I liked the DIY desserts. I chose papaya, grass jelly, sago, egg pudding and mango jelly. I poured over the warm coconut milk on top for a warm, not too sweet dessert The shop was simple, no frills and it was fun picking out my toppings. read more

Loved my dessert here. Order at the kiosk and there is something for everyone, including non-dairy options! Ordered for dine in but still got our dessert in disposable packaging :( they were out of one of the toppings but offered a substitute. Grass jelly bowl was very tasty. Perfect level of sweetness (low), and I especially loved the fresh taro. It's a paste, not chunks, and has nice flavor. Grass jelly had a stretchy quality I haven't encountered before, the only topping I wish was better was the sago - a bit hard, didn't seem too fresh. Would definitely come back for more desserts! read more

Interesting little dessert spot in Millbrae near all the large Chinese restaurants. Service was definitely a bit slow - took 15ish minutes to get our order, but they also seem a bit under staffed so it's kinda understandable Drinks and desserts were ok. Pretty happy that they have durian desserts but that was about it read more

Found a new favorite for boba and snacks in Millbrae area. There are so many choices, boba drinks, fruit juice and even a DIY dessert. The combo deal is perfect for a quick bite ($12), we had popcorn chicken and boba milk tea, it;s a good deal. Their papaya milk was great my favorite too. I like the wall display of ingredients, it's really neat to see the real goji berries, sugar canes and sesame seeds they use. Will back for their DIY dessert soon. read more

We ONLY got the black sesame paste. It was yummy, but not as smooth and creamy as we like it. Sweetness was just right though. But it was also more expensive than most places. The music inside was also SO loud....service was kinda slow cause it was just one girl too. read more

HA Tea Handmade - Black Sesame Paste - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Millbrae, California

I tried their popcorn chicken for the very first time and it was somewhat decent. I really liked how they fry their popcorn chicken (in terms of their crunch). It looks like maybe tapioca starch was used. The way they make it adds another dimension of crunch. The flavor was a little lacking. I think the pepper in the batter was overpowering the other flavors. I think the popcorn chicken would go really well with some five-spice salt, similar to what Chinese restaurants serve with roast duck. I don't know if it was just my batch, but the popcorn chicken pieces are HUGE. I really wish they cut them into bite size pieces instead of chicken tender size pieces. Even their smaller pieces were either a big ball shape or strips. The pieces should be more uniform. I was initially a little bit concerned seeing black dots on the popcorn chicken, but when I took a bite, I realized it's pepper. It was a little alarming at first since I haven't had popcorn chicken prepared that way before. However, what was more alarming was how the popcorn chicken was cooked. The done-ness of the chicken was uneven. I had some pieces that were white and some of them quite pink. I don't think that's normal. Some parts of the batter were way more brown than some other pieces of popcorn chicken. I wish it came with basil. I feel like without it, it's missing something. The chicken wasn't very juicy, but I am glad it wasn't super dry either. read more

A bit of a wait but the menu has great selection and they sell some other snacks and desserts in the store as well. Combo was a good deal, chicken is fried per order I think and tea was good. Papaya milk was great, loved it. The menu on the ordering system is way too cluttered with too many sections though, they should really condense it more. read more

Had wanted to try this place after seeing a foodie blogger on Instagram recommend it as a good alternative to Meet Fresh price wise. Popped in as a group of 3 a little before 2:45pm on a gloomy weekday, and there were only a handful of other customers inside. They have some premade food/drinks in the refrigerated section on the side that you can choose from. Ordered at the kiosk and didn't have to wait too long before our food was ready! - Peach Gum with Red Dates Fresh Milk (hot) - my friend ordered this, and I enjoyed it! Warm and comforting - Ha Tea Handmade Signature - a variety of toppings in your choice of milk or milk tea. I opted for black milk tea as the "soup." A worker informed me that they were out of one of the toppings in the order, so I opted to sub in sago. This is essentially milk tea in bowl form with a TON of toppings haha. I ran out of the milk tea partway through, and one of the workers kindly gave me a refill. Staff were super kind, and the place was overall pretty quiet so this was a great place to chat and catch up. I was expecting to like this as much as Meet Fresh, but it didn't quite hit that for me. Would be open to coming back to try something else on their menu but not exactly itching to return asap read more

