    Halo Halo
    Kristine S.

    Finally got to the try the halo halo and it was just okay. I still prefer the traditional halo halo. Ordered on kiosk and there are some seats. But my friend and I got it to go and walked around the mall. The ice melted quickly so it was watered down. Nothing to special about it.

    Blueberry Cheesecake Matcha Ice Blended Mango & Passion Fruit GT Coffee Ice Blended Ice Cream Peach Kiwi Tea w/ Aiyu Jelly Hokkaido Pearl MT
    Stephanie L.

    Out of the six drinks I tried, the blueberry cheesecake was definitely my favorite. It's one of their new seasonal specials, and the blueberry flavor really stood out. The cream paired perfectly with it, just like an actual slice of blueberry cheesecake. The drink overall was bold and flavorful. The two fruit teas were solid choices too. The peach kiwi reminded me of the peaches from fruit cups, and the mango passionfruit green tea was refreshing and just as good. The matcha that they used for the matcha ice blended had a weird after taste, so I didn't like the drink. The Hokkaido milk tea was very light & watery, so those drinks were not good. The staff were super friendly, but it's hard to flag them down if you need something, since they're in the back.

    About a five minute line and it moves quickly. However there is only one ordering kiosk and with the variety of drink and pastry choices and ability to custom each drink, a second kiosk would help. There are a few seats but no tables to sit and chill. The two drinks we ordered satisfactory but nothing exceptional.

    Strawberry Coconut Ice Blended  Crystal boba 30% sweetness level (extremely sweet!)
    Allena C.

    We were walking around the mall and after a salty dinner, I was thirsty! I wanted something that was non-caffeinated and it seemed like all the tea shops only had caffeinated drinks except for Sharetea, so I thought to try them. It's a nice looking shop with soft lighting. The menu is posted on the wall too. I went up to the kiosk to place my order for a strawberry coconut ice blended drink and added crystal boba with a 30% sweetness level. In retrospect, I should have ordered no sugar at all! 30% sweetness level was EXTREMELY sweet! I even diluted it with nearly a can of sparkling water after the ice melted to make it less sweet! But I don't think I should have to add anything to a drink to make it better. 3/5

    It has been awhile since I've had Sharetea, so I decided to order one of their signature drinks which is their QQ Family Milk Tea. This was my first time at this location. I like it because of all the different toppings in the drink. There was a kiosk available near the counter and even had a first time customer promo for quite a few drinks! Ordering was fast and efficient. My order was ready within 10 minutes and it wasn't that busy on a Friday afternoon. The drink was exactly the same as what I remembered. It was milky yet refreshing. I loved the boba, red bean, lychee, and caramel pudding, especially knowing that I didn't have to pay extra for all these toppings. Would recommend for those who are in decisive when it comes to ordering.

    sharetea is a decent option in the mall but tbh it's not really up to par with all the higher quality boba in the area. they have lots of options which is nice, but their tea is lacking in flavor. i would recommend their fruit teas over milk tea. kiosk ordering is convenient and orders come out pretty quick, so not a bad option if you just want something simple while browsing!

    The newly relocated sharetea in valley fair is still bad news in terms of product quality, hidden cost and uncomfortable crampy seating. Their promotional items were mediocre, don't order it thinking you'll save a few cents. They tasted bad with overloading sugar. Hidden cost- main reason I was not happy about: all milk tea products were made of non dairy creamer, if you want real cow milk or other alternatives, e.g. almond or soy milk, you have to pay extra. WT? Since when does boba tea become so sophisticated? The portion of pastry - Oof, the miserliest piece I've seen, might as well be mistaken as dog treat. It wasn't even good either. The $2 purposefully half-cut Costco styled pastry falsely advertised on screen as full size was a dissapoitment. My boba drink after paying additional $0.75 for almond milk just because I wanted a change was Meh. Seating was not comfy. Skipped.

    Handmade Taro w/ Fresh Milk

    This place was alright. The drink came out fast and there is seating inside. The portions are very large. But nothing special about this taro boba tea, it tasted artificial and hurt my stomach after a while.

