Nice shop with fast service and a really cute, clean interior. I love that they give you the option to choose between stevia or regular sweetener, which is such a thoughtful touch. Everything was well-prepared, and the atmosphere makes it a pleasant place to stop in. Definitely a spot I would come back to. read more

I'm a regular at Tastea because I like that they offer 32oz as a size option, it's huge! However, on my most recent visit, I discovered after paying that they now charge you $0.55 cents if you order less ice or no ice. I had questioned that with the cashier, and he was surprised as well! He went and asked another co-worker, and they had said yes, it Tastea started charging about a month ago! The person who made my drink, apologized multiple times about this, as he didn't know himself. He was very nice and provided wonderful service. Also, it would be nice if the parking lot was repaved, as it feels like you are driving on gravel here and not a smooth roadway. Parking lot could also use some lighting, hardly any lighting within the lot. I'm giving them a 3 now because while the tea and service is great, I think it's a little shady to start charging for less ice / no ice and not have any signage posted in the store informing customers of this new change. read more

This Tastea is located in a small plaza right by Lazy Dog. There is plenty of shared parking here also. Ordering ahead before coming in is probably ideal, as they are a tad slow at this location. My last two visits were not that pleasant. I ordered the Sea Foam Jasmine Iced Tea both times with honey boba and black jelly. Per usual, they skimped on the sea foam cream on top. On the last visit, I felt like they forgot the sugar / sweetness because I was only tasting the sweetness from the toppings, but I had already left and got on the freeway. On the previous visit before that, they just forgot the honey boba altogether and I was already back home before I noticed, so it definitely was not worth going back for. If I had to choose one, I rather had them forget the jelly than the boba because the boba definitely makes the drink taste better. read more

One of my favorite boba chains! Always has consistently good drinks. This most recent trip I opted for the Banana Cream Matcha and this is the best version of this drink I have had (compared to Academic Coffee, Starbucks, etc)! read more

I have been to the Newark Tastea location before and usually have a decent experience, but this time was incredibly disappointing. I ordered a 32 oz avocado smoothie, but was clearly given the wrong size. When I brought it up to the girl at the counter, she didn't greet me, didn't apologize, and didn't remake the drink. Instead, all she did was pour it into a 32 oz cup and added more boba on top, as if that made up for not giving me the correct size in the first place. The drink still was not filled to the top. The price difference between the sizes is significant, and I didn't spend my money just to get extra boba. I expected the entire drink to be remade correctly or at least blended some more with it, not patched up lazily without any acknowledgment of the mistake. It felt like there was zero care for customer experience. I left feeling ignored and honestly frustrated. I hope this location can improve its service standards, because this is not what I expect from Tastea. read more

My husband and I enjoy their jasmine milk tea with boba. We always struggle with sizes! The 20oz is felt too small to share and the 32oz is simply diabetic. No public restrooms, but there are a few tables to hang out. This is definitely more of a grab and go boba shop. Their fruit teas and smoothies are also popular. read more

This place has been on my list to try for a while and I finally got the opportunity to check it out! We used the kiosk to order and we got the ooh la la smoothie (coconut pineapple) and the strawberry milk tea. The drinks were super sweet which is exactly how I like them to be and the strawberry bits were super unique and flavorful; the perfect addition to the drinks. The boba was also green which I've never seen before but it was really chewy and I loved the texture. I'll definitely be coming back to try the strawberry banana smoothie! read more

Hubby and I went to 88 Cardhouse and saw that there was a Tastea right next door! We decided to go try it out because when we saw the name of the store it reminded us of the song that we heard on YouTube. It's a cute little boba shop and they have a cute dinosaur logo on it! The sizes are actually pretty big as well! I got the Bootea Shaker and I believe Hubby got the Mango all the way. We ended up getting their biggest size and honestly it was soo much! We knew for next time not to get such a big size and if we did, it'll be when we share. Drinks was delicious. I really enjoyed it and it was refreshing from a hot day. I really liked Hubby's drink too. I wish they had just a regular mango tea and not a slushy, but overall their drinks are actually "tastea." Will definitely be back when we're in the area. read more

Unfortunately this location does not level up to the same standard as other locations. Our house coffee had no salty cream foam on the top and everyone's boba was very old and hard.

