Bright & cheerful storefront. Tiny parking lot, had to circle around to get parking. Got a taro milk tea with boba, no ice, 50% sweet. They definitely use real taro, tho the taro flavor is barely there. Tea flavor and sweetness is spot on, boba has a goldilocks-level-perfect amount of chew. Would definitely come here again! read more

I'm honestly pretty disappointed with the customer service I experienced tonight. I called the store about 10 minutes before closing because I knew I'd be arriving close to closing time and didn't want to inconvenience the staff. I asked if it was still okay to order when I got there, and the person on the phone told me to place the order through the website. The website order didn't work, so I came in a few minutes before closing to order in person. When I started ordering, I was told they had already thrown out the boba. I explained that I had just called and said I was on my way, but they claimed they never spoke to me and suggested I must have called another location. I had looked up the number for this specific store and know for a fact that I didn't. On top of that, they told me they were closing in less than a minute, even though I had already arrived earlier and could have ordered sooner if I hadn't been having that conversation with them. They did end up making the drinks, which I appreciate, but the staff were clearly annoyed about it and the interaction felt unnecessarily rude. I completely understand that closing time can be busy, but denying a phone conversation and making a customer feel like they're lying is not okay. Will be avoiding this location from here on out. read more

Driving along W San Carlos Street, I stumbled upon this location. They do have a tiny parking lot. The interior is cozy with tables/seats to relax at. Two kiosks to order from. One unisex restroom. Key is needed to use. Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea: Their aromatic Tie Guan Yin Oolong tea combined with their signature house milk (4/5). Smooth creamy milk tea. Support your local business. read more

Always solid boba here! The drinks tend to be sweet so adjust your sweetness level accordingly. My go tos are the fruit tea and mango jasmine tea, usually with jelly or boba. Fast service and good amount of seating. read more

I used to love this place but recently it has not been good at all. It used to be strong and flavorful! Now it is watery and pretty tasteless. I've tried 3 times and then again today. It's so sad because I know they can do better. For strong tea, Molly or Heytea is better. Even boba bliss is better... read more

#taste - 1/5 #portion size - 4/5 #value - 1/5 #dislike - I did not expect this from sunright but this location made my Thai milk tea terribly. I don't know if it was made wrong but I don't see Thai milk tea as something you can easily mess up. The drink tasted like bitter water. After a few sips I couldn't continue drinking it. It is a bummer because I ordered through DoorDash so I could not taste test it at the location. read more

I was looking forward to trying Sunlight Tea Studios because of the positive reviews. Store is bright and has a small parking lot. Inside, there are two kiosks for ordering drinks. Menu had some descriptions of the items available. I didn't have any interaction with the staff. My cosmic apple Oolong tea with honey boba was ready quickly. I was hoping for a refreshing drink but the flavor was really light and there were pieces of apple skin in my tea. I didn't realize there would be pieces of apple skin and it was rough enough that it made the drink experience annoying. read more

Decent matcha, quick service, clean inside I came here on the weekend to try on their matcha. We got the strawberry matcha latte and the pistachio cheese foam matcha latte. Both were good. I've had better but these were pretty standard matcha lattes. The pistachio cheese foam added a unique flavor to the matcha. It's located on the corner of San Carlos. They have a small parking lot as well as street parking. We came around noon on Sunday and it wasn't busy at all. You order on the tablet and wait for your drinks. They have a few tables inside if you want to stay and do some work. There are many different drinks to choose from so there's something for everyone. Wait time was about 5 minutes. read more

Hands down my favorite boba place in the Bay Area. The black sugar boba and honey boba are both nice and chewy and a good size. They also have a green tea jelly topping that's really good. I haven't had that anywhere else, so I think it's pretty unique. Three of their customer favorites: 1) Sunright boba milk tea, 2) mango jasmine tea, 3) mango frostie. I love both of them. The milk tea is perfect with just the right amount of tea flavor, and I like that the boba is included in the drink. Toppings are so expensive nowadays. The mango jasmine tea also has a nice tea flavor--not too weak and not too strong. The mango frostie is perfectly refreshing for a hot day--and it comes with matcha jelly/dried mango! Love the boba here--I have a hard time not going every day. And that's with the closest Sunright to me being 13 minutes away! read more

