Why did you take out D4 Black tea latte with red bean?!!! It's not the same even if you add the topping red bean. We need that red bean powder back :( I normally don't like to order milk tea anywhere but your black tea latte with red bean was my favorite. Now it's not the same anymore :( read more

You know what you gotta do when you run out of TP...you need to go get more! That's what we did on a recent trip up north. Their tie guan yin milk tea had a fantastic roasted flavor that my family and I loved. I haven't found the same type of tea down here in Southern California. TP is pandemic ready. You order your drinks through a tablet. No interacting with the staff unless it is necessary. It was necessary my first time there as I had no clue what I was doing. The drinks are fairly priced under $5. They allow no more than 3 customers inside at a time. Everyone needs to stay outside and wait for their number to appear on a screen before you can go in to pick it up. Did I say that their tea tastes great? The boba was good. My wife and daughter liked it. Going to TP was just like going to Costco with a long line of people waiting. I don't think TP ran out of anything like Costco does. It was so good that we ended up going there 2 days in a row. We would've made it 3 days in a row if work didn't get in my way. I can't wait until I go up north again because I need my TP. read more

We ordered their strawberry milk tea (C6) and 80% sugar Taiwanese Classic Milk Tea (with Boba, QQ noodles, and Grass jelly) (C3). The flavoring of the tea was great! I actually think maybe ordering 100% will taste even better! :D I'm looking forward coming back to try their Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea (C4)! read more

TP Tea - C4: Taiwanese Classic Milk Tea (Boba, QQ noodles, and Grass Jelly) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

3.5 STARS I read and heard about the long lines for TP Tea Cupertino, a popular Taiwanese Tea Shop's first U.S. location... Even though globaltrotter and super duper elite, Derek S. warned me that there's nothing special about TP Tea, I had to try it for myself. My first attempt was a fail because the line was too long so I thought I strategize a little. For my second attempt, I decided to go during the opening weekend for Crazy Rich Asians....thinking most AzNs would be at the theater for the bargain matinee of Crazy Rich Asians and/or the ABGs would still be in bed, hungover from Dreamstate. Nope, there was still a line wrapped around the corner BEFORE their 12 noon opening. Good thing I arrived 30 minutes before opening and was first in line so I got my order in hand in 35 minutes. It's crazy that people are waiting 1-2 hours for TP Tea. TP Tea's menu offers several types of teas: Black, Green, Matcha, and their signature Tie Guan Yin (Oolong) tea. Milk teas are made with non-dairy creamer and lattes are made with real milk. There's only one size for their drinks and prices are $3.50 - $4.99. Toppings are 50 cents each: boba, aloe, grass jelly, qq noodle, agar, brown sugar jelly, etc. You can adjust sweetness levels for most of their drinks: 0%, 30%, 50%, 80% or 100% and you can adjust ice levels. BEWARE: Their sweetness levels are hella Americanized. I'm glad I read through the less than stellar reviews because they were spot on. 30% sweetness IS plenty sweet and is equivalent to 50-75% sweetness at other tea shops. I ordered the C3. Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea w/ grass jelly ($3.99 + 50 cents): https://bit.ly/2LafkFJ and it was above average. Good creamy mouthfeel and nice roasted flavor. You can tell they use good quality tea but even at 30% sweet, it was still too sweet so it masks the tea flavor. The grass jelly had a glassy smooth texture. My friend ordered the B4. Passion Fruit Green Tea ($4.25). They use a syrup so you can't adjust the sweetness and it's blended in a blender so 1/3rd the cup was icy froth. My friend likes sweet so enjoyed the B4. Considering people are waiting in long lines, customer service needs to be improved. Little things like "Thanks for waiting, how can I help you?" goes a long way. I know, I know it's an Asian business but boba shops are a dime a dozen so good customer service is equally important. Plus, the full time employees are getting paid $23-$25/hour (see Albie F's pic: https://bit.ly/2BwRnZR) so you would think the young staff would be more enthusiastic. On the day I went, there was no "Hi", "Hello", "Thank You" by the staff and the girl handing drinks to customers seemed like she didn't want to be there. Limited seating inside and there's several dog-friendly tables outside: https://bit.ly/2L9apoK. I was looking forward to the smiley paddles but didn't see any. Hmmm, did people cop it for an S&M sesh at home?! 3.5 stars rounded down because Derek S. was right, there's nothing particularly special about TP Tea that's worth waiting in a long line for. read more

