I don't often do reviews on Yelp, but the Yuzu Splash Frosty was surprisingly good and very refreshing! I prefer less sweet drinks so I opted for the minimum 30% sweetness. Unlike many boba places that still give you overly sweetened drink even if you opt for low sweetness, this is right at the sweetness level I want. read more

TP Tea - Yuzu Splash Frosty w/ Cubr Pearl - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

It was pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon around lunch time. There are two self order kiosks available that are intuitive to use. Once I placed my order, I could track my wait time through their live update dashboard to see when my drinks would be ready. There are only a few tables indoors and a bathroom onsite is also available. I got the tie guan yin milk tea which is recommended as a popular choice. I was able to customize the sweetness down to 10% and the drink was still a bit on the sweet side once the boba was added in. Overall, creamy and good. My husband got the mango ice tea with aiyu jelly. You could only customize the sweetness down to 30% for this and it was also very much on the sweet side. They have some noncaffeinated options as well, my kids enjoyed splitting a strawberry milk smoothie. read more

After having dinner in this area, I wanted to grab a milk tea for dessert. Initially, I was planning on getting a drink at Tea Hut, but found they were permanently closed! That was an unfortunate discovery. But this bustling area seemed to have a few tea shops at our disposal and seeing that TP Tea was the busiest, I thought to try them. Natural sunlight filled this spacious tea shop as the sun was setting! Though for some reason, they have a fly problem in the center where at least a half dozen flies were circulating. That was a bit of a turn off! But I continued to order through their kiosk anyhow as I was taking this drink to go. The menu is pretty big, so as a first timer, it took a few minutes to figure out what I wanted. I ended up ordering a TREASURE TARO MILK TEA (With taro and pudding). I believe the base for this drink was a Tie Guan Yin tea. It was strong, yet the sweet taro helped mellow the tea's bitterness. I had this drink at zero extra sugar, but I think it could have used just a little more sweetness (10%). I mixed the drink up so the taro would sweeten the tea more, which helped. Service was speedy and I got my drink quickly even with many other customers in the shop. All around, it was a 4/5 experience. read more

I always get the tie guan yin milk tea (30 or 50% sugar depending on the mood and less ice). Boba is a miss; other spots do it better. This location is consistent with other bay area locations. read more

I was driving to work and I wanted to grab a cold drink before my NOC shift and this spot was on the way. Ordering here is very easy. They have a kiosk in which you can order or you can do so at the counter. I got the mango matcha latte w/30% sweetness and lychee jelly. The drink was good but it was lowkey a lil too sweet for 30% in my opinion. But other than that, the drink was enjoyable. Try it out if you like. :) read more

Oops... I did it again because TP Tea totally stole my heart. From the first sip, I was like "hit me baby one more time"--the tea is smooth, bold, and straight-up pop star perfection. The boba? Chewy, bouncy, and dancing in my mouth like it's on stage under the spotlight. Every drink feels iconic, like it was brewed just for me. Sweet, refreshing, and dangerously addictive--I keep coming back and I'm not even sorry. This place has main character energy and zero skips, just hits. TP Tea, you're toxic... in the best way possible. 5 stars, forever and always. read more

A cute and delicious spot for your boba fix! There are some tables inside but definitely more of a grab-and-go. The kiosks made the ordering pretty efficient and I didn't have to wait too long for my drink. I tried the Velvet Lychee Fresh Milk Tea with 50% sweet, and boba, and it was quite yummy! The lychee came through quite nicely and tasted authentic. I'm glad I adjusted the sweetness because it might've been a little too sweet if I hadn't. Quite a few drinks that my friend and I looked at didn't have the option to customize the sweetness level which was a little disappointing but I understand if this was intentional or that some drinks simply aren't possible to be made less sweet. A ton of variety here and plenty of non-caffeinated options as well. I'd definitely come back again to try more drinks! read more

One of my to go place for Boba tea in Milbrae. First time I came when they were on grand opening. You order using 2 of the touch screen kiosk. This store is more roomy compare to other near by TP tea store and this one has restroom. My regular order are pineapple, winter melon, and fruit tea. I never order milk tea. They have special topping which usually you can't find at other boba tea shop. It is quite noodle. It has unique texture and not round shape. I like they have promotion of buy one get one once a while when they introduce new drink. For sweetness I always go with 50% or below but for some drinks you cannot adjust the sweetness read more

