    Mangonada
    Lindsay N.

    I ordered a mangonada and a bacon burrito and my husband got an americano. I haven't had a good mangonada since I've moved up to the Bay Area but this was one of the best ones I've ever had, even over SoCal spots. Reminded me of frutería places I would go to in SD. The burrito was also one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had, it's not super large but it packs a ton of flavor (que sabroso)! Also, my husband usually never comments on his coffee because he just drinks it black but he said it was one of the better ones he's had in awhile. The girl who took our order and brought out our food and drinks was super sweet and kind. This is definitely a hole in the wall but a total gem.

    Mini pancakes are amazing and don't feel super heavy. They are so cute.. i had it with strawberries, nutella, and lechera

    Dragon fruit paradise
    Kelley T.

    Wanted to try this place as it was one of the shops I haven't visited in the area. The shop itself is very nice and would have been a great place to study and get some work done. I ordered a dragon fruit paradise with 50 sweet, less ice. The cashier was very nice and got my drink to me pretty quickly. My first reaction to the drink was that it wasn't too sweet, which is good. But as I was tasting it more, I couldn't really tell what the flavors were. I did not taste any dragon fruit, I could see the strawberry pulp, but couldn't really taste it, and could kinda make out pomegranate. I gotta say, it was kinda mediocre at best but still gets the job done. It was refreshing and allowed me to make it home after work. One thing that kinda rubbed me the wrong way is that there was a 22 cent non cash fee (which they don't explicitly tell you about) and the receipt said the drink was $5.50 but the menu said $5. I didn't get any topping, and maybe it could be tax, but tax would have made it ~5.45. I wasn't gonna fight for these extra cents, but still kinda off putting. Overall, very cute shop with what seems to be good food option, but the drink I got was alright.

    Strawberry and banana crepe

    A nice and relaxed ambiance that is enjoyable. Came here on my birthday and the workers were super nice and attentive and even wrote a happy birthday message on my crepe and my strawberry horchata drink was a great recommendation from the workers (crepe was really good!). Highly recommend this spot! Will be coming back to try more items

    I got the House Crepe and Strawberry Horchata. The House Crepe was okay. It was nice having a lot of ingredients in the Crepe, filled with Chicken, Turkey, Tomatoes, Spinich, Pesto, and Swiss Cheese. Although, it didn't have enough Pesto that you barely tasted it and the Turkey was just deli sliced Turkey. Also, the Powdered Sugar that the Crepe was topped with gave it a little of a weird taste. The Strawberry Horchata was a weird combination of Pureed Strawberry and Cinnamon. I got that one because people recommended this one but it just a weird combination that should not happen in drink form. Overall, the Crepe was okay, but the drink was horrible. Never getting that one again.

    Strawberry Matcha

    Amazing place to eat, drink, and work. The WiFi here is really fast and there's not too many people who stay, so it's the perfect place to work or study. The cafe itself is pretty unassuming. It seems to be a mix between a boba shop and a cafe with sandwiches and crepes, but don't sleep on what they have to offer. The drinks are delicious. The strawberry matcha drink they have is probably one of the most aesthetic drinks I've seen in awhile. I've also tried their lychee tea as well and it was very refreshing and the sweetness was adjusted really well for me, the kind of guy who always requests 25% sugar. The crepe was a bit pricey, and when I saw it I was a bit disappointed, but once I cut into it, WOW! There was so much chicken and cheese that it was practically overflowing. The flavor was great and the chipotle mayo on the side complemented it well. In Redwood City, this place is my go-to for boba, late lunch, and working.

    Overcharged for a savory crepe because the "price has been changed" even though it wasn't reflected on their menu. Bad business practice.

Service is fast. Not a lot of seating inside, but there are a couple additional small tables for 2-4 people outside on the patio. Chose the cheapest item on the menu, which was the taro ube sago for $7.95 before tax. Honestly, it's pretty hard to mess up taro ube sago, so at best, I'd say it only meets the standard. It was more of a dessert soup than a pudding, which is what I expected. Serving size definitely way too small for the portion amount, even if you say the glass jar itself costs ~$2 (and that feels like a generous estimate). I've made an entire pot of taro sago that served 15 people that cost about $8 in raw ingredients. Personally don't see the value in coming back, but if you're looking for Chinese desserts in a pinch, then this place does the job.

    I spend wayyyy too much money on boba and Kung Fu Tea is definitely not helping my addiction!…read more I've been to other stores years ago and thought their drinks were just okay, but I'm glad I gave it another shot. We got their passion fruit green tea and Thai iced tea, both 30% sugar and light ice. The Thai iced tea has that nice toasty flavor and is suuuuper easy to drink and their passion fruit is so refreshing. What stands out to me the most is their BOBA!!!!! It has the perfect chew imo and the drink to boba ratio is very balanced. I would just eat a full cup of their boba if I could (I shouldn't). Aside from their yummy drinks, the people working there are always friendly and the store is very clean! Just be aware that parking can be a challenge and that there are no tables and chairs. Total: ~$13-14 for 2 drinks

They have lots of cute trinkets, stuffies for sale and claw machines to play while waiting which was a nice touch. The store feels clean and bright, not stuffy or sticky like many bbt places. As for the bingsu, it was very good!! They packed it up with a pull tab can lid and was still cold when we got home. Loaded with all the toppings- fruit, egg pudding, red bean, herbal jelly, all the Asian dessert yums. Will be back!!

There's not much in terms of ambiance, as it seems that it's expected you take your drink to go. I went with the jasmine matcha. I liked that there was an option for oat milk without any surcharge. Even though there was only one worker, my drink was made quickly. However, it was also the middle of the day on a weekday, so I was one of only two patrons. I'm not sure what matcha they use at Tea Hut, but I liked the flavor, and the jasmine tea was nice and florally too. Overall it was a well-balanced drink and quite refreshing for the unseasonably warm March day. I will be back to try other drinks if I'm ever in the area again.
