So yummy! I got the mango matcha and it was so good, I'll definitely be coming back :) The place is also really pretty and feels super comforting, perfect for studying or just relaxing! read more

I've been to rose tea lounge near fremont before and I really enjoyed their drinks. I decided to go here since I saw they have a RANG pop up. It's my first time at this location and there's plenty of parking right outside. The store is so spacious. There were people studying and playing card games. Perfect place to sit and yapp where it's not overwhelming. It was a vibe in there and it's super clean as well. We easily ordered on the kiosk. There were so many great options to choose from. I ordered the double matcha and my friend got the hojicha. The drinks came out in 5 minutes. The double matcha was so good. Just the right creaminess and sweetness (I got regular sugar). Definitely coming back :) read more

Came to this spot with the intention of finding a new place to work remotely. Temperatures were just under 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside, so I was in the market for a place where I could get a refreshing drink that had decent WiFi and good air conditioning. It was a Wednesday and Devin and I were looking to make it a productive work day. We stopped by later in the afternoon. There is ample seating but most of the booths were occupied when we arrived so we sat at a table. Club music was being played loudly so working here would not be ideal if you have to present in meetings. The tropical paradise fruit tea would've been better with a topping or two, but in an attempt to cut down on calories consumed I've began getting drinks without toppings. Unfortunately fruit tea without toppings is just not the same, but this was totally my choice and on me. The WiFi worked well. There are some outlets under the booths but none at the tables. I've been to other Rose Tea Lounge locations and I'd say that this one is definitely more club-like than others. Not the ideal place to work remotely by any means, but that's not to say that the drinks are bad or ambiance is poor. If you're looking to chat and catch up with friends, this spot would be a good choice. read more

At first glance, it's a very stylish spot with free wifi, plenty of seating, and a bathroom, so I decided to set up here to study for a while after work. Everything is very clean, and it's easy to find a table--albeit 90% of the seating is not near an outlet, so I had to rely on the preexisting charge on my laptop. The staff operates mostly in the back, so if you need help with anything it might be a little difficult, but I honestly didn't notice it too much. The drinks I ordered were okay--the puff cream in the Matcha Marble was a little cloying and left the roof of my mouth a little uncomfortably coated, but otherwise the flavor was good and the sweetness level appropriate to what I expected. The Very Grape blended drink was not to my tastes, either. The most unsafisfying part of the experience was the music and lighting. The music is a little loud, which is no problem, but you could also here conflicting music playing from someone's phone or speaker coming from the back, which was a little much. Additionally, the lights seemed synced to the music and would flash occasionally like camera flash, which hurt my eyes and distracted me while I was working. It was a bit straining. I wouldn't recommend sitting down here too long, which is a shame because there is a lot of space inside. That said, I have had good experiences with their drinks & with the Rang Coffee House drinks as well--I would just take it to-go. read more

First time stopping at Rose Tea Lounge, and we ordered the Thai tea and popcorn chicken. The boba was incredibly fresh, and the drink had a perfect balance--sweet without being overly sugary. The popcorn chicken was another highlight. It didn't taste like frozen chicken at all; it seemed freshly made. I believe it's made with chicken thighs rather than breast meat, which gave it a juicier texture. Just a heads-up--the spice level is definitely on the hotter side! We really loved this place and can't wait to come back to try other items. To order, there's a kiosk system, so keep in mind that they do not accept cash. There's both indoor and outdoor seating available, and plenty of parking as well. read more

I love going to Rose Tea Lounge for their Tiramisu milk tea! It tasted just like tiramisu, which I had not found anywhere else. When I saw Rang was having a pop-up here, it brought me back for a different reason -- matcha! I was immediately obsessed with their Sticky Mango Rice Matcha and get it every time I visit now. I love how their flavors taste exact! I've tried this drink at other shops and it did not taste exactly like sticky mango rice. They also hand whisk the drinks in front of you so you know it's authentic! Lots of parking outside and a whole lot of seating inside! read more

