Note: I won a tastea giveaway on IG so I went to get some boba using the vip cards yay! Since I won two VIP cards, I got the largest size that they had (32 oz) & ordered a Peach me sweetea with rainbow jelly which was so nice and refreshing! Loved the fruits bits and the peachy-ness of the drink. I also got the largest size as well for the Strawberry sensation with honey boba and it's really good. It has a vibrant pink color and the strawberry taste is strong. For some reason, it tastes like captain crunch berry cereal to me lol. I also redeem the mango milk tea sample which came in a tiny cup (so cute!) and it's actually really good. I don't normally ordered fruity flavors when it comes to milk tea specifically, but I might order this again when I come in next time! It tastes like a mango melona yummy. read more

Tastea - Strawberry Sensation Peach Me Sweetea Mango Milk Tea sample - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

After running so many errands and was quite thirsty for something to drink, what's better than milk tea! I was right in the area after getting some baked goods and came to check this out. Clean and refreshing environment, the menu was easy to read. I ordered the Matcha Thai Milk Tea and I'm so glad I did! It was so delicious and creamy. My husband enjoyed his drink as well. Super fruity and lots of fruit bits to chew as your drink. Loved it! They made the drink so fast! I went to use the restroom and once I was out it was done! Mind blown! They got some fast hands there! Definitely would come back here when I'm in the area. 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

Tastea - Hot Matcha Milk Tea, $6 - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

This location is great! I took off one star because the service was slow. There was only one employee taking orders, making drinks and giving out togo orders. The peach me fruit tea is so yummy and refreshing. They put a good amount of fruit inside. I oder mine less ice, medium Stevia and yes top off. My favorite thing about Tastea is the honey boba. The texture and sweetness is perfect! I even ordered double boba this time. The ambiance is good too. They have nice relaxing music playing. They also have a good amount of inside and outside seating. I'll come back again! read more

Tastea is such a dependable boba place with unique flavors and refreshing drinks! Their quality holds up across different stores in the chain! Ordering online is really easy. Wanted to try some new flavors, here are my thoughts on them: Peach me sweetea: a classic snd popular drink and for good reason. I got 0% sweet and it was still sweet enough. Very refreshing! Cantaloupe crush: a good summer drink, got 50% sweet but would get 25% next time. Very fresh ingredients! Ube latte: loved the ube flavor!!! 0% sweet was great! read more

I got the matcha Oreo milk tea a few days ago with boba and it tasted horrendous. I got artificial sweetener so me and my friend were wondering if that's why it tasted off. We went back and requested a new drink - peach me sweet tea which was better, but only by a little bit. It was nice of them to remake a drink though! The boba was hard and not chewy. I've been to this location many times and it's always been good or decent. Not sure what's happening now. We also got the buttload of fries which was fire. Highly recommend the fries. read more

We experienced terrible service. The line was not very long but it took 15 minutes to order since they didn't have anyone taking orders. The boba was also very hard and it wasn't chewy. Unfortunately, we had people serviced before us and it took 15 more minutes to get our order. The ambiance was alright. Overall we are unhappy and will not be returning despite previously being loyal customers. read more

My friends and I came in. We don't have a Tastea near where we live so this was a special treat so I was informed to order something I normally do not. So I was going to order the Lychee Peachee something but guess what? I said screw my friend I'm going to order something I WANT AND so I got the strawberry sensation, a SMOOTHIE. SUCK IT. It was exactly what I ordered. It wasn't super thick as if it was hard to suck through the straw. It had a wonderful consistency, small bite of ice here and there to keep it crunchy and the boba was green! Thankful I am not the protagonist of Green Eggs and Ham and do not have trauma surrounding green foods because the boba was SLAPS. Nice chewy and extremely fresh I could feel the heat from the plastic cup. Perhaps a little feedback is more strawberry flavor but I could feel like it was fresh strawberry. But also it was expensive!!! read more

