This a small little shop with a good amount of seating, the reason being, there is NO AC so people come in and out pretty quickly. The drinks were BEAUTIFUL and TASTY, service was friendly. Food wise, I'd pass on that. This place is known for their DRINKS. ONLY. Kiwi - Might just be me, but I'm OBSESSED with kiwi atm Taro Latte - They use REAL UBE! Beastea Deluxe - Every sip is filled with toppings, if that's your thing Anyways, I definitely recommend taking stop by and check them out while you're in the area. read more

This is a good place for Boba and Snacks. They have a wide variety of Boba flavors, fruity, tea, and smoothies. I've tried the grapefruit, and the Jasmine with foam and they're both decent. Today I got the Winter Lemon and it's a nice lemon twist to my favorite refreshing Wintermelon drink. I'm not a fan of the boba itself, but the tea flavors are good enough for me to go back. Price per drink is around $6+. They have a good list of snacks to choose from -- fries, waffles, chicken, egg rolls, and more. All of them at good portion and at decent price. They have at least 6 tables for seating so you can dine with here too. No AC, but they have fan. Service is at decent pace depending on how busy the kitchen is for the snacks. Drinks on the other hand come out fast. read more

Small store. One person taking orders and making. I think they might want to get more workers. First time here and waited a bit to order. They had a pretty large menu. Service was ok not bad. Took a star off due to the long wait and how hot it is in the place. No fans or ac.. We got the Mango Sea matcha, Dragonfruit smoothie and Popcorn Chicken Snack. Everything was good. On the sweeter side for drinks but yummy. Private lot in front read more

I always try to find a bubble tea place that serves popcorn chicken and snacks. I don't know why but I love tea places that serve snacks and tea because I know a few places that serves just the drink. Now the thing with the other places that do serve the snacks are that they give too little or it tastes like they have been sitting out for a long time. Now I think I got lucky because I got here right around opening time and I believe they just started the fryer so I was able to get some freshly made popcorn chicken and I have to say that this is the largest amount of popcorn chicken I have ever received for about 10 to 12 dollars, I don't quite remember. But they gave it to me in a big togo box order. It can literally feed about three people pretty decently. The breading is a little heavy and I did wish the spice level was upped a little more, but worth the money for the amount of you want to eat to your filling. I also got their matcha strawberry tea, which was good, but nothing gives it that wow factor with the drink. My drink tastes are limited at boba places it's usually between Thai tea, matcha, or taro, which is about it. I don't try going ordering new drinks. But definitely come here if you want snacks to share and can try some other drinks, y'all can tell me how the other flavors are. read more

I got the green Thai tea with no toppings and regular sweetness. Initially, I thought the first few sips were not great. It didn't have the same tea taste that I always get with green Thai tea from other boba spots. After a while, it grew on me and it was pretty good but not comparable to the better green Thai tea drinks I've had elsewhere. Tried some of the ube latte as well. This wasn't bad but also had to grow on me. There are ube chunks inside and also comes with boba. Would probably ask for it without boba if I ever got this in the future since I think the ube chunks were sufficient and a lot was going on with both the ube chunks and boba. Would give other drinks here a try in the future if I were in the area, but overall just a decent experience. Both of these drinks felt like they were missing something in the flavor. read more

I ordered Kiss On the Lips. The tea was a bit sweet. I can taste the guava and strawberry. I got 50% sugar. If you don't want it sweet, ask for less than 50%. If you have a sweet tooth, order more than 5% sugar! My drink came out within 10 minutes. This is a great place nestled away in an unassuming plaza. There's usually a lot of parking during non-peak hours. I came in on a Tuesday night around closing. Great place for hanging out with friends or family. Also good for dates if you want boba for a late night dessert. read more

Beastea is one of my favorite cafes in San Jose! Their store is a bit unassuming from the outside but we really enjoyed everything we tried. My favorite item was the Vietnamese coffee flight, which not only had great coffee but really unique flavors (ube, pandan, & salted cream toppings + a flan type topping). Their snacks & teas are always fresh & the staff is super nice! Will definitely be visiting again to try their boba :) read more

Soo good! I walked in on a whim because I was buying pet supplies next door and discovered the best fruit smoothies I've ever had in my life. The cups are huge and the smoothies are so silky and fresh. I hate it when smoothies come out very icy so I was very surprised at how good it was. I got the mango smoothie and my fiance got the dragonfruit/strawberry/mango/lychee. We were both blown away, 10/10 recommend. read more

