I've been having a craving for a Jasmine milk tea for a few days and spotted Snow Boba at 6029…read moreSnell, San Jose, while I was waiting for a while roast duck to bake next door at the Hing Kee Dimsum & BBaq, 6033 Snell, San Jose. You definitely need to get your milk tea cravings here if you're located in the area. It's over the road bridge from Blossom Hill on Snell. The Snow Boba offers my favorite Marianne's ice cream, in wonderful flavors that you wouldn't find anywhere else. This beats going up to Santa Cruz to get your Marianne's ice cream fix! There is plenty of parking and the boba staff are nice and friendly. I will definitely need to come here when I am craving a milk tea.

Sweet Retreat has always been one of my favorite spots to grab ice cream, and no kidding, it never…read moredisappoints! The ice cream tasted great, and one thing I really appreciate is how many flavors and options they have to choose from. There's such a nice variety that it can honestly be hard to decide what to get! Whether you're looking for something simple or want to try a different flavor, there's plenty to choose from. The service was also wonderful! The staff were friendly, welcoming, and nice throughout my visit, which made the experience even better. The ambience was great as well. It had a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere where you could enjoy your ice cream and spend some time relaxing. The only thing I would point out is the pricing. Ice cream has definitely gotten more expensive nowadays, and even just one scoop of ice cream costs about the same as an entire Starbucks drink! I personally find that a little pricey, especially when you're only getting a single scoop. However, the ice cream tasted so good that I still think it was worth the price. It's definitely something I wouldn't mind treating myself to every once in a while. Sweet Retreat continues to be one of my favorite ice cream spots. Between the delicious ice cream, the many flavors to choose from, friendly service, and enjoyable atmosphere, I had a great experience. I just wish the prices were a little more affordable, especially for a single scoop. Regardless, I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving something sweet!

This was a delicious spot! There plenty of parking in the lot and some chairs outside…read more The shop had lots of different flavors and certain flavors that can be taken to go. The scoops are huge! I really loved the pistachio and strawberry shortcake.

I was really disappointed with my experience. Charging customers extra just for a box to put the…read moremochi donuts in feels unreasonable. A box should be included with the purchase, especially when it's needed to carry the donuts safely. It's a small thing, but it leaves a bad impression and makes it seem like the business is nickel-and-diming customers. I hope they reconsider this policy. Not coming back on this

Stopped in at Mochinut for a snack while we were at the mall Christmas shopping…read more Service was good and we went with the 3 mochinut special. We chose three flavors being the mango ube and strawberry. They were delicious and rich in flavor so we gad to pace ourselves sharing one between the both of us.

I was walking around Vietnam Town and stumbled upon Stickhouse inside the R&B Tea's food court. I…read morewas very surprised that the previous store closed down and was replaced with gelato and gelato bars! It reminds me of Pop Bar that used to be in San Jose and I miss it so much. Stickhouse has a lot of really good flavors including coconut, taro, durian, strawberry, mango, chocolate, and I got to sample a good number of them. I settled on strawberry and mango gelato which were both very refreshing. Two scoops for only $8 is such a great deal. The other day, I also had a pistachio gelato bar with a strawberry coating with chocolate and other toppings. It was absolutely delicious. It's on the pricier side for the gelato bar at $7.50 but I don't mind because I absolutely love frozen treats. I love how they have pre-decorated gelato bars and fruit bars and they are absolutely beautiful. The staff is very nice and if you ever see a staff member not working there, you can always ask anybody at R&B Tea and they are happy to help as well. I believe the owner owns all three of the food establishments inside the food court. I cannot wait to come back and I found my new favorite gelato shop in Vietnam Town! By the way, Stickhouse is a very well-known gelato shop from Italy and they have many locations around the world. Super yum!

This review is about Eva, the lovely store manager. She greets us with a warm smile every time…read more She's friendly and knowledgeable, goes above and beyond to service her customers. It's very rare to find people who are super cognizant of dietary restrictions but Eva takes it to the next level. She noticed we were ordering drinks without dairy so she let us know when we added a foam that had dairy in it. This was so appreciated because my daughter has an allergy where she breaks out in painful rashes when she has even a small amount of dairy. Then on a different visit weeks later she noticed again we had ordered a beverage that contained a pumpkin foam and so she let us know it had dairy in it. Then she worked with us to create an alternate drink without any dairy. Most people just make whatever drink you order without question and often even when we emphasize our allergy, things get overlooked. It can be difficult to navigate when eating out but people like Eva make it so much more enjoyable.

New weekend, so I tried another boba place! This one is in a busy complex off Almaden Expressway,…read morewith lots of competing businesses (including an Ume tea two doors down that I'll have to check out in the future). This is one of those complexes that has a large parking lot, but I feel like everyone drives too aggressively. Easy enough to find parking. When I walked in, I was greeted in a friendly manner, which is not always something that happens in tea shops. I ordered the lychee tea with lychee, and got it at half sweetness, and it was perfectly refreshing. Drinks are made quickly and efficiently. They do have a bit of space if you want to sit and drink, but it is not really a spot where I could see someone socializing or studying.

This place is such a treat! The inside is so fun, there's foosball tables and other games…read moreeverywhere, and the vibe is so fun. The boba is great, and so are the smoothies; i recommend the Rainbow Smoothie, Taro Milk Tea, and the Passion Fruit tea (the last two with honey boba). It's fun to grab a drink and snacks and eat while hanging out! The service is super quick and this place usually isn't busy. The best part is they have a reward system (u get points for each drink, and you can cash points in for stuffies etc). Totally recommend this hidden gem

My quest of trying all of the local boba spots brought me to Jasmine Kocha. This is in a busy…read morecomplex, and I love the Bagel Basket just next door, so I hadn't tried this location yet. (I do love Bagel Basket's Vietnamese coffee, so I usually get that if I want a caffeinated drink in the area.) Jasmine Kocha has an interesting menu of fruit teas and milk teas. Unlike most places, you order from a person not a tablet. The person I ordered from was a little brusque, but my drink came out quickly. I got the red moonshine with only 50% sweetness, and it was very refreshing and not sweet at all. They have some foosball tables and nice couches inside. The decor looks comfortable.

Absolutely love this place! I come here every week to get their fresh donuts and smoothies. I…read moreespecially love their new mochi beignets! Everything always tastes so fresh and yummy. There's an Asian girl who has been working here for a while and I always see her on the weekends. I forgot what her name was but I asked her the last time I came in. Anytime I have a customization or a question about my drink she is always the sweetest and so helpful. She always has a smile on her face and makes sure my drink is exactly how I like it. The place also has such a fun vibe with good music and lots of people talking and enjoying themselves. Definitely one of my favorite spots!
