Great flavor, good price, nice setting, friendly staff. I had driven by MoonTea several times and I saw the sign from the road and I have to admit, just the sign and the name intrigued me. I love the moon. I finally got to try MoonTea when I was out in the 'vale this past weekend. My lady and I walked in and checked out the menu. This was the first time I saw a milk tea menu that listed the tea strengths for each drink, that's really cool. After studying the menu for a bit, one of the guys at the counter asked me if we needed any help. Nice of him. We were wondering about the stinky tofu, since some stinky tofus are weak sauce. He said it was average. I also asked what was their most roasty tea, he wasn't sure, but he and his colleagues suggested the da hong pao. The da hong pao is one that is listed as having a strong tea flavor, which I love, so many places barely have tea flavor! So I took his suggestion, and ordered it at their recommended sweetness and ice, non-dairy. While we waited I enjoyed and grooved too the music they played. As I drove home, I tasted the tea, and it's definitely the best milk tea I have had in a while! For the price it was great value and I was amazed it lasted so long; even after the ice melted it was still delicious. This was worth the wait. Also the stinky tofu was tasty, I would get it again. read more

Tried a few different drinks here to see what they hype is about as I always see a lot of people here when driving by since it's near busy intersection. It's a bit of a mixed bag depending on what you get. The lychee milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice was a 6.5 because you can barely taste the lychee, it was very faint and just tasted like a regular milk tea. The da hong pao milk tea with 25% sugar and less ice was also a 6.5 since it had a really strong herbal taste that I wasn't a huge fan of. The best one was definitely the ceylon cheese milk tea at 25% sugar. It was way more creamy and rich than the others so I'd give that a 6.9. read more

I've been to the MoonTea in Cupertino a lot and finally made my way to the Sunnyvale location. It has a parking lot so hopefully parking is not too difficult. There is no seating inside so you mostly grab and go here. I rotate through a variety of teas here and haven't really been disappointed. The jasmine teas aren't as strong as Molly Tea but still solid. I usually get Jasmine, Dan Cong, and Gardenia. I think the teas are a tad bit milky but I like it. I don't get toppings at MoonTea! read more

On my endless NorCal journey to sample as many boba chains that exist there and not in SoCal, my next stop was MoonTea. MoonTea is a franchise specializing in traditional Hunan flavors. I saw the art on the cups, the way it's set up, and the tiny 3 flute straw things and I knew this was gonna be in the same leagues as Chahalo, Chagee, or Molly tea, and IT IS. Love the fragrant, strongly flavored milk teas from Chinese franchises. They slap in a way that other places simply do not. They have order kiosks right when you enter or what I notice is that a lot of people order for pick up and there's a pick up shelf ready for you. I guess they have a place for free umbrellas for rainy days and you can use it and then return it later (sadly no way any one would really do this or would it work in the society that we live in but it's a kind gesture). There's some outdoor seating and plenty of parking in the structure it's attached to. Color theming with the white, blue and red is nice and refreshing since it's not super American looking haha. You can see the tea leaves that they use there too. There's a separate pick up for food and the art for their cups is quite nice and aesthetically pleasing. Perfect for pictures. For our order, we got the: 1) Sea Salt Green Milk tea: -My boyfriend got his drink at 0% sweetness as he usually does. -It's their premium green tea mixed with a hint of sea salt. Salted milk teas are on the rise in trendiness and popularity since I've seen it being offered at a lot of these Chinese franchises. Glad it's catching on since it's a nice mix of subtly sweet and salty flavor. 2) Gardenia Milk Tea With Fresh Pomelo Pulp: -This is a gardenia tea blended with milk and fresh pomelo pulp. -I got this less ice and at the recommended 50% sweetness. -This was the most unique sounding drink on the menu at a glance, so I ordered it immediately. You don't usually see milk drinks mixed with actual real citrus fruit (acid and base mixes can cause curdling, but this wasn't the case!). -Delicious mix of flavors from the subtle floral gardenias, milk tea, and the slight tartness and popping juice texture of the pomelo. A must try at least once. 3) Spicy Fried Sausage: -It's a skewer of Chinese sausage. -Super seasoned with the spices and cumin and such. It actually has quite a spicy kick to it, so if you're sensitive to spicy foods, this may not be for you (I'm talking about not being able to handle Hot Cheetos level). -Delicious but a bit messy, I'd get this again. Would definitely stop by here again. Or better yet, open one of these in SoCal in the 626. read more

