Tastea is good for beverages and light snacks. No cash accepted, so credit cards and mobile payments only. Good customer service today. You can also use one of the two available kiosks for self service orders. It's quite easy to spot inside the plaza on Berryessa & Capitol. The interior is modern, clean, and spacious. There's more than enough tables and chairs inside & outside to relax as needed. The high ceilings and airy ventilation at this location is pretty darn good, especially if you do visit on a warm or hot day. Good vibes. Beverage stops aren't cheap these days. 16oz. or 20oz. cups are good enough sizes for me. I had the mango milk tea $7.05 and pandan milk tea $7.80, both at regular ice and 50% sweetness. Both tasted as good as it looks here. I'm tempted to trying a lychee or wintermelon beverages in future. Convenient, good tasting, and refreshing. Fruit teas/slushies/coffee/matcha drinks/smoothies/milk teas/etc. I rarely buy beverages over $8 these days. Overall, legit and decent stop. Over the counter service is good. All positive here. It's worth revisiting. read more

We had lunch next door and saw this place and had to give it a try. My son got the Peach Me Sweatea w strawberry popping boba and I got the Ooh LaLa. The Peach Me Sweatea was good but a little too sweet for my liking. The Ooh LaLa is a Pineapple Coconut Smoothie with strawberry puree and my god, it was delicious. It came in clutch on this hot beautiful day!! Come give it a try! read more

Tastea is my go-to for its refreshing milk tea, smoothies and tasty appertizers been coming out here for the past nine years and during that time service has been exceptional. Bro and I came by on a Wednesday morning and were were greeted very warmly. Placing an order is simply by using one of two self- service kiosk no cash. Bro and I got the Thai iced tea and Bro had the blueberry Passionate both 20 oz size extra ice light sweetness. Prices are far more reasonable than some of its competitors. Interior space is quite limited though there's an outdoor seating and ample parking lot. read more

Popcorn chicken with the honey was actually better than we expected. We ended up ordering rice to go with our chicken. Needed more spice and more basil. Lychee freeze and mango were great. Perfect on a hot day. Ordered on a self kiosk so it was quick. We were lucky enough to get a table to enjoy our meal. read more

We were at Frank and Furter's next door and stopped by to grab some boba. Went with my usual baseline order -- jasmine green milk tea with boba -- since it's the easiest way to tell how solid a shop's tea really is. We upsized to the large, which was massive, definitely shareable. The tea itself tasted fresh. We asked for 50 percent sweetness, but it was still way too sweet, so I let the ice melt a bit to balance things out. Overall, a decent drink but nothing particularly impressive. It feels like many places lean on extra sweetness to mask an average tea. The boba, though, was nicely done: fresh, chewy, and lightly sweet. Overall, a solid 4/5. read more

It was my first time here last night. I came with my friend because we wanted boba after my bachelorette. I got the Pandan milk tea and she got a winter melon milk tea with boba. The Pandan milk tea came with black jelly. I got the 20 oz, medium sweet, and less ice, yes top off. It was a 5-10 minute wait for my drink but my friend's drinks came out right away. I would come here again. read more

charging for light ice is absolutely insane to me. the drink is already 8 dollars. people get boba for a fun experience, not to get charged for wanting less ice and a full drink never coming back. great workers tho. give them a raise read more

Visited SJ and came here since this was my go to when living here. I got the peach me sweetea which was really good liked I remember. We also ordered calamari and new spuddies. The food did that a while to come out and when it did it seemed like it was a lot less portions than how I remembered. Calamari was good we got it at level 4. The spuddies were okay. It tasted like baby food and there was only 12 small pieces that weren't really worth it. Overall I'll just stick to the drinks read more

