Teaspoon's drinks aren't mind-blowing, but when you have a tea craving, they're good enough to hit the spot. Their black, green, and oolong milk teas taste proper and competently made. (Skip their Thai Tea though -- it's generic, pre-made stuff that's overly sweet.) I also like how if you dig deep into their menu, there's the option to custom-design your own tea with more obscure flavors like Earl Grey. Also, credit the Los Altos location for being the best of the Teaspoons. They have more reasonable pricing than the Palo Alto branch, they stay open the latest (11:00 PM), and just about everyone I've encountered working here in the past ten years has seemed pretty dang nice. Room for improvement: Their app is frequently turned off an hour early, or just not working. read more

Came I today- ordered a drink! Waited 20 minutes and it was not ready! I don't know what kind of tea takes almost 1/2 hour. Horrible ! I will never return read more

I got the White Grape Oolong Tea. It came out within 10 minutes. The tea with 10% sugar mostly tastes like tea. Next time I'll get 25% sugar. The tea by itself is okay honestly. The shop has no place to sit inside. There are 2 tables and a bench outside for sitting. I recommend this place if you're in need for a 10 PM boba craving. Nice, chill plaza to walk around in. The parking lot is big but come during non-peak hours! read more

Relatively new location and a great spot to meet with friends. Outdoor seating and conveniently on El Camino & San Antonio. There's quality non-sweet options like their Oolong Osmanthus tea and Peach Oolong, plus all the sweeter selections that the younger set likes. Visited here after watching a movie at Cinemark Mountain View and this was a good late night spot (closes at 11p) as most other tea places were closed. read more

I really love Teaspoon. going with my friends is so fun and they have so many options to choose from. I also love their boba it's very fresh. read more

Overall: A // 5 stars The original teaspoon before it was a chain and they served the fluffiest of snows that tasted so amazing. Since then, it's been exciting to watch their incredible growth outside the Bay Area and keep innovating with consistently new items on their menu that are always aesthetic first; you cannot order a drink that does not look good! It is impressive that their pioneering efforts are usually a hit, and any copycats in the area always fail to live up to the original drink. I do find their prices to be at a high price point these days, but that premium is worth paying for knowing that the quality is always high, whether delivered or ordering in person. Highly recommend. (Mango on Fire: A+) - This is the best variation of the mango smoothie drink that could exist; it's undisputed. The chamoy brings such a flavorful spice that has a saline contrast to the sweet mango, a heat to contrast the icy slush, and a passionate red to beautify the yellow aesthetically. This drink is addictingly palatable, without being overly filling such as HeyTea's Mango Coconut Boom. (Coconut Coffee: B) - I love their expansion into the coffee space at the same time of when I started drinking coffee. I think the blend of coconut and coffee works well being two strong flavors that do not overpower one another. (Lychee on Lychee: B) - Beautifully simple drink consisting of black tea, lychee syrup, and lychee jelly that works well in both hot and cold form. The simplicity of this drink works well, though kind of pricey at Teaspoon's latest price point. Food: +1 Presentation: +1 Price: E Overall: Insta/Beli/Yelp/TikTok: @amei_eats read more

We usually come here if we are looking to charge our Tesla as there is a Tesla Supercharger station a block away behind this shopping plaza. The teas are good, with the fruit teas probably being the better options. That being said, I've lately been getting hot drinks here as the weather has been chilly, and those have been great. Pro-tip: look for the Teaspoon gift cards at Costco to get extra savings. read more

Love their Lychee on Lychee boba! I love the lychee jelly that is used. Has a nice sweetness and chewyness. Love that they allow you to customize the drink to your liking. I have my drink with zero sweetness and sometimes treat myself to extra lychee jelly! They make seasonal flavors as well. Service is fast and friendly. Easy to order on the app as well as via the various meal delivery service - doordash, Uber, GrubHub. read more

Solid boba spot and their mochi donuts are decent too. I am a fan of their taro lover drink, and I like the consistency across their locations. Service can be hit or miss but usually the wait isn't bad. read more

Teaspoon Los Altos - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Altos, California

