QQ Milk Tea (Hot) $7
Rita A.

+ Food: I got the QQ Milk Tea (Hot) with 10% sugar and Boba & Coconut jelly. The sweetness level was just right, and the tea was flavorful. + Service: I ordered at the terminal and received my drink in less than 5 minutes. Fast and efficient. + Ambiance: The Eat Up food court had plenty of dining choices and available seating on a Friday around 3PM. Looking forward to going again to try other drinks on the menu!

Mango & Orange Li-Li Tea (Summer) (Iced) Chi-Chi Strawberry Smoothie (Iced)
Anthony N.

I got a mango and orange lili tea drink. It was light on the flavor but still very refreshing. The orange flavor was light but because of the pieces of mango, it tasted ok. My friend got a strawberry chichi smoothie. She liked the cream and said the strawberry flavor was good.

Recently tried the ESSJ location so wanted to see how it compared to the Cupertino location. This location is located inside the food court next to ranch 99. There was about 3 parties ahead of me and my order took 15 min for 1 drink. I got the golden leaf tea with lychee jelly at 30% sugar. The tea is very light and pretty watered down. The sugar level was definitely better than the ESSJ location(other location was way too sweet). I wasn't a fan how the lychee jelly tasted heavily of pineapple and since the tea flavor was weak, the drink tasted like a faint pineapple juice.

King of mango smoothie

This tea place is located inside a food court right next to the 99 ranch, so location is great! They are right by the entrance, so you can't miss it! I saw the sign of the King of Mango Smoothie while I was waiting for my Taiwainese Fried Chicken steak next door, so I figured, why not? I was not 100% sold as I was hoping for more of a mango sago flavor drink. The drink comes with coconut milk, tea jelly, and fresh mango chunks. I will probably try something else next time if I'm in the neighborhood.

I am in love with this boba shop. Every drink is consistent and is made with quality ingredients. It's the very first stall you see inside of this Ranch 99 food court. With 100+ locations in Taiwan, you know it's the real deal. My favorite drink here is the King of Mango Smoothie, which is made with REAL MANGOS and packed with tons of toppings: tea jelly, pomelo pulp, and coconut cream. The combination is refreshing, creamy, and decadent. You also can't go wrong with the Tie Guan Yin Oolong Milk Tea. Dare I say... it's one of the best I've had! The tea is fragrant and doesn't have too much milk. Sooooo good. 50% sugar was perfect for me.

King of mango smoothie
Sirina L.

Recommend the king of mango smoothie if you like a mango dessert drink. It is on the pricier side but it's a good treat your self kind of drink. It's more of a dessert drink that a drink drink. Lots of toppings inside and the mango flavor is real (not artificial) Lots of sitting inside alongside a lot of other food court food. Good location to get multiple kinds of food at once

CHI CHI GRAPE
Tiffany L.

Im surprised they even got to America lol. Just discovered this store in Taiwan when I went back in 2023. They're known for the fresh fruits drinks, all fruit drinks are made with real fruits. The grape, mango and strawberry are my favs. Very filling dessert. Personally love their cream. Too bad a lot of ppl just sees them as another boba store (which idk if their teas are worth getting) but will stay for the smoothies

Let's try this!

Found another decent Boba Tea Place! Reasonable price, good tea taste, and soft bobas. I tried their Peach Black Tea and it was a refreshing tea drink. You can taste a good amount of black tea and the sweet peach flavor. I went for light sweet medium ice and it's just enough sweetness. The kiosk looks neat and vibrant, located inside EatUp food court right beside Ranch99 Market. There are tables and chairs available. They have a lot of other flavors. I also ordered their regular boba milk tea and it's good too. Price point is around $6 - $7 per drink.

Milk tea with agar boba
Jodi H.

