Even on a cold and wet dreary day like today, in Silicon Valley, I found myself craving a fruity iced tea today. Not all bad though, since it gave me a reason to finally give Taste Tea a try, which has been on my mental list for a while now. As a heads up, it's a bit tricky to find. It's tucked inside a mini-mall​ in between Five Guys and Pizza My Heart. Just having this intel will probably save you 5 minutes at least. I appreciated that the cashier was very helpful with my indecisiveness and answered my many questions on my first visit. I finally decided on the 32 oz. "Great White", which was made of peach white iced tea, and added extra fruit bits of peach and lychee boba. I really liked the low caffeinated option of a white tea, since the majority of Asian iced tea drinks are made with black teas, which are highly caffeinated (I don't even drink a drop of coffee!), or green teas, which I'm not a huge fan of over ice. Taste Tea is a pretty small spot with only just four tables that each seats four. I did get the sense that the place was designed and configured to deter customers from lingering​ since there's no wi-fi and only metal stool-seating with obviously no backing. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my Great White so much that I'd easily return here, especially in the summer, for this refreshing iced tea! read more

Love going here for the matcha Thai milk tea, I just hope they make my drink on a clean and sanitized surface. My advice as well: I always get less sweet in all boba spots I go too. Although their "less sweet" is like 0% sweetened. read more

Tastea - Dirty area where the boba's made - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

First time here today. I just ordered a classic hot tea with honey boba because I was not feeling that well. I needed something hot and soothing. It did not disappoint. First sip was satisfying enough. They do have colorful bobas which I'm still undecided if I like or not... My friend ordered Salted Cream Jasmine Tea, which I will try next time when I'm feeling better. The place is pretty neat and new. I like the set up for just casual hang out. I wish they offer side snacks too. read more

came in twice this week, great service! And the taro milk tea is definitely not their best drink. I've tried different varieties since my last visit, and this for sure is a great boba spot ! Friendly service, clean setting, great flavors, and fast service. Most definitely, I will be coming here. Keep up the good work! Strawberry sensation, honeydew, and taro smoothie are currently my favorites. read more

Welcome to SV, Tastea! Had Tastea once in Garden Grove and have been too lazy to drive to SJ. Now I don't have to :) Grand opening is today, 10/12. I went in yesterday for soft opening. No line and 20% off, score. I ordered the matcha Thai milk tea w/ boba. It was fine, but I prefer my matcha and Thai tea separate. Next time I'll stick with my usual order. Located in between Five Guys and Pizza My Heart. They also had samples of Thai and jasmine tea which was yummy. The layout is kinda weird with the pickup window closer to the door and cashier at the other end. Hope they have a rewards system set up soon. Also, please sell those reusable boba straws to help reduce waste! read more

I've been coming here frequently for the last few months. Tastea has become one of my favorite places for the following reasons. 1. Zero calorie sweetener options 2. Being able to adjust the sweetness level 3. Fruit teas with fruit chunks that are delicious 4. Frequent specials for drinks like buy one get one free I would highly recommend the House Special coffee with sea foam. It is soooo good. read more

I was hoping that Tastea would be a good Sunnyvale milk tea spot. Sadly, it fell very short. I got the matcha milk tea with egg pudding. I got it lite sweet and regular ice. It was absolutely awful. Whatever sweetener, they used left a bad taste and I barely could taste any matcha. I tried to drink it but it tasted very weird. The egg pudding was 2 stars on its own as well. Perhaps, ordering a fruit drink is the best way to go. I won't be coming back here though. -Emily , I'll consider coming back. Thanks for your response! read more

Tastea - Cute Sign Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Tastea is located in Sunnyvale. I heard their latest location was in Soft Opening phase, so I headed over to check them out. They had a media day the day before, so when I went it was relatively quiet. The staff were friendly and accommodating as I decided to order off their secret menu: Mango Berry Blast with Aloe Vera. While waiting, I looked over the interior, which was clean and spacious. My drink was ready in no time. It was refreshing and tasty. As I headed outside, I noticed lots of outdoor seating. I'll be back again. read more

I wanted to go to their grand opening but when I saw the line I thought it wasn't worth it... I was wrong! I was finally able to go to this place last week and had the match milk tea with oat milk. Their matcha tasted soooo amazing with the oat milk! Their boba is colored green which is pretty cool and gnarly. Their pricing is a bit tad higher than other milk tea places, but I'm guessing with how good their milk teas taste, that's the reason why? Their employees are super nice and friendly! They greeted me and even said goodbye as I walked out! I will definitely go back to this place with my boyfriend next time! read more

