It was a scorching 93 degrees at Livermore Outlets. Surprisingly, the heat didn't deter eager shoppers, scoping to score good deals. After 40 minutes of trying to find parking, and literally having to stalk out a couple of shoppers, I found a spot. I was a bit regretful that I didn't get T4 when I had the chance, but I recalled that Tea Heart existed in the 'newer' area of the Livermore shopping map layout. My Matcha Smoothie with no toppings ended up being fairly close to $6.00. I didn't expect much, but I was still a bit disappointed. They overused the ice, which made the whole thing undrinkable, unless you stabbed at it... which was a bit insane especially since it wasn't even melting with the 93 degree weather. Even for Shopping Mall quality standards, this place misses the mark. I like their layout. Their store is a convenient location. But they need some serious improvement - it's a bad business plan to simply use your convenience to serve sub-par milk tea. read more

Tea Heart - Matcha Smoothie - Shaved Snow Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Watered down, barely tea flavored. They forgot my boba (pearls). Most places would make you a new drink. If not, then they would remove the seal, pour boba in, then reseal it. Instead, these guys peaked half of the sealed lid back, poured boba in, and that is it. So they handed me back this ghetto looking ripped lid cup of watered down tea with some boba in it. Also really slow. They had enough bodies in there to specialize. Meaning cashier just cashiers. Tea maker just makes tea. Etc. I saw the cashier also helping out with drinks, but the place is pretty small, so maybe they were just getting in the way with each other. Either way... it took way too long to get my drink, when there were. It that many orders ahead of me. read more

I really enjoyed the drink I picked out here! I got the honey peach tea with 50% sugar and it was perfect! The cashier informed me that it came with popping boba which I told her that is it okay, but after getting my receipt, I decided to change my mind last minute, woops! I wanted the lychee jelly as a substitute and they were quick to make the change for me! Great! The only reason why I knocked down a star is because the Taro Milk Tea my bf got tasted a bit off, but I enjoyed my drink! read more

My friend and I were at the outlets, just walking around then we got thirst and came across this place. It's a really small place with barely anywhere to stand. The line was a bit confusing since everyone was pretty much just standing around waiting for a drink but once we figured out who was in line or not, we jumped in. They have a good variety of drinks to choose from however my friend and I decided to go with something refreshing: the mango fruit tea. The cashier who helped us out was nice and quick. Once ge took our order, we had to step outside since it was a bit crowded. It didn't take too long for our drink to come out, which was cool. It was definitely refreshing but a tad bit too sweet for my taste. Overal, friendly and quick employees, it could have been a bit cleaner, however it was just a bit too small in there. Wished it was a bit more organized when forming a line but it was an okay experience. read more

My first time here and I ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea Hot & Curry Balls! Price: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Environment: 4/5 Employee: 3/5 The curry balls were watery when I went but it taste hot & fresh. I would come back here and order again. The Jasmine Milk Tea Hot was also delicious! Kept me warm during my shopping around the outlets. I don't see much of a downfall ordering here besides the watery curry balls but I can't wait to come back again! Also, their mozz sticks are delicious! It was cooked warm and fresh into their cup. Thanks Tea Heart for the to-go snacks! Also, they have a LOT of seating around this spot. read more

Every time I come to the outlets, I always pass by Tea Heart (a wood shack building) and I always decide to skip it because of all the negative reviews on Yelp. This time I noticed it opened another spot where i-Tea originally was and I decided to try it for myself especially since they had a pretty long line so I was thinking how bad could it be? It's a small store, just enough room a few people to stand inside to order/wait. Their menu looks pretty extensive but I opted for my usual green milk tea and my friend ordered one of the honey drinks and popcorn chicken. Their drinks/snacks are on the pricer side but I guess you can expect that at a mall. There was a sign saying something along the lines of having to wait longer if you ordered food so we expected to wait. Maybe about 5 minutes later, my friend received both her drink and popcorn chicken but my drink was nowhere to be found, I waited patiently as they started to call out numbers that were ordered after me and another 5 minutes passed before my drink was brought out. The popcorn chicken came in a small plastic container with a small amount of chicken for the price of $5.95. Honestly, it looked like a round fried ball and it didn't look appealing, after tasting one, it just tasted like a mini fried chicken nugget and was sort of bland. I was excited to try my drink but after one sip, I was disappointed that I wasted 5 bucks on a drink that I ended up drinking maybe 25% of and tossing it at the next garbage can. My green milk tea (75% sweet) tasted bland and wasn't even slightly sweet while the boba just sort of melted in my mouth (it was pretty disgusting). My friends who shared their drink, who aren't as picky as I am when it comes to boba tea ended up tossing their drink also because their tea was also bland and didn't taste good. read more