    One of the OG boba spots straight from Taiwan. Sharetea has been around before the whole crema craze blew up, and their Crema Wintermelon is still my go-to. Smooth, not overly sweet, and that salty-sweet crema hits just right. They've got a self-serve ordering machine up front, which makes things super convenient. I also signed up for their reward program--why not? Free drinks add up fast. Two employees behind the counter were cranking out drinks quickly and efficiently. No fuss, no wait. This location sits right under the food court, so it's an easy stop if you're grabbing a quick sip after a meal. I do miss the little knife they used to give you with crema drinks--the proper way to enjoy it without a straw. Now it's just the usual straw drill. $6 is pretty standard for Bay Area boba nowadays, and the shop has a warm, bright, and clean interior. Solid spot for a reliable fix.

    Located inside valley fair mall in Santa Clara this boba tea is a clean place with fast service and a great way to relish some boba cravings. I strongly recommend to take a pit stop when tired of shopping :) . Other food options available too.

    I got the strawberry fresh milk with boba. It was okay, not the best I've had. The strawberry did not taste too good. I don't think I would repurchase.

    Really lovely little coffee shop that leans into that industrial warehouse vibe in the best way…read more The coffee was great--I ended up trying both on-tap cold brews on the day we went because I didn't realize that buying a bag of whole bean coffee came with a free coffee drink. With some coffees a second cup will give me a stomach ache (especially since I drink my cold brews black and bitter like my soul), but I had no problems with their cold brews! I also got the vegan stonefruit scone (baked by Sweet Dragon) and while a little on the dry side (common with scones), paired extremely well with the coffee and had good flavor. Husband got a cappuccino and a strawberry mini pie and was extremely pleased with his order. The service is friendly, but some things may have been new on the day we went. They almost forgot my cold brew until we asked at the counter, as well as stating that they didn't have anything to heat up my husband's strawberry pie (which seems odd, since a little toaster oven seems like a simple fix for that), but apparently it was fantastic at room temperature anyway. Seating was absolutely full when we got there and we were lucky to snag a table as another couple left, so it seems like a popular Saturday morning spot. Several folks were working on laptops, and it seems like a kid-friendly place. The decor is a clean and modern/trendy industrial style, which works well for the space, and the windows provide nice daylight. Overall, a good coffee shop and I am really happy to see vegan pastry options! My husband is getting into pinball, which was part of the motivation to come out and try Chromatic, so I am sure we'll be back again next time he wants to hit up Slingshot (in the same building), and I look forward to the coffee and treats!

The seating area is quite limited for the large crowd it attracts, making the atmosphere inside feel a bit chaotic at peak times. Fortunately, the baristas are super polite and work fast, keeping the long lines moving efficiently. The coffee menu and the retail bean selection are both impressive. I decided to try a dulce de leche coffee. While I was expecting a strong caramel profile of dulce de leche, the flavor turned out to be fairly subtle rather than prominent. It added a significant sweetness, but without knowing the order beforehand, identifying the exact flavor would have been tough. That said, the coffee itself was still refreshing The high quality of the coffee bean really shone through, delivering a rich aroma and the ideal caffeine kick for a breezy morning. Great coffee beans and fast service make it worth dropping in, even if the indoor seating situation is a bit tight.

    After dinner, we found ourselves on the hunt for something sweet. As we were walking by Cafe Maiko,…read morethe matcha-themed menu immediately caught our attention, as none of us can resist a good matcha treat. Originally, I was planning to order a matcha latte, but one person in our group was craving ice cream while another wanted tapioca. Thankfully, we found the perfect compromise: a matcha soft serve topped with tapioca that managed to satisfy everyone's cravings in a single order. I was pleasantly surprised by how bold the matcha flavor was. It had a rich, authentic matcha taste without feeling overly heavy or bitter, and the soft serve itself was smooth and refreshing. The tapioca was another pleasant surprise. Even sitting on top of the ice cream, the pearls remained wonderfully chewy rather than hardening, which is something I've experienced at other shops. Overall, it was a simple treat that really hit the spot. If you're a matcha lover looking for a refreshing dessert, Cafe Maiko is definitely worth a stop.

