Creamy milk tea with Japanese pudding. 0% sweet. All the time every time! Don't sleep on their matcha drinks either. So....my advice get more than one and save it for later! read more

I gave this place a try because they have a unique variety of drinks and toppings combined with great deals. Unfortunately, I rather disliked my drink. I got a plain milk tea with soy pudding and it was very floral. I love floral tea but this tasted a little off. I do have friends that appreciate their other drinks so i'll give this place another try! Parking was easy. It's located in Paloma plaza. read more

Date: Friday, February 6th, 2026 What: Boba Delivery Ordered Thru: DoorDash DoubleDash Time Placed: around 3:15pm Arrived: about 30 mins later Neighborhood: Evergreen *Black Tea ($10) - Less Ice, 0%, Boba, Grass Jelly, Soy Pudding *Service Fee ($1.99) *Estimated Tax ($0.94) I was getting lunch thru DD. Decided to add a tea to it. I actually wanted almond pudding, but didn't see a spot with it. Saw this place had soy pudding, so figured I would try it. I am about 4 miles and a 12 min drive away. I actually haven't had dofu fa in quite some time. This was basically that in black tea with grass jelly and boba. I enjoyed the nostalgia of it. The boba was soft and chewy, The grass jelly herbally and silky. One mistake I made, the soy pudding could use some sweetness to cut into that curd flavor. The tea strength could have been stronger for me, Otherwise, I enjoyed my beverage. Good if you want a soy pudding. REVIEW #3981 read more

This is one of my go to soy pudding drink spots. Then again.... I don't know of any others anywhere else. Somehow I always end up going here when I'm in the area. This happens to also have the best pandan waffles in San Jose. They come out fresh crunchy and chewy. read more

Gotta love Soyful! Ordered the #5 Combo 75% sweet which is soy pudding with pandan jelly noodles and boba. This tastes like taho/dau hu nuoc duong minus the ginger and it's not warm. The pudding tastes like delicious silken tofu, combined with the varying textures of the pandan jellies and the chewy boba, this is SOO GOOD and it's all covered in sweet coconut cream. Absolutely recommend and it's even good the next day if you don't finish it. read more

Parking: They are in a plaza but the parking is always PACKED because there's a bunch of popular eateries here. You will drive around a bit for a spot or resort to street. Interior: a few tables to dine in or combine for large group. Wait Time: 10-15 min for 2 drinks since they were running their BOGO promo and had a lot of people ordering Items Order: 10/10 Banana Matcha $8.5 - My favorite Bana matcha by far in the bar area. Their banana is super natural, adds intense creaminess, and banana flavor is well balanced with the matcha. 8/10 Egg Coffee $8.5 - Egg cream is solid, semi sweet, and adds creaminess to the viet coffee base that was strong and authentic. Overall a good drink. 7/10 Tamago Matcha $8.5 - there was nothing special about this. would pass 7/10 Milk Tea + Egg Pudding $6.5 + $1 - same as the above. not sure why people hype this drink up on their other reviews Drinks overall were 4/5 stars but deducting due to: Service - went for their BOGO promo x3. 1st and 2nd times I mixed and matched drinks. The 3rd time I also mixed drink orders and the cashier took my order as normal but when the order came out wrong (they made 2 matcha drinks) manager told me their policy has always been BOGO on the same drink only. Refused to do mixed BOGO even though cashier took my mixed drink order and did not mention this policy until I already waited the 15min for the wrong drinks. read more

This place feels like a Vietnamese chè spot first, with matcha and boba added on as an afterthought. The tofu itself was surprisingly a little salty, which threw me off, and it wasn't cold enough for the amount of ground ice they give you, so the balance felt off. The matcha was not good. Bitter, astringent, and tasted like very low-quality powder. Definitely not for matcha lovers. If you're ordering, I'd point people to #1. It's labeled milk tea, but it's really more of a milk-flavored drink with soft tofu than an actual milk tea. Still the safest choice. The #8 combo had too much going on, lacked texture, and landed in an awkward middle ground where it wasn't quite a dessert and not really a drink either. read more

