I've had this place bookmarked for a while and after my sister in law recommended it, I decided to finally give it a try. Ordering is done on an iPad and their matcha is STRONG. Pricing is reasonable and the customer service is great. Every barista I interacted with whether it be asking for light ice or no ice has been great. Their honey boba is delicious and drinks are consistent. I am a new mom and honestly this place and the caffeine hits are the highlights of my day while on maternity leave. I'm not a fan of their milk teas however. They don't charge for oat milk and parking is in the parking garage. read more

Ordered the double blueberry tea with boba. Tea was very refreshing. Strong blueberry flavor and the foam was light/sweet, really complimented the drink well. Boba was on the firmer side and could've tasted sweeter/be softer. read more

All of the drinks were solid, especially the guava matcha & hojicha! They had the perfect amount of sweetness while still keeping the matcha and hojicha flavors bold. I felt like the blueberry matcha was a bit bitter for me, and it could've used a bit more cream. I loved how pretty all the layers looked, and the store itself was super cute too! read more

I have an unhealthy obsession with Haiku. Hands down the best matcha in the South Bay no daejon!!! I believe they use marukyu koyamaen so for all my true matcha enthusiasts, this place is legit hehe. My fav drink is their cookie butter black sesame so although it isn't a matcha it's saurrr yummylicious. Service is always supa friendly and quick too. 1BILLION BIG BOOMS XD!!! Just make sure to get less sweetness :) read more

The last time I came here, I enjoyed a corn latte. This time, I ordered the Corn Einspanner. I appreciated the Einspanner because I could really taste the corn milk. It was a thick nice drink to have. Service was through both a kiosk and cashier. Ambiance had a lot of really neat decor. read more

Stopped here for a morning matcha with my cousin. Super limited seating inside . Service was quick and efficient. I normally would do 4 stars because of how little seating there was but honestly the cookie butter matcha was one of the best matchas I've ever had so had to give them their full 5 stars. Perfect sweetness and the cookie pieces on top were a nice touch. I'm pretty much never in the area but I still think about this drink all the time and definitely will be back soon to get it again. read more

Haiku Teahouse - Matcha Cookie Butter Cream Top (16oz) and Strawberry Hojicha Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Really great tea/boba spot! Honestly I think it's underrated. I ordered a Matcha Einspanner at 50% sweetness and it was perfect. Sweet enough to still taste like a little treat but the matcha flavor still came through, and it wasn't grainy at all. The whipped cream on top was delicious and lightly sweetened, which I loved. I ordered for pickup via DoorDash and my order was ready when I arrived. Very quick service and friendly barista. The interior is pretty casual with 4 small tables inside for seating. Very clean and modern. There's a bit of merch at the entrance of the store. The shop is also located conveniently next to an apartment complex. There's a parking garage available as well with ample parking. Can't wait to come back! read more

Parking: Garage around the corner with plenty of spots. This is my favorite spot to go to study. They have self-serve wifi, a bathroom, and seating (although it is limited: 4 tables inside indoors, 1 table outdoors). The drinks are super high quality and the tea is strong. Their signature is the poison oak boba which is my absolute favorite topping. I recommend their matcha einspanner or jasmine tea latte! It's the perfect fix if you need caffeine. The baristas are really friendly and the drinks come out really fast as well. Definitely check it out! read more

Visited this matcha spot recently since it was near the ceramic studio I go to and I'm so glad I did! The cookie butter matcha is delicious! The matcha flavor is strong and floral, and the cream top is thick and creamy! Service is self serve and not much of a wait, there are some tables but the inside is not too big, so once the tables are full it can be pretty noisy, all in all I'll def be back for this matcha read more

Go-to spot for a Black Sesame latte Haiku Teahouse looks like an unassuming cafe but it's drinks are phenomenal! I've come here on about two occasions, and the Black Sesame Latte is one of the best I've ever had. Its flavors are not overly sweet, and you can taste the quality of their coffee and ingredients. The place itself is small, so it's not the best place to get work done, but as a grab-and-go drink spot, it works. Parking is available on the street outside the building and inside of a parking garage nearby. Orders are taken on a self-serve kiosk. The second time I came around 9AM, they were completely out of the Black Sesame, which I found odd-make sure you have a backup plan in mind if they run out of stock! I'll definitely be coming back soon to get my coffee fix! read more

