We got the rose oolong tea to try and it was well made! Boba was quite fresh and chewy. The space is very quaint so they have a few tables and chairs for out side seating. Overall, the place is friendly and hits the spot for a boba run! read more

San San Tea House - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

TLDR: Unexpectedly good! It's just... the location isn't a normal place... at least not in the sense of the south bay. It was sandwiched between a Mexican Supermarket and a hairdresser. The neighborhood didn't look very commercial either. But inside was nice and clean and bright, if a bit small. The guy was very friendly. My wife always orders the black milk tea with 0 sugar and 0 ice. They use whole milk. I usually get a fruit tea, in this case it was a mango fruit tea, with 0 sugar and less ice. My wife really liked her tea. She said it had a strong tea flavor, and it was very creamy (of course, with the WHOLE milk!). She also said it was slightly sweet... maybe from the creamy milk. She was surprised by it, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Mine was ok. I didn't taste the tea that much, as I think the fruit flavors dominated. It was still sweet, which is a bit surprising, but probably because of the syrup. I thought it was fine. However, ultimately, I decided to give this nice place 4 stars, because my wife enjoyed her tea, and the staff was friendly, and the place was neat and modern. read more

My teen and I were craving some matcha on our way to get groceries and found this spot on Yelp ofc! San san is located in the small shopping center off Williams, right before you get to the schools. Parking is a little weird and very limited but luckily for us, we found a spot on the side of the building. There were two young ladies working the store and the menu is basically posted everywhere. My daughter and I immediately gravitated to the banana matcha latte. We also saw they had yummy croissant pastries available, so we decided to give that a try. What we got: 1. 2 banana matcha lattes- 4/10 the matcha was okay but we tasted no banana to it besides the slices of banana. The pudding tasted like regular vanilla. Overall just not what we were anticipating. 2. Brown sugar boba milk? - 0/10 This was just milk with a bit of brown sugar syrup. (See pic) I actually dropped this off to my other daughter and she said she just couldn't drink it. 3. Strawberry croissant- 8/10 This was actually good. The strawberries with the jam and whipped cream were very good. Don't get me wrong, service was fine. They also had a few great items but the actual drinks were mid. I think the matcha needs to change or maybe making it more paste like could help boost the flavor. The brown sugar latte was just not it. read more

Hit-or-miss!?!?! We ordered 2 drinks...hit with the Thai tea and totally missed with the Avocado. Very cute, clean shop with good service. He was by himself but welcomed us and gave us an update. Sad that the avocado boba missed especially since it was at a premium price tag. Could barely taste the avocado, likely because it want ripe enough. read more

Drinks were pretty good. Got a banana matcha latte and a purple cloud milk tea, both with boba. Boba was good texture and we liked the banana matcha latte much better than the purple cloud milk tea, which had a weird floral flavor to it (probably the tea they used). Well probably come back to try other drinks read more

Today I had went in to get a boba drink and they keep telling everyone that walks in asking for a boba drink no boba that it takes 30 mins make. They wasn't even making any boba. They being lazy and need to be prepared always. I don't recommend this place after that issue. read more

This is a small local mom and pop shop. It came on a Sunday afternoon and it was run by two young women. I ordered the emerald pearl milk, tea and lychee lemon fruit tea. Both were ok. There were a few other teenage looking kids hanging out. No public restroom. Little no parking, so I suppose majority of their customers are from foot traffic in the neighborhoods. There's 2 small tables so I wouldn't recommend coming here with a large group to sit and chill. read more

San San Tea House - August 2025 menu - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

My sister and I ordered a brown sugar boba fresh milk tea and a rose oolong tea, both with boba, 50% sweetness, less ice. I'd say it's decent -- as a boba connoisseur, it's decent. Nothing to write home about necessarily. The shop itself is very cute, fresh, and trendy-looking both outside and inside, with pops of colorful pastels decorating the interior and a classic lighted neon sign for the shop on the outside (the sign caught my eye while we were driving by which is how we ended up stopping here!). I like that the tea menu has pictures of the toppings and some of the drinks. I do wish there was a full kiosk or menu board with photos of all the drinks since I really like taking my time deciding on what to order and pictures/visual guides help speed up that process. As for the drinks, the quality of the boba itself was okay, and the tea wasn't really standout (at least my sister's rose oolong). For the brown sugar boba with fresh milk, I kind of wish it had been roasted milk or something to add more complexity, but I mean -- I did order fresh milk, so that's that. Service was good! The employee at the register, who was also making the drinks, was very friendly, helpful, and informative when helping us decide on sweetness and ice levels for our drinks, which I appreciated. There are a few tables inside and outside, but seating is pretty limited. read more