Beastea is all over Instagram and I'm so here for it. I've been a customer since 2019 back when I used to order Passion My Tension fruit tea. Nowadays, I order Lychee Addict, What A Melon, and Monsoon Season (guava lychee green tea + chia seeds & grass jelly). Customer service is phenomenal! Joy the owner is so fun, energetic, and one of the nicest people ever. Her staff is pretty chill too. Good things come to those who wait, so be prepared for a slight wait when ordering, especially with all the exposure on social media. Drinks come out relatively fast. They try to get those out first and then all the snacks. Snacks! A whole take out container filled with yummy deep fried popcorn chicken with basil awaits you. I've had the pandan and ube waffles. I've even ordered half and half. The ube one is my favorite! My dad likes it too. My friends and I have ordered: *Fishball *Mozzarella sticks *Chicken wings *Calamari *Fried Tofu *Fried Shrimp & Fries *Garlic Fries *Curly Fries *Veggie Eggrolls Drinks: *Honeydew Smoothie *Lychee Smoothie (tastes like ice cream/froyo) *Grapefruit Pomelo *Pink Punch *Pandan Latte (very sweet even at 25% because of the condensed milk sweetener) *Monsoon Season *What A Melon (watermelon green tea) *Lychee Addict (lychee green tea + lychee jelly & bits) We're here so often Joy calls out hello when we first step in after the gym LOL. Amy from Batch 22 Bakery also does preorder cookie pick ups here once a week. They have a good amount of seating for 2, 4, or 6 depending on how many tables you pull apart/push together. Cool green foliage wall with angel wings for the perfect boba photo. Welcome to the jungle! read more

The strawberry smoothie I got on my recent visit was sweet and fruity, not too tart and so fresh tasting. Served in such a tall container, it was like two drinks in one, there was no way I could finish that on my own. Definitely good value here, even if a bit of a wait with the lady helping each individual customer to make the orders in the back. The place was clean and bright, with several tables and seating inside, too. read more

FLAVOR (3/5): Got the kiss on the lips subbed lychee jelly with grass jelly. Even though I asked for half sweet it was still too sweet for my liking. It tasted too artificial for my liking now a days. The grass jelly also wasn't anything special, not really herbal or sweet. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (3/5): They have a grass wall with the neon signs like every other boba shop now a days. But the rest of the place was filled with cardboard shipment boxes and fruit. They had a good amount of seating inside but wouldn't be a place I'd want to sit and hangout with people. SERVICE (4/5): Cashier was patient with us when we needed more time to decide! Drinks came out in a timely manner. TAKEAWAYS: No AC on hot days, just a fan going so it can be stuffy inside. Their tall cups are flawed in design because their straws are almost the same height so you're basically unable to insert the straw all the way without your lips and face smooshed into the cup trying to drink. Wouldn't come back for drinks. read more

Quick stop here for a smoothie. Nice and quiet. You put your order in the kiosk then wait a bit for them to make it. There's tables to sit and enjoy but we took this to go. I did not expect such a large smoothie. The cup wowed me and it was a very filling treat. I definitely recommend this juice spot for a quick fuel up. They do have some food options but I didn't get anything other than my smoothie. read more

I love their avocado smoothie! it tastes like an authentic vietnamese avocado smoothie and has just the right amount of sweetness. Their popcorn chicken is also one of my favorites here in the bay. The portion is also generous for the price, the chicken is perfectly crispy, and the pieces aren't too big, which I really like. They also offer different spice levels and a nice variety of dipping sauces. The garlic fries were okay. When I got them, they weren't as crispy as I would've liked, but the portion size and price were solid. Overall, I'd definitely come back again! read more

Came here for a much needed refresher after lunch. Conveniently located a few shops down from where we were dining, Beastea was definitely something I couldn't pass on. Immediately upon entering, you are met with 2 large screens showcasing a photo menu of snacks and drinks. Bright, clear, and foolproof-ly labeled. Purchases: Lychee-Addict Watermelon Juice Lychee-Addict was excessively sweet. I liked the generous amounts of lychee jelly but was bummed that the level of sweetness couldn't be adjusted. The watermelon juice was great- naturally sweet enough without any add ons for a fake level of sugar. The juice was undoubtedly fresh from the fruit and was thirst quenching from start to finish. 3 stars overall. I wouldn't mind trying something new but I wouldn't go outta my way to specifically come back. read more