Needed a sweet treat after dinner and the kids wanted boba. Thankfully TPTea was open. Very few patrons inside. Extensive menu and again another kiosk ordering establishment. I ordered the mango passion blend, no milk, with boba. Exactly what I wanted, it fulfilled whatever sweet treat craving I had. D1 ordered the strawberry milk smoothie with boba and she really liked hers. 2D2 had the passion fruit tea and liked hers as well. Not sure what my son ordered, some sort of milk tea, but he was very satisfied with his drink. The drinks came out fairly quickly, however the "dining area" could have used some cleaning/ sweeping. But really the previous patrons just needed to clean up after themselves. Entitled much? Literally the garbage can is next to the door when you leave. TPTea was never on my radar before but I will have to say it was very good. I didn't have any expectations prior to this but if ever will definitely keep it as an option. read more

Drinks was great. Place is busy.. I always noticed how busy they are when we pass by and today we tried their tea and it was good

The drinks are good here, and it is on par with their other locations. They also make them quickly. This location has seating which is great ...and not so great. The times I've come here, the tables have always been a little sticky and wobbly. The floor was also sticky. It seemed like they put no budget in the seating area. Moreover, the trash cans were often overflowing, and there were receipts on the floor and tables. Once, I went into the restroom and honestly wish I didn't. It looked like it wasn't maintained at all-wet floors and with toilet paper on the floor. It makes me question the hygiene of this spot. I think the management here needs to do better with staffing to make this location a safer and more enjoyable place for guests. read more

TP Tea is a must go-to stop whenever I'm in Millbrae for a treat. Drink - 4/5 - I really love teas and I think the tea quality here is quite good. I like to stop here for a sweet treat after a meal in the area. The boba quality has a good chew and the milk teas/teas are really refreshing. I usually go for the lemon oolong or a milk tea. Price - $$$ - To be completely honest, it is overpriced here. It's roughly $7-9 a cup depending what you get. I definitely think this is more of a "treat yourself" moment as the other shops in the area don't compare as highly, in my opinion at least. I really enjoy tea so I think it's no different than treating myself to an einspanner from a novelty coffee shop every once in a while. Service - 3/5 - The bobaristas are quite quick and efficient. I usually order via the kiosk and they get the drinks out quite quickly. They seem to have a streamlined process. Ambiance - 4/5 - The boba shop is a bit small, but there are some seating. I appreciate the ability to order in person or via Kiosk. The decor is bright and pretty minimalistic. There's a upbeat atmosphere here. People also order in via app and pick up. Location - 3/5 - located in a bit of a busy area, there's plenty of parking lots and street parking. You can easily park in a lot and walk here. ____________________ **Note: Location rating does not affect yelp review, this is just for informative purposes of other patrons only. read more

One of my favorite boba chains. I've frequented the one in Berkeley and love it, and this one is just as good. My partner and I got 2 drinks to split this time: tie guan yin milk tea and velvet osmanthus milk tea. Both were so tasty - the perfect amount of tea flavor and balanced with milky creaminess. I will say that they were both a little sweeter than expected even though we got less sweet percentages for both (50% and 70%) so if you're a bit sensitive to sweetness I recommend getting a very low sweetness percent. Even with it being sweet, it was still delicious. The shop itself is pretty spacious and clean - basic table setups but there was enough room to stand around while we waited for our orders. It was fairly busy since it was a Saturday afternoon but the workers were nice. Overall, I continue to love TP Tea and recommend it to all my friends! read more

Oh TP Tea, thanks for coming to the US and bringing tea goodness so close to home. This location is very large vs San Mateo and has lots of seating! The team works super hard and fast - you can watch the hustle while you wait for the drink. The drinks come out quite fast considering how busy it is! There's 2 self order kiosks or you can use the snack pass app. Love it when the process is frictionless! I came here after being disappointed on a matcha craving up the block and was a bit wary of getting a matcha drink at TP tea but it was actually decent! I got the strawberry matcha latte with 0% sweetness added and the flavors were nicely balanced. It's not the same matcha depth as the Japanese matcha chains but truly not bad! I still prefer TP tea fruit tea drinks but nice to know I could do a matcha here as well. read more

