    Black sugar milk boba
    Kathy L.

    Went with a group of friends, haven't have Bambu for a long time. Glad they are still around staff is friendly, inside is clean but got scared when I see the price. Friends got more drinks but we only got a black sugar milk, it has 3 sizes, we ordered medium and it was a size of regular cup, I wonder how small is small but even it's only boba and milk it's $8 for the drink with picture next to iPhone other drinks are easily $10 and up.

    Comforting and colorful fruit Vietnamese drinks and desserts I liked the mango Che, it has lots of toppings in all colors Plenty of inside seating. Most people are takeout orders and leave quickly

    Avocado Smoothie and Avo-Coffee Smoothie ($8 each, 1/2025)
    Jess W.

    The wait can be long. I usually just order on door dash for pick up. Avocado smoothie is my go to and it always turn out well. My issue is their straw. It just sucks and ruins the drink experience. You can suck so hard on the straw to try to get the thick smoothie out, the pressure flattens the straw and it cracks, leaving you with a straw that leaks air on the sides and you can't drink your drink with that straw anymore. Accepts cash, cc, tap and go Parking - can be tricky Bathroom - clean

    Pandan mochi waffle and El Camino
    Lorraine G.

    Ordered online for pick up: El Camino with 25% sweetness (grass jelly, taro crystal boba, green bean, red bean, and a rich blend of condensed, whole, and coconut milk) and a pandan mochi waffle. The drink was good, but there was too much ice. The pandan mochi waffle was served piping hot. It was freshly made, perfectly soft and chewy. Wait time was about 20 minutes, but everything tasted fresh and made to order.

    Vietnamese coffee

    After my group had dinner down the street, we needed dessert. Bambu was the easy choice. I loved Bambu treats when I lived in Georgia, so I was very excited to see one in Millbrae while visiting. Parking was challenging during our Friday evening visit. The strip was very busy. We circled the strip a couple times before finding a spot. We were greeted by the friendly staff as soon as we entered. My family and I got the following: Vietnamese coffee #6 Fruit addict Pandan mochi waffle Ube cookie The chè was just as delightful as I remembered! It had been a while since my last one, and I didn't realize how much I missed it. The Fruit Addict comes with longan, red tapioca, jackfruit, palm seed, jello, pandan jelly, coconut, and coconut milk. Not too sweet. The Vietnamese coffee was strong, rich, and creamy. The pandan mochi waffle had great consistency and pandan flavor. The ube cookie also had a wonderful texture and ube flavor. Others in our group ordered different items and were also pleased. I will probably make another stop to Bambu when I'm back in Millbrae!

    Parking: meter street parking Atmosphere: casual. Good amount of seating and tables to hangout Drink: love the Vietnamese drinks! They also have milk teas and smoothies if you prefer something else. They've also added snacks (waffles, macarons, etc) Service: friendly and quick. We got out drinks in less than 5 mins

    Whole Pandan Mochi Waffle
    Peggy S.

    The pandan mochi waffle is pretty tasty. It has a nice pandan flavor that isn't too overpowering. It also has a good crisp on the outside and soft mochi texture inside which is pretty addictive. I don't go here for the service. It feels pretty transactional during my visits and it doesn't feel like the staff are that friendly. I asked if I could get free whipped cream on the side for the waffle and the cashier said they would have to charge me even though the digital & printed menus both advertised it as free. I pointed it out on the menu but they were firm on the additional charge. The store is pretty big and has a decent amount of seating. It hasn't been crowded during the times I visit (usually afternoons).

    Wished our Bambu in Sacramento also served pandan waffles. Glad we stopped by here. This place is super cute and the drinks are also pretty! Service was great and food was delicious.

    Bambu Favorite
    Michelle Z.

    I've never had Vietnamese dessert like this before but it was so delicious! Bambu serves up really interesting coconut milk vietnamese desserts -- you'll like them if you like desserts/drinks with a lot of different textures. The menu has a ton of options to choose from so it's hard to decide, but I got the bambu favorite which has grass jelly, red tapioca, pandan jelly, and coconut milk. You can either eat it with a spoon or drink from a straw bc all the toppings are slurpable which I think is so fun. I was expecting the tapioca to be similar to chewy boba balls, but these were actually a lot different (in a good way). They're a lot smaller and more firm and almost crunchy. The grass jelly had a really good texture and didn't fall apart when you sip it through the straw either. The pandan jelly flavor was amazing too. Every slurp had me guessing what flavor combination I was getting. The inside of this place is super clean and nicely decorated. We were able to find seating easily. There wasn't too much of a line when we went either. The workers are really nice too and the drinks come out fast. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a new dessert to try! This was such a unique dessert and the different components in it make it really fun getting different flavors in every bite.

    #3 Awesome Trio
    Jenny N.

    Ordered the classic #3 Awesome Trio and it always hits the spot! The staff were very friendly and the place was kept clean. I also ordered the matcha and coconut mochi waffles. As a matcha lover, I was excited to try their version but it was a bit bitter for my taste. The coconut one was super tasty and I would get again!

    TP Tea, 400 Broadway,…read moreMilbrae, CA94030. Taiwanese boba chain in Milbrae (California). Nice little boba spot with clean and bright atmosphere. The tea was good, service was quick and efficient.

    TP Tea is a must go-to stop whenever I'm in Millbrae for a treat…read more Drink - 4/5 - I really love teas and I think the tea quality here is quite good. I like to stop here for a sweet treat after a meal in the area. The boba quality has a good chew and the milk teas/teas are really refreshing. I usually go for the lemon oolong or a milk tea. Price - $$$ - To be completely honest, it is overpriced here. It's roughly $7-9 a cup depending what you get. I definitely think this is more of a "treat yourself" moment as the other shops in the area don't compare as highly, in my opinion at least. I really enjoy tea so I think it's no different than treating myself to an einspanner from a novelty coffee shop every once in a while. Service - 3/5 - The bobaristas are quite quick and efficient. I usually order via the kiosk and they get the drinks out quite quickly. They seem to have a streamlined process. Ambiance - 4/5 - The boba shop is a bit small, but there are some seating. I appreciate the ability to order in person or via Kiosk. The decor is bright and pretty minimalistic. There's a upbeat atmosphere here. People also order in via app and pick up. Location - 3/5 - located in a bit of a busy area, there's plenty of parking lots and street parking. You can easily park in a lot and walk here. ____________________ **Note: Location rating does not affect yelp review, this is just for informative purposes of other patrons only.