This was a fun experience! We got the Vietnamese coffee flight! One pandan, ube, flan, and black sesame. We loved every one of them! It is hard to pick a favorite. Perfect sampling size at $16. It also included an ice cream which today's flavor was ube. On top of that, we ordered a separate flan Vietnamese coffee, a strawberry mango matcha, and a ube latte. All drinks were bomb! And we tried to order chicken gizzards but they were out so we got popcorn chicken instead. That's always a go to. The drinks and food were yummy. The service could use a little work. It seems they didn't have enough staffing and originally told us they couldn't do the coffee flight. But they came back later and said they could do it. Also it was a bit hard to understand them. But we were able to get the gist. The drinks seemed to have taken a while to get done which was weird because the group after us got a coffee flight and theirs came out pretty quick. Another employee came in a bit after us and maybe the ate how the drinks came a bit faster. The ambiance is both cute and needs organization. There is one wall that is super cute and decorated. It makes a nice backdrop for the drinks. The other wall has two giant tvs that displayed all the drinks. But in the back side wall was just a bunch of boxes that seemed to just stack upon each other. But we were there for the teas and coffee so it didn't bother us. Overall, we enjoyed this place and it was perfect to sample the drinks. If we are in town, we would definitely come back. read more

I visited Beastea on Tuesday, 4/30/24, around 5 PM. I decided to order the Soursop Punch and the Popcorn Chicken with mild spice. The drink was refreshingly decent. The Popcorn Chicken was seasoned well and tasted great, along with the sauces offered. The reason why I am knocking off two stars is because of the slow service. Unfortunately, I had to wait a total of 40 minutes to receive my order. That was extremely long, especially for only two items. Even though I enjoyed my drink and snack, I may not return due to the wait time. read more

Know that this is a very small business so the cashier might be mia because they are helping thr kitchen. I don't think they have any bells to announce when customers come in. Came here a third time. I am taking away a star because I asked for 50% sweetness in my POG drink but my drink was somehow sweeter than my bf's 100% sweetness drink... Ordered curly fries here. Pretty good but they only give you two sauces (house-made aioli and ketchup) which is not enough. I asked for another ketchup container but it still was not enough. I'm glad they give a lot of fries but the fries to sauce ratio is not good. read more

I LOVE this spot! It's a fruit/smoothie lover's paradise! I tried a bunch of smoothies, teas and snacks here and was super impressed. The strawberry smoothie, avocado smoothie and strawberry lychee mango dragonfruit smoothie may be some of the best smoothies I've ever had. The texture and taste was phenomenal; you could taste the real fruit through each sip. The fruit teas were also so refreshing and not overly sweet. And they also offer such a large variety of snacks to pair with the drinks. They had delicious savory snacks like popcorn chicken, calamari, eggrolls & garlic fries but also sweet snacks like pandan and ube mochi waffles! Really generous portions too. The owner was super sweet here! She was great with recommendations too. I love the theme inside the shop too; jungle-like which matches their "beast-tea" name. Can't wait to come back and try more drinks and snacks. read more

This was my 3rd time visiting Beastea and my 2nd time walking out. My first visit was great. What I assume to be the owner, was very friendly, greeting my family and I. She made suggestions on menu items etc. My oreo boba was a little too sweet. My fault for ordering it with 100% sweetness. The fried fish (not the fish balls) were not on the menu but the gal at the counter recommended them and they were delicious! All in all, this first encounter was a good one and we told ourselves we'd be back. Our next visit, we stood at the counter for a solid 5 minutes before an older lady came from behind the curtain. We recognized there was a language barrier, but still. She was extremely rude, rolling her eyes when we tried to explain our order. It got to the point where my boyfriend wanted to leave (and he's the nice one lol). We decided to give it one more try this afternoon. Since our first visit was great. No luck. Waited again for a few minutes before finally seeing the same second lady again. Walked out. read more

HIDDEN GEM ALERT Tucked away in a strip mall in Santa Clara is this amazing boba spot that you might miss, but absolutely should not. Not only were the drinks superb, but their food options were impeccable. @thebeastea has a huge variety of drinks that include smoothies, teas and juices, and now offering coffees! Although we didn't try them all..yet..the drinks we had were very well made. Once our excitement over the variety of drinks died down, we took a look at the food menu and got excited all over again. From Pandan waffles to snacks like garlic fries and popcorn chicken, they have lots of options to satisfy whatever snack craving you have for sure. To top it all off, the owner, Joy, was so nice and accommodating. She had made great recommendations and was open to discussing ways to improve even more. We were able to have a complete feast of almost all the snacks and each item was good as the next. A lot of times, places excel with drinks and the food is lacking or it's the other way around, but Beastea truly does a fantastic job on both food and drinks. We can't recommend Beastea enough if you're looking to get a drink or snack fix as we know this will be somewhere we'll be visiting often going forward! Such a cute spot! - -- -- - Strawberry Smoothie w/ Boba Winter-Lemon Ube Coffee Garlic Fries Curly Fries Sweet Potato Fries Calamari Egg Rolls Popcorn Chicken Pandan Waffle & Ube Waffle Shrimp Tempura read more

