    Mochi Mango & Jasmine Green Latte w/ Salted Foam
    Rachel L.

    Yummy! I really enjoyed how fragrant my jasmine tea was with just the right amount of bitterness and creamy foam in top. The mochi mango drink was really delicious but in the sweeter side. I wanna be back to try more drinks. Our drinks came out within a few minutes and it was pretty much empty when we came. The place itself looks very clean and spacious but there was a weird sour smell.

    Cute cat themed boba shop! So many cats everywhere. Their cat logos are printed on the walls. Mini cat figurines in different poses fill up the counter. The Mango Sweet Dew had real chunks of fresh mango inside. The blended smoothie also includes jasmine green tea, coconut milk, house made milk, agar boba, and pomelo. Rich taste and thick consistency. It paired well with the Brown Sugar Boba that really soaked up the brown sugar flavor well. The Cheese Strawberry had real bits of strawberry and was creamy from the cheese mousse. This blended smoothie has jasmine green tea as well. We also added Agar Boba, which was nice and chewy. They have a kiosk at the front counter to place and customize your drinks. The wait time can take a while, so would recommend ordering ahead online. I liked that both drinks have fresh fruit in them and the fruity taste really comes forward. Very cooling and refreshing. Will return to try other drinks and toppings!

    First time trying 3Catea, and overall we really enjoyed it! We ordered the Avo Mango Sweet Dew and the Mochi Mango, and both drinks stood out for their unique textures and flavor combinations. The avocado mango drink was smooth and creamy without being too heavy, and the mochi mango was fun and different, especially if you like chewy textures in your drinks. The person we went with had tried 3Catea previously in SoCal and mentioned that it didn't quite taste the same or that the mochi felt a bit different, so now we're definitely curious to try it again at another location for comparison. That said, for us personally, we still enjoyed both drinks and appreciated how different they were from your typical boba options. The interior was clean, and the staff was nice and welcoming, which always helps with a first impression. Overall, a solid first experience and a spot we'd be open to revisiting, especially if you're in the mood for something a little more unique.

    Mochi Mango  Biscoff Jasmine with Mochi

    I ordered a jasmine biscoff with mochi and I really liked the drink! I personally don't think there was enough biscoff cookie flavor but the drink was still good. The wait did take a while but there was quite a crowd. Store didn't have a lot of seats and people were just standing around, very much a grab and go place.

    Pleasantly surprised with the quality here! I heard 3CAT comes from SoCal, but I rarely hear people talk about it up in the Bay. The green tea drinks were tea forward and delicious. I would definitely come back to try other drinks on the menu. RECS: + Jade matcha ($7.25, 4.5/5 stars) had a matcha forward cream top and paired with the jasmine milk tea was delicious + Jasmine cheese mousse ($6.25, 4.5/5 stars) had a pleasant jasmine taste paired with airy cheese foam!

    Mochi Mango is like the best mango milkshake
    Victor L.

    I only had 1 drink here and I'm sold. The mochi mango is a refreshing dessert if you're a fan of milkshakes. Last night I was craving a milkshake for the first time in months. I got a Five Guys Oreo shake for about $7 and I thought it was a little too thick and too sweet. Less than 24 hours later, my wife got this mochi mango drink and this turned out to be the milkshake of my dreams. Mochi Mango (5 stars) + Creaminess dulls the sweetness or maybe because we asked for less sugar + Mango mochi at the bottom can be mixed so it's more even but I don't mind the division of goodness. It adds a silky smooth texture to the drink! + Best milkshake density is the only way I can describe how easy it was for me to slurp this delightful dessert drink Service (5 stars) + Didn't have to wait too long although it was somewhat crowded + Kiosk ordering is always a plus Ambiance (Clean) + That's all I can ask for

    Originally ordered the Jasmine milk tea and Mochi Mango, but was told they ran out of jasmine and were brewing another batch; additional 15 minutes. Appreciate that they gave me the option to wait or pick another drink. I went with the Floral black milk tea instead. Not my first choice since I usually don't like "floral" teas, but when I asked if it was really floral, both workers giggled. Drinks did take a while even though the shop wasn't busy, so be prepared to wait. Not docking stars for it, but definitely not the spot if you're in a rush. Store is nice and clean, with a single row of seating (not really a hangout spot for groups). The menu could use clearer descriptions. I was a little intimidated at first glance. Like, what exactly is a "Dragon Well milk tea" or "Floral milk tea"? That said, the Floral black milk tea turned out great. Fragrant, smooth, and not overly floral at all. Wish there was more ice, though. Their "latte" straws (three mini straws stuck together) are... unique, but kinda weird. My only wish is that they'd change the milk tea cups. The design makes them look like hot drinks when they're iced. The Mochi Mango was a winner: great texture from the mochi, creamy, real fruit, not overly sweet, and the crunchy bits worked well. Will definitely be back to try more drinks and to reorder these two favorites.

