Tea Juice - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Carlos, California

Cute little place next to New Canton. We got there around 7:40pm so no more desserts on display. There was no line and our drinks were made quickly. We got a blueberry smoothie, which was delicious and included what seemed to be a yogurt-like taste. The presentation was also good with the whipped cream and blueberries on top. We also got a pudding milk tea with boba, which had a strong tea flavor and was less sweet than what I am used to (no sugar modification was requested either). The boba was actually sweeter than the tea. I would recommend the milk tea to people who prefer less sweet drinks, but I am addicted to sugar so I'm getting a smoothie next time. Additional plus: the drink portions were quite generous! read more

FOOD: I recommend the Rose Oolong Tea with Salted Cream! Their salted cream is pretty good & the flavors are potent. The milk teas are more tea than milk which I enjoy. The drink is actually 90% drink 10% ice. SERVICE: One lady working both the tea shop and the restaurant. She's so sweet & I can tell she works hard. read more

Disclaimer: 2 stars for drinks but added one for their bombastic fried chicken that blew my husband's and son's (super picky eater #1) minds! On the way down the peninsula, I tried to find a boba place that we've never tried before & is also on our route home and came across this place. I ended up ordering: - boba milk tea - grass jelly milk tea - Thai milk tea - fried (popcorn) chicken I was extremely disappointed in the drinks...did not taste good at all...but the popcorn chicken was SUPER delicious. I have never heard my husband compliment fried chicken before like this so this is definitely the real deal! Since we don't live around here, we won't be visiting again any time soon. If we're ever in town again, though, we would definitely get the popcorn chicken again! (but no drinks, LOL) read more

Kudos to any small business that is bold enough to open their doors during trying times... Wishing you all the best! I believe Tea Juice has some sort of partnership with the next door Chinese restaurant: New Canton Restaurant. My receipt confirmed my suspicions... Perhaps it's the same owners? Not that it matters... I decided to stop by based Tea Juice based on the handful glowing reviews. I also love to support little local mom and pop spots and try new places as well. I'm glad to report the reviews weren't misleading! The inside was closed...adhering to SIP protocol; there was no indoor dining. There is an open window facing the sidewalk where one can order and pick up items. A friendly lady running the show told me my drink would be ready in two minutes...wallah!! She wasn't kidding!!! My drink was ready in two minutes!!! ~ C5 - Rose Oolong Tea Salted Cream [SEA SALT CREAM] OH...so very well balanced! Not too sweet, like some other places. It didn't need any adjusting...like when some other places ask you for 50% sugar or 50% ice etc. Really good flavor; a balanced combination of Rose and Oolong Tea. The Boba was not hard or too chewy, soft and supple. Finally the Sea Salt Cream was also perfect!! Not too cheesy or creamy...just brilliant!! Can't wait to try other things on the menu...especially the WheelCakes! read more

Love local boba spots. The interior and logo scream "Quickly's-era traditional mom & pop boba", but the drinks are super "iNsTaGrAm AeStHeTiC", with matching quality to boot. Don't sleep on Tea Juice! I was pleasantly surprised to find great boba out in Redwood City. For COVID safety purposes, the staff wear masks & provide ample hand sanitizer. Service is speedy & courteous-- we ordered and received both (relatively complicated) drinks within 5 mins. Menu is a great combo between classic favorites and recent trends. OOLONG TEA SALTED CREMA (less ice, 75% sweet, with boba): If you're a fan of tea-heavy drinks like me, you'll love this. The oolong is richly earthy, but doesn't overpower the crema. With the drink leaning more sugary, I recommend lowering the sweetness level with your order. Boba was cooked well & lightly sweetened. SUPER FAMILY MILK TEA (less ice, 50% sweet): DEF sweet af here, wow. With red bean, boba, egg pudding, AND grass jelly, the drink will definitely run pretty sweet already-- at 50%, I found this a little overpowering. on the other hand, my bf, a sweet tooth at heart, loved it. Weird location that can be easily missed-- Tea Juice is between the main street & residential blocks. Had we not been actively searching for boba, we might've easily missed it. Would recommend making a stop here if you're in the area. read more

