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

Came here to support a friend for a cupsleeve event hosted here and it was my first time trying Mr. Sun. The quality of boba is really good in terms of texture but there's no taste to it in terms of honey boba/brown sugar boba. I wasn't a big fan of my drink as even though I adjusted the sweetness. 50% sweetness still felt like everything was super sweet. Not sure if I would come here again for the drinks. read more

I heard the main draw of Mr. Sun Tea is the handmade boba, and I'm thoroughly impressed with it! Added some brown sugar boba to my mango green milk tea, and the drink was fine, but the boba was the real star of the show. It had a more distinct texture and was more tasty than boba from other tea shops, and I would definitely consider coming back just for the toppings despite not being a topping person. Service and ambiance are what you'd expect from any other boba chain: quickly served, ample seating room. read more

I waited 45 minutes for my drink... I ordered on door dash at 4pm and then had to wait till almost 5. Seems like they were having a fundraiser or catering order. I guess my order for lost and that was super frustrating. 5 star drinks though! It was super good and I love the drinks here. I just wish they gave a larger portion or quantity for rainbow boba because my drink had like 10 boba balls in it read more

I actually really love their boba, as you can choose different flavors and they come out pretty tasty and chewy. I like that you can also see them make the tapioca in person. I like coming here for their unique toppings, as their coconut noodles are definitely a must try as well. They have pretty standard drinks, but I definitely think their fruitier drinks pair better with the fruity tapioca balls. I do wish there was more tea flavor coming through in the drinks, but overall, I do like coming to try their boba! One time that I came they were also hosting a mini vendor event, and it was really cool to see local businesses supporting each other. read more

First time coming here, no one was barely in here, waited a long time for our order, when we went to the front our order was sitting there for awhile, they didn't bother to say anything, we ordered the chocolate egg pancake, looks very deceiving, there was nothing in it barely could taste the chocolate.

Mr. Sun specializes in making their own bobas in different flavors such as strawberry and mango. We got the peach drink with cheese foam which had bits of fruits in it which was an amazing touch! However I can't say I'm in love with their boba. The texture is more on the slimy crunchy side than it is with a silky bounciness. I'd say 3.5/5, but I also think it's partly due to my own ordering fault as I got mango boba in a peach flavored drink. read more

My friend recommended Mr. Sun and I was advised that this is the best location for drink quality. I tried the strawberry boba and it was different. I'm not sure if I love it yet, but I'm willing to try it again. Nothing "wow-ed" me here, but there is nothing wrong with it either. read more

The shop itself is very large and spacious, and is a perfect place to hang out. I've heard they have better drinks, so I recommend sticking with the popular consensus. Mango Special (60% | D) - This mango special was specially bad. Mango milk would've been a more appropriate name as it tasted as if someone put mango puree at the bottom of a cup and then filled it with milk. Even then, the drink is imbalanced and tastes bland because there is not enough mango; furthermore, despite using fresh mango, the puree tastes purely artificial. The saving grace here is that the boba is made fresh and is very tender, but this drink should be avoided at all costs. read more

This place is open and welcoming, bright and inviting. I really like it here. I tried the matcha green tea smoothie which was just heavenly! So extremely good, I love it! The ordering process was somehow weird. I ordered online, received a text that my order was ready and went to the counter. The assistant said, it's not ready even though a drink looking very similar to mine was sitting there. After waiting patiently for another ten minutes, I went back and the same assistant handed me that drink that has been sitting there the whole time. I was standing quite close and was overlooking the counter area. No excuse, no nothing. Very disappointed about the service because what was supposed to be a quick pick-up turned into a 20min ordeal. read more

Been wanting to check out this place for a while. I got a tea-only drink and my partner got a chocolate cocoa latte. We both asked for no sugar and added fruity boba. My drink was still quite sweet with 0% sugar, but the chocolate latte was perfect. The boba were great - fruity, chewy, not too sweet. read more

