    Pekoe Special
    Lloyd C.

    Pekoe's newest location on Park Victoria, next to Dunkin Donuts. There is plenty of parking! The space seems smaller than it looks from the outside. New modern decor with a few small tables, counter seating, and a cushioned round seat with a tree centerpiece. They offer house music. Order via one kiosk and/or cashier. One unisex restroom. The service was friendly and nice. Probably about 1-2 people working this offshift. *Pekoe Special: black earl grey milk tea infused with lavender, orange bergamot, complemented with silky glass grass jelly and black pearls (3.5/5). Come support your local business.

    Place was nice. Drink was good but I think I should've gotten it half sweet. Service was decent. I would come again

    Pekoe is one of my favorite boba chain. I love how you can choose to have a combination of flavors with their split cup option. Their Angela drink has nice balance of tea and winter melon taste. and nice to see they have sugarcane series now. This time we tried out their pina colada and Emerald which comes with lychee bits. They are good but a little on sweet side.

    San Jose has so many great boba spots, but my favorite is Pekoe! We even drove all the way to the Milpitas location. I love the vibe and amazing service, and we ordered our go to drinks Off The White and Yellow Mango. I highly recommend this place! They also offer milk tea, fruit tea, smoothies, and coffee.

    Fantastic! They finally opened! Will be coming here again and again and again... Drinks were all delicious and the service was exceptionally nice! Convenient parking and next to everything.

    cuppa vo, pretty in pink

    Ordered Pretty in Pink and Kream during their grand opening. I was 12th in line. After I paid, they called me up and told me they were out kream, and that I had to choose another drink. Not sure how they ran out so quickly. If they did not have that drink available at launch, that should have been properly communicated with the staff and the customer during ordering. I hope they figure this out soon, otherwise they'll be calling customers back frequently to change their order. Eventually drinks arrived, and we noticed there was ice in the pretty in pink after we ordered with no ice (and the label on the cup clearly says no ice). Also the drink was incredibly sweet for just half sugar. The cuppa vo that I got instead of kream was also really watered down. Did not get the iconic strong Vietnamese coffee taste that would have liked, but it could also be because I'm used to Tram Coffee. I hate to leave such a critical review for a business' grand opening and instead look past these mistakes as part of grand opening jitters, but this is their 6th location, I had hoped they would have gotten this down to a tee.

    This location has a very different vibe compared to the one on Lundy. This one is bright and modern and doesn't look like a night club. Plenty of parking and no line. My go to is always the Kawaii. Taste wise, this location is the worse of the 3. I asked to substitute for basil seeds and there was barely anything. The drink was also very watered down with no tea taste.

    Came here for a friend's birthday car meet, thank you Pekoe Milpitas for bringing our community together. I got a California punch, less sweet and it was bright and refreshing on a hot summer day (it was like 85 F I think). Loved the elegant marble decor and the cute tree inside.

    The worker was nice and I felt really welcome . The atmosphere was also calm space , and a friendly atmosphere. I appreciate the matcha man they made here . It was okay and it taste decent . I would come back here again for different drinks and explore more . Thank you for serving me !

    i love the fruit teas here, appreciate the images on the menu. the MANLY MELONS is my go to, the POM STAR doesn't stand out to me. i usually get less ice, less sweet. u order of kiosk, not much customer interaction.

    Grand opening - finally!

