I like smash avocado. There are several places they have smash avocado but this place make the best. I like to add some boba and Jellies it tastes very good. read more

See all

The drinks are good, but the plaza is pretty shady. Parking can be terrible at times. However , the smoothies taste fresh and the boba is also delicious. Only downside is is that it's cash only... read more

I always get the passion fruit drink with tapioca. The passion fruit really comes through because they even add the seeds with the passion fruit pulp. I like that little bit of crunch but I know not everyone's a fan of that sort of thing. When I come here I always want to try one of their combination drinks but I can never make up my mind because there are so many choices which is actually not a bad thing about a place.I also love that coming here is less like grabbing a drink and more like getting a snack that's also refreshing! Don't be intimidated by all the goodies they put in their drinks, just try it! read more

Ok...first of all...do they only hire people that speak in Vietnamese only? Don't get me wrong because I have no issues with newcomers but even when I was speaking in Vietnamese, they still manage to mess up my order! They told me they will make it again but I gotta pay more! WTF?!? Are you serious? Ughhh I am so NOT coming here anymore! Even though this location is near my house, I rather go to the location on Hostetter! read more

I usually don't consider Che a dessert but after coming here with my gf so many times and only getting coffee, I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the number one and to my surprise, it was really good. It's sweet but savory and light. The store was very clean and the staff was really knowledgable in helping me figure out what I might have liked. They do have a tv and seating inside and tables outside so the wait enjoyable. They usually play music videos. Its very close to my house so I'll be here often! This place changed my mind on Che thanks!!! read more

Weekly customer at Bambu locations. I ordered red beans and pandan jelly with less sweet. The order given to me was super sweet. I complaint it to the cashier and the maker, they told me that they could not do any thing to help. I then asked for more coconut milk to dilute it, but they refused as per owner instruction. Very poor customer service.... will not be back to this location!!! read more

All I can say about this place is these: You will get fat because from those yummy. lol

Thank god I don't have to drive to Berryessa anymore when I want my che fix!!! The #6 is my favorite!! It's sooo good! Lots of fruit and jelly. Worth the $3.75 in my opinion. Skip the Bambu Special. It's really watery and you don't get as much items in the che. Bring cash!! read more

My favorite spot for Che Ba Mau and Pennywort with Coconut Juice. Milk Teas and Smoothies are good as well. Been going to BamBu before they became a popular chain read more

The customer service is 5 stars! The girl is very friendly and helpful :) I really wanted to like the drinks but I don't think they're for me. I will keep trying because I love Che dessert drinks. The type of jelly used is reallly slimy and chewy just remembering that I'm getting the heebie-jeebies....The coconut milk is good as well as basil seeds, but that's where I'm done. I've tried the #1 and #6 and I might go back if my favorite Che location (ABC snacks and drinks) is closed. And my Che search continues!.... read more

I wanted to order a dessert that had longan and basil seed in it and ask the cashier if they had a drink like that and she said no they didn't. I was looking at their menu options and they had longan w/ grass jelly and i said can i get that but with basil seed. After lookin again at the menu I finally saw that they actually did have longan with basil seed which was #7. I ordered this and a #10, the cashier asked me if I wanted coconut juice or coconut milk in #7, and I asked do I have to get it? Can't I just get it without it? But she kept telling me that I HAVE to get it. And her voice was raising up as well and so was mine. I said yea sure. And the cashier is looking scared and nervous and she keeps saying sorry???I was confused with that. She was confused with first of all, their own menu and my question. The music was way too loud. It was literally hurting my ears. Why blast kpop so loud on a rainy night with the doors wide open? read more

This place is not that bad. The strawberry milk tea I ordered was alittle on the sweet side, but their other drinks and desserts are pretty good. read more

I like this place. #10 please. I just don't like coming IN here. The service is hit or miss. Don't stare at me like I am an alien, cause I'm not. SWEAR. And why is it that the last time I came here they had Pitbull on and then the NEXT song was some Vietnamese pop song? LOL. read more

Good place for dessert :) they got better :) hope the service as well. I hope if they dont have shaved ice or something atoeast let us know before we order so that we wont complain about the drink.. read more

BAMBU - Bambu at huong restaurant - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I haven't been to the actual store since my friends have always gotten it to go for me.. but all I have to say it.. BOMBASS CHE :) I will be back for more. read more