Checked out Soyful Desserts at their Silver Creek location after always missing out at their Story Road spot. Finally got a chance to see what all the hype was about. Soyful delivers on authentic chè and creamy milk teas that hit the spot. - Soy Pudding Combination -- served with brown sugar syrup and coconut milk, topped with pandan jelly, boba, red bean, sago, basil seeds, grass jelly, and Japanese pudding, plus a layer of shaved ice. This is their #2 drink and it's packed with toppings. A classic Vietnamese dessert that's both refreshing and nostalgic. I loved the texture contrast, especially the jellies and shaved ice - Creamy Milk Tea -- their #1 drink. Thick, smooth, and super creamy. Personally, it was a bit too sweet without customizations, so I'd go less sweet next time and definitely recommend adding pudding for an even richer sip There are a few tables and seats inside, and the service was fast and efficient. Ambience is open but can get busy during rush times and when they're doing deals. The plaza gets pretty busy since it's home to a bunch of popular Vietnamese spots. Soyful has also hopped on the matcha wave and started offering banana matcha drinks. I've seen them doing BOGO deals recently too. Looking forward to coming back to try more! read more

Soyful hits every single time. Definitely one of the top 5 milk tea places for me in the bay. I always get the creamy milk tea with egg pudding and it's such a treat. Not super heavy either and doesn't leave me bloated. Good tea flavor, nice creaminess from egg pudding. read more

Drink: 3.5/5 Got their new specials at 50% sweetness but it was still wayyyy too sweet. Tasted like a 100% to me. But I love the pandan jelly texture and the combo. I think I would like their matcha series more. Will try that next time. Service: 5/5 Very friendly and polite staff. I'm giving an overall 4* because of that. Ambiance: very tidy and have some tables for people to hang out. read more

Simple no thrill boba shop. Drinks all all yummy and creamy. My favorite is the coffee with extra sea salt and the creamy sago drink. You can't go wrong at this place. Oh I forgot, I also love the soy drink with sago. It reminds me of the desert I get in Taiwan. read more

Soyful Desserts never disappoints! This spot is tucked inside a plaza, and while the parking lot can get a little busy, there's usually parking available nearby if you don't mind a short walk. The shop itself is always clean, bright, and bustling with customers. The staff are friendly and efficient, even during rush hours. I've tried a few of their drinks, but my go-to favorite has to be the #5 Pandan Boba. It's the perfect balance of flavor. It is not too sweet, just right. It comes with soy pudding, brown sugar, coconut milk, pandan jelly, and boba. Every sip is creamy, refreshing, and perfectly satisfying. Definitely a must-try if you stop by! read more

Been my go-to for banana matcha the past couple of months! Everything i've tried here is really tasty. I love how they've been having different drink bogo deals that you can mix and match, they keep me coming back! The banana matcha is great, they use real bananas and the matcha is to my liking, and has been super consistent with flavor. It has the perfect amount of sweetness, and it comes in one size. The egg cloud matcha is really good too, the top reminds me of cake batter! Staff have been kind, and drinks come out within 5 or so minutes on a regular day. To note: - There is seating inside - Parking can be tough on weekends, as the plaza is pretty popular! read more

Came here for the August BOGO free banana matcha deal (the second drink doesn't have to be banana matcha). Got the banana matcha and azuki matcha. I think both were really good, but the azuki matcha is a classic combo that can't be beat. For the banana matcha you do need to really mix your drink before drinking it as otherwise you get only hints of banana and lots of matcha flavor in each sip. The azuki matcha is a wonderful blend of flavors from the get go. Service was pretty quick, even though they're pretty busy with the August BOGO deal! It's a bit far out of the way for me, but definitely would stop by again if in the area read more