TP Tea offers a good variety of tea drinks that I don't usually see at some Asian tea places. Good size location with a few tables to sit. We ordered the Golden Osmanthus Milk Tea with Boba. Not a lot of places offer this choice with Osmanthus. Osmanthus offers a bright flavor and floral aroma that you don't find with your run of the mill Jasmine tea or Black Milk Tea. The aroma was clearly pronounced. We ordered 80% sweetness and thought it was actually the right amount of sweetness and we usually don't like our drinks that sweet. The boba was solid, nothing special. The tea flavor could have been a little stronger but overall satisfied with the drink. read more

TP Tea offer a variety of drinks as well as toppings that I've enjoyed. My favorite so far has been their Osmanthus with cream top. I've also tried to same drink but with the Ube cream top and that was yummy as well. I would normally give them a 5 stars but unfortunately their Egg Waffles are disappointing. They are over cooked; too crispy and when you're chewing on it, every bite is crunchy. I prefer Egg Waffles that have a crispy crust but the inside is soft and chewy almost mochi like. I hope they will improve on them. read more

First time at this boba shop. It was super busy on a saturday mid afternoon. Had to wait at least 20 mins for our entire order. The drinks are so good & their boba is so soft to chew. My favorite about this place is the sweetness fragrance from the store since this store can offer to customize your sweetness all the way to 120%. Parking can be hard, the ambiance inside is very modern. They have automated machine reading the orders outloud, and they jusy have a spot by the counter where they place the orders. Overall, if the drinks come faster, this place can for sure be my go-to. read more

So I'm no expert in boba, but my expert friends love TP Tea! To the point that we actually go to Millbrae just for it haha :) Their boba is super good (great chew, plenty of it) - though I love boba as a topping and am unsure why my friends don't generally go for it ... but hey! If you're a fellow boba lover, you'll do great here! Fave drink was a recommendation - the strawberry milk tea is so good! I'm wary of strawberry drinks because it often tastes ... artificial. Which I still like but more so in a Nesquik-style than a handcrafted boba. But here! It is so good! I was instantly converted, and pretty much get it every time :) I would love a 60%ish sweetness option but just do 50% instead. Logistically, there are 2 kiosks where you can order - and wait times are generally like 15min (you can order online but I think there's an upcharge on those orders). Overall, love the place - and it's super convenient for us Peninsula-dwellers :) read more

I love TP Tea! However, I have noticed that the taste and quality of the drinks here, compared to the San Mateo location, aren't quite up to par. I definitely prefer the San Mateo location, but this one still gets the job done when I'm in the area and craving boba. If you decide to come, I recommend the Tieguanyin Milk Tea, which is a creamer-forward black milk tea. read more

I went on a Tuesday night and it was empty. There are two to three order kiosks and two workers behind the counter. After ordering, which was somewhat cumbersome (program was not smooth. The screen was really dirty as well), I went to the restroom to wash my hands (the screen was REALLY dirty). The bathroom was in ok condition but the soap was not locked in and I was unable to get any soap from the dispenser. I went to the counter to let them know but did not get any acknowledgement from the staff after standing there for 5 min. I decided it was not worth the hassle. My order came out somewhat quickly but the taro was cold. It would have been better if they heated the taro up first before adding to my hot drink. I had ordered the Moo milk tea (?) and added grass jelly to it. I didn't taste any of the grass jelly but it also could have melted in my drink so I can't say what happened. The drink was just alright... Either way, the lack of customer service, the lack of attention to detail in the bathroom (seriously, how did you forget to lock the soap dispenser?), and the stickiness of the tables in the shop really put me off. I don't think I will return anytime soon. read more

I am a regular at this place. I drive almost 30min from SF to get my boba fix even if there are so many Milk Tea shops in my neighborhood. TP TEA's parent company, founded bubble tea. It's a huge global shop in Taiwan and now they are Stateside. I order from the SnackPass app and by the time I get there my order is ready. Even when I am in store it is very convenient with 2 point of sales machines people can use to order. I am obsessed with the Mango Boba Milk Tea. No other boba shop has a drink and flavors that compare to this. I should know as I've looked and can never find anything that competes with this drink. It's delish! Their Strawberry Milk Tea is light and refreshing. The Roasted Oolong Mili Tea is a classic and also very good. Another must try is their Jasmine Green Milk Tea and the Strawberry Matcha Latte. They had Ube Milk Tea for a time which is a favorite in the Filipino community. Their toppings like the QQ noodles is unique to TP Tea like boba but like slurpable noodles another favorite of mine when I order drinks at TP Tea. I will keep coming back because they are just that good! Great service always efficient and friendly. 5 stars! read more