Finally got to try TP Tea after hearing about it for so long! My friend ordered and picked it up for us, and she said that the wait was not long at all and very efficient. She went around 1:45/2PM on a weekday, I've heard it can get long so try in the afternoon! I got the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea 25% sweet with Boba and QQ Noodle: 4/5 * The tea flavor is balanced and strong which I really liked! It was also the perfect sweetness. The boba texture is perfectly chewy and slightly sweet, and I REALLY like the QQ Noodle. It reminds me of the jellies found in Vietnamese desserts; it's also perfectly QQ too! The only thing I didn't like was the fact that it's made with powdered creamer (can't confirm since I wasn't there to see it being made but it has that coffee mate creamer taste). Totally fine if you like that taste but I personally don't like it. I would order the organic tea latte next time around! * Also, they are so generous with the boba portion like it looks like I ordered extra boba (love it)! read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea 25% sweet with boba and QQ Noodle - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

One of the most quality boba place in the Bay Area that I don't mind going an extra 10 miles for! The lines are always long, but the drinks are so good! Come and try it out! You won't be disappointed! :) read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin Tea, Passion Fruit Green Tea, Pearl Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

Our favorite tea shop ever. Always consistent in quality and worth the wait on the busy days.

Be prepared for a wait - but it's worth it! PSA - only one person is allowed in the store at a time so send one person in with your order and wait outside or get comfortable in your car. You'll likely have to wait either way since they make your drinks fresh and there's often long lines (yes even during COVID unless you get super lucky). I love the passion fruit tea (it's a fruit tea so no milk)! It's perfectly tart while still lightly sweet. You can't adjust the sweetness on this one the way you can for their other drinks but honestly they optimize it so well I wouldn't change it. The strawberry milk tea is the other MUST. It's actually got bits of strawberry blended in and goes so well with their boba (which is the perfect chewiness)! They have run out of boba a few times so I've had to wait for them to make it fresh again (20-30 min) or sub in small boba which is tiny but still chewy and I don't mind it! read more

I've visited TP Tea a couple of times and my top 2 choices for boba are Taiwan Classic Milk Tea and Tie Guan Yin Boba QQ Milk Tea because these 2 drinks were really good. I really like their QQ noodle topping because it was very chewy. As for the taste of the drink, I can still taste a very strong tea flavor. It's always busy during the weekend -- you'll have to wait for around 10+ minutes after you order to be able to pick up your drink. It's always easy to find parking as well. read more

Rounding up for TP Tea! I saw the signs for this place when I tried the Udon place next door and didn't think much of it. Once they opened, I heard a lot of good reviews and tons of people waiting for it. I was finally able to try on Saturday night around 9:30pm. They close at 10pm! Parking is available in the plaza and I think there's enough parking for when it gets busy. Inside is bright and modern. There are some tables and chairs for seating but there is this empty space in the middle with 3 chairs? Maybe put some more tables or something so it doesn't look so awkward. We got in line around 9:30 and the line was out the door. By the time we ordered our drinks, it was around 9:50. By 10, someone went to cut off the line. We probably got our drinks a little after 10 so I would definitely say it's a 30~ min wait overall. I tried C3, Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with boba. I must say it was pretty good and the boba was just how I liked it. I also tried C2, Pearl Milk Tea and it was okay to me. Just tasted like a regular basic milk tea. I will definitely come back to try another drink or maybe just stick with the one I got. But there seems to always be a line so be prepared to wait! read more

All flavors are pretty good!! I like the strawberry milk tea the best! This place has a parking lot and also there was A line when I got there! The Taro moo has real taro! The strawberry milk tea wasn't too sweet at all and actually taste like real strawberries in it be sure to know that the strawberry milk tea is a bit sweet other than that I will definitely come back here read more

Probably one of my favorite tea shops in the South Bay. Menu options aren't too extensive, but that makes me feel like the tea quality is all the better if they aren't catering to too many options! I personally come for the QQ noodles which are these long, squiggly, chewy boba-like toppings that resemble a noodle, hence the name "qq noodles"! You order on your own with a touchscreen at the front so there's minimal contact between workers and customers. Also waiting is outside to keep the building less crowded. Card only IIRC. Honestly the tea is good but nothing too memorable. Maybe it's because there are so many tea shops out here, it's hard to screw up a good cup. The tea tastes authentically brewed and has a balanced sweetness, but I truly think the unique toppings are the stars here. So far I've tried the classic milk tea, the jasmine milk tea, and the strawberry milk slush(I think that's what it's called?); ALL of which were delicious, not to sweet, and well balanced. A little pricey for the average shop, but everyone has their niche and toppings seem to be theirs. Come thirsty, leave happy. Fun bit: The little machine that calls out your name is hilariously robotic. "Please transact business." LOL, gotta love those curated Chinese business devices. read more