Tastea - Strawberry sensation with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Pretty disappointed at the tea. We got a peach me sweet tea and it basically just tasted like water, sugar, and some syrup soaked diced fruits. For the price they charge, I expected something better. Two stars because it was a hit day and they have a nice ambiance inside with strong AC. The service is fine. Nowadays the standard for boba and tea is a lot nicer. I'm not sure how tea shops like these can compete. read more

Tastea - Peach me sweet tea aka syrup water - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Tastea is OK. It's not my favorite place to go to for boba/milk tea, but I like this location cause its close to where I live. It's the only boba/milk tea place in the area, so whenever I'm craving tea/milk tea, it's just a drive down the road. The drinks are OK. I usually order the Sunset Peach or Peach Me Sweetea. I have yet to try their boba, so I have no comment. Their milk tea drink are OK as well. Not as "tastea" as I wish it was :( I have had better milk tea elsewhere. They also have food here, or more like snacks? I have had the fries and popcorn chicken. Again, just OK. Overall, Tastea is OK - I know I said this like 5 times. Lol. It's a convenient location near home, thats it. P.S. they have an app, make sure to download to earn points and redeem. You can use app to order for pick up too! read more

Friendly service when you walk in the door w/the Hi's & welcome in. But while we were placing our order, felt a little rush cause it's the anything else every time you place an order for an item,, not sure how I feel about that. Food is alright & tastes just the same as any other boba spot (my opinion) but you get to chose your spicy ness level & for some people, that makes them happy ;)) read more

Tastea reached to my review and suggested subbing the cane sugar for the condensed milk and I went ahead and tried that today. Service: 5/5, Cashier was really kind and patient when I asked for customizations which is really nice since I do feel bad asking for alterations on any drinks. ~Drinks~ * Matcha thai milk tea, sub cane sugar for condensed milk: 4/5, From the looks of it, the drink isn't as green as it was before but that really isn't a big concern for me. However tastewise, it tastes like milk tea with a slight hint of thai tea and I wasn't able to pinpoint the matcha flavor. The drink is yummy but I can't say that it fills in for the matcha thai that we really loved before, although I can see myself going back and ordering it again. I'd also get the lactose free matcha thai but I would order less sweet for myself since it's still okay. * Honeydew milk tea: 3.5/5, I really liked this drink before and it tasted good as well today. Although it did feel a bit dense/thick. read more

Sorry. Customer service went downhill. Is there a change in management? Use to be more accommodating when the drink was not to the liking. I use to go here all the time. Too bad. read more

A great spot for boba and small snacks! They have COVID precautions in place and are only doing online ordering at the moment, so you can order ahead or fairly easily once you get there. I got the Golden milk tea with light sweetness and really loved it -- I tend to like my tea flavor on the strong side (which usually means a bit more bitter for black tea) and this tea was really solid. I might go for the medium sweetness next time, but light was still really good! The boba yummy and chewy as well. My friend got the Karate Chicken and Strawberry Ecsteacy and liked it! read more

I LOVE TASTEA!!!!!! When in San Jose I'll go here whenever I have the chance. Each restaurant is cute and spacious, decorated with things for each season. I love how easy it is to customize your order(I recommend 25% sweetness). The service is always quick and efficient. The employees never have a bad mood or make me feel rushed. Thank you for the amazing experience and yummy boba. read more

Ordered two 32oz Strawberry Matcha drinks for the BOGO today. The order was wrong the first time and the two drinks were different colors the second time they made the drinks. The first time, they added ice, but I requested no ice and for it to be topped off on the app. They then proceeded to remake the drink. After they made the drinks, they made the two drinks in different colors. One was dark green while the other was a mint green color. I didn't have time to have them fix it, so I just left with the drinks. This was not the experience I was hoping for today. read more

I go to place for a simple yet consistently good jasmine milk tea. I love that they have an option for stevia when I'm dieting but still need a boba fix. Hehe read more

