    Ordered through ezcater. Super easy and was on-time. Ordered 50 in the glass jars for a team celebration. Everyone loved them. Did 3 flavors at 75% sweet. Thai tea Milk tea Mango strawberry

    Got the dragon fruit lychee with boba ($6.25), and opted to pay for 2 jars ($8 each) ~ worth it

    Rounding up to 5 stars for their useful jars & drinks are not bad. The tea quality wouldn't be to the level of places like Chicha, however some of their teas are not bad & I appreciate they consistently put a good amount of matcha into their matcha drinks (not watery/milky). I usually get 0% additional sugar & can taste the tea (have tried jasmine green, roasted oolong, matcha, etc.). I did recently try their seasonal yuzu matcha, and just saying I wouldn't get this one again since the yuzu part is like it's from those jarred honeyed citron slices. Their strawberry matcha is pretty good, and I like that their banana pudding matcha is good & not overly sweet. (tho I agree, sometimes they may overdo it on the ice). Their jars have changed shape from earlier years & in recent years they fit in car cup holders which is better. I have been reusing my jars for my own diy drinks, and also at other boba places to try to be more environmentally friendly (at the cost of not being able to order ahead but worth it if the place accepts this). Drinks here average around $8-9 comparable to other boba places, and drink will be served in one of their daily jars - add $5 if you want to select your own jar from their large variety on display. Check IG to get an idea of what new seasonal jars or drinks they may have.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute cafe with adorable cups![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've tried their matcha, Vietnamese coffee, hot coco and thai tea and every one was super delicious! The best part of the drink ( if it's iced) is the cute glass cup you get for no extra charge! You can't choose the design of your cup so it's by chance, but no matter what you get a cute cup to reuse!

    Incredibly mid drinks. The inside of the shop is cute and there's some searing. The service was fine. The cups were cute and can be re-used...

    It's a bit hard to find parking since it's a small parking lot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's quite spacious inside with a lot of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a mango passion green tea with 50% sweetness and it was perfect :) My cousin got a lychee green tea 50% as well and she said it could be a bit sweeter. I wish they would offer a 75% option as well. I came here since I saw that they have a mochi version of the dubai cookie! I was a bit nervous trying it out since it's originally made with marshmallow. We ordered the regular mochi dubai and the strawberry mochi dubai. It was honestly pretty good. I'm obsessed with anything chocolate dubai related and I love mochi so it was best of both worlds for me :) I wouldn't recommend the strawberry one. It is just the strawberry on the outside :/ I thought it would be inside. I'm still thinking about how well the mochi complimented the dubai filling oh my god! It is so out of the way but I would definitely come back for it.

    THIS IS THR MOST AMAZING THING IVE EVER EATEN This elevated chocolate covered strawberries by so much! Their drinks are good and you get a free cute corgi cup with every drink but wow these strawberries were amazing!!! I will be visiting boba pups every time I'm back in San Jose!

    I've been to Boba Pup at least three times in the last two months. I love how they automatically put your drink in a reusable glass jar with random designs of the week at no extra charge. I heard each anime or corgi design is drawn by the owner? So cool! You can also purchase specific glass jars with the design of your choice for about $10-12? I usually get the cloudy hojicha latte, no added sugar. They top it with sea cream foam. Perfect sweetness for me and their hojicha doesn't taste like roasted seaweed-- some shops prep it incorrectly. Friends have tried Viet coffee, peach green tea, and earl grey matcha latte. We got the earl grey for free one time when they had the promo for a $20+ purchase. Check out their Instagram stories for deals! They even have Dubai chocolate treats! I always get the strawberry sticks and they have croffles too. Order via kiosk and wait for your number to be called. Employees are nice and helpful when it comes to questions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a few outdoor tables and bar seating inside when waiting for drinks to be made.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is rough during peak meal times, especially in the evening. I want to go back to try the new banana bread pudding hojicha.

    Not my first time coming here, but my first time reviewing. One thing I like about Boba Pup compared to other boba shops is their uniqueness with their glass cups. Came here to try their winter items and it did not disappoint. I really enjoyed the Banana Cream Matcha Latte and the Ube Croffle more than I expected. The marshmallow hot coco and the strawberry shortcake were alright. They have two self checkouts so service was quick. They also had Christmas decorations up so the place was pretty lit up and cozy.

