    This TP Tea location was conveniently right next to where we had dinner. Loved the drinks here it was so delicious. Easy ordering through the kiosk. Drinks came out quickly. There were some nice small tables to hang out at inside. The tea flavor here is really good. I got 25% sweetness and it was perfect. My friends all really liked their drinks as well. Always love a good stop into TP Tea.

    Summary * Takeout * Skewers stayed crispy * Good service (ordered at restaurant) Food * Pork neck * Chicken gizzard * Beef skewers * Mantou Pork neck was my favorite. Chicken gizzard isnt my usual jam. Beef was good tho pork neck had a balance of meat and fat.

    Placed an order ahead of time online, and the drink was ready to pick up literally as I pulled into parking space. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Prices are still reasonable. Got the YGF family milk tea which is Tie Guanyin Oolong with the 3 toppings - and it just HIT so hard. Give it a try!

    lychee fresh milk tea & lychee cube pearl fruit tea

    My friends and I decided to check out this place because we heard about the new Lychee drinks. I got the Velvet Lychee Fresh Milk Tea, 50% sweet, less ice, and with boba. The drink was ready in about 7 minutes. I'm typically not a fan of fruit milk teas because they tend to separate and not taste quite as cohesive as I would like, but I loved this drink! The milk tea struck a perfect balance of tea, milk, and lychee flavor. The boba was perfectly soft chewy, the milk tea was smooth, and the drink had a light sweetness to it. It was a Thursday evening, and there were quite a few people were there for the bogo deal. There are a few tables for seating, but most people were doing grab and go orders anyways. They had one kiosk for ordering. They had a restroom in the back which we had to ask the staff for access. This location is located in a plaza, so there was plenty of parking! I'm not sure if these drinks are here for a limited time only, but I definitely would come back again for this drink!

    People keep saying TP Tea is good, but I did not have this experience. We came to this plaza with another lunch plan but saw the tea shop was open so we went in. It was before 11:30am and apparently they were not ready to open. So they told us not to order on the kiosk, not in a nice tone. Then we waited outside, the waitress came out and closed the door without saying a word. Rather rude in the whole encountering. Nevertheless, we went back after lunch for milk tea. It's the regular milk tea with boba. I found their tea too milky and lacking the tea flavor, the boba is also smaller than other places, making it hard to chew even though they were cooked softly and chewy. The place was clean with comfortable and stylish seating arrangements, but most people came for a take out order. The music was Chinese pop songs, not too bad. All matcha were not available. The only good impression is the price is relatively reasonable compared to some tea places, but still in the $6+ range.

    15% sweet is perfect for Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea. I always order this one no boba on door dash or when i use snack pass to order ahead. I dont think the wait is too bad if u drop in and order depending on the day and time. Overall solid milk tea.

    Still one of my favorite, go to milk tea chains from Taiwan. I have been going here consistently since they opened in 2018, always opt for the Winter Melon Tea Latte here when Im in the mood for something a bit sweet no adjustments. When I want something a bit less sweet, I always get their Tie Guan Yin Latte 80% sweet and less ice. Overall if you like your milk tea creamy and tea forward tasting, this is your place. I recommend ordering on snackpass to avoid the long lines as this spot is always busy , not a lot of space to sit inside, and you can get points towards a free drink. ** Also fun fact I learned from my recent trip to Taipei, TP Tea is a chain opened up by another chain in Taiwan called Chun Shui Tang, known as the creator of bubble tea!**

    Taro milk 2/5 - this was not good.. we got 75% sweet and there was no flavor. Just tasted like milk. Two stars only because they use real taro but the taro doesn't mix with the milk. Would've been better if they blended the taro into the milk.

    Mango Tea Latte and Strawberry Milk Tea
    Melody K.

