    Amazing staff and organic boba. I was initially hesitant because of the brown sugar color, but their boba is one of the best I've had in California. Great place to relax and have a conversation!

    Since we have a sad lunch we need to find something good. Come to Mr Sun Tea because I see a picture of homemade boba. It's not disappointed. We walked in and right away I see someone is making the boba, he is rolling the dough and putting it in the machine to cut into balls. 1st floor is boba shop, 2nd floor is math study. Store is clean, has self ordering area and also can order with staffs. We 1st ordered Rainbow boba milk tea and Mango green tea with cyrstal & mango boba. It's good, all the rainbow boba has different tastes, mango strawberry and brown sugar. They currently have holiday promotions and everyday they have a different type of boba for $5. We liked the chewy of the boba and we had to order one more to go.

    Love the Panda (crystal ball and brown sugar boba) and being able to substitute with oat milk

    Great location on University and so many options. I got the Panda (crystal ball and brown sugar boba) and substituted with oat milk. Drink came out fast and was delicious! Only thing I wasn't a fan of was having to order at a kiosk, but that's the way things are in Palo Alto.

    We enjoyed our teas a lot: mango, matcha latte, brown sugar. There was only one kiosk which had a line. Not a lot to say except it was good! Not tons of seating but good to grab and go. They are paper cups which was fine for consuming within 1-2 hours

    Great boba option near Stanford campus for your afternoon pick-me-up! I had a friend recommend this place to me and we went together. I got a Alishan oolong tea with boba (no milk). Being Taiwanese, the tea quality was pretty good for the price! The boba are clear so they're not your usual tapioca starch version (I think). At least, they don't have the roasted brown sugar taste. I got 25% sugar which was perfect for me. All ordering is on a tablet kiosk. When I went on a Saturday afternoon there was one party ahead of us but we didn't wait much time at all. Drinks came out quickly too. There are about 5-6 tables inside of varying sizes, but the drinks are easily portable to a nearby park. Great, affordable option for boba!

    I tried Mr. Sun on a whim and it became my favorite boba spot in the peninsula. Now I'm addicted to it and my family always jokes that I'm going to pick up Mr. Sun whenever I'm in the area. Their fresh handmade boba is soft, chewy, and satisfying. They're very generous with the toppings so I always feel like I have enough boba. My go-to boba flavor is Strawberry. The staff is very friendly. The space has high ceilings and a good amount of seating. It's a busy shop but I usually don't have too much trouble finding street parking. Order through Snackpass and you can save up for rewards.

    Mr. Sun Special with Strawberry Boba
    Maricarmen C.

    First time trying this place out and was not disappointed. You can either order at the counter or on your own. I tried their Mr. Sun special with strawberry boba and added brown sugar boba. It was delicious! It was ready fast, and it is surrounded by other shops so you can either drink there, or walk around after.

    Osmanthus tea with their weekend special black sesame boba
    Jessica T.

    Absolutely loooooove Mr Sun's homemade boba. I loved it so much, I looked into how to make my own and get my own boba machine. But that's too much work so I'll just go to Mr sun and get their boba. I wish there was a closer location to me.... I always get their osmanthus tea with rainbow boba (since I can't decided). But this time, I saw their weekend special boba was black sesame so only got that flavor. It was really good!!

    I am eating this based on a Too Good To Go order. I do think I should go back again to try other drinks and add updated rating. STARS -Quality tea drinks -Clean bathrooms -Asked if I needed bag since they were low on bags but willing to give it -Convenient location STAIRS -Service staff could be friendlier but it was almost closing time on a Friday night -Would be awesome if bathrooms had changing tables to make more family friendly -Should offer compostable straws and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cup and straw (this applies to most boba shops) TIPS -Street parking and garage parking available for free -Bring your own reusable straw and bag

    Toilet entrance

    Toilet cleanness is average. I do like the inside dec design of the store. Feels a little bit like museum. I guess can put more cool vintage stuff? Boba is alright. Not a big fan of the milk tea, but if you like the chewy Boba, this is the place you should try out; they have many kinds of boba. Toilet: 3/5 passcode is the name of old popular men singer celebrity Drink: 3/5 I got 50% still little bit too sweet Staff 4/5

    Thanks for the awesome drinks from 2G2G Love the bobba flavor so much variety Very yummy

    Mr. Sun Mango
    John L.

    My go-to orders here are the Mr. Sun Mango with Mango Boba or Mr. Sun Special with Strawberry Boba Mr. Sun is one of my favorite boba chains in the bay area and what really makes them stand out is their hand made honey, strawberry, and mango pearls. Depending on what time you drop by you may be able to see them making it fresh. - The Mr. Sun Mango is on the sweeter side and the sweetness can not be changed but I personally enjoy the sweetness as-is - The Mr. Sun Special tastes like strawberry ice cream, is less sweet than the Mr. Sun Mango, and I'm a big fan

    F S.

    Great variety and fun flavors to choose from with options to choose percentage of sugar you want in your drink

    Tasty teas and good prices (average for the area 7-8$). They have a wide selection and you order at the kiosks. The drinks come quick.

Everything tasted fresh, smooth, and high quality. The matcha had a rich flavor without being overly sweet, and the hojicha latte had an amazing roasted taste that really stood out. You can tell they care about the quality of their drinks. The atmosphere was busy but welcoming, and the service was great. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to again.

