Service: Nice. I went to the cash register instead of self-ordering and they were nice explaining the drinks cause Ive never been there before. The store wasnt bad. A lot of seating but it wasnt as cozy as I wouldve wanted, felt a bit cramped with the random tall chairs and long chairs and all kinds of chairs. Also the drink pick up area is hidden by a bunch of stuff in front of it so youd have to actually be alert if they call out your drink cause you cant see anything. Drink: Super refreshing. I got a grapefruit type ice drink mojito and it wasnt too sweet or too bitter and the cashier even recommended me the sugar level which was nice. Took a bit cause there were a few customers ahead of me but its fine. I didnt put any add ons like pearls and it was good without it. The pulp in the drink is also really nice. I would show the drink but it comes in a white cup so you cant see anything. Overall, nice. Good service, nice drinks, just poor interior layout/design. read more

I was talking to the owner, and they said they're the only boba shop in the bay that uses some of the highest quality boba using fiber rich konjac jelly, which is so cool to hear the process of how they made it. It's awesome that they have a wide selection of unique fruit-flavored boba that's hard to find anywhere else in the Bay Area, giving every drink a fun and refreshing twist. I also had the chance to sample three of their boba flavors: mango, strawberry, and brown sugar, and they're all so chewy & flavorful without being too sweet. read more

I've said it before and I'll say it again - this is the best boba shop in the bay area. I ordered the rainbow milk tea, which has their mango, brown sugar, and strawberry bobas. This is my go to. Like always it was very good. I have never had a bad experience with Mr sun. The staff is always nice, and the store is cool with a few retro arcade games and decorations. Still bummed the Cupertino location closed :( read more

I've always loved Mr Sun's boba drinks, though it was my first time at this store location. My drink (mango tea with mango boba) was as expected -- delicious and 'hit the spot' on the hot day -- but there was no welcome, even with no customers inside, and poor signage as to where to pickup orders. The parking was no bueno. I missed the parking structure because it looked like a residential lot, so I parked at a 15-min takeout zone behind a restaurant, which felt like a far walk in the hot sun. (Sun... get it?!!) Inside was disorderly, but there were things to look at, which was fun: a shelf of toys, a game that looked defunct, and lots of menus and promo signs. I walked all the way to the other end of the store in search of the drink pick-up area to no avail. There was a tiny handwritten note (it was like a scavenger hunt) taped to the counter that said to go to ordering area for drink pickups. I then walked back to the middle of the store to retrieve my drink. What would have been nice is if the employees had greeted me, since I was THE ONLY CUSTOMER in the store, and then they could have directed me or just given me my drink so I didn't have to hunt for it. Also the prices are pretty high (mostly ~$8 and up), but most drinks do NOT include toppings (boba, pudding, jelly). I do appreciate that you can customize sweetness and ice on non-smoothie drinks, but for the nonexistent customer service and inconvenient pickup, I think the price is too high. So it boils down to this: Drinks: 5 stars Customer service: 1 star Location/inconvenient parking: 3 stars Price: 3 stars read more

Mr. Sun's stashe aesthetic was really what inspired me to visit this shop on an absolutely hot day here in Mountain View. I was so ready for another boba drink and they delivered. The interior was quite large for a boba shop. There aren't a lot of tables but definitely standing areas where you can watch the outside world go by. If weather permits, you can enjoy your drink at a table outside the shop. Everything is ordered through the kiosk. However, there was no way to substitute or remove an item such as the boba cream for my drink, so I made sure to inform the staff once the order went through. I went with an Early Grey Milk Tea with Soy Milk, Boba, and less sugar. The drink was well blended and I could taste the tea over simply just sugar. I was happy they included non-dairy milk! Drinks came in compostable paper cups making it easier on the earth. Definitely would come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Mr Sun Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

