oreos on top! You can't go wrong with this. I enjoyed the flavor of the boba and the tea. The boba is nice and soft...not too chewy. This has some slight whipped cream on top and oreos. They have a variety of flavors and butterfly pea if you want to try that as well (love the purple color). Very nice place! read more

Pretty tasty food and drink. Mid service and atmosphere. Wish they didn't always play excessively cursey music : /

This is the closest milk tea spot to my place that serves Assam milk tea. Overall the milk tea is alright. The place is pretty decent and the inside is smaller but has tvs and music. read more

I would always bring my niece/nephews on this place whenever I visit the area. We would always order taro with tapioca pearl. I feel like having mango slush this time. The slush doesn't taste like fresh mangoe. It tastes like powdered mango, sugar and more ice. I'm So disappointed! read more

Really great Boba place! I get 25% sweet and usually anything without caffeine. Although they have an amazing Thai tea. Don't forget the balls. The curly fries are really good except they have a lot of small pieces and not too many curly ones so maybe get the sweet potato fries instead. read more

Date Written on : 05/17/2023 I had visited this Pure Tea Bar for getting a cold beverage to cool down since it was a hot day outside. Quick in store order pick up, and fast check out. Not crowded during this time of hour. No issues or concerns. Friendly service. No other orders or services. read more

I wish there were better boba tea options in this area because coming here is never my first choice! The tea isn't anything to rave about so the only reason for coming here in the first place is for convenience but after my visit yesterday I will not be returning! There were 2 customers including myself in the lobby at the time of my visit, and 1 younger looking employee doing both cashier and making orders. Instead of making our drinks he proceeds to ring up a group of people that had just walked in. He then tended to the other customer's drinks who had been waiting there long before me. Then another group of people walk in so he pauses making drinks to ring up the customers and by this time the lobby was full. He was understandably falling behind so he then firmly dings a bell when suddenly 2 older high AF looking dudes in the back rush to the front line to help out. Where were they this whole time? I know they can see through their security cams the rush of people coming in. I hear one of them saying that they'll make the slushees, which I know isn't my order since all I got was a mango green tea. So they start working on these other orders. I asked the owner (or whoever he was, he had "owner" vibes if you know what i mean) if they were working on my drink and he looked at me confused. 20 minutes passed so I decided I couldn't wait any longer because my daughter was going to be late for swim class. I only stopped here out of convenience since i'm local to the area. Honestly it was more of an inconvenience to come here because not only did I leave without my drink, they also don't accept debit/Apple Pay for orders under $10. So I paid $7 cash with tip for 1 drink and left with nothing! I'm not blaming the 1 employee. He has to work under these conditions and calling for help was probably his last resort because the people chillin in the back probably don't want to be bothered unless completely necessary. Oh and they still use powdered Coffee Mate creamer and not fresh dairy? Like, step up your game! read more

Great boba place with good people. Awesome place for good conversation. I love their honeydew smoothie.

Got The Potted Plant (#5) n Taro Taro (#4) Potted plant: got 50% sweet n it was still sweet like reg drink, but definitely for the pics, tastes like a lighter more herbal osmanthus Taro Taro: the best Taro drink I've ever tasted, not too sweet n not too thick, but still creamy n filling (TBH I avoid Taro drinks in general but my friend bought it so tried it out n was surprised how good it was) read more

Pure Tea Bar is a small boba place that provides varieties of teas and fried snacks. Came in on a Saturday afternoon to find this place packed full of neighborhood kids and families. I ordered their earl grey milk tea with boba and grass jelly going very light on the sweetness and ice level. To my surprise, the tea had a refreshing taste and will say that they probably make their teas every morning. It's a good boba place for those who live in South San Jose. It's one of the few places around that area so having a good solid one nearby is a major plus. read more

This place is not the greatest and the best... But it's also not the worst. When you want milk tea and you're in the area, it will do the job. Unfortunately on this side of town, there aren't very many boba places. It was my first time getting the two milk teas in one. I got Thai tea on one side and Jasmine milk tea on the other. Both egg pudding toppings for both teas. I'd come back again. The interior is fairly clean and still very new looking. Modern design. The staff is pretty good with getting the orders out in a timely manner. read more

03082020 - The drinks here are still great! This time I ordered the avocado smoothie with lychee jelly and boba, the mango yogurt drink with lychee jelly, and the one I always get -- the Pure Special drink. We also ordered the calamari rings, but that was so salty, but with the dipping sauce it cancels out. read more

