Came here for the first time during a visit to Redwood City / Atherton, and I really liked my drink! I got the Silky Mango boba with regular milk, and it was sooo good. The only thing that would have made it better is fresh mango pieces. I especially liked the honey boba--it tasted fresh and the consistency / chewiness was great. I usually don't finish all the bubbles when I get boba, but these bubbles were so good that I hunted down every last one among all the ice at the bottom. The store itself has some tables available, but we just ended up getting our drinks to go. The ambiance isn't as "cute" as other bubble tea shops, but all in all, I was pleased with my bubble tea! read more

My mom loves this place . She seems to Love the coconut drinks best. Nice view of people walking by as i wait for my drink. The music in here is pretty good. I got the latte and it didn't disappoint. read more

Fantastic place to grab a quick drink! My favorite part is that you can ask for 0% sweetness even on their special drinks. 0% is by far enough because the honey boba and the creme brulee foam by themselves are already sweet. I got the Ube Astra which was packed with ube and coconut, absolutely delicious. The creme brulee foam didn't integrate super well with the rest of the drink and I'd recommend just blending it in directly next time. Honey boba on the bottom was super tasty and always a fun challenge to try and snipe the last few boba off the bottom of the cup with the straw. I'm intrigued by the Black Sesame version that they also offer and might get that one the next time I am back up north in the area! read more

Pretty solid place for boba. I've come in a few times now and it's always been good. I like that you order on a tablet since it gives me time to browse the menu and customize my drink without feeling rushed. Service is usually really fast, and the interior is clean and well kept. read more

Wasn't aware teaspoon meant one teaspoon of tea. Ordered the peach oolong tea with house cream and was unfortunately disappointed in the lack of flavor. Aside from the mango jelly ordered along with the drink, it was practically flavorless. The lids also need some work, it easily broke after trying to pierce it with the straw. 1/5 stars read more

I used to love this place and was a regular but it seems like they're struggling to maintain quality, and with so many competitors around there are other options. Recently, I'm bummed to see the crystal Boba go, and we swapped over to a honey crystal Boba. It seems like corporate has become more commercial, sacrificing quality. I will say that the staff at this location or friendly and I always see what appears to be maybe the manager/owner and her daughter who are really kind and helpful. There are some benches available as well as tables which make for good stop if you need to pop up a laptop or have a small meet up read more

Stopped by Teaspoon this afternoon and it hit the spot. The inside is cute,bright, clean, and perfect for grabbing a quick drink or hanging out for a bit. The staff was friendly and helped double check our order to make sure it was correct. They also have the option to order on the touch screen kiosk with snackpass and the staff will call your number when your order is ready. I got the Silky Mango, I'm obsessed. It's smooth, refreshing, and not overly sweet, just the right balance. The mix of mango with a creamy twist makes it feel almost like a dessert, but way lighter. It also comes with honey boba. It was the perfect refreshing drink for a warm day. Definitely coming back to try more drinks, but cant go wrong with the Silky Mango. There is parking around the redwood city downtown area, but the lots can get crowded. There is limited indoor seating, just a few tables so i would recommend ordering to-go. there are also a lot of restaurants nearby within walking distance so its a great drink option after a meal! They no longer serve the snow ice at this location but am hoping it might make an appearance for summer. read more

We waited a bit long for the drink. The wait time can be better. My son only ordered one drink, the Mango Funtime, but took longer than expected. Other than that, my son likes the drink. read more

When this place first opened, it was a refreshing moment for the boba scene. A local place that explores fruity flavours and use premium dairy products, it was a step above some of the run of the mill boba places, and I find the flavour profiles better than Boba Guys (I grew up with boba back in Taiwan so shush). My cousins from Taiwan think it's pretty decent. Now that the dust has settled a bit, with Teaspoon expanding into some other cities, it is no longer the newcomer darling but I do still like their seasonal fruity flavours, and their honey boba. However, the quality can waver a bit and it's no longer as consistent. When it's good, it's so darn good! When it's average it bums me out a bit. It's still a great place to stop by for some boba in RWC, and the staff and owner are always so nice. read more

I got the House Milk Tea, 50% sweet and added boba. Boba is a nice texture, drink isn't very sweet. I ordered ahead and drinks were ready when I got here. No one else is here at 5pm on a Monday. read more

Needed a caffeine pick me up, so decided to check out Teaspoon. The Dirty Ube caught my attention, and I quite enjoyed this drink. The coffee wasn't bitter, the ube flavor came through, and it wasn't too sweet. read more

Do not get the double matcha here! Waste of $, literally taste like milk. The color is not even close to the double matcha at the other teaspoon location. Sadness..... $8 for a cup of milk read more