This is a good boba spot. This location tends to be busy in parking lot so sometimes it's hard to find a spot. I got the Lychee Peachee with lychee bits. I added lychee jelly and Crystal boba. I got regular sweetness regular ice. This was really good. This is my fav drink from here. My boyfriend got a matcha coffee. He said it was a little bitter for his taste and added honey when we were home. There is seating indoors and a bathroom as well for customers. read more

I ordered the Horchata crunch which in my opinion this particular order should have been named Horchata Crumbs because this is all you see as the topper. I have ordered this drink before and it's usually topped with the cereal. When I got the order I asked the worker if this was my order and he said yes. Then I told him does the Horchata Crunch look like that.. and he said yes. So I asked why does the other order look different with the cereal with no crumbs on his and he could not say anything. So since the other customer was already behind me about to get his drink and my name was on this one I could not switch it out. Please be more consistent on how they are made and especially if we see a picture of what it looks like. We should make them correctly. I have shared a photo of what my drink looks like and what it should look like. read more

I've been to this place a couple times. It's always good and consistent. The shop is small, but they have enough room to order. The staff is hella consistent and warm. They're all pretty cool. They have a polaroid wall and it it's actually hella cute. Anyway the cashier who helped me was hella patient. She told me that they have stevia and offered to put it in my drink. Not gonna lie, it was hella smackin. LOL. I ended up getting the lychee drink, it was hella good. read more

Tastea is a chain that offer a variety of drinks including teas, coffees, and more. I usually order fruit teas at this place which I find more unique than their other offerings but this time I decided to order the coffee. One crazy thing about this place is they have a 32 oz cup that actually fits in a cup holder. Which is insane lol. Service was fast and quick with no delays and got the drinks almost instantly 3.8/5 matcha coffee - Sweet strong coffee with the light bitterness of matcha powder. Not exactly the best but it does the job. Also got some honey boba in it which was pretty decent, it was still warm which improves the texture by a lot. Great place, but I do recommend the fruit teas and smoothie over the other offerings read more

I have been a customer since they opened and last week on 1/14 I purchased my regular hot wintermelon milk tea. I noticed the cup was different and did not have their logo. As I drove home and parked, I took the cup out to take a sip and the bottom sprung a leak and started pouring out all over the center console of my car which has a built in phone charger and touchpad. I quickly put the cup back in the cupholder and watched it fill up my dual cup holder with milk tea. I was fortunate I did not burn myself, but I'm traumatized from the incident. As I was cleaning my car, I called Tastea to inform them of the incident and asked for a refund. I asked to speak to the owner and they said they would convey the message for them to call me. It's been past 1 week now and no call. I am highly disappointed as these types of incidents are very serious and can lead to lawsuits (McDonald's coffee spillage lawsuit). I know Tastea ran out of their regular cups and had to buy replacements and cannot have known the cups are defective. I'm appalled for the lack of acknowledgement that my vehicle center console can have damages from the incident. I am deleting my app and never returning. read more

Had some doubts but the offer of stevia substitute was what drew my attention. Only boba place I've seen that offers it, will definitely come back just for that. As for drinks we got it all medium sweet. The tea to mango was super yummy. The tiger milk tea looks pretty good and the 32oz size was just wow!!!! I was blown away by my peach tea with strawberry bits and added boba and using the stevia substitute. It was super yummy and refreshing. Might need to make Newark my new place to hang out. read more

Can't go wrong with Tastea! I love that you can order ahead on the app--the service is always fast and friendly, and the boba is consistently amazing. The location is small and I've never dined in so I can say anything really about the ambiance. My mom loves the avocado drink, and my dad swears by the taro. I've tried almost all of their drinks, and I've never been disappointed. Their honey boba is my favorite! The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that this location doesn't have the snacks that other South Bay locations offer. Other than that, it's a solid boba spot with something for everyone! read more

Came to get a cool drink on a hot day after getting scammed by pokemon scalpers. Made a wish that drinks were gonna be good but instead the drinks were whoever the two Asian ladies working on 3/9.

