    When we arrived, the kiosks had a little notification that it would take 1hr+ for our drinks to be prepared. I would definitely keep that in mind that this is a pretty busy place, but I also felt that the wait wasn't as long as estimated. I saw this was a popular place for durian or smoothie-esque drinks. However, I wanted to try other items which was a milk tea and the avocado coffee. I definitely would not recommend these drinks. The tea was not flavorful, and the avocado coffee was okay. This is also taking into the account the size and price of the drinks, which definitely makes it not worth it. I would try to come again to get a more popular menu item.

    Rich Avocado Smoothie & Cheezo Pink Peach ($9.49)
    Rachel L.

    I got the Cheezo Pink Peach. The peach flavor was super strong without tasting overly artificial, and they put very generous amounts of peach. The cheese foam was actually super cheesy but I enjoyed it a ton. My friend's avocado drink was so good!!! Would get that next time. I loved the oat boba in side. The only thing is this place is soooo expensive. Average of $9-10 per drink, which makes this place not a casual or easy spot to return to. The wait was insane on a Thursday around 12:30PM, but I've heard it's been worse. Took about an hour to get our drinks because there were over 100 drinks ahead of us. Luckily the shop itself wasn't crowded as I think people left and then came back. Overall: 4.4/5

    Shu Shia finally fixed their AC after so long. The store still smells like durian, but that's expected given their durian drinks. Drinks are still tasty but the wait takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an 1.5 hours. There are also extra fees to order on their website in comparison to in person eventhough it is via the same platform. Mango Avocado Twist is the only drink that allows the oat popping boba addon. You'll need to mix the layers for sure. After all this time, Strawberry Daifuku Paradise still has the memorable sweet silky tofu. Will be back soon to enjoy some delicious fruit drinks.

    Strawberry Avocado Smoothie, Signature Avocado Smoothie with Chia Seed
    Ashlee L.

    I was really craving a smoothie after hitting the gym, so I finally caved and tried Shu Shia after eyeing it for like a year! I got the Strawberry Avocado smoothie because I think that's one of their most popular drinks. It was surprisingly really good, but probably in a different way than you think. The avocado and coconut yogurt made it sooo creamy and almost too creamy, but the strawberry balanced it back out so well. It wasn't too sweet! It tasted healthy for sure. The chia seed and oat popping boba were also really yummy toppings with the same avocado smoothie that my mom got. They have sooo many orders even around dinner time on a weekday, but it honestly wasn't too long of a wait (~10-15 mins). I think a lot of them might be online/delivery orders because there weren't that many people in store. They have a good amount of seating inside.

    See how many orders they had at 3 pm on a Friday

    If you like healthier fruit, avocado, coconut smoothies, this is your place! If you like stronger milk tea and boba, it is perhaps not. I love that you bc an do 0% sugar for almost every single drink, and do a $0.50 monk fruit option. But take note, monk fruit is expensive and barely sweet so it won't add much sweetness at all. Order your drink online ahead too; because there's almost always a 15-40 minute wait, especially on a warm day.

    There's almost always an hour+ wait here, so I definitely recommend ordering online ahead of time. I live nearby, so I just placed my order in-store and came back about an hour later to pick it up. I ordered the Yumberry Yogurt Drink, Peach Gum Drink, and Grape Yogurt Drink. I got all of them at 30% sweetness, and they were still pretty sweet, so I'd recommend ordering them with even less sugar if you prefer drinks that aren't overly sweet. Even though they're always busy with orders, it wasn't crowded inside. I was able to find a seat since most people just grab their drinks and leave. The drinks are very fruit-forward and taste incredibly fresh and high quality. If you enjoy fruity drinks, this place is definitely worth trying. My favorite was the Yumberry Yogurt Drink because it was so unique--I've never had anything quite like it before. It reminded me a bit of a mulberry drink with a creamy yogurt twist, and I'd definitely order it again.

    We arrived just two minutes before opening, and there was already a line forming outside. Fortunately, it moved quickly and we received our drinks shortly after ordering. We tried the Avocado Dragon Fruit Dream and the Yogurt Mulberry Breeze, both of which were delicious. The avocado drink, which includes kale and yogurt, is quite filling; we opted for 0% sugar, and the natural sweetness from the dragon fruit and yogurt was perfect. The mulberry drink was incredibly refreshing with a subtle tea aftertaste that was very palatable. Even at 0% sugar, the mulberries provided a pleasant, natural sweetness.

    I have driven across town in peak traffic just to get their avocado drink. Their drinks will keep you full for the whole day! If you like durian, they have that too! Make sure to order online or else you will be waiting for a very long time. I highly recommend going here and their bags are reusable!

    Yummmy! Love a good avocado smoothie and when you pair it with oat popping boba, 10/10. I know it doesn't work this way but I feel healthier drinking these drinks and yes, even when I get double popping boba . I don't make the rules. My go to is the classic avocado but I've also had the strawberry avocado. Strawberry was a little sour for me but still ok. Can't wait to try other flavors!

    Yogurt Yumberry Breeze, Durian Blossom
    Jen P.

    When you first walk in you are greeted by a punch of durian smell, which to me is delicious. But i came on friday around 8:20 but didnt get our drinks until 8:40 so about 20 min wait. The yogurt drink was tart and sour due to the real fruits being used but overall 8/10, the durian drink was a tad bit too strong and durian is already an overpowering flavor 7/10.