Ordered a Thai Milk Tea & Taro Milk Tea to go, and they were okay. I wouldn't say amazing. Taro Milk Tea tasted sooo different from any other taro milk tea I've had in other places. It tasted almost like 'Horlicks', if you know what that tastes like. It was interesting. Not bad, but not what I expected either. Expensive too. Or maybe it's just me feeling that way because.. coming out from my covid shell after a year.. Suddenly, paying $6 + for a single drink felt... weird.. Like I was doing something wrong This is gonna take me awhile to get used to. read more

Tastea will always hold a special place in my heart. Whenever I'm craving something fruity & refreshing, I go here. My go to drink is the peach me sweet tea with honey boba. I also like the adjust my sweetness, which I think it's great that they allow you to do it. Service is friendly & quick! No complaints here! read more

If you like fruity sweet tea, this place is definitely for you. The serving size is the biggest I've ever seen compared to other boba tea places I've been to. 32oz!! Peach Me Sweetea and Lychee Peachee are my fav. You can definitely taste the strawberry and the fruit bits in the Peach Me Sweetea. The lychee flavor and bits are very pronounced in the Lychee Peachee. I wish their Winter Melon tea had an option not to add creamer. I hate dairy and creamer in my tea. They are kind of heavy handed with the sweet so adjust the sweet level accordingly. read more

I don't get milk tea often but I'm obsessed with this place! The first time I came here was on a whim, so I had no idea orders were through an app. The barista was helpful in helping me download the app though. You get a free drink for signing up through the app, so that's a a cool perk. What I love about this place is that they're consistent with their drinks. I ordered the Winter Melon milk tea twice and they were delicious on both occasions. My friend also loved her drink and was pleasantly surprised with the honey boba. I went again today and tried their honeydew MT with almond milk and no sugar. Even with no sugar the honeydew syrup or whatever they use was enough to make the whole drink lightly sweetened, which was perfect for my palette! With COVID, they're only doing orders thru the app, like I mentioned above. There is only 1 party allowed inside the store to pick up drinks and they call you on their speaker system. I felt totally safe coming here and I definitely recommend this place if you'd like to dodge people during the pandemic. read more

My friend and I visited this Tastea location for some boba. We were enjoying our drinks outside when suddenly this woman (I assume to be the manager) sat near us and began scolding a young employee. She was yelling at him very harshly over a small mistake he made while he sat quietly. She made him stay past his shift to do more cleaning. On top of that, this lady took our order and both my friend and I agreed she was blunt and had a stern tone. Overall uneasy vibes. We feel bad for the employees. read more

So when we got in there all the workers just seemed low energy and off. And then the manager lady whoever she was she had crazy lashes and a couple pounds whatever came up to finish the order, she was just blunt and scary like just taking our order. me and my friend were enjoying a convo outside when she pulled a young guy employee to talk, and then we proceeded to hear her basically verbally assault this poor kid and yell all crazy. Don't like this manager and believe the employees deserve better, like they're working for minimum wage can we chill. Wednesday at like 5:30 read more

It's my first time to visit this place and I ordered the Oh lala in medium with less sweet which was perfect if you don't want a super sweet drink. The combination was good, flavorful and refreshing. read more

This location gets busy! They have ample seating. I got the jasmine green tea with milk foam. Lovedddd the foam. :) Staff were nice and my drink was prepared relatively fast (there was a long line), so it wasn't too bad. Just waited a few minutes. I loved the subtle hints of jasmine and the freshness of the tea. The foam was great too. I love a good foam. read more

I love the honey boba here. And my drink usually comes out on point. My boyfriend got the Vietnamese coffee. It was a little bit different from what he is use to.