We came here for a few weekends in the morning since that's really the only time you can go to this outlet and not wait around for parking. The first time we had this problem it was a Saturday in the early afternoon and we had to wait 15 minutes for boba. That was fine, we waited the 15-20 minutes for our boba. However, the next time we came around 10:30 am, we overheard the man telling the group in front of us that it would take 15 minutes to make the boba and so they ordered something else. So then we came back in around 30 minutes and asked if they had boba and he still said 15 more minutes. It was well past 11 am - what is a boba tea place doing without any boba long after they've opened? Very questionable and inconvenient for those trying to grab a drink. read more

I wish I read the reviews before coming here. It's hot and a refreshing boba drink conveniently located in the outlets plaza sounded great. Unfortunately that's not what I got. If you like artificial fruit syrup flavors then this is the place for you. I guess I should've asked if they used fresh fruit. After wasting 7 bucks, I found out they don't. I got the watermelon slush. It's disgusting, tasted like a Jolly Rancher. It's amazing how they overcharge you for ice, water and syrup. The only upside is the boba was decent. read more

It's whatever here... it's normal customer service. Small shop, pretty slow service when it comes to food and pricing wise it's average. When I got here, lines were pretty long and being that in this whole outlet, this was the only boba shop, it's a monopoly in the boba game, tastes for the drinks were decent. I'm a milk tea boba connoisseur and tbh I was not happy with it... it's probably the tea they used and reading the other reviews, my drink was watered down a lot. With my moms drink, it was good. I like the mango sago which is their special read more

FOOD: 2 SERVICE: 3 VALUE: 2 AMBIANCE: 2 This is a Boba tea place that serves fried snacks. We did not have any snacks, so, we can't comment on those. We ordered: Watermelon smoothie - this is made with watermelon and watermelon syrup and crushed ice, so, it's not really a smoothie. However, I asked for no syrup and it came out like watermelon flavored (slightly) slushee. Not very good. Pink Guava - a guava flavored (artificial?) drink which we ordered with white boba. The boba tasted ok and that's all we can say. Should have just gone to Starbucks. read more

Review #011 - 2019 After already buying two disappointing drinks, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk getting a third drink to disappoint myself even more. Although, I did recall getting a drink from here before and I don't remember it being bad so I decided to give it another shot! Surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting considering it's at the outlet and not a stand alone well known tea shop. I got the avocado smoothie, and it wasn't too sweet nor too bland. I was able to enjoy every sip from start to end so I guess third drink of the day was better than the rest. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but I wouldn't avoid it either. Sweet drink craving was finally satisfied before the end of the night! read more

Tea Heart - 01/18/2019: Third drink of the day...not the best, but good enough! - Shaved Snow Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Tea Heart is in a "wood shack" in the same area as the food trucks. i had their horrible tasteless tea before, skipped it. menu looked semi-professional. it isn't. missing details on topping pricing, customization options on milk teas. offerings: snacks, shaved ice, milk tea, fruit drinks, creama tea, smoothies. eats: popcorn chicken (5,95) -large cup full of fried round chicken balls. salty. greasy, no other flavors. -blah compared to competition, wouldn't order again leftovers: -snacks obviously made from frozen pre made foods. fried cuttlefish/fish balls not a good value..msg loaded? -service ok. read more