I just wanted to share some honest feedback. The last two times I came about 1-1.5 hours before closing, the boba pearls were really not good -- they were very soft and had no chewiness at all. The milk tea also tasted quite different from before. This used to be one of my favorite boba shops in the Bay Area, which is why I came with a lot of expectation. Unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing. If the pearls have been sitting for too long near closing time, I would honestly prefer if the shop just says the boba is sold out rather than serving pearls that are past their best texture. Even if it's close to closing, I'd rather see some items marked as sold out. Serving products that are no longer at their best quality can be really disappointing for customers who come with high expectations. read more

TP Tea in this downtown area of Millbrae is always filled with customers coming in and out. My friends and I considered enjoying our boba in the shop, but the inside and outside seating areas were all filled. I ordered my Thai Tea with 30% sweetness through their kiosk, and I waited for around 15 minutes to get my order. I wanted to try their Thai Tea for the first time due to my already good experiences with their more popular drinks, such as their classic Black Milk Tea or Jasmine Tea. Their Thai Tea was nothing special in my opinion, but I still enjoyed my drink and finished it promptly. The quality between the different TP Teas does not differ much, however, and I would love to come back to this location to try their popular teas that I already so much enjoy! read more

This place has lots of space. It has plenty of seating. There's even a bathroom. That's nice. The mango passion and the matcha with mango were good. Service was a bit slow but all the boba shops in this area was packed and this slow service. The drinks taste good, look professional, and the size/portion of the drinks matched the price. However I don't recall if they have a good menu. I don't even know if they sell popcorn chicken. But it is good place for boba for sure. Just don't expect some creative or flowery boba. Solid A- read more

I love TP Tea, I really do. But I'm not coming back to this location. I brought in my own cup and straw, and after ordering, I asked the person at the counter if I could get my drink in my cup. They had to ask another person who said no for sanitary reasons, and I said I've been to the Milpitas and Sunnyvale locations with my own cup and they've let me. The person asked another person (manager I assume) and came back saying they can do it. Waited for my drink, and what do you know, not in my cup. Seriously? He said he'll just put it into my cup, but that defeats the purpose - you've already put my drink into the cup, and you're going to throw the cup away. Don't understand environmental conservation and less plastic use? read more

Used to only occasionally go to the TP Tea in San Mateo so it's great that there's now a TP Tea in Millbrae!! Popped over for their grand opening BOGO offer and got: Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea (50% sweet) - honestly don't think you could go wrong with TGY. It's my second time getting this (now my current go-to drink), and it's popular for a reason! I think it's a little more on the milky side but you can definitely still taste the tea. Moo! My Taro (50% sweet) - trusted the thumbs up () on the menu and was not disappointed (but in hindsight I guess you can't really go wrong with real taro + sugar + milk lol). Taro was really fragrant, and this was great! Would drink again. Open to trying other drinks on the menu and will definitely be back for more milk tea!! read more

TP is great to have around! Drinks: 7.5 / 10 ; Just tried their Velvet Lychee Fresh Milk Tea at 80% less sweet with boba. I could have gotten 50%, I think their drinks tend to be slightly too sweet for me, especially if you add a topping, I would advise to go less sweet and ask for more syrup if you want after tasting. My sister also got Service: 7.5 / 10 ; Kind of hit or miss in terms of how fast your drinks would be made.. so I would be careful if you think you have 5 min to run and grab a drink. If there is a line, it can take a little longer than average boba places. But otherwise, their staff is always nice and take initiative to ask if you have any questions or would like to order with them instead of the kiosks. Store interior: 7 / 10 ; there are some seats and a few tables available and the interior is nice if you just want to sit and catch up with friends for a bit. We noticed they do have a cute, customized "Millbrae" TP Tea sign which is a great touch. My family and I come by every now and then and have also been to the location in downtown San Mateo. We stopped by on Sun. night for the Lychee series BOGO, and I am pretty satisfied after this visit. The deal was only for the lychee series and your second free drink is the same drink but you can make adjustments and have different toppings. Keep an eye out on their Instagram for deals because for 5 drinks (2 BOGO + one drink not part of the deal), our total was just under $21! read more