Ordered a Korean sandwich with no tomatoes and jalapeños! The sandwich included siracha mayo, carrots, daikon and i have no clue what else! Well..... my sandwich is disgusting! Only has Mayo, meat, cilantro and a cucumber the size of a block.. I am giving it a 2 star only because my Honeydew smootie is good! Don't bother getting banh mi sandwiches here! read more

I only recently discovered how close this place is to where I live. It's got a great menu of tea, including a number of "specials." I plan to run the entire gamut, which might take me a while. The "Pure special" (#1) is a solid starter boba tea, if you're new to the game. It has a nice tea-ee flavor with a good balance of sweetness and plenty of boba! They also have some food items. I've tried the chicken nuggets/tenders which are lightly breaded and flavorful with just the right touch of POW! Great team. Nice and clean. Plenty of seating and wifi too! read more

Drinks are okay but, I like their varieties of food choices. Service is fast. My son and I comes here from time to time after school.

This is a good tea place. I like boba, but I wouldn't say I'm one of those boba addicts. HAHA. I come every once in awhile to get some boba. Like anywhere, some cashiers are more customer service oriented than others. Some tea options are better than others. What I always appreciate is the large selection, even if it can be overwhelming. I also love that I can customize the sweetness. Too often, I find some teas too sweet. That is not the case here as I can customize it as I wish. At the end of the day, this is a solid place to get boba and I'm sure I will be back. read more

There are so many tea places these days. I stumbled into Pure Tea because it was close to something else. The drinks were tasty and bright. The service was outstanding. Most personable help in a long time. I've been back several times now. I haven't tried any food items. read more

Boba always tastes perfect, lots of tea flavor options, and very friendly staff! Have came here MANYYYY times and each time is just as pleasant as the last. As a tip, grab a stamp card bc you will be coming back!!! :) read more

It should be called Syrup Fruit Water Bar, not Pure Tea Bar. Less than half of drinks on menu are not tea. So beware! Specify you want green tea or whatever tea in your fruit syrup drink. There are NO REAL fruits in drinks! Picture is very deceiving. No, will not come back again. Got rip off first time, won't be foolish to let them do it again. People behind the counter are not friendly, seemed like they don't want to work there, but force to be there. Need to put a smile on for customers! read more

Decided to check this place out with a friend a few days ago, as we wanted to try a new tea place. It definitely didn't disappoint! The menu has a variety of different teas available, and I need to come back to try more of them. I ordered the butterfly pea tea with aloe vera, and it had a nice sweetness to it. My friend ordered the potted plant drink, which she really enjoyed. I thought the price for the amount of tea we received was great. We also got sweet potato fries, which were delicious, too. It's a good place to stop by if you're in the area. read more

Hardly ever leave bad reviews, but I feel like this one is necessary for the store to improve. Firstly, the cleanliness of the place was a major concern. The floors looked dirty, and the kitchen area didn't look any better. A clean environment is essential for me, and it made me hesitant about the overall hygiene of the place. They also had no AC extremely hot in there, which is concerning if they have liquids such as milk come to find out my milk tea ended up being spoiled! If a place can't afford to have the AC on, then they should not even be open. I ended up just throwing away both of my drinks and leaving. read more

Love the drinks and food here. Always a great stop on the way to work. Potted plant is good for the sweet tooth!

First time here on a whim since it was close to my friend's house. I ordered #11 the strawberry drink with less sweet. Not my favorite boba I've ever had but not the worst, sorta in between. I'm kind of picky with my drinks but it's very flavorful. Kind of pricey but a good size and quantity for the cost read more

Happy there's a bubble tea place within walking distance from my house. Had a full dinner and wanted some bubble tea tonight and remembered seeing this place opening in the area and had to try their tea drinks. It's still their soft opening so it was cash only and as they had to still iron things in the back, our tea order took longer than I wanted but they did give me 10% off so I think that helps with my impatientness. We had three orders from their menu and I loved all three of them. Wow. That's actually the first. I'm a big foodie and complainer lol. Fav is winter romance, try it and you'll know why :). We will be making our after dinner stroller here often. read more

I ordered the Prom Date tea. I am not sure if it was made incorrectly. I asked for regular sweetness and less ice. It tasted like a bland fruit infused sugar water. I wouldn't get it again but I would be fine with trying other things in the future. read more