Tastea came in clutch today! After having dinner at McDonald's, my 2 year old daughter announced she needed to use the restroom right as we got to the car. Knowing how toddlers are, I rushed her back to the lobby door, knowing McDonald's had already closed their lobby. After a couple minutes of knocking and pressing the service doorbell, no one answered, leaving me no choice but to cut a car off at the drive thu window. After pleading with them to let her use the restroom considering we were just in there a few minutes prior, they refused to open up the restroom, claiming it was closed for the night, no exceptions. I explained to them that she is stating she cannot hold it much longer, and they refused to budge and told us to kick rocks and take her somewhere else. So I ran across the parking lot, and luckily, Tastea was still open. The staff was in the middle of closing procedures and explained their bathroom had just been cleaned and was technically closed too. But after I explained the situation, they let her in anyway, and she made it just in time. I want to give a huge shoutout to the staff at Tastea. It was late, their bathroom was already clean and closed, and they had every right to say no. Instead, they chose to do something simple and human that a billion-dollar company wouldn't. Thank you. read more

Hands down my favorite milk tea shop!! There's so many unique flavors, such as the pandan and Oreo milk teas. My personal favorite milk teas are the horchata milk tea and matcha milk tea and my favorite fruit tea is Peach Me Sweetea. The quality is always amazing, and I've never had any issues with my drinks throughout the many years I've gone here. I also like that the flavor doesn't get too diluted towards the end of the drink. I mostly get the milk teas, but I've heard from many people that the fruit teas are really solid as well. I also like hearing about their new flavors on the announcements page of their app, and they've definitely added a lot of new drinks and snacks on their menu since they first opened. The price of each drink is pretty standard, about $7 a cup. The store is designed so that it's more like a long counter indoors so there's limited seats inside and may feel claustrophobic to some, but they also have outdoor seating. read more

Small place with a few tables and a standing counter to have a quick snack and boba. The two tablets to order compare to other locations makes it a lot easier to get orders done quick compare to a cashier. Off to the drink review!! 3.8/5 - Matcha coffee - Always hit the spot, despite it's not the best coffee or matcha, it's still tastes pretty good and a quick fix for coffee lovers looking for something on the sweeter side. Coffee flavor comes through with a slight bitterness of matcha that hides the bitterness of coffee nicely 4.2/5 - Great White - Tastea I always thought did their fruit teas better than the rest of the menu. The peach flavor really hits the spot and is quite sweet so I got med sweetness. Very refreshing drink with a punch of peach flavor. read more

Truly an underrated spot. Their honey boba is always so chewy and fresh. I absolutely love the matcha Thai milk tea and strawberry milk tea. But recently I have been really enjoying the great white which is so refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness that is not too sweet. I've bought the jug twice for my family now and it's been a hit every time! read more

This was my first time at this location on Friday this week, June 6th. I came in to use my birthday reward since I was in the area and this seemed like the closest location to where I was. I was able to use my reward, but since the drinks are a little bit more than expected price wise, I was hoping I could pay cash since it's just a small amount. However even though there are signs outside that say no cash accepted, I don't remember seeing any signs in the store, but the lady did remind me. I feel that the service could be better as the lady seemed distracted / might be new? - I had to remind her I have the reward and wanted to use it. Also I realized I didn't get the right drink. I asked for the Matcha Thai but was given the regular Thai tea with my adjustments (at least the adjustments was right). I let it go since I like regular Thai tea as well. I do think that refusing cash is not a good option for some customers as another reviewer said and can be inconvenient if you do have cash on you and you just need to cover a small amount (like in my case). Please fix this. I probably would've gone to another location had I known this, but as I said I think this was the closest to me at the time. read more

They had this offer for their rewards program. One free samples size of their Peach Oolong Milk Tea redeemable only by the app. The milk tea drink was good, but the peach part seemed artificial. Regardless, it was good. read more

My favorite spot to get Avocado Smoothies. Goes great with the Boba. Perfect texture not too chewy and not too mushy.