Yikes! Not the best. Adore the oat milk option, but the boba itself is subpar. Taro Milk Tea w/ Oat Milk & Honey Boba (75% sugar & no ice): Zero taro flavor. My order produced something of a sweetened oat milk laden with overcooked pearls :/ My note about ice seemed to be disregarded (see photo. lol). Though generously dished, the boba itself was pulpy and entirely flavorless. Charming & tidy interior. Lovely staff. I can give credit for that! Surprised at the high ratings, especially with so many competitors in South Bay... I'm assuming that their specialty/fruit teas are less disappointing. Probably wouldn't return when taro is a boba shop essential. At least it wasn't tinged neon purple as countless other spots do! read more

Great drinks! Fast Service! Intimate ambiance! Their O'la La is the bomb and I always get a 32oz! The staff generally friendly and the drinks always well made. What more can u ask for! read more

Lots of rewards and ways to earn via their loyalty program, and they have the huge jumbo sized drinks, plus a variety of coffee/tea options. Location is a bit further than I would normally trek for my boba cravings, but if I was in the area, I would consider coming here. Tea flavor was solid and as mentioned before, they have jumbo sized cups so when you really need the extra hit, you can opt for that :) Drinks tend to run sweeter than my norm, so adjust down to account for that. Staff was very friendly and quick to help us out. They also have a mobile app so you can place your order ahead of time and just walk in to pick up. Parking is easy because it is located inside a huge plaza. Inside there is only enough room for the boba counter and a line to order, so any seating will be outside, or takeout only. read more

Everything was delicious! very customizable! I wish they had more caffeine free options esp the tarp milk tea and other milk teas though. also they used to do an ombre effect for the matcha coffee not sure why they stopped? read more

Tastea has been my go to for giant servings of teas and snacks; however, I was thoroughly disappointed in this location. I waited in the store for 5 minutes, and no one was available at the register. No snacks offered at this location. Pros: Order on the app (might be the only way you can get your order in). Cons: Less sweet is still too sweet for my taste. No snacks. Lack of service unless placing an order on the app. read more

Tastea was a big part of my childhood growing up in SoCal and now its here. So hows their drinks? Watermelon Heaven $5.20: One of their newest summer drink lineups. The watermelon heaven utilizes 100% pure watermelon! The watermelon heaven is sweet which means they picked some amazing watermelons to use for their drinks. The drink itself is super refreshing especially if you need something to combat the summer heat . Also a great alternative if yoy want something with a little less calorie Tiger Milk Tea $5: formosa tea with milk & brown sugar drizzle. I gave this drink to my grandma. I've never had this drink before personally, so not sure how it is or if i'd recommend it. But my grandma thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the brown sugar drizzle part. Taro Fantasy $5: If you know me, I'm pretty crazy about taro! It's one of my favorite things to eat for dessert and drink. The taro fantasy is a blended taro root drink and is super refreshing for the summer time heat as well! If you're a huge fan of taro like me, it's delicious here Overall, Tastea will always have a special place in my heart. I remember all the fun I had as a kid meeting my elementary school friends there every week and even when we were in middle school. Those were special memories and It was thanks to them because back then it wasn't so competitive. A couple months ago during Halloween they unveiled a couple of new drink including their Oolong milk tea. so hows their new oolong milk tea + their other drinks? Oolong Milk Tea $5.5: With Oolong milk tea finally welcomed to the Tastea family, we got a gently roasted oolong tea mixed with milk, that offers a pleasant floral & creamy flavor profile. Oolong is one of my favorite teas to pair with milk and they did an amazing job of nailing the strong floral oolong flavor. Pumpkin Pie Milk Tea $5.75: Their October seasonal pumpkin pie milk tea with formosa black tea topped with cheese foam & a sprinkle of nutmeg on top. The cheese foam took me a second to get use to it, i wasn't expecting a slight salty flavor profile from a pumpkin pie drink. The pumpkin pie milk tea had a distinct flavor but I feel like it was missing a more strong cinnamon flavor. Dirty Horchata $5.75: The dirty horchata is along their slow drip coffee lineup with blended horchata. A good cinnamon and milky rice flavor, and a subtle yet present coffee flavor. Absolutely loved how well the coffee & horchata flavors meshed without overpowering one another Winter Melon Milk Tea $5.5: Winter melon is a staple & a classic drink I always love having. With a vanilla & cucumber like flavor it goes soooo well with milk. They nailed one or my favorites here at Tastea! Overall, loving their Oolong milk tea! Make sure you guys go try it on your next stop at Tastea. Tastea will always have a special place in my heart. read more