This is an average boba spot overall. The drinks are good and reliable, which is why I keep coming back. I have always enjoyed the passion fruit tea because it is refreshing and consistently tasty. During the summer they offered some watermelon drinks that I really liked as well. The flavors were bright and perfect for hot days. Unfortunately, the service at this location leaves a lot to be desired. It can be slow and sometimes the staff seem inattentive or distracted. That definitely takes away from the overall experience. I have been to their Palo Alto location and found the service there to be much better, which makes a big difference. If you are mainly interested in good drinks and can overlook the service, this spot works. But if you want a smoother experience, I would recommend going to the Palo Alto location instead. read more

Happy Five Star Friday! This is one of the first Teaspoon locations I remember in the South Bay. Always consistent on quality and customer service and lots of creative flavors. It's always fun to try drinks from the seasonal menu, many which have become favorites, such as the *Dirty Ube* - coconut infused ube with organic coffee and milk. And of course they offer oat milk, which I always opt for. I do 50% sugar and less ice on this drink, but you can always customize it however you want. If you're looking for something fruity and refreshing, I highly recommend the *Guava Sunset*. It is sublime! The combination of guava, marmalade, and lemon is incredible. Definitely helps during all the heat waves. I get this drink 50% sweet, less ice. Also tasty are the the mango drinks (*Silky Mango* and *Mango Funtime* smoothie. You also can't go wrong with any of the matcha drinks such as the *Matcha Royale* or add strawberry. The *Taro Lovers* drink is also amaaaazing if you adore taro -- it's caffeine free! So a very popular choice later at night. Plenty of parking in the plaza but it can get crowded. Shoutout to Mariel on being helpful and knowledgeable every time! TIP: There's something for everyone. Let your adventurous side out and try everything. DATE TIP: Any of these beautiful tasty drinks is sure to win them over. The real test is if you can choose one that fits them best! Plus get the dairy, sugar, ice level, toppings correct and you're sure to impress. read more

Teaspoon is great at both milk and fruit teas, and I love how they keep things interesting with unique flavors. The Lychee on Lychee is a must-try if you're as lychee-obsessed as I am. The Strawberry Matcha Royale is so refreshing, with just the right amount of sweetness to keep it light. There's no seating inside, but you'll find a few tables outside the store. The drinks come out fast, so it's easy to swing by for a quick drink. Definitely one of my go-to boba spots in the South Bay! read more

Teaspoon Los Altos - Matcha Royale - Strawberry - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Altos, California

I enjoyed the Taro lovers as it had chunks of real taro inside as well as the Crystal boba I paired with it. I've been on a tear lately switching out regular boba to either Crystal or Aiyu Jelly. Boba drink without any topping in general is just so generic- you need a sidekick topping to pair with your drink. Service was friendly and easy to order using touch pad. Come time to pay I tried inserting my debit card because I didn't know where to tap for payment but apparently it was able to read my card by tapping near the car insertion device on the side although there was no label indicating where to exactly tap your card. Some have it directly on the screen but this system did not. Nobody was around so I went outside and sat on one of their tables and enjoyed my drink. I remember passing by this place in the summertime and it can get packed really fast. Today- not so much. read more

Teaspoon Los Altos - Taro Lover with Crystal boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Altos, California

I enjoy it here. I come here a lot. The drinks are good and the service is quick. Only problem is that if you order toppings or customizations to your drink they sometimes forget and don't include them. If I am bringing drinks home, I don't realize until I am back home. I recently got a Banana matcha royale with almond milk and honey boba x2. Now that I am home. I realize my drink is without any boba and I don't think they were able to do the almond milk. The drinks are good, I would probably be careful if you are making any customizations. read more

It's been a long time since I've been here at this location. I'm giving this place two stars for a few reasons. * the boba barista gave me a defective lid for the hot Jasmine boba milk tea I ordered. It would not stay secured on the cup. The lid popped off so easily a few times and spilled in the car! * the boba barista threw so much attitude after asking her so nicely about the store hours. Customer service goes a long way, and she didn't deserve a tip after being so rude! She needs to get retrained on how to talk with customers. * the tablet doesn't seem to be updated with all of the drinks they offer. Overall, location is small but there's plenty of parking. Some outdoor seating provided, but I'd prefer going to another Teaspoon location or just another boba stop in general. read more

Wanted to check it out but they closed 3 hours early with a sign in the window saying they were understaffed. I don't think the person who updates the hours and the person who works those hours talk to each other... Kinda awkward... read more

Super refreshing drinks, I recommend it if you need a break and a calm drink. Service was great, and the environment was very pleasant.