TLDR; mr. sun has a good assortment of milk teas and fruit teas. they make their boba in-house (you can see them kneading the tapioca and putting it into the machine). their drinks are pretty creamy too and run a little sweet. i've been to the mr. sun in cupertino and mountain view. i know there's one opening in palo alto too. // jasmine milk tea with brown sugar boba (25% ice, 25% sweet) their boba is nice and chewy with brown sugar flavor (was on the softer side this time). their milk tea is pretty creamy, definitely more milky vs. a tea flavor but i like it like that. mr. sun drinks do run sweet so i'd recommend getting a sugar level down than normal since the boba already has brown sugar too. ordering was quick and easy. would come back. read more

Glad that there is a Mr. Sun Tea closer to me now! Though it's quite off Castro St, but if you want to give a different boba spot a try, come here! When we came on Sunday around 4pm, they told us they ran out of all the boba. What a bummer! But, I did see them cooking more in the back. They could have just told me that... Anyhow, we got one of the speciality mango drinks and asked them to mix in mango boba and coconut jelly. It was good! But could have liked more mango jam to mix in with the slushee part of the drink. Ambiance is nice, staff was helpful. Interior is also nice to lounge around. Giving a 3 star for now but might round up next time depending on the next drink I get. Overall, I'd come here again! Let's hope they have more boba next time. read more

I came here excited to try the Strawberry Boba Milk Tea. I thought it'd be strawberry milk tea with boba but it was milk tea with strawberry boba. The menu seems quite focused on fruit flavored boba rather than regular boba, which is unlike many boba spots so that was a bit different than what I'm used to. I ended up going with a grass jelly milk tea with 25% ice and 75% sugar. It wasn't overly sweet but it was kind of watered down and also had a salty aftertaste as if there were milk foam or something added to it. I'd try other drinks next time! read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have higher reviews. I had a pleasant experience; fast, friendly and easy...and my drink was tasty as well. The lady helping us (the owner...I think) was very friendly and gave us samples of various Boba to try. Mr. Sun was in the middle of getting remodeled when I came here. The exit/second entrance was being worked on, and the inside was closed. Liquid Sugar: ~ Matcha Red Bean Smoothie w/ Matcha Jelly - 4/5 Solid Matcha smoothie, not too sweet or too bitter. Very well balanced with a decent amount of Matcha Jelly. Matcha on Matcha time! No issues with stopping by again... read more

4.5 stars but rounding up for their fresh fruit boba! I've forgotten how good Mr. Sun's fruit boba was. I finally stopped by their newer Mountain View location, which is located in the Elan Mountain View Luxury Apartment complex. They weren't busy yet at 12:30pm on a Friday. There was a self-service kiosk available to place your order. I decided to try their highly recommended Mr. Sun Special w/Strawberry Boba ($6, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RwZOHCEj0Qk-Rpkqrk5nRw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg), which did not disappoint! It tasted like a strawberry milkshake, and I really liked their strawberry boba, which was fruity, soft, and chewy. It was a bit sweeter than my usual preference, but I didn't see an option to customize on the kiosk. If I was able to dial down the sweetness, I would definitely order this again. They have a QR code (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=iBYt2YH4Bn4trpuwh0Urhw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg) to place your order online ahead of time, and I'll have to use this option in the future. They had a lot of indoor seating available, and there was also outdoor seating. All staff were wearing masks correctly, and they had hand sanitizer. Parking will likely be the most difficult part about coming here, but some street parking spots are available. read more

One of the best boba I've tried. I I love how the drink is the perfect level of sweetness. Ordering was done through a kiosk machine.

