Drinks were just ok for us. Would we have it again sure if we are in the area. Nothing really stood out for us. Just a nice refreshing drink on a hot day.
Got the Mochi Mango at regular sweetness and it was perfect -- sweet, creamy, and fun to drink from the texture of the mochi. Definitely a tad bit pricey but worth it for a delicious drink that was hard to put down. It takes a minute to receive your drink so consider ordering ahead if you're in a rush.
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.
This is more than give time we visit 3Ctea. Like usual, the spot mango glow taste delicious and satisfying
I really enjoy 3Catea for their really strong tea flavor. It isn't like some stores where they have to add a lot of sugar in order to taste good. From the first sip, the tea flavors really shines through and the milk adds just enough body to the drink to make the tea shine. I always order the jasmine and you can definitely taste the floral notes on top of the green tea. My one complaint about this place is that they are pretty slow in making the drinks as they go in order of when they receive the order. So they don't necessarily prioritize the people ordering in the shop so I usually do have to wait around 10-15 minutes before I can get my drink.
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.
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!
One of the Best Asian Drink Spots in the South Bay - and I've tried many! The drinks here taste premium and high-quality. We ordered the Mochi Mango and the Mochi Barley Burst. The Mochi Mango was a standout - light, refreshing, and creamy with a milkshake-like texture. Once I took a sip, I couldn't put it down. Yes, it's that good! The texture might be a new experience for some people, but it's worth trying if you want to explore the creative side of what a drink can be. If you enjoy fruity, creamy, and delicious drinks, get the Mochi Mango. Think: an Asian-style mango milkshake. Next, we tried the Mochi Barley Burst, which is Floral Black Tea with popping boba and mochi. The tea itself is excellent - not overly sweet, with just the right balance of sugar that still allows the tea flavor to shine. Many places tend to drown their tea with sugar, milk or syrup, but not here. You can tell the tea quality is high. As for the toppings, the popping boba and mochi were decent - fun for texture, but not particularly flavorful. The mochi is minimal and at the bottom. If you're in the mood for something different, it's worth trying; otherwise, I'd recommend the regular Floral Black Milk Tea and save a dollar or two, or opt for adding boba. Overall, 3Cattea is easily one of the better Asian drink spots in the South Bay, and the prices justify the premium taste. Highly recommend!! Bonus Tip: If you order togo, you get a nice takeout bag that you can reuse for other purposes.
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
i got the osmanthus oolong milk tea and liked it a lot. the tea flavor was strong and fragrant. my order took longer to come out compared to other boba shops even when the store was pretty empty, but i didn't mind. the other drinks sound unique, i'll be sure to stop by again when i'm in the area!
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.
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.
Decent sized plaza parking lot, and easy to order inside. There wasn't a line to order at 4pm on a Saturday. There is a long bench to sit in inside with a few small round tables spread out. The screen behind the counter shows your number and if your order is ready. It initially said 25 minutes but I think we waited 15 for our drink. We got the frosty mango sticky rice (regular sweet) which was delicious. It didn't seem to have as much mango as I was expecting but the sticky rice flavor was spot on. It was as good as sticky rice you'd get from a restaurant, except it's in a cup. The rice was chewy and soft. Wish there was a bit more mango in it but still great. Could have also got less sweet but regular sweet is totally fine too. read more

If you like mango coco boom boom from hey tea you'll also like the mochi mango drink at 3Catea! It's basically mango coco boom boom without too much of the coco flavor. It's more mango with yummy chewy mochi bits cream on top! This is my favorite and only drink I've had so far from here. I didn't give it 5 stars since we had to wait like 30-40 minutes for our drinks and there were 3 people working. It didn't look busy either on a Sunday around 3pm. Anyways I recommend the mango mochi drink and I do like how spacious it is inside! I will definitely keep coming back to try their other drinks! read more

The drinks are good, and I like that they use real fruit instead of just artificial flavors. You can definitely taste the freshness, and there are some great options to choose from. My only complaint is the wait time. I don't really understand why the average wait is around 30 minutes for a drink. That seems pretty long, especially when you're just ordering a few drinks. Overall, the drinks are worth trying, but I do wish they could improve the speed of service. read more

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. read more
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. read more

Order ahead because the wait is pretty long. But other than that, I am obsessed! I usually get the rice frost (less sweet because it's pretty sweet) and the mochi barley burst and I love that it's consistently delicious. Ive been going back to back weekends read more

If you're a jasmine tea lover, brace yourself, the tea here is strong. One cup packs enough floral intensity to keep you alert well into the night, so sip wisely if you're sensitive to caffeine. The flavors are excellent, but the wait can be long. Orders may take up to 40 minutes, so it's best to plan ahead. Ordering in advance is highly recommended to avoid delays and ensure a smoother visit. Overall, a solid spot for tea enthusiasts who appreciate bold brews and don't mind waiting a bit for quality. read more
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. read more

I recently tried a new jasmine focused boba shop, and the cat-themed decor immediately stood out. The space is thoughtfully decorated and adds such a CUTE and cozy atmosphere. Whenever I try a new spot, I always order a classic Jasmine Milk Tea as my "test" drink. I got the Jade Matcha (100% sweet), and my partner got the Biscoff Jasmine Milk Tea (100% sweet). I prefer drinks with a stronger tea presence rather than an overly milky base, and this one struck a nice balance. The jasmine flavor was pronounced, and the matcha topping was rich and flavorful without bitterness. The Biscoff Jasmine Milk Tea was smooth and well-balanced. Even at full sweetness, it wasn't overwhelming. The Biscoff added a subtle cookie note that complemented the jasmine nicely. There's a decent amount of seating too, so it's a good place to sit and hang out instead of just grabbing your drink and leaving. Cute vibes + solid drinks = I'll definitely be back. read more

Happened to find this cute cat themed spot! I got their mango milk and felt that the drink took awhile to make and did not get notified that it was ready until I asked about the status. Thought the drink was ok but there's lots of other options available to try out! read more

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 read more
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 read more

This place unfortunately doesn't go up to the standards of the 3cats in SoCal. We got the mangomochi drink and the mochi was not the same. It tasted hard and the mochi wasn't chewy as it normally is. We loved the one in SoCal but this one just wasn't the same. There's a long wait time for both areas but this one didn't seem worth it. It also doesn't seem like a place you would stay drink and chat. read more
VERY CUTE INTERIOR AND CAT THEME! Prices were around like $8-$10 dollars which I think is fair for a boba place in the area to say for the least. I forgot what I got, but it was some avocado drink and it was pretty good! They took a while though but it was honestly worth the wait. My friend got the mango drink and thought it was good. Overall positive experience :D read more

I really enjoy their Mochi Mango! It is a milk tea that I have honestly never tried anything like it before. It the consistency of a smoothie but it also has mango bits on the base and it comes with homemade rice mochi which for me is the star of the drink! The only cons I have are the wait time and the no AC in the building. If you are in a rush I recommend to order ahead but even then, most of the time you have to order maybe 20-30 mins ahead. The AC does not work or they do not have one which makes the wait time less enjoyable. If you are claustrophobic I would recommend you to wait outside for your drink. read more

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.
