I came here to satisfy my jasmine milk tea cravings and I WILL be back. I was the only person in the store but my drink came out within like 30 seconds of ordering, no kidding. The jasmine milk tea was perfect, boba was chewy, green, and delish. Cafe was cute and clean inside. NO NOTES! Thank you tastea. read more

I was once a Tastea ride-or-die fan... but these days... it really keeps disappointing me, especially with the tough boba competition in the Bay Area. Honestly, it's not worth it anymore. My favorite honey boba was from here, something about those green pearls were also sweetened perfectly and were chewy! But the past two visits, the boba was HARD and definitely not good anymore. It really ruined the drink. On too of that, I'd order "light sweetl and the drink would still taste 100% to me. Such a bummer how downhill Tastea has fallen. I will not be returning anytime soon. So sad! read more

You enter at the risk of singeing your nose hairs from the stench of bleach or other strong chemical agent. I don't know if it was for cleaning or pest control, but the smell was strong. At first, my friend and I had to walk out because the smell was too strong even while we were just looking at their menu. Later we returned with the knowledge that we needed to breathe through our mouth and make quick drink decisions! Other than the chemical smell, the menu is vast, which is a little overwhelming but they have some interesting combinations. The prices are a tad high for me, with most sitting around $7-8/drink for the regular size. You can customize the ice level and sweetness, and though it didn't matter much because my "low ice" still resulted in a lot of ice, and my friend's "low sweetness" resulted in a super sugary juice drink. Oh well. I loved my mango milk tea with mango chunks though! I'm not sure I'd try Tastea again, but if my nose hairs get overgrown, I would consider it. Jk. I'd return for the mango milktea. read more

Tastea - Tasetea OOH LA LA & it has coconut pineapple and strawberry bites and I also asked for coconut jellys! - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Ordered my drink with no ice, and this is what I got--a cup that isn't even close to full. If ordering no ice means getting significantly less drink while still paying full price, that should be made clear upfront. Pretty disappointing to spend money on a drink and receive what feels like half a cup. Definitely not the experience I expected from Tastea. read more

This isn't my usual location but I stopped by here to pick up a boba drink to share with my son. We ordered the watermelon slushy in the large size which is 32 oz. I just knew looking at the drink that it was mostly ice and not enough juice but I decided to just go with it and didn't think it be gone so quick. My son took about 3 sips and all the liquid was gone. I wasn't even able to have any. It's very disappointing because I paid almost $12 for our drink 32oz but it was more like 6oz of juice and alllll ice. read more

Tastea - Gone in 60 seconds smh - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Rarely do I leave 1-2 star reviews, but this experience left me genuinely disappointed. Order was placed around 6 PM which was right in the middle of peak hours. The fact that the food was this bad really says something. Karate (Popcorn) Chicken ($14) - 3/10 [Spicy Level]: "Me Soo Spicy" - Wasn't spicy at all (for reference, I eat "medium" at Boiling Crab) It honestly felt like a dash of paprika and cayenne. I'll probably go for "On Fire" next time. [Sauce]: "Strong Sauce" - Sweet & spicy and actually saved the dish. I didn't expect much but it gave the chicken the only real flavor it had. [Basil]: "Extra Basil" - I absolutely love basil, so I requested "extra basil" when placing to order. To my surprise, it came with NONE at all! Flavor wise, it was bland and overly salty. Just didn't have the depth or care you'd expect from popcorn chicken. I feel like the five spice seasoning was accidentally left out altogether. I had high hopes for this place as other locations have consistently offered higher quality food. I think I'll pass on ordering from this place again. read more

I'm not sure why this location only has 3.7 stars, but they definitely deserve more! The workers were so nice. I ordered a Thai milk tea with light sugar, regular ice and boba. It was perfect!

Tried new Matcha Blueberry. Taste is good but I feel a bit cheated with the amount being so short without ice, 1/2 to 2/3 full. For a drink almost $10, you'd think they could at least make it minimally ¾ full. Not worth it unless you get it on special, and even then it's questionable based on the special. read more

Tastea is in a quiet spot with a nice, easy parking lot. It's never too crowded, which makes it a good go-to when you don't want to deal with a long wait. The staff can be hit or miss, and they've messed up my order a few times. That said, when they get it right, the drinks are really good and definitely hit the spot. Worth stopping by if you're in the area and craving something refreshing. Just double-check your order before leaving. read more

I don't usually go to this location, but I was in the neighborhood the other day and saw this and decided to get a drink. It was on a weekday and it was completely empty inside. I tried their new pandan latte with lite sweet and it was still very sweet to me. I couldn't taste the pandan too much, but it was still a good and refreshing drink. I ordered on the app and it was ready fast. If I'm in the area again, I will stop in again. read more

Today I went to Tastea for my 3rd time and I love this place and everyone is friendly and welcoming in. I recommend if you haven't tried the Tastea it's a must!! Thank you for the service Tastea!! read more

