3 stars for the cute interior (their coasters are cactuses!). We ordered the kumquat elixir and raspberry dream. As good as the drinks looked, they didn't taste as expected. They weren't as sweet and tasted a little watered down. However, my friend ordered berry merry and it was really good! read more

We found this gem on yelp and we were beyond impressed with everything! Walking in the zen and aura was very relaxing! Very clean and hip with trendy decor all throughout! Staff was friendly and teas were AMAZING! So refreshing and the overall presentation was almost too nice to want to even consume! There is plenty of seating and they even have brain teasers and puzzles all around for you to enjoy over conversation and drinks! There are multiple outlets for laptop and phone charging as well! We were also lucky enough to personally meet the owners! They were very nice and humble! We will be back Jenny! Thanks for a great experience! read more

I seldom write review on yelp, so that I am serious about this. I came in the first day they opens, and surprised about the green tea they made, full of flavor of tea. I do like it, will recommend to any one who like the "real tea flavor". read more

The inside of the store was cute and minimalist perfect for studying! The drinks were really good and had a good selection!

3 visits in so far and I love this place! Definitely try their egg puffs. Original and matcha are the flavors I've tried so far and they taste great! As for drinks, I've only tried the House Milk Tea and it wasn't as sweet as I wanted it to be but other than that the things I've tried so far are good! Also, the ambience is great for some studying or getting work done. They do play music but it's nothing like EDM or the loud type of stuff you hear at other boba shops. They play a lot of Jeff Bernat and other soft music which I love and it's soothing to listen to when reading something. 1/3 times I've gone it was pretty packed but it never got loud enough to the point that I couldn't study here. All in all, this place gets 5 stars. I hope to try more of their hot drinks especially as the weather gets colder. read more

Came thru to get something sweet after eating a savory dinner. Paid a total of $5.75 for their vietnamese coffee (w light ice), waited a tad longer than other boba places and it ended up being good but it didn't particularly stand out to me. I'm not sure if that's normal price out there in SJ but my drink was still smaller than the rest of my friend's drinks, lol I was p sad about it. At least I rly like the aesthetic of this place, their drinks are colorful and it was such a nice day outside so it made the overall experience better. Would still go back (for a different drink) if I was in the area. read more

The cutest & most aesthetically pleasing milk tea shop ever! Not only is the atmosphere calming, their drinks are so good. I haven't had hot milk tea before, but their hot roasted oolong milk tea is the best. I totally recommend this place! read more

Super underrated! We had the lavender lemonade and mango drink and both were really good. It was kinda empty except this one guy studying with his dog. The customer service was also super friendly. ALSO FREE SAMPLE DRINK read more

I love this place. About 2 blocks from Japantown but easy to walk to after grabbing a bite or just because. Great flavors. They sometimes have samples so you can try different flavors. They have hot and cold milk tea but I always go for cold. If you like sweet get the brown sugar crystals in your drink. They also have a points system which keeps me coming back (1 point per drink) and 10 points gets you a free drink. They also occasionally have other deals like BOGO, etc. The people that work here are nice and although there are only about 4 tables I have seen people study here. read more

This place is so cute in design. Simple yet relaxing to hang out. Drinks are unique and while you're at it you should def try the snacks. Came here with mini me for something cold to drink since it's so hot out and we are def going to come back read more

Came here with my girlfriend to try out their Daydream Series. Was told that they don't make the drinks anymore. Didn't ask for further explanation as to why they don't serve it. We drove 45 minutes just to try it out and ended up sharing a drink called Cucumber Breeze. The tea was watered down and the crystal boba was what we settled for since they had ran out of regular boba. One star for the disappointing outcome of the visit. Also, parking in the area can be challenging. Mostly street parking so keep that in mind as well! read more

Sinceretea is my closest tea shop - so they will always get my business. They have a menu full of the good stand-by's and IG ready ones, if that's your thing. While everything is good, it takes a long ass time. There's always a 10 minute wait, even if you're the only one in there - and if you order a mochi puff - good luck. My favorite go-to drink was seasonal - so I was forced to try the other drinks. All of them were excellent - the tea isn't bitter and you can customize the sweetness. read more