I've been to Haiku a few times now. I live really close, and it's only about a five minute drive, but it didn't really catch my attention at first. Usually, it isn't too crowded when I visit, so finding a table is easy. There also isn't much interaction with the baristas since orders are placed through the kiosk. I've tried serval drinks, including the banana matcha, cookie butter matcha, and corn einspannar. When I first tried the matcha, I thought it was just okay, it tasted pretty bland. The corn einspannar was definitely the standout at the time, although I got tired of the flavor after a few sips. I'm a huge fan of anything cookie butter, so I'm always looking for places that do it well. I decided to try the cookie butter hojicha, and it was amazing. The hojicha here is a 10/10! Later, I tried the cookie butter latte, and it was just as good. The cookie butter and coffee pair so well together. The main reasons I keep coming back is their cookie butter and hojicha. If they ever take the cookie butter off the menu, I'll be sad read more

Came for their 2nd anniversary drink sale. I ordered the PBP jasmine tea drink, which is pomegranate, blood orange, and passion fruit. Unfortunately, they were out of their boba when I ordered. The drinks were on sale so it was less than $5. Can't beat it! They also gave out raffle tickets and if you win, you can win some cute items and I ended up winning a capybara clicker keychain. Very cute. The line wasn't too long either. read more

Been here a couple times as they consistently launch new cream tops that sound quite appealing. Most recently I tried the mango matcha latte. Mango cream top tasted exactly like the fruit, no artificial flavor but mixed into matcha was just okay. Matcha definitely overpowers the mango. I definitely prefer their strawberry matcha over the mango. Their drinks are pretty good quality, solid 4/5 everytime. You order through the kiosk so there's not much customer service/ interaction. Knocked off a star because of the lack of customer service. This happened twice but our drinks were done but they didn't call out a name, they just leave it at the pick up area. No text confirmation either so not sure how we are supposed to know our drink was ready or if we are expected to check the label of each drink that was coming out... There's retail parking at the bottom floor of apartment complex. Like 2 min walk. read more

Been eyeing this place for a while now, so I'm so glad I finally got to try it! I was particularly eyeing the corn latte, and was hoping they could make it with matcha instead of coffee but they couldn't :( I still enjoyed the coffee tho because it was sweet and creamy (even with 25% sweetness!). And it didn't make my heart jittery! My bf got the obsidian hojicha latte and it was very very strong! I would get this again for sure. The boba was also chewy and yummy. The strawberry matcha was good too but a little too sweet for me even with 25% sugar. Matcha taste was strong tho! They have very limited seating inside, but I was lucky enough to get a table. They have wifi so I was able to get some work done there :) read more

I've been wanting to try Haiku Teahouse for a while, so I stopped by on a Friday afternoon. I parked in the parking garage which was mostly empty. There was no line and my drink came out quick. There were a few tables inside, but all of them were taken by people with laptops working. It's a pretty small place with limited seating so I don't think I'd want to bring a laptop and work here. I got the guava matcha latte from their seasonal menu. I really liked the guava cream top, it was a good combination of sweet and tart. The matcha itself was okay but a little chalky. If I came back I probably wouldn't get a matcha, but they have a lot of other drinks that looked good. read more

I love how Haiku Teahouse gets creative with their drinks. The cafe itself is well kept the workers are good about making their drinks maintaining consistent each time. The staff were also friendly! There's plenty of seating for anyone to chill, but it can get pretty loud during peak hours. I tried their mango matcha latte and could taste the refreshing mango flavor without the artificialness. The matcha einspanner was super velvety with a strong matcha flavor. I love the way it was whipped for that extra creaminess. A nice bonus is not charging extra for oat milk... looks like most of us are lactose intolerant! I'd definitely recommend this place. I love supporting small businesses! read more

Haiku Teahouse had really good drinks, and I definitely recommend checking this place out. It's a small coffee and boba shop with a cute vibe and cozy atmosphere. The staff was very friendly, and the drinks came out in a timely manner. The only negative thing I noticed was that they charge extra for whole milk, but not for oat milk or lactose-free milk. I was honestly surprised because most boba or coffee shops usually do it the other way around and charge for the alternative milk options instead. I thought that was funny and something new to learn! Overall, I still highly recommend trying this place out. read more

Cutest cafe ever! It's a bit tucked away at the corner of an appt building and seating is limited, but it's a good place to study-quiet and chill. Also has cute capybara merchandise and plushies on display. We were in need of energy boost and stopped by for a drink and decided to order the lemon poppyseed muffin. Wow, that muffin! Soft and moist, and freshly baked with the best burst of lemon-sooo good! I would probably come back just for that muffin! For drinks, I ordered a hot Hojicha Latte and the next time I was there, I ordered an iced Strawberry Hojicha Latte, and both were good. I also tried a Calamansi Green Jasmine Tea and it was a bit sour. After adjusting sugar and ice levels, and watering it down, I still didn't like it. The barista offered to make me a new drink and I loved what I replaced it with. Really appreciated the effort and kindness. Love this cafe and hope to be back soon for more muffins, more tea, and more capybara cuteness! read more

