When you're there, you can order at the kiosk when or at the counter if not busy and can ask recommendations which they will be glad to help you decide. The drinks were amazing and delicious.

The space is super clean. Love the simple decor and there's is seating…read more Order at kiosk or at the counter. Jasmine milk tea with boba ($7.15), comes in a large 24 oz cup.

I've been to Haiku Teahouse for so many times I honestly can't even keep track anymore, but one…read morething is for sure, I'm a big fan here. Their drinks are super legit. There's one I always recommend to my friends, which is the corn einspanner. You have to try it. It's so good in a weirdly comforting way, like it fixes something in me every time I drink it. Maybe it's because it tastes exactly like corn milk - the kind I used to have for breakfast back in Vietnam. I also really like their matcha. It's strong, high quality, and honestly their cream foam is one of the best in the Bay Area. Super smooth and not too sweet. I've never had a bad drink here. Everything is consistent which is kind of rare these days. If you're around, you really should check them out.

Second time is a charm!…read more This location is easy to miss, and parking is hard to spot (you need to park in the residential area). Once you go in, you need to order at the kiosk like typical drink spots, and wait accordingly. When I went on a Wednesday morning, it was pretty empty, which might be great since it does have some tables to work from home and do homework! It is also bit on the quiet side, which is another pro. , The first time I went to Haiku, I did not enjoy the drink I got (which I do not remember what it was), but the second time I went, my friend and I ordered an Obsidian Hojicha latte and their Banana cream top hojicha, and it was amazing! Their hojichas have a very deep flavor profile that I have not experienced with other shops yet, and I would be interested to know what powders they have used. I definitely want to come back to try their guava matcha :)

Very happy Heytea opened a new location in North SJ area. You can smell the tea aroma once you get…read moreintp this location. The interior is pretty spacious. Their tea is excellent and very refreshing. This place is pretty crowded. Expect a wait for your drink. Great drink is worth the wait.

I'd heard a lot of people rave about this drink, so I finally gave it a try. It definitely has a…read morestrong kale flavor, but the aftertaste reminded me a bit of kiwi. I like that HeyTea offers a healthier option to balance out their other drinks. There's usually a line, but ordering through the app makes things so much easier! You can skip most of the wait and just pick it up when it's ready.

OK, the first time I tried this place I got the fruit tea and honestly wasn't crazy about it. It's…read morevery tart and sweet. I had to go home and dilute the crap out of it (I got 80% sweet), but the tartness was too much. Then I tried their Taro milk (I usually get this at another spot and it was closed) and it is SOOOO Good. I'm definitely coming back for this again and again. You order via their tablets or if you're having a hard time, there is also someone at the front register to assist. Clean, fast, efficient! Tried the thai tea cremebrulee drink too. It was good but very creamy.

I've been here twice now, and unfortunately this visit was a disappointing experience. I decided to…read moretry something new--the Lychee Berry Smoothie--but it didn't turn out well. While I generally like strawberries, the strawberry sauce in this drink tasted off. Not sure if it taste bad because it's near the end of the day. I noticed a sign stating that if you're not satisfied with your drink, it can be remade. So I politely asked if they could remake mine without the strawberry since that was the only issue. At first, the employee told me they couldn't remake it without strawberry, which was confusing given the posted policy. I explained again that the strawberry tasted bad and pointed out the sign. Only then did she agree to remake it. Everything else about the drink was fine, and I wouldn't have asked for a remake if the strawberry sauce hadn't tasted spoiled. The interaction just felt unnecessarily difficult and left a bad impression. It was upsetting to end my day with this kind of experience. Honestly, this place isn't my favorite to begin with--I only came because my boyfriend likes it--but after this, I probably won't be ordering anything for myself again.

We were at Frank and Furter's next door and stopped by to grab some boba. Went with my usual…read morebaseline order -- jasmine green milk tea with boba -- since it's the easiest way to tell how solid a shop's tea really is. We upsized to the large, which was massive, definitely shareable. The tea itself tasted fresh. We asked for 50 percent sweetness, but it was still way too sweet, so I let the ice melt a bit to balance things out. Overall, a decent drink but nothing particularly impressive. It feels like many places lean on extra sweetness to mask an average tea. The boba, though, was nicely done: fresh, chewy, and lightly sweet. Overall, a solid 4/5.

