Visited on a Friday afternoon to satisfy a boba craving and was greeted right away by a friendly cashier. So many drink options to choose from but ordered the Brown sugar milk tea and the Salted caramel cookie dough black tea from the favorites menu. The cashier recommended reducing the sugar level to 50%, which was perfect. Both drinks tasted amazing--the honey boba was soft and perfectly chewy. Definitely hit the spot. I'll be back next time I'm in the neighborhood! read more

Tpumps - Brown Sugar Milk Tea & Salted Caramel Cookie Dough Black Tea w/honey boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

One of the best boba places everrrrrr for like the last 10 years now. Their boba is top tier, I'm talking softest, freshest, chewiest boba everytime. They are so consistent and never miss even after all these years. Love that you can customize the drinks with any flavors - the combinations are endless. Service is also quick. My go to is the strawberry peach lychee BMT with honey boba. But I know a lot of people love getting the PMS. Mango coconut is also a good refreshing combination too. read more

I enjoy going to Tpumps, because it's right next to where I live. The lines are usually short, and they have weekly specials in the fridge for under $5. I also love that they have a customer favorites menu for people who can't decide what to order. When I went in, the girl asked if I wanted any toppings, and I declined because I didn't want to pay extra. Later, I noticed that honey boba was free on the menu, so I asked her to add it. I wish she had mentioned it earlier when I was ordering, like, "The honey boba is included, would you like it?" and explain that additional toppings comes with an extra charge. The drink came out quickly and was just as tasty as always. Parking can be a bit challenging, since it's a small lot. They have seating both indoors and outdoors if you just wanna hangout. read more

Still as amazing as before but understandably, an increase of 50 cents was needed with the rising costs. Normally I order it with less sweetness but my latest order was with no sweetness. I found that I got to taste the tea a lot more and it was definitely more refreshing. read more

Tpumps headquarters! Tpumps never disappoints! Always a local fave; and I grab some here whenever I'm in the area! The service is quick, the staff especially the Filipino kid John or something like that, lol is very friendly, and the store is one of the biggest tea shops I've seen yet! Very spacious! Tpumps serves cheap, sugary, and delicious milk and fruit teas! read more

Go on Tuesday which is free upgrade day. Don't get deterred by the long lines, it goes by quickly. There is a gazillion options so you can always try soemthing new and if you don't like it, they are really open to adjusting. I have never adjusted because I don't wanna deal with it but the offer is nice. No matter what combination you get, we were always happy with it read more

It's not bad, it's ok. Really casual place. This tea shop focuses more on the flavor combinations than tea, for example they have toasted marshmallow tea, I haven't seen that flavor profile in a classic tea shop before. They use torani syrups for their syrups. Parking is easy because it is a shared lot with pop eyes and Trader Joe's. They do have plenty of seats inside. I recommend getting less sweet for most of the flavors bc regular sweet is too sweet. read more

My absolute favorite boba spot! I always get passion fruit, orange, and guava green tea. The price is great value and includes boba! They're so nice and helpful and I've had a great experience every single time I've been there. The line moves quickly, and their bathroom is always clean. Highly recommend read more

I haven't had Tpumps in years and this location is the closest to my office. It was hard to find at first. I had to make a uturn to enter the plaza. The store is located at a small but busy plaza. The plaza has Popeyes and Trader Joe's. Parking can be tight and getting out, slightly chaotic, at least during my visit. The store was clean and larger than Cupertino location when it was open. I went on Pumbo Tuesday and I expected a line but it wasn't that busy. Ordering can be overwhelming as they offer a lot of options as well as a long list of customer favorites. I got a black tea Pumbo with guava, strawberry and lychee light sweet. It was a refreshing drink and not too sweet. It wasn't thick with syrup either. I wish they had regular straws as I finished my drink faster with their boba straw. I didn't get boba with my drink either. The wait for my drink was less than five minutes also. read more

Tpumps is good if you go with the right expectations. It's not authentic and it's usually quite sweet from all the flavored syrups but as long as you know what you're getting yourself into, it's a pretty good option. Usually I go with the milk tea with some variation of mango/lychee/strawberry, but most recently I got the rose vanilla green milk tea. It was pretty delicious! Honey boba is good here, soft and chewy. Overall Tpumps is nostalgic to me and I have occasional moments where I'm down for it. A handful of indoor seating available. Shared lot with Trader Joe's. read more