Always Fast service here. And they answered all my questions. Great to know their milk tea is non- dairy, which is a major plus for lactose intolerance like me. Parking is right in front. It's mostly pack, but we always still manage to get a spot. We live in the east bay, and don't mind paying the toll just to get fresh dessert from here. Our favorite go to spot for fresh, yummy dessert. read more

HA Tea Handmade - Taiwanese cake milk tea (b3.) with boba and light ice - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Millbrae, California

Solid flavors with a natural clean feel. Minimal additives highlights the crisp tea and subtle fruit tastes. Coexisting among a plethora of milk tea shops in the peninsula, HA Tea stands out with its emphasis on the core substance, tea. Where sweetness is required, it seems more natural sugars are used in the form of fruit. For those looking for a more guilt free choice, consider making a pit stop here. We came in for a quick to go order of a few drinks and they were all very tasty and refreshing. I especially enjoyed the mango milk which had a nice hint of mango. The bits of mango certainly made it pleasant to drink with the added texture and knowing the flavor and sweetness came directly from the fruit, not some sugary syrup. The other drinks we got were also yummy and the crushed fruit, again exemplifies their quality through fresh, hand-crafted drinks infused with the purest form of flavors. Overall, HA Tea Handmade checks all the boxes for me for something refreshing, natural, and delicious. You're not coming here for the flair but instead for the back to basics tea that started all the hype for this industry. If simple ingredients are all you'll want in your tea or fruit drink, that is all you'll get and taste here! read more

Ordered 15 minutes ahead, but my drinks hadn't even been started when I arrived. Both hot drinks were only room temperature, my half-sugar drink was sweeter than a previous regular-sugar order, and my 2 peach gum drink came with the wrong lid so the straw wouldn't fit. I had to drive back to get the correct lid. Very disappointing. I regret coming back instead of going to TP Tea. read more

Ordered grape cheese tea just to have me wait 10 mins to let me know there is not more cheese foam. Gave me different toppings instead bur charged me the same price. read more

This review is for their TGTG orders--on the app they're listed as TeaEver. You get three random large drinks for just $6.99, which is an amazing deal as long as you're open to trying different flavors. They usually choose what to make, but sometimes they'll even ask about my sweetness preference, which I really appreciate. What truly stands out is how thoughtful they are. When I come in with my young kids, they automatically make sure one or two of the drinks are non-caffeinated milk-based or smoothie options for them--no need to ask. It's such a kind touch! Highly recommend if you're like me, not picky and love a great deal with excellent service! read more

I visited for the first time last month. I came specifically for the diy dessert bowl. This is a comparison from my first visit to my fourth visit. 1ST VISIT Service was questionable. They have a self order kiosk but I had questions as the menu had duplicate items in english but different in chinese and didnt know what some items were. The cashier stated she cant read chinese and couldn't really explain what the items were. Although she did clarify the osmanthus jelly came in cube or noodle shape. I ordered hot, coconut soup with osmanthus cubes jelly, oolong jelly, red bean, peach gum, and taro. Cons: Came cold which makes sense as the jelly would probably melt. Hot should be removed as an option. I wanted sweet soup or tremella soup but they don't actually ever have it. So I picked coconut soup, which was very watery and lacked flavor. Osmanthus jelly came is wrong shape, asked for cubes and got noodles. PROS: The options were all delicious even though the coconut soup was light in flavor. You can taste all the individual flavors, and still worked well as a whole. The jellies had perfect firmness. The dessert was so refreshing, filling and affordable. It was so good despite the cons. I couldn't leave a 3 star review knowing its potential. Fast forward 3 visits later! FOURTH VISIT The staff is much more knowledgeable. The menu still includes items that are not available. The dessert bowl ordered came as ordered. Cold, coconut soup with osmanthus cubes jelly, oolong jelly, red bean, peach gum, and taro. The coconut soup has improved, thicker and flavorful. I have ordered a few drinks here but I return every week for the DIY dessert bowl. I don't know any other local eatery offering varieties of tea jelly. Which are all tasty! Trust me, Ive tried them all. Highly recommend giving it a try. read more