First time at this location - used to frequent the Cupertino location until they closed down. Went on a warm Sunday and the crowd was pretty large. I almost didn't see the self-order kiosk so I think someone cut in front of me as I was getting my bearings! There was a posted menu when we walked in but it was a little tricky to find those items on the ordering kiosk. Prices were a bit on the high side but portion size is good. Had a VERY long wait, almost 40 minutes, which is terrible especially since it looked like orders placed after mine were ready first. There was no real organization with the pickup process. Cups were randomly placed on the counter and it was hard to see whose order was ready unless you peered at the small label on it. Orders with multiple cups were not always completed together. On a positive note, the worker who answered a promotion question I had was friendly even though the promotion had expired (note: they need to remove the sign!), and the drinks tasted good. read more

Positives: Love that they make their own boba - it is perfectly bouncy. Drink (Golden milk tea with boba) was tasty and at 50% plenty sweet. Plenty of indoor seating. Negatives: Disappointed that the handcrafted boba series doesn't include boba as a default (or so I was told) and I had to pay to add it. Also it was very slow yet they just let a number of unmade drinks stack up before making them (took almost 15 mins waiting before they started making the drinks) so it took over 20 mins to get it. Disappointed in the service. read more

This was the nearest Mr. Sun since the Cupertino location closed. It was a much larger and nicer location inside along with a Pac-Man video game and Godzilla pinball machine (both turned off during our visit). Outside parking was tighter due to the high density mixed shopping and apartment complex. Offerings still the same with customizable boba teas, waffles and their own boba made on site. We all ordered the same mango green tea with crystal ball and mango boba. 25% sugar was the right sweetness level for us and the crystal boba had a consistent chewy texture. Bringing our reusable MR Sun Duo Duo cup resulted in a 10% discount and we've recouped the initial cost. Service was quick with the two person staff. Visiting this location and spending $15 or more earned one play on their discount game where one could win a free topping, drink discount, etc. on their next order. unfortunately qualified spending jumped from the prior $10 earlier this year. Hopefully this location stays put so I don't have to drive further north. read more

right when u walk in, ur greeted with flat screen tv's advertising their mission: low calorie, additive, fresher boba pearls made in house!! i def tasted that in each sip + the tea was rich, creamy, strong floral.

Mr Sun Tea - Brown Sugar Boba with Fresh Milk - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

This place nickle and dimes you for everything. they fill up the cup with 110% ice, charges you to have it at 50% ice, then charges you an extra $2 for a tiny bit more milk. I'll never go back. You basically are paying $8 for a cup full of ice and a tiny sip of tea drink. Even if this place had quality tea or drinks, they fill up the entire cup with ice and then water down the drink so you only are drinking a few sips of actual tea drink bc it's basically all ice. read more

This location takes soooo long. There weren't a lot of people at all and we still waited 20-25 minutes for our drink. The first time we came here was the same way. Drinks are good, not amazing. Also, aside from that, the prices on the kiosk are a bit different than what is stated on the menu. You have to choose a milk option and that adds 1.00. Parking is also a little difficult, but there is a small parking garage. read more

I had ordered via TOO GOOD TO GO and paid $6.99 for a SURPRISE BAG of 3 drinks, (WHICH IS REALLY GREAT), But when i was there waiting, I observed 4 younger women HANGING AROUND THE ORDER KIOSK and just looking at the menu so ((NOBODY ELSE CAN ORDER)) -(PLEASE INFORM PATRONS) once done order step away from the order kiosk, so others can order there drinks also. I've also tried UME on Castro (ALL PINK INTERIOR - NOT MY COLOR) But that place is always ((crowded)), and the tables there aren't wiped down enough and spilled drinks on the floor, and not mopped up quickly so one see dirty footprints on the floor - so I quit going to UME's and came back to Mr., Sun Tea, read more

Ambience was modern, but parking was a pain. This location is down the street from Graham Middle School, so if you're going after school hours, expect it to be filled with said demographics. My main gripe with this was the wait time. When I came in to place my order on a Thursday @ 2pm, there were 5 other guests, and only 1 person working. Somehow, it took them 20 mins from when I ordered to receiving it. The drink itself was average. I'd recommend going elsewhere for a boba drink. read more