If you're a fan of floral tea like molly tea, you'll need to try moontea. I'll preface this review with the fact that I get 0% sugar for all my drinks so tea flavor, milk quality, and freshness will be most important to me (less so how flavors blend). That's why I can say MoonTea has higher quality floral tea than most other options in the bay area. They also offer season drinks with fun toppings like glutinous rice, pomelo, etc. My favorite drink is the jasmine milk tea! This parking situation is okay. There's parking in the garage and next to it. Make sure to read the signs before parking. read more

I went after work and got their lychee milk tea and Xiangxi hot and sour rice noodles. There was only outdoor seatings and it's pretty spacious inside. The service was fast and I got my order about 5-10 minutes after ordering at the kiosk. The noodles was ok, I chose regular spicy and vinegar but I think I can do extra. It's spicy but not too bad and there's a subtle sour taste. There's also minced meat on top. The lychee milk tea was decent and has a strong lychee flavor. read more

Throughly enjoyed the tea here at Moon Tea. If you follow their sweetness recommendations you are able to taste the tea flavor well with whatever other pairing. I got the peach oolong and was impressed that both flavors were not overpowering each other and complemented well. Even while it was busy, it did not take long for the team members to serve the drinks. They also have a nice outdoor seating area. No indoor seating here so this place is better for a takeout or nice seat in their outdoor seating area. Also be careful about parking at peak times, parking lot is fairly small. Would come back though to try more menu items! read more

I ordered the jasmine milk tea, and the flavor was very similar to Molly Tea--fragrant, smooth, and super refreshing. What really blew my mind, though, was the stinky tofu. It tasted just like what I had in China--authentic and full of flavor. The tofu was perfectly crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with a serious level of spice, so definitely something to watch out for if you're not great with spicy food. They even added Korean pickles on top, which was unexpected but such a crunchy, delicious combo. The staff were friendly, and the store itself was very clean and welcoming. Would definitely come back! read more

Tried MoonTea for the first time and got the Jasmine Milk Tea ($6.25) and Peach Oolong Milk Tea ($5.95). In comparison to many other tea shops in the South Bay, MoonTea is very reasonably priced. Both drinks had really nice strong tea taste but the Jasmine Milk Tea was my favorite and the one that I will come back for. The Jasmine Milk Tea had a distinct floral taste and was perfect at 70% sweet. The drinks come in super aesthetic cups and are so pretty I wanted to keep them even after finishing my drink haha. In all honesty, I think the Jasmine Milk Tea is comparable to Molly Tea's premium jasmine milk tea but MoonTea's parking is way better, the store itself is much less crowded, and there is barely any wait at this location. Service is fast and efficient - I got my drink within five minutes of ordering. The store itself is quite small with some outdoor seating available. read more

I am not much of a bubble tea aficionado, but I know my tea. As far as tea goes, I can attest that they use good tea, and its brewed right. Meaning, they know how to handle tea, and not boil it to death. The oolong was fragrant, good body, and with minimal tannins. Probably softened by the milk. Overall, a good balance between the 2. And or course, fast service and super cute cups. read more

When this location first opened there was a huge line out the door, and honestly it's very nice that they have a choice of lactose free option. (Not like the other competitor cough cough) I love all their tea flavors and the food is quite enjoyable as well. Will always come back. read more

So many new tea spots have arrived to the Bay Area! I really liked the jasmine tea with boba here, and the tea itself has a strong floral flavor. Like Molly Tea, there are options to add whipped cream to your drink, with nuts on top. The Da Hong Pao tea was ok, and the flavor wasn't as strong as the jasmine tea. The jasmine tea tastes very similar to HeyTea. read more