Haven't been to soyful in a while so had to stop by after eating lunch in the area with my friends. We all ordered the creamy milk tea ($7). I got 50% sweetness and still thought it was too sweet. It did taste like melted vanilla ice cream though. The first few sips were good but I got "tired" of it after a while. Overall decent, but I would prob go for their pudding desserts the next time. read more

It's pretty good! I came for the Bogo banana matcha and it was actually solid. The matcha is nice green and there was a good balance of matcha in the drink. I would say though it would be nice to be able to adjust the sweetness and it was a bit in the pricer side. It was definitely worth with the bogo. Service was good and fast for surprising how crowded it was and there is no self service kiosk. read more

Came for the BOGO deal in September and tried the Egg Cloud Matcha and Banana Matcha. Both were good as drinks, but if you're looking for strong matcha flavor, it's pretty light. The Banana Matcha tasted more like Korean banana milk than matcha, while the Egg Cloud had a better matcha profile but the egg foam reminded me of pancake batter. Overall, fun spot for a sweet treat drink. Staff were kind and the menu has a lot of other Vietnamese desserts I'd come back to try. read more

One of the best banana matcha in the bay. The store is located in a very busy plaza, so it might be hard to find parking sometimes. The decorations are simple and clean, nothing too crazy. The server was nice and friendly, she helped us with the promotion that they had at the time too. Now on to the best part, their drinks. The banana matcha was so strong in flavor and smooth with the texture. The banana tasted real and fresh, and the texture was so smooth and creamy. However, the banana flavor wasn't overpowering the matcha at all. You can feel and taste the matcha as you drink. The perfect balance of sweetness, texture, and flavors. I didn't try their other items yet, but totally would come back to try more! read more

I loooove the creamy milk tea!!! I got 75% sweetness and it was the perfect amount for me. It's still sweet but that sweetness brings out the flavor and depth of the drink without being too painfully sweet. The worker was nice though I wish she explained the BOGO before we ordered as she heard us talking about it but it's fine because I preferred the creamy milk tea over a brown sugar drink. It's chill inside as well, would've stayed to chat with my friends if we didn't have plans after getting our drinks. read more

Every time I visit San Jose, I treat myself to Soyful Dessert. I usually go to the Story Road location, but this time I stopped by for their buy one get one matcha deal and I'm really glad I did. My order came out surprisingly fast, especially since it was pretty busy. I LOVED the banana matcha and my fiancée enjoyed his egg matcha too! The only thing I wish is that their coffee menu was easier to see inside. I probably would have ordered something else too if it had been more visible. Still, it's always a treat when I'm in town and I'll definitely be back! read more

BOGO Banana Matcha lattes till the end of August! Server told us we can order one banana matcha the and 2nd one can be any flavor. We got banana matcha and the egg cloud matcha. Additionally, got the creamy milk tea and panda waffle. Banana matcha was pretty good. Their banana cream tasted similar to a banana that has gone too ripe. The matcha tastes is on the bitter side. The egg cloud had a nice eggy flavor and mixed well with the drink. Creamy milk tea is indeed creamy. Has an interesting taste I've had somewhere else before but can't recall. Pandan waffle has mochi like filling. Slight crisp on the edges. Would come back for the creamy milk tea. Matcha is worth a try especially with the BOGO deal but multiple stores in this plaza offer matcha lattes. Super congested plaza on peak times and parking can be hard. Has limited tables and chairs inside. Considering the name of this place with a soybean thought they would offer soymilk here. read more

Soyful Desserts is located in Paloma Plaza. This plaza's parking is crazy during peak hours. They used to offer inside seating pre-covid, now, they do not, so it's a takeout place only. Ngoc was super friendly, polite, and helpful. I am not sure if she was an owner. Though, she said this place was connected to the other Soyful Desserts in the Viet Town on Story Road. Creamy Milk Tea and added soy pudding. I got it 50% sweet and that was really good. The soy pudding was not sweetened at all but added a texture to the creamy milk tea.