We love this local addition to the hood. Only drawback is they never have the food items they advertise . Always disappointing when they don't have them. But the boba drinks are good and they have a good varied to please adults and kids. read more

I came in on a Tuesday afternoon, and it wasn't very busy. I ordered Oolong tea with cheese foam and to my surprise, I loved it. Cheese foam was not overly sweet or salty, just enough to not overpower the oolong tea. My drink came out really quick after ordering too. It's very spacious here, so you could chat with friends/study. Parking could be hard during rush hours. I would come back to try other drinks. read more

Sunright Tea Studio on W San Carlos has officially become one of my favorite spots in San Jose! Everything from the drinks to the atmosphere to the service is on point. The ambiance is super clean, modern, and welcoming--perfect for catching up with friends or just chilling with a great drink. You can tell they put effort into creating a space that feels fresh and relaxing. Now the service? Top tier. Everyone was really friendly and helpful, but I have to give a special shoutout to Kris. This guy was working nonstop--taking orders, making drinks, helping customers--and still managed to stay super polite and upbeat the entire time. Seriously, Kris deserves a raise. His work ethic and positive energy made the whole experience that much better. And of course, the drinks were . Everything was super flavorful and fresh--I got one of their signature teas and it was perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and the boba had that perfect chew. You can tell the ingredients are high quality. If you haven't been to this location yet, do yourself a favor and stop by. Great food, great vibes, and a team that actually cares. Can't wait to come back! read more

Poor service from the beginning to end. So dismissive and rude. They acted like they didn't want to be there.

Sunright is my favorite tea place. It's the only one I've ever been to where you actually taste the tea in the drink unlike all the others where you get a very sweet drink with may/may not be made with any tea. My go-to drink is the Lemon Jasmine green tea with no fruit. This just means they remove the lemon wedges in your drink. The sweetness level is pretty accurate so 100% just means "normal" sweetness. My wife's favorite is the Mango Jasmine green tea and since they add quite a bit of mango puree, you can throttle down the sweetness to 50% and it'll be about right. This location is kinda out of the way but it's still closer than the Milpitas location so parking can be challenging. Wish they would open a location closer to south SJ so I can get my weekly tea fix. read more

The most efficient tea spot I have ever been to! I'm talking, if they have a full like out the door, you can STILL expect your tea ASAP. That shows they have their process down and they waste no time. I never see anyone sitting around. Everyone is always working, friendly and pleasant. The online ordering and kiosks make everything quick and easy. They always have the cutest decorations for holidays and events. I am boring and prefer a Black tea without milk, if I ever get something fun it's always delicious! read more

Good drinks but bad service I kept getting weirdly stares from one of the workers and when I was to say thank you just got a mean face very good drinks but need more friendly employees. read more

I really hope this place sticks. I enjoyed the Wow Lemonade spot that was here, but it died. Once again, though, we have a banger of a spot. Sunright Tea is my new go-to boba spot. Not just because it's a short walk from my girlfriend's place, but because everything is just awesome. Like my other favorite boba chain, Happy Lemon, Sunright has some nice cheese foam, but my favorite drinks on the menu are their frosties. Whether it's their mango, coconut, or strawberry frosty, they're all the right amount of sweet and refreshing. Add some cream pudding on there and you have a heck of a treat! I also like how they do gaming collabs every now and then. I really enjoy the sticker promotion they did with Capcom for Ace Attorney. read more

Sunright seems to be my go-to boba spot whenever I'm in a different city, as it's now my third different location, and each one I've ordered something different. This time, I ordered the Sunright Fruit Tea which is always a classic I look for at any boba place I go to! I thought it was very impressive, perfect fruit flavor, and faint tea taste which is always my favorite combination. I also got 100% sweetness, because I always rather it have a stronger sweetness versus tea taste. Overall, service was fast. Me and my friend were also able to find seating inside which made it convenient to finish our drinks before going onto our next spot. read more