Ordered the D1: Taiwanese TieGuan Yin Tea Latte. Was advised to put 100% level of sweetness, since TieGuan itself is an oolong tea/black tea. Their sugar is from canesugar so pump the sweetness level to 100% will be the same like 80% using flavoring sugar. Overall the taste is good. Next time will order the Taiwenese Milk Tea since it's also their signature. The order came up quite fast although the line seemed to be crawling every single time. Parking is private. Location is next to Uzumakiya restaurant read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin latte. Taiwanese oolong tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

The last couple of times I have been here the wait has been about 45 minutes (I would stand around close to check at the front and ask multiple times just to be told no) and once I receive the drinks have been subpar. Subpar as in ice almost fully melted, drink is borderline lukewarm and very very skimpy on the topping (that I paid extra for AND I ask for regular ice!). You know how you get a drink that's been sitting there for a while. Yeah like that. At least they get their sweetness on point though. Feel like the staff is so overwhelmed that maybe they don't do a good job in either 1. letting us know our drink is ready or 2. Just rushing through and not making their drinks like they used to. My advice is to look at operational workflow so that the drinks are fresh and not melty. Tried the Yamimeal app and that didn't help. I would get my text telling me my drink is ready 20 minutes after I already got my drink. Something just doesn't seem to add up. read more

Wow! My friend recommended that I drive over here for boba, and it was worth it! This is my new favorite place in the Bay Area! Parking is easy, and service is fast. They have a speaker system and call out your number while you wait outside. I had the basic Milk Tea, at 30% Sweet and it was perfect. Only 1 size available. The tapioca balls were soft and chewy, and seemed like they were very freshly made. The line up was long, but it went pretty fast. A lot of people were calling ahead and picking up which seemed like a smart idea. I'll definitely come back here! read more

Stopped by here after dinner at QQ Noodle next door on a Friday evening. You can order through the kiosk and then receive a text when your order is ready; you can also order ahead online for pick up. Don't be alarmed by wait time - the text message I received told me 20 minutes but our drink was ready in 5-10. I highly recommend the tie guan yin milk tea, which is made from a variety of oolong. You could really taste the tea flavor with a hint of roast. The bubbles were mini boba and perfectly qq. A delicious treat after a tasty dinner at one of the many restaurants in this plaza! +Quick service +Fresh ingredients +Order ahead/kiosk +Mini boba +Parking read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

Came by the other day and the entire process took a good 30 minutes during the afternoon on a weekday. Parking is plentiful in the strip mall. Plenty of staff were on hand. Many of them were quite talented too! Ordered the Large Pearl Milk Tea at 30% sweetness and regular ice. Interestingly enough, there is only a single 22 oz size available and the shop recommends 100% sweetness... ...perhaps the shop is encouraging America's obesity epidemic as 22 oz is too big and even 30% sweet was on the sweet side.. The milk tea was flavorful but not super strong. The large pearls were chewy, although quite bland, surprisingly. They do take credit cards, including Android Pay, but do not have any rewards system. ...they also seem to be hiring...$14-15.5/hr part time or $3k - $4.5k/month for full time. Pricing seems to be on the low side, based upon the size of the drink... although I'm sure 22 oz should be more than enough for 2 people? ...it also appears that there are numerous "fake" reviews from users that have 0 friends and 1 review...good thing the Yelp filter caught them! read more

The boba was different and they had unique flavors. I got the Boba Fresh Milk Tornado w/ 50% sugar and ice. Unfortunately we came at around 2pm on a Saturday and they were packed. Waited for almost 25 minutes for our drinks, but could see the workers trying to churn out the drinks as fast as they could read more

TP Tea - Boba Fresh Milk Tornado - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