If I could I'd give them no stars. Disappointed in their customer service. We ordered a hot drink & it was luke warm. I asked them if they can remake it and they said yes. I watched them microwave the cup when I asked if they could just remake it. Not coming here again. read more

Tea Heart - Shaved Snow Near Me - Pleasanton, California

SERVICE: Fairly quick service. Took a little over 5 minutes, but there weren't that many people there. I was expecting a longer line for such a hot day. The service wasn't extremely good, but it wasn't bad. ATMOSPHERE: It's a really small shop. Probably similar to a spot in the food court. If there was a long line, you'd probably have to stand outside to wait for your drink. DRINK: We got the mango sago. My standard for this drink is the one at I-Tea. That's bomb. This one was a little more expensive than that one and tasted watered down. The flavor was lacking for sure. It was not worth the price. If you're shopping at the outlets and desperately want some boba, maybe you could find a hidden gem on the menu. There are much better spots around the area, so you're probably better off heading to one of those! read more

Ordered a green milk tea with no toppings. The tea was not good, taste water down more than anything.

Just another bad review here. Tea heart is super convenient because it's in such a prime area in the outlets. Because Livermore is scorching hot in the summers, this spot is perfect as it's easily accessible and they are rather quick with serving the drinks. My issues are about how overpriced the drinks are especially with how mediocre they taste. A milk tea with pearls is about 5 dollars, but the pearls are so hard like it wasn't prepared long enough. The milk tea tastes extremely watered down. Because I can't stand the milk tea, my go to is their mango drinks. Still meh, but again I continue to go here for the convenience. read more

This place is horrible. No, really! It's as if they're trolling their customers. As if they're intentionally trying to sabotage their business. I seen the reviews before we stepped in, but we insisted anyways and gave em a shot. Right when we walked in, this young lady already gave the impression that she hated her job. As she took our orders, she's gives zero eye contact, picking her nails. Lol, really?! As she makes our drinks, she's flat footed, taking her sweet time. Right then and there, We knew this was the last place she wanted to be at. We had one last shred of hope though. Hoped so hard that our drinks would be solid... WRONG! We didn't even finish 1/3 of our drinks. Our 5 year old couldn't even help us with the rest. He knows what Taro and a Thai tea is suppose to taste like and he even knew something wasn't right. Both the Taro & TT had zero trace of Its intended flavor. Viet/Thai restaurants, who aren't specialized in making milk teas, do it a thousand times better. We were dumbfounded. $12 dollars down the drain. read more

This 2nd location is in a cute wooden kiosk in between Michael Kors and Godiva at Livermore Outlets.

Black tea decent with crema just ok. Credit cards accepted read more

Here you have another boba shop with very mediocre boba drinks located in a strip mall outlet. I ordered a jasmine milk tea with honey boba and curly fries. The curly fries were well seasoned and tasty. One of the staff told me they do not have any ketchup yet since they just opened on 12/23/17, but they will have some tomorrow. My milk tea was sad and tasted like premixed instant milk tea; boba was chewy and slightly sweet but just as below average as the milk tea it sits in. Probably due to its location, its items are overpriced -- $5.00 for a milk tea with boba; $5.95 for curly fries. read more

They don't have a zero rating, so... So we're at the Livermore outlets, walking along and BAM Tea Heart, the kiosk one!!! They sell boba tea, which I LOVE, LOVE!!! We order, my kid ordered a flavor she didn't like (and she took a half a sip to find that out.) So I walk up to the window and explain that she ordered a flavor she wasn't keen on, could we exchange it for another flavor? The guy (pics to come), said a whole bunch of rude things, which I ignored. I chose to focus on the "I have 6 orders ahead of you, I'll fit you in after them." I said ok, great! 10-15 min go by and I see and hear 6 drinks come out. So I go back up to the window to see where the exchange drink is. He then tells me I have to wait after the orders, of which there are now 8 more drinks to be made. I said "sir, you said after the 6, it isn't right to now say after the "orders" as you keep taking orders and not making our drink." He says "it's not my fault you ordered the wrong drink, you'll have to wait!" I was trying to keep my composure and speak clearly and with purpose, as I watched him drop a prepared cup on the ground, pick it back up and began pouring whatever drink some poor soul will unknowingly drink!!! So GROSS!!! The taro boba tea was good, the the service makes it a no go! Don't eat or drink anything, EVER from Tea Heart. #itstheprinciple read more