I've been to a few of their locations, and they never disappoint. It was my first time here in Redwood City, and I tried the: Matcha royal mango with oatmilk no boba- so amazing. I loved being able to see the layers, and I could definitely taste the mango. Surprisingly, the oat milk or the matcha didn't overpower the mango. The flavors were just right, and I couldn't get enough. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Located in downtown Redwood City! Super cute interior with some seating, and a pretty mural decorating the outside. This location is clean, and the service is friendly. Parking is also pretty easy! I frequent Teaspoon's and their drinks are always great. Today I got the house milk tea with boba and the grasshopper. The milk tea is always good, but it was my first time trying to grasshopper (lychee green tea with cucumber juice). It was super refreshing and perfectly sweet for me at 50%. We added boba to both drinks, and the total was around $13. Drinks came out quickly, but it was not very busy for a Sunday. Would visit again! read more

I got the seasonal Banana milk latte with pudding. They didn't have any of honeycomb crumbs which usually come with it but otherwise still very good! Pleasant banana taste that isn't overwhelming and compliments the coffee well. My husband got his usual milk tea but said it was too watery today. They aren't consistent with their milk tea. read more

This was our go to spot for milk tea when we lived in Redwood City. It was nostalgic to return a year after we moved. The menu has expanded so we tried their new and seasonal drinks. Pumpkin King With Brown Sugar Crystals: You can really taste the pumpkin, the tea, & crystal flavors separately as they hit your taste buds at different times. It literally is a pumpkin pie in a drink form so this was quite an interesting experience. Matcha Royale With Strawberries: This definitely rivals Boba Guy's version but is sweeter for sure. There's a lot of honey and the strawberry puree is also sweeten. I would stick to their regular stable drinks since that's what they do best. read more

Not busy on a Friday evening around 6. Cashier nice, drink didn't take too long to come out. Got a lychee on lychee. Not anywhere near enough lychee jelly, there was barely any there. See photo. Maybe Teaspoon is going downhill, my taro drink last visit (albeit to Burlingame location, not RC) was super light on taro topping. I used to like Teaspoon but I don't think I'll be back to this chain. The price is simply not worth it if they're skimping. read more

While in the heart of RWC, we stopped by Teaspoon for some drinks. Street parking available with meters. Very cute and clean indoors. Friendly service. We ordered the taro lover. I was a bit bummed because the taro chunks were more so gritty than smooth in chunks. Will have to try a different drink next time. read more

The other day I placed an order on the phone and they didn't even have my drink. Called DoorDash and cancelled the order. DoorDash came back on the phone (after they contacted Teaspoon) and said they have your order. I replied I am on the highway already cancel my order. Another day went in to pick up my order. They said macha wasn't made today it'll be just a minute. After 5-6 minutes, I asked again about my order. Person yelled back to someone in the back area. "Is the macha ready!?" I could tell she was pissed off, or stressed out. I asked should I and see if the macha was made today? No answered. A young woman came from the back and I asked her and she said yes. I wanted to get rewards program so today I ordered using the teaspoon ap and I kept getting error message. Went into store and they said ap is down. Good product but not worth the headache. read more

Atmosphere was great, and the drinks were wonderful. The Boba was very well done and flavorful. The drinks were neither overly sweet or bland, they were mixed to perfection. All the servers that were here today were wonderful, and made sure to greet us with a smile. I don't usually come through this area, but I will be sure to return here. read more

Was so excited to see a Teaspoon in the area and had to stop by! Got the White Crystal, which is a white grape infused oolong tea with crystal pearls. The oolong tea flavor is a bit mild, but the pearls were good and overall flavor was quite good. I've gotten the Silky Strawberry at another location which I'd probably just get again next time. The drinks aren't very tea-forward so it may be better to get a non-tea focused drink. Still a great spot and would def come back! read more

Teaspoon - Bubble Tea Near Me - Redwood City, California

COVID-19 update: So the one craving that has been hard to satisfy during shelter-in-place is boba. Today I knew I'd be out in Redwood City anyways, so I figured I'd give Teaspoon a try. I placed an order through Yelp/Grubhub, not totally sure if it would work since I tried the online ordering at some point last year and they weren't accepting online orders. Fortunately this time I received confirmation of my desired pick-up window. I parked nearby and walked over. Everyone making drinks was wearing masks. The front door was propped open, and just inside there was a table set up to block people from coming in. There was a bag with my name on it so I picked it up and was on my way. The worst part of the experience is that, as a result of going through boba withdrawal, I drank mine too quickly and felt jittery for a little while afterwards. Other than that, Teaspoon hit the spot and was a painless order online and pickup experience. read more

Comes here atleast twice in a week to try out the different handcrafted tea. This time I got the Taro one with additional mango jelly and some chunks of taro. Try this if you are a taro lover, because the name of the drink is also called TARO LOVER read more