San San Tea House - Outside sign - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

I've been here several times and the drinks are consistently great, but the service at the front needs a little work. Every time I walk in, there's an awkward silence where nobody acknowledges you--even a simple 'be right with you' would go a long way. ​As for the drinks, the cheese cap is a must-try and truly makes the drink! However, I'd skip the banana pudding matcha. It tasted mostly like milk, lacked that matcha punch, and was missing the banana topping shown in the photo. Stick to their other smoothies and you'll be happy! read more

WARNING: Immediate Sickness After Drinking I was craving boba and this spot was the closest well-reviewed option. It's a small shop located in what felt like a slightly sketchy plaza. I initially ordered the Emerald Milk Tea and was pleasantly surprised. The initial flavor was good, and the boba consistency was perfect and it seemed great for a last-minute pick. However, the experience turned extremely negative. About halfway through the cup, I started feeling severely unwell and ultimately ended up vomiting. I am certain the boba was the cause. I hadn't consumed any food for several hours prior, and my sister, who I shared the drink with, told me she stopped drinking it because she started feeling unwell, too. Given the immediate and shared symptoms, I strongly suspect a serious issue with the milk or boba quality, or improper preparation/storage. I hope the owners investigate this immediately. I cannot recommend this place due to the serious health consequences we experienced. read more

We came here for an avocado smoothie with boba last night. The boba pearls were very fresh and still warm in our drink. The drink itself, however, was not good. We asked for 25% sugar and so that meant that the smoothie tasted merely like milk. We didn't taste the avocado and also were disappointed that this probably means the sugar levels is the avocado syrup and that they don't use avocado or the typical condensed milk that I'm used to with these smoothies. Even if they don't use syrup, I don't think that it should have tasted only like milk -- maybe they can be transparent about what they put into the drink and ask the customer whether they even want whole milk and give options to the types of milk. We might come back to try the other drinks but we certainly would not get the avocado smoothie again. I also feel like the sole worker there making 10-15 smoothies in 15 minutes meant the wait was longer than it should be. I also witnessed a customer ahead of me complaining that the menu prices listed were different from what she was actually charged, so I would look at your receipts. In response to the comment posted: I have had plenty of avocado smoothies made of actual avocado and the smoothie I had simply lacked any texture of avocado. So if there was avocado, I didn't taste it and neither did I see it. To suggest I have not had an avocado smoothie before made of avocados is simply untrue. Maybe they put less avocado or use bland avocados? read more

San San Tea House is a pretty small mom boba shop that has limited seating inside and outside of the establishment. When my friend and I went on a boba run we were lucky enough to get there before the rush, but by the time we were in line - I guess it was peak hours! It definitely seems to be a popular choice for this area of San Leandro - for families and kids (especially after school or dinner - making this assumption because I went around 5:30/6PM on a weekday). Despite the line and only having one employee helping out all the customers that early evening I felt like we got pretty good customer service and our drinks were not lacking. In fact we scarfed both of our smoothies down. I'd definitely be open to returning so I can try more drinks and update my review accordingly. **only thing I will mention is that since the shop is small, if you are waiting for your drinks and you're seated or standing outside it can be a little difficult to hear when your drinks are ready so I'd keep your eyes peeled. Thanks again San San Tea House and SYOY! read more

Found this new boba shop in San Leandro and decided to give it a try. My sister got the golden jasmine with cheese foam 50% sweet and I got the strawberry cheese cap 50% sweet. The strawberry cheese cap was very refreshing and the perfect amount of sweetness, but I do wish there was more cheese foam since it was a very thin layer. The golden jasmine with cheese foam was very mediocre and definitely not the best jasmine tea I've had. It tasted super watery and the cheese foam didn't help it either (which it usually does). There is also a 3% credit card surcharge that we didn't know about until after we paid and noticed they wrote a really small sign in faint black letters on the counter to "inform" customers of this. Overall it's a decent boba shop but not sure if I'll come back. read more

Small tea shop with pretty standard options and average quality for boba tea. The quality of the boba was okay and they didn't give me much at all. read more

Pretty small boba shop that's in a small plaza off Williams. There's additional parking in the back. 5/5 service - explained that their teas are generally less sweet and that their focus is more on the teas. Their 100% sweetness is about 50% sweetness at other boba shops. The person working offered to make my drink sweeter if I found it to be too mild, which was nice. Emerald Milk Tea with boba - I loved this one! I got it at 50% sweet which was a little too mild for me so next time will be getting at 75% sweet. The tea flavor was good and the boba pearls were perfectly QQ and with a hint of sweetness which balanced well with the tea. Hokkaido Milk Tea - was a little more floral than I expected but still pretty good. I prefer emerald milk tea though this was still a solid drink Overall this is one of the better boba offerings in SL. They do charge a 3% credit card fee so bring cash if you want to avoid that. They also have a reward program for free drinks. read more