Tastea is my favorite spot and I love the drinks but it seems that they recently started charging extra if you order your drink with no ice or less ice. 85 cents for no ice and 55 cents for less ice! :( makes me sad read more

Drinks/food: 2 out of 5 Our avocado smoothie had no sugar even tho I ordered regular sweetness. It also had a lot of ice compared to avocado smoothies from other places. Could barely taste the avocado. The drinks are very ordinary - nothing special. My fruit tea tasted like a bunch of syrup and water with ice. Tea scent wasn't too fragrant. Service: 1 out of 2 Service here is horrible. The girl at the register wouldn't even take my order. It seemed like she was busy but the place was pretty empty. I wanted to order an additional item in addition to my pick up. I ordered both food and drinks. The food - large is not worth jt at all. You pay more but the portions are barely distinguishable. The box is slightly bigger but it's not as if the food is being filled to the brim or anything. The food is kind of pricy for the amount you get. Ambiance: It's small - barely any room. Overall, not much to write home about. read more

Tastea is one of my goto boba spots when I'm craving a jasmine or matcha thai milk tea! This time I got the jasmine oreo milk tea. It's part of their new menu item and I love it! I'm a big fan of Oreos and Jasmine milk tea so when I heard they had this drink I got it twice in one week :D read more

Tastea - Jasmine Oreo milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I wouldn't call this the best location I've ever been to, but the milk tea and smoothies here are definitely solid. What really stands out is how customizable everything is; you can adjust the sweetness level to your liking, or even swap out the regular sugar for stevia. That's a huge plus in my book, especially since a friend of mine is diabetic. It's nice to see a spot that offers more inclusive options without compromising on taste. read more

Empty store, but waited 15 minutes for 2 drinks. I gave them time to call it out, thats when I got impatient and saw that a client who came 10 minutes after us got their drinks before me. This location used be so great, and on top of their system. But looks like now that they are accustomed to new ordering systems, they aren't as aware of everything. One of the staff was even just standing looking around and doing nothing, while 4 workers went around him back and forth, making mobile orders over mine. read more

You honestly can't go wrong with Tastea for a boba fix- especially since you can get a 32 oz. drink haha. I've been coming to this location for a few years and it never misses. The staff are always kind and quick to fix your drink if it comes out wrong (pretty rare occasion but sometimes it happens since they can get pretty busy). I love that there's self kiosks now, but definitely utilize their app & rewards program- well worth your money if you enjoy their drinks & food! read more

I recently visited Capitol Tastea with a friend, hoping for a pleasant afternoon of tea and conversation. Unfortunately, our experience was ruined by exceptionally poor service from the cashier, Kayla. She greeted us with a curt "Do you guys know what you want to order yet?" while glowering, and took our order with minimal acknowledgment. Her lack of basic customer service skills was glaringly obvious, making us feel unwelcome. The tea itself was okay - definitely not good enough to make up for poor customer service. read more

would always come here during my high school years. the popcorn chicken and fries changed over the years but will still recommend them. love the strawberry milk tea, mango milk tea, peach me sweet tea and krypteanite. the store is less seating than it was before but it isnt as packed as it used to be. wait is never too long read more

It's a really hot day and we wanted to go an grab a drink after a wedding we attended. Found this place and was pleasantly surprised. The area was empty when we got in then slowly got more customers after ordering. There was a lot other seating space inside but also had a couple of outdoor seats. We both got the Peach Me Freezie and it was amazing the drink was like a strawberry / peach slushie with peach bits! I accidentally got my boyfriend's full sweet drink instead of the no sweet and it was honestly not too sweet! The drink sizes are huge here btw and it also reflects in the price, but in my opinion, it's worth it! So worth it that we got an extra drink to take home! We also tried the karage chicken and the shrimp and it they were sooo good! I prefer the karage due to the texture and the karage powder, it was a good medium between spicy and not too spicy. I will definitely be back for that Karage and maybe try another freezie drink. read more