I recently discovered and fell in love with their strawberry matcha latte. I just went two days in a row just for this drink. I can't speak for the other drinks because I've only gotten the matcha lattes here. There usually aren't too many people, so the line moves fast and drinks come out pretty fast. Normally pretty chill. I'll definitely be coming back for this. read more

Update! My recent trips here have me feeling compelled to say some nice things about Haiku. Maybe it's because I've tried a lot of mid matchas lately lol. What I have been enjoying lately from Haiku: - iced Matcha Guava latte (50% classic sweet, regular ice) + oat milk - Iced Matcha strawberry latte (50% classic sweet, regular ice) + oat milk wow the matcha here is great quality and the blend of everything is solid. I normally get 50% sweet, less ice at boba shops, their 50% classic sweet is perfect in their drinks. Their ice amount is not overwhelming either. Love that they do not charge extra for oat milk! The guava matcha is my go to, but you really can't go wrong with their matcha strawberry either. Both are not super sweet at 50% and the guava with the guava or strawberry are composed well. Drinks are both not overly powerful in the flavor you choose, while the matcha is not overly bitter as well. Updating my review to a 5 :-D ---How I Rate on Yelp:--- (5 stars): Exceptional!! -- food, service, and atmosphere all outstanding. Worth going out of your way. (4 stars): Great! -- very good experience overall, minor flaws but nothing major. (3 stars): Good -- decent, acceptable, but there's room for clear improvement. (2 stars): Poor -- disappointing experience, multiple issues (food, service, or setting). (1 star): Terrible -- very bad experience, would not return or recommend. read more

I ordered the: Banana Hojicha Latte Guava Hojicha Latte banana hojicha latte was more on the sweeter side but even then it was just right sweet. I enjoyed the drink fully and didnt feel bloated Guava hojicha latte was actually super enjoyable. I liked both flavors as they melted together well. These were the best hojicha lattes I've had. Both drinks were strong. I prefered the Guava syrup more than the banana cream top. Banana is very versatile and can be strong or super light depending on how it was made but it worked well with hojicha. read more

Been here once before for a YELP event, so when I saw that they had a banana matcha latte added to the menu you know I had to come back. Parking was easy on a Saturday afternoon and no line! I was pleasantly surprised. The matcha latte with oat milk was delicious! Banana cream added the perfect flavor. I got 25% sweet and it was just right. They use cane sugar to sweeten. They have a few tables, are pet friendly, and the inside is light and bright. The staff were cheerful! read more

I love the aesthetic of this tea shop! It's so cute inside, from the simplistic menu to the cute capybara decorations. I'm not from the area, and I will happily say that when I come to town, I will give this spot a visit. I've been here twice now, and the cookie butter matcha really stands out. It's a delicious and truly perfected drink. I haven't tried a combination like it before. I lovee the concentrated, earthy, and a hint of bitter matcha bottom paired with the sweet, creamy cookie butter cream top. They go together so well. The other two drinks I've tried are the Guava Jasmine tea and the Mount Everest Black Tea with Salted Cheese. Of these two, I liked the black tea more. The black tea was strong, and the Salted Cheese topping was a nice, thick consistency and a good balance of saltiness, sweetness, and cheese taste. I would probably not order the Guava Jasmine tea again. I was looking on this Yelp page for which drinks to order, and I was sad to find out that they don't offer their White Peach Oolong tea anymore, but Haiku has an easy-to-access website to order from in advance, so shoutout to that. I'm curious about the Corn Einspanner, so maybe I'll give it a try the next time I come back. read more

First off, they don't have a dedicated parking lot. Street parking, but it's a residential like area, so there's literally no street parking. There is, however, a two to three car loading zone, so if you have a driver, you can have someone wait in the car while you walk over. Anyway, if I could give zero stars, I'd do so here. Only one kiosk to order from, so if someone is wishy washy about what to order, then the line starts to build up quickly. Anyway, I ordered the black sesame einspanner at 50% sweetness, but holy cow, I took my first sip and it was probably more like 200% sweetness. I thought I just needed to mix the drink a little, but no after mixing it a few times, every sip was just as sweet. I'm pretty sure my blood sugar spiked after a few sips. I couldn't believe how sweet it was. Basically, so sweet that it's not a drink you can enjoy. I ended up throwing the drink away when I got home. Like the other reviewers who also noticed about sweet it was..it just sounds like the people working there don't care and pump sweetener into the drinks for fun. I think if you like extremely sweet drinks, this is the place. It's hard to believe the good reviews now. The place was cute though. Not a lot of seating inside, but there's a nice concrete sitting area outside. read more

