Alvin was such a sweet guy & made sure our orders were correct! Not only were the drinks made quickly but he has been one of the few people to have spelled my date's name right, without even having to double check or ask for it. read more

Tastea - 1/2 order - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

Stopped by to pick up their new sample of the oolong milk tea! It's a bit sweet in my opinion- they gave us a 8oz sample i went home and poured oatmilk in it to match my sweetness preference. Quick service! read more

Tastea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

DRINK TASTE/QUALITY: I've always wanted to come back here after my friend let me try their drink. They have the best honey boba! Must try. Other boba places don't even taste sweet and aren't always fresh. They have great matcha/thai tea drink, highly recommended! SERVICE: I'm one of the unlucky folks that can't have caffeine after 2pm or else I'll be up all night regretting my life choices. I didn't know what to order and the worker, Matt, was very helpful in letting me know which drinks won't mess me up and suggested the non-caffeinated Yummy Gummy after asking me what sort of flavors I was looking for. That was really nice of him to be patient and recommend drinks. TAKE NOTE T4 workers! The drinks came out quickly and modifications to sweetness and ice were accurate based on what I was expecting. When picking up my drink, Steven (who made drink) greeted me and told me to have a nice evening. It's nice to have warm friendly boba service for once. This was my second time having their drinks, but first time ordering here. I'll definitely be back since their drinks are delicious and service was stellar. read more

Another day, another cup of boba. While I'm no longer drinking boba on a weekly basis (how did my body ever let me do this?!), I am still drinking it at least once a month...gotta live it up while I'm still young I guess. I split a 32 ounce horchata milk tea with the family (see, I try to be healthy). The official description of the drink is "horchata flavored formosa tea with your choice of dairy adorned with crushed cinnamon cereal". I guess it doesn't claim to be a real horchata, so I can't ding it for not being made with rice milk and vanilla extract. I guess it's just Asians re-imagining Mexican drinks? Formosa tea is also rather nondescript...but the drink itself didn't really taste of tea anyway. Instead, I would describe it as extremely (extremely) creamy, with the sweetness of cinnamon (but somehow lacking the spice of cinnamon), and a very light cream flavor (not vanilla). The crushed cinnamon cereal (cinnamon toast crunch?) on top is best eaten immediately, or otherwise it'll get soggy. We paired this with crystal pearls, and it surprisingly tasted okay-- crystal pearls were chewy all the way through. They're becoming a new favorite topping of mine. Even at light sweetness, this drink was plenty sweet for me. Any more sweet, and I think it would be a little too heavy for me. I would get this again if I were craving a cinnamon flavored creamy drink (could see this being good hot around the holidays!) but it wasn't an omg-must-get-again for me. We ordered through the Tastea website online and it was ready to go at our scheduled time. 3.5/5! read more

This location is a bit hard to find as it is in a strip mall that isn't super popular. I ordered the peach sweetme with 30 sugar and it still felt a little too sweet to me. There were fresh fruit bits on the bottom that made it delicious. I also got a Thai iced tea and it was more milk then tea but still good. Unfortunately they were out of all green tea and matcha. I would probably try a different drink next time but service was quick and cashier was friendly. read more

Update review: tried mobile order again this time and drink was ready right away when we arrived! Super appreciated their time management this time. The drink was a little more bitter than I expected but boba texture was perfect and super chewy! read more

This is the effin worse service SLOW ASS HECK with getting our drinks that only should be a 10 minutes make! Come on TASTEA get with it DO YOURSELF SOMETHING CLOSE DOWN! read more

Tastea - Literally people are waiting over 35-45 minutes for 2 drinks - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

A friend recommended me this place, so I decide to grab a drink here for some friends. I notice their jug deal and wanted to try it out. I'm a HUGE matcha fan and was glad they had multiple options for it. I went for the matcha Thai, it had a really strong matcha flavor! They told me it was Thai and jasmine tea, which was surprisingly a good blend. I'll come back for their matcha smoothie next time! read more

Tastea - Matcha Thai! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

LOCATION: This spot is right across the street from the mall, behind the McDonalds. Lots of parking available! DRINKS: Super easy to order online and customize to your heart's content. The drinks are on the sweeter side. I like mine at medium sweet. My go-to is the Strawberry Bananza smoothie with original boba ($6). If you leave your boba in their frozen drinks for too long, it gets chewy and slightly harder. I personally don't mind it (in fact, I weirdly like it!) , but sometimes I see people complain about it. The boba when it's fresh in your drink is still super bouncy ! read more