One of my go-to spots for Boba Tea late night is definitely Tastea. Well it's practically nextdoor and works best when you crave Boba Tea after dinner! Drinks are slightly on the expensive side. Large cups are a good portion size so I don't mind paying tad extra for those. Fresh toppings and great taste! My all time favorites include the Lychee Peache and Jasmine Milk Tea. Also their Karate Chicken is damn good and pairs well with the Milk teas! read more

4.5/5 Their menu is quite extensive so it can get a little overwhelming if you're a Newbie. If you want to make your's and the Cashier's life easier, they have a TOP DRINKS MENU posted right next to the register. That usually always helps me out if I go somewhere I've never been. It's a lot more close to my house than the other locations and that's why I like it. Friendly staff and drinks are made quick. Great location with plenty of parking. MT after hiking/walking at Communication Hills is always nice. read more

Got it half sweet and it was still way too sweet. Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 5/5** The staff that helped us were really friendly. **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** The store was bright and clean! **Price & portion, 2.5/5** A small cup with $1 tip ended up at $7, which is super high for a mediocre cup of tea. **Taste, 2/5** I ordered a mango and passionfruit black tea with longan bits, 50% sweet, and it was way too sweet. It was sweeter than some teas I've had at other places at 100% sweetness. Even after all the ice melted to water it down, it was too overwhelming. read more

I really enjoy this place. Though the menu is small its a quality over quantity thing. It's pricier but you can definitely taste how it's worth the price. The staff is friendly and attentive and have a great sense of urgency. Drinks are out quick with no compromise on quality or taste. Personal favorite is the strawberry ecsteasy, and i love that they offer 0 calorie stevia, so i feel less guilty consuming my favorites. read more

Their teas are super TASTEA!! Love their Bootea Shaker {mango, peach & pineapple tea with black jelly} with regular sweetness and half ice. Their large cups are no joke. Soo worth the price!! Quick and friendly service. Lots of drink options whether you're in the mood for fruity, milk teas, coffee, smoothies, or slushies. Lots of add-on toppings to choose from! They serve food at this location! Fries, popcorn chicken, or shrimp! I loveeeee the karate chicken (comes in 2 sizes). I always get mine in the bigger size with weak sauce and ranch! Yummm! Plenty of parking in this plaza. Located next to Aqui's. *Credit card or apply pay only! read more

Tastea has opened its third San Jose location at Communications Hill. I decided to visit before the Grand Opening, and it was a hot day. I was greeted pleasantly as I entered. I ordered a secret menu item (Mango Berry Blast). The drink was ready in no time. It was refreshing, and it cooled me off on such a hot day. I will definitely be back. read more

I think out of all Tastea locations, I'm most disappointed with this one. I love their Pumpkin Pie Brûlée but it's never consistent. I come back each time in hopes I'll get the exact thing I'm ordering two times in a row but it's funny how that never happens. It's either they forget the nutmeg, there is no brûlée, there is little to no pumpkin flavoring(at full sweet), or no foam. I know, you wonder why I keep coming back to this location if I'm not happy with what I order. My self control is very low when it comes to milk tea. I can't stay away! **update edit** For any of you struggling with crippling anxiety, you know we just accept what we are given and walk away. I still drink my drink even if it's not 100% up to standard. I paid for it so I accept what I am given. Asking the employees to remake my drink usually gets me even more anxious when their facial expression and response is pure rudeness so that is why I leave a review on Yelp in hopes something can change after it's been made aware of. I will still come back to this location because it's the closest to home because I am still willing to support them despite a couple mistakes. read more

Tastea is actually one of our fav spots. My fav drink is the Almond Milk tea. It's nice and thick and full of flavor. We love it so much that we saved up all our reward points to cash in on a jug of this stuff. Another fav drink of mine is the Ooh La La smoothie but I substitute Lychee bits instead of strawberry. It's one of those drinks where you sip and can't stop sipping! The drinks are big so once you down one of these you're gonna most likely need to pee it out. There are so many great drinks that i actually wanna try but I'm one of those people who goes to a place to satisfy my craving for a particular drink which means venturing out to try a different drink is gonna be pretty unlikely. Unless of course, you let me try your drink before you sip it. Note: This review was written during that one year when we had that awful Covid thing. read more
