    Sunlit mango glow
    Lily W.

    I love their mango smoothie without any tea. Not really sweet and very tasty flavor. Highly recommende

    Mochi Mango
    Thu N.

    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.

    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.

    Mochi Mango & Jasmine Green Latte w/ Salted Foam

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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

    Mochi Barley Burst
    William L.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Saw this place on DoorDash with a discount, so we were excited to finally give it a try. We ordered…read morethe Strawberry Marble and Brûlée Swirl. Even with the discount, I thought the drinks were still a bit on the pricey side. When I arrived to pick up our order, I was pleasantly surprised by the decor. The place is really cute and inviting and definitely has the kind of ambiance that makes you want to sit down, relax, and enjoy your drink there. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay since I had to bring the other drink home to my daughter. I tried my drink and it wasn't bad, but I didn't love it either. I actually really wanted to love it because I liked the atmosphere so much and would have enjoyed coming back to hang out there. When I got home, my daughter tried hers and said it was just okay. She didn't even finish it, which pretty much summed up how we both felt about the drinks. Cute place with a really nice ambiance, but unfortunately the drinks just weren't for us, especially for the price. Probably won't be back.

    Came here this past Saturday and so glad I got to try this place while I was in the area…read more I ordered the L.A.C at 50% sweet (normal) and subbed oat milk. This is their phin-dripped Vietnamese coffee and jasmine matcha tea. I had never seen this combination before. They're all things I love, so I was very intrigued. The L.A.C was delicious. The jasmine was very fragrant and forward, which I really liked. The coffee, jasmine, and matcha blended well together and created a nice and tasty drink. It was enjoyable and I would definitely order it again.

    Day Visited: Sunday at 12pm Price Range: $$…read moreParking: Parking lot (crowded) Ordered: House Mocha, 25% sweetness, with Hojicha cream Visited on a Sunday, and despite the line being out of the door by the time I arrived, I was somehow able to snag one of the tables! The parking lot was completely full, so you have to be patient with finding a parking spot. It was pretty crowded and because of that, everyone had to self order. Throughout my time there, lots of customers came through, but I received my drink relatively quickly. As for the drink itself, the house mocha was okay, but I'm glad that I was able to try the Hojicha cream! The mocha + Hojicha cream was an interesting combination, but I think I would try their Hojicha Latte the next time I go. They have matcha, Hojicha, and seasonal offerings as well (like their banana cream!). There is a single bathroom (with code), WiFi (spotty sometimes but I was still able to get what I needed done), and a decent amount of seating (depending on time you go) with available outlets. I worked there from 12 to almost closing, and was able to get the table near the window + an outlet! I was truly sat. Overall, I would come again to try a different drink and hope to snag a table to work! If you're able to get a good spot to sit, it's a solid place to be productive. Thanks Lac Coffee!

    Pure DoorDash enthusiastic over here and from a takeout POV:…read more Ordered sugarcane with less ice (YAY TO SUGARCANE bc it's such a rare treat), a small pork belly banh mi with extra pate, and a croffle with a matcha dip on the side. First, superrrrr appreciative that they took sizing of banh mi's bc usually I can never finish them. The pork belly with extra pate was sooo good and a great brunch meal. Obviously you can't go wrong with sugarcane and the croffle was super tasty as well. I'd probably get another cream / etc to pair with it as the matcha one was flavorless. Can't wait to come here in person or DD more options from their menu. Overall: 9/10 recommend

    The drinks here are decent. I've tried the sugarcane drink, a matcha drink, and a milk tea, and…read morethey're all pretty average. Nothing really stands out, but they get the job done if you're just looking for a quick drink. The biggest downside is the location and overall atmosphere. The shop shares a space with a Chevron gas station, and it doesn't have its own restroom. When I asked, I was told to use the Chevron bathroom, which felt unusual for a tea shop. The café also isn't the most comfortable place to hang out. I stopped by during a heat wave once and decided to stay for a bit, but it was still hot inside. I don't think the A/C was running, so I ended up leaving sooner than I planned. I could see myself grabbing a drink to go if I were already stopping for gas or just happened to be driving by. But personally, I'd rather drive a few minutes down the street to Barber Lane, where there are several other tea shops with better drinks and a more comfortable atmosphere. I can also do my grocery shopping while I'm there, so it's a much more convenient stop overall.
