Came here after noticing this place while getting Cicero's. Enticed by the buy 2 get 1 free special, decided to pop in for afternoon tea. The service was great. Woman working at the counter was super friendly, and with the special deal the total cost was around 15 dollars for 3 drinks not including tip. Major win in this economy. The drink itself wasn't too impressive, the pearls were really small and lacked flavor in my opinion. My oolong tea was just okay. The drink itself? Slightly disappointing. The service and price? Can't be beat. Truthfully would rate somewhere in between 3 and 4 stars, but yelp doesn't give half star options. read more

Lychee slushy with aloe Vera. And it was okay. Definitely refreshing. Service was quick and they give you a stamp card. It's a bit loud inside as there were many people just hanging out. Decor was cute. There's a giant drink at the entrance and there was I nice neon sign. read more

Fast and friendly service, decent milk tea but I prefer TP Tea's stronger tea. I got the Sun Moon Lake Tea and it was decent. Tea Top's egg pudding is great though! I can't wait to try more of their drinks and toppings. read more

I GREW UP GOING HERE SO I AM BIASED. I love their milk foam wintermelon but I messed up and tried to be healthy. I got it half sweet instead of the full like i normally do and it didnt taste as good. They have a decent amount of good drinks but i love wintermelon so much it has to be four stars read more

Stopped by Tea Top after dim sum. I ordered the strawberry green tea with boba. Tea flavor was ok, but boba was a bit inconsistent. Overall, ok spot. Would be open to trying it again to see if it was a one-off issue. Parking in the plaza can get busy during peak hours. read more

Tea Top is such a classic if you went to school in the cupertino area. I honestly haven't been back since high school. but I was pleasantly surprised. We got green tea with feng guo which is such a rare find as a topping. The feng guo here is better than Wanpo and TpTea. However, I prefer when it comes in bigger pieces like at Wanpo. I appreciate that they have honey as a sweetener option. I think the tea itself is great but TpTea and ChiCha has better green tea (but just marginally). Service was quick and the cups are super cute! read more

I came back with my boys for them to try this boba place. One got Mung Bean slushy while the other got milk tea with three toppings. I got my usual taro milk tea drink. Service was fast. There were tables inside that you can sit. Overall, I would come back and try a different drink if I want something different than taro. read more

The sugar level was just right for me, I got 30% sugar and it wasn't too sweet. I went on a weekday around lunch time so it was a little slow, but on the weekends I always see a lot of people here. The cashier was very friendly, they also have stamp cards for you to collect stamps and points. read more

With so many boba shops in this area, Tea Top stands out. They are located in a strip mall and serve all kinds of flavors. I had the taro milk tea with fresh taro and it was delicious - not too sweet or powdery. It was just right. I also loved the fresh chunks of taro inside. I'll certainly be coming back here to get my boba. read more

This place was bookmarked for so long, and I finally got to try Tea Top this past weekend! It is located in a large shopping plaza so there is plenty of parking spots in the lot. Although, it does get quite busy since there is a Safeway & large dim sum Chinese restaurant in the same plaza. I decided to try the pearl milk tea here. I like how the pearls are smaller, it's more fun to eat! I do wish I lowered the sweetness. I got regular sweet and it was a little too sweet for my liking; I generally have a sweet tooth where I usually get 70-100% on my boba drinks (depending on the store), but I'd probably get 50% or even 30% here. Even though it was a little sweet, I'd still come back to try other drinks on the menu! The customer service was also really nice and I got my drink fairly quickly. read more

Your boba is so good I like the milk tea with coffee jelly and grass jelly next time in one to tea too I'm gonna mango slushie

With so many boba shops in the area, I didn't try this one until now. I do have to say they have very nice texture for their boba, just the right amount of chewiness, probably one of the best in the area. The mung bean slushy was a bit sweet, even with 25% sweetness and the ice was not blended evenly. It was chunky at times. Overall, not bad. read more