    I got the seasonal oreo marshmallow hot chocolate--so good, but beware of the messiness!!! The hot chocolate itself was perfect, sweet, and came out hot! When I picked up the hot chocolate at the counter, the marshmallow was already falling off the sides and my oreo fell off on the counter too. Staff were nice and brought me a new oreo tho! Next time, I'd try a cold drink for the glass cups! They have a few they rotate daily and they're all adorable. Notes: - There are two kiosks you can order from and you can order from the counter if you have a previous glass cup from them! - [[HIGHLIGHT]]No restroom available for customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - parking can be difficult to find, as this parking lot gets busy! - [[HIGHLIGHT]]seating available inside and cute decor[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Such a cute spot! I ordered the matcha and the cheese coffee, and both were delicious. The drinks were flavorful, fresh, and definitely worth trying. The adorable collectible cups made the experience even better they're so fun and unique! The staff was friendly, and the whole place has a great vibe. I'll definitely be back to try more drinks!

    Halina L.

    Love the drinks and the special cups they give with each drink! Drinks are delicious. Service is okay, but several times now we arrived 15-30 minutes before store closing time and the store is already closed or the employee rushes to close the ordering kiosks when they see us walking towards the shop. It's quite frustrating when we arrive well within closing time only to have to go to a different boba spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is very clean and trendy with a cute shelf rack of boba pup and pop culture themed merch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place with cute cups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I like how you can get a glass cup with each order, and it's still the same price as if you go to any other boba shop these days. The drinks themselves were nothing special. I ordered the Jasmine milk tea, and it mostly tasted like milk. Boba was a nice texture and sweet. Parking is horrible in this plaza though, especially on weekends.

    Amy Z.

    Ordered the Mango Green tea, the sweetness was perfect and the boba was soft and chewy. Also love the one piece glass cup, so cute and sturdy. Definitely will come back to try other flavors and other cute cups. Service was a bit slow, but it's understandable because there was only one person working.

    Are there different cup designs every day?

    Our bottle designs change based on how quickly we sell out. We usually chance the design every 2–3 weeks.

    Do you guys take cash or just card?

    Our employees can help with cash order.

    Just curious, do o you pay for the drink at approximately $7.5 and then pay for the bottle $8 =~$15 out the door? Thanks.

    Cold drinks come with drink (random designs) are around $6.50-$8 depends on the drinks. If you want to choose the bottle then it’s $8 for mason jar and another $4.50-5.50 add on top.

    Are they fully open Nov 2021? Can we bring our dogs? Are they dog friendly?

    As of July 2022 they don't seem to be open for indoor seating.

    Will they accept empty jars for refill on next visit?

    I don't know if they've started it yet, but in April, they said they were going to give $2 off your next drink when you brought back an empty jar. At the time, they were waiting for COVID restrictions to ease.

If you're…read morelooking for high-quality matcha and delicious einspanners, this place is absolutely worth the drive. // Banana pudding matcha einspanner My go-to. The banana pudding tastes fresh and natural without being overpowering or overly sweet. The cookie crumble adds the perfect bit of texture and ties everything together. It's one of those drinks I keep craving. // Sunny Side Up Matcha Einspanner I genuinely thought they had cracked a real egg on top at first (oopsies). It's actually mango syrup, which is super creative. The mango is definitely on the sweeter side, so I like letting the ice melt just a little before drinking- it balances everything out really nicely. // Hojicha If you're a hojicha fan, you can't go wrong with any of their hojicha drinks. They have a deep, roasted flavor that's incredibly satisfying. My personal favorite is the Osmanthus Hojicha Einspanner because the floral osmanthus pairs beautifully with the nutty hojicha. Beyond the drinks, I also appreciate that the quality is consistently excellent. It's one of the few places where you can really taste the quality of the matcha. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

The line was long due to the weekend, but went by fairly quickly given you order on a touch screen. I had some questions and was able to grab someone making drinks to quickly answer them. There was a a strawberry matcha with strawberry foam on the counter for pick up that looked insane but there was no way to sub out the dairy in the foam (crying in allergies) so I got the oat milk strawberry matcha. It was a little watery and the strawberries were a tad syrupy but overall had great flavor. Easy to order and tables always open up to wait for your drink. Probably not a great place to plan to hang out with your drink through given it's a tad small inside and crowded! Excited to come back and try more drinks!
