It's a cute little boba spot, my first time. It's bright inside & the music was definitely a vibe. The drinks came out quick. I'd say the strawberry drink was pretty nasty, but the winter melon and the brown sugar one was good

Ok boba shop. I got the pretty in pink less ice and half sugar. The boba tasted like it's been sitting too long since boba was watery and expanded. Didn't have a nice chew. The tea was watered down and didn't have much tea flavor. Subtle strawberry flavor. Came during the day and store was empty. Server was nice. Pink booths around the store for seating with a large screen in the middle.

Video plays with bad music and awkward people on a party boat...  Other than that, nice little boba cafe...

Cool little boba shop with unique flavors. Fun seating area with a comfortable bench and seats that look like hard boiled eggs. Cool video screen with some of the worst music I have ever heard. They show a video of people on a party boat with a DJ trying to act cool on camera. Great views of SF (Alcatraz and the SF skyline) ruined by wanna be's. Oh, no WiFi for customers. Other than that, nice staff and good boba but I wouldn't hang out here.

Love coming to this place, its got this club vibe going on with their huge theater screen playing hit songs and a lounge to sit if you want to chill and drink your boba. Besides that their drinks are amazing and the best part is that if you can't decide which one to get you can always get a split cup and have two totally different beverages. I love having that option specially when I want to try something different, but don't want to opt out of my usual favorite. Service is also great and fast, pekoe doesn't disappoint!

Vibe was great but went there for a good boba teas. Unfortunately the drinks are below mediocre. The tea barista was very helpful & quick with the ordedr. Pekoe special was not so special. One of the perk was their late opening though.

Came here afternoon after work w coworker. Wednesday. First time trying this franchise. Inside was pretty until you take a closer glance. Very dirty and messy like an after party. I like the big screen but my friend didn't like it. Workers really didn't have much to do except sitting in the back and looking at their phone ... could really clean the place up a bit. I got the foxy brown. Honestly both my friends and my drinks are pretty bad. Very watered down and the boba was not good. I do not recommend coming here. There are better quality boba down the street.

the best boba i've ever had. i live in oakland and i drive here to get boba so that should say something lol 5/5

Peak Bay Area ambiance if you're looking for a spot to hang out. Pekoe is iconic for that lively vibe with a club setting, big screens playing festival sets (UMF when I stopped by), trendy decor and cuties working the cashier. The boba and tea is kinda mid unfortunately, the sweetness levels are inconsistent; I always order half sweet, sometimes it's still overly sweet, but sometimes it's way too bitter. They also don't have a good boba to drink ratio. I'm a big boba girl but I always catch myself not finishing the drink when I come by Pekoe. Would come back for the vibes, also love that it's open late.

Pretty in Pink
J K.

Pretty in Pink Judgment: solid B sugar is strong but not overpowering tea is still strong enough to be noticed and it's not terrible pearls are alright they fill up to the top, which is shockingly rare gets legacy points for being *that* spot ice is excessive still tasty even on a full stomach doesn't get tiring to drink or depreciate in quality solid serving size place is a vibe but relatively clean don't go here for a quiet and chill time, just a chill time fast service $6.50 5/2/24

My friend took my here because it's her favorite and I see the reason why. I like the vibes and the huge TV that plays music videos. Service was friendly (one employee on a slow Sunday). I ordered the Manly Melons fruit tea: jasmine green tea, watermelon, strawberry, mango, lychee, aloe vera & white pearls. I substituted the white pearls for lychee jelly and it made it better for my taste. Overall, the flavor combination did not miss. I highly recommend this drink.

Pekoe Special

3.5/5 rounding up to 4 Stars Stopped by Pekoe on a Wednesday afternoon and found it relatively quiet. Given it's vibe is more night-cluby and it's open later - unsurprising as I imagine the crowd isn't quite here yet. Service was very friendly and quick to take my order. They have the split cup boba here - which is FANTASTIC. I really wish more boba shops around did this as well for those indecisive people like me. We got the Pretty in Pink (strawberry milk tea with boba and heart jelly) and Pekoe Special (Earl Grey tea with boba and grass jelly). Both were ordered at half sweet (they don't do less than that) and already incredibly incredibly sweet. Only reason this place lost a star was due to the overly sweet drinks. Both were tasty but just felt a tad heavy / slightly artificial tasting. Definitely hit the spot we were looking for at the time but likely wouldn't be a regular instance since it's a bit much

Reviewing the fruit tea-- on the plus side, this place had quick service and the mango-star toppings were quite good. However, the fruit tea itself tasted artificial and had no real fruit pieces in it, although in the menu photo it almost seems like there are many fruit chunks. It also had a slightly bitter aftertaste. For the price, I would have hoped for slightly less artificial tasting

Manly Melons/life's a peach split cup and Pretty in Pink
Hope L.