My hubby loves their cloud foam peach green tea at 100% sweetness. It's even better than the Palo Alto location. This time I got the Panda Milk Tea with crystal ball and boba at 50% sugar and no ice. The boba is so squishy. Parking sucks, but there's a Middle Eastern market next door that looks appealing. Maybe it's worth going for both? read more

High quality tea and boba like the ones ive tried in Taiwan. I like that their standard sugar is cane sugar and not corn syrup. They also have real honey as an option as well. Drinks tend to be on the sweeter side so the lady recommended 25% or 0% sugar for future visits. read more

I've seen a few locations around and decided that I should try it out. I have been looking for different places with mango drinks and saw that they have a few on the menu. This Mountain View location is pretty spacious with a parking lot. It was a nice place to just hangout and chill. You order off kiosks so not much interaction with staff. Mr. Sun Mango W/ Mango Boba (2/5): This was way too sweet and the mango flavor tasted artificial. The syrup was probably too intense from the mango boba which I didn't enjoy that much either. Maybe I should've ordered a mango smoothie or something else. Not sure if it would have made a difference with the overpowering mango syrup taste. Overall it wasn't a pleasant drink experience. read more

Mr Sun Tea - Mr. Sun Mango with Mango Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

Located on El Camino near Mountain View Downtown, parking is limited and so difficult to find. I got lucky that there was a car leaving right when I entered. The interior is cozy with a few tables to sit at. They have a cool 4 play pacman machine which was fun to play on while we waited for our drinks which came out shortly after ordering. Mango green milk tea (5/5): oh my goodness the boba is so amazing. The texture was actually so magical. It was chewy but soft. The tea/liquid portion was also so yummy. The mango and green tea flavor were really balanced and neither overpowered the other. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, Mr Sun Tea is a great boba shop. The boba is so delicious and the drinks are well made. I'd come back here. read more

I love it!!! I came here to try their handmade, low calorie boba with different boba flavors such as mango, strawberry, grape, etc. I got the rainbow milk tea which has a little bit of each boba flavor variation they offer.

Mr Sun Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

Nice little boba shop with some interesting drinks (there's one with non-alcoholic Heineken?), but their stand-out feature is the in-house freshly made boba! They take pride in the fresh boba and house-made toppings so much they'll give you a free sample of their toppings so you can figure out which ones you like before you order if they aren't busy! The fresh boba has a tender but satisfying chew, which is different from boba cooked from dry or parboiled, similar to how a fresh pasta has a different texture than dry when cooked. The shop itself is a pretty standard boba shop, but seems to be kept clean and tidy. They have the little boba forming machine on display behind a pane of plexiglass, and I imagine if you come while they are making a new batch, you can probably easily watch! The staff is also super friendly and helpful, and offered me samples of other toppings they make in house as well (their new matcha jelly is soft like aiyu jelly and is plant-based, if you're curious). My husband, who usually prefers crystal boba to regular, commented that the boba by itself would make a pretty good dessert because it's a really nice texture. He got the egg waffles as well (with no filling), and really liked that. I got peach green tea (they were out of all their oolongs, sadly) with the brown sugar boba, and it was great! Overall, super glad our friends introduced us to this unique local chain, and we'll definitely be back for more boba! read more

There's a few other Mr. Sun locations, this one stands out for its spacious interior. A great spot for the selection of fruity drinks and fun boba options (love the variety of fruity bobas)! I tried their non-alcoholic Heineken, which was great as a fun one-off (don't get me wrong, drinkable, but I got it for the novelty). I probably will go with their fruity options which are superb. The staff was friendly and offered to let us sample the teas and boba before deciding. For ordering, there's a kiosk or the Snack Pass app. Snack Pass lets you earn rewards and do mobile orders. Bonus: there's a parking garage right next door. read more