I was looking for a place near me that had black sugar milk tea and was so excited when I found Sunright Tea Studio as I've heard good things about this place. A chance to try it out, awesome! First off - parking is horrible. It's located on a busy intersection with a very small and tight parking lot shared by a few businesses, including a nail salon. I suggest parking across the street and walking over, unless you are extremely lucky and are there just as someone leaves. When I walked in, there were two kiosks located on the left hand side to order your drinks. You can take your time and browse if this is your first time here, which I did. Unfortunately, none of the workers seemed inclined to answer any questions I had about the drinks. I found the black sugar milk and realized it was just milk and not actual tea. So I ended up ordering the Sunright milk tea instead and also indulged in ordering some choco mochi paws (how cute!). After ordering, I sat down and waited for my order to be called. About 5-7 minutes later, one of the workers called a number, but I couldn't hear what it was. I looked up to see if they would repeat the number or make any indication of what the order was, but I got nothing. I waited for a bit longer, then noticed that they had a system for picking up orders on the counter. Okay, cool. I'll just go over and see if mine was up. My order was sitting there when I walked up, but none of the workers said anything. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to check in with them or anything before taking my order, but since no one looked over or asked if I needed help, I figured I was free to take it and leave. The boba milk tea was subpar - I went with recommended settings on sugar/ice and it was very lite flavor wise. You couldn't taste the sugar or much tea at all. The pearls were decent, but lacked any flavor. The mochi paws were cute and warm - but tough and chewy and not in a good way. It felt like there was too much flour mixed in when the batter was made and therefore lacked the fluffy chewy texture of mochi. I ended up throwing away half of them... And I usually never throw away dessert! Overall - 1 star off for the (lack of) customer service and 1 star off for the tea/mochi I tried. The store was clean and nicely decorated. Maybe I just came on the wrong day and/or ordered the wrong things. read more

I was going to be near the San Jose Rose Garden, so decided to order from Sunright while I was in the area. Coincidentally, Sunright currently has a limited time special of two drinks - Kay's strawberry jasmine tea with grass jelly, and Edgeworth's oolong milk tea and brown sugar boba. Each order comes with a limited edition Ace Attorney sticker. Edgeworth's oolong milk tea and brown sugar boba, 25% sweetness, no ice, house milk: 3/5 It was not that sweet which was what I intended, but I feel the tea flavor was not strong enough since it was overpowered by the milk. White peach oolong cheese foam: 4/5 My partner ordered this so I got to try this as well. I thought the white peach oolong was pretty good, I could make out the fruity taste but I still wished the oolong was stronger. However, the creama/cheese foam is really yummy, savory and salty. Once I had finished off the drink, I scraped the remaining cheese foam off of the lid and sides of the cup since a lot of it didn't mix properly with the drink. I have noticed in general I find Sunright drinks to have too weak of a tea flavor for my personal preference. I think oolong in general tends to be milder in flavor too, so it's more easily overpowered by dairy. That's my main disappointment with the drinks, but if you prefer your drinks milder in flavor, then you might like these. Prices for some of the more standard teas are okay compared to average for the area (in the $5-6 range), there's currently some seasonal peach-flavored drinks that I was eyeing, but those are more expensive ($6+). read more