I always love coming here whenever I'm in San Jose as the drinks are always delicious. We got the pretty in pink drink and the manly melons/life's a peach split cup. The pretty in pink is always my favorite as I like the sweet and milky taste of the drink infused with a light taste of strawberries. I also like the strawberry gummies and boba toppings as it's perfectly chewy and pairs well with the drink. The life's a peach drink was okay as lacked the peach flavor and tasted more like tea. Personally wouldn't get that one again but the manly melons one was a high second place for me as it had a sweet and tropical taste which was perfectly paired with the jasmine tea and the agar boba pearls. Would definitely come back to check out other drinks on the menu!

Boba gets zero stars. This location seems to disappoint each time I try it. The boba is hard and old. I wouldn't waste my time or $ here.

I purchased a Mango Green Tea with crystal boba. At 0% sweet it was still pretty sweet, so I'm glad…read moreI got 0 sugar. The tea flavor was bold, and the crystal boba topping was generous. I was surprised to see a scripture reference on the seal. As for the tiramisu, I tried the classic as well as the mango tiramisu. I wished the mango had two layers of ladyfingers (the spongy part) like the classic did; instead, the whipped cream was 2/3 of the layers instead of 2/3 being ladyfingers. The classic was great though, no complaints. I'm curious to try other flavors next. Service was quick as there was no line. There is one small table outside for seating.

This spot is a bit of a mixed bag--I love the tiramisu, but can't say I recommend the drinks. I…read morestopped by several hours before closing, but they were already sold out of almost half of the drinks menu, so my ordering was limited. It's a very small shop, and you'll most likely have to take your order to-go or scout for seating elsewhere in the plaza. I fully vouch for the ube tiramisu! It's a really cute dessert with a lovely smooth ube cream, and the Biscoff crumble pairs well with the nutty ube flavor. I am interested in returning to try their other tiramisus. Unfortunately, the drinks I tried (namely their cold brew latte and Hate My Boss signature) were not great. The coffee to milk ratio in the latte wasn't great, and the Hate My Boss tasted primarily of sugar, even at a less-sweet specification. I will say that I think their business is focused on its desserts, with their drinks as a sort of side attraction. Their drinks are on the inexpensive side, I'll give them that, but not so inexpensive that I feel like I can excuse their shortcomings. For what it's worth, the service was great, their store was clean (albeit a bit cluttered), and their desserts are tasty, so I can recommend it, but only for their desserts.

This spot is a takeaway counter only and shares the space and kitchen with Mayan Kitchen. You order at one of the electronic touchscreen screens and wait for your order. There's a rewards membership program here with Toasttab too. My review of the pork belly jianbing: Very flavorful and filling. The pork was sliced in thin slivers and marinated in a sweet and savory sauce. There were crispy wonton skins and cilantro in the filling too. The crepe wrapper itself had a chewy and pliant mouthfeel. Passionfruit tea that came with the combo was a bit sweeter than I'd prefer, especially since the pork belly marinade was already sweet. But the iced tea was refreshing on a warm sunny afternoon. I would come back to try other filling options for their jianbing when I'm in the area. Current price in August 2026 for Jianbing is $16.95, add an iced tea for $3 more.

I thought my classic jianbing was salty, I would remove the spicy sauce next time. Thai tea was refreshing and did a good job of keeping me up that night, haha. It seems like they are the same business as Mayan Kitchen, which took over their old storefront. Unfortunately, the new Ktea Cafe storefront faces the packing lot and is next to where other businesses dump their trash. Not a pleasant walk over if you are coming from the other side of Murphy.

I want to believe this is a healthier alternative to milk tea! They also have regular milk teas but…read moretheir avocado smoothies seem to be the popular choice. I've tried a few of their avocado drinks, and I have to say, they're super addictive. The Avocado Chia and Super Avocado were both delicious, reminding me of a creamy, sweet avocado yogurt smoothie. The oat popping boba is a nice alternative to regular boba and adds a great texture to the drink. I say it's a must add to your drink, trust me you won't regret it. I'd skip the Strawberry Dafuqin, though. It reminded me of strawberry milk with a bunch of toppings, and I didn't get much of the oolong tea flavor. My only complaints are the wait time and parking. They get tons of online orders, so drinks can take a while to prepare. Plan accordingly if you're stopping by! The plaza is also small, so parking can be a challenge. There are about 5-6 tables for dine-in, and you order through a kiosk, so there isn't much to say about the service. Overall, I hope they open another location closer to or in San Francisco!
