I ordered two vietnamese coffees while I was at the mall. Boba was a bit gooey but the coffee was strong for the Ethiopian . Typical $5 price for each drink but Id be curious to try their other milk teas. It took about 20 minutes after placing an order through yelp for pick up. read more

I had just moved to the area and wanted to check this place out after going to the Cinemark Theater around the corner in the mall. A friend told me they offered a 10% discount on drinks if you show them your movie stub so I did just that. Unfortunately, the server / clerk I dealt with (Katie) was incredibly rude and unprofessional. The drink was nothing to write home about either...likely because Katie left such a bad taste in my mouth. It's likely they pay minimum wage here so the staff is entirely made up of high school students with no customer service skills needing to make a quick buck. I usually do not call out rude employees by name but Katie's name was indicated on the receipt which included a tagline encouraging me to leave a Yelp Review...so here we are. Other than that, this is basically your typical Boba Tea Café with some Asian-styled snacks sprinkled in...and rude employees to boot. I doubt my review will make a difference as this place is probably set in their ways for life and will continue to employ inexperienced young-ins who just need quick cash for a month or two before moving on to another odd job. Still, I will NOT be coming back. read more

Their drinks are pretty affordable and fairly good for the price. You can get a drink they already have or make your own. I made a peppermint milk tea and asked for extra peppermint and they made it perfectly. The cashier was super nice too! I'd come here again read more

Yet another tea place has found its way into the mall and I couldn't resist. I promptly walked up and being my usual indecisive self, I asked for a flavor suggestion from the friendly cashier. He recommended the Jasmine Milk tea with Rose. I'm easy. I said yes. I asked for less sweet and it was done. No pearls for me-- I just wanted to enjoy the milky goodness. It cost $4 and he handed me my cup. After piercing it with my straw (which is my favorite part because I love getting to stab the plastic cover), I took my first slurp. Yup, it was good. Not super sweet, the rose lightly flavoring the Jasmine. Their milk is also non- dairy.. Perfect for my lactose intolerant self. read more

Love the drinks here! And friendly staff ready to help! They also have Uber eat ordering ahead so you don't have to wait in line

My favorite boba to get in San Jose. I've been getting my boba here since they opened. I live all the way across town and I go out of my way to get their drinks. The staff is super friendly, efficient, and effective. My go to drink is a passion guava green tea with boba. It's always super refreshing! Highly recommend! read more

I ordered the mango strawberry peach smoothie with no extra toppings. The drink was good but for $8+, it was quite expensive for a standard size smoothie. You can choose to order through their kiosk but I ordered with the staff since I wanted to use the Yelp discount. The wait was about 10 mins before I received my drink. Normally this would be a long wait but I was chatting with friends at the mall so it didn't bother me too much. read more

Shake Tea also sells japanese pastries, candies(hichews), mochi, edibles, coffee(hot/cold), bubble tea, teas, etc. drink: taro milk tea(3.35) -slight taro flavoring, not overwhelming artificial -just average drink, taro drinks usually a lot worse. drips: -milk teas can have 3 flavorings (passed, imagined flavor conflicts) -friendly, quick service -drinks made behind plastic partition. read more

The prices are super affordable and the drinks we ordered were extremely tasty. My favorite is definitely the Rose, Strawberry and Peach black tea. One of my favorite things about the place is that you can get as many toppings as you want and being someone who loves boba, I take full advantage of this. The service is always great - each of the workers I've met thus far have been friendly and enthusiastic, but I'll go ahead and make a point to say that one of the girls really stood out. Jenna not only made sure my drinks were made correctly, she gave me some great feedback for new drink combinations - and she did it all with a genuinely good attitude. My only complaint was the size of the cup. I wish they offered more sizes or at least a bigger standard cup. Getting more than one topping ensures that you'll have more boba than tea! I look forward to coming back here again soon! read more

