Somewhat wrong decision and kind of regret not going further out. The boba didn't really had any taste to it, kinda of chewy but was a hard chewy idk, it didn't please me at all. Onto the drinks; Kids got the Oreo milkshakes which were good, they liked it. It wasn't pure Oreos, you can taste like a chocolate powder was added. Our friend got the mint chocolate chip milk shake and he said it was ok and that it somewhat tasted like Starbucks lol Myself got the Thai milk tea and I didn't like it at all. It was watery tasting, not milky at all. Asked for less ice but they gave me no ice. It's the worst Thai milk tea I've ever had. Hubby got a jasmine milk tea which didn't tasted like jasmine, more like a rose milk tea instead. He's an avid jasmine milk tea guy so he knows what he's tasting. And lastly, the parking lot seemed kind of ghetto with homeless guy sitting right in front near the store the time we went.

The employee at the counter was very nice and welcoming, and I appreciated the friendly service so much that I left a tip. The inside had a cute setup and fun decor. The shop was decent overall, but could have been a little cleaner. We ordered the popcorn chicken and drinks. The popcorn chicken was about a 7/10 for me. It was more on the sweeter side than savory, so it really depends on your preference. If you like savory chicken, it may not be your favorite. I got the Blue Galaxy drink, and I probably wouldn't order it again. It tasted more like grape, and I was expecting something closer to blue raspberry based on the name. My husband's strawberry slush was better, and I enjoyed his more than mine. Next time, I'd try a different drink since the menu has a lot of options. Overall, it was still a positive first visit because of the friendly service, fast turnaround, and cute atmosphere. I'd come back to try other menu items.

I live a few minutes' drive from Tea Leaf, but didn't even know it existed until about a year ago…read morewhen I met friends for tea and board games there one morning. I was immediately struck by how light, airy, calm and friendly it was. The staff have never been anything other than pleasant and helpful, the decor is cosy but sunny, and the food and drinks are fantastic. I go there maybe once a week now, usually when I need a change of scenery while I'm writing or researching. The menu has so many great options on and I've never had anything there that wasn't delicious...but my personal favourite is the mint lemon tea, 50% sweet and made with Assam black tea. It's refreshing in the California heat and so much healthier than reaching for another can of soft drink. They also serve boba teas, milk teas and everything else you'd expect from a good Vietnamese tea shop. As for the food, they serve banh mi, spring rolls, rice bowls and so on. They also have my great weakness: banh mi fries. Crispy, freshly cooked fries topped with banh mi picked cucumber and carrot, coriander, chilli peppers and spicy sriracha, optionally with your choice of protein - pork belly, in my case - and despite TRYING not to order it every single time...I order it, every single time. So delicious, and (like all their offerings) in a very generous portion that would be great to share with a friend. I've tried some of the other options such as their shrimp spring rolls, and nothing has ever been anything short of fresh, good value and very tasty. I'm so glad there are places like this in my local community. A slightly hidden gem.

I came here with a friend for an event. The ambiance looked…read morelike a work in progress. Bistro table sets were cute. We liked our Boba Drinks but the food we loved.

745 1st St Gilroy, CA 95020…read more Yogofino Yogurt in Gilroy is like a one-stop shop for cool refreshment. It's more than just fro-yo. They have frozen yogurt, milk teas, ice cream, and seating inside and outside. I was here on a warm Tuesday afternoon around 5:30pm. I found Yogofino using the Yelp App as a search engine. The name caught my attention because it's very close to "Yogofina," a local fro-yo chain in the SF Eastbay. I don't think it's the same chain. Yogofino Yogurt has alot to offer, including a fair price for fro-yo! August 2025- Price Per Ounce: 79 cents. I've been to several Yogurtlands recently, and their prices are all in the 85-89 cent/oz range. Easy Breezy Yogurt is $1+/ oz now. So what about the frozen yogurt here? Well, they have seven (7) Electro Freeze machines that have no center twist (or swirl) valve. The area around the machines was very clean. The young lady working there was busy cleaning the whole time I was there. I tried: Mango, Pineapple, and Chocolate with some jelly toppings. They have large selection of wet, dry, and liquid toppings. Service was nice and friendly. The pineapple fro-yo had a good flavor. Not much icy bite, or chalkiness. The mango had a milk flavor. I especially liked the chocolate. It was super creamy, almost like a mild soft serve. No chalky after taste or icy bite. It was 85*F, so my fro-yo didn't stay frozen very long. But it did have a very refreshing chill. I would return if I'm in the area again. Free parking in shopping center lot. Near the Cardenas Market and Mountain Mikes Pizza.

Of their drinks on the menu, white champaca, white champaca oolong, dancong, white champaca matcha are the top drinks I cycle through.

However, I have not seen it on the menu since March. Hopefully they'll bring it back. They now have order online via their website (chowbus), and I recently learned that they have an app. This makes ordering drinks at this location easy since it is located in corner strip mall with minimal parking.

Star Tea is hands down the best boba tea spot I've come across! Their drinks are simply delightful. The boba pearls are always perfectly cooked, with a chewy texture that adds a fun element to each sip. Whether you choose classic milk tea or one of their unique fruit flavors, each drink is expertly balanced, never too sweet, and bursting with flavor. What sets Star Tea apart is their dedication to using high-quality ingredients. You can taste the freshness in every sip, and they offer a wide range of options, including different sweetness levels and types of milk. Plus, their friendly staff ensures a pleasant experience every time. From the first sip to the last, Star Tea never disappoints. It's my go-to boba spot, and I can't recommend it enough to any boba enthusiast out there. If you're looking for the best boba tea in town, look no further than Star Tea! read more

I can't comment on their drinks as I couldn't really get one. I was there - there were two workers and 4 customers waiting on their orders it seemed. I was not greeted and the workers were just focused on making drinks - not like they were slammed busy you know, just 4 people. I waited for a while and then took off - not worth it. They are new and boy do they need to work on service. TK Noodle has the fix next door and service there was just fine. read more