    I come here many times because I love the matcha soft serve. However the last couple visit have…read moregotten progressively worse!!! You pay about 8 dollars for a drink or soft serve, and if you ask for light ice they still pack it with ice and honestly you get hardly any drink, secondly lately the lady that made my cone the last few times likes to do a big circle and leave a big hole in the soft serve which also now leaves you with less / hardly any ice cream for your money. Most importantly I had the worst customer service from her this last visit. It was so bad another lady waiting for her items asked for her name and told her the same things I was saying. I have to say the day I went in, the young lady working the register was very sweet and helpful. Hats off to her for knowing what customer service is. Most importantly, the older lady working drinks and the soft serve machine about 1:30 ish ( name might be vaung? Didn't hear after when I walked away) today was rude as all can be and so unprofessional!!! Her alone makes me not want to go back. I ordered 2 drinks and a soft serve. My order was called out. when I went to retrieve it, It was missing the soft serve and the one drink didn't have the soft serve in it either. I told her my order is missing two things and she yells out this is order 2. I said it's wrong and she pushes the drinks towards me. I explained again what's wrong and she proceeded to help someone else. Comes back and says this is your order. I pull out my receipt and say there's no soft serve cone or soft serve in the drink, and may I please have a bag for the drinks. She goes to make my cone finally, gives me my cone and again I have to say there's no soft serve in the drink. She looks at the drink like I'm lying and then inspected the drink to see if there was any. smh ... literally looks at the drink and starts shaking it to see if there's any. Then finally does go to take care of it. She comes back with it. I asked for a bag again and then she says I need to charge you. Mind you, i'm holding the cone in one hand and the two drinks in my other arm against my chest . Whether or not you're supposed to charge is beyond the point it's the fact that she never apologized. It took more than once to get this right and then you're gonna make me go pay for a bag separately when my hands are full with two drinks and an ice cream cone on top of it. It was the way she handled it all. She was rude!!!! On top of it, then another lady actually proceeded to complain about her because she was rude to her as well, and she laughed at us, like it was okay for her to be rude or whatever we're saying was a joke. Worst customer service I've ever had in there and I felt this is something that should be mentioned. on top of it lastly she left a nice big hole in the middle of my cone so I barely got any ice cream. Might not care because I'm just one person, but they just lost a customer. Maybe two from what I saw today. Do better!! With all the other business around if someone is choosing to come in to your establishment, they should not be treated rude. Looking at some of the other reviews as well, I see the ice thing and bag thing has been repeated. If you know someone's order multiple things and you see they are alone. Maybe ask will you need a bag before hand. Not when they have everything handed to them and then say I need to charge you. I tried to call the management to bring this to them first and there's no answer on the phone or the email I sent over. Maybe they don't care either.

    AMAZING!!! One of my all time favorite dessert places in the bay!!!…read more This particular location is SO cute. And also located in a very adorable shopping/restaurant grid, so the surrounding shops and streets are also so nice to walk around in! I was overwhelmed with the delicious options in flavors for the coconut pudding desserts! From persimmon (my favorite), to durian, to mango sticky rice, to black sesame...oh my god asian flavor galore. My friend and I got several flavors because we couldn't just pick one! We tried: Persimmon Mochi - This was my absolute favorite. The mochi at the top wasn't chewy by any means, but it had such a nice goopy mouth feel that was very different from the tofu-like pudding. The persimmon itself was so fresh and sweet, just simply addicting. I loved it so much I ordered another one to bring home. Durian - If you like durian, you'll like this. While the flavor was delicious and fresh, I wasn't particularly wowed because all the other flavors seemed to have some extra huzzah going for it. The durian one was mainly some mashed durian on top of the coconut pudding, without any pomp and circumstance. Don't get me wrong, still delicious, just a bit more straightforward than I expected. Mango Sticky Rice - LOVED this one!! This was a 3 layer dessert, with mango at the top, coconut pudding in the middle, and purple sticky rice at the bottom. The rice was an excellent chew texture, and the layered spoonfuls were divine! I would definitely get this flavor again!!! Black Sesame - I loved how the black sesame portion on the top was its own texture/consistency! I liked how thick it was, and fragrant. We also ordered the corn latte and the matcha cloud! The corn one was bit too grainy for me, especially towards the latter half, but the matcha cloud was SO good. The matcha was a deep earthy flavor, definitely quality! And the cream at the top was to die for. The interior is so adorable, and very comfortable to sit and catch up with a friend in! The staff is so nice, and I love that with every order, they hand you a cute little paper bag with utensils and napkins already set in it. Everything was just packaged in such a careful and whimsical way. Just such a treasure of a desert spot! There is a 3hr free parking garage only a block away. Various street parking spaces available too, but it gets pretty hard to find a spot since this area is so busy.

    Too pricy and not something I will try again! Parking is a nightmare!…read more However the sitting area is nice!

Plus, on your second visit (w/ a starter pack plan), you get a free smoothie credit ($11 limit)! I tried the Barry's and Brunch smoothie, and the notable ingredients were vanilla whey protein (very beneficial after an intense workout) and gluten free granola (other ingredients were blueberries, bananas, almond milk). The smoothie definitely had a protein-y taste, but the bananas provided a nice and creamy texture. It's definitely very refreshing after a Barry's class and I finished the whole cup! Barry's fuel bar is genius because you can pre order your smoothie, so it'll be waiting for you after your class. So fast, easy, and convenient! Barry's claims to choose ingredients that help you recover quickly (so you can come back again haha). Apparently, if you refuel with protein within 20-30mins after your workout, you can decrease the amount of soreness you feel the following days. The smoothies are a little pricey, most of them being $10+. I wouldn't get one after every workout, but if I want to treat myself and refuel, I would go for one! They just taste SO GOOD after a sweaty time in the red room ;)
