I ordered ahead and the drinks were ready upon arrival :) The tea taste was not too strong, I ordered a jasmine milk tea and lemon tea. The tea taste was weak in my milk tea but strong and not sweet for my lemon tea. Can't say I will be back here since it's not close to me. read more

I first tried 3catea in K-Town LA & I really liked their unique barley burst topping. I was really excited to find out there was a 3catea back home as well. I have tried both their mochi barley burst milk tea & the avomango sweet dew and both drinks did not disappoint!! read more

3Catea - Mochi Mango, Mochi Barley Burst (Set Toppings) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

I love their drinks and I come here quite a lot with my friends! The Matcha Mochi is so yummy. Haven't tried another drink like it. Their mochi is top tier compared to other places and you can actually taste the grains they use to make it! I usually don't get the cream top/whipped cream on it, but in the picture, you can see it with the cream top. 100% would recommend and I want to try their other mochi drinks. The Jade Matcha was also really good. Jasmine milk tea base with a matcha cream top. I was pleasantly surprised since I love to try jasmine teas from different places, and theirs was quite good! The matcha cream top is solid, but the jasmine tea was the highlight for me (I do prefer jasmine teas over matcha). Their service is quite slow, so make sure to order in advance! But that doesn't really subtract from the experience for me since the drinks are so good!! read more

I've been to 3catea multiple times, with my first visit being in SoCal, and I was happy to find a location here too! This time, I tried their seasonal Coco Matcha drink, and it was such a unique combo--the creamy coconut paired perfectly with the earthy matcha for a refreshing treat. The shop has a cozy, modern vibe, and the service is always quick and friendly. It's become one of my go-to spots for creative drinks. I'm excited to keep coming back and trying more seasonal offerings! read more

My friend's avocado mango drink was the best! It wasn't aa thick as I thought it would be. It was a really good fruity drink. I really enjoyed my Oreo drink too. It had fantastic mochi at the bottom. There isn't really any seating on the inside, so it's a place just to place an order to go. read more

3Catea - Oreo milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

A cute cat theme boba shop that is not afraid to experiment with textures and ingredients! I've been here twice so far so let's break it down together. Parking experience: There's a lot of parking but it can get a little crowded. It's fairly well spaced so I never felt stressed. Wait: There was a 25 min wait both time but you can order ahead online through snackpass. Drinks: Mochi Mango 4/5 Enjoyed the mango and mochi. very good even at 0% sugar Rice frost 4/5 Unique and would highly recommend! Mango Sweet Dew 3/5 This sweetness level was probably too high for my taste since it was my sisters drink. She got it around 75 i think. We both ended up not finishing it :( read more

Hmmm. I think I need to come here again to see if things change. We ordered online and picked up, it was a speedy process. I loved this spot in San Diego, but the one here tastes a bit different. It didn't taste as creamy - felt more icy. I'll have to give the mango drink another try. Our friends liked the avocado one. read more

3Catea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

I was in the area and wanted a quick snack. I popped into the nearest plaza and saw 3 CAT. Honestly I couldn't tell it was a boba spot from the outside, and the place looked closed. I spotted a couple walk in, so I took their lead and headed inside. Cool looking cafe with minimal design elements but lots of miniature cats. Ordering directly from the kiosk was encouraged. I don't recall seeing anyone at the register as the employees were busy making the drinks. So much for expecting a "quick snack." My drink took forever to be made. It was also confusing because there was a 25 minutes next to my name, but the timer didn't budget accurately. It turned to 24 minutes by the time I had received my order, which took nearly 15 minutes to be made. I loved my drink. I ordered the Mango mochi, which consisted of mango puree, liquefied mochi, cream, and wafer bits. I wish it had more mango, but I generally thought it was a refreshing and delightful drink. I would definitely order this again, but next time around I would stick to online ordering so I can bypass the long wait. read more

