They have plenty of outdoor seating at their front patio, which is perfect since we had our pups with us. Service was friendly and our drinks were ready in a timely manner despite it being busy. I ordered the Iced Aztec Mocha and it was alright, nothing special, but provided the coffee fix I needed. Overall, this is a decent spot if you're looking for a local coffee shop in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but if I find myself in Saratoga area, I'll consider them as a possible option.

This is a good ice cream parlor. I believe it's Mediterranean (or something like that) and it was fantastic. I've never had this type of ice cream before, but now I am a fan. I could eat coffee ice cream every day for the rest of my life, but I shouldn't. This ice cream was rich, creamy with an exotic flavor to it that I can't quite describe skillfully. However, it was fantastic. I am definitely remembering it the next time I'm in Saratoga. Now for the pics.

My brother LOVES this place, but I'm not a fan of coconut so take this review with a grain of salt…read more I thought the pudding was very silky and smooth, but the coconut flavor was just so strong, I didn't like it. But if you like coconut, this place will be heaven for you like it is for my brother. I got the mango river the most recent time I went with him because it's their only thing without coconut pudding. I think their mango wasn't fresh at that time because the color was so murky :/ but the taste was alright. It was really sweet though, and I wish it was less sweet. Interior was very spacious, lots of seating, and clean!

It was also my partner's first time trying durian (so fun to get a front-row seat to his first encounter)! The verdict? As expected, the durian cake was rich and custardy and funky and absolutely delicious. I'm also rly glad they didn't add extra sugar bc durian brings plenty of natural sweetness on its own. Proud to report that he passed the vibe check with flying colors :)

It's also great for sharing a few different flavors with friends. On this visit, I ordered the Strawberry Mango Snow with extra condensed milk. Both were refreshing, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The fruit tasted fresh, and the extra condensed milk added the perfect amount of richness to every bite. Ordering was quick and convenient through the self-service kiosk, and our desserts were ready within just a few minutes. The process was smooth and efficient, making it an easy place to stop by for a quick treat. Another thing I appreciated was the spacious seating area. There was plenty of room to sit and chat, making it a great spot to catch up with friends over dessert. The toppings on the snow dessert were generous and complemented the shaved ice perfectly. Overall, if you're looking for a lighter, more manageable portion of bingsoo that still delivers on flavor, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. The desserts are delicious, the service is quick, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy something sweet.

It is located next to the grocery store Nobhill and there are quick 20min parking in front of the store. We were greeted right when we entered the door and looked at the delicious treats to eat. There is the main seating area and another area in the back to sit down along with sitting outside. It felt upscale and nice. The sign in front of the store had some drink specials and I got a strawberry/matcha drink I think it was called Rose. I asked what was good here and the cashier said the mini almond pastries and other treats in the front. The mini almond pastry was really good and also got a crème brûlée which was really good as well. I would come back again and try their hot teas next time. Delicious treats. Good upscale vice a nice place to catch up with friends!!!

I recently came here for Boba Smoothies and I was shocked how many people were already here as soon…read moreas the shop opened up. We read reviews ahead of time and saw it was recommended to order online and come and pick up andi felt like this was a MUST DO, if you didn't want to be waiting all morning. I came to pick up my drinks about 25 min after opening and their running count for drinks made that day was already nearing 100. We tried the strawberry avocado smoothie and the mango avocado smoothie and both were great! I would recommend getting the mango if you had to choose between the two. We got 30% sugar (recommended) and I would say that was perfect! We added the oat pearls, and they were good. Different than the typical boba. I may prefer the other kind of boba, but my husband liked the oat boba better. I would love if they had both options to choose between and would love a few more non caffeinated options. Those are my two recommendations for change. We will be back!

I recently noticed that Shu Shia, a new drink shop in San Jose, has been getting a lot of…read moreattention, so I decided to stop by and give it a try. It's quite different from a typical boba shop, focusing more on fruit-based and creative specialty drinks, with several unique combinations that you don't see very often. This visit, I ordered the Avocado Snow Ice drink, the signature milk tea, and a durian drink. The avocado drink was probably the biggest surprise of the day. It tasted like real avocado rather than artificial flavoring, with a rich and creamy texture. The grains and seeds at the bottom added an interesting layer of texture, making it feel more like a dessert than a drink. The signature milk tea had a noticeable tea flavor and wasn't overly sweet, making it easy to enjoy. As for the durian drink, it delivered exactly what durian lovers would hope for--strong aroma, rich flavor, and a texture similar to a durian milkshake. The packaging also deserves a mention. The designs are distinctive and eye-catching, giving the brand a unique identity and making the drinks great for photos as well. Prices are a bit higher than your average boba shop, but the quality of ingredients and creativity behind the menu make it feel justified. After trying boba and tea shops for years, it's refreshing to find a place that offers something genuinely different. Not every drink will be everyone's favorite, but the menu is memorable enough to make you want to come back and explore more. Overall, a solid first visit, and I'll definitely be back to try some of their other specialties.
