After seeing tea hut blow up on Tik Tok, we drove to put the viral drink to the test. I got the mochi milk tea and it was absolutely delicious. You dip the mochi in the milk tea with the cheese foam and bite it. It's a dessert and drink all in one. The boba pearls are nice and soft and chewy. The mochi itself is sticky and bouncy, and has a nice texture to it. Paired with the sweetness of the milk tea and the richness of the cheese foam, this drink is definitely for those adventurous food lovers. Though it's definitely not an everyday drink, it's ob every boba lover's bucket list. Definitely try this drink at least once. Tea hut also has various other fruity drinks. You order on the ipad and service is convenient and fast. I enjoy their fruity drinks as well such as the pineapple punch. read more

Tea Hut is my local fav! Really convenient and located in San Carlos. I love to stop by when I'm craving craft boba but don't want to navigate parking in downtown San Mateo. Great service and one of my top Bay Area favorites. PS they hand whisk matcha here too :) read more

This place is amazing I go every week multiple times. The teas are perfectly sweet and use all natural ingredients and less sugar than other brands. If you didn't like it you could always do extra sweet which is great! The workers are soo nice and service was great! The first time I went I asked for a recommendation and the nice lady at the front told me the perfect thing! The store is also really nice and clean and I love the vibe there! Overall perfect place to get tea often or even just on occasion! read more

This is our absolute new favorite tea place. I don't love boba but our family does so Tea Hut is perfect for us because they have mini taro balls that have the same chew as boba but with a bit more flavor. We love all the unique flavors and combos like the Emerald Grape with the fresh spinach taste and the Coco Grape with the grapefruit pulp and coconut milk with grape. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. We have been back almost weekly for our favorites and to try new drinks! We love anything taro and the taro mud is interesting and flavorful! read more

Tea Hut - Cheese Pinky Lychee - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Carlos, California

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. There was no one else in the shop. We ordered 5 drinks and I enjoyed reading their brand story on the wall. It's cutely decorated, like a sleek interior with a lived-in exterior along a street with other small businesses. The prices are kinda steep, coming to around $7 after toppings, tax, and tip. I got the Strawberry Energy. If you've ever been to N7, I think this drink is comparable to theirs. You could taste the fresh fruit and I liked the balance of fruit to tea flavors. I lowered my sweetness down. The boba was perfectly made. I don't know if it's kept in syrup or honey but there was a sweetness to it. I liked the Very Citrus and Orange Green Tea too. They were refreshing. We watched them make the drinks and there's clearly a focus on fresh fruit. They smashed an entire orange into one of the drinks. The Oreo Milk Tea was tasty. They don't skip on the puff cream! After you mix it around though, the drink isn't super thick. Overall, this was a nice choice for a caffeine pick-me-up. read more

Came here with friends, the service and boba was great! Love all their coconut drinks too.0

Looking for a new tea shop and happy to find this one in San Carlos. Parking can be tricky with streets closed and Google maps so I parked and walked, it's a very nice downtown so I'll definitely go back and explore more at another time Ordered: Strawberry Slush. 10/10 read more

Omg omg !!! The watermelon tea with Boba is amazing !!! I can't stop saying OMG bc it is so delicious !!! I got the DoorDash. The drink was so well prepared and packed. This is my favorite drink from now on. I got a hard time to get order from the machine in the store. It took me a long time to get what I wanted. I paid more money with DoorDash but it was an easy and fast. I wish they would just take my order in the store with a person not the machine. read more

My husband really wanted to try this place but it wouldn't be my first choice for a boba stop. I ordered the Strawberry Milk Tea with Drinkable mochi. The strawberry milk tea had an odd taste (from the strawberry flavoring) but the tea flavor itself was pretty good. The mochi on the other hand was not drinkable at all! Usually drinkable mochi is closer to a mochi pudding but TeaHut practically uses the same mochi you eat in Ozoni. It was inedible for a milk tea drink and added an unpleasant watery rice element that did not mix well with a sweet milk drink. They do remake drinks if there was a mistake but the whole drink was bad and I didn't realize until after I ran to my car in the rain. The service was also incredibly slow especially when no one else was in there :( The plain milk tea with boba was actually delicious so it seems 50/50 with their drinks here. read more

Update from last time: went straight to the register and Apple Pay worked fine! I think the self-order kiosk just messed with my mobile pay last time. Service and drinks are great -- I got the mango coco again and it was fantastic and exactly as advertised. Looking forward to coming back, especially since it's on a pedestrian-friendly street closed to traffic and parking is fairly easy with the lots nearby. read more

Tea Hut - Tea Hut description and values! Sorry it's hard to read with the lighting - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Carlos, California