Rose Tea Lounge - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Since the other location closed in Cupertino, this location has been the go to. Parking is available during the weekend afternoon. There's also plenty of seating inside with 15+ small tables. There's also outdoor seating. AC made the establishment comfortable even during the hot weather outside. Ordering is done through kiosk. There was a steady but small line almost at all times. Drinks came out quickly after ordering. Both drinks tasted more watery than the cupertino location this time. The panna cotta milk tea's tea was a bit bland while the honey gyokuro milk tea had more of a smoky tea taste. Both drinks had the less ice option. Maybe it was just today since usually the drinks are consistent with the other locations (Fremont and Cupertino). The panna cotta is always spectacular in the drinks. It's what keeps us coming back! read more

I've had rose tea a few time just not in San Jose. My friends and I came here since it was close to where we had lunch. You can order through a touch screen. In hopes that you know what you want. It took me a few mins to decide what I wanted. I'm sad that they didn't have the matcha option I wanted. Inside is spacious and cozy. A lot of seating. They also have games if you wanted to hangout. My friends and I stayed for about 45 mins before we left. read more

Visited on 4/19 for the mango sticky rice matcha and was sad to hear they were out of puree to make the drink, but was super excited to see they have a banana matcha and cookie butter matcha! I want to shout out their staff because the customer service is elite here. I asked many questions about the sweetness levels as I am unfortunately a little addicted to sugar and they were super helpful in my sugar level decisions and even let me know they can add sweetener if it's not sweet enough. I ended up doing 75% sweetness for the cookie butter and 50% sweetness for the banana matcha, and eventually asking for a bit more sweetener in the banana matcha before I left. Even at 75% sweetness I felt like I still tasted the matcha and natural banana flavor without it being overwhelmingly sweet. They definitely use fresh bananas in their cream top and it is so insanely delicious, generous with the amount of cream top too. I've been on the hunt for the best banana matcha latte in SJ since my last visit to Academic Coffee didn't feel very satisfactory as that's usually my go to spot. Move over, Academic Coffee - there is a new top dawg banana matcha latte spot in town! So happy to have stumbled upon their banana matcha and I hope to try the mango sticky rice matcha soon. :) Ambience is peaceful with edm music, super clean interior and well lit inside. I like how much seating there is and they have a little outdoor patio area with seating as well. read more

This location is so nice! Not only is there a good amount of seating inside, there's a little outdoor patio too! I love telling my friends this is an OMOMO dupe because of their Matcha Marble, Peach Cloud, and high quality milk teas. I love the Honey Gyukoro too! I would recommend most of their drinks! I can't really recall a time where I have had a bad drink here, but the menu is truly MASSIVE! I strongly believe this is a good spot to go for indecisive friends. There's something for everyone here. read more

Rose Tea Lounge - Matcha Marble & Peach Cloud Ice Blended - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

A great place to visit if you're in the area and looking for a roomier setting! Food and Snack: Summer Melon Fruit Tea, 75% Sugar: Standard yummy fruit tea. It was on the more sweet side, but the fruit tones really came through. Jasmine Milk Tea, 0% Sugar: They give you the choice between whole milk tea, house milk tea, and oat milk tea for free! A nice little bonus. The tea flavor didn't come through for me, so I was a little disappointed. Popcorn Chicken, Mild Spice, Light Seasoning, Spicy Mayo: We love how customizable this was (seasoning level, spice level, 6 different sauce options). It was nice and juicy. Parking: Medium size parking, but the lot isn't that large. Ambiance: This is where rose tea lounge stands out They have large indoor seasons with large tables and smaller intimate settings. There's also a nice outdoor area. read more

On a late Saturday night, we were looking for a Boba drink place that was open and came across Rose Tea Lounge. Walking in and the ambience was relaxed and laid-back. Rose Tea Lounge is exactly what the name says, a tea lounge. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of seating for you and your guest. The indoor area is very nicely decorated with velvet chairs and comfortable seating all along the wall. There's also a cool mirror for your Insta pics. Order two drinks and both drinks were prepared perfectly and we're very tasty. We were very satisfied with our selection and I can see myself going back for more Boba and to try some of their other menu options. They also offer some small plate and goodies. Employees are welcoming and friendly and very patient when you're undecided on what to order, lol. They also offered good suggestions of what was on the menu. read more