I came here per a recommendation from friend who LOVES the tea here. I ordered an Osmanthus Milk Tea and also a sausage to try since they had some unique snack options. As I was ordering, I was caught off guard that their standard milk option is whole milk while creamer is listed with an additional cost. Traditional Taiwanese milk tea is made with creamer and most places charge extra for whole milk since creamer is quite cheap. But since they had milk as default, I went with that. The tea flavor overall was not bad but the drink left me with an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach that I can't describe. I've never been lactose intolerant or had any issues with whole milk drinks at other locations, but since this place apparently uses a milk that's cheaper than creamer, I suspect it may have been that. Also, I didn't realize until after I left that I never even received my sausage! We were waiting for a while so by the time I received a text that my order was ready and they only handed me my drink, I had completely forgotten I ordered it Unfortunately my only experience here was not the best so I probably would not return again. But the shop design is cute, there's a decent amount of seating, and many people seem to love it so I would not stop anyone interested in giving this place a try! read more

When this place first opened, their drinks were so tasty. It was one of my favorite places to go with friends and now it still lives up to when it opened.

3-3.5 stars imo. MoonTea is another Milk Tea spot that popped up. The parking lot is tiny, so expect to park across the street and walk over. The store was set up so that you can order at the kiosk and pick up on the shelves by the side. There are some seats inside and outside. Tried the Da Hong Pao Milk Tea with 50% sweet. The flavor of the tea was really good, but I thought it was kinda too milky for my personal tastes. We also bought the Changsha Cold Noodles which were cold noodles with chili and I believe pork. The noodles were really tasty and the chili was delicious. Fair warning, this does get kind of spicy overtime! Overall, I'm willing to try this place again and try their other drinks. read more

I took a yoga class around the corner and noticed MoonTea. It was around 12pm on a Sunday when I stopped by. I didn't really know what to expect of the place, but it reminded me of a casino. Lots of lights and fonts and over stimulating signage. I ordered from the kiosk and was intrigued by the frappe whipped cream drinks. That said, I felt that there weren't many flavors that stood out for me, but I'm not the biggest tea expert either. I went with the frappe whipped peach tea, which appeared to be the safest. There wasn't anywhere to sit inside, so I stood around until I received my order. I got my order shortly after I placed it. Admittedly, I was not the biggest fan of my drink. My husband and father-in-law took some sips and didn't care much for it either. What threw me off were the nutty bits, which were such stark contrasts to the sweet creaminess of the rest of the drink. It was almost jarring to bite into them. I'll go as far as saying that MoonTea was not my cup of tea. read more

Service: self order Pickup and go spot Food: Sausage on skewer- flavorful and tasty, would get again Drinks: Sea Salt Jasmine Milk Tea (2/5)- tasted too milky for my liking Plum Four Seasons Lemon Tea (4/5)- refreshing Peach Oolong Milk Tea (3/5)- great peach flavor, but the tea isn't that strong. This place is good if you aren't into strong tea flavors. I personally think their milk teas are more on the milky side than tea side. read more

MoonTea - peach oolong milk tea w/ whipped cream 10/10 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

This place is located at the corner of what looks like an apartment complex. It was pretty clean inside. The menu was straightforward and offered some street food snacks. There's a kiosk upfront to order, I don't recall seeing a register, but I may be mistaken. I ordered the lychee milk tea and the peach oolong milk tea. The recommended sweetness level was 50% and I thought it was perfect. The fruit flavors were mellow and complimented the tea very well. read more

I got two of their most popular drinks: peach oolong milk tea frappe and osmanthus milk tea. The frappe is basically a bunch of whipped cream on top of the usual milk tea drink, which makes it taste more creamy. For the peach oolong milk tea frappe, I liked the hickory nuts that give the drink a smoky/savory crunch on top! But aside from that, I thought the drinks were too milky and floral and lacked the strong tea flavor that I prefer. The peach oolong milk tea probably had a better flavor than the osmanthus milk tea. Overall, it's a decent milk tea place that I'd rate 3.5 but with so many options in this area, this location doesn't quite stand out. read more