If volume is the name of the game, it's pretty hard to beat Tpumps at that game. Pretty solid if you just want ample amounts of sugary chew without breaking the bank! I'm about it, but given the flavoring is all loads of syrups, I'd keep everything at "less sweet" or "no sweet", lest your diabeetus be summoned forth. Boba quality is pretty soft and chewy so honestly it's hard to go wrong if you don't mind the artificial flavoring. Some tips (for others and myself!): = Be explicit about your order; just cause it's included in the price don't mean it'll necessarily be in the order. =Since they have a boatload of options, *check your drink before you go*. They will make mistakes, just catch it before you leave! They're willing to fix it, it's even on the cup. =Tuesdays have their special free size upgrade, but as you might expect is rather popular so be ready. Parking gets crazy enough with TJ's and Popeye's in this spot. =The full menu is *overwhelming*, so take a preview before you go. Much room for experimentation and with pretty good flavor of tea baked into it. I saw some guava tea samples, which might help you decide. =Even more budget options include their unsweetened tea stuff, seasonal promos or the "surprise" section with the sad mistakes live until they get a new home. Pretty good value for the money. read more

You can choose up to 3 flavors! We got the 32 oz and it was so refreshing! The place is small but great for to go and they do have a small couch inside. Service was great too, everyone was quick and very understanding. read more

Tpumps - On the left (cherry, passion fruit and lychee with lychee bits) - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Man, I remember when this used to be a Starbucks! Lol such a small little parking lot since there's a Trader Joe's, a bank and Popeyes inside, as well as it being located on a corner where it's really hard to make a U-turn, but I really like tea pumps, and their teas. Lol, there's always young college kids maybe high schoolers working here, so as long as they're not on their phones, they are very attentive and helpful. It seems like there's a lot of rollover at this particular tea pumps, but I remember when they used to be on the corner of Stevens Creek and Blaney. There was a lot of rollover there as well. I just think it's a place where a lot of young people work. Nevertheless, I like their deals on Tuesdays where you can get a bigger size for almost the same price And I will continue to come back because I really like their tea and lychee jelly!

Tpumps is the best place to go to if you want great value and still get quality. I always get the 32oz no matter what and it cost only $6 which is rare these days. I recommend getting 'Passion mango honey black milk tea' with 75% sweetness. I personally do not get boba or any toppings. It tastes like hints of lychee and artificial mango with a dash of honey. I get this drink every time it's so good. Service was nice and quick. Place has minimal seating and was cutely decorated for Halloween. You can also try samples which I love. Also right next to a Trader Joes. read more

I feel like this is the Chipotle of boba. Lots of different drink options and straightforward pricing. Parking can be a little rough since it's by Trader Joe's. Usually pretty quick service. read more

The service was very quick with our drinks given it is early. TPUMPS brings memories of our De Anza days after class. It's a classic place to get yummy and quality tea! Not to mention how customizable it is. TPUMPS is a comfort pick for boba whenever we're in the area. read more

Tpumps - Passion fruit boba tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I heard about tpumps for a while and knew I had to try it when I saw it driving by. When I looked at the menu, I noticed that it's pretty much build your own drink, with $5 for regular and $6 for large (more like mega large - bigger than usual large size)! I like how you can combine multiple flavors for the tea, and choose whether to add milk or not. You can also add honey boba for free, but other toppings for an extra cost. I ended up getting a mango passionfruit peach tea with boba and it tasted super fruity and amazing. I will definitely be back! read more

honestly, i was a big tpumps hater before bc i heard their drinks are just syrup, but ive been coming almost every week for the past 2 months,,,, the value is so worth - 32oz for 5.50 in this economy is insane (on tuesdays) !!! service is quick and the workers are kind and they always have free samples. their boba texture is also surprisingly pleasant - soft and chewy and not too hard. the only con is that the sweetness isnt always consistent and the drink is mainly syrup but its grown on me peach mango gt (6.5/10): the classic fruit tea combo - the safe option for non risk takers rose vanilla gmt (6/10): im personally not a fan of this one, but its not bad. the rose and vanilla syrups did not mesh well for me but i would be interested in giving it another shot someday honey peach gmt (7.5/10): my fav combo tried so far! i asked the coworker to surprise me with a gmt and this was surprisingly so good. the honey + peach just balances each other out so well. strawberry + ??? gmt (5.5/10): another surprise me drink but i couldnt tell what the other flavor is besides strawberry. this drink helped me realize i dont like their strawberry syrup im now a tpumps fan and i will continue to hunt for the best gmt combo. see you on tuesdays. read more

Line outside around the corner type store! Family went to Trader Joe's nearby and saw a large line. Of course we had to try it too! The staff are super friendly. They came out and gave us samples to appreciate everyone in line waiting. You can definitely tell the staff care and enjoy working here. Which represents more quality drinks. Really amazing to see kindness you don't find often. I believe the manager grabbed a stack of cups and started taking everyone's order. (Semi think it was because of us being new haha) Drink is hand made and they even have a premade drink fridge for people to grab on the go. At first I thought it was phone orders but it's for people who would like to purchase on the go. This one person bought like 15-18 of them. (They seem a little cheaper than regular ones) My family enjoyed the drinks and we will definitely be back. To the owner if you read this. Your staff is amazing and hard workers. Suggestion do a staff appreciation party read more