Walking into Tastea at Comm Hill in San Jose was already a vibe--the place had a fresh, upbeat energy with the perfect mix of music and cozy lighting. But what really made my visit stand out was the amazing service from Ilicio. He greeted me with a warm smile, was super friendly and complimentary, and made the whole ordering experience genuinely pleasant. I went with the Jasmine Milk Tea, and let me just say--it was perfection. Light, floral, and just the right amount of sweetness. It tasted as refreshing as the atmosphere felt. Big shoutout to Ilicio for the great energy and top-tier recommendation. I'll definitely be back, and next time, I'm trying whatever else he suggests! read more

Congrats on your 5 year anniversary! They are offering a promo BOGO but free drink on 3 select flavors only. Classic Milk Tea (added honey boba). Bootie Shaker: Mango, peach and pineapple black tea with a very small amount of black jelly. The service was very nice and friendly. Overall 3.5 stars for today's drinks. read more

Came here on a Friday night around 9 and the store wasn't busy. I ordered a Jasmine MT with crystal boba. I feel like the quality and taste of all Tastea's are consistent so I had no complaints with my drink. My Jasmine MT was flavorful and I had a good amount of crystal boba. The store was clean ! read more

Stopped by for the 5 year celebration! They were doing a promotion for buy any drink/food, receive a free peach me sweet tea/ lychee peachee/ or bootea shaker. I opted for the lychee peachee bc that's one of my favorites! Tried out the new tropical sunrise and it was delicious! It was a blend of mango and watermelon slush so it tasted very similar to the watermelon heaven but with a touch of mango flavor. Overall experience was great. Friendly service and drinks came out quickly! read more

If I'm feeling pretty tired and I'm craving a larger than usual size of coffee, I usually head over to Tastea and this is my usual go to location. My order is usually the 32oz house special coffee with less ice, topped off (extra cost with the extra coffee) with full sweet. It can usually last me a pretty long time and if you're into sweets plus love coffee, this is the one for you. They also have some pretty good snacks, I usually enjoy their popcorn chicken and their fries. Recently they even added rice bowls (popcorn chicken and some rice). The service is pretty quick, tho some days you'll be waiting quite a bit with how busy it gets especially Sunday after church. Inside has some seating but don't really expect to have too much space in there; if anything I see it as a grab and go. Give it a try! read more

This one may be my least favorite locations for various reasons. It is ran by teenagers who are not able to create quality drinks. Bought a drink this past Sunday and not sure when they had made the boba pearls but they were extremely hard and inconsistent in sizes. I'll either get a different topping or go to a different location. My other complaint is for how expensive their drinks are! 20oz drink for $8 + add ons, making it about $10. Yes their drinks are good but def not out of this world. Drinks: 6.5/10 Service: 7.5/10 read more

This update is for service. I come to this Tastea very often, about once a week. In recent months I've unfortunately had less than satisfactory experiences. Some of the staff are quite rude. 9/10 times they do not say hello or even acknowledge us coming in; they talk and laugh loudly with each other while ignoring us. Several times I had to bring to the staff's attention that they got my order wrong. More than once, I ordered boba with my drink and they did not put boba in it. One of the female staff rudely placed my drink on the counter and swiftly turned around and left into the back kitchen without saying anything. No eye contact, no thank you, no have a nice day, and of course no smile. Another time, I got the sea foam jasmine iced tea, and the guy made it so messily that the sea foam was dripping all over the side of the cup and onto the counter. He did not try to clean it until I said something. He hastily wiped it but it was still dirty, so I asked for napkins and he gave me exactly 1 napkin which was not enough. He did not apologize or say a word to me this entire time, and I got sea foam all over my hands. I just visited last night and they were cleaning out the trash. They left the lid of the trash can on the counter where they put people's drinks. I found this very gross and off-putting. I watched and did not observe anyone cleaning/disinfecting the counter afterwards. Also last night, I ordered boba with my drink and they put so little that I ended up asking for a bit more. read more

They have a wide variety of boba and other drinks. I normally get a regular boba no sweet and add a lot of the different add-one. Today I am getting a smoothie. It is quick and easy to order. The staff is helpful. This is a good place so if you are in the area and thirsty, drop by. read more

Always like coming here, but today the service was not good. Store didn't seem busy but I also I understand if there are a lot of online orders. The thing is I see a lot of workers that seems to be joking around and yelling in the back in a playful way. I was waiting in front of the register for about 5 mins with no acknowledgment. Decided to place the order on the app as I sadly figured it would be quicker than waiting at the register. I would usually give this place 5 stars but the fact that there was no acknowledgment by staff that I was waiting in line just didn't rub me the right way. Also on some occasions I'd place an online order for green boba but when I receive, it ends up being regular boba cause they're out. If you want green boba it might be safer to order in store to verify in advance. Love their butloada fries as the seasoning is different than a lot of other places. It's delicious. Would definitely recommend trying this place out, todays review was purely the service level. read more