My friends started posting photos of their boba drinks for the weekend making me want one too so... I did a quick search on Yelp and found Tea Juice. This place used to be called Tea Hub and I remember it being so-so so opted to try it again under a new name. Parking is pretty easy - a bunch of street parking with no meters. The inside was fairly clean and the worker wore a mask the whole time. I opted for their fresh brown sugar boba milk and it was ready in a couple minutes. First look - pretty impressive, the brown sugar was mixed thoroughly through the cup and it looked really promising. It wasn't too sweet and the amount given was more than enough to fill you. Only real issue was the boba wasn't chewy like fresh boba. Overall, worker was nice. Safety measures in place. Menu was easy to navigate. Don't have to pay for parking. Worth another trip? read more

Tea Juice - H6. Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Carlos, California

My favorite secret in San Carlos. Their juices are so good, super fruit, grapefruit- you can't go wrong. They make it fresh for you so it's even more delicious and the fruit is fresh so you can actually eat it after. Vietnamese coffee is also very good here! The service is good as they are operating a Chinese restaurant next door so it's a two for one really if you want food too. There is a parking lot right next door where you can park as long as you aren't there long. They redid the whole store recently and it looks good. read more

Nice little find. My kids and I ordered their house boba milk tea and strawberry smoothie. My house boba was rich tasting. Heavier on the tea side than the milk side. Kids smoothie just right. Will be back again! read more

Cute & cozy, little boba shop- milkshakes, smoothies, super fruit teas, shaved ice, and boba snacks. It's also easy to miss this boba shop downtown! Sadly, even though everything was delicious, I did get "salt-sick" from the calamari, which prompted me to research the reviews New Cantonese Restaurant next door (they're connected and one woman managed both stores). Weekend Sunday, and all the boba places nearby are packed. It's so convenient that there are plenty of parking here and it was just us inside the store. Super relaxing and cute interior. The woman was very kind, the drinks and food came out super fast. Super Fruit Juice Green Tea - Fresh fruit of watermelon, melon, blood orange, orange, blueberry and mint. My favorite; cold and refreshing! Mango Shaved Ice - Creamy, Fruit Jelly on Top, Milky, and Flavorful. Calamari - I could tell it had Louisiana seasoning, which was doused in the entire to-go box. Smelt so good, just out of the fryer, crunchy on the outside, and chewy delicious squid! The problem was that it was so salty, and I love seasoning and spice so much, but it was too much for me and my Asian fiancé. I wouldn't order again because it made my stomach hurt from consuming that much salt and seasoning. read more

I was a little skeptical at first being that it was inside of a Chinese restaurant but the boba was really good, soft and chewy. We ordered the super family milk tea and omg it was MASSIVE!!

With so many boba places in this area, you really can't afford to be a BAD one. This place is an add-on to the Chinese restaurant next door, and has no devoted staff to the tea place. I had to go next door to get someone's attention, and even then, they continued rushing around the restaurant and no one came over for several minutes. This was at 1:30pm on a Sunday, so not prime lunch hour. Then someone came and took my order (they were out of my first choice), and then disappeared again for several minutes. I finally got my drink, and I think the boba was at least two days old. There was absolutely no spring to it, with congealed mush between the Boba. It was all soft, except for the random bits of undercooked boba. Disgusting. They get one star back because they put real fruit in the tea. I won't be coming back here again. read more