I LOVE TASTEA!!! This is probably the best spot for fruity drinks and I wish they would open one closer to SF. I always get the peach me freezie which is the perfect slushie!! Peach and strawberries are my favorite fruits so this drink is my go-to. I love the fruit bits they put in it. My bf got their milk tea with boba and he really liked it as well. I actually have not tried their other items but all their tea drinks sound really refreshing. I know some locations sell snacks, but this location didn't seem to, or maybe not yet since they're new. This location is in a huge plaza by five guys and it's easy to find parking. There was a bit of a line to order and had to wait awhile for our drinks but it was definitely worth it. The store itself is tiny though, there isn't much moving room especially when there's a line of people waiting to order. There's also a few tables inside as well. read more

Tastea - Peach me freezie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

3 words: peach me freezie. Ok a few more words... 25% sweet. This thing is like a summer explosion in your mouth. At first the cold hits your tongue but quickly the finely blended ice melts in your mouth, leaving the sweet flavor of strawberry and peach to be relished by your tastebuds. Chunks of strawberry and peach floating around in the pool or deliciousness waiting to be enjoyed. I've enjoyed this drink up in both northern and southern california and the consistancy of quality is across the board. read more

Tastea - Peach me freezie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

The first time I came here (over two years ago) I tried one of their milk teas with boba and thought it was very meh and not worth coming back. However I recently decided to come here again and try their fruit teas and was actually impressed. I got the Peachme Sweetea and it was the perfect refreshing drink on a hot afternoon. I didn't add any boba, will have to try that next time. But the drink already includes a lot of fruit bits so adding more toppings doesn't seem necessary. I will say the drink was very sweet even at 50% sugar so I'm going to opt for 25% next time. read more

HUGE shoutout to Quentin at Tastea! The whole team was incredibly friendly. Thanks for the hospitality! Tastea is one of few boba places that is open until 12am. Yes, it's the perfect place to go after a night out at karaoke or bowling. I got the sea salt jasmine milk tea and it was spot on! Perfect amount of saltiness for the foam, really solid tapioca pearls. There's no indoor seating, but plenty of tables outside. Be sure to bring a jacket if you are going late at night like I did. read more

Drinks: 4.5/5 I've been going to tastea for a while and tried a lot of their drinks. They are some put a lot of sugar even for light sweetness but other than that each place is consistent. Vibes: 4/5 This place felt crammed sitting inside so we decided to sit on the outside which was more roomie and spacious. read more

Tastea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

this is our go to Tastea spot since it's the closest one to us. I always get the peach me sweet tea with less sweetness and sub Boba instead of the fruit bits, since I don't like the texture of them and less ice. Hubby wanted to try something new this time so he got the sunset Peach just the way it is but with less ice too. We both absolutely loved our drinks. the 20 ounce is a perfect size for us and price is worth the portion size. Service was super quick and friendly. We were out of there in no time. read more

Yelp took down my last review of Tastea because it was for the wrong location, apparently the one I went to was this one in Sunnyvale. Anyway I still feel the same about my experience as it was a very fun time and both my friends and I enjoyed our drinks. I am going to have to give this place 5 stars because there is only 1 boba drink I like to order, that is an Avocado smoothie, and only one guy I go to to get it, my b o y Jason at Boba Ninja in Berkeley, yet this place makes a killer avocado smoothie that is super XXL and can compete with Boba Ninja's avocado smoothie, which is really saying something, and this has been the longest run on sentence in the history of Yelp so I am going to add a period now. Tastea has now become one of my favorite boba places in San Jose, namely because of their avocado smoothie, but also because of the experience my friends and I had there as they both also enjoyed their bubble tea drinks as well. Their boba is colorful (maybe for the holidays?) which was fun and they are very tender, indicating quality craftsmanship to whoever was stirring the boba in the back. The staff was nice and pleasant, and the menu was easy to read. Safe to say I will be back and next time I will make sure to tip better. read more

This place is good to get Tea from because they easily adjust to your level of sweetness and level of ice. The strawberry Milk tea was very grounding and fresh. Real fruit pieces included. They need longer cups for Ice Space and still enjoy the same amount of tea. Will definitely be back for more. read more

Tastea - Strawberry Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

One of my favorite go to places when I'm in the mood for a refreshing, fruity boba tea! I always get their most popular menu item: the Peachme sweet tea. I usually do regular ice, half sweet, and add their honey boba. The drink is really tasty and has real fruit pieces at the bottom of the drink. They have a great rewards system too and it's really easy to earn points and get some $$ off your order. The staff is also always so pleasant and friendly every time I go. Highly recommend trying Tastea if you're looking for good quality boba! read more

Second time having Tastea, and decided to try The Unknown. I'd never had longan before and liked the flavor and chewiness of it. However, my friend had picked up our boba, and the order they wrote clearly stated honey boba which she paid for, and it was missing! She also said it was the star of Tastea, so that was really disappointing! read more

The drinks are pretty okay. wish they had food options! They are hit or miss when it comes to how they make the drinks.