This was the only boba shop open past 8 pm on a Saturday night which was surprisingly in San Carlos. Thai tea with boba - classic and you can't go wrong. I reduced the sugar to 50% so it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. The boba was soft and chewy but did not have a lot of flavor. Strawberry milk tea - at 75% sweetness, it wasn't too sweet which I liked. The strawberry wasn't too artificial which I was afraid of. I liked the subtle hint of strawberry in the tea. Four seasons milk tea - at 50% sweetness, it was the perfect amount of sweetness but it tasted a little watery. I couldn't really taste the tea. Overall, I'm not sure I would come back since the cups are small for the price point. read more

Was in the area and found this place. From the review it looked promising but should have turn away at the first sign when we walked in and the floor was full on soapy water. We came about 50 mins before closing so they were probably mopping the floor. But jeez leaving the floor full of soapy water is dangerous . The barista didn't even greet us when coming in and when asked if it was safe to walk to the ordering kiosk. He gave us a look and said up to you. The kiosk was in the back of the store and I didn't want to slip on soapy water. We ordered a matcha latte and fruit tea. We chose 50% sweet but the drinks came out like water. Won't be coming back. read more

Cute little spot to stop in if you're enjoying a stroll in downtown San Carlos. We happened upon Tea Hut on a warm sunny Sunday post farmers market. The place was busy with patrons lining the outside sidewalk. They have a plentiful menu of options. My fam enjoys the fruit tea blends. Passion fruit green tea and something similar to an Arnold Palmer were picked. The taro boba was a nice option instead of normal boba. Similar texture minus the sweetness which was fine with the passion fruit tea. The lemon tea had slices of fresh citrus which made the drink nice and tart. Refreshing on this warm day! read more

Cute spot in a cute area. Good drink menu without being overwhelming - love the mochi topping!

This is located on Laurel Street, which is temporarily blocked off for outdoor dining - so parking can be a couple blocks away. What really got me to try this place is one of their unique drinks, the mochi soy milk tea. My sister and I got: - mochi soy milk tea: 3/5 - the drink lacks flavor and imo pretty pricy just because of the mochi balls which I didn't think it was worth - four seasons milk tea w/boba: 2/5 - was recommended by the bobarista.. it came out to be milky with barely any tea flavor so I went back and asked for them to tweak/remake mine, 2nd time it came out to be watery with a stronger tea flavor - unfortunately I was still not satisfied with my drink and didn't want to ask for another remake Btw, they have a sign posted that if the drink was not made to your satisfaction, you can ask them to remake. Unfortunately, drinks here lack flavor and consistency. Random note, I really like their cups - a super cute bear drinking a cup of boba tea. read more

All right, so I've visited Tea Hut a lot since we often meet up with friends in San Carlos for dinner and stop by Tea Hut afterwards. I like the black, jasmine, and oolong milk teas here. Their drinks still feel a bit on the watery side compared to some other shops but I think the overall taste is still fine. I think their boba is plentiful and chewy. I get 0% sugar and I feel like the syrup from the boba usually gives the drink just a hint of sweetness that I want. Or I sometimes do the 30% sugar especially for the jasmine or oolong teas. You can order via the kiosk or you can give your order to the person behind the counter. I do note that they often run out of boba in the last hour before closing! read more

Nice and clean and staff was friendly. The classic milk tea is on par with any other descent boba place. Also tried the Mochi Rice Taro Milk Tea - it's really thick and a very filling drink. I wouldn't order it again. That mochi rice is almost like a thick doughy batter with no taste. I'd say skip it. Try something else there as there seems to be a lot of options. read more

I love tea hut. I always get the soy mochi milk tea. It's more savory than sweet and I really love how creamy the soy foam is on top. I love getting the mochi. This drink is my go to and I always crave it. My kids usually get the watermelon caffeine free drink and I split it into two smaller cups. Tea hut is my new go to boba shop! read more

This was my first time trying tea hut. I got the mochi soy milk tea since I had seen the mochi all over social media. I liked the soy cream a lot but my family thought that their drinks were a little bland and watered down. This had included the four seasons milk tea and black milk tea. The staff were very quick at making our 6 item order though. Overall, I think the mochi milk tea is something to try at least once but my family seemed to enjoy the fruit teas over the milk teas here (they make their watermelon fruit tea with blended fresh watermelon!) read more

Tea Hut - Coconut Pudding and Milk - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Carlos, California

Y'all, this past weekend was so freaking hot so when Momma Li said, "let's get boba", you go and get her boba. I knew a few places in the area, but wanted something different so looked at the positive reviews on Tea Hut and decided, "yeupp, that's the place." First off, they closed some roads in the area for outdoor dining so you may find yourself driving down one corner, turning here and there, then finally making it to a usable parking spot. Spots are time limited, but no meters - yay. Tea Hut itself is a decent size. You go straight in and there's a tablet for self-ordering with card and then there's a cashier, too. What I got: -Coco Melon w/ boba -Strawberry milk tea w/ boba -Mango Dream w/ boba -Jasmine tea w/ Cheese The feedback from the group: It's a no. The drinks lacked taste and did very little to cool us from the harsh heat. Maybe it was an off day. Maybe it wasn't. But when mom tells you, "no, Venus, no" then you know... you're not coming back. read more

Great seasons tea! I also like pear pomelo mist. Good atmosphere. Quick pickup. Can order online.

