Boba is too sweet, asked them to get it less sweet and they made it seem like an inconvenience. I heard them talking behind the counter saying "is this her first time asking for her drink fixed". Does this matter? Takoyaki wouldve been good if they didn't drown it in sauce. Owners are unfriendly. Just go to another spot to get boba. read more

I came here to get some boba and do some work. They do have free wifi, which I always appreciate. I got just a regular milk tea with boba and it was decent. I also tried the regular black tea and it was alright as well. Overall, their menu is not as unique as a lot of other boba places and their drinks were just okay. Their logo design is really pretty though. read more

I know you're not supposed to go to a tea place for food primarily, especially when you're not a boba drinker.... but I was starving... - Chicken corn crepe (~$6.5/ 2 stars): pulled chicken breast, canned corn and some mayo drizzle. good portions of chicken, but the crepe itself tasted more like a fortune cookie and kept breaking off in crunchy pieces to the floor... - Mint mojito (~$4.5/3 stars): decent green tea drink, though I prefer teaquation since the lime and mint were not very strong. Decently cheap, ample seating, friendly service and some interesting chocolate frappuccino looking things. read more

Drinks are amazing! I usually just get t4, itea, gong cha, or shade tea, but this place is amazing and if it was close by I would definitely juSt have this everyday. They do take a long time to make the drinks, but they tend to it pretty well and always make it perfect! The aroma and the taste is amazing. The only thing that's annoying is that usually during after school hours the students from a local private school goes here and their just way too immature and annoying. The cashier is is slow too, but the drinks are amazing. The drinks are really sweet so make sure to adjust the sugar. read more

I work in Mountain View and saw that Tea Annie was a fairly new boba place. I came in and asked for recommendations. Tried a couple samples, but decided to order the Earl Grey Milk tea with boba. The lady that helped me was nice, but I specifically asked if they were still doing the check-in offer on Yelp, which is 10% your order. The total came out to $4.17, including the 10% off which was pretty expensive. I think I will stick to the boba places close to home, which are cheaper and better in taste. This place also gives a stamp card, so if you really like this place, you would get a free boba after a certain amount of purchases. The Earl Grey milk tea was okay. You can taste the Earl Grey, but it is on the sweet side. I probably should've asked for half the sugar or something. The boba was nice and soft and was made fresh, since I felt the warmth of the boba against the cup. If I am craving boba, I don't know if I would give it another try. It was just okay. read more

It's delicious!! I ordered early grey milk tea with boba. The tea and boba are really flavorful with the just right sweetness. The boss is super nice and kind. Great service! Can't wait to try to green tea leaf I bought today read more

Pretty good bubble tea! I ordered the black tea with soy milk and boba, as well as a $2 corn dog which tasted just like the ones at the fair! The tea had strong flavor and lots of boba, and the size was just like every other bubble tea restaurant - large, almost Starbucks venti size, and fairly priced. The restaurant itself was quaint and heavily staffed. There were plenty of tables inside to sit at, and I even saw a few people with Subway sandwiches from next door eating their food while enjoying their boba. So apparently outside food is welcome. Additionally, I think this would be an ok place to work remotely if you wanted. read more

I'm always on the lookout for a new boba place to try. Yesterday, I decided to stop by Tea Annie because I liked that they had a lot of different options that you don't usually see elsewhere. I ordered the Rose Iron Goddess Tea with 0% sugar and boba. The tea flavor is pretty good. My favorite type of tea is oolong and it reminded me of a roasted oolong flavor. It wasn't bitter even though I got 0%, which was nice. However, I didn't really taste any rose flavor. Also, the boba was kinda hard so that bumped it down to a 3 star for me. Boba quality is extremely important and it was just very average. It felt like the same quality I could make at home if I had this particular tea. Nonetheless, it was a refreshing good-sized drink on a hot day. read more

Sweet honey boba, perfectly crispy japanese style crepe.

unfortunately, the matcha latte with almond milk here was REALLY bland and watery, and the matcha powder was clumped and made the drink too bitter. i think it may have been the barista who made my drink since my drink came out PERFECTLY last time i visited tea annie :'( minus that, i like that this boba shop gives free samples, which makes it easier to figure out which drinks taste good. also, if you are not picky with your boba, as i am, the free wifi that tea annie offers customers makes this place a convenient and quiet spot to study and hang out with friends. read more

great selection. i order them with 0% or 25% sugar. not too sweet but still delicious oloong. very reasonalby priced! Lots of toppings too, I am just not a topping kind of a guy read more