This is my favorite Teaspoon location~ I unfortunately avoided Teaspoon for aa very long time as I'd visited several other locations, and did have good experiences. Am happy to report that since I tried this particular location (due to them being open a bit earlier than other tea shops.) and had a great experience I've kept coming back~ only once (out of many, many visits) did my drink not come out how I'd hoped. Some of my favorites are Guava Sunset, and Ladybug. I've enjoyed all the drinks I've tried at this location, and they often do seasonal drinks that I enjoy~ One of the last seasonal drinks was my favorite, but unfortunately it's no longer available. They also have some snacks like cookies, and chips. There is a screen you can order from as well as at cash register. They accept Apple Pay as well as cash. There's some seating outside. Great service! There's parking in a parking lot out front, and no restroom. read more

A variety of interesting drink options. I went with the creamy Jasmine, since I wanted something more simple. Tasted good but not better than any other boba shop. The line seems to fluctuate and there was only 1 person working (making drinks and taking orders at the register). When I ordered there was only 1 person in front. By the time my drink was ready there were about 8 people waiting. read more

Honey boba quality here used to be consistent, but now it's a bit too soft. So I like getting the crystal boba instead. I love the Japanese rice milk tea, which is flavorful and not as watery as some of the other teas here. read more

Usually I have a great experience here but lately the past 4-5 times I've gone the workers do not look like they want to be there nor do they acknowledge anyone when walking in. It takes up to or even sometimes more than 5 minutes of standing at the door for them to ask if you need help. read more

Go to this spot if you love getting close to no boba in your BOBA drink. It happened once and I figured it was a mistake on their end. Three chances later I've realized this is how they do drinks here. I took my drinks back in and asked if they could add boba to my drink since I ordered it w boba and they rolled their eyes and poured me the most minuscule amount of boba imaginable. Moral of the story- go to BOBA BLISS. Right across the street. Better quality, price and they actually add boba pearls do your drink. read more

This place gets swamped most days and there is only one bobarista working and is so backed up starts making the drinks out of order- first come first serve. This place should have more people working at all times. Outside is dirty and sticky. Not enough garbage cans. Drinks are yummy but pricey. read more

Teaspoon is the only boba place that's open till very late! It's our to-go spot after a movie night. Good quality smoothie and boba. Service is good as well. I just wish they had more hot drinks. read more

Teaspoon Los Altos - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Altos, California

Very fun concept with many many options. Be warned their drinks are very very sweet! The location is a little small on the inside so make sure to place your order and stand outside where there is a good amount of outdoor seating. You can either order in person or they have a tablet where you can view the different options they have and customize everything from the sweetness level to the ice level. I did have mine at the lowest level of sweetness and still too much. read more

Teaspoon has been one of my favourite chain of boba tea shops for years. Mom and I have frequented this location in Los Altos for years, but have recently noticed some of their aspects diminish in quality. Located in the Village Court Shopping Center, there is ample parking for patrons. The interior of the shop is tiny - maximum occupancy can't be more than fifteen. They do, however, have an outdoor patio with a few tables for those who want to stick around and drink. The full menu is no longer posted on the wall; only Seasonal, Classics, and Signature drinks are reflected on the digital menus on the walls. Under the Create Your Own section, in fine print, there is a line indicating, "Ask our team for the complete menu options." Weird and inefficient. To boot, they have removed some Toppings like red bean (so now Mom has scratched this place as a favourite for boba). Service could be taken up a notch as well. They take orders in batches of parties, pause, then resume. The ineffective manner creates the long line out the door. When serving the drinks, the cups are consistently wet/dirty with beverage residue that I almost always need to ask them to wipe them down. They once also totally forgot about a drink order. My favourite drinks: CREAMY JASMINE with Almond Pudding THAI TEA with Grass Jelly Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with Honey Boba and Almond Pudding MATCHA ROYAL with Honey Boba Hojicha Green Milk Tea with Grass Jelly and Almond Pudding Now that they have discontinued serving red bean as a Topping, I might need to persuade Mom to return... read more