    I got their Mango Tea Latte with Boba ($7.50) and their Strawberry Milk Tea with boba ($7.50). Boba per drink was an additional $0.75. Mango drink was a 3.5/5 stars. The mango flavor was nice but the overall drink was average. The strawberry drink was better, a 4/5 stars as the smoothie texture and flavor was nicely done. The white sofas inside were nice and comfortable and some Halloween decorations were up. There is only one kiosk and the customer ahead of me took an incredibly long time to choose her order so my wait time during this visit was incredibly long because the drinks came out very slow as well.

    ABSOLUTE SLAYYYYY!!!! Such a rich milk tea with fun toppings! I fell in love with the qq noodles they were soooo fun to chew hehehehe

    Roxanne C.

    I enjoy their wintermelon and their green tea! I think the cube jelly is a great topping and I would recommend trying it if you like something chewy like boba but want a change. Not a huge fan of the golden jelly because I think tea top is better for that. Lots of sweetness levels to choose from. Snackpass is a great way to earn rewards and order ahead.

    Moo! My Taro
    Susan Z.

    I am still a huge fan of TP Tea and it's still my #1 boba shop in the Bay Area. Pro tip: order in advance on Snackpass if you are in a hurry or don't want to wait as long for boba. I think they've greatly improved the wait time over the years. They are still very busy though which is great because it means they're doing well! My go-to is the tie guan yin milk tea with pudding or grass jelly. I love that they have a 15% option for their drinks -- I like my drinks slightly sweetness and 15% is perfect! I wanted a non-caffeinated option today since it was late afternoon and went with Moo! My Taro. I think it was just okay - I wish that the taro paste and the milk mixed together a bit better. Taro paste is sweetened and delicious, milk is just milk. The experience of drinking it felt like I only drank loads of the paste or just milk, where I would've much preferred to be able to drink both at the same time (I tried to mix the paste and milk as much as I could too). They have some indoor seating now, as well as some outdoor seats. Not a lot though.

    Super cute statue with a ladder next to it!
    Miriam F.

    Got the Tie Guan Yin tea, 50% sweet with light ice and crema top with boba and it was perfect! Boba was fresh and the tea had a great flavor! Perfect amount of sweetness! They have a cute, kid-friendly boba statue and decor and this place gets super busy! Great ambiance and good amount of seating indoors too. You order at a kiosk, but the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, so you can ask them questions and for pointers. Would DEFINITELY be back. Quality of tea and boba are outstanding.

    TP Tea Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - TP Tea

    What kind of tea do they use in their strawberry milk tea? Is it green tea or black tea?

    Do you still have tie guan yin tea latte on the menu? I don't see it on the Snackpass app

    You could order it on the Yamimeal app.

    How to order online?

    You can order from the Yamimeal App as well, same price as in store!

    Are they open for indoor seating as of March 31, 2022?

    No. However, they have limited outdoor seating options.

    Does anyone know if tptea offers gift cards?

    Unfortunately TP Tea does not offer gift cards.

    Do they do catering? Calling gets no response.

    Tp tea will try to answer all phone calls. If you have any questions regarding catering you can talk to the manager of the store for more information.

    I see a lot of boba shops, but there is always a line around the building here. What is unique about their drinks vs other places, besides being the OG boba shop?

    To add onto the first answer, which I totally agree that TP Tea is a lot stronger compared to other shops. I think something that makes them unique is their QQ noodle topping, you don't find it at other boba shops.

    Have anyone try use yumimeal online orders app to order they tea yet? Is working well? I know they have door dash but since like they charge so much yumimeal's price looks ok

    get snackpass. no service fees 😊

    As of January 2021, do the milk teas (NOT tea latte) use non-dairy creamer?

    They use dairy creamer, but if you want you can change it to a latte and request for oat milk

    Do they accept cash?

    The last time I went in November 2020, they only accept credit/debit cards and no cash.

    Are they open on Monday?

    They are open on mondays again!

    Can I order and pickup?

    Yes. just call and if you're lucky, they'll pick up. If they don't pick up, then just drive there and order. You need a mask to enter the place to place your order.

    What's the order app?

    They had an third party app to order with extra charge per drink, but it was suspended.

    Do they take online order now?

