    Premium Jasmine Matcha and White Champaca Matcha
    Tanya D.

    This was such a hyped-up place, so we had to come try it for ourselves. There was a long line, but drinks were coming out quickly, and the process was very efficient. The only downside was that the service felt a bit unfriendly. It could simply be because they were extremely busy, but the interaction felt a little rushed and short. We We ordered the Velvety Matcha Champaca and Premium Jasmine Milk Tea. The matcha was just okay -- nothing particularly impressive or memorable. The jasmine milk tea had a nice fragrance from the tea leaves and you could tell they used quality tea and brewed it properly, but the flavor was unfortunately very watered down. Overall, I appreciate the quality of the tea ingredients and the efficient operation, but the drinks didn't quite live up to the hype for me.

    I've visited here twice including on a Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. Both times fairly busy but I got my order within about 5 minutes! ORDER Premium Jasmine Milk Tea Peach Oolong Milk Tea STARS (stand out qualities) -Drink (5/5 stars) - very good quality tea and milk ; great ratio of both -Service (4/5 stars) - fast and effective -Ambiance (4/5 stars) - just big enough to buy drinks and there small area of merchandise if anyone is interested STAIRS (areas of growth) -For a first timer, it feels a bit overwhelming and I recommend simplifying or improving the flow of the signs TIPS -Signs recommend 70% sweetness since there drinks are not very sweet -Watch out for strong tea contents if you are sensitive to caffeine -You can order from two kiosk inside the store and QR code displayed on sign outside -Sign up for Molly Tea app to access discounts

    I'm obsessed! It's hard to find a boba shop that stand out from the overwhelming options. Molly Tea blew my mind as the jasmine tea which is often subdued, came through even with matcha. The drink I got was creamy, fragrant, and perfectly matcha balanced! Found a new favorite drink and so glad I tried this location. It was so easy to order. Recommend: Matcha White Champaca salted cheese

    The line is not nearly as long as it used to be but this location still has great business. You can order at 2 kiosks or online and you just pick up your drink there. No indoor seating but they do have outdoor seating scattered everywhere along the closed off street. I used to LOVE Molly tea but I think my body can't take all the sugar and milk anymore. I would either decrease sweetness or opt for their more natural teas.

    Always a super long line here! This time didn't go too well for me. Jasmine flavor was not as strong as before. I usually never order ice but I did this time since it was so hot. However, less ice did not mean less ice.

    Ordered a Gardenia green milk tea... tastes just the way gardenia smells. I liked it, but my spouse said it tasted like "sucking on a gardenia" (a bit too floral). I usually order the Jasmine green milk tea and also enjoy the floral notes, so it's likely a matter of taste. My spouse ordered a Tongmu Lapsang milk tea, which was a smooth black tea. A bit pricey but you can tell the tea is good quality. Service was quick and drinks can even be ordered ahead online through chowbus. It's right on the San Mateo blocked off strip (keep in mind you will have to walk to get here as you cannot drive right up), so while there's no indoor seating, there is public seating outdoors.

    Molly Tea San Mateo on 153 South B Street
    Melanie C.

    Food: 3.0 | Service: 3.5 | Ambiance: 4.0 MOLLY TEA SAN MATEO on B Street was founded in Shenzhen, China in 2021, focuses specifically on the quality, aroma, and bouquet of premium Jasmine teas. MT entered the U.S. market via a flagship store in Flushing, New York. Migrating across the U.S., and trekking locally from Cupertino. The floral fragrances and notes are similar to what you'd discern in fine wines. The San Mateo site is small, but seemingly operationally efficient, decor light, bright and minimalist modern so popular and welcoming. Walk in and orders are taken via three kiosks. Advance orders can be done on their website online. Plenty of staff behind the scenes processing the orders but not much direct face to face help will happen. Including deciphering their Jasmine tea levels. They seem to have quite a few sets of buttons or pins displayed along the walls that MT fans collect. After ordering milk tea, most congregate outside checking the Orders Board (Ready, In-Progress) until it's time to pick up the order. Tried the TONGMU LAPSANG MILK TEA, no sugar, regular ice, added Crystal Boba. The black tea from Wuyi Mountain, Fujian province, exudes a gentle, almost perfumed fragrance but I'm afraid the elegance of it was lost on me. I enjoy the ubiquitous HK Milk Tea that started it all for me, adding Boba and ice much later. And the really Western part of me savors a bold Earl Grey Milk Tea wherever and whenever I can find it. Feat not, MOLLY TEA is a huge success since it opened a few months ago. With crowds waiting outside for their orders everyday. Give it a try. The masses cannot be wrong...