Teatop is the original boba shop where my love of milk tea really began. The walkability and proximity to Safeway, the tables and chairs perfect for meeting up anytime: after school then and after work now (as long as its after 11:30am or before 9pm) made Teatop the go to spot from when it boba was still PMT till now. I'm happy to see that despite the years, they still offer their loyalty stamp card long after most boba shops have moved towards apps or stopped offering loyalty rewards, and that there continues to be a steady line of everyone from students to grandparents waiting for their orders. -Earl Grey 3Q (less ice, less sweet): still my go to order; a great mix of floral notes from the earl grey, milkiness that isn't too overpowering but not watery, and plenty of jelly, boba and grass jelly to satisfy both my desire for something to chew on and a bit of sweetness and tartness to keep the drink interesting. You can't go wrong with this order. Teatop will always be one of my go to boba shops, not just because it was my first go to boba shop, but because the tea and topping quality has stayed consistent, even if the prices haven't. And hey, at least you can still get a free drink every 10 drinks :) read more

The flavors of the tea is really good and yummy, this place have Taiwanese tea and original handmade and they have juice and slushy too. The inside restaurant is nice and comfortable because the space is big and a lot of tables. They have own machine to order or you can go to the cashier to order. read more

The first and probably best of the three Tea Tops. Their teas are rich and satisfying; I especially like their Earl Grey and Darjeeling, which as black teas go, are a nice break from the Assam (and occasional Ceylon) tea offered nearly every place else. Quality is pretty consistent (all 20+ of my orders here have turned out well), and all their employees seem to be pleasant. I believe their drinks are also a tad bigger than average too, at 26 oz (22-24 is more common). The drinks have gotten pretty expensive, though (above $7, or above $8 with one topping) -- the only thing keeping them out of 5-star territory in my book. read more

Leaving an updated review 8 years later...I ordered the same Signature Green Alpine Milk Tea drink and I thought it was okay at first, but as I kept drinking it, I felt it became more and more unappetizing. I just wasn't impressed by the flavor and I ended up giving my drink to my sister as soon as I got home. If I ever stop drinking a drink, that's when you know. I personally think it just wasn't the right drink flavor for me and I'm sure their other drinks are fine, as this is one of the more recommended boba shops in the Bay Area. But mainly writing this review as a reminder to myself that this isn't a top boba shop choice for me anymore! read more

Would recommend checking if you are part of a group or company qualifies for the Gold VIP (10%) discount with them. As TeaTop is a franchise, the discount is applicable as per individual locations. So while you may be able to apply for the discount at the Milpitas location, they won't let you use it here. They do have the occasional promotion, but they won't let you stack discounts or deals. This location is in Orchard Farms Shopping Center and has ALL the parking. I have never had trouble finding immediate parking as it's a bit out of the main bulk of Cupertino's traffic (that's directly up the street where Steven Creek's Main Street Cupertino is), even with the schools immediately surrounding this plaza. Unlike the other spots, this is the only store in the area that does online ordering, which you can do through both the TeaTop USA website and Yelp. TeaTop a Taiwanese franchise partnered with a tea enterprise that includes a long-standing tea brand, Chang Sun Tea. As such, it could be said that TeaTop's specialty and the tea that is specific to them is their Alpine green tea drinks. In fact, the menu has a variety of actual teas that they use in their tea drinks, including earl grey, oolong, Darjeeling, and the Taiwanese Sun Moon Lake black tea. And while they have popular flavors and drink types (brown sugar, milk foam, lattes, etc.), there are also more Asian-specific flavors such as mung bean, wintermelon, aiyu, and red bean. As a result, it's a convenient boba place when we have a family gathering or visiting relatives, as there's something for everyone in terms of generation and home-based preferences. Overall, TeaTop is a reliable favorite and I really appreciate those stamp cards. Can't combine them, but they gather like dust bunnies and we actually managed to finish a few at this point. It's a treat for on the way home or when I need to take people out after dinner. I think the Top 10 drinks (from the Top 10 menu) are probably the most reliable in terms of being good. The family favorites are the passionfruit tea medley, Alpine green tea, and earl grey milk tea. However, I also regularly get the pearl matcha latte at 50% as it's the perfect blend of not overly sweet or bitter. read more