Strawberry Milk Tea with Boba. Pretty typically. Hits the spot. Appreciate the size of the drink for the price. Most places charge similar but you get half the size of the drink so definitely good value spot! read more

Tea Annie - Cashier - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Altos , California

I absolutely love spontaneous boba finds and Tea Annie was quite the pleasant surprise on a hot July afternoon. After enjoying the sights of the Palo Alto Art festival, the hubby and I were craving something cool for our parched throats and like the boba fanatic I am, I quickly looked up a new destination and decided on Tea Annie. The location of Tea Annie isn't the most ideal since the plaza lacks foot-traffic of thirsty patrons, but at least parking is a breeze. The parlor is clean with bright colors and plenty of seating. The menu is organized onto three different television screens: Annie's Specialties, Annie's Tea Selections, and Annie's Afternoon tea, which is further divided into special types of herbal teas and snacks. The hubby and I had such a hard time choosing, but he eventually decided to get the peppermint oreo milk tea. Of course, we were expecting a tea with oreo and peppermint flavor, but the cashier informed us it was actually a slushy. WEIRD...It was the same case for the oreo milk tea as well. They definitely need to fix the wording on that. For myself, I decided to get the vanilla oolong milk tea with no additional topping, light ice, and at 80% sweetness. Drinks didn't take too long to make and the minute I saw the hubby's drink, I knew I had to try that first. As the name suggests, it tasted EXACTLY like an oreo slushy with peppermint flavor. The hubby greatly enjoyed it, noting how it wasn't too icy, but definitely cool enough for the hot weather. He happily sipped away without a single complaint. As for my vanilla oolong milk tea, I was pleasantly surprised at how light in flavor it was. If I hadn't known it was vanilla, I definitely wouldn't have guessed it, but I could tell that there was some other flavor there besides oolong, adding a nice creamy element. Really good! Tea Annie might not have looked like much when we first arrived, but I'm thrilled to say it exceeded our expectations. While the name of the drinks need some work, it doesn't take away from how great they taste. I'm certain we will be back again! read more

Me and my family went to tea Annie for some refreshing drinks. My kids got drinks with 50% sweetness and since I don't like my boba tea too sweet, I ordered mine with 25% sweetness. We felt that the drinks were too sweet and not corresponding to the level of sweetness that we had ordered. It felt as if they were 100% sweetness. The reason that this isn't one star is because the boba pearls were really good. read more

It's still sweet when you ask for 50% less sweet. I got the original to try it out since my co-worker recommended. One door to order and another door to pick up. It's inside a strip mall. read more

Only place to get milk tea early in the morning. The tea here is aromatic and delicious! Uses fresh milk (not powder). Flavoring is on the sweeter side so order less sweet than you would typically order. read more

Pretty decent place. The drinks were ok I guess. Tbh I would've ranked this place w a 3 but the food was its saving grace. I ordered 7 milk teas and I know it's tea mixed w milk but the ratio between milk and tea was just too much. All I tasted was sweet milk and not a lot of tea. Brothers said the drink was mediocre and ok. Shouldve just went back home to Oakland if I wanted boba. The food on the other hand was greAT. Ordered a few crepes but my most fav was the spicy Hawaiian crepe, filled w cheese ham pineapples and jalapeños. Sooo good. Orders my kid brothers fish and chips+ calamaris + more crepes and they really enjoyed snacking on those. read more

Their plant milk tea looks super cute! It's a very creative concept (although it wasn't as delicious as it looked). The best part about the drink were the Oreo crumbs! However, when I asked the server if she could provide some more crumbs, she kept hesitating. I told her that I could pay extra, to which she said that they don't have a set amount they charge. I just offered her a dollar. She took it and gave me 1cm extra of the Oreo crumbs. Disappointed. read more

Long overdue review! Tea Annie has great tea. None of that watery, light flavored stuff. You know it's real when it makes you pee a lot. We arrived close to closing time and the lights were off. The manager was locking up, but noticed us pulling up and reopened everything up so that I could get my boba fix! Great customer service. Thanks, it was a boba emergency! ;) read more

parking space is plenty. ambience is just ok. staffs are nice and service is just ok. they do not only sell some drinks but also foods. tried the spring rolls and taste just ok. the hot thai tea tastes fine, quite similar with at other boba tea stores. the peach jasmine green tea is recommended. the jasmine green tea is so fresh and can taste the peach ~ they blended perfectly... read more

Great drink selection and boba at this establishment. A staple boba shop near my home.

