    Large Mint mocha smoothie w/extra mini boba on side
    Irene C.

    Love ordering ahead on TPass esp if I'm ordering popcorn chicken or cuttlefish balls so it'll be ready for pick up! The reg size is like a large and the large is supersize! Still affordable $6 for "reg" w/ topping for the mint smoothie & around $5 for "reg" for milk teas w/topping. The owner/lady recently opened the seating area too.

    Not into boba, but I am into Verde!! Got a simple iced mocha (50% sweetness was just right) and taiwan thick toast (butter), and it was delish, with a light crunch! Nice lil meal to start my Sunday (yes, at noon), and the perfect pick-me-up to prepare for the rest of my day. Cash only at the register, but you can use the self order kiosks at the front counter to pay by credit card. The place was empty, and only one other patron came by while I was there (though street parking was tough on this Sunday). Good amount of indoor seating, outlets by the tables, super convenient for charging laptops/phones. Service was great, and the kiosk quoted me a 15 minute wait for my order, but it was served to me at my table in less than 10 minutes. I appreciate the simple things, and this place exceeded my expectations with just that. So much to love about Verde!

    Sesame milk tea with mini boba

    Used to have one in Cupertino when I went to high school but I think the one in mountain view is the only location left. It's one of the best boba and snacks for the price. I usually get the cuttlefish ball and popcorn chicken, glad that they have the option in this location too. They also have the mini bobas in this location which I can't find anywhere else.

    Oolong milk tea with crystal boba... large!
    Nancy L.

    I love the large size of the boba drinks here. The cup must be 32 oz for about $6. Oolong tea is my favorite but I also get the smoothies here. Great place to stop by after lunch in Mountain View downtown.

    Very tasty popcorn chicken and hot coconut milk tea Wish they would improve their original milk tea like the olden days tho! I think they need to put more effort if they want to stay competitive. I'll return for their popcorn chicken and hot coconut milk tea. Hope they can go quality over quantity, just look at their extensive menu! But most are no bueno

    Large jasmine green milk tea with boba

    Verde is the OG of bubble tea! I've been going to this place for ~30 years, since the mid-90s back in college! Despite ownership changes, they've somehow managed to retain the original recipe. I've literally tried every bubble tea chain in the Bay Area since then (and I drink bubble tea at least 4x/week), and this place does the classic milk teas the best! Another pro is that their prices haven't kept up with inflation. The only con is they sometimes go on vacation without much warning, and you end up driving back home empty handed and disappointed!!

Because, once again, I was distracted by the quality of the food, and there would be no way for me to do anything else, but to eat! Today, I was in the mood for something more than a salad (much as I wanted to preset what I had the first time coming here, I made a concerted effort to order something else...), thus I chose the Forager Flatbread. It took less time to make this time (roughly about five minutes after ordering), and when it came out, I marveled at how it looked like a work of art! Just beautiful! Each piece of herbed formage blanc flatbread had a nice, crunchy bottom (but not blackened) and a slightly tanginess, with a a good amount of "hen-of-the-wood" mushrooms, sweet roasted garlic and a bed of arugula. My, oh, my! My first bite was a multi-level extravaganza! The crunch of the bread, followed by the aroma of the herbs and arugula, then the saltiness of the cheese, the sweetness of the roasted garlic, the earthiness of the mushrooms - all came together as just a wonderful work of culinary art! This being my first time eating today, my saliva glands just fired off at first bite, causing a bit of intense pain from too much saliva shooting out. But, seriously, this was a very delicious entree, that I enjoyed from start to finish! Bravo for this second joyous experience!

They look huge when they first come out, but since they're mostly shaved ice, they melt down and become much fluffier and easier to finish. We purposely chose one fresh/fruity flavor and one more decadent dessert flavor for some contrast, which I definitely recommend. // Mango Cheese Sulbing Yummy overall, and I especially liked the little cheesecake bites mixed throughout. They added a creamy, richer bite that went really well with the mango and shaved ice. I do wish the mango tasted a little fresher- the fruit chunks didn't seem quite as freshly cut/prepared as I was hoping. The scoop of ice cream on top was also surprisingly hard and difficult to eat. We basically had to wait for it to soften and melt before it could be mixed. Still enjoyable, though! // Chocolate Monster Sulbing A fun choice if you're craving something more dessert-y! Lots of yummy Oreo pieces and chocolate flavor. At first, I thought this one was slightly dry because of the cocoa powder dusting, but once the ice started melting and we mixed everything together, the texture improved quite a bit. Interestingly, the ice cream that came with the chocolate monster was much smoother and creamier than the scoop on the mango cheese. Not sure if they use different types of vanilla ice cream for the two but there was a noticeable difference in texture. Overall, Sulbing is still a solid dessert spot, especially for sharing with friends. Lots of indoor seating with some outdoor tables. Great spot for studying too if you don't mind some light chatting around. The shaved ice can occasionally feel a little dry depending on the toppings. Definitely mix everything thoroughly as the ice starts to melt- it makes the flavors and texture much more even. I'd come back and try more flavors!

Craftsman and Wolves is a killer crafts bakery that makes the perfect Kouign-amann. The shop does many things including a signature bread pudding, small in size but big in flava. Measures maybe two and a half inches diameter, an inch thick. Packs a wonderful wowie punch with the seasonally ripe berries and fruit, plus a few pieces of specialty chocolate. My friend who knows from excellent pastries says the goods at C and W are special because the sugars in each item are balanced, not excessive. The goodies we sampled together were scrumptious. Somehow even my pedestrian palate senses that these dessert thingies are distinctive and of ultra quality. Ambiance-wise, it's a noisy place with a few tables lining the windows. You are elbow to elbow practically against neighbouring tables. I know I heard every syllable of the conversation going on to my right-hand side. I also knew it was Korean, so I couldn't successfully eavesdrop... boooooo. Very unique metallic artsy fashioned chairs make the space seem modern. There's merch in the corner and on a wall. You can get coffee drinks too. Service is excellent: the majestically tall staffer -- who I thought was manager but isn't -- was the kindest friendliest soul, very pleasant to chat with. Craftsman crew were mad busy, but always with smiles and ready to help customers. You won't find any bakery bites that are not delectable at Craftsman and Wolves. Kool yummy easy five stars.

Kouign amann actually fell short for me. It's too flaky and lack of the dough-y texture; and theres only sugar coated outside rather than caramerlized layers of sugar in better the lamination. There are also lots of sandwiches options Coffee is also good hence we come back for more. I would skip the matcha latte if you're a matcha snoob. Price is bit high for pastries. I would definitely take friends and family here for the wide option of pastries and sandwiches !

They offer a variety of drinks, from lattes to milk teas to shakes. Some of my favorites include the Mocha Latte and Ube Milk Tea. The only disappointment was the Mermaid, but I'm not a green tea drinker so maybe it's just not my taste. The drinks lean sweet, so for those who prefer less sugar than me (i.e. most people), you should adjust accordingly. Meanwhile, the desserts are just as diverse and delicious. I enjoyed the Ube Cashew Brownie and Milo Cupcake, but would recommend the Ube Leche Flan Cupcake for your first visit. One trend across their offerings is the use of Filipino flavors like ube, Milo, and sweet corn. It makes them stand out in the crowded cafe & boba market. On the other aspects.. the store itself isn't too big but is well-decorated. There's not much seating so most will just order to-go. The service is usually quick so that's not an issue. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Café 86, as I'm pretty sure you'll find something you like.