If you have time and just want to hang out there with a drink, that's good. If you are like me most of time, you want to get your drink as fast as possible, this place does not prioritize you. I went in with one other customer in line. I ordered from the kiosk, and the drink took about 15 minutes to get. Although that didn't sound bad the time I went before this other visit I was the only customer and waited 20 minutes. I think they were working on the call in or online orders first. I suggest you prioritize the walk in customers when you can since they are already there. I'm writing this review a bit late since today my friend decided to stop here for drinks before we have to rush to a wedding.... Well we are still waiting for 15+ minutes. Anyway, long story short, fast service this place is not about that. Drinks aren't bad. But the thought of having to wait makes me not want to go unless I have time hang around. As much as I don't like writing a review such as these, please do work on the prioritization of your drink orders. read more

Drink 4/5 Nothing in particular stood out to me in terms of their drinks. Their #1 heniken green tea was refreshing and a good alternative for people who don't want alcohol. Their new summer drinks Hazelnut milk tea smoothie with sweet foam was way too sweet. Their boba/pearls are chewy and handmade. Service 4/5 They have two kiosk for you to order. Regular service as most boba shops where they call out your number for pick-up. Ambiance 4.5/5 I like that this location is big and quiet. Located next to a small luxury apartment, it has street parking and a one level parking structure for retail. Tables were kept clean and has free WiFi for those who wish to do work. read more

Mr Sun Tea - Hazelnut Pudding Milk Tea Smoothie w/ Sweet Cloud Milk Foam Mr. Sun Green Tea with Heineken - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

The person who served me tea was very curteous and helpful. When I asked for 50% sweetness she informed me that it maybe too sweet for me and suggested 25%. I did appreciate her thoughtfulness since 25% was just about right for me. She also let me tried the rainbow boba since I could not decide what I really want. Very happy with the service. The location of this place is perfect, off the busy place of Castro but just across the street from El Camino Real. Inside is very spacious, cool and clean. I have been going to this place several times by now. Will continue to patronize this place. read more

The drink was super bad; asked for less ice and got full glass of ice asked for grass jelly, got no grass jelly in a drink asked for 0% sugar, got sweet drink Green tea was very bitter/old they refuse to refund Would never come back here read more

The Chinese lady that served my drink was very rude. She should evaluate her career and possible reconsider working in food service industry- but if she still insists, I suggest she hides in the kitchen to minimize customer interaction. Anyhow, the drink I got was the Mr. Sun Mango W/ Mango Boba. The Mango Boba is like the regular, sticky and chewy pearl Boba and not like the Mango boba that is served at the Happy Lemon so just a heads-up. I don't like it but luckily it came with another half of crystal boba serving (which has the same texture as the Mango boba at Happy Lemon). The only thing I find challenging about this corner location is the parking. If you're luckily like I was, I went there shortly after lunch and since it's President's Day week (aka Ski week), everyone was out of town and the traffic was light allowing me to park directly on El Camino. I don't think I'll be going here at this location again if that lady is still working there. The younger workers are more pleasant and cordial but this middle-aged lady was not. read more

I had the passion fruit green tea with coconut jelly and boba and 50% sugar. I liked the large size of the drink, and the sugar level was perfect for me. The crystal boba was not my favorite because it felt a bit slimier than I'd like. I'd come back to try something else. read more

I've tried Mr. Sun tea a couple of times before writing this review. My first experience wasn't that good. The store was unkept and didn't feel inviting. The drink menu was extensive, but there were very few tea or milk tea options that I like. Personally, I don't like sweet drinks and have always order zero sugar added option. So, a lot of the fruit drinks were out. I chose the tea special of the day that has oat milk and red beans. The cashier was nonchalant and not very helpful. I discovered that I did not like oat milk. So, I didn't enjoy the drink at all. I didn't want to give it a bad review based on that one visit. I went the second time. This time the store was cleaner and the cashier was friendlier. I tried the golden brown sugar boba milk tea (0% added sugar) and the red bean egg pancakes. They are good. Not exceptional but good. I don't know if I would make a special trip to Mt. View just to go to Mr. Sun. But I would stop by if it's on my way. read more