Pretty disappointed with my experience at Rose Tea Lounge today. I ordered drinks this afternoon and the lid on my matcha drink was not secured properly, so the drink spilled all over my car and clothes shortly after I left the store while I was still in the parking lot. I have the receipt and photo proof of the spill that I emailed to the company. I called the store hoping they could remake the drinks or offer some kind of refund, but I was told they couldn't because the spill didn't happen "inside the store." I understand accidents happen, but this was caused by the lid not being put on correctly, so the response was frustrating. The employee I spoke with also came across as dismissive, which made the situation more upsetting. I've been here before and wanted to continue supporting the business, but this experience left a bad impression. I just wish there had been a little more accountability and customer service in handling the situation. read more

My review still stands... I love the open space of this space for getting my work done! I've recently introduced myself to a few different items on the menu that I love: Jasmine Wintermelon with Jasmine Tea Jelly - BOMB!!! This combo is amazing. I've never had the Jasmine Tea Jelly before and you can tell it's made in house. It's sooo soft and sweet.... might be my new favorite topping? Popcorn Chicken - First time trying the food items here. The popcorn chicken is made of chicken thigh, so its SOO juicy and tender. The medium spicy was still pretty spicy, haha! But, it was so good. Truly one of the better popcorn chickens I've ever had at a boba shop. Really reminded me of the shihlin chicken, but less spice powder! 5/5. Great work space, great food, great drinks. What more could I ask for? read more

Got their Thai tea and it didn't live up to the hype. I didn't drink it and left to another boba spot.

This tea lounge is great! We love the convenience of ordering from the kiosk- the tablet is large, wide variety of the menu is organized nicely under each tab, and ordering from it is fairly easy. Once placed, our order came quickly. Super sweet and friendly staff is a plus! Clean tables and cutsey vibes with very upbeat, loud music. It's a great hangout spot with tons of seating, there's also an outdoor seating area. We ordered the dirty boba matcha latte and a summer melon fruit tea, solid 10/10. The flavors are perfectly fresh and doesn't taste artifical. Appreciate the oatmilk substitute option for the milk tea. Boba was just right, chewy and soft . We aalso grabbed a couple of ice creams to go. The peach one is so creamy and has a soft sorbet center. The fried chicken one was interesting, wasn't a huge fan, it tasted like vanilla but with a mild kick. Trying it was fun but not something I'd order again. We also got the labubu jelly and that was tasty and jiggly! Looking forward to going back soon to try their other snacks and teas! read more

Came to this location for the Rang Matcha pop up they have. I came in really excited since I have been hearing nothing but great reviews on Tik tok. It looked very promising, they whisk the matcha once at a time in front of you. But unfortunately the matcha did not live up to the hype. It had this weird taste. It tasted bitter and sour. Especially the matcha einspanner. The cream on top had this coconut aftertaste which I disliked. The location itself is very nice though. It's clean and has plenty of comfortable seating. Great if you want to sit down and finish some work. But I would skip out on Rang and maybe try a drink from Rose Tea Lounge. read more

Rose Tea Lounge recently opened up in Little Saigon and adds another boba option to the highly competitive Story Road corridor. Nothing wrong with that, more options for meeee. I have tried their grape and strawberry drinks. Both were delish and quite refreshing. I also ordered the popcorn chicken and their novelty ice creams. Popcorn chicken was crispy, juicy and a good snack option. Sometimes though, it is sold out and there's no way to find out until you're waiting in the long line and then get up to the tablet to order and it says sold out. They have several novelty ice cream options at Rose and I got to try the strawberry and the spicy fried chicken. The strawberry ice cream was good and I would get it again. The spicy fried chicken was very bad and too spicy. My friend liked it but I was not a fan. Both were $5 each. All in all, a nice spot to hang out and they have plenty of seating, more than the other boba spots down the street. read more

