    Very average boba shop Cute interior but the milk teas were pretty bland. My roasted oolong had no flavor at all, but the pearls were good! I'd rather go to Urban Ritual.

    Creme brulee oolong with grass jelly
    Kim T.

    Came here after eating all the noods . As if I needed more calories, but I did it. No regrets. Lol Creme Brulee Oolong with grass jelly. Omg heaven and creaminess in my mouth. Less ice, 50% sweet pure perfection. They were out of boba and I didn't want to wait 20 min so I switched it for grass jelly and was just as tasty

    Such a perfect way to beat the heat! The place has this super cute, chill vibe, and there are so many drink options it honestly took me a while to decide. I ended up getting the Salted Cheese Oreo Matcha (so good), and my boyfriend went for the seasonal Salted Cheese Peach. I almost caved and got something from the pudding section--especially the coconut pudding, which I keep seeing everywhere lately. Drinks were refreshing, staff were super nice and patient while explaining everything, and the prices were actually cheaper than a lot of spots nearby--about $6.50-$8. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to.

    I went with the roasted oolong milk tea...delicious. The oolong jelly was a standout: smooth, flavorful, and complemented the drink perfectly. I ordered it with light ice and light sugar which was perfect. Sat outside in the shared space.

    A good place for drinks. This place wasn't busy. Had some cute decorations and seemed clean. We liked both drinks. Got Mango coconut pudding and Super Orange green tea. Everything tasted well made. Clean tea flavor. You can adjust the sweet. Ordered on the kiosk. Barely any seating. I think this place is fairly new. Service was ok. Street parking around the corner.

    I came here hoping that the recent Yelp activity with glowing 4 star reviews would satisfy my milk tea cravings and was completely disappointed. Food / Drinks S4. Salted Cheese Peach Oolong (50% sweetness, 25% ice) This drink was completely watered down. I could barely taste any tea. The salted cheese was not even close to what it should taste like. Sadly after the first sip, I knew this would need to be discarded right away. T6. Oat Highland Barley Milk Tea (75% sweetness, 25% ice) Since the milk tea was brewing for another 8-10 minutes, I was given a choice for oolong milk tea or a refund. I decided to substitute it for oolong milk tea. The drink itself was not good. The boba in the drink was mini sized - I had no idea that it wouldn't be the original boba. The oats were super mushy. This was another miss on the order. Customer Service As I was at the self-service kiosk in the process of placing my order, the employee said there would be a 30 minutes wait time to pick up my order. I took a chance and placed an order for two drinks, thinking the employee over estimated the turnaround time. There were a ton of other customers inside and thought perhaps the drinks must be that good. I was completely wrong. It was July 4th and there were only two employees working? Not only did I have to wait for 30 minutes, I ended up receiving my order after 50 minutes from the order timestamp. I had asked when my order was ready after waiting 40 minutes. One of the two employees responded, "hold on" since there were 6 other customers waiting for their orders as well. The other employee said that it would take 10 minutes to brew the milk tea or I can get a refund. So I decided to wait again and then was told 5 minutes later that my Oat Highland Barley Milk Tea would need to be substituted with oolong milk tea instead. Once my drinks were finally provided, I asked if I could at least receive a partial refund for the long wait. The employee said that they couldn't override the system and proceeded to give me $5 as a courtesy refund. Ambiance Bright white with neutral wood aesthetics from the chair to the main island kitchen counter. There's 4 mini claw machines set up in the back. Location In the downtown area next door to Potato Stick and across from Tong Sui.

