    The store is located in the Safeway and 24 hr CVS Shopping Center, next to Valerio's City Bakery. Service: Cashier was friendly, patient, and polite. Welcoming all customers who came in. She also explained the sizing of the Popcorn Chicken and the Fried Calamari Heads. They both came in a sizeable snack paper bag. Hong Kong Style Milk Tea - I chose not to get boba. I know...isn't that the point to see if their drinks or boba is any good!?! The tea was good, but it didn't have that familiar HK Milk Tea taste. Next time, I will get a drink with boba. Fried Calamari Heads - deep fried, crispy, and tasty. They are lightly tossed with yellow onions. Your choice of Mild, Spicy, Super Spicy. The portion size is pretty good, so it's highly recommended to share it with people who like the calamari head/tentacles.

    Popcorn chicken

    The inside had no AC and it was during one of the heat wave days but still bearable. The Pandan coconut was refreshing but jelly was super long it got stuck in the straw. We ordered chicken too and it was ok. With other boba tea options in the area not my go to but if I'm in the plaza I would maybe try different drinks.

    Came here for the fried calamari. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon. They have the calamari heads and the chef P fried calamari. I got the personal size chef P calamari: 5 stars of crispy deliciousness. It was so yummy with my spiced vinegar. It was enough for 2-3 people which is perfect so I don't eat it all. Lol. $12 which is a good price. Also got the ube waffle: 4 stars. The texture was so good a lightly chewy with light sweetness that makes you keep wanting to eat more. I will comeback for more calamari and maybe to try their drink/desert

    Ava Avocado Bliss

    Tried their Ava Avocado Bliss and it's pretty good. Friendly staff. Simple and relaxed decor that I decide to sit in to enjoy my avocado bliss instead of taking it to go. Did not try any of the milk tea but judging from the avocado drink I'm planning to return to try milk teas and the waffles. They sell Chef P's calamari, not as good as getting them from actual store.

    Hong Kong milk tea

    Walked in because it was next to where my family was getting lunch. Walked in and the place was pretty empty and quiet. The cashier helped me decide what to order. My drink was good but the plastic they top their drinks off with did not open when I tried puncturing with my straw. I ended up having to peel the lid and part of my drink spilled out. Definitely a downer on the experience. I ordered the Hong Kong milk tea with boba. The inside is cute and clean. Not sure I'd go back as the drink was nothing out of the ordinary to me.

    Ice Milk Taro Delight
    Shih Fa K.

    I have a mental list of the handful of places in the south bay that still make drinks from fresh taro, and I am happy to add SimpleTea as one of them. Ordered the Ice Milk Taro Delight with Taro mash, Coconut milk, Honey boba, Mascapuno strips, Milk, and Shaved Ice. I really enjoyed the combination in this drink. And the shaved ice added a super nice touch. Service was friendly and accommodating, and the ambiance had a nice simple decor.

    Pandan Waffles
    Aaron M.

    One of those spots that will always stay in my mind if I'm on a drive and I pass it or in general thinking about wanting a treat. Had to come back from my last visit to try the food and the coffee. The food is phenomenal and it tracks due to me enjoying their drinks so much. Pandan waffle here is worth every dime at this local spot and what is unique to this spot is the waffle whipped cream!! Crispy perfection. The Thai coffee is well crafted, not overtly sweet and I left the spot feeling really happy. Workers here are fast and super kind. Always a well rounded experience here.

    So yummy

    I was craving milk tea as my mom had to pick up something next doo. The lady who helped me was so sweet and so kind. I had made it to their very first opening. I was drawn to the keropi matcha can and she informed me there was one cold can left. I couldn't make up my mind on what I wanted. My mom came in and I asked her if she wanted any. She saw calamari for about $6. I think the owner/manager came out and said they didn't have anymore but they can make some it's going to take awhile. He said it's so good fresh it's crunchy. We agreed and the. I finally made a decision to get the Dalgona and pandan mochi waffle. I highly recommend this place they are so nice and the food/drinks are great!

    I swear, Simpletea never disappoints with their excellent customer service, amazing drinks, and great food/snacks. They were doing a pop up today and tomorrow in honor of Lao New Year and it definitely did not disappoint. I got the Lao sausage and I'm a huge fan! I haven't had Lao sausages in a while and the last time I had it was back in the city so having this today reminded me of my college days. So nostalgic! The sausages were perfectly spiced, not too salty and not too spicy and when dipped into the sauce and eaten with the cucumber, it just blends so well. Then washed it down with my Hong Kong milk tea...AMAZING! Next thing on my list to try would definitely be popcorn chicken and the pandas waffles! I definitely cannot wait to come back! It's hard to limit myself when I live so close!

    This place was closed for a few months due to remodeling and reopen again though there seems to be a lack of enthusiasm with so few reviews that Bro and I came by this morning after picking up our orders at Jade China which is right next door. We were greeted by a young cashier she was very helpful their menu selection consist of specialty drinks, smoothies and snacks prices seems reasonable I had the Vietnamese iced coffee and Bro had the Thai tea both 50% sweetness without the toppings comes in one large size cup price at $5.95 some places they charged a dollar more usually one of them high end boba shops. We noticed they do have several merchandise like key chains and adorable carried on thermo containers. The place is quite small though room enough for dine-in no outdoor seating. Ample parking not too crowded best to come by early than later in the day. Would come by again quick service and the drinks were simply refreshing!

    Coconut pandan, Oreo cookie cream smoothie, both very good
    Terri M.

    It isn't a typical asian tea shop. They have their own creations. I was disappointed they don't have matcha. I got the pandan coconut drink without basil seeds and it was very tasty. Not overly sweet. My daughter ordered the oreo shake which was pretty good. My daughter slurped it down. It cost $16.30.

    Their cream on top of their drinks is good. I usually get black tea with cream on top but you can…read moreopt for the green tea if you like that more. Their puff cream milk tea is good but you might want to go 75% sweetness if you don't want your drink too sweet. The matcha mango is also good and the mangoes they use in it has not been sour so far. Tiramisu milk tea is also great but I would get it at 75% for sweetness level.

    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.

    Tastea came in clutch today! After having dinner at McDonald's, my 2 year old daughter announced…read moreshe needed to use the restroom right as we got to the car. Knowing how toddlers are, I rushed her back to the lobby door, knowing McDonald's had already closed their lobby. After a couple minutes of knocking and pressing the service doorbell, no one answered, leaving me no choice but to cut a car off at the drive thu window. After pleading with them to let her use the restroom considering we were just in there a few minutes prior, they refused to open up the restroom, claiming it was closed for the night, no exceptions. I explained to them that she is stating she cannot hold it much longer, and they refused to budge and told us to kick rocks and take her somewhere else. So I ran across the parking lot, and luckily, Tastea was still open. The staff was in the middle of closing procedures and explained their bathroom had just been cleaned and was technically closed too. But after I explained the situation, they let her in anyway, and she made it just in time. I want to give a huge shoutout to the staff at Tastea. It was late, their bathroom was already clean and closed, and they had every right to say no. Instead, they chose to do something simple and human that a billion-dollar company wouldn't. Thank you.

Bro and I came by on a Wednesday morning and were were greeted very warmly. Placing an order is simply by using one of two self- service kiosk no cash. Bro and I got the Thai iced tea and Bro had the blueberry Passionate both 20 oz size extra ice light sweetness. Prices are far more reasonable than some of its competitors. Interior space is quite limited though there's an outdoor seating and ample parking lot.