Our fav are the corn, einspanner, and mango sticky rice matcha. read more

I'm not a huge fan of boba, milk-teas or overly sweetened drinks (even with the sugar adjustments) including smoothies but when you're playing cool aunt you bring the niece to a different boba spot than her usual. Rose Tea Lounge offers Labubu jelly topping (option) for their drinks and made someone a happy camper. I tell ya these kids (ok adults too) are all about it. Ordering is via self-ordering kiosk with staff in back. So basically no interaction when we visited except when drinks ready. Labubu jelly was delivered on the side as was told they tend to sink quickly. Not the prettiest color but flavor-wise was like a coconut panna cotta and yummy. Drinks were good but again for me, 4 sips was plenty as these are large-sized drinks. Of course niece noticed the viral Propitious Peach ice cream...thin white chocolate shell with flavorful, peach flavored sorbet. Definitely worth the wow factor and hype. Other flavors: strawberry, lemon grape were SOLD OUT Rose Tea Lounge offers fried snacks like Taiwanese popcorn chicken and lumpia (8)! Ordered the lumpia, simple and accompanied with the bottled sweet-chili sauce Located in Little Saigon area in a run down shopping center. Interior is beautiful with a nice patio. Limited parking read more

Rose Tea Lounge - Coconut Matcha - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

A very unexpected surprise. We thought this place was going to be like another pekoe and tisane where drinks taste artificial and overly sweet however it was perfect. The strawberry milk had some saltiness which didn't overpower the strawberries at all. It gave it a nice balance to the drink itself. The tropical drink at 25% still had some sweetness to it however it didn't taste like straight up tea and water. With the aloe inclusions made it a very refreshing drink. The labubu jelly was bought on a whim due to many posts about it on social media. We got it for funsies and we can compare it to UJU's mystery jelly. The labubu is wayy better than the mystery jelly texture and taste wise. It was soft yet still held its shape with a creamy texture. The jelly itself wasn't too sweet. The next thing we will try will be the spicy chicken wing ice cream read more

I just discovered this location today and I've been missing out. I tried their Coconut pandan drink with boba and I'm addicted. It was basically coconut water with pandan foam on top, and I added boba. It was so good and refreshing. I love pandan and coconut water, and I have never seen this combo before anywhere. I ordered on their website and picked up. It was fast and easy. They have indoor and outdoor seating to hang out. It was cute and clean. There were a few tables with people hanging out doing their school work. The staff was really nice and friendly. I can't wait to come back to get this same drink again. read more

Rose tea has always been a solid boba place for me since I first tried it in Fremont. I'm glad a location opened in SJ, so I don't have to drive far to get my boba fix. The store is located in a small plaza, so parking can be hard to find on busy days. However, the store itself is very spacious and has an outdoor patio. There are a couple of kiosks to order and drinks usually come out quickly. My go-to drink is the Kyoto milk tea with honey boba. It's a unique flavor that you won't see at many boba shops. I've also tried their other milk teas and they've all been good. The only catch is that the prices are on the higher end. I think the drink quality justifies the price, though, so definitely come by for good drinks and food. read more

It's always quiet here with lots of tables to study at. The three booth tables have outlets at the bottom, which is helpful to have. Their strawberry matcha is very yummy, they use rang matcha making the matcha flavor pretty prominent. Their milk teas are very good as well, they taste like they've been freshly brewed. They also have fried snacks and ice cream. I don't tend to try new drinks once I've found something I've liked at a place, but it's consistency has made me open to try more. read more

The drinks have a great kick to it! I always get one of their pure teas because I LOVE tea. I tried their Rang collab drinks and they were great as well! Great place to study when it's not study season! Some people don't know how to use their indoor voice when there are others around them studying, so not going to take any stars off just because some people lack the self awareness of using indoor voices. This location has a wide range of seating area for both indoors AND outdoors. read more