    Very Good~best tea in Bay Area!!! Highly recommend ! And the cup looks very pretty!

    As for premium pricing and LA boba places to Bay Area. I've never had this place before in LA, so can't compare. This Milpitas place is the only one one the bay area! It is one of the best boba teas I've had. Each drink is closer to ~$10, but wow the flavours are layered and really freaking fruity. -I had the Abo Mango tea and they blend up real mango with a creamy fresh milk top. It really does make up the price because of how premium it does taste. advice: multiple drinks:: order ahead with door dash and it's about ~30mins or less, depending how busy. It is a clean newer place with ambience music inside. Staff is responsive and accurate when getting an order. You can order from terminal or if not counter. They display pre hand some drink orders because of the work it takes. Overall, A must try boba places for the money. -Parking can get hard to find. -Every drink is a good choice, it is also A/C, for these hot summer days. Would recommend & going back for the experience.

    There's 4 boba places in the plaza so parking can get tight. But out of all of them, I really like 3Cat's drinks. It's very premium and close in comparison to Molly Tea or Hay Tea. Wait times are a bit long but it's worth a try if you're willing to wait and willing to drive all the way to another place for the same premium type of tea. 2 digital Kiosks to order from. I tried the Mochi Matcha - Less Sugar ($6.75) and the AvoMango Sweet Dew - Very Less Sugar ($7.25) and bother tasted really good. Mango was more on the sour side for me, but my mom really liked it so it might depend on your taste palette. I really like their mochi topping in the matcha drink! Like one other comment said, substitution and add-ons could make your drink cost like $10 but if you get your drink the way it is, then it just costs like any other boba place these days.

    Came here on a Sunday and ordering was super fast since there's 2 kiosks! I liked how spacious it was inside and I LOVE cats it was so cute to look at I ordered the Jade Matcha! Heard great things about it and it was sooo yummy! I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since and it's so out of the way but I'm willing to drive there again soon My friend got the Mochi Mango and it was super yummy too! A bit sweet so I would reccomend lowering the sweetness unless u have a bit sweet tooth :p

    Mango Mochi Mango and Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea
    Grace C.

    The mochi topping here is so delicious!! The tea is fragrant, the tea jelly is a bit sweet. The texture on the mango slush with the crunch topping and mochi topping is great, bonus that it's caffeine free! Only complaint is that the dairy free options are pretty lacking AND expensive. It's not offered on every drink and can only be subbed for oat milk for an extortionate, extra dollar... Once you sub milk and add toppings, you're looking at a nearly $10 drink, which is a no go except for the rare occasional treat.

    I've ordered 3Catea from Doordash before, and it's always been a success with my team. I love their Mango Mochi and their Mochi Barley Burst, the gumminess of the mochi topping goes so well with thicker consistency smoothies and dairy-based beverages. I always feel that most milk tea stores fall into the dichotomy of either being gimmicky/having unique flavors or being authentic, but 3Catea manages to perfect having very floral and strong tea flavors while also experimenting with interesting fruit/tea/topping combinations. This particular time I visited in person, I was surprised at how cute the interior is! I haven't been to a boba store in-person in the Bay in a while, but it's super clean and they have a lot of cat symbols and little feline figurines lined up where the beverages are being made. I ordered the Avomango Sweet Dew with brown sugar boba at minimal sugar (since I expected the brown sugar boba to add a bit more sweetness as well) and it was so yummy! I think I'd remove the agar boba if I wanted the brown sugar boba, since the drink ended up having a higher topping to drink ratio than I typically prefer. The avocado was so creamy, and the citrusy punch of pomelo and sweet mango flavor went together so well. I do hope that they expand further in Northern California and experience further success with this location. Make sure to order online ahead of time if you're picking up your order and want to save on a few minutes! There was one person in front of me waiting for their drink, but more people were placing theirs virtually so it took me around 10 minutes on a weekday evening to receive my drink. 7

    I have question on the avomango smoothies. Does it come with any other fruits except avocado and mango? What about the dairy?

    Is there non-caffeine drinks here?

    Yes! Their "Fresh Fruit & Tea" and "Fresh Milk" drinks include some non-caffeinated options. Just take a look at their menu online or in-store.

    What time do you close?

    8 pm, 7 days a week!

The cilantro and pickled veggies tasted good, as well as their bread. However, I wish there was either more mayo or pate spread as it felt a little on the dryer side. The banh mi did take a while to come out. I got my drink fist and probably waited roughly 15-20 minutes for the banh mi. The staff were friendly! Overall not the best, but also not bad. They have a variety of coffees and matchas so I might return to try more or possibly their pandan waffle!