Finally got to try this place and now see what the hype is all about. The milk tea tastes of premium quality! And the milk teas uses powder, so it's creamier than the lattes. I got the Tie Guan Yin milk tea with 30% sugar. My hubby got the taro milk tea latte with Pearls. It had actual taro bits in it. Def different..not in a bad way. The pearls were the perfect consistency. Slightly sweet, perfect chewiness. And I do like that they were micro sized. I also LOVED there was a bit of slushie ice on top of regular ice. That def was the "icing on the cake". The cashier was super helpful in helping us pick out drinks. Surprised how busy it got even at 2pm on a Wednesday. read more

I tried the Taiwan classic milk tea -- it had three types of jelly! Boba, QQ jelly and grass jelly. I got light ice and 50% sweetness but I think if I got it again I would get more sweetness the tea definitely tasted more like real tea as opposed to the milk tea I'm used to. Overall a solid menu and classic choices. They have a really cool system where once you order you can go stand outside and they have a little light up screen with the number that they just served so you knew when to go back in to get your drink. I've never tried Taiwanese milk tea so it was definitely a different experience! read more

TP Tea - Taiwan milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

Solid 3.5 stars for the high quality tea, friendly staff, and good atmosphere. Somehow I knew I was bound to be disappointed with all the hype surrounding this Taiwanese based chain. While the tea is indeed high quality, it is a bit on the sweet side and the price is pretty high. It's solid but not mind blowingly good. They still have a lot of kinks to work out. The staff is friendly but a bit on the slow side which exaggerates the already long lines. You can have comparable milk tea without waiting 30+ minutes in South Bay. The vibe inside is upscale and their chairs have nice bolstering. However, when there is a line out the door, it just seems a bit crammed even though it's large. Overall, it's good but it can get better and with the wait the way it is, I rather go elsewhere. Might revisit in a few months when they get their act together. read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

last time I came here the tie guan yin was super bitter but this time it was a lot better & pretty sweet. I recommend 50% sweet if you prefer not so sweet things. I'm also not a huge fan of their self ordering because the items aren't organized neatly and not everything showed up on the menu. overall still good and would come back tho. read more

TP Tea - tie guan yin milk tea w/ boba and qq noodles - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

Pretty legit boba place, there's often a crowd of people waiting in line though. You can use doordash to order for pickup, the quoted time is usually shorter than reality so that's nice. Tea flavor is pretty prominent and even better if you reduce the sugar. I had the option to reduce down to 15% which is pretty rare to see at boba shops! read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin Milk Teas, one with boba and one with grass jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

This place just made it to my top of the list. I'm a total fan girl over Tancha and Ume tea (when I'm in Cupertino) because of their innovative menus. However, My friends decided to switch it up and so we came here instead. My girl got the Tian Guan Yin milk tea latte which was their top seller. I got a strawberry milk tea with boba. I know it sounds super basic, but hear me out. The flavor of their tea mixed with microscopic strawberry bits (with what I believe is creamy foam) was soooo good. I also got half sweet which was PERFECT. I'm not a big fan of overpowering sweetness levels. Their boba was decent and could use a bit of TLC, but that strawberry milk tea though. FYI it's also made with dairy-free soy creamer for the "milk". Oooooffff! If you're a true boba fanatic, you can taste the difference between quality milk teas and generic ones. They are conveniently located in a plaza with a big parking lot so you don't need to stomp someone out just to get some milk tea. This place definitely made it onto my list. read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

This a long overdue review for TP Tea. My friend recommended this place and said this is legit Taiwanese tea. It can get busy at times where the line is out the door. Good tea comes to those who wait? Anyways, they use non-dairy creamer for their milk teas, which is a plus for those lactose intolerant. I've tried C1 (milk tea) and C3 (tie guan yin milk tea). I like the C3, which kinda reminds me of oolong. I once got it without milk - I did not like it at all. You'll probably have to play around with the sweetness until you find the right one. Definitely check out this place if you're ever in the area or if you're looking for good milk tea! read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

This location gets fairly busy so prepare to wait a little for your order or even order online on the app. It was just okay to me. I wouldn't travel 30 minutes for this place but if it was closer I would still get because their drinks are decent. I got a strawberry blended milk tea and honestly I liked that the most because it tasted like strawberry ice cream! My little siblings liked it a lot. The drink I got for myself was the C4 Taiwan classic milk tea, I wasn't really a fan of it because the boba didn't really have much to it and I wasn't a fan of the QQ noodles and grass jelly. Their drinks are less on the sweeter side so if you are looking sweeter options get the strawberry blended milk tea that was honestly my favorite. read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