High Mountain Oolong tea with cream and coffee jelly. One thing that I have to mention is that the workers here look sooooo miserable. Like the joker asked, "Why the sad face?" I mean, they looked tired and angry as if they had been working a 12 hour shift mining coal. The cashier repeated my order with such a bitter tone in her voice that I thought maybe I did something wrong by coming here for some tea. Then they screamed out my name even though I was standing right there and there were only 2 other people there. The drink itself was okay. read more

Good and decent service. It's the closest boba place from my office so it's convenient for me to stop by as a reward for taking a walk during my lunch break lol. I recently tried the cucumber drink and it was pretty good but doesn't pair well with boba? Maybe bc im not used to it. Boba tastes decent. Have come here a few times and enjoyed the drinks. read more

I got the guava sunrise with no ice and added lychee jelly. It was pretty good especially with how hot it was yesterday but I wish I'd been able to adjust the sweetness level to extra sweet (they only had regular and less sweet). read more

Not the most impressive bubble tea and expensive. I've been here a few times and the selection is ok. Ok selection of add ins such as tapioca or puddings. You can adjust ice on anything, but be warned you cannot adjust sweetness on a number of orders such as the Thai tea or the caramel cream drink . I'm not a huge fan of super sweet drinks so not being able to adjust sweetness is a pretty big con. I recently had the creamy jasmine and at 25% sweetness it was already plenty of sugar. Some drinks also taste kinda artificial like the caramel cream. Parking in the area is tough during the day and definitely metered, but the location is near courthouse square or the theatre which is convenient to other events in town or other eateries. read more

Hours aren't updated so it was closed a number of times that we tried to go. Been in the past and it's been good. Please update your hours so we can avoid this bummer! read more

I tried the Caramel Cream with honey boba and it was pretty good. I usually stick to 50% sweetness, but this one was a tad too sweet to me, so maybe I'll go with 25% next time. The honey boba was soft and chewy. The shop was closing when I got there, but the folks working here didn't mind too much and took our orders. read more

Some of their specialty drinks are hit or miss. My go to drink from their list is the strawberry sangria. This drink is very refreshing. Tea flavor is not too strong and the bits of fresh strawberries add the perfect sweetness. Teaspoon offers many toppings such as popping boba, which is not available at most boba shops. I've only ordered through the app which made the process contactless. I always have to go inside to check if my order is ready because they seem to forget to update the status as complete until an hour later. The app has great perks to rack up points and get rewards, such as a free drink! read more

Would I come back: ALWAYS DO!!!!! Boba: Peach Mojito with Honey Boba and Almond Pudding - 5/5 - So I have to say this is the benchmark for me. The flavor is absolutely AMAZING in my opinion. The toppings here are also slightly different compared to other boba shops I have been to. Perhaps it's the almond pudding. If I'm close to the area I WILL make a special trip. Service: 4/5 - Friendly staff. Ambiance: 4/5 - It's a cute spot if you want to have a sit and chat. There's also a little patio area in front which good on a sunny day. read more

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Teaspoon. It's my go-to place every time I go to Redwood City or San Mateo area for work. I would make a stop here even if it's out of the way. With the COVID precautions recently, I decided to download their app and give it a try. Its actually really easy to use and fast. I always order via the app now. Plus they have a Promo of $5 coupon if you download their app, so what are you waiting for! Free Drink? Heck ya! You can still order in the store but its much faster to get it through the app. No waiting and no lines. The drink is ready at the front of the store for you to grab and go! I've gotten a few different drinks before including the Japanese Rice milk tea, Earl Grey Milk Tea, House milk tea, and Roasted Oolong Milk Tea. I decided the Honey Oolong Milk Tea (75% sweet & regular ice) with Almond pudding is my favorite and my go to. The Honey Oolong give the drink a savory complex sweetness that isn't overly sweet but just the right amount and the Oolong flavor gives just the right balance to counter the sweetness. And of course Almond pudding is my favorite so, of course, I need to add that everytime. I grew up in southern california (SGV) and had moved to Bay Area just a few years ago and I think that Teaspoon may be my favorite milk tea drink place even including the SGV places which is saying a lot! Will be coming back again soon! read more

Good ol' Teaspoon. For some odd reason, this location never did give me that regular Teaspoon vibe. I'm a fan of the drinks here but not so much for the snow ice (too sweet most of the time). While the staff provide excellent service here, there's still something that I'd like to point out. Their five star tablet was out of commission for quite sometime (2 months?) and during which, you had to write down your info manually to have the points added when the system's back online. Unfortunately, this never did happen. We came to this particular location at least ten times during system outage and none of them were credited... read more
