Excellent place! We just tried it for the first time. We got the PEACH smoothie with boba. BEST one we have EVER had! No exaggeration. And the pineapple mint tea (very good). Service was quick. Prices are fair. A great place to meet up with friends; sit there and drink up. read more

Star Tea has been my go to boba shop in Gilroy for the past few years. The drinks are good, and I've always enjoyed coming here. I'm a huge fan of boba pearls, so I ALWAYS order double boba with my drink. I have no problem paying the extra charge for it. Unfortunately, I've had two separate experiences where they couldn't make my order because they didn't have enough boba available for double boba. Both times, I ended up leaving empty handed because that's the whole reason I came. As a customer, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a boba shop to have enough boba on hand, especially for customers who are willing to pay extra. This seems like a preventable inventory and supply planning issue. If I were managing the store, I'd want to make sure we never ran out of our main product. After today's experience, I've decided I won't be returning. It's disappointing because this used to be my go to spot, but this has happened one too many times. read more

Tried the Banana Mocha drink. It was delightful on a warm day. Service was relatively quick (about 10-15 mins) despite being there during busy hours... would love to return to try their various drink options. read more

I've been craving matcha around the area but all other milk teas shop do not offer quality matcha. Found Star Tea and I can tell the matcha is top quality. No grassy taste! Drink made with enough sweetness to still taste the matcha. Highly recommended to try if you are passing by or around the area. read more

Smoothies are gas. I got a pina colada with coconut jelly. Fast service and no line. Will be my go to when in the area.

The smoothies here are AMAZING. So refreshing on a hot day. Also tried the egg coffee and it was good

I was craving milk tea after going through caffeine withdrawal in Gilroy... this shop was not it. The tea just tasted so gross due to not being brewed well, and they tried to mask it with sugar. I'd save your money and drive the extra hour to San Jose. read more

A pretty cool spacious Boba spot definitely you got the family with you. Definitely worth checking out. They got some games inside to kinda enjoy yourself while you're sipping on some Bobo or smoothie. I went here with my daughter. She really really enjoyed eating. We played some Uno. It's a good family time a good time to put the screens down and enjoy each other. Service was great. The guy gave us some good recommendation on Boba. read more

Great local boba shop! Friendly staff and fast service. They have the best premium matcha in town -- honestly the best I've had so far. Recommendations: Matcha Strawberry, Creme brulee Brown Sugar, Viet Coffee, and Strawberry Mint Tea. read more

Love Star Tea! It offers the best prices in town, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. The place is very clean, and you'll enjoy the fresh bobas every time. Plus, the quick service makes it a great spot to stop by. They also have salt-free snacks available, making it a welcoming place for everyone. read more

I came in for a tea as it was 90 degrees but didn't know what to order. I asked the employee, phat, what he recommended. He suggested the melon smoothie which was perfect. This is the first time I have tried a melon smoothie but it definitely hit the spot. Will be back! Thank you! read more

It was a hot summer afternoon and we all needed some boba to cool us down. We were in the area of Gilroy so Star Tea popped up. It's located near the outlets. There's plenty of parking. The spot wasn't packed at all. Right when you enter there was a fooze ball table that customers could play. They also have jenga too. Plenty of seating inside as well. What we ordered: -honeydew smoothie with boba -taro smoothie -cantaloupe smoothie with boba -honeydew black tea with boba -popcorn chicken I'm a big stickler on the taste and texture of boba balls. These are first weren't too firm (I'm more of the firm and sweet type of boba gal) i don't like them soggy and not sweet. If you let the bobas sit in the smoothie they do get firmer and I really liked that. All in all the total came out to $32 which isn't bad for 5 items. The drink size all came the same size which was like a "large" in my eyes. I would def come back again if I'm ever in the area. read more

My favorite local boba spot! The strawberry smoothie with boba is my go to and as much as I love to explore different drinks, this is the one i always reorder. The mango green or black tea is super delicious as well! The restaurant is small, about 3-4, 4 seater tables and they have a foosball table. They now have kiosks to order from but you can still order in person. read more

I've been coming here for a couple years now, In the picture I have posted we have a Thai Tea with coffee Jelly, Two Mango Smoothies with Homey boba and my go to is always the Chocolate Smoothie with extra boba, sometimes they don't always have the boba for the extra but that's okay since the drink itself makes up for it! I love that it's super rich in flavor and tastes amazing if you're trying to settle that sweet tooth! The location is very Low Key and never too packed as far as parking but somehow always filled with customers! They have a foosball table that my fiancé and I always love playing while we wait for our drinks! The establishment is always kept clean each time I visit and very comfortable seating and some modern decor! The staff as well as the owner are always present and very attentive, kind, and quick with the orders! Will always be a returning customer here. read more