Quality not the same, mango smoothie is not as good as before. More ice and watered down. Sorry I am changing my rating as quality has changed. I asked for no Boba, and there was remnants of Boba on the bottom of my car, which also changed the flavor of the drink Service still good. Ambiance ok. read more

A quick search of nearby boba shops led me to San San. I never would have found it otherwise. It's tucked away in a little plaza and while there is a parking lot, there's few spots. But if you make your way over, you're in for a real treat. I usually go with my standard jasmine milk tea when I'm trying a new place, but I couldn't resist the rose oolong (a close second favorite and hard to find)! I asked for it hot, which the friendly owner said no problem to. The drinks are less sweet than usual, which is my preference since I usually order 25%. I was recommended to go with 50% here and they were right - it was barely sweet. The tea flavor was strong and delicious! In fact, it might be one of the best rose oolong milk teas I've ever had. I think they are new and would love to give my business to a local shop. I will definitely return when I'm in the area. read more

Great little shop not too far from me. Walked there on a weekday afternoon and there was one person waiting for his drink with his little boy. The two people working were really nice and offered suggestions for my first drink with them. I went with the emerald pearl milk tea, which comes with the boba included. The cashier described it as having a pleasant roasted flavor, which I love, so I went with that. I ordered the lowest level of sweetness and she told me that if I preferred sweeter drinks, to order the higher level of sweetness because theirs can tend toward being less sweet. Since I really dislike overly-sweet drinks, I stayed with the lowest level but was happy to hear this. While waiting for my drink, they finished the customer's ahead of me. His son immediately dropped it just outside the store, which they saw, so they instantly started making him a replacement free of charge. Mine came out just a couple minutes later and was delicious. Definitely roasted, not at all too sweet, and the boba was cooked perfectly. It maintained a good chew without being too soft. There's only one size drink here but the cup is a decent size. For $5.59, I got a lot of drink. The owners have also done a nice job of making the shop super cute and welcoming. The menu has a number of drinks, both standard and unique, and they're going to expand their snack menu (per the cashier). Wishing these guys the best and that they continue to be a fixture of this shopping center. read more

​This is the newest and closest boba shop to my house in San Leandro. While there are plenty of similar places in downtown, my wife & I like coming here. My wife will get one of the milk teas (her current favorite is the Hokkaido milk tea), while I'll get one of the matcha drinks (matcha milk tea, strawberry matcha latte or the matcha frappe). Nowadays, I'm careful with my sugar intake. I'll order my drinks with 50% sugar, but they are still sweet enough for me. This shop is located in a small corner strip mall. There are some spots in front of the shop, a few more around the corner in the back of the strip mall, as well as street parking. During the weekends, the shop is moderately busy, but not too bad. There is a school in the neighborhood, so it can get busy in the afternoons during the week. They do have a small surcharge for credit card payments, so bring cash to avoid the surcharge. read more

Love the fast and friendly service. I was in and out with our drinks. Very quiet area with a convenient store next door. This area had parking right in front with no troubles. We appreciate not feeling rushed after arriving before they closed. read more

Expensive and no flavor. I got the banana matcha. Just looks good. No thank you. Won't be back.

Their mango smoothie with cheese foam is delicious. I would definitely return for that drink alone. Their san san signature tea was also very fragrant and refreshing. Price point is fair and comparable to other boba shops. Just a note that they charge a 3% fee for using credit card which I wasn't aware of and was not disclosed to me prior to payment. I saw my total flash $15.xx on the screen and when I got my receipt, I noticed the amount changed to $16.xx read more

I wanted to love this place but just found it okay. I got the Thai Tea slush 50% sweet and my boyfriend got the Tiger milk tea 50% sweet.

Just tried the strawberry matcha latte (with oatmilk). the total came out a little over $7ish. Wow, this is GOOD. The strawberry portion remains throughout the drink. Most matchas, you only taste it for the first few sips, but not here! So if you like it less sweet, let them know! I like my matcha sweet and not too earthy. I also like the packaging, there is a cover on top of the lid, so it's really spill and messy proof. Will definitely be back. What a gem in San Leandro! read more

This teahouse is located in a smaller plaza right by a neighborhood intersection. Easily identifiable with a giant mural in the corner. They have a few boba drinks that are most likely known to be their signatures. I got the purple cloud, it's well sweetened, not too clumpy, just right! Oh and the boba has the chewy soft texture which I believe is the good boba. 9/10 purple space bunny ftw! read more