    I recently noticed that Shu Shia, a new drink shop in San Jose, has been getting a lot of attention, so I decided to stop by and give it a try. It's quite different from a typical boba shop, focusing more on fruit-based and creative specialty drinks, with several unique combinations that you don't see very often. This visit, I ordered the Avocado Snow Ice drink, the signature milk tea, and a durian drink. The avocado drink was probably the biggest surprise of the day. It tasted like real avocado rather than artificial flavoring, with a rich and creamy texture. The grains and seeds at the bottom added an interesting layer of texture, making it feel more like a dessert than a drink. The signature milk tea had a noticeable tea flavor and wasn't overly sweet, making it easy to enjoy. As for the durian drink, it delivered exactly what durian lovers would hope for--strong aroma, rich flavor, and a texture similar to a durian milkshake. The packaging also deserves a mention. The designs are distinctive and eye-catching, giving the brand a unique identity and making the drinks great for photos as well. Prices are a bit higher than your average boba shop, but the quality of ingredients and creativity behind the menu make it feel justified. After trying boba and tea shops for years, it's refreshing to find a place that offers something genuinely different. Not every drink will be everyone's favorite, but the menu is memorable enough to make you want to come back and explore more. Overall, a solid first visit, and I'll definitely be back to try some of their other specialties.

    5/5 I am a big fan of their avocado smoothies and durian milk tea. I would happily drive for an hour round trip just to bought 3 drinks for myself and 1 drink for my husband. Their drinks are just that good. I never finished my milk tea from different places; however, I always finished their first drink on the way home and start second drink once I get home. Save the third drink for next day. I would recommend all of their avocado smoothies and taro drink. If you like durian, please choose durian milk tea. Also, i like their Yunan Olive Lemon Refresher for hot day. My only complaint is sometimes they closed their online order when they get too busy, and I am driving from far distance, so I really do not like to wait for another 1 hour for getting my drink done. All in all, if you are looking for high-quality and healthy drink, choose Shu Shia.

    Saw a video on TikTok about the strawberry daifuku drink from Shu Shia so went to go try it on a Friday in February around 8pm. Store was fairly busy with limited indoor seating available. We ordered on the kiosk - I got the Strawberry Daifuku Paradise and my friend got the Signature Avocado Smoothie, and we got a text about 20 minutes later that our drinks were ready. Strawberry Daifuku Paradise (3.5/5): Got it with 100% sweetness but it wasn't very sweet and the strawberry flavor was subtle. Mochi texture was good. I think fresh strawberry pieces would have added a different texture and enhanced the drink Signature Avocado Smoothie (3/5): Tried my friend's drink and it mostly tasted like yogurt - it felt like something we could make at home. The toppings were interesting, but it felt like there was a bit too much going on with the chia seeds and oat boba. Overall, Shu Shia has unique drinks but they are a bit pricey and flavor wise, I was a bit underwhelmed. I don't think I would return

Of their drinks on the menu, white champaca, white champaca oolong, dancong, white champaca matcha are the top drinks I cycle through. Although they recommend 70%, I actually prefer 30% sweetness, less ice. Truly brings out the tea flavor. This location had a new drink Camellia during the LNY. However, I have not seen it on the menu since March. Hopefully they'll bring it back. They now have order online via their website (chowbus), and I recently learned that they have an app. This makes ordering drinks at this location easy since it is located in corner strip mall with minimal parking.

Molly Tea recently got into some legal trouble with Louis Vuitton in China over its four-petal floral logo. LV won the case, and Molly Tea was ordered to pay about RMB 10.3 million. Molly Tea plans to appeal. Anyway, I actually really like the tea here. The jasmine flavor comes through nicely, and I like that the sweetness isn't overpowering. Definitely a nice milk tea spot in Sunnyvale!

They give you the option to put double matcha (for the honey matcha latte) which is a plus! The double shot of matcha and the honey pairs really well together. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and a perfect amount of matcha to make it taste rich without being bitter. The strawberry matcha latte has strawberry puree and strawberry bits which makes it taste really sweet. It's a really good contrast of flavors and an overall solid strawberry matcha latte. They also updated the self-ordering kiosk with 2 instead of one now, so there's barely any lines now compared to when they first opened. The drinks are a lot quicker so you don't have to wait too long. There's also no seats inside but there's plenty of waiting space on the outside patio! Overall I would highly recommend this place for matcha lovers. Their matcha is super rich in flavor and they have a lot of options. Sometimes, they also have matcha powder in stock too! The spot is also right off of 280 so it's pretty convenient.

My first experience was pretty mid because the ceremonial matcha latte was VERY strong and bitter. I couldn't finish it and it made me super jittery. After coming back a few more times though, I found a couple things I really liked. The Crème Brûlée Matcha was delicious. I finished the entire drink. You can't change the sweetness level, which is unfortunate, but their recommended sweetness actually balanced the stronger matcha really well. The ice cream is probably the best thing here. Super creamy, perfectly sweet and really well blended. I would honestly come back just for the ice cream. The strawberry matcha latte was pretty unmemorable to me, and the hojicha was also extremely bitter. Service was good. The barista was kind and helpful, which I appreciated. You order through a kiosk, so there isn't a ton of interaction overall. When I first came around their opening, there was basically no line. After they started getting more hype, the lines became longer and longer. I think it's worth trying, but personally I wouldn't wait in a huge line for it. Overall, the matcha itself tastes authentic and is prepared well, but some drinks are just too bitter for my preference. My recommendations: the ice cream or Crème Brûlée Matcha. Those were easily the standouts for me.