We must've tried literally 50 different boba shops and tea hut is the best. They have something I think I and the founders only like: red bean shake. read more

Pretty good boba place, but definitely on the pricey side. I visited on a Sunday afternoon. Several blocks in the area were closed for pedestrians, so it's definitely a nice area to check out and walk around. There's street parking in the surrounding neighborhood as well as public parking lots. The shop was empty except for two employees. One of the employees who took my order was very courteous and answered my questions, which was very nice. I came to try their mochi soy milk tea and was fairly shocked that the drink came out to $9.10 (almost $10 for a drink!) This was just a regular size, and I added boba to it. The girl behind the counter just plopped the drink on the table then when straight back onto her phone. Also, the mochi idea is cute in theory, but I ended up just taking the drink home and cutting the mochi up so I could drink it like boba. The mochi was very soft and chewy and lightly sweet which I really enjoyed. The boba was a bit goopy and clumpy. It was okay, but not the best boba texture. The milk tea itself was pretty good too, but a bit too sweet even at 25%. Overall the drink was pretty good, but the price point was just way above what I would be willing to return for. read more

Wanted a refreshing tea and chose the watermelon tea. I love how the regular sweetness wasn't too sweet. The watermelon tasted like fresh watermelon which complimented the green tea very well. Highly recommend! Also my drink came out fast after placing order on their kiosk. read more

Stick with Jamba Juice for fruit smoothies. Very much regretted not making the trek to tong sui. Because the mango smoothie I got here was too sweet and literally just blended frozen mangoes which I could get from the store. When I asked if I could switch the drink using their satisfaction guarantee they declined. Disappointing. read more

I'm a big fan of Tea Hut! I more often order their drinks from Doordash but sometimes go in-person. Their location on Laurel is convenient and on part of the street that's mostly closed to cars for safer walking. And their shop always seems clean and organized. I find their drinks seem much fresher and healthier than a lot of other boba spots (and I consume a lot of boba so have lots to compare to!). I love that they use a lot of real fruit too. Some of my favorite drinks are Sable Grape (my top pick) and Coco Melon (watermelon juice with coconut pudding). My kids love their Strawberry Milk Tea and my husband often chooses the Thai Milk Tea or Oreo Milk Tea. I'll definitely keep coming back and / or ordering delivery! read more

Really great boba. Highly recommend the mochi soy milk tea! The drinks aren't too sweet.

Came across the newly opened boba shop accidentally while strolling along on Laurel Street. Not knowing what to order, the staff person suggested trying the black sesame mochi milk tea (with a soy cream on top)--never had mochi balls in my milk tea. It was definitely something different from the traditional boba milk tea; this was a thicker consistency, but not a like a smoothie. The mochi balls were skewered, 3 on a stick and presented in a cellophane bag. Instinctively I wanted to drop the mochi balls in the drink, but I think it's better to dip it in and enjoy with the drink--a bite of the mochi ball and a sip of the milk tea. I thought it was a good idea to dip/dunk and sip and not drop it in--you'll have to fish it out from the bottom. It was a delightful experience and I would order it again (it's a seasonal drink, so it's not offered now). I tried the Coco Melon drink (with coconut pudding, watermelon & tea) and it was also very delicious. The drink was very pretty--pink & white. You can't go wrong with any drink and I definitely will be returning. read more

Our to go place for boba. Great customer service. Highly recommend. We like the boba balls.

I always had to travel to SF to get tea hut since their boba is to die far. You can imagine how happy I was when they opened their San Carlos location. They always use fresh fruits in their teas and you can really taste the strong flavors. My favorite every day flavor is the Strawberry Energy with cheese cream, but their seasonal flavors are phenomenal. Lately, they've had the mochi milk tea, which is Hong Kong style tea served with 3 mochi balls on top of milk foam. The Emerald Grape tastes similar to their Sable Grape flavor, but still tastes amazing. This location is relatively new compared to their SF locations, so they may still have logistical difficulties with orders on occasion, but my experiences have been good so far. I highly recommend bringing your friends so that you can try the various flavors together. read more