    Happy opening to Pekoe! I've been waiting for years for this place to open and am so glad it finally has. I'd never been to Pekoe before, so this was my first experience. Walked here from home and it was so nice and quick to get to. Got here around dinner time and it wasn't busy, so I guess I lucked out considering it was their grand opening. There were fun balloons all over the front of the store - it made me smile. When I walked in, there was one person who had just finished ordering their drink, so I did a quick scan to find my go-to drink and sure enough, they had one! I'm a passionfruit tea kind of girl and went with the Kawaii, half sweet, no mango stars, with grass jelly. The lady at the counter (possibly the owner??) was super-friendly and quick with the order taking. Since it's their opening weekend, they had a BOGO deal - woohoo! So I got 2 of the same drink (1 to save for later). I only had enough time to take a couple of pictures of the menu and the inside of the place (which had cute lighting fixtures and a few good seating areas, along with a cool central planter that you could sit around - CUTE!) before my order was ready. SUPER-FAST! So friendly and efficient - I loved it. Took my drinks home and I went to put one in the fridge but sadly, dropped it and it splattered ALL over my kitchen floor. I was devastated. Grass jelly and tea all over the place except my belly *sob* I at least had one to drink, so I sadly dove in as I lamented my lost free drink... it was a lovely and tropical drink. It was exactly what I was looking for and the amount of grass jelly was perfect for the drink. Half sweet was a little sweeter than I prefer, so I kind of wish they had a 1/4 sweet option, but it's all good. Each tea place has their own base line and aside from the level of sweetness, I dug the flavor and grass jelly. I'm really happy to have a new business move into the neighborhood and am sending them all my good juju in hopes that they thrive. I certainly plan to be back!

    I tried this Pekoe location for the first time today, on Mother's Day, as I've passed by it on the way to Dunkin' for a few weeks now. I tried the Pekoe Special. It was delicious. Service was good and fast. This location is very clean and cool, but not really suitable for those looking to work on their laptops in peace due to the loud pop music.

    Pekoe's Milpitas location is finally open! Came all the way down from Berkeley just to get their BOGO, and ended up with four delicious drinks. Service was speedy as it is in every location, and the baristas were all very welcoming and kind. Some thoughts: 1. Pekoe's Foxy Brown is an award-winning black Assam milk tea with honey pearls, and it only takes a single sip to understand why. Even without any modifications, the drink was not too sweet with just the right amount of milk, preserving the richness of the Assam tea. My only problem was that there was just a little too much ice, so it got a bit watered down - I'd probably order it with less ice next time. 2. Matcha Man, a matcha latte topped with strawberry foam. It's as the colors depict - very sweet and light on the tongue. However, I definitely tasted more of the sweet strawberry than the actual matcha. Even after mixing, it didn't become any more apparent. Not a bad pick to try, but I'd say there are better options on the menu. 3. Pretty in Pink, a stunning strawberry milk tea brewed with jasmine tea. This one, like the Foxy Brown, came with honey pearl toppings as well as strawberry jelly hearts - none of which we had to pay separately for. It's aromatic and delicious, but it was very sweet. Definitely considering a lower sweetness level for this one. 4. Kawaii, a fruit tea brewed with jasmine green tea. This one was one of my favorites - you can very easily taste the guava, passion fruit, and mango notes in the tea. The natural sourness of the fruits balanced out the sweetness, so it was more enjoyable to drink. It also comes with star jelly toppings, which I loved ^^ Overall, I think the drinks were very solid. Most of these drinks allow modifications without additional fees, so customers can fine-tune the beverages to their liking. Looking forward to my next visit!

Since every drink is freshly brewed to order, I decided to give it a try--and I was completely blown away. The jasmine tea was incredibly rich and flavorful, perfectly balanced with the creamy A2 milk. As someone who's extremely picky about boba tea, I have to say they got everything exactly right. So many places make their jasmine tea taste overly floral or perfume-like, but here the flavor was delicate, smooth, and just the right intensity. And let's talk about the boba--it was cooked perfectly! Soft, fresh, and delightfully chewy, exactly how boba should be. Beyond the drinks, the atmosphere is absolutely charming. The décor is beautiful, warm, and thoughtfully designed. It feels like stepping into a little fairyland rather than a typical grab-your-drink-and-go boba shop. Every detail--from the chairs and tables to the decorations--comes together to create an elegant, high-end experience that makes you want to stay and relax. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you receive. I also want to give a special shout-out to Lynda, who was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and happy to answer all of my questions and concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back. If you appreciate high-quality tea made with care and attention to detail, Latthe Roast & Toast is absolutely worth a visit!