Drinks/food: 2 out of 5 Our avocado smoothie had no sugar…read moreeven tho I ordered regular sweetness. It also had a lot of ice compared to avocado smoothies from other places. Could barely taste the avocado. The drinks are very ordinary - nothing special. My fruit tea tasted like a bunch of syrup and water with ice. Tea scent wasn't too fragrant. Service: 1 out of 2 Service here is horrible. The girl at the register wouldn't even take my order. It seemed like she was busy but the place was pretty empty. I wanted to order an additional item in addition to my pick up. I ordered both food and drinks. The food - large is not worth jt at all. You pay more but the portions are barely distinguishable. The box is slightly bigger but it's not as if the food is being filled to the brim or anything. The food is kind of pricy for the amount you get. Ambiance: It's small - barely any room. Overall, not much to write home about.

We were again in search to find a boba shop on my way home so I decided maybe try the Happy Lemon…read moreon my way home. I've been to Happy Lemon in the past in other locations so I know it's good in general. L O C A T I O N Although this Happy Lemon is located off 680, it's kind of hard to get to and you can miss the entrance to the plaza. I had to drive around twice to finally get into the plaza. Just be careful and slow down even though Capitol Ave can have some crazy drivers. Parking is plentiful and it's also next to a Popeyes :) I N S I D E There was a good amount of seating on both sides of the building. And they do have a restroom for customers. M E N U Happy Lemon is known for its lemon drinks as well as their puff drinks. The puff drinks are definitely a dessert. Hefty. What was quite shocking was the price of the toppings were $1 for even boba. When did just a black milk tea with boba start at almost $8? I had to clasp my pearls. But you know what, it's fine, I'm donating to a local-ish business. How was my drink? It was milky and tea-y and delicious. So I guess I'll just enjoy my $8 drink. And who doesn't love a drink that's winking at you? S E R V I C E I ordered from a tablet/kiosk and paid by card easily. Apparently they updated their app so I had to reregister my email to get points. I guess it's been a while since I've gone to a Happy Lemon. Drinks came out in no time at all. O V E R A L L Although the price was a bit shocking, the quality of the drink is there so I don't mind paying it. I like a creamy milk tea so it was delicious. It is a little awkward to get to this place. But it's nice to have another option on my way home.

Literally the only coffee I drink…read more If you know me you know I live life as an uncaffeinated lady. I rarely have caffeine, and if I do it is mostly matcha/chai. For me to have a coffee means it is excellent. 7 leaves is excellent. The first time I ever had 7 leaves was in Los Angeles. I don't know what branch but it had a drive through, which was lit. I was with my aunt and uncle who know I don't drink coffee, and they peer pressured me into getting a house coffee. I am so grateful they did . Creamy, sweet, with the salty cream top. Absolute nectar of the gods. If you hate sweet coffee this is not for you. But if you are an aspiring diabetic in terms of sugar consumption, then this place is heaven. I was so happy to get my signature- house coffee with boba. The boba is tender and good quality. Not the best boba in the world but solid. The coffee, ohhhh the coffee. It literally brought me back to life- I had been awake since 1 am for my fuckass day of travel and quest to get to California to get yelled at. If you're on the verge of a crash out, get the coffee. You'll probably still crash out but at least you have a delicious drink.

This is the first 7 Leaves location in San Jose that opened about 7 years ago!…read more I frequently mobile order from here during work hours. As always, their mobile app ordering system is fully functional and easy to use. You can order with Apple Pay and rewards points. Stopped by to do some work on my laptop on a weekend afternoon. The furniture has shown signs of wear and tear in comparison to the other locations. Most tables are rocky and have pieces of paper/cardboard to stabilize it. Countertop stools are missing from the counter area. Sprayed graffiti on the window and sticky caramel spillages outside the entrance were not cleaned up. Store has more of an ambiance to hang out with friends. Music choice wasn't disruptive. Not really a good place to do work in comparison to other locations due to noise level of other guests. There's also 4 Wi-fi networks to choose from and none of them worked except for Berryessa Square, which was super slow. Staff was friendly and quick with service. Drinks are consistent with other locations. Will be back for just picking up drinks. There's better locations to go to for working on a laptop.