Ordered online and it took roughly 30~ for the drinks to be prepared. I ordered the matcha mochi and it was decent. It tastes similar to the Sunright matcha frostie but just with whipped cream and mochi added, so a desert drink. We also got the mango mochi and that one was also decent as well. The mango definitely tastes fresh and wasn't overly ripe. Overall, both drinks weren't too sweet and overpowering, but you would just need to give it a good stir before enjoying. If I were to come back again, I would continue to order online and I would probably try something new on the menu. read more

3Catea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Very slow boba place I waited 22 mins and still have more time to wait Place smells weird Hopefully drink is good because it is very slow Do not recommend unless you have a lot of time Very unmotivated employees Final wait time drum roll please... 29 minutes read more

My absolute favorite drink chain!! They have the best homemade mochi topping that is a must try!! Perfectly sweetened, fluffy, and gives you the chewy texture contrast that makes any drink addicting. The poppy barley boba is also another unique ingredient. The barley is slightly sweet adds another textured complexity. If you're in the area, definitely give this a try. I frequent my local location pretty much weekly so of course I had to try their only north cal location!! read more

With a belly full of bbq, I couldn't help but think... What better to end the night? Then with a milk tea drink! Came here off a coworkers rec, With optimism and high hopes. Leaving I said 'what the heck' Disappointed and needing to cope. Though the interior is adorable, Lined with cat frames and figurines. I couldn't help but notice, All the chairs blocking the latrine. Probably cleaning up I said, It was the end of the night. But what came next, Gave me a big fright. Excitedly I picked up my drink, And stuck in the straw. After the first sip, My thoughts came to a draw. The boba was inconsistent, Textures ranging from soft and hard. The osmanthus oolong tea though? I give my best regard. The floral black milk tea drink, Was such a pity and shame. Even with tea jelly and regular sugar, It was a tasteless game. I gave this place a try, And once was enough. With the other milk tea spots around, The competition must be rough. read more

3Catea opens where Cha Cha once was. Interior upgraded to cat related themes reflecting their branding. Ordering by kiosk only. Slightly difficult. Was able to order eventually. Drink came out in 20 minutes. 3rd in queue. 2 baristas. One making orders. One making pre-orders that will be utilized later. Drinks: fresh tea w/mousse, fruit tea, cappuccino, fresh milk, fresh milk tea, pure tea. Sips: Soy Bean Roasted Milk Tea (6.25) +.19 operating fee. No ice, no additional sugar. Got default sugar level.- -bells keep ringing inside shop, no idea what it meant. -text message sent when order is ready. -default sugar is plenty sweet. Didn't notice option to reduce sugar. -roasted flava very faint. Not overwhelmed by sugar nor milk. Nice flava would have diluted by any ice. *several drinks have multiple toppings options. Doubtful repeat. Waits are too long. **4 stars for innovative touches re-inventing boba experience. Hits not easily discerned. Trial & error, word of mouth plausible keys to discovery...YMMV. read more

I'm so snobby about my boba and love this place to pieces. Teas and drinks are elite tier. Well-made fresh brewed drinks, but take a bit to make. Pre-order online to skip the line. read more

The interior design in this store was so cute and I loved looking at all the little figurines and art on the walls. Service was relatively quick and I got my drink within about 5-7 minutes. The mochi matcha tasted like a regular matcha drink and the chewiness of the mochi in the middle layer was not for me, but I can see other people enjoying it. I was a bit confused because I got agar boba and expected it to be black tapioca pearls but they ended up actually being clear pearls in the middle layer of the drink. My friend got the osmanthus tea, which I wouldn't recommend if you have a sweet tooth. read more

Amazing, tasty drinks here! Love the cute deco full of lovely kitties and the cleanliness also!!! We finished our drinks and ordered take outs for our family. There's some wait but it's all worthwhile. read more

I got the Mango drink. This is a very heavy drink because it has like mochi and I feel the cups are smaller than other places

I fell in love with 3CAT in SoCal. I'm so excited to find a chain here in the Bay Area. It's so delicious that you cannot miss out!!!! I recommend to order in advance using snack pass because the price is decent. My go to drinks are matcha and mango mochi. The store is big, but it has limited seating. There are plenty of parking in the area. read more