I will never order from here again they said a manager would call me back but never did. The grass jelly was putrid and you could tell spoiled like kombucha or kitchen spoiled. It happens when you dont keep it at temp or bacteria gets on to it and just multiplies due to temperature fluctuations. Sooooo by food service standards this is an immediate F. The inside is okay but the loose boxes everywhere and dirty tables common guys. Do better. This one star is the least of your worries. You should worry about inspection standards every establishment should. read more

Uses fresh fruit and has a great variety of snacks. Spotted this place from IG Reels, so my friend and I decided to celebrate her birthday by coming here for snacks and a dessert after the main birthday dinner. I ordered the lychee smoothie, as the cashier recommended it. She said that it's not something usually found at boba spots and they use real milk and lychee in the drink, so I figured why not! The $8 price tag was hefty, but so was the drink. This thing was the size of my forearm. We also split pandan waffles and popcorn chicken amongst ourselves. The food was really good and the interior has a good amount of seating, which is good for people that want to stay and enjoy their food and chat. read more

10/10 Fire food Fire drinks Fast service Very surprised the place wasn't as packed as I thought it would be. But can't complain! The calamari was HUGE and was seasoned to perfection. 5/5 Popcorn chicken had a huge portion and again seasoned very well. It comes with different spice levels and went with medium which wasn't really too spicy for me but I fw it. That sriracha aioli is hella good. California sunset was really refreshing, from the bits of fruit to the amount of ice and sweetness ratio everything was solid. 5/5 Paradise dreamer again everything perfectly balanced from ice to sweetness and bits of fruit 5/5 I would highly recommend! Definitely coming back to try a couple more items, hands down some of the best fruit tea I've had in a while read more

I think this place is severely underrated. It's near my work so I would come by here during lunch break or before I go home. I would say this place has the BEST fruit teas in the bay. They use REAL fruits and no syrup! Upon walking in you'll see shelves of fruits. I always get one of their fruit tea drinks and my goal is to try all of them. Beastea deluxe is one my favorite, my husband tried the California one the other time. As for the food, I heard the owner is mixing things up. Their snack options are one of the best and seriously has the best deals. For $10 you get a fat tray of popcorn chicken. I think they should sell a portion that's half the size and sell it for $6. They would make so much $$$ having different size options. The chicken is nicely seasoned but it depends on who makes it. One time it was so good, the other time the seasoning was a bit lacking. I told the owner and she took it upon herself to get it fixed. The one time though, I got a fat tray of delicious chicken and it was heavenly! On par with my favorite popcorn chicken spot, but the portions here are super generous and the price is hard to beat. We also tried their Vietnamese coffee and it was strong - so good. Tastes better than a lot of places too. Seriously a hidden gem and I hope they continue to thrive! read more

Lots of seating and has a lot of fruit teas. We got the ube matcha latte and it was very unique in flavor.

This is one of the OG boba shops I never knew about! I can't believe Beastea has been around for 7 years and I'm just discovering them now!

The snack portions are also very generous so you get your money's worth. PS.

We originally got the California sunset and Oreo chocolate milk tea boba. The California Sunset is a great fruit tea choice, but I'd recommend 50% bc 75% was a little too sweet for me (felt like this was regular). I do not recommend the Oreo drink whatsoever. It was watery, very weird flavor, barely any boba and just overall not good. Yes, we have enjoyed this drink at other places so it wasn't just "we ordered the wrong thing". The staff was nice enough to swap it for another California Sunset for us but they didn't even put the lychee jelly in it despite it being one of the ingredients (first one had it). This was just upsetting but we didn't have the energy to go back for another change. We waited 45mins for our order (2 drinks). The whole experience just felt so disappointing. If we had a better experience, we'd have been very happy. Food items looked promising and lots of drink options. Good amount of seating and parking in a complex. I know this place has been around for a while so I hope this was just a one off. read more