    Downtown San Mateo has like, double digit boba shops - a few of which have come and go, and Heeretea is one of my favorites after trying all of them. Heeretea is quite Chinese, has cat decor, has a great variety of flavors, and they generally do all of them well. I especially like how their fruit teas taste pretty fresh with a good balance in flavor. Their lemon teas tend to have lemon seeds dropped in, so be wary about them. Their tea strength is also strong, and they sometimes put something new on the menu. The boba is on the chewy side, and can sometimes be too chewy and dense. Otherwise, they're relatively good, though one time they tested out a different, more translucent boba formula. Word to the wise, don't get the popping chestnut or coconut meat bobas. Heeretea offers varying levels of sweetness and ice modification. I usually like getting 25-50% of each, depending on how I'm feeling that day. You go in and order on a kiosk, though you can also order with staff or online. There's several tables inside for very small groups. They have claw machines in the back, and on Fridays there is a $1=2 games special! - Lemon Jasmine Tea with Tea Jelly Refreshing light lemon tea with muddled lemon and lime, and the jelly is slightly firm jello with that bitter tea taste. - Fresh Lemon Black Tea with Lychee Jelly Solid lemon black tea that also comes with a lime slice, and is not as sweet as you'd think at 100% sweetness. Lemon is suitably muddled with a lot of slices. This tastes similar to boxed lemon tea. - Fresh Lemon Grape Four Season Tea with Jasmine Tea Jelly This tasted like a refreshing light and smooth oolong with bright lemon and subtle sweetness from grapes. The jelly was like smooth jello with a mild tea taste. - Fresh Lemon Peach Oolong Tea with Boba Another good lemon tea drink, with nice oolong strength and extra mild sweetness from the peach. I'd say the peach balances out the sourness from the lemon more than the other lemon drinks. - Super Fresh Fruit Tea with Boba I've gotten different fruits with this order, so I assume they give you whatever they have at the time. It's a delicious and pricey way to get your fruits in for the day, though the fruits do take up liquid space. At 50% sweetness, it's on the sweet side. - Fresh Taro Cake Milk Tea with Lychee Jelly I'm impressed that my partner ordered this as it certainly sounds strange, but I'm glad for science. It's literally a milk tea with cream and taro paste slathered inside with some cake crumb pieces. Like, pieces of cake! It did not blend well. Additionally, the lychee jelly did not go well in the combination. It's an example of science gone wrong. - Devil Wuwu (Milk Tea) It's basically brown sugar milk tea with cheese foam and a creme brulee top. It's the devil because of how much calories it is. Get this if you like decadent creamy milk tea drinks and don't eat anything else that day. - Mr. Mango It's just mango puree with coconut milk; it's delicious and refreshing for mango lovers, otherwise not too much to say about it, other than it comes in a smaller cup and looks pretty. - Passion Fruit Duo I've had this at 25% ice and sugar and thought it was perfect at that amount. I like this combo because it comes with two toppings (lychee jelly and boba). It has tartness from the passion fruit with some seeds, a lemon slice, and is overall a solid fruit tea combination. Heeretea definitely offers a more eclectic selection than just a regular boba shop. They even have a very limited Hong Kong snack menu and beverage holders/coolers for sale.

    I like the cats on display near the front of the window and the wall art displayed along the length of the storefront interior. Order from a machine near the door and wait until your number is called. The other customers who were waiting for their order seemed more friendly than the staff, however, I did not interact as I typically would have since I was more so waiting for the drinks. They have a few little vending machines all the way in the back corner - can't miss them as their lights are eye-catching and shine so bright, like you're in one of those arcade malls in Japan. Cute items inside, but I didn't know how much it was to play. The floor in that area also looked really dirty and kind of turned me off. I ordered a sugarcane with popping pearls in it. I have had natural sugarcane juice before and had liked it. I thought that this was didn't quite hit the mark as previous ones I've had and I the popping bubble balls weren't what I was expecting them to be like. My thirst wasn't quenched in the way I had hoped. I wish they had more fruity options with jelly as that was what I was craving or matcha drinks. The cups are a decent size though. I did not end up finishing my drink. If you're really thirsty, this is a good place to grab a drink.