The boba itself is pretty good. Not too hard and not too soft. The boba is round and consistently chewy. The drink itself however was eh. I ordered an oolong milk tea and it didn't really taste like oolong. In fact, it tasted more like a chocolate milk tea. I know oolong is supposed to have a certain roasted taste to it and this drink just tasted sweet and somewhat like chocolate. I always go to the same boba place to check for consistency, so I will definitely come back another time and try a fruit tea for next time with an updated review. read more

Tea Heart - Found Mosquito in the tea, after drinking all of it! - Shaved Snow Near Me - Pleasanton, California

The kiosk is in a prime location near where the food trucks are in the outlet mall and has less of a line than the actual store location. Their regular milk tea was a pretty basic, powder-made drink and the boba was chewy and sweet. Not much to write home about. But after reading all the recent negative reviews, it looks like I just got lucky with my drink. Or maybe the regular milk tea is the only thing they do right. I'll admit service wasn't friendly, not even a smile. The lines move slowly and the drinks come out even slower. If you're not pressed for time and would just like a regular milk tea, this place ain't bad. read more

This is an OK place! Had bobas with family while we were at the outlet last Saturday. The weather compelled us to grab a hot drink that day, as it was a heavy downpour at the time. We were thrilled to find this place, as we desperately needed a hot drink and when there's hot boba, why not grab it right away?! Right?! All four of us ordered for different hot boba for each of us. Be it Taro or Caramel or Mango or Oolong, it was very bland and the only bearable drink was Taro. Service was excellent, no doubts about it. It was very quick although the shop was busy answering their customers. Not really a great place to hangout and I don't think we will be interested to stop by here next time. read more

Ive walked past this place and finally tried it today. Im glad i only got the brown sugar milk tea because the food didnt seem appetizing. Well, the brown sugar milk tea wasnt good either anyway.

Ordered a "HOT" honey green milk tea today, I have to say their milk tea tasted really good (that's the 2 stars I gave); but three things I was not satisfied at all. 1) the tea was NOT Hot. 2) they didn't fill the tea up all the way (see the photo I attached). Ok, I understand maybe it's a hot drink they don't want to fill all the way to the top, but I felt like I was cheated because I paid for the drink. 3) The boba was *bad*... it was overcooked or something, it was really soggy. I'll try another boba shop when I go to Livermore outlet next time. read more

There are two store fronts in the Outlets. One is a walk-in place and the other is like a large kiosk. Both experiences were meh. First experience, I ordered a "special" mango sago drink. Five seconds after paying, my drink was ready which I thought was great and super fast but a bit odd. Then I tasted it and it was warm. I took a look back and I could see stacks of this "special" drink pre-made and sitting on the counter. It's the equivalent of letting fast food burgers sit in the warmer for hours. Second experience, I got sweet potato fries and a mango smoothie. The smoothie had no fresh mango and was more like an Icy with mango syrup mixed in. Utterly disappointed to say the least. You would expect fresh fruit or even frozen fruit when you pay $6. The fries were ok but pricey as well for a small batch. I'm not surprised others have had bad experiences. read more

Immediate stomach ache afterwards. And no, it was not due to excess sugar or even the boba! I ordered the rose milk tea with no sugar and no boba. Let me tell you, the suffering that ensued afterwards was something I have not experienced with boba/milk tea drinks. And I've had my fair share! Holy cow, it was a rough 40 Minute drive home from the outlets after a few hours of shopping. Didn't even finish half. Should have opted for food (or hunger) instead. There are cheaper ways to empty your bowels folks! Stay away from this place unless you're looking for a good excuse to miss work read more

A little pricey but understandable because you are at the Outlets. read more