Out of the 6+ Teaspoon locations, this is my top 2. The other spot is the Santa Clara location. The customers tend to be on younger side later in the evenings and the afternoons. The Teaspoon app always seems to be having issues and also the web version too. Solid location if you are in the area, which is at a cross section of busy streets. Opens later than other tea places in the area. I used to work in the area, so my team would always come here. Just a fun place to grab a drink, sit outside for a bit, and then head on your way. It can get really busy with a long line and parking isn't always easy either, so budget your time or have someone order your drinks because many cars are double parked here. read more

Overall tasty boba - I've been here before and haven't been a fan of their milk tea, so decided to give them another chance and ordered a fresher tea. Overall tasty, particularly with the addition of aloe Vera. Came out to ~$7. read more

The caramel boba was good however I was not happy with the service. I ordered through the online app and a pick up time of 9:55pm was set. I got there at 9:51 and saw my drinks in the queue. 10:00pm and my drinks have not yet been prepped and she has been prepping other orders. I finally asked when my drinks will be ready. She then said that I did not check in with her. There was no instruction or message to check in with staff once you arrive. I found it rude the way she communicated with me. Bad customer service. The least she could have done was apologize and let me know of their process. To the management of the business, please improve on your customer service! read more

There was an issue ordering from this tea spot over Yelp. This tea spot sends the order through GrubHub, which took the money for the tea order, but the restaurant did not respond with any confirmation or with the drink. Ordering -in-advance feature was broken for me, and the money was lost with no drink and no compensation. If you want tea from this place, I suggest ordering in person to be sure. It felt awful. When I called this place to discuss/resolve the issue, no one picks up the phone. Money thrown away, go figure. I don't recommend this place. read more

Teaspoon has blown up over the last few years, and I think the most successful shop is still the OG location here in MTV. I think a few reasons for why this is the case: high demand but low competition, late hours, and a good brand presence. While I do like it's locally owned, but TBH I'm never impressed with the drinks - always way tooo sweet even if I adjust, and everything tastes so artificial. I hear another boba shop is opening up nearby - can't wait for that! ;) I came here after Gen, and tried the strawberry matcha with boba (a drink that blew up because of Boba Guys, I think). I liked everything except the boba - it had no flavor, but liked that it was warm enough so it had a nice chew and warmth. Other drinks are mediocre to me...not sure what I would really recommend to anyone if they asked what to get at Teaspoon. Every location changes in quality, so this location may be your best bet for consistency. read more

I just got helped by Anna at this location & I had to leave a review because she gave some great customer service. She was very sweet & quick to help me out. She also made the drink in about two minutes, so that was another great thing about her & then she was so apologetic about not having any lemon slices for garnishing, but I don't think that's a big deal at all. I just really appreciated her being so kind. Love this Teaspoon location! read more

Placed ordered for office event. Order was delivered 1 hour late when almost half the folks had left the event. Utterly unprofessional, order was placed 2 hours before as well.

I have been to several Teaspoons, and after this visit I still think this bubble tea shop is just OK. I think their fruit drinks are slightly better than their milk teas but I don't like them enough for me to frequent Teaspoon that often. I decided to try the black assam milk tea with boba. This one comes with the sugar on the side of the cup and thus the sugar level can't be adjusted. I expected this to be pretty sweet and yep it was pretty sweet. I have commented in the past that their milk tea drinks taste watery and I felt the same way about this drink. I don't get that nice mouthfeel I like at some of the other boba shops. I also thought the boba wasn't as chewy as it normally was, unfortunately. Service was very nice and prompt. There's some seating outside where you can hang out with your friends! read more

Woman at the register with black hair and bleached ends was rude. I asked her if there was any tea without caffeine because I'm pregnant she rolled her eyes and pointed to the menu behind stating anything with a line through the leaf means no caffeine. While i was trying to put my phone number in she skipped the screen to tell me the total. Every customer after me she was nice to and asked if they'd like to input a number an was very patient with. I was very kind while asking questions and just wanted to make sure i didn't order anything with caffeine. Maybe she wasn't having a good day, i get it. I like teaspoon, but won't be returning to this location. read more