Another strong fragrant tea place! I love that we're getting more of these, instead of the super sweet fruity drinks. I was recommended this place by a friend and it did not disappoint! We got the peach oolong milk tea and the white champaca milk tea with whipped cream. Both came out super quickly and were very tasty! 75% is their recommended but I like 100%. We also decided to try their Changsha stinky tofu. It was very interesting since the color of the tofu was black. It wasn't too stinky or spicy, for someone like me who can't handle the spice. I really liked the tea and will definitely be back soon to try another flavor! read more

I got the grape white champaca milk tea and it was one of the best milk tea's I've had. The tea flavor really shines through.

We came here on a Sunday late afternoon. There was no line and we were able to order at the kiosk and get our drinks and food relatively quickly. The inside had limited seating and was aesthetic. I ordered: - Plum Four Seasons Lemon Tea - I ordered this with quarter (25%) sugar and no ice. It was delicious and the tea tasted light with a slight citrus flavor, which made it very refreshing and the sugar was perfect. - Changsha Stinky Tofu - We ordered this as Very Spicy with +3 and it was very spicy! The stinky tofu itself was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and combined with the spice was delicious. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and will be be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Jasmine was so refreshing and fragrant, I loved it very much! Service was fast -- food came out in less than 10 min.

Moon tea is a welcome addition to the Marukai Market (Tokyo Central) plaza. There is a lot of parking but it can be quite packed during peak hours as the plaza is very popular. What I like most about Moon Tea is their consistent quality milk tea, fast wait and affordable prices. My favorite teas are the Ceylon milk tea and peach oolong milk tea. The Ceylon milk tea has a strong black tea taste while the peach oolong milk tea has a gentle taste that's not too sweet. If you're in the plaza, want some tea and don't want to wait in line for Izumi matcha, then moon tea is an excellent choice! read more

My new favorite tea spot!! If you like strong tea flavors, moon tea is a MUST try. They have some more uncommon flavors, like osmanthus and da hong tea - both of which I highly recommend. In addition to teas, their food is also amazing. Their stinky tofu is very authentic and sooo good. I can't wait to come here again! read more

Small parking lot. No indoor seating. Pretty efficient and honestly both of the moon teas feel the same. I get the jasmine Milk tea which has a nice floral flavor. The ceylon milk tea is roasted but more typical boba shop. They have whip cream with nuts on it and boba too but honestly the drinks aren't meant to have boba. Both locations ran out of peach oolong when I went :(. read more

Just a heads up to people expecting a "bubble" milk tea or boba pearls - this place doesn't have them. While traditional Taiwanese milk tea has boba pearls and is sweeter, the Chinese milk tea focuses more on tea quality and flavor. This place is a Chinese milk tea place. Here's a pro tip: Order a green tea for a stronger/more floral tea taste. The black teas are all very similar vs other places. This place is a great alternative to Molly Tea due to its better parking environment, lesser crowds, and overall more pleasant ordering experience. If you get a Jasmine milk tea, the taste is similar if not the same as molly tea. I ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea at 70% sweetness and it is perfect for my taste. The taste is so floral, and you can definitely taste the quality in these teas in comparison to basic boba tea counterparts. Tea originated in China, and the best tea quality definitely still comes from China. They have an ordering kiosk in store, and there wasn't a big line the past few times I've been. Although they can be swamped with online orders during peak times, I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes for my drink. The cups are also very cute, and appear to copy Chagee (iykyk) from China. Overall one of my go-to places for comfort milk teas - to a point where I no longer crave boba pearls (unless I'm hungry). Definitely try this boba place out if you're a fan of a milk tea with a strong tea taste! read more