Was walking up and down Castro for the Mountain View Art and Wine festival and it was hot hot hot! My daughter and I were in dire need of a refreshing beverage and saw this place right across the street so decided to get our Boba on! LOL The young lady at the register was very friendly and helpful, and the young man making the tea was very nice as well. I decided upon the Mr. Sun mango green tea with crystal ball and mango boba. It was very enjoyable, good strong tea flavor, and sweet enough but not too sweet at regular sugar. They have those little stands with screens so you can order without going to the register if you choose. read more

Now Open! First in Cupertino, then Fremont and now Mountain View. Mr. Sun Tea is super popular and known for their handcrafted boba. I'm a big fan of their boba! They've got the texture of boba down!! They also use high quality teas here and no artificial ingredients. The Pineapple Green Tea Basi Seed drink is one of my all time faves! Love this! So fragrant and flavorful. Amazing pineapple bits with pineapple essence throughout. In fact, the longer the drink sits, the more prominent the pineapple essence becomes. Super friendly customer service, as usual. TIP: This location is within easy walking distance of Castro Street. read more

This used to be my go to location before they opened up other locations which are more convenient for me. I was in the area today and swung by for my favorite strawberry boba milk tea. Glad to see the place is still going strong. The staff is really friendly and they now have a kiosk to expedite ordering. Serious question: do you, or would you ever consider, selling the boba by itself? Lol they're so good, sometimes I wish I had some on hand to add to smoothies, etc at home. read more

Was a huge fan of Mr Sun when they first opened up in Cupertino, and glad that they're on Castro (for how good a food street it's always been, we needed more boba options here - and now we're getting it! 2022 is definitely looking hype for Castro with the new food options, and it starts with Mr Sun!) Quality is pretty consistent with the Cupertino location, you're here for their style of tea (which not everyone is necessarily a fan of compared to more classical boba shops (e.g. TenRen), but they make a really good earl grey milk tea (which is used in all their boba milk teas), and their standout aspect is the handmade in-shop boba - in three flavors: mango, strawberry, and brown sugar. It's chewy, sometimes chunky, good flavor (it's not popping boba!), and may not be for everyone, but I'm a huge fan of it, definitely what makes Mr Sun unique to all the other boba spots in the Bay with their "standard" boba. Drink-wise rainbow milk tea is my go-to every time, it's the rainbow boba (even split of all three flavors) with earl grey milk tea, you get a hint of fruityness to go with the stronger tea flavor from the boba, but it's not so overpowering and surprisingly goes well together (which may be surprising when you initially think of the flavors). Some of my friends who don't want all 3 flavors will get a specific flavor such as brown sugar or mango (just don't get confused by mango boba milk tea as an actual mango milk tea - it's earl grey milk tea with mango boba! No mango milk tea itself, but they have mango green tea). Wouldn't recommend their "signature" of the Heineken, I get what they're trying to do with the beer substitute but it falls flat imo - get a rainbow milk tea and you can't go wrong! Parking is small and tight here especially since they share parking with Rose International Market and an apartment complex, but there are a few spots directly behind it (some in the garage are marked as for the shops so they aren't residential), else there's street parking right on El Camino Real before the store but you have to be aware of it cuz otherwise you'll miss it (especially if going fast before making the right turn to park). Else it's walkable from residential parking, no more than 5 mins away. Overall I wish I was still working on Castro to be walking distance from here (especially for the companies on the left, business side of Castro), and it's location is a bit further from if you got lunch in the restaurant area of Castro (5-10 min walk, but perfect to walk off the boba calories), but I'm glad it's here, definitely will be a stop for me on the way home especially if I'm taking El Camino Real! read more

Great Boba's and even better service. We needed about 10 Boba drinks for a birthday party and it was easy to schedule an order online. We got the order confirmation right away and received a text a few hours later letting us know that they were ready to be picked up. When we picked up the order, they gave us extra ice for our cooler and they gave us tips on how to best keep them in the cooler (e.g., You don't want to have the boba containers to directly touch the ice as that can harden the bobas, and they gave us a box to store everything in the cooler). I'm glad we live near by this place! read more