I think my family likes Tastea as a fancier tea restaurant compared to other boba tea joints. I remember my first time trying Tastea was in 2018 at the North Capitol Avenue location under similar crawl venue. This one at Communications Hill is a tad different. Well, it's post pandemic. Everything supposed to be different. Let me bypass the employee/customer ratio. Service was ok. Food is about the same. There were not many people at the restaurant but they got constant walk-in traffic. Besides, it was freezing cold night. The mural was really pretty, though. I love the highlights of location with well-balanced color tone to accompany the exciting drinks they serve. I ordered The Unknown. Simply because I don't want my tea too sweet and I want fresh fruits as toppings. This drink has chopped longan as fresh fruit but it's not cut to correct size to travel through the straw. I ended up not able to eat any of them while they stuck on the bottom of the cup. I was a little disappointed. read more

I came by this boba shop today to try their tea and ordered a large jasmine milk tea along with some food for pickup around 12:50. When I arrived, the drink itself was pretty good. It was smooth, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweetness. However, what really stood out to me wasn't the drink. I noticed there was only one worker behind the counter, and when I asked if she was alone, she said yes. I was honestly shocked. It was a hot day, and you could clearly see the stress and exhaustion on her face. She had to take orders, make drinks, run back and forth between the front and the back, handle the register, and manage a growing line of customers all by herself. It felt wrong. You'd like to think that companies take care of their workers and don't leave them to handle everything solo--especially during this heat!! read more

The drinks were delicious! Customer service on point! The ambience was very relaxing, clean place, I highly recommend you visit. All my friends and family love it!!! read more

I would give this place a five star, but sometimes it is inconsistent. Drinks may be too sweet at times, while other times it might not be. I have been going to Tastea since my high school days and it has always been a solid boba tea place to go to since it is close by. The best thing about Tastea is the amount of promotions they have when you have their app. You can collect points to redeem various rewards and participate in promotions when they advertise them. Ordering ahead through the app allows you to get your drink nice and quickly if you are in a hurry. The store inside is clean and there is plenty of parking outside. With the amount of deals they have through the app, I would say this boba shop is one worth going to. Thai Tea: Usually the Thai Tea here tastes really good and has great flavor, but there are times, like today, where it is overly sweet. The honey boba always tastes good here and pairs well with any drink of choice. I would recommend getting the Thai Tea less sweet just in case they make it too sweet. read more

This Tastea is located in the Waterford Shopping Center - it is also one of the cuter locations, as they have a mural of their signature dinosaur mascots painted on the wall. Parking may be hit or miss, especially on weekends and weeknights, as this is a busier plaza. My go to drinks is either their Jasmine Milk Tea with honey boba or their Sea Foam Jasmine Iced Tea with honey boba. I came here to redeem my rewards, but I usually do not come to this particular location as much because this is a bit further away, even though it is one of their cuter and more spacious locations. read more

Tastea has always been one of my favorite fruit tea spots. The service is friendly and they are always willing to adjust your drink if you don't enjoy it. I wished there was more seating available at his location especially since it's pretty spacious inside. I recommend ordering online to save time. I got the Mango all the way with 0% sweetness because the drink is already sweet. For their slushy freezes in general, I recommend 0% sweetness. It tasted so refreshing. The drink contains raspberry but I don't really taste it, it mainly just tastes like mango. In general, my favorite tea here is the Peach Me Sweetea with boba. The strawberry and peach bits really add on to the drink. Their matcha strawberry milk tea is also pretty solid here. read more

Despite being Run by teenagers ... Okay, my experience was rushed, I feel like my food should have taken more time to prepare. The smoothie wasn't as icy as I remember it should be like from other Tastea places and the fries were thin and soft with a small crunch from the exterior. The fries should be more thick and crispy. The outside of the store was better to wait for the food than inside. It was raining. Do not tip. read more

One of my favorite tea places. I often go here for boba tea. I like the non dairy options they have.

Hey there, Bill here. I was recently driving around and i had this sudden craving of Boba. And I was happen to be near communication and saw Tastea. Once I stepped in the store I was greeted by a 5'9 worker saying "Welcome in" the worker hospitality and down to earth personality really gave me a welcoming environment. I walked up to the front and it was the same worker who welcomed me in earlier he asked me what kind of drink I liked and I asked I neve read more

This Tastea location is in a plaza near Kampai Sushi and Grill and Subway, with parking available. I came by this location last Sunday, around 2:45 pm to pick up my tea order that I made on the app. I ended up purchasing: Hot Matcha Milk Tea, $6- Prices here are a bit more expensive than the Tastea location I frequent back home in Los Angeles County (specifically in Arcadia). I ordered my drink to be made with zero sweetener (since Tastea drinks tend to be way too sweet. Either their drinks are perfect with no added sweetener since some of their drinks are sweet, like the Peach Me Tea or you can just add in your own sweetener to your liking) and to be made with whole milk. I was really surprised with how hot this drink was, even too hot to hold (I had to have my husband get the drink for me because it was too hot for me to hold). When it was at a temperature I was able to drink (about 15 minutes later), I was rather disappointed with how watery the drink was. Tastea has some major issues with consistency in their drinks, since I have tried numerous of their locations in both north and south California. Honestly, I feel cheated that this drink cost $6 and wouldn't order this again. read more