    Cute little boba shop! Love the cat prints on the wall. You order at the kiosk and there is a discount if you use cash or venmo at the counter but no one was there and it looked closed sooo...? Not a boba expert but got Mr. Mango which is mango, milk and coconut milk. Not a coconut milk fan but the flavor was very subtle so I didn't notice it. Maybe it made the drink creamier? A cute shop to sit around and chat with your friends. Took the table at the back where the claw machines were. Pro tip: If you want a serious conversation don't sit there cuz the music from the machines can be distracting and annoying. . Overall a cute shop to sit and chill and chat.

    Such a cute tea shop in San Mateo! My friend recommended their barley milk tea since it's very unique. Apparently this specific drink has popping barley, which is something I've never had, so I was extremely excited to try. The drink is on the pricier side, but it is the going rate nowadays for boba drinks. There wasn't any customers inside when I arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. I decided to order on their kiosk and the drink was ready within a couple of minutes! Very interesting drink and it would be something that I would probably order again. My friend also recommended their sugarcane drinks too!

    Claw machines in the back of the store
    Lily V.

    Very cute tea shop, the decorations were adorable with cute drawings and statues of cats to colorful lamps hanging down. There were also a few claw machines in the back of the shop where the restroom is out of order. The price of drinks are average priced (6-7$) and there's a variety of cheese foam drinks. I usually just order regular milk tea, half sugar and this time I wanted boba and no ice. I also ordered milk tea, half sugar, less ice. There's an ordering kiosk and a QR code to scan and order on your phone as well as a staff who can take your order. I ordered with a staff since the kiosk was busy and they were already at the counter. I got a number and waited for my order near the window seating. The drinks were at the counter once my number was called and given how busy it was inside we just decided to take a stroll out in the court and explore. The drinks were really good, the boba was made well as they were sweet and the right chewiness. I'm glad I got half sweet since it was the right amount of sweetness too. Very nice spot for a beverage and glad we stopped by.

    F6. Mango Coconut Pudding
    Susan Z.

    Love that they open late compared to many other boba shops; it's a nice place to hang out with friends after dinner. - Mango Coconut Pudding - delicious! It was tart and sweet, with lots of mango chunks and yummy coconut pudding. The pomelo is a nice touch. I liked this more than Heytea's mango drink. I couldn't adjust the sweetness of the drink, and I would've liked to lower it because I tend to drink less sweet. However, it wasn't sweet as I thought it would have been even with no customizations. I've also tried their Oat Highland Barley Milk Tea before and it's quite addicting. It's got a nice chew texture wise, and the flavor itself is pleasant and unique (I also love barley tea). Would recommend this drink since it's not offered at other places to see if it's something you'd like! Service is fast and friendly. Some indoor seats and there's also outdoor seating.

    T8. Fresh Taro Oat Milk Tea
    Sara T.

    Their tea is so good! They have some interesting combinations that you might not find elsewhere or maybe not as common. I usually go for their fruit teas either the grape ones or lemon or citrus ones but went for the fresh taro oat milk tea my last visit and I quite like it! I wasn't sure what to expect but they make it with black tea and fresh taro chunks and oats! I actually really liked this drink and would go back for this next time if I'm craving a little treat. A couple tables available for seating and an ordering kiosk or order at the counter.

We ordered 1 Ice Miso Caramel ($7), 1 Okinawa Brown Sugar ($7), and 1 Avocado Toast ($15 + soft boiled egg - $2.50). We unfortunately weren't much of a fan of the coffee. The miso caramel wasn't that great, the miso was too overpowering it just tasted like cold miso soup with no caramel and a hint of coffee. The okinawa brown sugar was much better but was mostly milky. I did enjoy the toast even though it was quite small for the price but it tasted great along with the egg and the tomatoes were very refreshing. Experience overall was good. I probably wouldn't come back for the coffee because there's better places in the area but definitely recommend the toast/other pastries if you're okay with the price.