Big fan of their cute logo haha. Popcorn chicken was good. My pregnant friend got a second order. Honeydew drink was not bad. I usually don't get these kinds of drinks. We walked over here from the Gilroy outlets in search of a snack. read more

3.5 stars Nice to have a boba shop near the outlets. Ordered strawberry milk tea and it wasn't on the menu but they made it for us. Tasty. Solid. Overall good but not the best. I hope that plaza turns around. Would be nice to see more shops open there. About 1/3 of the plaza are vacant! read more

Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Boba - 8/10 I was hoping that the coffee flavor would be stronger as most Vietnamese coffees usually are. But overall, not bad and would probably order again. read more

Boba texture is more mushy and not chewy nor sweet, flavor of jasmine tea is okay though. Service was nice but didn't ask for sweetness/ice levels. They have 4-5 nice tables to sit at and a foosball table read more

Needed something sweet and refreshing, this was around the area so why not check it out! Parking: Plaza parking with other eateries and businesses. You shouldn't have any issues unless it's a big event. Seating: COVID-19 protocol so it seems like they put their furniture away. If not then inside seating for small groups/pairs. Feels: The spot is in the Gilroy plaza so there are a lot of stores and eateries but very few boba spots. The spot itself was simple and clean. Pictures of artsy stars and what sounded like K-pop music. Before COVID-19, seems like a great spot to hang out with a friend or take a quick shopping break. FOOD: Melon Boba Slush (Recommend) Cold, refreshing and sweet! The drink was fulfilling and not too icy. Boba was soft and chewy. I appreciated this drink especially during a hot day. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Solid. Friendly and quick with the service. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Great selections, reasonable price, and delicious food. It's a solid spot that I would recommend others if they need their boba fix. Tips: * Not only great for drinks but they have light snacks and food as well! read more

Bummed they don't have the split cup anymore!!! I was really looking forward to it. Ordered a Vanilla Chai Milk Tea with Almond Milk. Chai is very strong, but it was still good! The boba itself was average, didn't carry much flavor on its own. Staff were friendly and service was quick! read more

Very aesthetic looking and has a fun foos ball table as you enter the shop. We were greeted as we walked in and both workers weee very nice. I asked for drink recommendations and was asked if I like coffee or tea and ended up ordering Vietnamese Egg Coffee x2 and Strawberry and Strawberry Banana smoothie for the kids. Coffee tasted great and was nice and creamy. My only complaint is that I cannot get a larger size! Very yummy and will definitely come back. read more

The brown sugar boba and the mango one was just as good as I remember but omg! The price was way more than I remember. I would love to give it 5 stars but the price was like 8 dollars for each drink! Wow! I know inflation, but I think the last time I was there my drink was like 5-6 bucks lol. read more

Excellent service! I got the strawberry tea, and it was probably the best drink that I have ever had. This place is a MUST TRY guys.

When I tell you this place is good, ITS GOOD. My sister and I devoured these drinks under 7 minutes. Cute lil shop or whatevaaa. So good, so delish. read more

Yummy popcorn chicken! The green thai tea is so good. With very little boba options in this area, Star Tea does not disappoint. It is a family owned establishment (im assuming) so be patient as it is only two people working at a time but it's worth it. read more

Personally I didn't expect to find good boba in Gilroy, but I'm not here often and maybe don't give the town enough credit! My Orange Kiwi Green Tea was perfect, well-flavored without being too sweet. They let you customize the sweetness of the drink and even at 25%, but our drinks were good. Our Oolong Milk Tea was also perfection. They have a couple new-ish games: Connect 4 and Jenga, and randomly also lots of jars of Unicorn Slime for kids to play with. read more

It was my first time ordering from here and I got the taro milk tea. Staff was nice and quick with my order! I asked for half sweet but it still tasted super sweet. This was my first time ordering so maybe full sweet must be even sweeter. If you don't want too much sugar I would ask for 25% sweet. Even though my drink was sweeter than expected, I still give them five stars because the drink was still tasty, and the staff had great customer service! Don't get thrown off by the price. I thought it was pricey but the standard size is a large (24oz). read more

Picked some boba up and the guy with the hat and little Dino on it needs to learn how to be more polite and patient with his customers. He needs to change his tone how he speaks to people, especially if we are not so experienced in the Boba world , like chill out. I witnessed him speaking impatiently to 3 other customers besides myself. read more