Fruit tea is yummy! Real fruit! 25% sweetness, which was amply sweet enough. The fruit is cut too big to drink through the straw, which is a bit of a pain, so you have to fish it out with your fingers or makeshift straw chopsticks. Hubs got grapefruit green tea. 25% sweetness w/ boba. Weird combo. Boba was hard, not a big fan. Mango smoothie was good, but would get it less sweet next time. Love that they brew their own tea. - a star for hard boba. Service could be friendlier. Love the samples! read more

Our first time at Tea Annie and we suspect that we'll be back! It's in one of those shopping complexes so it's easy to find and plenty of parking. However, the space is fairly small inside (maybe 4-5 tables?). There are also additional benches outside, so if it's nice out, you can sit out there and enjoy your boba! No bike parking though that we saw in the whole complex. The menu is fairly intensive. You can pick something straight off the menu or you can customize your drinks with other things. There are also lots of different snacks you can buy, such as pastries or crepes. We haven't tried these, but I like the options! Some sweet crepes, some savory snacks--it looks like you can easily get a snack while here. There were also little containers with tea leaves available at the counter that you can sniff and smell the different options. I definitely want to try one of the pineapple teas or maybe the apple pie tea next time. They also had a few samples of the teas at the counter. AND they were selling reusable straw sets! A rose gold or silver set of a boba straw, a regular straw, and a straw cleaner for $16.95 (plus tax). I got the lychee slushie with lychee popping pearls and the hubby got the mango smoothie with mango popping pearls! I LOVE that this place offers popping pearls, as this is the first tea place we've been to that has them! And they have several flavors, too, which is awesome! It was a fairly hot day, so the smoothie and the slushie were refreshing and very tasty! I think next time we'll have to try some of the actual teas. I would love to see a green tea smoothie mix on the menu or something similar, but it seems that the smoothies/slushies are all ice/fruit mixes. Anyway, overall, very refreshing and we'll need to come back and try more! read more

As someone named Annie I'm sad to share a name with this place. We ordered the milk tea with boba at 50% sweet - it tastes like sugar water. WAY too sweet and can't taste any tea at all. read more

I've been coming here since they've opened. I have never had a bad drink from here. They are really safe due to COVID. There's a table at the front where you place your order and the other door to the side is where you pick it up. It's very efficient and safe for the staff and customers. I came here with my Mom today to get some boba. I didn't wait in line because the people in front of us already put their order in. I ordered the new Okinawa milk tea (brown sugar tea) and my Mom got the strawberry tea (no milk). My Mom loves their strawberry tea, it's her favorite from all the boba shops in Mountain View/Los Altos. This is because they give a lot of strawberry chunks in the tea. My favorite drinks from here is almond milk tea, vanilla oolong milk tea, and peach tea (no milk). They also have non-dairy options here if you're lactose intolerant like my sister. Out of all the boba places in Mountain VIew they are the most consistent with the sweetness level, I always get 50% sweet in my drinks and it actually tastes like it's 50%. (Some places it's always too sweet or no sugar at all when you get 50%.) read more

I had the afternoon shift at work so didn't have to go in to the office until later that afternoon. I decided to come here with hubby to check out their crepes and drinks. We ordered the plant tea and the California crepe. Both were super delicious. The crepe was ginormous. They do stamp cards but you don't get a free drink like many drink places; instead, you get $3.50 off your 11th drink after buying 10 drinks. The cashier girl was very nice however, I knocked off 1 star because the gentlemen in the back making crepe (I believe is the owner) didn't seem to be treating the cashier girl nicely. He was ordering her around and telling her to hurry up. Come on dude, it was just my husband and I when we got there. What's the rush? Then, while we were waiting for our crepe, another customer came in and he again was telling the girl to help the other customer. Hey, he (customer) wasn't ready to order; he was still reviewing the menu. Ahya! Chill dude. And if you're all rushing, get my crepe ready. Let the girl do her job! Stop micromanaging. read more

I was so excited that I found this place with good Yelp rating and wanting to try the organic butterfly tea with lemon; it tasted actually like a fancy lemonade with a lot of ice. I double checked with the cashier if the tea is with the right amount of ice; and it was confirmed. The drink I ordered was 50% less sugar, so I was expecting the drink should be more on the sour side; however, it tasted really artificially sweet; thus, I highly suspect the drink is made with lemonade syrupy or some kind of sweetener. I tried the Oolong tea and it was water down...overall all, really disappointed :( read more