We came to Rose Tea Lounge on July 4th, about 7 minutes after opening, and the place was already packed. We mainly came to get the labubu jelly. I had called the day before, but they had sold out of it within an hour of opening, so I decided not to go. However, my friend managed to get the topping an hour before closing that same day so it seems like they restock throughout the day (wish I had known!). I'm not sure if they opened a bit earlier today but by the time we arrived, most people had already ordered. I ended up getting the last Labubu topping around 2:07 PM. When I checked again about two hours later, it looked like they had restocked. So, if you're hoping to get one, I'd suggest placing an order online and checking when it restocks. We ordered the Coconut Matcha and Mango Cloud drinks which were pretty good. I really liked the cheese foam in the mango drink! The Labubu jelly topping costs about $3.50 extra. I didn't love the jelly but we mainly got it for the photos. PSA the jelly melts quickly in the heat so do not leave it in the car like us! Overall, this new location is pretty spacious and nice. I'd come back next time I'm eating around Vietnam town. Also, the parking lot is a bit small so plan accordingly. read more

New Rose Tea Lounge in SJ unlocked! Now I have one closer to me instead of the Cupertino or Fremont location. Inside is such a vibe! Really pretty decorations and love the black chairs. They also have outdoor seating which is going to be so nice for the summer evenings. Praying that it's not too hot though because you know how the heat be in SJ until August-September. I got the peach oolong tea because I just wanted something refreshing and simple. They put them in these pretty cups but I wish we could see inside the cup. The drink tasted watered down to me. Not sure about the other flavors but the peach oolong tea was alright. I would come back to try the other drinks though and it's such a nice place to chill because there's so much seating. They also icecream on their menu! They have a variety of flavors and the popular ice creams that went viral on tik tok. I've seen some at Korean markets before but the ones they have on the menu I can't find in store. They have spicy chicken flavored icecream like what! As for parking it's near Vietnam town in a different plaza. I could see parking being difficult to find if it's super busy. I just love the interior they did a good job with that. read more

Overall the drinks at default sweetness aren't too sweet. I got 75% for the matcha Kyoto when I should've did regular sweet. Peach cloud 4.5/5 (delish, refreshing, has peach bits and the cream was good) Mango tango 3/5 (very mango-y, I recommend getting fruit bits or toppings) Matcha Kyoto 3/5 (milkier, not much matcha flavor, yummy cream) Very aesthetic and would be a nice, spacious place to hang out or study. There's outdoor seating as well. Drinks took about 15 mins to come out. Probably because workers are new. I wanna go back to try other drinks and snacks (they have the realistic fruit ice cream popsicles and Dubai chocolate strawberries) read more

My favorite boba spot in SJ!! I've been here several times and I'll honestly keep coming back. I've never been disappointed by their accommodating and friendly service or consistent and quality drinks. This place doesn't accept cash so keep that in mind. There's two kiosks for you to order on but there's always a staff that's available to help. The matcha marble is a personal favorite with oat milk and 50% sweetness. The cream does run a little too sweet for my preference but it's perfect at half sweet. It's a smoothie type of drink that's rich in matcha flavor and far from bitter. Tie guan yin oolong milk tea is also fragrant with the prominent tea taste. It's creamy but not too overpowered with the milk. I suggest getting 75% sweetness. Honey boba is very soft and chewy as a nice topping to pair with it. Tiramisu coffee was okay. I wasn't a fan of their coffee as a huge Vietnamese coffee enthusiast but the tiramisu foam was perfect and not too thick. It tasted better when I mixed the foam and the drink together. As for the snacks, I really enjoy their popcorn chicken with sweet chili sauce at level 4 spicy and extra seasoning. I noticed the crispy skin is on the thinner side with more meat than batter (YUM!). I liked how the popcorn chicken was juicy and came with many big pieces. Spicy bbq fries is delicious as well! It reminds me of Potato Corner's old chili bbq seasoning but slightly different as I prefer this one more. I also appreciate how Rose Tea Lounge keeps their prices reasonable for good drinks and snacks, especially in this day and age while other places are raising their prices. Store is extremely spacious and well decorated with an additional outdoor patio. It's definitely the ideal place to take pictures and bond with friends and family over yummy eats and drinks. read more

At this point it seems like there's at least 3 tea shops in every plaza but that sea of boba Rose Tea stands out amongst the rest! I'm on a constant search to find boba shops that care about their tea over sugary flavors and with this Rose Tea delivered! The shop has a decent sized lounge area to hangout with friends and snacks to share. My friends and I split fried tofu. With everyone on the labubu craze they have labubu jelly so we had to get one to try. It looked a little creepy.