Came here for the first with a friend after lunch together. We were very full but of course we still decided to get dessert. We both decided on getting the DIY dessert bowl. You get to pick 5 (I think) toppings and a base. My friend picked her 5 topping with the coconut milk. I got small mochi balls, grass jelly, oolong jelly, lychee jelly, and fresh mango with a milk tea base. It tastes sooo good. I know everything else is pretty much pre-made but the we liked the milk tea base so much that we each bought another bottle of their HK milk tea. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. Also the lady at the counter was very helpful. I couldn't finish my bowl and asked for for a lid. The lid doesn't quite fit so she offered to tape it up for me and she wrapped it all up nice and tight :D read more

HA Tea Handmade - DIY Dessert Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Millbrae, California

HA Tea Handmade has many options to choose from with a variety of desserts, drinks, and snacks. Their fruit drinks are pretty sweet though, even if made at lower sugar percentages. The Grass Jelly Milk Tea at 50% sugar was very diluted however. The popcorn chicken is good and has a large portion. The service was quite fast, taking around 10-15 minutes. The inside is welcoming, with a good amount of seating and good cleanliness. Would recommend coming :) read more

5 stars for the Dessert DIY: $7.50 for a DIY dessert - pick a base, hot or cold, and then 5 toppings. There are the standard beans (red, green), balls (boba, taro, mochi), jellies (pudding, herbal), and even more out there stuff (kit kats? oreo??). If you've been to Eastern Ice in Taiwan it gives those vibes. Portion is big too! This spot has rotated through at least 2 boba shops in the past so I hope HA Tea's a success. read more

Got the lychee dragonfruit smoothie because it sounded refreshing. Got 50% sweetness. Added lychee jelly and I think it kinda overpowered the drink but it's ok. The cheese cream top was really good. Definitely want to come back and try the taro ball dessert bowls. The smell of popcorn chicken made my hungry. Parking can be limited during busy times. read more

HA Tea Handmade - lychee dragonfruit smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Millbrae, California

This was not good. We waited 40 minutes for two drinks (they were running a BOGO on lychee slushies) and there were weird black spots at the bottom of our drink- normally you'd chalk this up to seeds from watermelon or passionfruit, but our drink was a lychee slushie. Is the blender not cleaned thoroughly enough from previous orders? I got 25 sweetness and still found it overbearing. There was only one barista when we went and she looked really overwhelmed, so I don't blame her. Just by reading the other reviews it seems other people have luck with their snacks and milk teas hitting the spot, so I'd opt for those if you have your heart set on trying Ha Tea. read more

HA TEA is the new name for this place Parking can be challenging here Came on a weekend evening and no one was here. The staff were super nice and help with the recommendations. You order on the kiosk. Everything was really good! Had milk alternatives. Their boba was kinda on the harder end but it was flavorful. Tea taste was strong which I loved. Everything got something different but love their drinks- order matcha to house milk tea, oolong milk tea and fruit drinks. 7 drinks totaled to $52 They don't have a stamp add or a frequent loyalty card here. read more