My friend and I finally made it to Haiku Teahouse, a spot we've been eyeing on TikTok for a long time, and we drove 40 minutes to get there. It's been on our list for so long, and it did not disappoint. I usually try drinks at normal sweetness when visiting a new place to see if it's too sweet, but this time I went with less sweet, and it was just perfect. Even with less sweetness, it wasn't too sugary, and it hit the right balance for me. We got the Hojicha Cookie Butter Cream Top and the Corn Einspanner. The Hojicha drink was smooth, rich, and delicious, especially at less sweetness. The Corn Einspanner was really different. I've always been curious about corn drinks but hesitant to try them. My friend, who loves corn drinks because of his ethnic background, really enjoyed it and could tell it was made fresh. For me, it was an interesting flavor, not my usual preference, but it was a good first-time try. The café itself is clean with great ambiance, and the staff were really nice and took their time carefully making our drinks. Overall, it was a fun and satisfying experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their creative drinks. read more

I've been here twice. Found it through yelp; I had no idea it had a large social media presence (judging from other Yelpers) It's a bit out of my way, but every time I've gone, they've executed my special requests :) I like my matcha lattes more on the bitter side. I want to taste the matcha. For this place, I ask for no added sweeteners, substitute ceremonial matcha, and add extra matcha. There's an additional $1-$2 charge which is fine, but it was made well and that's what's important! There's a kiosk to order as well as an actual human to order from. Decor is simple and chic. read more

Haiku Teahouse has the best hojicha lattes in the area! In my opinion, others always pale in comparison. Parking is available in the retail parking garage. Upon exiting the garage, the shop is right there! There aren't very many tables but it's a perfect place to do some work if needed. There is also free wifi. My favorite drink is the Obsidian Hojicha Latte! It has the deepest and smokiest flavor out of all the places in San Jose. I find myself thinking about this drink often when I crave hojicha. Overall the drinks aren't too sweet and everything is adjustable. An added bonus to the aesthetic decor is the cute drawings left behind by staff and customers. They add the feel of a lively tea shop that is well loved by its customers! read more

The ambience, service and flavor of the product was great. The establishment is very clean and welcoming. The kiosk system is set up very easy and customizable. A simple, clean and smooth process. I've gone to this store front when it first opened and I haven't gone back since. When they first opened the quality of the drinks were not as great due to how impacted and busy they were as any other "new business" opening in the Bay Area. The flavors were very chalky and unbalanced. Going back to it now months/year(s?) later I can definitely taste the difference in flavor, depth and quality put into it. I'm not a big fan of matcha but when I do want a cup the Guava matcha is my #1. The guava matcha has been one of my favorite go to's ever since I've tried Haiku's pop up in their earlier days. It is different and unique compared to the classic strawberry matchas. I am happy to know that I can always rely on them as my go to for matcha lattes. The matcha flavor is deep and rich while the guava is nice and subtle. Mixing the two together it tastes very harmonious while not over powering one another. read more

I tried their corn latte (which comes with a cute little corn ice cream mold) and corn cream top which was so delicious, I love corn so this flavor in a latte really elevated it. I also had their guava matcha which was by far one of my favorite matchas I've had, the guava was perfectly paired with the matcha (you can customize your sweetness and milk type which is awesome).

There honestly aren't many places in the Bay Area that do matcha well, and Haiku Teahouse is one of the few I'd choose. I ordered the double matcha einspanner, while my husband went with the iced ceremonial matchacano. The einspanner was super creamy and indulgent. It wasn't as smooth as I wanted, but it still hit the spot. The matcha was very strong, enough to keep me up at night, which I didn't mind since it was the weekend. My husband's ceremonial matchacano was clean, refreshing, and clearly made with quality matcha. If you're looking for bold, unapologetically strong matcha, Haiku Teahouse delivers. read more

This boba spot has a large variety of drinks featuring matcha, hojicha, and einspanners. We ordered online and the drinks were ready within 10 minutes. There's a few tables and they super cute merch featuring capybaras. Tie Guan Yin Oolong Milk tea: one of the best tie guan yin in the Bay Area. Strong tea flavor, with a slightly bitter aftertaste that Iron Goddess oolong in particular is known for. Not quite as floral as a jasmine milk tea from Molly tea, but I do prefer oolong if it's done right. Once we tasted how good this tea flavor was, we knew we can trust the other drinks here too. Hoping they'll have other oolong varieties in the future. Boba topping: so chewy and yummy. I usually don't get toppings unless it's good - and it's good here. Even in the fridge overnight, it didn't get hard like with other places. Corn Einspanner: I don't see corn drinks very often (only at Bopomofo in SoCal) so I just HAD to try it here! It was SO GOOD. the corn flavor was strong, not watered down, and perfectly complemented by the creamy top. Definitely get it if you like sweet corn. I will definitely be back to try their matcha, hojicha, and black sesame drinks since those seem to be their signatures. Also intrigued by their genmaicha. read more