Tried TP Tea for the first time last week after a friend was raving about it, and I must say, this place has some good boba! We got the strawberry milk tea (30% sugar) with crystal boba and it had the perfect amount of sweetness/milk tea taste to it. Love that you can order directly at the kiosk and they'll text you when your order is ready. I actually feel like the wait times they give you are inaccurate because my boba never took longer than 10 minutes which is amazing. Will definitely try other milk teas when I'm visiting the area again! read more

The boba is good, but the service is non-existent. I mean, literally. You walk in, and they make you fill everything out on a kiosk (i.e. doing the cashier's job for them). They don't even greet you or look at you when you walk in. They don't care that you're there. The employees just talk with each other. There's a plastic protector all around the counter/kitchen area (a holdover from the pandemic), and it's basically as if you're watching a kitchen from behind a one-way mirror in an interrogation room. They have nothing to do with you at all. You walk in, you punch in your own order on the iPad on a stand, you type in your mobile phone number (required to buy freaking boba), and you wait until you get a text. And you talk with no one. Wow, what a warm and welcoming experience. Makes me really want to come back. Tipping in general has really gotten out of hand, but what really drives me nuts is when places like this--places that literally make you serve yourself--still have the audacity to ask for tips. The kiosk here still asks you if you want to tip 18%, 20%, or 25% (not sure if those are the exact percentages, but you get the idea). What is the tip for? Who am I tipping? I did all the work myself. Hell, you should be giving ME a discount for doing YOUR job. Sure, you can tip 0% if you want, but it's still ludicrous to ask for anything at all when they did nothing besides *make the drink*, which is what the original price of the drink is for. Like I said, the boba is good, but they make it really hard to actually like the business. There's zero human element. read more

This was the first time I tried TP tea, I got the passion fruit green tea with normal sweetness & less ice - the wait wasn't too bad (walked right in and ordered, waited 5-10 minutes but I think that was because the guy in front ordered 10 drinks) & the price is fair. I think the tea itself is pretty flavorful and tastes like the quality it is. There's cheese foam at the top (I know there's been a lot of places that have been coming out with cheese foam, but this is the first I've tasted), & it was actually a pretty complementing to the drink itself. Definitely check it out if you're in the area! read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

I'm only writing this review based on my experiences from today. I went in to TPTea around 2:30 and the store was extremely crowded. All I could hear was the music and their kiosk system making a "ding" sound whenever a in-store or online ordered came in. I waited for almost an hour for my drink despite the app and kiosk tablet saying it should only take 30 minutes. Every time I went to the counter, the employee would tell me that they needed more time for not only my order, but the order for the others around me as well. Normally, I would give this store one star. The only reason why I will give this store two stars is because the employee working at the counter sending out drinks was very professional and polite. I think his name is XuMing, at least that's what I heard the other employees calling him. He was very polite and had a smile on his face when speaking to customers. He would apologize that I had to wait so long and he would even turn around and help make drinks in an attempt to speed everything up. Overall, I was disappointed in my experience and will not come back until their wait times are more accurate. TPtea, please understand that your boba is good, but your wait times are extremely inaccurate, which causes inconvenience your customers. read more

TP Tea takes over the old Monster Boba location in Cupertino. I found out that this had just opened, so over the weekend I went to check it out. However, the line was out the door, and it was hot and didn't want to wait in the heat, so I left. A few days later during the work week, I decided to try again. This time the line was inside, so I got in line. The interior is completely different compared to what it was like when it was Monster Boba. While in line I studied the menu. The staff were friendly and courteous as I ordered a Passion Fruit Green Tea with Aloe + Jelly. There was a wait as it was crowded, but not as crowded as it was over the weekend. My drink was soon ready, and it was refreshing and tasty. I will have to make a return visit to try out more of their menu. read more

I was getting take out at a nearby restaurant so I thought I'd pop in for a boba drink while I waited for my food to be ready. I ordered the simplest possible drink - boba milk tea and it took me 40 minutes to get it. No boba tea is worth 40 minutes wait imo. They need to figure some stuff out. Will not be back here again. read more