    You can call them and they will take your order! You need a minimum of 3 drinks and you need to pay by giving them card info. They will give you a number and you can pick it up.

    The paper sign on the door says they will open 12-4pm effective March 16, 2020. I went today (March 24, 2020) at 2pm and the store was closed. Does anyone know if they decided to completely close due to the shelter-in-place?

    Yes they are closed 3/23-3/26

    Has anyone tried their tea with cheese creama yet? Is it good?

    Yes! They have seasonal drinks right now too, so you can get the cheese creama with Mango or Grapefruit Tea.

    I went today and the cashier said that their milk teas (not just the lattes) use actual milk. Do they not have non-dairy creamer options anymore? Their menu doesn't make the allergy info clear

    They use non-dairy creamer! The only time they use milk is for lattes and if you request it (it is an additional cost)

    Do they use dairy for their milk teas?

    Only for their "Lattes" contain dairy. They use non dairy creamers for their milk teas :)

    What is the difference between milk tea and tea latte?

    Tea Latte uses real milk while milk tea uses creamer

    Is there dairy-free milk?

    When I asked, milk teas use non-dairy creamer while tea latte uses real milk.

We read reviews ahead of time and saw it was recommended to order online and come and pick up andi felt like this was a MUST DO, if you didn't want to be waiting all morning. I came to pick up my drinks about 25 min after opening and their running count for drinks made that day was already nearing 100. We tried the strawberry avocado smoothie and the mango avocado smoothie and both were great! I would recommend getting the mango if you had to choose between the two. We got 30% sugar (recommended) and I would say that was perfect! We added the oat pearls, and they were good. Different than the typical boba. I may prefer the other kind of boba, but my husband liked the oat boba better. I would love if they had both options to choose between and would love a few more non caffeinated options. Those are my two recommendations for change. We will be back!

It's quite different from a typical boba shop, focusing more on fruit-based and creative specialty drinks, with several unique combinations that you don't see very often. This visit, I ordered the Avocado Snow Ice drink, the signature milk tea, and a durian drink. The avocado drink was probably the biggest surprise of the day. It tasted like real avocado rather than artificial flavoring, with a rich and creamy texture. The grains and seeds at the bottom added an interesting layer of texture, making it feel more like a dessert than a drink. The signature milk tea had a noticeable tea flavor and wasn't overly sweet, making it easy to enjoy. As for the durian drink, it delivered exactly what durian lovers would hope for--strong aroma, rich flavor, and a texture similar to a durian milkshake. The packaging also deserves a mention. The designs are distinctive and eye-catching, giving the brand a unique identity and making the drinks great for photos as well. Prices are a bit higher than your average boba shop, but the quality of ingredients and creativity behind the menu make it feel justified. After trying boba and tea shops for years, it's refreshing to find a place that offers something genuinely different. Not every drink will be everyone's favorite, but the menu is memorable enough to make you want to come back and explore more. Overall, a solid first visit, and I'll definitely be back to try some of their other specialties.

The interior is clean, beautiful, and smells like fragrant tea. I'm so used to waiting 30-50 minutes for drink at their other locations, like San Mateo. I had fully accepted my fate after placing the order, so I immediately walked back to my car to snack on In N Out fries. 5 minutes later, I got a text that my order was ready! There is a sign by the registers stating that drinks are best enjoyed within 15 minutes to prevent the foam from melting too much. I like how their employees ask if you want whipped cream on top of Snowy drinks when you arrive at the pick-up counter. I believe you can ask for the whipped cream in a paper cup instead and get a small package of pecans. They automatically do this for online takeout orders. The Snowy Jasmine is phenomenal! It's fragrant and floral, you can tell the tea is high quality and not watered down. I absolutely love the pecans topping, so unique and yummy. I used to think their super thin straw was just a gimmick, but the tea honestly tastes better through the small straw than a regular straw. 4 stars because the Tongmu Lapsang Bubble Tea is just OK, nothing special. Sunnyvale is one of the better locations and Molly Tea is a solid choice for bubble tea.