I've been a fan of Tastea for years, even way before they moved up to the bay area. I used to frequent their SJ location, but I'm much happier with this one in Newark due to its convenient location, parking, and service. This shop is on the smaller side with limited indoor seating, approximately three tables or so. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of their milk teas; my go-to drinks include their Watermelon Heaven (seasonal), Lychee Freeze, Mango All The Way, and Ooh La La. Overall, solid boba spot with fairly quick and pleasant service. read more

Green boba...don't knock it 'til you try it! Tastea's honey boba is always cooked to perfection, I seriously don't think I've ever had a bad batch. I highly recommend using the Tastea mobile app, which lets you conveniently place your order ahead of time for pick up and easily customize your drink to your liking. The app also has frequent offers like BOGO drinks, coupons, and free sample cups of seasonal drinks! This time around I was able to get 20% off my order and a free sample size of their hot matcha milk tea. My drinks were ready at the pickup counter upon my time of arrival where the bobarista made sure my order was correct and offered a drink holder. Their classic milk tea with honey boba is always a hit and my sample of matcha milk tea was so comforting on this cold night. This location in Newark is right off the Mowry exit, in the strip mall beside the Lazy Dog restaurant. There's plenty of parking but beware of potholes! read more

Wanted to try a new boba place so went there last week. I tried The Unknown (Mango and passion fruit black tea with diced longan) drink. I liked the diced longan in the drink. Crunchy.

My Litto really loves boba, so I had to swing by Tastea for their dank dranks! We ordered the peach me sweetea, oolong milk tea, and strawberry milktea. Peach me sweetea definitely was the sweetest of the three. Strawberry milk tea and oolong milk tea were both amazing in their own way. I love how vibrant the colors looked and the taste were on point. Please note that this location only serves drinks and does not provide food. Friendly and welcoming staffs definitely makes ordering a lot easier. Definitely gotta come back to try their different flavors. read more

Hmm not my favorite boba place. I've been here twice and have tried a few drinks: tiger milk tea, strawberry fruit tea, avocado smoothie, horchata drink.

The service is usually quick, the inside is small and can house a few parties. read more

When I first visited, I thought it was a little sketchy just because my GPS took me through some weird roads & it was dark out already. I'm absolutely obsessed with their avocado avalanche, I don't think I've tried anything else LOL I always get large 'cause their large cup size is MASSIVE & my fiancé and I always share it! You can really taste the avocado and they crush the ice well (sometimes) so you don't end up crunching it in your mouth. Bummed that they don't sell snacks though - wish they did! During one of my last visits, the lid wasn't sealed properly so when I grabbed the drink, almost half the drink spilled. I asked if I can get a replacement 'cause it wasn't fully closed. The lady gave me attitude and said I had to pay for it and I told her but I literally just picked it up and the lid came off and she rolled her eyes at me and said you'll have to wait for my manager. I wasn't sure who the manager was but she never came back from wherever she went off to so I just left. 4 stars for my avocado avalanche but 2 stars for service. read more

I'm not a huge boba person, but I love Tastea because of their huge menu option. I love Vietnamese iced coffee and their green Thai teas. Super delicious and fast service. I recently got their Tiger boba milk tea with oat milk which was super bomb! Their prices are a bit obsurd, $7.30 before tip for the Tiger boba milk tea but worth it once in a while. Also, the ice filled all the way to the top makes it hard to put the straw in causing the drink to spill and over flow which is the only con I have. I love that you can order on their app and just go pick it up. This Tastea is a little smaller than other locations but not a big deal. Plenty of parking in the lot. Friendly and fast service so I will return whenever I want boba. Highly recommend! read more

The good: I tried a horchata crunch smoothie and asked for light sweetness. I liked that it wasn't too sweet and that the texture was smooth. There are Tastea locations all over California. The other location I went to had some drinks that were too sweet for my liking but it's nice that you can adjust the sweetness. The bad: There is no outdoor seating. The "crunch" for the horchata smoothie was just cinnamon toast crunch cereal on top. It would've been nice if there was some crunch aspect incorporated in the drink itself. On the plus side, the cereal didn't get soggy. The interesting: There were at least 6 workers at the time I came in. A few of them seemed to be messing around like a group of high school students on lunch break. It seemed like a lot of people for such a small shop. At the ordering counter they have a speakerphone to talk to you even though you're right in front of the cashier. It might have been something implemented during the pandemic. read more

I am a very observant person; it maybe a flaw. I went here on a weekday night. Ordered a smoothie. The cashier who was helping me was wringing a towel that appeared dirty. She then poured out my smoothie and gave it to me. I will say she changed her gloves, but didn't use hand sanitizer. I didn't want them to re-make my drink so I just asked for a refund. I looked today and they did refund me, but not the tip. Like really? It's in the principal of it. That's fine. Here's a tip to people thinking of going - don't go if you care about cleanliness and your health! You can look at the proof in the pictures of the receipt and how it appeared on my banking app. read more