Mr. Sun Tea in Mountain View is hands down the best place to get boba in town. The quality of their boba is top-notch, with perfectly chewy tapioca pearls and a wide variety of delicious tea flavors to choose from. Not only is the boba amazing, but the service at Mr. Sun Tea is always friendly and efficient. The staff there are quick to take your order and make your drink exactly how you like it, ensuring that you never have to wait too long for your tasty treat. Overall, the combination of high-quality boba and excellent service makes Mr. Sun Tea a must-visit spot for any boba lover - or coffee too. I absolutely love their brand new Mountain View location -- very spacious, lots of plugs, and lots of tables to do your studying at! It's also conveniently located right next to an International Grocery Store as well. read more

Mr Sun Tea - Pancake bite! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

How dare I call myself an avid boba drinker and I've somehow managed to miss every Mr. sun tea location? I seriously can't believe I haven't tried this place before. I was so surprised by the way they prepared their tapioca balls, which actually isn't made with only tapioca starch like others. The owner took the time to explain that they made a concoction of konjac jelly and tapioca. Konjac is an East Asian plant that grows in tropical area and while the root has very little taste, it comes packed with soooo many health benefits... My personal favorite, fiber! We got to try the mango, strawberry, and brown sugar. I was so taken by the natural flavor; it did not taste like your overally artificial bubble tea. I also had the opportunity to try the coffee jelly with my hazelnut milk tea. It wasn't shaped like pearls but instead like Jell-O scooped from a cup!. That was also very natural tasting as it had the subtle bitterness that coffee often carries. Overall, I was very pleased and cant wait to come back to Mr. Sun tea to try some more of their natural fruit flavors. read more

Love the new concept of making their own boba and making it healthy with less calories and zero preservatives. Nice interior, plenty of seats to hang out. Tried their golden brown sugar boba milk tea - just perfect for me at 50% sweetness. Passion Fruit or Peach Green tea was also delicious. Their boba is very chewy!! They rotate their flavors every week too! read more

Quick take: strawberry boba Stopped by the MV location to try the Mr. Sun Special. The strawberry boba has a dense, not bouncy texture. It didn't taste like strawberries. All in all I prefer lychee jelly or regular boba. There's no customer service at this location. No one greets the customers. Ordering is by touch screen. Parking is a bit difficult too. read more

Nice and clean interior, killer boba! It's similarly chewy to tapioca boba, but just a little different since it's made with konjac. Pretty good and more healthy apparently! The drinks were all delicious, I think I'd say the fruit teas are the best, followed by milk tea, and then the milk tea lattes (of what I've tried and seen). We were getting 50% sweet and that felt just right (not too sweet but not too flavorless). My favorite of the bunch was probably the passion fruit green tea! So fragrant and refreshing! The three brothers milk tea was also pretty good and came with 3 toppings preselected (brown sugar boba, pudding, and grass jelly). The drink was creamy and delicious. The rainbow boba was fun to get, but harder to taste the flavors individually since they get all mixed together (there's brown sugar, strawberry, and mango). I found the osmanthus oolong tea latte with grass jelly to be a little watery in taste. Not very osmanthus-y. The peach jasmine green tea with mango boba was refreshing and light. I heard on the weekends they have even more boba flavors, so cool! read more

I've been to Mr. Sun's a few times now and have always had good experiences! I like the tea here. I've tried some of the fruity and milk drinks, and have never had a drink I didn't like. The boba pearls themselves taste really fresh, and I like the variety they offer. I also like the vibe. My friends live around there, and this is a nice place to meet up. It's spacious, clean, and always has enough seating for my group. Even though they have an iPad ordering system (which is my preference for customizations anyway) the staff has been nice every time we've interacted with them. Last time I was there, they even offered us samples of their Passionfruit drink and it was so good! read more