Over the past few years of having tried Sunlight Tea my expectations were held high because every drink I had ever gotten from there was great! However, just as Cinderella when the clock strikes 12 or in this case 11:45 AM all of the magic wore off only leaving her with one glass slipper. My glass slipper from today was the Cheese foam here which was creamy, light, and smooth which I really enjoyed. I had just gotten my eyebrows done and was walking myself out scrolling through yelp in search of a boba spot near by. As I kept on walking I just looked up and there it was.... on the corner of the street in big letters across the front which said, "Sunlight Tea Studio" and my prayers were answered within seconds but without a Fairy Godmother. I walked in and. was welcomed by one of the staff members which was nice, but they were all sitting in a circle together, looking bored, on their phones, doing nothing which made me think, "wow, Such enthusiasm". while I was waiting sitting on the bench was um.... a... Scare Crow??? im not lying here the man must have mistaken the yellow bright interior for the Yellow Brick Road because he was without Dorthy, The Lion, and The Tin Man to help guide him. I I kept staring at it thinking and worried I was being rude, because what if there was an actual person in there? I felt bad for staring for so long but I was finally able to asses and identified that there was no one wearing the scare crow as a costume. Here they have those self ordering touch screen things where you can order from. I decided to order a combo with their Chocolate Mochi Waffles and a drink of my choice. I ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Cheese Foam. My order came out quickly and having nothing else to do with myself for the day, I sat down and opened the box of their Mochi Waffles that look like cat paws which were all covered in chocolate syrup....I had no idea that the waffles were going to be toped with chocolate cream instead of filled with it. I was pretty disappointed and the mochi waffles weren't anything special or to die for. My drink was absolutely terrible. I ordered the drink with less ice, the recommended milk, and half sugar. it tasted very watered down and it really disappointed me because my expectations were held higher because of my previous experiences. Usually when you think of your milk tea you would expect something sweet, creamy, and refreshing which my order had any of these characteristics. Maybe it was just a bad drink choice, but I really want to know if you think it's worth it for me to try giving Sunlight Tea Studio a second chance? please connect with me to let me know which side of the fence to jump over to. read more

Love their boba! So glad a closer location opened up Quality is consistent with their sunnyvale location. The only downside is their mochi waffles aren't as chewy as I'd like, and sometimes it doesn't taste freshly made Service is usually quick, but parking can be tricky (it's one way and a very small lot). If you don't mind walking, the lot by McDonald's and Safeway is way bigger! read more

Great spot! My favorite drink here is the oreo brûlée boba milk. It comes with boba, and you can customize the amount of ice and sweetness which is always a plus. I got 100% as it was the recommended amount, and it's delicious - the perfect amount of sweetness. The flavors were reminiscent of an oreo milkshake, but the consistency stayed true to a creamy boba drink. Love the convenience--you can order on kiosks, and use apple pay! Drinks came out within 5 minutes of ordering. There's also a lot of fun decorations inside, including a christmas tree, scarecrow, and inflatable snowman lol. Overall it's a cute spot for some yummy drinks!! read more

Quality/Quantity - Blueberry Yakult - Good. She usually gets this when she is here. Her favorite is a yakult, and Sunright is the only place with blueberry flavor. Brown Sugar Espresso Latte - My drink, good quality. Not enough "boba" places have good quality "coffee" drinks, in my opinion. Oolong Milk Tea - My daughter's regular order. Atmosphere - Decent size location. Two entrances, one in the front and the other in the back. Limited parking in the back of the building. Interesting "FOB" key to use the bathroom. Not as hard as it sounds, but I witness so many people struggle. Open 7 days a week from 11:45am to 9pm. Service - Ordered online. Drinks were ready when we got here. So fast and friendly service. Price - $25; expensive, but that is the cost for quality. Cashless, so make sure you bring your card. N/A for us as we ordered online.

While I was waiting for my sister to get her tattoo done, I saw that Sunright was nearby, so I walked over for some boba. It was not too busy on a Sunday around 2 PM. Once you walk in, you order on the monitors on the side. I usually get the sunright fruit tea with honey boba at 50% sweetness. It's so refreshing. I do feel like with the orange slices, it takes up space so I feel like I am not getting enough tea. Regardless, I still go back to Sunright for a quick pick me up! The drinks were done pretty quickly. There is also plenty of space for you to sit inside too. read more