    Been to this location a few times and always got the premium Jasmine Milk Tea and it's DELICIOUS. If I can give this place a 4.5 stars I would. The only reason why I'm only docking a star off is because the entrance/doorway is always so crowded and it can be confusing as to who is waiting to order via the kiosk or the ones who are waiting to pick up their order, and going in and out the door. Feels like it's a safety hazard with all of the crowds. You order on the kiosk and enter in your phone number and it will give you a number to pick up. While you wait you can see the number on the screen that your drink is ready. Besides the crowd, the drink itself is VERY good. It is so light and not sweet at all. I've always finished the drink in less than 30 minutes and always want more haha. I love that the caffeine has not kept me up (which is great). I wish they would have MORE locations all around! It's my most favorite tea place ever!

    100% sweet was not sweet. I heard a lot of good things about this place but all the drinks we got weren't good at all. Maybe they forgot to add sweetener in the milk tea. Not sure if I'll go back but maybe considering trying a different location.

    Pecan (Buy One Get One Free) except it's not and they're expired
    Alexis W.

    I've been to this Molly Tea location many times, and it's usually been very consistent. I've always left satisfied, which is why this most recent visit was so disappointing. Their menu advertised a buy one, get one free promotion on the pecan topping, so I ordered two, expecting to receive four toppings total. When I picked up my order, I was told they weren't honoring the promotion, so I only received the two toppings that I paid for. It wasn't a huge amount of money, but it was frustrating because the promotion was still being advertised. It felt more like a matter of principle than the $2. To make matters worse, the date printed on the pecan topping package was 01/15/2026. Even if that wasn't the expiration date and was instead the manufacturing date, the package states that the shelf life is six months, which would still make it expired. That was pretty concerning. We also ordered the Snowy Jasmine and the Matcha White Champaca. Unfortunately, neither drink tasted like they normally do. Both were noticeably off compared to previous visits. That said, this is still one of my favorite tea shops. I'm hoping this was just an off day because I'll definitely continue coming back. I just hope they pay closer attention to promotions and product quality.

    Jasmine apple milk

    First time here. Jasmine apple milk with white pearls was nice. Service was a kiosk machine. server just called out number and I picked up. Standard boba shop. Menu had a lot of options I had not seen before. Worth a second visit.

    Pearl R.

    I got the jasmine apple milk tea with white boba and it was a little bitter and the boba isn't the typical boba texture so it threw me off a little bit. But I really like the champaca milk tea a lot. I'm glad the cue is a lot better now but it does get busy

    long lines, even on a weekday
    Andrew C.

    The big trick is to order ahead via the food delivery apps if you want to avoid the wait. The good news is even if you don't order ahead, the orders go by fairly quickly. Stopped by on a weekday afternoon and the wait was pretty long, but they took orders fairly quickly and all in probably took about 15-20 minutes. The tea is definitely strong and flavorful and they didn't have any boba/bubbles at the time. As far as tea quality goes, this place has some high quality tea, but also lacks the variety of sugary drinks that you might find at other boba shops. Part of their schtick is also the fact that you sip from extremely thin straws, like coffee stirrers. Overall, the staff was nice and they were able to get drinks out quickly. Just expect to wait a bit and also pay a higher price for just tea.

    Definitely a fun and VAST variety of Taiwan fresh brew tea experience! Clean, airy, happy space…read morethat has both self order kiosks. If you don't know what to pick or want recs don't be afraid to walk up and speak to one of the kind folks working the front cashier. Super organized, screen scares where you are in the cue and a steady pace of of people coming through and a few seating spots that you can hang out while you're enjoying your drink. They even have some games like Uno, Cards against Humanity and chess etc to play amongst friends/family. Came once before with my daughter that she insisted we come back before the end of summer and make sure we had her little brother with us this time (awww). So if you're into this tea and boba and more scene, stop by when you're in the Serramonte area. Prices are fair for what it is, ranges between $7.95-$9.95 depending on how many extras you want to include. Sweetness options go from perfect, light, to none and Ice options go from regular, light, none, or hot! Also just one size. They are in the strip mall where Sprouts and Sketcher's are.... Parking is plenty and time getting your drink is reasonable and worth the wait even if it seems crowded inside.

    They serve high quality tea here. I would pay a higher price in exchange for premium product…read more They even offer complimentary tea tasting on selected days and time of the week. I also liked this place- very clean.