Been here two time this month ! Up there with Molly Tea! I was debating between 4-5 stars and ultimately went with 5 bc it has better parking, more tea options and less of a wait. My favorite drink here is the white champaca tea with the pistachio cream. Much like Molly Tea, Moon tea has very fragrant:delicate teas that aren't too sweet. I personally would recommend 25% higher sweetness than what you get at your regular boba shop (so I went 75% sweet bc i usually get 50% - I tried another drink at 50% and didn't think it was sweet enough). I also tried the Gardenia Coconut tea - it was also very good but def more coconut instead of Gardenia. I ordered the osmanthus tea too with the whipped cream. This was my least fave out of the 3 but it was good too. They don't have much seating in here fyi . Only 1-2 tables but several outside. Would recommend and would go back read more

Super easy to order with the kiosk and a very transparent calling system that's posted on the wall. Drinks come out in a timely manner and they have so much outdoor seating. The inside decor is also fairly aesthetic. It can get hard to find parking here, but usually can find a spot no problem. I've tried various teas and all have been really refreshing. I like how they include the caffeine level on their menu, as well as pointing out the ones to try. read more

***3.5 stars*** Took less than 5 minutes to get my drink after ordering on the kiosk. I ordered a da hong pao milk tea (with whipped cream and pistachio). The drink cup was pretty big. I enjoyed the whipped cream and pistachio. The milk tea was decent - a bit watered down and less smooth compared to other Chinese jasmine milk tea I've had. No seating indoors but a few tables outdoors. read more

FLAVOR (3.5/5): Very interesting to have a whipped cream on top of milk tea, my first time at least! I had the pistachio topping and it was very interesting to get it paired with a strong milk tea base. Not sure if it's something I would drink daily. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (5/5): Their cups are super cute! They have clear dome caps for their whipped drinks so you get to see the toppings. SERVICE (3/5): Long wait lines and very disorganized store inside since it's so small. There's a food window, a drink window, and food delivery makes it really cramped. TAKEAWAYS: Wouldn't purposefully get it again but wouldn't be opposed to stopping by if I was already in the area! read more

Not sure why my yelp review isn't being posted (possibly Cos I spelled out s**t) so I'll try again! I've been sleeping on moon tea. I heard about it and was like "oh another boba chain". But I was in the area the other day and needed my boba fix. I saw YA SHI on the menu and immediately grabbed my parents to translate it to check it was what I thought it was. I believe "Ya Shi" is duck s**t, but my parents said that's not what the chinese was translating into. I got it anyways and if it isnt duck s*** tea then it's pretty similar. If y'all don't know what this is then y'all sleeping on it too. It's THE DRINK in Asia right now and I'm waiting for the lemon tea takeover to come to America. If you like your tea stronger and darker in your drinks then this is it. Don't worry, it's not actually fermented by duck droppings, Google if you're curious about the backstory. Tbh it's not as good as the drink in Asia but I think there's a main ingredient that's not as accessible in America. The closest place that I know sells this tea is in socal! From my research I don't think this drink is something that can be easily made at home so I'm very content! Try Ya Shi! read more

Really good tea! The aesthetics here are nice and they have quality tea. We ordered: Osmanthus Milk Tea with whole milk 50%Sweet No ice: It has a beautiful floral flavor and the sweetness was perfect. Gardenia Coconut Milk Tea 25% Sweet Whole Milk No ice: this was okay and we didn't taste the coconut. My husband and I preferred the Osmanthus Milk tea. Tips: -We paid $0.25 for a semi reusable bag. The bag is insulated on the inside with a velcro top. It is actually pretty cute, but be careful with the handles as it doesn't look like it was meant for long-term. - I like tapioca pearls in my boba, but they don't serve it here. - If you are lactose intolerant, they have a lactose-free milk (+$0.25) -Hot drinks are an extra charge (+$0.50) - We ordered no ice and there was no huge gap in the tops of our drinks which was nice. The wait wasn't long and we did enjoy the Osmanthus Milk tea. We will be back to try their other best sellers! read more
