    I came for their BOGO matcha drinks. It was alright, the drink was quite bitter for me even after stirring it up, only the banana pudding matcha was not bitter

    Coconut matcha was very refreshing. Even had coconut meat. The Creamy milk tea was sooo good with egg pudding too! Just needed extra ice and it would have been perfect!

    Soyful Desserts, the OG. It has stood the test of time with many competitors around every corner. It's just a walk up window to order from. They do offer a couple of tables and chairs outside to sit down and relax. I really like the Japanese pudding here.

    Soyful is one of my go-to boba spots in San Jose! Tucked along Story Road, it might not be the easiest place to find parking but honestly, it's worth the hassle The service is always friendly, though it's usually just one person working, so things can move a little slow during peak hours. Still, they always take their time to make the drinks right, and I appreciate that. Their Creamy Rose Milk Tea is one of my absolute favorites -- smooth, floral, and not too sweet. It's one of those drinks that keeps you coming back. The menu isn't huge, but they focus on doing their drinks well. If you're looking for a chill boba spot with quality drinks and don't mind a little wait or hunt for parking, Soyful is definitely worth checking out!

    Soy desserts have a special place in my heart. I've had all different types across Asia and you just can't go wrong with one. The soy tofu pudding is the perfect vessel for any creative topping you can think of. I like Soyful desserts. There are not many stores like this one around anymore. Causal. Quick service. Please come and create your own experience.

    The parking situation is usually more packed on weekends if you want to go. You can't really go into the store. It's more of a walk-up window where you can order and receive the drinks from, but there are surrounding seats and tables to sit on. There's one person working there, and they were pretty nice, and they came out with the drinks quickly. We ordered a: - Creamy Milk Tea (4/5): More creamy than tea taste. The only way I can describe the taste is if you've ordered an 'ice cream black tea' from Gong Cha, but with a creamier, custard-y taste. - Coffee Foam (5/5): Has a thicker texture compared to the Creamy MT. My boyfriend says that it has a very strong coffee taste, saying it's both bitter and sweet at the same time, and prefers the creamy MT more. I think I'd prefer it when I make coffee, though I tasted a creamier, milkier flavor than coffee.

    I ordered the pandan waffle. It was okay. I felt it lacked the coconut flavor I'm used to. The banana matcha was good. It would be great if there were an option to request less sugar. The only option was "standard". Service was fast and friendly, and the boba shop is clean with plenty of seating to enjoy a drink with friends or family.

    The drinks are super sweet. I feel like I was straight up drinking sugar syrup. Even after adjusting the sweetness level, it was still very sweet.

    place is tucked in the corner and is very small! you can miss it with ease. my cousin lives there #1 and always buys it when we're in the area we arrived in the area around 5:25pm and checked to see if soyful desert was open. luckily we had 5 minutes before it closed. instead of parking at the dinner spot, we drove straight to soyful dessert. no body was at the front and 3 parties including myself stood there for a few minutes. one party left and the other (man in front of me) rang the bell A LOT to finally hear a woman say coming! (in a sweet voice) he placed his order then i placed mine. $7 dollars later i have a medium size #1 with egg pudding. i was never asked what size, so maybe they only have one size? just know just have every short working hours. monday - closed tuesday to friday - 2pm-6pm saturday to sunday 12pm-8pm i have no idea how they're still up and running when typically people work 8-5 on weekdays. their sign literally says to go to the silver creek location if you want longer hours. that's just wild. but they're managing i guess so it works for them.

    It's my first time coming back here in years and they have some of the most slept on drinks in the bay. I always order the Creamy Milk Tea and add Japanese pudding to it. That drink is definitely top 3 in the Bay. I heard the Hong Kong milk tea is good too so I have to try this out when I find the time to go to Vietnam Town. There's only outdoor seating, there's not much of a good view and there's limited tables.

    Soyful has been one of my favorite boba spots in San Jose, but all of a sudden, it's just my favorite now! San Jose is saturated with boba spots; sometimes, they all taste the same, depending on what you get. I was in Vietnam Town for Thanksgiving and stopped by Soyful to have my girlfriend try it. We ordered at the window and ordered their classic Creamy Milk Tea with Japanese pudding. The Japanese pudding gives the milk tea some nice texture, and I don't feel the need to add boba, too! I don't know how to describe the drink, but it's perfect. This could be a drink for nonmilk tea fans or people unfamiliar with boba drinks due to the perfect sweetness and milky taste.

    I haven't been here in a few years since before COVID but I randomly thought I'd give this place a try again the other day. This place is a small outdoor stand by Bình Minh. This place was just as I remembered, the Creamy Milk Tea with egg pudding is a go to along with their tofu drinks! The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because the boba was kinda hard and they weren't chewy. Along with that there's only one person managing so it's kinda slow.

    A small, tiny shop located in San Jose's Little Saigon. It's pretty interesting because this Soyful is located in this super small area on the side of the block. Very fast, very efficient, and the drink that I got was yummy. I honestly don't remember what I ordered but the drink was this milky dessert drink with jellies, boba, and pudding. It looks like a mouthful, but it was pretty good. It honestly was a bit too sweet with 50% sweet but I'll definitely ask for less sweetness from that. But overall, I loved the textures in the drink and I genuinely enjoyed what I got!

It makes me want to come back for more, specifically their BBQ Tater Tots. (I was pretty surprised that there wasn't much hype on here, Yelp. Along with there not being an option for it on DoorDash, so I really hope & wish that they could add it through online ordering). But besides that, their popcorn chicken & potstickers are delicious too! (They should definitely add the potstickers as an option on DoorDash as well! ) The drinks are very yummy too! You're able to adjust your sweetness level (30%, 60% and 100%), along with adjusting your ice levels (regular, less or none - with no additional charge). Their toppings are soft & easy to chew, really love their grass jelly topping here~ For my DoorDash experience, I have ordered drinks from here before, and as mentioned earlier, there was no option for their BBQ Tater Tots, which would have been nice to have. However, I would love to thank the staff there because I selected their Jalapeño Cheese Curly Fries before writing in the notes about wanting the Tots instead, along with paying additional bacon (just in case of the price difference), and they were very generous enough to call me immediately to confirm my choices. It was very efficient & it was very sweet of them to go out of their way to make sure.

My favorite is the kumquat sugarcane juice. The kumquat adds a bright, refreshing note that keeps it from being overly sweet with just a hint of sourness.

It does cost a bit more to get it without ice, but we opted for that since I cannot finish it in one sitting and it keeps better in the fridge this way.