I love the Che Trai Cay! I do without the durian. Some bambu locations make this with durian and some make it without but to be sure I always say no thank you. I do ask for taro to be added to my Che. It makes it all the more delicious. This Che comes with jack fruit, lychee, coconut, pandan jelly, some clear looking jelly and a red/pink tapioca looking thing. All of that mixed with coconut milk and taro makes this a piece of heaven! read more

BAMBU - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I like it for being close to my house and close late... I would give it 4 stars but docked 1 off because i got the crappy customer service.... if you're not happy to work in front then ask to ask in the back...simple as that....try to smile once in a while....it might make you get through the day better....just a suggestion. read more

Excellent coffee and friendly staff. You definitely need to check this place out!

I go here often to get my fix of their #1. The very delicious Bambu Special. Other than that, they do have a wide variety of che (Vietnamese desserts). Usually if you want to eat che, it would require you to eat it with a spoon. This place makes it so you can consume it with a straw. WINNNNNNINGG!!!!! read more

Go to Hostetter or Story! This place has horrible customer service and when you ask for extra of an item they are really stingy and cheap. I would rather drive the extra 5-10 miles than come back here again. Don't get me wrong, at first I thought it was just one particular person but after coming back on different occasions I realize that it's the ownership. You won't have this lousy service at the other locations. read more

My family and I came here today to enjoy some smoothies especially we heard BAMBU was great. The cashier is awful, she has the worst attitude!!!!!! My husband clearly ordered his drink with pearl and when he received it, he told her he ordered it with pearl .. The cashier ROLLED her eyes and said "you should have told me". I will be going to another BAMBU from now on.. My avocado drink was warm also.. I seriously cannot stand people in customer service with a bad attitude! read more

Look like material here is too old, my 6 years old son said Mango's bitter. Ice coffee is too sweet. Paid cash only. Remember No Visa here

I only come here for the desserts. Their drinks aren't that good and you're better off getting a better drink at like tap ex or something. If you're an avocado lover, then I suggest you get a #5 on the desserts menu. It's super good and it fills you up. But other than the desserts menu, the drinks are not my cup of tea. Note: Cash Only! read more

This is a taro smoothie with perals, combo and mango jelly. What I like about this place is the originality of the drinks, the variations of jelly and drink orders are cool. At the moment it seems like this place is a CASH ONLY location. It's a tad confusing to order but it's worth it! read more

I haven't been too adventurous.. I've tried #1 before and I hated it. But I discovered #4 which I LOVE. Totally addicted. Except I get it with no red tapioca. I don't like the consistency.. Other than that, I LOVE it! Specially for these summerr days! read more

The only place I go to when I'm in need of sweet refreshing desserts. Always crowded especially during the weekend. Decent customer services! read more

I came to this new Bambu spot twice already since they've been opened. Both of times I was here, the ches were good and the workers were fantastic! On my first visit, I couldn't decide whether I wanted a che bo dam (the one with avocado) or a hat luu suong banh lot (the one with pandan jelly and grass jelly). I finally made up my mind and got a che bo dam and asked the worker if I can add pandan jelly in it. She honestly told me, "Sure! But I don't know how it'll taste. Maybe I will try that too next time." It my opinion, it was delicious! I came here with my friend another time and picked up a hat luu suong. I ate/drank up half of it before heading over to McCormicks with my boyfriend for their happy hour. Afterward, I finished up the other half of the che at home and this is how our conversation went: Me: Babyy...soo full. I'm finishing up the che. Soo good. My belly is round. Can you rub it?? Him: hahah You fatty. 5 stars for the che and the friendly service! Will definitely be back for more. read more

I ordered a white mocha coffee tasted horrible nothing like when I had the first time .. I guess it depends who makes it ...the only good thing they open really early read more

mmmm... this can satisfy my sweet tooth anyday. i only get their bo dam (smashed avocado) here and usually it comes out thick and not overly sweet. just the way i like it :] for about 5 dollars.. it doesnt hurt to try this place read more

I would highly recommend their mango smoothie and anything from their chè menu. Their pearls are always the right amount of sweetness with a chew to it. They have unique and quality toppings such as the red "pomegranate" seeds and real pandan jelly. If you're a fan of taro I recommend getting their taro chunks in your chè! read more