This is my go to place for milk tea/teas. The only downside is that this tastea is an express so they don't sell food. But the quality of their drinks is still top notch and the service is fast and friendly. It does get busy at times so I recommend using the app to order ahead! Also shoutout to them for enforcing the mask mandate! read more

I swang by to get a drink after playing tennis at Las Palmas on a hot day. Usually I get milk tea, but I wanted something a bit more refreshing so ended up with the 20oz Peach Me Sweetea (50% sugar, no ice). The drink was pretty good - loved the little chunks of fruit in it and the peach flavor of the drink. I did think it was a bit too sweet for 50% though, so I'd probably go down to 25% next time. It was the perfect drink after tennis to cool me down! Ordering was pretty easy. We waited outside in a short line, and they let in one party inside to order. Once our drinks were ready, they called us through the speaker to go inside to pick up. I would definitely come back to try other fruit teas and potentially a milk tea with boba next time! read more

Tastea - 20oz Peach Me Sweetea - 50% sugar and no ice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Tastea has always been one of my favorite spots! High quality drinks, boba, and great atmosphere. Like that you can order online or through the app which is amazing during COVID. Ordering in person can take quite some time. Overall, their drinks can be very pricey but I believe the quality and diversity of their menu makes it worth it. My go-to drink is the matcha coffee, lite sweet, regular ice since they do not top off their drinks. The matcha flavor and coffee blend together so well and the boba is always soft and chewy. Other drink pictured is large avocado avalanche (subject to marketplace price for avocados) and was about $8.50. Pretty pricey but they do not skimp on the avocado at all. I've also tried their other milk teas on other occasions such as their jasmine or winter melon, also great flavors and drinks! Definitely hope to branch out and try more of their slushes and fruit teas. read more

First time visiting this place. It is very nice, clean and relaxing. We came first thing in the morning so it was very quiet. I would like to come back again at night. We had some Boba Teas, and they were delicious. It is a block away from the Fremont Experience. Keep in mind that you will need to pay for parking. read more

So glad this place was open during covid. Counter/ take out only. They also do online orders. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Drinks are custom made to order and are delicious.

I haven't found another place with a drink like Tastea's jasmine sunrise [fresh orange juice and green tea] and it always hits the spot. It's the perfect blend of sweetness and refreshing. That is my favorite drink hands down! I purposely drove to Sunnyvale to get that and a jug of it also to bring home. Tastea, open a location closer to San Francisco please :) read more

I always thought Tastea was well-known for their fruity drinks, but I was pleasantly surprised by their milk teas! So far I've tried their matcha, horchata, and matcha thai milk teas, and they were made perfectly each time. Horchata milk tea surprisingly hit the spot. I asked for light ice, which they actually gave me, so the drink didn't taste too watered down. I liked how you could still taste the tea in each drink. Most boba places just mix matcha powder with milk and call it matcha "milk tea," but I like how Tastea uses jasmine tea to make their matcha milk tea, so you can actually taste the matcha and the jasmine in the drink. They also have a ton of milk options (oat, non-dairy creamer, or whole milk) and let you adjust the sweetness with stevia option available! This is now my go-to spot for boba in SJ :) read more

Very good fruit teas and awesome price for tea vs size in the Bay Area. I'm always a fan of fruit teas that use real fruit instead of the corn syrup/fruit syrups. Definitely appreciate them swapping out toppings too complimentary. COVID packaging was good, although I'm not quite sure what good the sticker does... maybe it's to deter people who deliver orders from tampering? I'd give them 5 stars, but the stickers were placed incorrectly and some of the lids were loose and opened while I was driving home. read more

Tastea - Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Easy ordering through the Yelp app., but the order was not ready when I arrived. I was welcomed when I entered the store and said I had a pick up order. The man at the counter seemed confused, but then a woman from the back handed him a post-it with my order written on it. I appreciate that this resulted in a really fresh order; however, I was in a bit of a rush. The avocado smoothie was authentic (I watched him put real, fresh avocado slices into the blender). It could have been blended a bit longer (there were some large chunks of ice), but he was understandably trying to rush my order. The Bootea Shaker Tea (not my favorite tea name) was... Bonus - location! Next door to Pizza My Heart and across the plaza from Pinkberry. There's also alar parking lot and a lot of outdoor seating, helpful during COVID-times. read more

Bless this Tastea for being open with delicious boba I can order through their app! It's so easy - I've been just placing my order through the app, and my drink has always been ready promptly. No need to wait in a long line outside on a hot sunny day! Tastea is probably most well known for their fruity drinks. They have so many to choose from! My favorite is the Peach Me Sweetea. I also am a big fan of their Golden Milk Tea when I'm feeling something milkier. Their boba is always great sweet flavor and texture. I usually order medium or lite sweet depending on my mood. Thank you Tastea! read more