I was stoked when I saw Taiwanese-originated MACU was coming to the Ranch 99 Cupertino plaza. But my excitement died down quickly. MACU Taiwan's seasonal strawberry slush boba drink was my go-to drink when I visited Taiwan earlier in winter this year. It was so good that I couldn't stop thinking about it and was hoping they would have that in the Norcal MACU store (which they didn't). Their menu was pretty different from the Taiwanese version, but they have the basics like milk teas, fruit teas ("LiLi" series), salted cheese ("ChiChi") and specialty drinks like their "King of the Mango" smoothie (seemed like too many textural toppings for my taste) We went on a weekday 30mins within opening, and they had NO boba ready. The bobarista working the cashier stated that the boba was sold out. I feel like logistics need to be ironed out. How can you not have boba ready when you open? If you see other popular boba spots up here, they have their bobaristas FLYING through the orders and the toppings prepped well before they open. They also only had two people working, so that just shows you that their demand and hiring process is still slow. We went with their agar boba instead (the translucent ones), which were QQ but still would've hit different with their brown sugar boba. Their regular boba milk tea was aite, I mean 0% sugar is pretty standard across all other boba joints...and the agar boba was chewy. But if I wanted a standard milk tea, I would go to my fave TpTea for their delicious and aromatic teas. I wouldn't try MACU again, not within the first year while they figure things out. I was kind of disappointed, but I should have known that nothing will top boba straight from the Motherland. Good luck to MACU, especially since most stores in that plaza always end up failing.

Balls in your mouff. When it comes to balls, Cupertino's ball came is strong... Boba balls that is. Cupertino is a hub for Taiwanese food and boba shops so it's no surprise that Macu Tea opened one of their first US locations here (they also opened a location in E SJ the same week). T H E B R A N D In 2008, Macu Tea was established in Taiwan and currently has over 330 locations. Their specialty is Fresh Fruit Teas and Drinking Desserts (smoothies w/ various toppings). L O C A T I O N Inside 99 Ranch's Eat Up Food Court. Right when you enter the food court, Macu Tea is to your left (replaced Vampire Penguin). O R D E R I N G For now, in-person ordering only via one cashier. M E N U Series: Li-Li (fresh fruit), Chi-Chi (salty cheese foam), Fresh Milk (tea lattes), Milk Teas, Macu Specials (yakult, wintermelon, lemonade), Drinking Desserts (smoothies, tiramisu). Prices: $5.25-$7.50 Sugar: 0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, 80%, 100% Toppings: Boba, coconut jelly, green tea jelly, agar boba, etc. (-) Menu doesn't specify what toppings are in some of the drinks. Ex: Strawberry smoothie incudes tea jelly and salty cheese foam. (-) Some drinks have fixed sweetness + toppings that can't be adjusted. I understand fixed sweetness but they *add* toppings when your drink is being made. Not being able to opt out of them is a deal breaker for me. D R I N K S * Chi-Chi Golden Leaf Tea, 30% sweet ($6): https://tinyurl.com/3ta3db4r I wanted to order their Signature King of Mango Smoothie but it's fixed sweetness and you can't opt out of toppings so I went with something more basic. The Chi-Chi Golden Leaf Tea (oolong) had weak tea flavor, lowkey tasted like a watered down chrysanthemum tea. The salty cheese foam was airy and creamy with a nice saltiness but IMO, there wasn't enough of it. * Mango & Orange Li-Li Tea, 30% sweet ($6.75) My friend didn't care for it and when I took a sip, I knew why. It was way too sweet, tasted like 100%+ sweet...juice. Couldn't taste the tea that would otherwise cut through the sweetness. S E R V I C E Cordial. Poor cashier seemed very overwhelmed. After paying, you're given a pager. With 3 people ahead of us in line and 3 staff preparing drinks, it took about 15-18 minutes for our order. A M B I A N C E Modern food court with shared seating. P A R K I N G Busy parking lot during peak hours. Overall, maybe it's a matter of opening kinks, personal preferences, or we choose wrong but Macu Tea's drinks are not my jam (I like strong tea flavor). I'm obvs in the minority. But, with all the stiff competition in the area, 3 stars is fair.