There was no line at all, so my drink came out really quickly. Service was efficient, and basically non existent since you order on your phone, and pick it up from the counter. They have some seats indoors and a few benches outside, it's pretty spare and basic inside which is all you really need in a cafe. I saw a lot of people getting takeout, and some small groups around tables chatting. I was debating between the matcha and houjicha, then got intrigued by the black sesame, and finally after much internal debate, decided that black sesame + houjicha would work best together and wanted the einspanner. They honestly have so many intriguing options like Earl grey matcha einspanner??? Banana pudding?? I have to come back. My only complaint is the price but I guess everything is expensive these days. $8/9 for one of these drinks hurt my heart though. On the flavors: while I wish there was more black sesame (I always do), this was one of the most satisfyingly black sesame items I've had from a cafe. It went really well with the toasty roasty notes from the houjicha and I think they added enough of both amidst the milk to make it a very satisfying drink. This can be rare because a lot of places drown out all the flavors with too much milk. The best part though, was the einspanner - the sweetened whipped cream on top really brought the whole drink together and was so delicious. It made it just that little bit more decadent. I got it at minimal sweetness and at first though it wasn't enough, but I was glad I did as I worked my way through the cup, it was perfect.

I've tried their matcha and honestly thought it was great quality!! I noticed they sell Rocky Matcha, so I wonder if this is the matcha they use as well? If you are not a fan of just matcha and milk, I recommend you ask for a sweetener to add. SERVICE: 8/10 Service is pretty straightforward, and my order came out in a reasonable amount of time. Interactions with staff were pretty quick, but everything ran smoothly. AMBIANCE: 9/10 This coffee shop is minimal, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. It has a cozy modern vibe with thoughtful decor that makes it feel like a great place to slow down, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quiet morning. They also have a nice outdoor patio if you prefer sitting outside. Seating inside is limited. Overall, I'd definitely come back. While the drinks are a bit on the pricier side, the unique menu and inviting atmosphere make it a fun spot to visit, especially if you're looking to try something different from your usual coffee order. On my next visit, I will definitely need to try more of the desserts that they also sell.

    cafe kazka is such a hidden gem in foster city! my friend and I came to check it out for lunch…read moreafter hearing it was a hong kong-style cafe, and were not disappointed at all. first, the cafe is so cute and also spotless- I could've stayed all day just reading or doing work. there was lots of outdoor seating overlooking the water which was so nice! I got an iced HK style coffee + milk tea which I've never had before but was so delicious. I'd definitely come back to try the other fruity drinks too! we ordered the tom yum noodles, preserved vegetables & pork noodle soup, salt & pepper fries, and the HK style french toast with peanut butter. the french toast was our favorite- it was fluffy and chewy and was just like the HK classic. the noodle dishes were both so hearty and flavorful too, and the portions were a good size. it did take a bit long for everything to come out, but it did seem like there was only one person working and she was very kind and accommodating when we had questions about our order. we didn't mind at all, especially sitting outside and enjoying the view! overall, I'll for sure be back for the drinks and to try some other HK style street food.

    I stumbled upon Cafe Kazka when I was in the same plaza shopping at Osaka Marketplace. I like HK…read morestyle drinks, so I was excited to try it out. We were initially going to just stop by to grab drinks, but decided to sit down and order a few snacks as well. The location is right behind Foster City's Central lake and the weather was nice, so we decided to sit outside. We ordered the HK style milk tea, OG lemon tea, french fries, and the siu mai. If I just ordered the drinks, it might have been a better experience. The fries were okay, nothing special - they were a bit softer than I like. The siu mai was just bad. I'm not sure where it comes from, but it was gummy in texture and tasted like frozen food. There were only 5 small pieces and we still couldn't finish it. The drinks were priced fairly, but the snacks were overpriced for what it is. You order at a kiosk so there isn't much service to talk about, but we did have to ask for a ketchup a few times before they remembered to bring it to us. Maybe I'll go back to try the actual food dishes.