Mr. Sun Tea takes over the old Peet's Coffee space in Mountain View. I learned that Mr. Sun Tea had (soft) opened its third location (Cupertino and Fremont beforehand), so I decided to try it out. Soft Opening hours during the weekdays start at 3pm. Parking can be hard to find, but I managed to find a spot. You order via a QR code (although you can order at the counter). The staff were friendly and helpful as I placed an order on my phone. While waiting, I took a look around the interior. Soon my drink was ready. It was tasty and refreshing, and the Boba was chewy. I will return to sample more of their menu. read more

I haven't been to any other places that serve housemade fruit flavored boba. I like the texture of boba, but sometimes I want a fruity topping to go with my fruit tea. Typically, I order lychee jelly, but at Mr. Sun, I can order a fruity boba to go with my fruit tea. I like to order some sort of fruit tea, like mango or peach green tea, and mango or strawberry boba. I think the boba is a little bit smaller and chewier than normal boba. You definitely can taste the different flavors. To order, you can use the touch screen kiosk. If there is a problem, there is also a cashier you can order at. When I've been there (usually in the middle of a weekday), the service has been fast. The inside is pretty spacious. There are a lot of tables inside and there are also some outside too. The parking situation is a little confusing. At first I thought there was only street parking, but after reading Yelp, I realized there was parking in the structure that you can access through the alley way behind the store. I've only been to the structure once on a weekday and it seemed to have a lot of available spots. Would recommend if you want a unique topping experience! read more

Okay, I have to start out by saying I like boba but rarely have I found a boba place that I am actually in love with, and Mr. Sun has changed my life forever. I got the Mr. Sun Strawberry and my friend got the Royal Earl Grey Latte and they were actually mind-blowing. First, backup, the service was stellar. My friend and I have never been to these locations before so while we were in line deciding and increasingly panicked, the lady at the counter pulled us over and handed us a free sample of their homemade boba and we were hooked. She was also just so great with recommendations and patient with us while we decided. Loved it so much, especially since the Venn diagram of boba shops and service is sometimes variable. Anyways back to the drinks. The Mr. Sun strawberry drink was actually amazing. I cannot say this enough times, but something between the nondairy creamer and great mix of fresh strawberry syrup made this drink exactly the kind of adult strawberry milk we all didn't know we needed. The Earl Grey Latte for my friend had an oat milk option that she got. Also amazing. Also perfectly QQ boba that you cannot forget. So definitely come by if you can. I literally cannot say more amazing things about this place. Parking is in the back (additional spots in the underground garage)! read more

This is definitely one of my favorite boba spots in the Bay now! They handmake their boba in-house and is said to be healthier because they don't add any chemical preservatives in them! I wanted to try their fruit boba because I've heard great things about it and the texture/ flavor was amazing. The texture is similar to crystal boba and the flavor is sweet but not in an artificial sugar type of way. They also have a ton of indoor seating so it's the perfect place to catch up with friends or for a little study session. (5/5) Mango Green Tea: I got 25% sugar because the staff mentioned that their drinks tend to be super sweet and I would say even 25% was almost ranging from a 50-75% mark. I loved the mango boba it was super chewy and paired perfectly with the mango tea. read more

One of my favorite boba tea places. It's too bad the Cupertino location is so bad cause that's actually closer and more convenient for me. But, when I gotta have my 3 brothers or rainbow boba milk tea, I'll venture out of Bobatino and go to this Mtn View location or the one in Palo Alto. Service was good and efficient. The place has a nice vibe so one could sit down and get some work done while having boba. I'll definitely be back. read more

Love their Mr Sun Mango with Mango boba. The drink itself is non-diary but tasted milky and creamy. A few tips when ordering here: 1) If you pre-order, better wait until you are almost at the shop to place the order. I've had my order taken by other guests and ended up waiting for a long time for my drink to be re-made. 2) Make sure you shake the drink well before poking a hold on the seal or else it won't taste good. 3) Be willing to navigate the twist and turn to park in the narrow underground garage in order to pick up your drink. It's worth it unless you are on a time crunch. read more