Still my go to boba and milk tea spot after all these years! Everything is always consistent, every time I get a drink. I always go for the Creamy Milk Tea, with egg pudding or soy pudding. I don't drive down there often anymore, but I get it whenever I can! At my last visit, I noticed they're offering matcha now! I got their Banana Matcha as well for the next day, and the matcha is definitely high quality. Everything is affordable and love supporting a local favorite. They also have a solid selection of Vietnamese desserts if you are in the mood for something else. Service is quick and efficent. I wish they would offer seating and games like other boba shops, I would bring my friends down here more often to hangout. read more

They ran out of pandan by the afternoon, which was a bummer.. otherwise, I ordered the red bean and it was amazing! I ordered 75% but could def get it less sweeter next time. Highly recommend!

Came by for some dessert on the way home and stop by here. They had a buy one get one deal so we were able to both pick our own soy desserts. There wasn't much of a line so it was pretty quick but when we got our order, we noticed that one of ours was missing Boba. After we asked about this, they were able to fix it pretty quickly and we were on our way. Once we got in the car, though we noticed that there wasn't much ice, which I guess is the preference of some people, but it was room temp so yeah.. I tasted good but I think it would've been better with ice. read more

Stopped by Soyful Dessert for their BOGO free matcha drink deal and was pleasantly surprised to learn you can mix and match any of the matcha flavors. We went with the banana matcha and egg matcha -- definitely a steal for the price! That said, the matcha itself was very strong. The amount added made both drinks come out more bitter than balanced, which honestly made them tough to get through at first. The saving grace was that as the ice melted, the drinks mellowed out and were much easier to enjoy -- I actually finished mine the next day once it had diluted more. All in all, great value for the promo and fun to try different flavors, but I'd probably ask them to go lighter on the matcha next time. read more

Stopped by Soyful in San Jose for their BOGO matcha drink deal and I'm so glad I did! I tried the banana pudding matcha and it was amazing -- super rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The banana pudding flavor blended so well with the matcha without being too sweet, and the texture made it feel like a dessert in a cup. Definitely one of the best matcha drinks I've had in a while. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors! The service was pretty great every time i went, I did witness someone wait 12 minutes for their Che but I didn't ever see anything wrong, there used to be no chairs at this location when I went i during the pandemic, but now there is seating and pretty good music playing :) read more

Recently tried Soyful for the first time during their bogo promotion. The staff was kind and remained calm despite chaos. We ordered two matcha banana lattes, one whole milk and the other with oat milk. My boyfriend and I preferred the oat but they're both good! I don't find it overly sweet and the banana doesn't taste artificial. You do have the option to adjust ice, but it'll yield less drink. At the time of this promotion, it took about 27 minutes to get my drink. There were roughly 13 parties ahead of me when I ordered. We killed time at the nearby Target, so waiting wasn't that bad. I believe they retroactively changed the BOGO from BOGO matcha banana to buy one and get any drink free. Overall, great experience and drinks! read more

Aside from the busy parking lot, the inside is cute and the drinks were very tasty. I ordered a creamy milk tea w/ pandan jelly (the name definitely delivers! Nice flavor with extra creamy texture that paired well with the pandan jelly which was not very sweet) and a coconut matcha. The coconut matcha was a pleasant mix of matcha tea and coconut juice and a nice flavor alternative than some other matcha-themed competitors on the same row of suites. I'll also say the standard drink size justified the price :) staff was also kind and patient, and answered questions with grace. All in all, I'll definitely be working this spot into my boba rotation. read more

I love coming here for their creamy milk tea and coffee foam usually. Although this visit, they put more foam than usual (past that cup line)...and the coffee sweetness itself was too sweet to my liking. Hopefully it's a one-off thing depending on the worker, but usually good here. I like their other location better, but they do have odd hours so I come here at times. read more