So happy to have Sunright near us! This spot was originally an Italian bakery that also had gelato but unfortunately, they didn't survive the pandemic. When we saw the COMING SOON sign for the Sunright Tea, we were so excited because the only location at the time as in Sunnyvale. We love coming to this location since it's not only close by but also across the street from Safeway and McDonalds. So there have been a few times where we would get some groceries from Safeway and drop by Sunright before heading home. So it's super conveniently placed on San Carlos! Another convenience they have is online ordering! So we can place an order and pick it up quickly and not have to wait for it. The interior is always clean and always pretty festive during the holidays which is really nice! They even at one point had a small claw machine but I think it's gone now. Our go-to drinks are the Sunright Boba Milk Tea, Chocolate Oreo Brulee, Cream Pudding Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Boba Milk, Creme Brulee Boba Milk, Oreo Brulee Boba Milk, Pudding Boba Milk, and the Matcha Milk Tea. Glad to also mention that they have hot drinks too! This location also has little mochi waffles and they're really good! Very soft, chewy, and has a hint of sweetness. You just need to wait a bit for them to be made. There's really nothing I can really complain about regarding the shop, but my only beef is with their parking lot. It's SO SMALL. They also share a parking lot with a nail salon in the back, 2 small businesses in the front, and a barber shop upstairs (Paradox). The barber shop is well-known, especially on social media. Unfortunately, this barber shop has guys who will just hang out and not even get a haircut so the parking lot is sometimes filled up with loud, modded cars. I have no hate against the car scene since I grew up around the car scene. I know that all the car guys want a place to just chill, but unfortunately this plaza ain't it for them. Overall, the parking lot is just too small. There were a few times when we had to park across the street at the back of the Walgreens. Overall, we're glad that there's a Sunright not too far from us and we'll continue coming back! read more

This is the first Sunright I've seen with seating! Lots of space and a good spot for people to hang out. They also have a lot of anime references around, and played anime theme songs at the shop.

For this visit, I ordered the White Peach Oolong tea with 50% sweetness. I thought this drink was okay, refreshing but the white peach flavoring was a bit too artificial in the drink. read more

Came here for the duration of 3/31/24- 4/15/24 I was able to wait in line and get the SVIP card for $20 which came with a cute mug. The card contains 15 free boba, thus this review will be based the drinks I ordered and my overall experience... (also I like honey boba and have a sweet tooth so most of my drink includes honey boba w 100% sweetness) Matcha Brulee latte 4/5 (got it with organic fresh milk)-- I shook the drink 17 times and all the brulee was gone.. so I was unable to really taste it. Maybe it was the brulee but the matcha was not as strong as I thought it was, but the drink was overall tasty. Matcha red bean frostie 5/5 love the matcha flavor. the outside was also coated w matcha burelee which was an additional pulse. Any typical frostie drink is good for a hot day. Matcha Strawberry 4/5- It was alright... for some reason, I did not quiet like the strawberry taste. Definitely have to try again to see but not a super fan. Grapefruit jasmine tea 5/5 Although I ordered 100% sweetness, it was not that sweet, but I like the grapefruit and jasmine taste and it was not bitter. The drink also included several slices of real grapefruit. Mango milk tea 5/5 I surprisingly like it. It tastes like any typical mango milk tea, can taste the mango. No mango chunks so the drink is prob made with mango puree. Mango Yakult 5/5 Was really good but I don't think it's worth the price as it contains mango pure, water, sugar, and ONE Yakult... Jasmine Yakult 3/5 A little aftertaste and the Yakult in this drink... hahaha. always separates w the tea. It looks so bad and does not taste 100% good. I was struggling. Taro Frostie 6/5 100% recommended to my taro lovers out there. It's literally taro milk but colder and they put a bunch of taro on the outside. It is well worth the price. Taro Milk tea 5/5 always a fan of taro. The amt given was generous. Sunright Fruit tea 5/5 - It is definitely a top drink. It is very fruity and got some orange pulp in. Recommend taking out the slices as it take up space esp when you want to add toppings. Red bean Frosti 4/5 - not my favorite frostie. The red beans are so hard to drink and its really hard in the end. Had high hopes for it just missed. Oreo Brulee boba milk 4.5/5 - an excellent drink for non-caffeinated and for kids. VERY VERY sweet. Hey but we all love Oreo Four-season latte 5/5 - my go-to every time. got it w brulee this time which was nice and creamy. It's got a nice unique flavor and I love. Overall, this was a great way to try out other drinks that I normally don't go for (4 season and taro MT). The location is honestly not the best, sometimes it is hard to get parking due to the small parking lot. However, there is seatings, but the parking time limit is 2 hrs ... If they made the drink wrong, just let them know and they will remake it for you. Conclusion: 4.5 read more