I used to frequent this Tastea often, but I finally returned for the first time after a few years. I visited on a Friday night around 8pm and it was PACKED (mostly with students?) and it was really loud. They closed off the bathrooms and half of the indoor seating, not really sure why. We waited in line for about 10 minutes. I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie, which was pretty solid. Overall, my visit was just ok. Not my favorite place to get milk tea, but not the worst either. read more

Tastea never disappoints! My favorite drink is the horchata crunch with honey boba. Something about tastea honey boba is sooo good-- this time around the boba is green! I love that they come in unique colors with the same sweet taste and soft texture. The cinnamon toast crunch on top also adds a nice touch. I also tried the shrimps with strong sauce and ranch. They were pretty good, cooked well, and came out hot! The strong sauce was spicy, but it worked really well with the shrimp. The wait for 2 drinks and shrimps was only around 5-7 minutes too! read more

Placed an order on their kiosk and waited for our drink. Waited roughly 20 minutes before asking one of the team members for an ETA and they tell us that they did not receive our order... Unsure why as the screen confirmed payment and the order went through. We place another order at the front this time around and waited another 10 mins. During this whole time, not one employee checked in on us. The drink was fine, however, we waited over 30 minutes for one drink and the team members offered no apology for the inconvenience or suggest a way on how they can make up for our poor experience. read more

The service was amazing, even though I had ordered online through their app, I was immediately greeted by the employee and was asked if I had placed an online order. The store was packed but they still made the time to have the customer welcomed into the store. There was no wait time for the drink even though I had placed it not too long before going inside which was great. The drinks itself were really good but the boba made it better. I love that they always give you fresh pearls instead of old and hard ones like some places do. The horchata wasn't my favorite but my boyfriend loved it. I always get a fruit tea from here but this time I wanted to try a milk tea so I just got a tiger milk tea and I loved it. For me, it is on the sweeter side but I love sweet drinks. Compared to other places this is one of the better tiger milk tea drinks since other places make it overly sweet. As for the interior, I couldn't get a good look but the drink pick up area was surprisingly clean with no spills or trash. Usually when you go to a packed cafe, there would be some trash like napkins and wrappers but it was kept clean! read more

* Setting * This place is very busy especially in the evenings so just keep that in mind! Plenty of tables to sit (outside and indoors). Very clean. * Service * We waited around 5 minutes to get our order placed and they seemed to be in a hurry which I totally understand. I think staff had a lot of orders to make from mobile orders. We ended up ordering one drink which came out 10 minutes later with 2 groups in front of us. Overall they were nice and welcomed each person who walked in! * Food/Drinks* We came here an hour and a half before closing to order their karate chicken. Unfortunately, they said they stop making food already so we ended up ordering the Peach Me Sweet Tea. We got light sweetness but it was still pretty sweet probably because of the fruit bits. Overall this place is good just a bit sad about the food :' read more

I stopped by on a Thursday evening and decided to order the strawberry sensation (smoothie), I asked for no sweetness which is the lowest possible. All their milk teas have caffeine, or else I would've gotten one; at the time, they had just unrolled a new drink, mango milk tea. It was a bit of a long wait, around 15 minutes, even though there didn't seem to have been many orders ahead of mine. It seemed it was because the staff who took my order didn't communicate to the one making the drinks, so once I asked to check on the status, only then was the person making the drinnks aware and they prioritized my order immediately. The drink itself tasted fine, it was still somewhat sweet which I was glad for, and although it's a bit pricy, their cup size is massive so that made up for it. read more

Other then that the taste is consistent among other locations read more

First timer here! My friends and family are big tastea fans so I was excited to see what the big hype is all about. This location was busyyy but the staff was efficient at working the line and getting out drinks on a timely manner. I was so excited to see that they have stevia as a sweetener option! They also have dairy alternatives. I ordered a peach me sweetea with stevia sweetener with aloe. It was delicious and refreshing! I recommend going with a less sweet level because I can see it tasting too syrupy with more added. Can't wait to return and try more of their specialteas! read more