Been coming here whenever we finished at SK and the drinks are amazing! They use real fruits and the mango smoothie is my go-to order. This time I wanted to try their food since I'm in the area and definitely enjoyed it. The staff is very nice and friendly as well as knowledgeable with their menu. The wings did not come with any sauce the female staff was kind enough to ask if I wanted salt and pepper on it as it came plain and I was definitely surprised with how good their customer service is. In other places they would just give you the order and move on. There's a good amount of seating available so I decided to just sit down and have my order for dinner. They have played mostly Asian pop songs. Although I don't understand the lyrics, the playlist is quite lively and upbeat. read more

I also like their milk jelly series as well as their weekly buy 1 get 1 free deals on the app! read more

HA Tea Handmade - Outside - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Millbrae, California

My friend reintroduced me to this place, apparently the name has changed since my last experience in 2022. Now it's Ha Tea (formerly TeaEver). I tried their Chinese desserts (the jelly and mochi cornucopia). What I like is that I can decide on the sweetness and level with the milk/simple syrup mixture on my own rather since it is in a small salsa like container. I haven't returned to their milk tea variety, I'm kind of a loyalist to other shops when it comes to drinks. There is room for improvements with staffing. The young lady worker was all by herself managing orders that were coming in via kiosk, counter, and tablet orders. I felt bad she had to apologize to me for the wait, but that's not her fault. Expect to wait another 30 minutes for your order if you see customers inside/outside the facility. read more

Background & Store Interior: Formerly TeaEver, the shop has rebranded as HA Tea. The store has a few tables and seats to enjoy your drinks and/or wait for your order. There's a few merch items/plushies available for purchase on display as well. Ordering/Menu: The shop has a kiosk to order via Snackpass. You can also order ahead using the Snackpass app on your phone (the shop is still named TeaEver on the Snackpass app). One thing that was confusing about the menu is the photo depicts boba, but the drink itself does not include it (you need to add boba as an additional topping if you want it). I wish the menu was more clear about this as I had to confirm with an employee before ordering. My order: I was excited to try this boba shop for their Taiwanese Cake Milk Tea. The total of the drink came out to $6.70 ($5.95 for the drink and $0.75 for boba). The drink was creamy and tasted as expected (imagine milk tea with sweet cream--no physical cake as one might think from its name). I would come back again either for the same drink or to try a new one. Parking: It can be difficult to find parking around the area, but we were lucky to find a spot on the street right outside the shop. read more

This TeaEver location is under a condominium complex on a busy main street with street parking out front. I am not sure if they changed their name to a new name - Ha Tea, as they have changed their cups with the new name on them. Ordering is through the kiosk or online on their app - a bit slow to make the drinks, but the employees seemed at least somewhat nice from my minimal interactions with them. I have been here a couple of times now, mostly out of convenience, if I am eating nearby - it has gotten a bit better than my previous visits. I ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea with boba - light ice and 75% sugar. Milk tea was creamier than before, which I prefer and enjoyed, while the boba was chewy and soft. read more

We arrived late from a flight and looking around for late night boba options near the airport. Upon walking in 15 minutes before closing the worker was super nice and they even had boba still available! Milk Tea with Red Bean and Pudding - 5/5 stars for me for this drink! There was a nice amount of red bean and as a huge red bean lover I enjoyed how much there was in the drink. Milk tea was standard. Signature Wukong Black Milk Tea - 4/5 very interesting flavor, almost like a caramel(?) milk tea. My husband enjoyed it and it came with coffee jelly. My only suggestion was I wish they would put more descriptions for certain items, like I wanted to get the Milk Tea 3Q but couldn't find what that included in english. I love the self order kiosk at front and drinks were prepared fast. Would return if in the area! read more

Wish I can give zero star. Many items listed they don't have, use too many processed food and the sesame paste is tasteless in a thin plastic box, completely different from the picture. Avoid this place. read more