This place is new to Oakridge mall and surprisingly pretty good! Located by Sears and across from Anderson Bakery, this venue is on the corner. There are a few tables and chairs in the middle of the aisle for customers to side and enjoy their drinks at but definitely not enough. I've been here twice. The first time I ordered a Blueberry Strawberry Smoothie with Honey Boba. I really really liked it ! The boba were very soft and chewy, and the drink had a nice consistency that wasn't too sweet. But this time, I decided to try a "Create Your Own Tea", and I ordered a Passion Fruit Green Tea with Honey Boba (my go-to at any new tea place). I also ordered another Passion Fruit Green Tea with Lychee Jelly for my momma (her go-to). This time the drinks took a while before they were ready, but that didn't bother me too much. My mom's drink was made with Honey Boba instead of Lychee Jelly, and the girl who made it apologized sympathetically for her mistake. After coming home and testing both mine and my mother's drinks, hers was much sweeter than mine. I was pretty upset about that because I shally prefer my drink sweeter, and she prefers it less sweet. My mom's comment when I asked her to make one is "these Lychee Jellies don't fit up my straw" Overall, minus one star for lack of consistency in the sweetness of their drinks. I definitely think this place beats the Tpumps crave by price, speed, and taste! read more

Shake Tea - Two Passion Fruit Green Teas, one with Honey Boba and one with Lychee Jelly - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

so I happened upon this milk tea shop while wandering around Oakridge Mall. I was thirsty n didn't feel like getting a latte from Starbucks in the food court. they have a Yelp buy one get one free discount so I might as well try it. well, now I know not to buy any from there anymore. the service was good. I got my teas fast. I ordered a regular milk tea with red bean n got a regular milk tea without pearls for free. both tasted very bland. just very watery. there was definitely more tea than milk. (I like a 50/50 ratio or something close to that.) plus the amount of red beans wasn't that much. usually at other tea shops, the amount of toppings they give is a little more than 1/3 a cup. so definitely not going back for more of their milk teas. the only saving grace for this tea shop r the interesting Asian snacks u can find here. (c pics.) I didn't even know they have Sriracha flavored kettle chips! that was mind-blowing. I bought some red bean mochi. they weren't freshly made but still good. I will probably go back to buy the Cheesecake Kit Kats next time. read more

surprisingly good & tastes like tpumps !! haha there's also a yelp check-in BOGO deal rn !! (of equal or lesser value) I got the customized milk (black) tea, mixed 3 flavors of rose, honey, and peach w/ honey boba - it was pretty damn good ! My friend got the sea crema black tea and really like it too. Each drink was about $4.30 including boba. I like the similar Tpumps concept of mixing flavors (you get to choose up to 3), and the drink wasn't overly sweet, watered down, or anything. also big kudos & thumbs up for the greenware drink cups, yay for being eco friendly (: there's a big (asian) snack section to the side, pretty cool. also right next to Potato Corner & Anderson Bakery to grab food! overall, good addition to Oakridge mall ~ read more

I'm a real big fan on the crema type drinks so I decided to try it out. Disappointed that there's only 3 options - pineapple black tea, lychee green tea & mango matcha. I decided on the lychee green tea w/ boba & egg pudding. Was very surprised on how good it was. Not too sweet & very refreshing. Egg pudding tasted kind of odd, I'm not sure how to describe it, kind of like from a can I suppose but the boba was very good. The crema is a little too sweet for me, I like more of the salty types of cremas. But nonetheless the tea was good read more

Shake Tea - Drank most of it lol. Lychee green tea crema w/ Boba & egg pudding - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

The price is $3.97 for a signature milk tea. I order green tea with aloe, Boba, and grass jelly. They are cheap on the topping. For all that topping I order, there was barely any in my drink. The tea taste like sweet sugar milk. I couldn't taste any green tea at all. This is my second try here and I must say that it is not for me. Too sweet and not enough topping. read more

Shake Tea - Milk tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Surprisingly very good!! I was pretty skeptical about trying their tea. I ordered a passion fruit tea(black tea) with passion popping boba and it was sooo good to say the least. It was a bit sweet, but with a little bit of ice it was diluted into perfection. The gentleman working the cashier was extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely be making the trip here just for their tea. read more

Shake Tea - Passion fruit with passion fruit popping boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Just an average Milk Tea joint that is located in the Oakridge Mall. If you want something quick and simple, then you should come here. They usually have 2 samples in the front that you can try if you are super indecisive like me. (A milk tea and a green tea). Shake Tea is pretty cool, because they sell other packaged snacks and goodies. They even have those spicy instant noodles that are all the rage. (Spicy Noodle Challenge - look it out). I usually stop here if I am really craving a drink as I am endlessly walking around this mall scavenging for some good deals. Overall, pretty decent for "mall" milk tea. read more