This is one of the closest boba shops by my work. It's in the corner spot across from Trader Joe's. The parking lot situation is a madhouse. But their tea and their service is superb. They recognize the usual customers by their first name. Sometimes they even know your order. I like going there when they first open up or at lunchtime. The afterschool crowds has a long line right out the door. read more

Very good and cheap must try and has very good customer service and are very kind and the boba has a soft and jelly like texture. I am a boba pro. read more

Tpumps on a Tuesday sure hits the spot, especially with the free large upsize upgrade! In general, it is a tad on the sweeter side due to the syrup that Tpumps uses. My go-to is black tea with hazelnut, cookie dough, and almond! The flavors blend nicely with the black tea, though it can be on the sweeter side. The boba also adds a nice pop to the tea itself as it is not too overtly sweet and has a good texture to it. There are a ton of customization options with a ton of flavors so definitely check it out if you're in the area, and if you can, on a Tuesday! read more

Small plaza this means parking is not the best, it's a bit challenging, at least from 3-4pm when I visit this location. This Location was clean and overall nice doctor. When I enter Tpumps they had free tea samples, cashier was polite and friendly, I did thought it was funny that my name was spelled wrong and it made me laugh I was unsure that it was me (Rvka) was the spelling they used. I will be visiting again to try other flavors. I might visits at a different time hoping parking is not as challenging at it was this time around. read more

Tpumps - Guava peach green tea (light on sugar) - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I've been coming to Tpumps for a long time and have never been disappointed! We always love Tpump Tuesdays, where they will upgrade you to their HUGE size cup, the Pumpbo, for free! It's always super crowded on Tuesday nights because of this, but the orders and workers are super efficient, so we never wait more than about 15 minutes. You can choose from any of the flavors they have listed on the menu, and mix up to 3! Some require paying extra, as well as certain topping options, tea options, and milk options. Their prices are also super reasonable, with the Pumpbo being $5 on Tuesdays. However, with all the other options for boba in the Bay Area, and especially Cupertino, there isn't anything too special about them! When it boils down to it, it is just tea + syrups. I did try their "mini boba" the other day though, which is complimentary for now. It was exactly like sago, ifykyk! The store is decently sized, with only a couple couches for relaxing. However the parking lot gets really busy as it shares a space with Trader Joes and a few other retailers. read more

Everyone's favorite artificial boba shop. Tuesdays at Tpumps? Always reminds me of my broke college budget days. You can't beat a free pumpbo upgrade or $2.50 for a milk tea in their pre-made fridge. Make sure you expect long lines on Tuesday nights! This location also has a Popeyes next door... Another Tuesday discount spot... parking can be a pain. PLEASE DO NOT GET 100% sweet. Since the drinks are artificial tasting, be sure to get less sugar! Seriously. It'll feel like you're rotting a tooth if you get 100% sugar! Their boba is also very sweet, so keep that in mind. The drinks also don't have a very strong tea taste, so keep that in mind too. My drink recommendations: + Salted Caramel Toasted Marshmallow BMT + Rose Watermelon GT + PMS (Peach Mango Strawberry) GMT + Rose Vanilla GMT read more

Tpumps - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Tpumps is nostalgic for me in the fact that it was one of the first boba places I've ever tried, and I liked it then because I didn't know better. I came here again one time on a Tuesday to get the free size-up. I liked having choices between the variety of flavors, but the drink itself could be better. You can barely taste the tea, and there is a lot of sugar. I do remember liking the honey boba though. There are far better places you could go to, but if you really like sweets and you've never had boba milk tea before, feel free to give it a shot. read more

Decent prices, decent tea, for some non existent reason they don't have the $3 drinks in the fridge at the entrance. No samples. I mean yall serve one item.. That's all you do is serve tea!!! Do better!!!! read more

Tpumps is a classic place for boba.. I always get the PMS green milk tea with honey boba. It reminds me of my high school days. Service is always great at this location - drinks taste good as always and they're super quick! It's a great place to come by if you're craving a quick drink. Price is also pretty good for the Bay Area - $6 for a 32 oz and it includes boba :D read more

Ive had tpumps for many years now but have not gone back for a while. I ordered my usual blueberry coconut milk tea with no sweet but this time its WAY TOO SWEET and the coffeemate flavor was super overpowering. I could not get pass a couple sips. If i ever come back I'll need to customize the exact number of syrup pumps used and switch the milk since it seems like no sweet is still 4 pumps. read more