I decided to give this location another shot since we were driving through the area and I was let down again. I ordered 3 milk tea, 1 dirty horchata and 1 golden milk tea. Our drinks came out good, but what's annoying is that I paid extra for boba and neither of our drinks that were supposed to have boba had any. Can you imagine getting home and letting your kids have their drinks after they had been asking ALL DAY, and they don't even have boba. Yeah, disappointing. Normally I'd be pretty understanding if it were busy and maybe they forgot, but there were only 2 other customers in store, AND I ordered online for pick up.. read more

Love Tastea! I used to go all of the time in college when I went to UC Irvine. So happy to have it close by again! I bought a partea jug for my best friend's birthday and two drinks for myself and my mom...peach me sweet tea is exactly how I remember it! Sweet and tender boba too . Great friendly staff and they were quick with making my order! read more

Tastea - Peach Me Sweetea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

Me and my brother have been ordering drinks from here a lot during the pandemic. Never disappointed with my drinks! I also went in-person with my mom to redeem the essential worker drink a few weeks ago that they had at the time and they were giving the free peach me sweetea :) My family is always super satisfied with our drinks!! read more

I came here with my bf today, tried to call in for order but they only allow in person order or order online. Which I understand, the person who spoke to me was super nice, he was very informative as well about their hours. I ordered 4 drinks, I ordered jasmine milk tea with light stevia, almond milk and grass jelly and the other 3 were watermelon heaven with crystal boba. Let me rave about this place !!! Let's start with the fact that, you can enjoy your milk tea/flavor tea while on keto, how ?! They use STEVIA, yes you heard that right stevia. How freaking great! The fact that their fruit tea is is used with the natural fruit sugar, none of the artificial syrup and all. Also, for milk tea or smoothies, you can change the milk, if you are lactose intolerant, there's almond milk and oat milk for milk alternative. Yes I am overly excited because it is hard to enjoy milk tea with keto diet. If you want great tasting tea and flavor, come here ! read more

Tastea - The light color is jasmine milk tea & the rest was watermelon heaven. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

Love that they opened a tastetea right next to my house. They opened during the beginning of SIP and they seem to be doing pretty well. It's always busy everytime I'm here. All their drinks are really good and I can't wait to try other things on their menu. read more

I will say this...the ONE thing that got me to go to this spot was that they have GREEN BOBA!!!! That is the honest truth. I cared less about it and really went for the GREEN BOBA. Then I tried the Watermelon and instantly Tastetea became my new favorite Boba spot hands down! It's in a very convenient spot because its really close by to my favorite person and down the street from a great friend. So convenience is definitely a win win here. I've only tasted the watermelon, the lychee peachy and the Vietnamese coffee. The watermelon is amazing and here's why. Imagine cutting a watermelon in half, digging a hole in the middle of it, scoop some green boba in the hole and then stir it up. Pop in a Boba straw and that's basically the drink. The lychee drink has tons of lychee chunks to keep you interested and happy. And well the Vietnamese coffee is Vietnamese coffee. Great spot and a great location. I've been using the app to order because it's a lot quicker. So I recommend that method for the time being. 5stars for sure!! read more

This place was better than I expected!! They were giving free drinks out so I wasn't expecting too much from them, but they know what to offer! The customizable drinks allows for you to pick a variety of real milk you want!! None of that default half and half creamer many boba shops uses. read more

Tastea - House coffee that tastes like a milkshake! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

We've gone here ever since they've opened but it would seem like the quality of service has gone down since then; recently we've had to wait a looot longer than usual. One time it would seem like a newer employee was struggling to get drinks out and messed up our order and another person's before us. We decided to just take the wrong drink and not go back because then it would've been more of a hassle and headache for us to ask for a re-make. I decided it's fine since they're new and we've been here a lot. Today we ordered on the online service and went wayyy later than the ETA because we've known from our experiences the past TWO months that it would take longer than the ETA especially on weekends, right? Our drinks weren't ready, there's only two employees working and a lot of people waiting. I'm only writing this review due to a recurrent series of bad experiences from long time customers otherwise I would have been more than happy to look over it. Honestly, I'd just recommend going at off hours but there's a lot of other milk tea places in the area that you can probably just go there rather than waiting for like two employees to handle making drinks and taking orders. At least give a more accurate ETA then, anything so that I don't have to just go there and wait in the car and constantly have to check on my drink. They didn't even end up calling the name for our order this time so we had to go back inside.... read more

This place just opened and it's my new go to spot for tea!! Owners are super sweet! Support your local businesses people! read more

Tastea - This place just opened and it's my new go to spot for tea!! Owners are super sweet! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

I had never tried a Tastea before until this one just opened up recently. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. The large size is huge but still fits in your cup holder. They have a variety of different milk and sugar options/replacements that i have not seen available from other milk tea places. There was plenty of staff on hand and they were very welcoming and friendly. I ordered through their online website which was easily used and saved me a bunch of time since the order was already ready when i got there. This time i got the horchata milk tea which was one of the unique choices they had available. It was exactly what i was looking for and the taste hit the spot. I absolutely will swing by this place again the next time i'm in the area and try out one of their other flavors. read more