I've enjoyed a few of their specialty seasonal drinks but those have never become core menu items. I am talking some really great items like mango matcha's, strawberry matcha's, lavendar latte's etc that I have thoroughly enjoyed but their core menu is not something I ever want to order from. They have really great stuffed croissants but those are also seasonal! My office catered pastries from here once and I still think about the spinach and cheese croissant we had alll the time! I have never seen it in their case though. And while they are really great, ~$8 for a pastry is highway robbery. Parking here is very difficult and I think most people who come here live nearby enough to walk. You gotta hope to get lucky with some street parking as they have no designated parking areas. I've had several odd cashier interactions where I am met with blank stares and no dialogue as I order. Today took the cake, however. When I ordered, the cashier looked at me confused. I picked up their menu and pointed to the item one I wanted. The cashier had to come find me again after placing my order to confirm it again. They have a seasonal chai listed and 'can be made into a pumpkin chai by request.' There was confusion around it coming with a shot of espresso and because my stomach has been completely wrecked since I had it, I think the they must have put two shots into my drink. In the past 5 hours, I've used the restrooms 4 times and eventually projectile vomited. I don't drink coffee often and had this in ONE sitting. I realize this is a unique experience as I do not drink espresso often but wanted to share so you all understand how strong their coffee is and seeing as how its across SCU, it DOES make sense why so many people come here. Upset is the least of what I feel right now and can confidently share I will not be back. Shits fucked up. No pun intended

    I have frequented Blue Bottle at Santana Row since it opened, typically once or twice per month…read more Not a regular but also not a first timer. The coffee and service have been excellent, until today. First, my coffee order was lukewarm- which is not a problem to complain, just correct-- to which I asked barista to warm. She said she couldn't warm but she would make a replacement. At that point I asked "You don't want this back, do you?" holding up my cup. She said she didn't if I wanted to keep drinking it. About 3 minutes after the interaction, while she was making the replacement another barista told me that if they were going to make a replacement coffee it was policy for customer to exchange the coffee that was not up to standard. I was surprised so I asked her to repeat that. After she did, I surrendered the coffee, without comment. I was with company so I did not make a point to argue. I thanked the barista for making the replacement and she said to avoid issues ask for the coffee to be "extra hot" at the register. Frankly, I have ordered coffee at this location many times when the coffee was too hot & I needed to request a coffee cup sleeve or 2nd cup to avoid discomfort. But I have no problem asking for extra hot coffee. The bigger issue is that when I returned to complain that I had never being asked to exchange or surrender a lukewarm or incorrect coffee in order to get the proper replacement and that it is not good business, I was told the policy was to let customer make the decision whether they wanted to give the coffee back-- unless it was the discretion of the barista that the customer just wanted more coffee. The implication was clear-- the barista didn't think the coffee was too cold but instead that I just wanted 2 cups to myself. This type of judgement is ridiculous. What I wanted was to wait for a hot cup of coffee. So what if I was drinking the cold cup while I waited. Was it that important for you to throw it away? My response given this new information was "I will never order here again, but I love Blue Bottle so I'll be going to Los Gatos, not that you (supervising barista) would care about losing me as a customer." Then the cashier spoke up and said, "I'm sorry the cup was not hot but it sounds like you like the cup at Los Gatos... " so I may as well go there, to paraphrase his full comment. That was unbelievable to hear. The supervising barista continued that the information would be shared with the manager "downstairs"-- and I asked their name, as well. Regardless to say, I always tip the bill. And it's not a cheap cup of coffee. But I've always felt it is 100% worth it. However now I'm left with my feeling that not only the initial response but also the treatment of my complaint has been disappointing. Because where I order coffee is an experience rather than simply a transaction and that I like to go where I am appreciated rather than incorrectly judged, I am more than disappointed. The impact of being disappointed by one of my favorite coffee shops is really a bummer that makes me want to not to buy Blue Bottle there-- or at any other cafe or through subscription (which I also pay for 3 freshly roasted bags per month).

This is the drink we always order whenever we visit this place. We also tried the Double Matcha Melon Matcha, which was good, but I still preferred the guava matcha. My husband likes the Melon Matcha better though. The Vietnamese Coffee was very strong for me and on the less-sweet side. The Pandan Latte wasn't really for us either.