I always get this when I'm at the mall. You really can't beat the BOGO with yelp check in. I usually get the lychee passionfruit frappe and grapefruit green tea. I save the 2nd one for later. They will even put the boba in a separate container for me so it doesn't get soggy when I drink it later. read more

My daughter wanted to a drink form this place and the girl in the front got the order wrong. So she told them in the back that i didn't want it with milk. So then the girl in the back made another one but i seen throw the glass clearly paying attention to the girl drinking from the same cup that was given to my daughter before she sealed it with the plastic and gave it to her. So I ended up throwing it away in the mall and buying another one in a different spot in the mall. Never again going to this place knowing what they did. Disgusting. I know I wouldn't even bother taking the time to get my money back because all they will do is say that they did not do it at all. Nothing that i could of dune. read more

Their new drinks menu (tutti fruity) is a must try, especially the passion guava w/peach bits. It's a cupful of refreshing fruitiness that I would not get tired of with just the right amount of sweetness. Their honey boba is still consistent with quality. I have yet to try their signature frappe but their pictures sure look good. :) read more

We always go here whenever we go to the mall. It's pretty refreshing. I just wish they offered more drink sizes preferably a bigger one lol since I'm always left with wanting more. read more

This is my family's favorite boba spot. We have been going here for years, they have great, friendly service. Their shakes and smoothies a personally one of my favorites and their drinks are affordable. Definitely give them a try you won't regret it read more

Ok, this place is unique. The reason is they have RED GUAVA bubble tea, as well as all the fruit flavors you could get in California, believe me ;) . I really loved red guava tea so much. Next in my checklist is hazelnut, because it's interesting. Guava flavor is so clear and yum and honey boba is good too. You can customize sweetness and ice. So, overall recommended. Buy a boba drink here and shop on! read more

After walking around the mall, I wanted to get a refreshing tea so I decided to check out Shake Tea. The menu is pretty diverse, and even lets you build your own tea (green or black) and finish off with flavored syrups + toppings. I ordered the Guava with peach bits drink, which was essentially supposed to be a tea slushee. The drink itself wasn't too sweet, and I particularly liked the peach chunks as the toppings. My big complaint was that the "slushee" was a bit hard to drink due to the hardness of the ice chunks. I had to chew on tons and tons of hard pieces of ice, and it didn't feel like a real slushee with soft textures. It may have been the drink I ordered, but the guava tasted a bit too artificial. The service was very friendly, and they even have a small section of snacks if you're craving Asian candies and crackers. I'll probably try the build your own tea option next time around. read more

Stopped by for a drink in the middle of doing damages to our credit cards over this past weekend. We were just going to grab a jasmine milk tea to share but realized that you get a free signature drink with a purchase of a tutti frutti or frapp when you check in on yelp. So, we ordered a passion guava with peach bits tutti frutti and got a free jasmine milk tea. win win! I asked for super strong tea in my jasmine mt, but ended up getting milk with a dap of tea. Surprisingly the tutti frutti tasted better but it was a little too sweet for my taste bud. Next time, I'll ask for less sweeten. Overall, I wouldn't recommend coming here for a Jasmine MT, or any of the MT unless you can redeem the check-in for a free MT drink then why not? read more

Shake tea is almost like a Tpumps, mixing multiple flavors and customizing your drink and what not. Which is fun, don't get me wrong, but the drinks taste, literally like water. I had a rose strawberry milk tea and it straight up tasted like rose water. There was no essence of milk or creaminess, or a tea taste. I wish I could give more stars but it really wasn't my cup of tea. I hope they fix that soon. But then again who knows! I've only been here once, maybe I should've gone with the regular milk teas. I'll give Shaketea a try again next time. Great customer service though! I appreciate that. read more

If you love crema this is the place to get , first time coming here and saw it on the menu I had to try it. I got the black oolong for my husband and I got the black tea crema and it's not that bad I actually like it, I will come back when I'm around this area visiting my friend. The tea flavor you can really taste that flavor and crema on point to me just right creamy and sweet goes with with the black tea put together. read more