Ugh I hate that I like this place since the line can get bonkers I hear. I got super lucky when I happened to not be working Thursday afternoon, came by at 2pm and there was no one in line. And literally after I ordered, 12 people (I counted) came from nowhere and formed a line out the door. So I think there's really no good time and you just have to be lucky. I personally don't think it's worth the 45 min wait people have described. Id probably only swing by if I were in the area and leave if there's a line. The Tie Guan Yin Latte is one of their signature drinks which I had. The person described it similar to Oolong I think it is smoother than than Oolong. 30% sweet wasn't too sweet which I appreciated. I like that you can either get milk tea which comes with that powdered milk stuff most places use, or as a "latte" where it comes with real milk instead (there's no espresso in it). Limited indoor seating (and it's pretty loud inside) and some outdoor seating. Good luck! read more

I finally found my favorite drink here! The Mango cheese crema was everything I could ask for and more in a drink. Cheese foam, mango chunks and I think it comes with tea jelly at the bottom. The more I dug into it, the more I enjoyed it. I ordered 80% sugar and it was plenty sweet without being overly sweet. I highly recommend this if you like cheese foam, mango and toppings! I can't wait to drink it again. read more

A boba place gets 5 stars if it stands out and is more than just marginally better than the surrounding places. This place is definitely one of the better ones, but I can't say there's anything that sets it aside from the rest. Drink: I got the D7 and I really liked it. I guess if there's one thing that sets this place from others is that they serve mini/small boba, which can be kind of hard to find. The tea itself was good but was not special in my opinion. But again, not bad. Service: I kept asking for things they couldn't do (no ice for the D7, pay with Discover), and I felt annoying but she was very nice nonetheless. Interior/Seating: Quite a few tables and there are some outlets which I think makes this place a good study spot. Only thing is that it can get really busy which makes it not so quiet. Also not complaining but I asked for the WiFi password and a worker told me it was tptea8888, but when I tried it, it did not work. I asked her again and she said the same thing and she said it was all lowercase, but I tried it and nope... so hopefully someone else figures it out! read more

TP Tea - D7 - $5.13 after tax - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

One of the best boba places! I love that their drinks have such good depth of flavor, especially the Tie Guan Yin tea. I always get the Tie Guan Yin milk tea or Tie Guan Yin latte. The milk tea tastes more dessert like, as it is more creamy. The latte is made with fresh milk, so it isn't as creamy as the milk tea. I always get boba as well and the boba is not as big as other places, it's pretty small here but it goes well with the drink. I've also tried the 3Q drink, which is Tie Guan Yin milk tea that comes with boba, qq noodles, and coffee jelly. The coffee jelly is really good! The flavor of the coffee in the jelly really comes through, and it complements the milk tea very well. I would say that the 3Q drink is definitely heavier as it has all of these toppings. I like my drinks on the less sweet side, and I usually get 30% which is perfect for me. There's usually a really long line to order and it takes a while for them to make the drinks, so I would recommend ordering ahead on Snackpass. read more

TP Tea - 3Q TP Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

TP Tea is one of my favorite boba spots in the Bay Area. The drinks are authentic and reminiscent of the drinks you would get in Taiwan (true to their name). My go to drink is the tie guan tea latte with no ice, 100% sugar, add pearls and qq noodles. I usually prefer my drinks on the sweeter side, but I find that the flavor of the tea they use here is very nuanced so 100% is a perfect balance of tea and sugar for me. read more

You know it's good when the line goes out the door. I've been here several times now, and the only time I made it inside the doors immediately was when it was raining (person after me wasn't so lucky). Rain or shine, expect a line. I always get C6: Boba Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea ($4.75 one size, 100% sweet 0% ice). The boba is always soft and chewy and made well. Unfortunately the parking lot is usually packed as it's a popular plaza. I recommend carpooling if possible. Furniture is really interesting and lots of different shaped chairs. Not really a study area from what I can see, though there's wifi. It's more pick up and go. read more

I honestly don't see why people rave about this place, it's not even that good. First time stopping by yesterday with my family and ordered their Premium Green Tea Latte (D4) with boba, which is basically just green milk tea.. I never had to pay close to $6 for watered down tea before so this is definitely a first. My photo looks like it would be super creamy and delish, but all I tasted was cool watered down tea you get for free at a Chinese restaurant. Not worth the hype and definitely NOT worth my money. The only pros about this place is that it's in a plaza so there is plenty of parking. Cons is that it's pricey and I wish this shop was another boba shop since its really close to my house. BOOOO read more

I've been here twice and have gotten the tie guan yin milk tea both times once with boba and once with grass jelly, and it never disappoints. The toppings here are just okay though.

It took about 25 min for my order to be ready since I ordered. read more