Wow, this place is hands down my new favorite boba spot in the area. They have a great variety of fruit teas, and their milk teas are just soooo creamy and delish. Taking off a star because of how flavorless the honey boba was the last 2 times I got it. At .70 per scoop per topping, I would hope that each bite is perfect. Hopefully next time the boba won't disappoint. read more

Wait I don't know why this Tastea location was so sad ... When all my other Tastea experiences (in the Bay Area and SoCal) have been so great ... I got my usual, a matcha milk tea with boba - less sweet with regular ice, and it was so disappointing ??? It tasted like plain milk (or rather, non-dairy creamer) with a tiny taste of matcha?? I'm guessing it was a slight of hand on the matcha but the color was definitely like a hex shade #f2f8e1 rather than the #bedc6a (at least!) I'm used to!! With COVID, there are signs that ask you to wait outside as the shop's pretty small itself. Luckily the front door is right where order and pick up so you don't have to be in a confined space for very long! read more

As they are providing the excellent customer services and delicious taste on the drinks I ordered, I can't wait to rate them with a 5-star review. Well job done, Alex. Will come back again. See you around. read more

Ordered my drink via app. The original sunset peach has green mango bits. But when I came to pickup my drink, I have asked them if there were bits in there and the girl said yes! Found out to be, it was not the "green" mango bits but it was the crushed yellow mango. With the yellow mango, the drink didn't taste right! Very disappointed! read more

Tastea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

It's pretty good! I came here with a friend to pick up our orders, we both got Matcha Thai Milk Tea, 20 oz., medium sweet, non-dairy creamer, honey boba. Their boba was perfectly cooked and the matcha/Thai was a really interesting combination. I'd definitely come here again to try out other things on their menu! The only downside was that my friend and I are both lactose sensitive, and we both had stomachaches after drinking our milk teas. @ the staff, please make sure you use the correct dairy sub that customers request because it could potentially cause health problems if the order is incorrect. read more

Tastea - matcha Thai milk tea! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

I'm giving stars for service because it's fast since it's not super populated here, but every time I come here the drinks are always off. I'm from the South Bay where there are 3 other Tasteas, which I go to regularly so I know how the drinks should taste. I come here because my sister lives nearby and for some reason the drinks do not have any flavor to them. We got a Peach Me Sweet Tea and there are barely any fruit bits. My Strawberry Ecsteasy always tastes like water... Last time the boba was burnt and bitter along with the milk tea tasting like sour milk. I really think this store should do some quality control and ensure their employees are making their drinks correctly. Other than that, I know that I should steer clear from this store from now on. read more

Tried Tastea for the first time today. I LOVE the matcha coffee. So good! I love that it's customizable. I got mine without sugar and condensed milk and asked to replace the milk in the green tea with oat milk and it was PERFECT. My husband got the regular matcha coffee but with all the sugar and condensed milk and it was also really good but too sweet for me since i'm on a low sugar diet. We were lucky in that there was no line when we got there at 11am on a friday. Staff was really nice and if you download the app you get a free drink off the bat. Thanks Tastea! read more

I was in Fremont and craving Boba so of course i had to find a new place I've never been to before...So glad I found this place! With the help of the girl at the register I ordered the most popular milk tea...(which caught my eye before I asked her anyway) Matcha Thai Milk Tea with Honey Boba and WOW is all I have to describe this drink! Delicious! I just wish I got the bigger size!! I will definitely be coming back for this drink and to try others too. read more

Yassss!!!! I lived in Southern California for a couple years and Tastea was my favorite boba joint. I am super excited to see one near me. For all you avocado lovers, you MUST try the avocado avalanche! It's one of my favorite drinks to get here; super creamy and refreshing on a hot summer day. The staff here are super friendly and welcoming. They will be definitely be seeing me often. read more

First!! Haha I'm excited now that Tastea is open in Newark and that I don't have to go all the way to San Jose for it anymore. I came on Soft opening (05/29/20) during their first 2 hours of opening; it was getting quite busy but not too crowded. I gladly tried ordering through their Tastea App for pick up; I found it really simple and you could Choose to pay in person or through the app to make the purchase quick. This location is a bit smaller than the Berryessa one however, I think they'll have some seating available once Covid-19 loosens up. I ordered the strawberry milk tea, Peachee Tee (both with their signature green colored boba) and a House coffee (Viet coffee with salted cream). I really liked the Peach tea it's not too sweet and you can really taste the fruit and tea flavor. The strawberry milk tea: I didn't really taste the tea on this one much it was more liek just strawberry milk. The boba on both drinks were good but I'd say could definitely been a bit more chewy! The house coffee was just right and reminded me a lot like the House coffees at other places. I will definitely come back for more. read more