Shake Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Welcome, Shake Tea to the SJ boba games. With so many milk tea places in San Jose to choose from, this place for me fell slightly under or about the same to tapioca express, which is what I usually compare boba places to just because it's the most popular, average standard place people usually are familiar with. However, definitely the best within Oakridge Mall! Located near potato corner and Sears, this place not only serves milk tea, smoothies, some coffee drinks, and creama drinks, they also have an arrangement of Asian chips and snacks, from the well known Hello Panda's to Asian snacks that are so Asian that their names are in symbols I can't read. Props to bringing these snacks to the mall! The service was friendly and rather quick. I ordered the mango matcha creama with honey boba and mango pudding. I think it's cool that with whatever drink you choose, you get to choose up to 3 toppings that come with it, other places normally charge you extra for more toppings. The creama here isn't salty like gong cha, but it's more comparable to like whipped cream. The drink was pretty interesting because it tasted like matcha while sipping it then would have an after taste of mango. The honey boba was really soft, but didn't have much honey flavor to it. read more

Friendly staffs. It's right next to the playground. My tea stop at Oakridge. They also offer kids friendly (caffein free) drinks for kids. Check out their BOGO Yelp deal! read more

Came here on a Wed evening, the place is pretty much empty. It's located across from Anderson Bakery. The gal that helped us was friendly and accommodated my kids' silly request. Not sure what to order so I asked the gal to recommend. She said her Creama series are popular and suggested me to either get the black or green tea. I went with the green tea Creama and 50% sugar. Their Creama actually very tasty and has that buttery texture. Not bad at all for a small tea place inside a mall. read more

First time here (they just opened a week ago) and I highly recommend this tea, coffee, and Asian foods shop. I asked for an iced Americano with hazelnut syrup. Although it's not on the menu yet, they were happy to make it for me! The manager or owner (I'm guessing) let me know she made it with two espresso shots and 3 pumps hazelnut syrup, and asked for my feedback. She kindly offered to remake it as a single at her suggestion, which is perfect for me! The price was very reasonable and the drink is very good. Definitely coming here over the overblown coffee chain shop whenever I'm at Oakridge. read more

Tea,Bob,milk drinks fresh fruit shakes......and yes I saw unusual Kit Kats offered as well! This place is efficient,reasonable on price and the New 2015 version of the 1975 Orange Julius once in the mall! It will survive here and do well. There's piles of combination drinks both Asian and Euro Ameri-Asian.everybody loves this kind of place,assortment and speed if your movieing you can jam in and out of! I highly recommend! read more

Just got the passion fruit guava green tea- so delicious! This is going to be my new favorite tea place in the mall. Quick and easy service. Also tried the strawberry smoothie- it was so good! read more

We were walking around the Oakridge mall when we both decided to get some boba. Shake Tea was right in the mall so we decided to stop there. At first, we only wanted to share one boba drink, which was the classic milk tea with honey boba, but upon checking in, we received a promotional offer where we got another milk tea for free! We had to customize this one though, so we decided on a peppermint green milk tea with honey boba. The cashier was a really nice girl who allowed us to use our promotion even AFTER we had paid and ordered already, so that was really nice. As for the drinks, we really liked it. The milk tea had a slight roasted flavor to it and the boba had the chewy, sweet texture we were expecting. I was pleasantly surprised by the peppermint and how much I enjoyed it. You taste more of the tea though with just a hint of mint. While Shake Tea is great, we can't say it was one of the best we've had. Another con, was that they didn't have egg pudding as one of their toppings so my hubby was a little bummed about that one. Considering how I like shopping so much, we will most likely come back here again. read more

Decent tea with really soft boba. It's great to grab while walking around the mall. I ordered a mango smoothie with mango jelly and a milk tea with boba. read more

Got the Oreo frappe and it was delicious! They also had a deal going on, buy 4 get 1 free.

There isn't really anything special about this place. They have pretty standard drinks all in one size. I got a pomegranate blueberry black tea, which was apparently supposed to be sour, but it was way too sweet for me. The boba wasn't bad, though, so I'll give them that. I also tried a smoothie, which tasted like any other smoothie I've had. This place is an okay place if you don't have any other options for drinks, but I personally wouldn't come back. read more

After getting a treadmill in the mall, I wanted boba (I am on a kick this December). We happened to pass by and sure why not? My milk tea was decent, but the hubs got the winner: Green-Orange tea with Pineapple bits. We don't usually end up near Oakridge, but will stop by here again! read more

In LOVE with their honey green tea! Not too sweet and I can taste the subtle jasmine favor. Honey boba was amazing. Wayyyy better than Tpumps. Not to mention that they have a large selection of Japanese snacks. Friendly staffs, quick service. Will definitely come again. read more