3Catea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

i waited 22 minutes for 2 drinks which i didn't have a problem with, it typically takes 10-15 mins for drinks at other 3cat locations. when i received my text telling me my order was ready, i stood at the counter for 5 minutes and no one acknowledged me at all. i cut the guy some slack because i can see he's busy with a bunch of drinks.. another guy came to pick up a drink and had to wait a few minutes but eventually spoke up when the worker started calling new drink orders. i noticed he wasn't going to say anything to me so i had to say my order number for him to even look at me. my drinks were pretty melted by the time i got them. as much as i like 3cat, the wait wasn't worth it. there are a lot of other spots that have similar drinks with nicer and faster service read more

Waited forty minutes for our drinks to be made at 7pm on a Friday. In the end, turns out they don't update their screen or call out the numbers. I had to ask them personally and they got my drinks out the back, who knows how long it was ready for. Such a frustrating experience. read more

Just rating for the drink, the Avomango Sweet Dew is interesting and tasted good for me even with 0% sugar. It's a DoorDash order, so I couldn't review the shop or their service or the ambiance. On their menu, the drinks look creative and interesting. Mochi Barley Burst also captured my interest, maybe next time. It's definitely pricey for the DoorDash order of the drink at $8+, thank God it's not out of my own pocket. read more

3Catea - Avomango sweet dew - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

What I got: Milk tea with barley popping boba with mochi : 3/5 I really like the mochi here but I felt like they're putting less the texture feels like mochi with some rice grains which I really liked! Service was alright, I came in and no one was in there and no order ahead of mines so I surprised when I thought, when is my drink going to come out? The place is nice but when it's empty the ambiance becomes a little scary, like when I came in I was unsure if they were open or not and another person came in and said the same exact thing lol read more

I ordered their mango mochi and it was super delicious!!! The mochi made the drink very thick to drink with a straw so I just opened the lid and stirred it a bit and was able to drink it like that. This drink was more of the dessert to me so it wouldn't quench your thirst if that is what you're looking for. The inside was super cute with Cat theme with mini cats decorations! I do prefer my cup to be clear so I can see my drink inside but this drink was so good I don't care anymore! Haha read more

BIG TIP: order ahead on snackpass! On a weekend, drinks WILL take 30mins to an hour to prepare. Seating is very limited so it's better to just run in to pick up your drink. yummy drinks! They have some new interesting add-ons that you don't; typically see at other boba shops. On their top drinks menu, mochi barley burst was a nice change from typical boba. If you have had Yomi Rice Yogurt and like the toppings I can say it's similar to that texture. I got Drink was not too sweet and had a rich tea flavor which is something I always love. The mochi mango was absolutely delish! The mochi is soft and smooth. We opted for the soybean whipped cream, it had a soybean powder topping and was so yummy, would definitely order this again for a sweet treat. Cant wait to try the other teas! read more

Awesome!!!! Every time I stop here never make me disappointed. The place is super cute and full of cute cats! The drinks are also really good, both the milk tea and fruit tea are good. read more

heard this is the new spot people are hyping up on xiaohongshu. liked the mango mochi over the mochi barley burst. pretty good but mango mochi is similar to offerings of other shops in the bay area. also the store itself is hotter than outside it is hell in there and management needs to do something about the air conditioning this is inhumane. i ordered online so can't speak to service read more

This place has been my current obsession! My favorites are the mochi Oreo and the avomango. The drinks are pricey, $7-$8. Service is slow as well, but the drinks are so good that I keep coming back. They also have an online ordering system if you prefer not to wait in store. read more

3Catea - Mochi Oreo - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Interesting mochi drink! I personally like it, the mango here is pured making the distribution of mango much better compared to the drinks that have it chopped into cubes. I believe the mochi is soy based but I might be wrong. It's really good, just add boba! read more

