Even on a Friday afternoon, I placed my order online and it said about 45 minutes. I was monitoring the pick up times before ordering and it kept going between 30-60 minutes lol, insane. Don't yall work on Fridays?! (I had the day off :D). I get in the store and there were a bunch of orders sitting on the counter, people probably just order and pick up later. There was enough parking somehow. It wasn't too crowded inside, but it was warm like others have said. I got the avocado dragon fruit smoothie and a strawberry daifuku for the wifey. My drink wasn't bad. Going into this I was like... haven't ya'll had Avocado smoothie from any Vietnamese shop before? Like how good could this be. The drink was creamy and sweet enough, so it was good. Not exactly the same as a vietnamese avocado smoothie. I already had something similar to the Avocado signature smoothie from Naisnow and it wasn't for me, which is why I didn't order it here. The Strawberry Daifuku was alright. A little tangy, mochi was nice, but the drink wasn't cold at all. My wife works basically next door, so she can order ahead of time and pick it up on the way home. But definitely not planning to order, drive 25 minutes each way, just to have this.

We came here after hearing about it so much that I finally had to try. Absolutely no regrets…read more This is one of those elevated matcha experiences that sets the bar for all other spots. Here's what we got: **Sunny Side Up Matcha Einspanner $7.75: A vibrant matcha base topped with a dollop of silky whipped cream, finished with a sunny side up 'egg' where the yolk is a sweet mango syrup. This drink had me saying "Oh wow!" after taking the first sip. After the second sip, it was "Was that a really ripe mini chunk of fresh mango?" This was so well executed that it felt effortless. It wasn't overly sweet-- the Matcha and the Mango flavors blended together beautifully yet you could make out the flavors of both. I usually scoff at how expensive drinks are these days but I could justify the price on this. **Black Sesame Coffee Einspanner $7.50: Signature espresso drink with our house-made Black sesame cream with your choice of milk. Another hit. I love Black Sesame and when I can find it, I order. This was also on par with the Sunny Side up because of how distinctly flavorful it was. You can taste the nuttiness of the black sesame seeds. Add in the espresso and it makes for a coffee that you could gulp down. Both of these drinks are dangerous because if it was up to me, I could have probably drank these both in under 5 minutes. Sigh.

After I told a hg that I really enjoy floral tea, she highly recommended Molly Tea!…read more --- D R I N K S --- My favorite combo is the White Champaca Milk tea with a Jasmine Whipped Cream With Pecan top and sago! It sounds like a lot, but it actually works really well together. The White Champaca tea is on the mellow side, the Jasmine whipped cream adds additional floral aroma and extra creaminess, the sago gives texture without overpowering the drink, and the little bits of pecan add a nice surprise crunch. My husband's favorite is the Peach Oolong. I've had my fair share of peach milk teas over the years where they can be too sweet and the peach flavor tastes straight up like chemicals, but this has to be the best peach-flavored tea I've had so far! It has a fruity taste that doesn't overpower the flavor of the tea leaves. When I first visited last year, they had a "Fresh Oat Milk Tea Series", but I'm sad to say that it's not on this location's menu anymore. _______________________________________________________ ---A M B I A N C E -- I'm diggin' the woodsy, warm, Asian-y aesthetic they got going on! Tea and merch are displayed on the walls, and pink is definitely their signature color, so expect to see pops of it here and there in the decor, cups, and to-go bags. This location has a decent amount of chairs and tables, but let me tell you, this place was hella busy back when it was the only Bay Area location. We learned the hard way that the parking lot gets packed. Sometimes you'll get stuck in the super small lot because someone isn't even in a spot -- they just have their car parked with the hazards on while they run in to pick up their drink. Other times, cars are waiting and signaling for a parking spot while other cars are on standby waiting for people to leave after grabbing their drinks. The gas station behind the shop clearly got tired of it too because they put up a bunch of signs saying they'll tow if you park there just to visit Molly Tea. I highly recommend parking down the street near the apartment sidewalks or across the street and taking a little stroll to the store instead. Honestly, it just showed me that no matter how tiny the lot was, people still made the effort to slide through for drank. Fair warning though -- definitely expect to wait and chill. _______________________________________________________ --- S E R V I C E --- I will say, the staff handles the busyness pretty well. Lines are usually at or out the door, and they're receiving online orders simultaneously. There's another boba shop in the Bay that has a similar layout and process as Molly Tea, but that other chain feels like workers on an assembly line with deadpan faces. I feel like the brightness and warmth of Molly Tea is emphasized even more because of the friendly staff and their willingness to help with your order even after it's received.

Ordering is pretty straightforward on their self-service kiosks. On this particular visit, I had their White Champaca Oolong Milk Tea with less ice and 30% sugar. Somehow, they always get it just right in terms of sweetness. The best part is the "three stack straw" which really brings out the taste of the tea. Drinks were being made and served to order minute by minute, and the overall wait time was ~ 15 minutes. While the seating here is comfortable and can be relaxing, make sure to plan ahead, as the sun can be quite the nuisance at the right angles!

I've been to 2 different hey teas and they are constantly busy and I can understand why... the drinks are good (: the lines do go by kind of fast but the wait for the drinks can take up to 30ish mins or so, depending on how busy they are. I tried the Jasmine Pistachio Cloud which I believe is a seasonal drink and it was good. It has Jasmine milk tea, pistachio foam, and topped off with fresh bits of pistachios. Perfect flavors all around and not too sweet. I went with their suggested levels of sweetness. I would recommend and get that drink again. *Video review available on Instagram @helensfoodadventures

My husband and I love the ambiance inside, it smells so good and it's always clean and cutely decorated.

This only comes in a smaller size but if you get Black Sugar Boba Latte and add xreme brûlée it's technically a larger version but $$ it'll cost you, I think it comes out to $9-10 (like I said treat) We do like the curry pizza right next to it as well!
