    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!

    I really like this spot! The menu isn't massive, but what they have they do well--I am personally a…read morefan of how focused their menu is. I will say that the drinks are on the pricier side; everything her ranges from 6 to 8 dollars, even for the smaller-sizd drinks. This spot is a bit small, but it is well-lit and comfortable to sit in. It's clean and stylish inside, and orders are primarily taken through a standing tablet. It's relatively easy to find parking, even though the lot is somewhat busy, especially right after work. The drinks come out pretty quickly and taste really good, though even their "less sweet" options tend to err on the side of being too sweet. I am usually a bit suspect of matcha or hojicha served by places that mostly serve other boba drinks, but I have tried both the matcha and hojicha here, and I liked both. They don't serve food or snacks, which I don't mind! I would absolutely recommend this spot to others; it's a nice experience and their drinks (at least the ones I've tried) are solid.

My go-to order is the Strawberry Matcha with whole milk, less ice, less sweetness, and honey boba. The matcha has a rich, flavorful taste that pairs perfectly with the strawberry puree. The strawberry flavor is fresh and not overly sweet, creating a well-balanced drink that doesn't overpower the matcha. The honey boba adds just the right amount of sweetness and texture, making it my favorite combination. One of the best things about this shop is how fast the service is. Even when ordering in person, I'm usually able to get my drink and be on my way within minutes. The efficiency makes it an easy stop when I'm craving a quick drink. The interior is also a highlight. There's plenty of seating available for anyone looking to study, work, or simply catch up with friends. The space feels welcoming and cozy, with a cute aesthetic that makes it enjoyable to spend time in. Overall, this is a great boba shop with quality drinks, fast service, and a comfortable atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, I would definitely recommend trying the Strawberry Matcha.

This time, Instagram reels gave me major FOMO over their new Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut, so I had to give HeyTea another try. The store is clean, modern, and has a nice minimalist vibe. It wasn't nearly as busy as my first visit, so my drink was ready in about 10 minutes, although the baristas were working nonstop with online orders. Staff were friendly and helpful too. As for the drink, I actually enjoyed the Jasmine Coconut base more than the Pistachio Cloud cream, which is funny because that's what brought me to revisit HeyTea. It was good and worth trying, but not something I'd specifically comeback for. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. I think HeyTea is worth trying at least once, especially if a new seasonal drink catches your eye. As for me... I'll probably only come back when Instagram gives me another FOMO.

The interior is clean, beautiful, and smells like fragrant tea. I'm so used to waiting 30-50 minutes for drink at their other locations, like San Mateo. I had fully accepted my fate after placing the order, so I immediately walked back to my car to snack on In N Out fries. 5 minutes later, I got a text that my order was ready! There is a sign by the registers stating that drinks are best enjoyed within 15 minutes to prevent the foam from melting too much. I like how their employees ask if you want whipped cream on top of Snowy drinks when you arrive at the pick-up counter. I believe you can ask for the whipped cream in a paper cup instead and get a small package of pecans. They automatically do this for online takeout orders. The Snowy Jasmine is phenomenal! It's fragrant and floral, you can tell the tea is high quality and not watered down. I absolutely love the pecans topping, so unique and yummy. I used to think their super thin straw was just a gimmick, but the tea honestly tastes better through the small straw than a regular straw. 4 stars because the Tongmu Lapsang Bubble Tea is just OK, nothing special. Sunnyvale is one of the better locations and Molly Tea is a solid choice for bubble tea.

Since their boba is made fresh and kept in a warm walk, the boba is always soft and warm and doesn't get hard even when it's put in the drinks. Another thing I like is that they do have drink options that don't have caffeine in it. I especially like coming here during the weekday since they're usually not busy so the drinks come out really fast. On busier days, sometimes they do run out of boba, but they do let you know ahead of time or they give you other options.

There wasn't an option to order less sweet so the drinks may be too sweet for some. Order was by kiosk and someone will call out the order number when drinks are ready. It's quaint inside with a few tables and a fun fortune box with about 100 or so fortunes to get.