Mochi Barley Burst!! There are many boba shops in this area but 3CT is definitely the most unique. After our trip to Taiwan and Malaysia we were really craving real tea flavor and 3CT did not disappoint. They have drinks you won't find anywhere else--not too sweet. Ordering is done through the screens so not much to say about the service apart from the drinks being made quickly and the cafe being clean and cute. 3CT has seen considerable success recently so be prepared to wait in line to order. I love coming here to people watch because when it gets busy its almost like a Warm Springs fashion week. Great for dates or girly catchups as there is room to sit and chat. read more

Nah, I would go once to see the cat stuff though. I rather go to the other places near by. Especially at the prices they had it at. It wasn't very creamy and tasted a bit water down. Me and my friends overall did not really enough the experience here. The orders took incredibly long to come out as well. There is two self service kiosks Place is super clean white minimal aesthetic tho. With super cute cats. read more

3Catea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

The drinks are great, but it takes a ridiculous amount of time to receive them. It doesn't matter if the shop is relatively empty or not, it takes 20+ minutes to make a drink. I came one weekend where there were only a couple people(~3-4 people) waiting in front of me, but it seemed like ALL of us had to wait more than 15-20 minutes for our drink. Another time, I came when it seemed a bit busy and it took more than 40 minutes to get my drink! The screenshot I attached is from the 30 minute mark, and as you can see, order wasn't ready yet. It seems like there's only 2 people making drinks at a time, this seems like a successful place. Please just hire more because the drinks are great. read more

3Catea - Over 35 minutes and drink still wasn't ready. This order only had 2 drinks. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

3Catea is located in a semi-busy strip plaza. There is shared parking, but it is hit or miss, especially on weeknights and weekends. The line and wait is not as bad as before - they have kiosks to order from or you can order ahead online. Not much service and it is a bit hard to get the attention of the employees to ask them questions, as they are hidden behind the tall counter. After an afternoon of shopping, my friend and I stopped by here on the way back to her house. I was excited that they have a regular Jasmine Milk Tea. I ordered one (with Straus Organic Milk, regular sugar, less ice, and with brown sugar boba & handcrafted rice mochi), while my friend wanted their Mango Sweet Dew (no additional sugar or toppings). We both enjoyed our drinks for the most part. read more

Fast service on a weekday. We all tried their Jasmine milk tea. It was pretty fragrant and had a more floral taste. I got regular sugar but combined with the floral taste, it was pretty sweet. The boba wasn't my favorite as it was a little bit hard. Might have been getting old. read more

3Catea - Jasmine Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

I had their Jasmine Green Milk Tea and I loved it. I don't normally opt for basic teas/milk teas but this drink was so fragrant I will probably come back for it. As for the store, I didn't expect the interior of the store itself to be so cute. There were figurines lined up on the counter, posters of cats doing silly things, and the overall aesthetic was so adorable. There's a kiosk which I also appreciate. With sufficient seating and a spacious store, I'd recommend if you just want to stop by and chill with a friend read more

3Catea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

3 Cat Tea is pretty good, I usually go for the mochi mango, which I enjoy. The shop itself can get pretty hot inside, and the wait for drinks is hit or miss. If there are 4-5 tickets ahead of you, expect to wait 30 minutes or more. It usually looks like there's only one person working, with the most I've seen being two or three at a time, which explains the slower pace. Drinks are solid, but definitely be prepared for a wait. read more

It was my first time here and I absolutely love it! I got the mochi mango drink and it was so unique since it contained mochi in the middle. I usually get less sweet for all of my drinks everywhere but I would recommend to get regular sweet for this one. They use fresh mangoes instead of frozen so the drink can be a little sour. My friend got the Avomango Sweet Dew drink and it was pretty good too! Usually for avocado mango drinks at other places, you can barely taste the mango, but you can definitely taste the mango here. I can't wait to come back to try the mochi matcha drink! read more

Holy moly, this may or may be not my FAVORITE boba shop in the Bay Area. We got the Mochi Barley Burst and Jade Matcha with minimum sugar. Both drinks were FIRE. Not watery, strong tea flavor, and drinks were not too sweet. I might have to become a regular here. Store was super clean as well. I saw that most of the negative reviews were about the service. But, I didn't have a problem with it. They do ask for proof of purchase before giving your drink. read more