This place open nearby and I was excited to give it a try, but it was kind of disappointing. First Thing: $10 minimum for credit card is pretty ridiculous for a tea house, are we living in the stone age? Drink: I ordered the house milk tea and the roasted oolong milk tea. The house milk tea was below average, kind of bland. The roasted oolong was a bit better, I can taste a bit of the tea, but still can be improved (isn't the point of roasted tea is that they are stronger?). Service: They seem to be nice and sincere. Environment: The store was kind of cool, modern, and well decorated, almost kind of sad that this is probably the best thing about the place? Anyway, I hope they'll improve over the future, since this is a tea house that's close by... read more

New café opening in Japantown; soft opening this weekend and official opening next weekend. Peeked in to check out new place and met owner, Jenny. Such a modern & bright place. They have herbal teas, standard boba drinks, yogurt tea and coffee too! It was a warm day so we sampled their recommended teas: Cucumber Breeze & Citrus Splash...so refreshing and yummy! Look forward to trying out their other flavors :). read more

Saw the high rating on Yelp and decided to give this place a shot. We arrived 10 minutes before closing and they had already ran out of tapioca pearls. That part sucked. The store is very nice and clean, wall posters and signage excellent. My drink was just so-so. I had the Berry Merry and I thought it was just ok... meaning 7 out of 10. read more

I really like this place: teas with interesting twists, clean atmosphere, friendly staff. Our new favorite tea place. read more

Get the berry in love drink. It's the perfect sweetness between milk, strawberry, and boba. The drink itself comes with housemade rose jelly, but personally, I got honey boba because I'm that type of person. Anyways, the drink wasn't too sweet and I appreciate how there's like fresh strawberry or strawberry jam ( I believe) as opposed to syrup. It tastes less sweet and more realistic. Also, props to the cashier because she was very polite and helpful in explaining the different drinks since I hadn't been here in a long time. :) read more

This place is very close to where I live, which is great since I can walk over to get my fix when I need one. I ordered the taro milik tea which I found had a more natural flavor than other places - I do agree with other reviews that it may taste a bit watery, but it may be just that they aren't using as much sugar in their drinks. The boba is pretty good. They also had a sample of one of their teas - I forget if it was a limited time only or or a regular tea off their menu - but I liked that I got to try something I wouldn't want to order without knowing if I'd like it. Overall a decent tea place - I'd be interested to try some of their specialty drinks sometime. read more

It was my first time coming here and I got the Berry Merry! I thought I should try something new because I always get milk tea whenever I want boba. This time, I decided to get Berry Merry from the special tea section. It only comes in a 24 oz cups which kind of sucks because I wanted a smaller cup, but it's okay! I adjusted my sweetness to 25% instead of leaving it 50%. I also substituted the strawberry popping boba to regular boba. I know I don't like popping boba as much so I'm glad they were able to change it for me. I also ordered a Mochi Egg Puffs! I thought my drink was pretty good! It was light and wasn't heavy. The fruit flavor wasn't too strong so I was a little bit bummed, but I was also kind of glad. I had drinks where the fruit flavor was super strong and sugary even though I had adjusted the sweetness. I thought this drink was about right for me. The boba wasn't super chewy, but I'm not sure if that was due to the drink being cold so my boba got slightly hard. I did enjoy the drink! I'm glad I got 25% instead of 50% because I think 50% would be too sweet for me. I was able to drink the whole thing. The Mochi Egg Puffs was really good!! I would definitely go back and get a Mochi Egg Puffs again! I got the original flavor one and it was really good! It was fresh, warm, and the mochi was chewy! It was a really good snack and I'm glad I ordered it. Next time, I want to try the other flavors! If you are debating to get the Mochi Egg Puffs, I would definitely recommend trying it! Hopefully, it's as good as the one I got when I went. It did take a little bit of time to make, so prepare to wait a bit for it. It was worth it though. The price was alright - a bit expensive, I felt like it's the same price as other boba places. I don't remember the price but I think the special drinks was about $5.75ish for a 24oz drink and the Mochi Egg Puffs was about $6.00. The service was great and they were friendly! I had no issues with them at all. Overall: Food: 5/5 - the Mochi Egg Puffs was good! It was fresh, chewy, and like a waffle! Would get this again! Drinks: 5/5 - i like the special drink I got! It was nice and calming. It wasn't super sweet or overwhelming. It was about right. Price: 4/5 - the price was alright. I felt like it was a bit expensive, but I think most boba places are around this price now. I was hoping the Mochi Egg Puffs would be about 5 bucks instead of around 6 bucks. It was good so I would probably get it again. Service: 5/5 - they were nice and friendly. They were able to substitute my popping boba with regular boba. They were also nice to fix my sister's drink. She tried popping boba for the first time and personally didn't like it so she asked if she can swap out the popping boba with regular boba. They were nice enough to do that and I'm happy that they were able to change it for her. Really great customer service! Thank you. I would recommend this place if you are nearby! Mochi Egg Puffs and the drinks are pretty good here. They have great customer service! Slightly bummed that they don't use five star anymore. I think they just switched over to square or something. read more