Love coming here to chill with my friends! Good selection of drinks and workers are pretty friendly and knowledgeable. I went recently and both times they let me modify my drinks, so that's always nice. They have some games to play while you hang out, too. Also, I don't think I've come across a drink I didn't like here, so I'm happy about that as well. read more

Tastea is TOP TIER. I've been a fan for the longest time, I use to go to SoCal a lot so the first time I've ever tried it was in Westminster. I've literally tried so many things off their menu from their specialteas, milk teas, to smoothies and so far nothing has failed me! Their boba is always made to perfection, the right amount of chewiness and softness. They also have fruit bits you can add into your teas which are yummy too! Another thing that amazes me, is that they now have stevia & different milk alternatives such as oat milk! Ugh, I can go on forever about this place. Just try it. Lol read more

LOVE tastea and was so excited when they opened one closer to me in Fremont! My favorite drink is their Peach Me Sweet Tea with lychee jelly. They are located in a small plaza with plenty of parking and their store is in a corner spot. The one thing that I wish they had is FOOD! I LOVE their butt load of fries with its addicting seasoning on top but unfortunately this location doesn't serve food ): Overall, great milk teas and fruit teas but wish they also served their food! read more

Very cool place. The drinks are consistently good and I like the stevia option. My husband's go to drink is the yummy gummy and it is very tasty. I like to try different drinks when I go, but I really enjoy the peach me sweetie. read more

You have to get the honey boba if you get boba. No difference in cost and sooooo good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Very clean place with waiting outside to be safe. Definitely will be back read more

SO excited Tastea has finally opened in East Bay! We have been going since opening day and it has quickly become our weekend go to spot. Some of our favorites: - Strawberry Sensation - Matcha Thai Milk Tea - Watermelon Haven - Wintermelon Milk Tea - Jasmine Milk Tea Download the app and order ahead! Quick, easy, and efficient especially during these COVID times. read more

Tastea is one of my favorite boba spots! I only recently found out about this location. Before, I would always have to drive down to their SJ location whenever I craved some of their peach me sweetea. Now, I am so glad they finally opened another location closer to me! I have tried many milk tea locations around the Bay, but none of them compare to Tastea. Some other drinks that I enjoy are strawberry sensation, lychee peachee, and their avocado avalanche. Their fruit teas and smoothies are absolutely the best. I also like that they have honey boba because most places do not have it. Definitely try this place out if you have not already. read more

Came to this new location and got the peach me sweetea! Medium sweet and less ice, perfect for me and not too sweet. Love their signature green boba. Ordered ahead on the app and it was ready when I got there. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Tastea - Peach me sweetea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

Their drinks are good, yeah, but they mess up so much. Every time I order, one or two of my drinks are messed up. It's happened two times now but I ordered a 32 oz drink and they gave me a 20 oz. Then they either put too much sugar or no sugar at all. I ordered a regular jasmine iced tea with sea foam and it tasted so bitter, there was no sweetness at all even though I requested for 100% sweetness. Then I ordered a winter melon milk tea medium sweet and it was good, but the next time I ordered it was too sweet. There is no consistency in the way they make their drinks at all. read more

Been wanting to try Tastea for awhile and finally got the chance the other day. We got a house milk tea less sweet and the tropical bliss fruit tea light sweet. Both drinks were not sweet at all, I went back in and asked to adjust them both to full sweet. The barista was very nice about it and had no issues. Even after full sweetness we still weren't impressed with the drinks. I thought the milk tea was ok a bit bitter. The tropical bliss fruit tea was not good at all. It was suppose to be a blend of pineapple, orange and guava juice but I tasted no orange or guava and just a very slight hint of pineapple. You can tell in the picture it has no pink color, I feel with guava juice there should be at least a bit of pink? Anyways, service was good but disappointed in the drinks. read more

Tastea - House milk tea and tropical bliss - Bubble Tea Near Me - Newark, California

First time here. 3.5 stars. I think the in person ordering can improve. I couldn't hear the girl at the register, I think the speaker above me was too loud. I had to put my ear really close to the speaker that amplifies the voice of the cashier and I shirk couldn't hear. After finally ordering, you wait outside till they call your name. The drinks were great, you can substitute the sugar with stevia (great option for diabetics). I didn't like the honey boba, it was a little hard in the center, I like it really chewy. I probably won't get it next time. We got large size (it's alot) Tiger Milk Tea w/honey boba, Taro Milk Tea (taro flavor very light) with lychee jelly & Chamango (had lots of mango bits). Good price point. We'll be back. read more