Stopped by for a post-hike Mango Passionfruit Sparkling Juice, which was a refreshing drink for these days that seem to be transitioning all too quickly to summer. Aesthetically, all the drinks are beautiful! My juice seemed to glow in the sunlight. Flavor-wise, it tasted fresh and included real mango and passionfruit, including its crunchy seeds that added a pleasing texture. Still a tad sweet for my taste, but I do appreciate the fresh fruit ingredients. The drinks are also on the pricey side, ranging from $5-8 each. Tea Juice seems to be part of New Canton Restaurant, and doesn't have its own name displayed outside. From the drink pictures alone, one would picture a new hipster-y joint with artistic decor, but it's actually a very normal, homey looking food establishment. They have convenient covid friendly takeout windows for order and pickup. read more

Their drinks are really good, fresh and unique definitely recommend them but just a disclaimer their Strawberry Avocado smoothie is not made consistently. The first two times I ordered it it was green blended with strawberries and strawberries on top with whipped cream. I ordered it for the 3rd time (with 2 months) and the only difference is I asked for no whipped cream. This time it just looked like a Strawberry smoothie so I was thrown off and thought she mistaken my order. She said it was and I told her the first two times I ordered it was green with strawberries on top. I really don't care how it looks all I'm saying is the drink should be made consistently. She said next time to ask for more avocado but when I ordered it the first two times I didn't make any special requests. I wasn't upset I was just saying they should be made consistent and she was just being defensive and rude. I'm glad I took a picture of how it looked the first two times. So take a picture to keep for reference in case they make your drink differently. read more

Tea Juice is a small little shop in the quieter area of downtown San Carlos. Parking is street parking. I believe they own the restaurant next door, since it is connected and the lady went back and forth between the two shops. When I first came in, no one was here so it was hard to get ahold of anything, after waiting for at least 5-8 minutes, someone popped up near the doorway, but she still was not paying attention to the customers on this side. Eventually she came over and started making drinks without even acknowledging anyone. I should had left, but I was already there, so I waited patiently. After about 15 minutes or so, she finally took our order without any apologies for the wait. The drinks took even longer. After finally receiving my green milk tea with boba, it did not taste green tea based. It was more of a strong black tea from a teabag with creamer - it tasted like something you can make quickly at home. The boba had a strong sugary taste, and it was super soft that it melted in my mouth. read more

This used-to-be another tea place called Tea Hub, you can still see Tea Hub's sign imprint outside. There's also some tables in front but I think it's mainly for the restaurant right next to it, seemed to be owned by the same person. Staff wore masks and gloves, and there's hand sanitizer available too. The staff who took my order is new, she admitted this and also struggled taking my order. She wasn't familiar how to use the card reader and had to go on the restaurant side to process payment. Their menu is pretty straightforward. I love how they have a good selection of toppings that aren't usually offered at other tea places such as blueberry, passion fruit, taro, and matcha boba. Ordered the following drinks below. Drinks were ready at a reasonable amount of time. Rose Oolong Tea Salted Cream (C5) with Taro Boba - drink wasn't cold, not enough ice - salted cream was a bit too cream cheese-y taste - we couldn't taste the taro much in the boba - rose buds were too much, bf struggled drinking since they're about the same size as the taro boba - but the tea itself is great, it wasn't too sweet Passion Fruit Smoothie (S2) with Passion Fruit Boba - I asked for passion fruit boba but got regular boba instead - regular boba was pretty good, it has the nice chewy texture and right sweetness - smoothie tasted perfect, not too sweet and has a nice flavor In reality, I'd like to give them a 3.5 star review instead of 4 star for the mistake and also with the Rose Oolong not being super awesome. With the cashier being new, and not sure how recent they've opened, I'd definitely give them another try and see if anything improves. read more