A true classic and OG of boba shops! My friends and I came here for Tpumps Tuesday where you get a free size upgrade for your drink. The workers were really efficient in taking orders and making drinks despite the long line, and I love the concept of making customizable drinks. You can choose your favorite flavors, type of tea, sweetness/ice, and toppings to your liking. The tea's quality and quantity is totally a bang for your buck. Also, idk who drew smiley faces on our drinks haha but highly appreciate it:) -- - PMS (peach, mango, strawberry) Milk Tea with Boba ($3.50 with promo) // One of the most popular drinks! The combination of creaminess from the milk and fruity sweetness makes this a delicious drink. - Lychee Green Tea ($3.50) // My personal favorite and go-to order. It's so refreshing and the perfect amount of sweetness (@50% sweetness). You can't go wrong with this drink! read more

Tpumps - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

This place definitely caters to a specific taste: SWEET. They have a variety of flavors that is difficult to find elsewhere; however, with each flavor pump is another pump of sugar, which is very addictive. I used to like this place until I found out that their default "milk" is powdered Coffee mate, which is a concoction of oil, sugar, and thickeners, and is so bad for your teeth! You can avoid the Coffee mate if you substitute your milk, but that will cost you. I like that they have a no-caf tea option but hate that they charge for that as well. With all the other boba shops in the area, you can definitely find better unless you're really into the flavors and sugar. read more

Ever since I tried tpumps in middle school, I was obsessed. The long lines would wrap around on Tuesdays and this was at the old location too so when I found out about the new location I was psyched because it was huuge and I could come here during gaps (however I felt that the other location made our drinks better). When the old location closed, we were pretty bummed out..our drinks are now sometimes too overly sweet even with normal lvl, and sometimes too much ice when we ask for less. Pros: I like how the pearls are included in the price and it's very affordable compared to other shops which could be up to $7 a cup!!! crazy. You can also customize the drink or choose from their list of customer favorites! They also have the $2 pre made teas/milk teas as well (+ unsweetened black/green tea) Cons: Drinks can get too sweet whenever I get the Tpumps size but when I get Pumpbo, I think the proportions are better and just like the old location. Tpumps however is also a bit far from me since I don't live in that area or go to school near there anymore. I remember going to the new location during the grand opening week and the owner actually approached us asking if our drink was okay as well as the boba, and at that time the boba actually was tough and wasn't cooked all the way. He let us know that the baristas are still training which is totally fine, he also offered us 2 free teas from the fridge after which was so nice! Covid protocols: Orders are taken at the door with plexiglass just like you would see at 7leaves or N7. After ordering, you go around the building to the back door (if you've been here before you know there was that one door at the back, so go to that one). This prevents crowding while waiting for drinks so this is good! Apple pay is also taken here for contactless payments. read more

Parking is easy to find. Line can get long at peak times so I recommend to order ahead. I ordered the Passion fruit tangerine guava green tea (5/5): boba pearls were really soft and squishy. The 3 flavors were balanced perfectly and I was able to taste all of them. Google/apple pay is accept here. I'm declaring Tpumps as my all time favorite fruit tea shop. Their variety in flavors are expansive and combinations are endless. I highly recommend this place for any and all fruit tea lovers! read more

T pumps never disappoint us. My son loves Tuesday's, it's a pumpo size and I swear I can never finish it. Kids these days down them in one gulp lol. My all time fave is the rose vanilla green tea and my son's is the green apple lychee green tea. Sometimes we just like to stick to our norm and don't go beyond our comfort zone. It's always nice to try new flavors but I don't want to get turned off and waste my couple bucks and can't enjoy it. Please if anyone has any recommendations, pass them on.

So good, love it here. I'd say I'm a regular. Service is pretty fast but the people making the drinks are typically ON TOP of it. Line was out of the door on Sunday and the girl had these drinks out in seconds! (Made nicely as well.) love the location too so if you need some groceries or a dinner, multiple places right next door! And don't get me started on Tpumps Tuesday.. I can never leave without a pumpbo! (Also the variety is crazy.) read more

i love this place. so many flavors/syrup options that you can come up with endless combinations for your drinks. my top two regular orders are either a rose vanilla green milk tea or a peach lavender hazelnut green milk tea. both of these flavors are sweet, floral, and taste so so good (if you're into floral flavors i would highly recommend). still, you can also come up with drink combos with flavors you enjoy! this location can often get busy with a line out the door on tpumps tuesday (which is when you can get the large size--pumpbo--for $5), however, the line moves very quickly in my opinion. i think the workers are very nice and work fast. they typically offer a sample of the day and cheaper premade drinks from their fridge if you're interested of any of the flavors they have made. the inside has a couch and some seating as well as some tables outside too. overall, a nice spot to grab a quick drink or even sit down in ad you grab a drink with friends. read more