Local boba shop that will satisfy you in a pinch if you're craving boba. I don't really like their tea and the boba isn't great. Their crepes aren't fantastic either but you can't go wrong with them. If you're hungry/thirsty this place will suffice but not too special. read more

There are a ton of milk tea places these days. Unfortunately few of them are of quality. I miss the old Lucy's in downtown who was there years before any of the craze came. She made only one choice and it was awesome. Miss the old days. I digress...Tea Annie takes over the long standing froyo place that was in this Safeway strip mall. It's been hot these days so cold drinks in the late afternoon is a regular scheduled event these days. Great Oolong milk tea hit's the spot. The workers are friendly and the quality of the tea is high. Definitely glad to see a great new tea place pop up read more

Theres a new boba place right in the middle of a Los Altos neighborhood! Seems like Los Altos is bandwagoning on the boba trend, this being the second one opening up within the year. This place is fairly new as you tell on yelp with no phone number or hours listed, but i think they close at 8 or they're still testing out their hours of operation. My friend and i came in one night to try it out and the first thing i noticed was how quiet it was cause there was no music playing. However, the girl who greeted us was very pleasant and was open to answering any questions we had about the tea. The menu is pretty flashy and cutesy, but it seems out of place for a cafe. We ordered Black milk tea and Sakura green tea. Both of which tasted fresh and refreshing! We decided to sit around and admire the place and realized that when the second group of ppl came in, that the lack of music made this group sound super loud and whle place echoed s it was hard to hear eachother. After awhile of sitting down, who im guessi g is the owner came around and gave each table a free drink! Peach black tea with mango popping boba and crema! Will be back! read more

Tea Annie is an excellent bike ride destination with my son. He likes the slushie with boba, and I get green milk tea. 50% sugar is about as sweet as we care to go. Their salty fried chicken is pricey, but has good flavor. I'd also echo the comment about appreciating their precautions during covid. read more

I got the Earl Grey milk tea with almond milk and lavender flavor, and I did not enjoy it. I don't know if it was the specific batch or just the almond milk but it tasted off and very sweet (like artificially sweetened). It was very orange too, not like usual black milk tea. I drank about less than half and couldn't drink it any more. I did smell the teas they have up front and I wish I had tried the rose iron goddess oolong tea. I may just have to come back and give a second try, but the one I got was not a good drink. The drink my friend got (white grape oolong) was not bad, which is why I think I just chose the wrong drink to try. read more

Tea Annie's is my favorite boba/tea spot in the Bay Area. Since they first opened they've added so many amazing things to their menu, including the Blue Butterfly lemon tea (which is caffeine free!). My boyfriend gets the Toffee black tea with milk and boba every time. So apparently that's a good one too! The owners are so nice. I have questions every time I order and they are all about making sure you like what you get. I really need to try the crepes because it always smells amazing. read more

We stopped in Tea Annie for a quick lunch + bubble tea in the middle of a weekday and it was quite pleasant. The crepes are quite sizeable and tasty, and the bubble tea selection is good while allowing you to select your sugar levels as well. Not quite as many toppings selections as some establishments, but I only ever order the plain boba anyways! There's not a lot of food options available, but if you're in the mood for crepes, Tea Annie is a fine possibility. It's in a shopping complex, so there's plenty of parking. read more

Woohoo! I'm excited to see a new boba shop in Mountain View. There are so many in the Bay Area, but I'm always open to seeing and trying new things. The shop is located in a big plaza and is across the lot from the Mountain Mikes. The menu is simple -- chose from their teas on one board or from their specialties on board #2 and add some toppings from board #3. I got the plant milk tea, which I didn't see on the menu. I liked that I could taste the tea since I like my drinks strong. I'm a sucker for cute looking drinks like plant milk teas :) The boba was nice and chewy too. They have a couple tables inside or you can take your drinks outside and sit on a bench. read more

One of my favorite boba spots. It truly is a hidden gem. I LOVE that they use fresh tea instead of powder. I love tea and this place has got it down. What pushed me to write a review is that I've been here several times and EVERY SINGLE TIME it's been perfect! Today I came in and the owner, Annie, was super helpful. I wanted something warm as I've been sick and have a bit of a sore throat. Annie kindly told me that almost everything can be made hot which was a nice surprise! I wanted starring night which I've had before but it was sold out. She made three recommendations and since they have samples to smell I made a decision and got Provence which is just delicious! The price is super fair and it wasn't too hot! It was perfect and I was able to drink it right away :) thank you so much! read more