Ummm...wow. I was not expecting to find such legit boba in this area. My friend and I were in the area and found this place via Yelp. When we stepped inside the shop, there was no one. It looks like they're connected to the Chinese restaurant next door? After ringing the bell, a woman came to take our order and was very quick to make our drinks. My friend got the Brown Sugar Fresh Boba Milk and I got the Oolong Tea Salted Cream. I have to preface this by saying that so far, my fav place for salted cream drinks has been Happy Lemon. I was expecting something similar, but holy moly. THIS PLACE BLOWS HAPPY LEMON OUT OF THE WATER. Not gonna lie, I struggled with the lid for a while before I could finally get it open to the point where I could even think of attempting to drink it at a 45 degree angle to get an equal amount of salted cream and drink. I ended up getting a mouthful of salted cream. In Happy Lemon's salted cream drinks, I guess they dilute the cream so that it pretty much starts dissolving in the drink right away. NOT THIS PLACE. The cream was so thick that I pretty much had to give up on trying to drink it the usual way because I just kept getting mouthfuls of salted cream. My friend was kind enough to go back for a straw so I could manually stir the cream into the tea. IT WAS DELICIOUS. The oolong tea flavor was more potent vs. most boba places and it was perfectly sweetened for my taste (I usually like it a little less sweet). This place is the bombdotcom and I'd totes come back here if I was ever in the area. Some of their other drinks and snacks (esp the wheelcakes - I don't really know what they are but they looked delicious) looked pretty tempting. read more

This is a really unassuming boba shop that's a little off the beaten path in San Carlos. It's next to New Canton Restaurant and I'm pretty sure they're owned by the same people and while I haven't tried the restaurant I can say the boba shop has some great drinks! I've only tried the Sea Salt Cream Teas here but they're really good! I've gotten the Oolong and the Black Sea Salt Cream Teas and both were great- strongly brewed tea and a delicious cream that's reminiscent of cake batter. I ordered 50% sugar and that was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. I've ordered in person and ordered over the phone and both times my drink was made in less than 5 minutes so they're super quick here. If you can, support a locally owned boba shop and try some yummy teas! The drinks are great and the lady who owns the shop is really sweet. read more

I discovered this place on a whim, I was in the area and was really craving a nice refreshing drink. It's a small Asian owned business and the owner is so nice. My first time there the owner gave recommendations on which drinks to get and even accommodated my request to keep things caffeine free. I love supporting small businesses and the drinks were amazing. I've been a few times and usually get a smoothie/slush type drink and everything is blended so smooth and I really like how it's not overly sweet. I highly recommend this place, I drive all the way from sf just to come here. read more

I'm super relieved that we have another boba shop in the area! Boba Guys can be really pricey... I'll leave that in a separate review. I do appreciate that they use real fruit in their drinks! My go-to is a strawberry smoothie! It looks like their menu states they offer snacks but that might be later in the future? Server is very kind and pleasant. Adhered to COVID-19 precautions. There's some outdoor seating right outside the shop. The one with the roof tent is for the Chinese restaurant adjacent to the shop. read more

The boba shop is connected to a restaurant, that's probably why their popcorn chicken is some of the most delicious ones I have had. Their drinks, on the other hand is not as good. The tea themselves are fine, but the boba was overcooked and mushy. Maybe it was an off day for them? read more

Just a few blocks from Trader Joe's in San Carlos, great bubble tea shop next to an Asian restaurant, also owned by them I believe. The drinks are very fresh and not too sweet, so the tea flavor really stands out. They also have snacks and mini dessert wheels that they make fresh. They come out crispy ok the outside and soft in the inside - love the taro and green tea flavors. They even offer fresh taro as a topping in the drinks, which I love. They have a variety of fresh fruit drinks as well. Definitely check them out, and it's a plus that there's no long line. read more

We came later in the evening and the lady that was making all the drinks is so polite and the order was ready early! Thank you and we will definitely be back to your shop! read more

I ordered the watermelon green tea with rainbow jelly and their chicken bites (forgot the name). I came in my lunch break, not too busy which was nice but it took most of my break to get my two items. The watermelon green tea was okay. I don't think they added in green tea since it tasted like straight up concentrated watermelon juice. I actually had to dump a quarter of it out and add water because the sweetness was overwhelming. As for their chicken bites, it was seasoned very well and not dry. Just be careful of the bone and cartilage. Other than that the service was good. It was my first time here as well so I won't let that one drink stop me from coming back. read more