I am so glad I checked on yelp. I saw that everyone was really liking the sun moon lake milk tea so I asked how that would be. Kadenz said it would hit pretty silky. I'm the type of person who has a hard time making decisions and Nick suggested I have a sample. The moment I tasted it I knew I was sold. What great service. Friendly. Kind. Nick and kadenz got you. The ambiance is chill, the christmas decors were so cute. I loved it. It is a nice cozy place to chill. Animal crossing on the tv? Hell yeah. I feel welcome. Love this place. I will definitely be back. Here I thought this would be a one time visit to shabuya. Nah, I will be back for tea for sure. Thanks kadenz and nick! read more

Tea Top - Sun moon lake hot and the milk tea with boba 80% sweet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I must have tried the wrong drink this time Lemon juice with aiyu jelly, 50 % sweet It just tasted like water with a hint of lemon, not exactly tart or sweet --just tastes like water The aiyu jelly were just three tiny pieces as if there was really no topping really. Pass--- do NOT recommend The other drink which we have before (much better in the past) was the mango slushy and that used to be good but this time ---also tasted like just ice, although there was enough Boba topping which is extra $.70 taking this Boba shop out of our rotation for the summer definitely Other better boba drinks for the same price in this area. read more

Service here was quick and friendly. Our cashier greeted us, recommended sweetness level for our drinks, and we received our drinks in less than 10mins. Ambiance here is very casual thus, attracting a younger crowd. Tbh I didn't like any of our drinks. We got a mixture of 100% and 75% sweetness but all of them were bland. I could not taste the tea at all except earl grey tea, but the drink itself was still bland. read more

My friends and I came here for a drink and ended up lounging for a couple hours. Wow this place is super popular, there was a consistent long line the entire time we were there. Make sure to ask for a punch card if you plan to visit often. I have been loving taro so when I saw the taro milk slushy, I had to get it. I got it with boba.. and as you can see in my picture.. it looks like they dumped in the syrup they had cooked the pearls in so the bottom of the drink was super sweet. Really wished they did a better job in filtering that out. Also, the boba balls were a bit on the mushier side. I would rate the overall drink a 3/5. Definitely would like to visit again and give it another chance and try out the other drinks. read more

Tea Top - Mango Slushy & Taro Milk Slushy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Yum! My go-to when I'm in the area and want a boba that's guaranteed to be good. There are so many boba spots in Cupertino, but Tea Top delivers every time for me. Even though it's usually pretty busy, the drinks come out quickly and the line moves fast. My favorite is the Earl Grey with 3Q (50 sweet/50 ice) but instead of grass jelly I get the mango pudding (it's so good!). On my most recent visit, 50% is a tad too sweet for me so I'll probably get the next sweetness level down. read more

Underrated tea shop in the South Bay! Good cup size for the price and I love how fragrant their tea tastes. They have lots of unique toppings that are not very common too.

I'll need to revisit to try out the new menu items. read more

It was a hot day today. My friends and I came here for the first time to get some drinks to cool off. The Fresh Milk Trifecta is the worst combination, the red bean was way too sweet, the tapioca was a little bit sweet, and the grass jelly has no taste, it didn't taste right mixed together. The Taro Milk Tea w/Sago had the perfect amount of sweetness, but with very little taro chunks. Same thing with the Pearl Milk Tea with Red Bean, the tea taste was good but the red bean was too sweet. :( read more

I love Tea Top! Located right next door to Dr. Nazaar's dental office. I can't help but stop by after my appointments each time. I've never had a bad drink here and especially in love with the Boba Milk Tea with Red Bean. If you do order this drink, you could probably go for zero sugar since the red bean is already sweetened. The service is always on par, super friendly and quick! The ambiance is pretty quiet and clean as well. They do have WiFi and a couple tables, in case you want to get a little work done. Highly recommend Tea Top!! read more