Wintermelon tea with fresh milk.
Ang V.

Located inside the food court plaza right next to Ranch 99. The employee told me they've been opened since November so fairly new. The workers are super friendly and let me sample some teas which I appreciate because I'm really picky with my milk teas. They're either too bitter or not sweet enough. The worker let me try a peach tea and an oolong tea. Both weren't to my liking so I got a wintermelon with fresh milk and it was so refreshing! Just right and perfect flavor. Their cups with the Peanuts collab is also cute! I think they use real fruit for their smoothies so I can't wait to go back and try those next time!

Fresh Taro milk and Bo Bo (clear boba)
Christine L.

The marketing posters for the tarp milk got me!! This is inside a food court by Ranch 99 where there are other Asian food options. Ambiance is just generic cafeteria style with lots of seating available and I've never seen the place too busy. Loved my taro drink! Pleasantly surprised you can really taste the fresh taro and I like that it isn't too chunky! I got light ice but they crush the ice and it's sort of blended into the drink so I'll probably get medium ice next time because I would like the cold to last longer as I drink slow. I asked for less sweet but the man mentioned it is a set sweetness but isn't too much anyway. He was right and the drink was perfect! $7 ish for fresh taro milk drink but the quality tasted very high and there was the perfect amount of Bo Bos (their name for Crystal or clear agar agar boba. Definitely would get this again and willing to try other drinks!

Joanne H.

Seeking your mango fix this summer? Soft opening of Macu Tea right next to 99 ranch in the new food courts Service: prompt but you do have to order through a human, note their specialty drinks are fixed sweetness ice and everything! You get a little number tag that vibrates when your drink is ready. Good vibes, lots of orange drinks. Will be curious to see if their bubble tea is good, will try next time. They have a cool machine that auto shakes the drinks!

I've tried a few of their avocado drinks, and I have to say, they're super addictive. The Avocado Chia and Super Avocado were both delicious, reminding me of a creamy, sweet avocado yogurt smoothie. The oat popping boba is a nice alternative to regular boba and adds a great texture to the drink. I say it's a must add to your drink, trust me you won't regret it. I'd skip the Strawberry Dafuqin, though. It reminded me of strawberry milk with a bunch of toppings, and I didn't get much of the oolong tea flavor. My only complaints are the wait time and parking. They get tons of online orders, so drinks can take a while to prepare. Plan accordingly if you're stopping by! The plaza is also small, so parking can be a challenge. There are about 5-6 tables for dine-in, and you order through a kiosk, so there isn't much to say about the service. Overall, I hope they open another location closer to or in San Francisco!

Given their notoriety for fruit drinks, I went for one of their grape smoothies with jelly for a topping. They don't offer traditional boba here but other similar toppings are available. The smoothie I had was very good I must say. I could taste the fresh fruits blended with just a hint of sweetness. None of it felt overpowering and was really refreshing for a hot day. We did have to wait maybe 15 minutes for our drinks due to so many online orders but I've had worse wait times. The parking lot is small but we were lucky to find a spot rather quickly when we went on an early weekday evening.

It might not be everyone's favorite, especially among younger customers, but I personally love it. I always order mine with no sugar and no ice. It's incredibly refreshing and perfect after a meal.

Highly recommended, especially if you prefer something light and refreshing!

Once I mentioned that I had purchased three drinks but didn't receive the advertised free drink, the cashier said she would check with who appeared to be the owner/manager. She asked, and the response was immediately no. The cashier then came back and simply told us, "Unfortunately, it's not possible." What bothered me wasn't even the price of the drink--it was the way the situation was handled. If a promotion is being prominently advertised inside the store, customers shouldn't be expected to know that it won't automatically apply when ordering through the store's own self-service screen. I had clearly purchased more than the two drinks required for the promotion, and there was no attempt to explain what went wrong or offer any kind of solution. I like led this place but this experience was disappointing and could have been handled with much better customer service. So disappointed!