I came here to the this shop, I've tried the previous boba shops from here before and this was under a new name so I really wanted to try it. Parking was a little hard to find. I parked about half a block away and walked over. I will say the service is good in the sense that they're very nice and welcoming. I love the younger girl that worked there. She answered all of my questions. The overall time for them to make a drink is extremely long and also not time well. I ordered two drinks and a snack and the drinks have been sitting there for about 5 to 8 minutes before she started making the food. I wish they typed it better together. I tried the durian mango sago, and my dad did not like it. He ended up throwing it all away, unfortunately. The durian toast was OK but I don't think my dad liked it a lot either. The Matcha latte ice cream it was a little different than what's on the menu. It's supposed to be made with a Matcha milk tea, but I asked for a Matcha latte and ice cream and she was able to make it. I love the consistency of it is a little thicker than your average Matcha latte due to the ice cream melting in there. It's very creamy very delicious and the Matcha definitely hit. Overall, I would say the place is a little subpar. I don't think I will be returning until the next time it's under a different name again lol. read more

I think their drinks are fine, but the uncertain part is whether there's enough workers when you happen to stop by. TeaEver isn't amazing, but the location is convenient so when the rush comes in and they're short-staffed, the wait can be pretty dang long. I happened to stop by on a random weekday afternoon so there pretty much was no wait (but when I deliver during dinner or late-night, I feel bad for the workers and also see frustrated customers.) That being said, I got the matcha latte boba because I love matcha. The matcha flavor is alright - could have been stronger but very acceptable. I don't get boba that much anymore because I remember when drink used to be like $2-3, and now at like $6+, I'd rather get food honestly. But yeah, prices here are fine for the times (I definitely don't do $12+ boba drinks), and overall TeaEver is a nice no-frills stop for your boba (and crispy chicken) fix. read more

HA Tea Handmade - Matcha Latte with Regular Boba (I think $0.60 extra) - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Millbrae, California

Stopped by TeaEver while waiting to pickup my parents at SFO. Definitely a much more relaxed and less hectic spot to wait near the airport that the nearby In-N-Out parking lot that many Uber/Lyft drivers tend to hang out at. Although a small shop, there is plenty of seating available inside if you want to just stay and relax, study, or get some work done. Free Wi-Fi is available, and saw a lady with her laptop doing just that when I went. Ordering can be done via the kiosk or at the counter. Only saw 1 lady both making the drinks as well as manning the front when I visited, although it was also a pretty slow time so thankfully there wasn't a lot of wait. Ordered the Passionfruit Pineapple Green Tea w/ boba. Really enjoyed the juice and tea flavor, and loved the soft yet chewy texture of their boba. Free street parking is available directly in front of their shop. read more

Got to get my boba fix, so I decided to checkout TeaEver's Millbrae location. Unlike their Daly City location, I had trouble finding parking, but it's expected in this area. The store was inviting and the staff was friendly. They have a large variety of flavors. But, I ordered my standard Jasmin Milk tea with boba. I waited about 5 minutes for my order. The flavor of the tea was good. Unfortunately, the boba was not. It wasn't soft and chewy like a good honey boba should be. Instead, it was a bit hard and chewy. I don't think the boba was fresh. I guess I'll have to skip this place next time I have a boba craving. read more

mmm it's okay. I would go here for the drinks but the snacks are just okay, nothing special and not much flavor. The drinks are really refreshing and tasty and not too sweet which is perfect. I got the 10.99 combo of popcorn chicken+drink so that was a good deal.Additionally the bubble waffle is pretty good. read more

Came here on a hot Monday afternoon. No line and no one sitting around. Ordering was a breeze at tge self service kiosk, plus there were a bunch of options for fresh milk and milk tea. Since I'm staying caffeine free, I ordered the T3 Fresh milk. It was definitely on the sweeter side even though i ordered it at 50% sweet. The lady behind the counter was also super friendly. Plenty of seating, though feels a bit cramped and not much of a view - but who really needs a view on El Camino? The spot is super close to home and parking was easy peasy, so that's enough for me to call it a winner! Side note, they were also selling fruits in the store too... random but just in case you wanted fruit with your boba, the option is here. lol! read more