Spotted this new place in my neighborhood. Always looking for a nearby "go to" place for a refreshing drink. Nice girl helped me out on the various drinks. I went with the Kumquat Elixir. Good stuff. I will definitely revisit and try out the other teas. You can actually buy a To Go tea container/dispenser that can get you 10 glasses of tea. read more

I ordered their special drink kumquat elixir and seasonal drink (Logan something ). Two drinks are really good. They taste flavorful, fruity and scrumptious! I bought the tea pot set and really nice and beautiful. I found the cup was broken after I change it and the service is nice! This is really nice shop. read more

Love at first sight (& sip). Ordered the merry berry and got the mango tea as my free tea for the buy one get one free deal that's going on! During my short wait for my drinks I just looked around and fell in love with the vibes of this place-it's very clean and bright inside, refreshing really. They have little drink floaties and photo-booth accessories for cute photo ops, which their drinks definitely deserve! My SO ordered the raspberry tea, and it fluoresces this really pretty pink-how could you not snap that? Taste wise the tea I ordered-Merry berry- was also a delight, just the right amount of sweetness, without the really artificial taste I often come across in flavored teas. Their boba is a pleasant complement to the tea, soft and chewy. To top it off the staff is super friendly! Would definitely come here again; actually, I'm planning on becoming a regular c: read more

This is such a cute place and it's a very convenient location, but it's outrageously expensive! Most of the tea here cost about $6 and they're good, but not amazing considering the plethora of tea shops in the area. That being said, if it's nearby and you're not up to drive somewhere else further away, it's a nice place to stop for fruity teas. read more

This was a nice little spot, but they do not have a big menu. I got the double dose, with boba and coffee jelly. I didn't like the coffee jelly as it was just big chunks of jelly floating around and didn't go into the straw. Not sure if I'll go there again, but I wouldn't order the same thing if I did. read more

This is my all time favorite boba place and I'm kind of a snob about the boba! I also like Boba Guys, Boba Bliss (in San Ramon) and Teaspoon but Sinceretea is the BEST!! I love that they use fresh brewed tea and real juice and purées and offer inventive flavor combinations (hello rose + guava in the "Pink Lady") as well as seasonal specials. If you haven't had their house made coconut jelly it's soft and fresh. I hate fakey tea powders and syrup flavorings- no thanks! I'll drive the 20 minutes to get boba here rather than go to the subpar places close to me. And on top of the superior Boba, they have highly addictive Mochi egg puffs (like a Belgian waffle and Mochi had a baby). After you have these you can't go back to regular waffles at the other Boba places! read more

I've always wanted to try this place and now that I have, I'm so happy to say that I LOVE it! Rose teas are my fav and I tried their dreamy rose which tasted so yummy!

Very hard to find parking on the side of the road. The interior of the building was very nice. This seems like a good place to study. I had the house milk tea. Surprisingly they charged extra for boba. The milk tea wasnt all that special. I did not appreciate them filling my drink half full with ice when a shaker was visible. read more

I really love the rose tea with pearls and just beware it has a lot of caffeine. What really is great about this place is that it's more of a chill hang out rather than club atmosphere like such places as Pekoe. Also the decorations of cactuses are really cute and aesthetic if you're into adding things on your Instagram feed. Anyways check it out!! I'm sure you will love it read more