This small place is BUSY. When we came after eating Dim Sum for dessert on a weekend the place was packed. People waiting in line to order and then for drinks. We waited a short while to get our order but they were well appreciated upon their receipt. I am not a huge fan of dessert drinks like this, but my boyfriend and his friends LOVE them here. I opt for the simpler options and they get the more complicated ones. Works for all. read more

The drinks and Che are delicious. One problem is its cash only, so you'll need to remember to have cash on hand. The staff is nice, but sometimes call the order number and sometimes the drinks. So you will have to pay attention. The location is central to other asian places, but parking can be hard to find on warm days. The lines can be out the door. read more

newest addition to the bambu chain! try the che #10. its my favorite. read more

BAMBU - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Bambu is a great place to go to for Viet dessert, but this Bambu location is not the one I would recommend going. Bambu is a great place to go for a change of the usual boba. Its also great to get it in different sweetness. Lets start with decor, it is nicely decorated and it is a nice place to hang out. The menu is the same as all the other Bambu so it was easy to choose the drink My friend and I were in the area and wanted some dessert. We ordered the usual Bambu Favorite and also decided to try Taro Jelly Lover. Being a regular Bambu going at the San Mateo one, right away we realized there was something off about the taste. The coconut milk had a sour taste to it, and the reason why was their refrigeration is not adequate. So why? I noticed the stored the coconut milk on a table fridge in the front counter. I understand this is convenient for the employee but it is not ideal to keep food fresh. I use to work at a yogurt shop and this type of fridge can keep it cool but its not a good way to keep it fresh. I wouldn't recommend going to this Bambu. The one in San Mateo has it right, even the one in South City too. read more

Literally almost died. I got the red bean milk tea and threw up 3 hours later. The next day, I threw up again and had diarrhea. This lasted for a whole week. I will not be going to Bambu ever again. Don't go here unless you want the stomach flu. read more

Best Desert!!! They also make good black milk tea. I like all of their desserts especially #1,2, and 10. You can order less sweet

What a horrible establishment! I ordered a cup of pandan jelly and coconut milk, but fill the cup less with pandan jelly instead of filling it all the way up. It came out fully filled with pandan jelly. When I asked, she said, we can't do that. Really? Did I not pay for it? Yes but we can't do that. So why not tell me you can't do that and I'll take my business elsewhere. That's the last time I'm going to go there. read more

I used to go here often before I moved. Their smoothies and vietnamese drip ice coffee are really good. It's usually not too busy so there isn't a wait to get your drinks. It isn't that expensive either. I highly recommend their avocado smoothie with boba. Really deleicous! read more

My family and I often go to this place for their pearl tea and desserts but we had a bad experience there earlier tonight. We had 7 people in our group: 2 women, 4 kids and 1 guy (me). There was only 4 chairs at our table so my cousin (1 of the women) told me to get 3 more from outside so I went to get the chairs. When I came back, I saw an old man pointing his fingers and saying something at my cousins. Apparently, he was speaking in vietnamese and I quote: "Day la cho order to-go chu khong phai cho ngoi. Neu muon ngoi thi ra ngoai ngoi." (Translation: This is a place for ordering to-go, not eating in. Go sit outside if you want to sit.). That got me furious because he wanted us to sit outside in the cold when we have women and children in our group. So I confronted him and asked him if he was the owner. He told me he WAS NOT and the owner is his daughter. I told him it's cold outside so he can't expect the women and the kids to sit outside. He didn't care and he kept telling us to go sit outside. I then told him to go sit outside himself and if he can stand the cold, we'll move outside!!! He said that our table was blocking the line to the cashier and that's why we had to go sit outside!!! That's not true because our table was to the left of the cashier but not between the cashier and the customers!!! In terms of customer service, what he said to my cousin was very rude and uncalled for because he could have asked us to move our table nicely and we will happily do so. In terms of business, you were lucky because you were not the owner because IF YOU WERE WITH THAT ATTITUDE, WE WOULD CANCEL ALL THE ORDERS. read more

Giving Bambu my first 5 star rating. 1st, uts closed pretty late 10pm for a drink n che joint. Prefect timing for snack or desserts after dinner. Try #5, the avocado. Its sooooo good. Also added aee some jelly stuff. Not too sweet just perfectly shaked. Yummy read more
