I love the variety of options at The Teaspoon! It's great that you can customize your sugar and ice levels so easily. The menu has a nice mix of classic milk teas and more creative fruit-based drinks. The staff is very helpful if you're unsure what to order. read more

New weekend, so I tried another boba place! This one is in a busy complex off Almaden Expressway, with lots of competing businesses (including an Ume tea two doors down that I'll have to check out in the future). This is one of those complexes that has a large parking lot, but I feel like everyone drives too aggressively. Easy enough to find parking. When I walked in, I was greeted in a friendly manner, which is not always something that happens in tea shops. I ordered the lychee tea with lychee, and got it at half sweetness, and it was perfectly refreshing. Drinks are made quickly and efficiently. They do have a bit of space if you want to sit and drink, but it is not really a spot where I could see someone socializing or studying. read more

We stopped by Teaspoon after lunch for some drinks. It wasn't busy at all. We checked out the menu and placed our order at the kiosk. I ordered the peach Oolong tea and my husband ordered the honeycomb banana latte. Our drinks were ready in 5 minutes. There are some places to sit inside to have your drink but we decided to drink them on our way home. The peach tea was very refreshing. I really enjoyed it. The honeycomb banana latte was also very good. Both drinks were made perfectly to our specifications. We will be back to try other flavors. read more

We placed an order through DoorDash when my coworkers and I were craving some boba. The drinks arrived nice and cold, which was a plus. We all enjoyed them and will definitely be ordering from this place again! read more

Gets the job done when I'm craving for a boba milk tea (all the time since I'm a boba addict), but not my top choice. I really wish they would allow for sugar customization on the thai tea. For whatever reason, their thai tea is pre-sweetened to where you're unable to customize your sugar selection. I get 0% sugar in my drinks now (especially because boba is always sweetened), so I am unable to get thai tea here. I always find that that my milk teas are overly sweet even at 0% sugar due to the sweetness added to boba at certain tea shops. The lack of sugar adjustment on the thai tea is just wild to me especially because you can adjust sugar on all other drinks here. I find myself coming here due to the convenient location, but otherwise, I haven't found anything that has kept me coming back. read more

I ordered a black sugar ASSAM yum! Got a super sugar fix here! They have lots of desserts but I had to resist the potential dizziness of overload! Boba next time for sure I saw plenty !! read more

Teaspoon on Almaden has quickly become a favorite stop! The Silky Mango with popping mango boba is tropical and fun, while the Caramel Cream with regular boba is a huge hit with my kids -- especially since it's caffeine-free. Love that the menu has a good mix of both caffeine-free and caffeinated drinks, and everything is customizable to taste. Service is always cool and friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. read more

Im so happy to have found teaspoon very close by to my area! I was craving for banana matcha and they actually carry it along with a long of classics signature and Vietnamese coffee as well! The cashier was very sweet and friendly along with the other employee who is making the drinks. Inside is very clean and well kept. Loving the interior and music choices they have. Will definitely come back here for my matcha fix! read more

I came down to try Teaspoon after they came to the school I work at. The business was clean and well laid out. The employee took our order and had our drinks out very quickly! We will be back to try the other flavors. read more

First of all walking in the ambiance is so cute. It was warm and cute music was playing. The workers here are so kind and helpful! I really appreciated it especially because I'm a bit picky about my tea. They had no problems with me asking questions, and even took the extra steps to offer me many alternatives. The boba is of course delicious as it always is at Teaspoon locations. Thank you!! read more

The thai tea and caramel cream were okay, it did not meet my expectations. I have been here before, and the crème brulée is my favorite. Great customer service. Kiosks are available. Clean establishment. Plenty of parking. read more

Great for a freshly brewed tea! They have teapresso machines and we opted for the Honey Oolong and Roasted Oolong. The Honey Oolong is one of their premade teas. It's still freshly brewed just earlier in the day. The Roasted Oolong is made to order and we had that as a milk tea. There was very little difference in these Oolongs, other than the consistency. The Honey Oolong was slightly richer and the flavor less subtle than the Roasted. The service was good - They let me try the Jasmine and oolong based. The Jasmine was too bitter and wasn't my favorite. Inside they have kiosks to order or you can order with an employee. read more

I absolutely love this place! The service is awesome and the drinks are so high quality. They offer so many options and customizable drinks as well. It's clean inside and smells very fresh and fragrant. The boba is the perfect texture, soft and chewy with a subtle flavor. The matcha and Thai drinks actually taste like matcha and Thai and in addition to that their brewed teas are very fresh. Overall a great place considering their prices are on par if not cheaper than other subpar boba spots read more

Good tea selections and plenty of non milk tea for refreshing smoothies. My favorites are the Black Sugar Assam Milk Tea, Cream Brûlée Coffee, and Taro Lover. Drink quality is fairly consistent, occasionally they miss special instruction like less ice or 50% sugar, but overall good. read more

It's a first time I'm actually disappointed with teaspoon. I'm calling to try to order for pick up but they saying that we doesn't to it through the phone t... like how, it's 2025?

The service was terrible, she doesn't know how to talk. read more

Teaspoon - Liquid Gold - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Always a solid place to stop by when I need a drink fix. I personally love their black tea and their coffee drinks. I used to go here a lot when they had a location in Bakersfield, so I am well acquainted with the menu. They do have some fairly unique items on the menu. Many are not bad choices at all and great starters. Service is fast and I never had a badly made drink here. I also like the decor but wished they had some seating. Other locations have them, but this doesn't. Which, I don't blame them since the parking lot is tight and can be very busy. Since they have closed down the one in Bakersfield, I have been missing their drinks! I'm glad I still have a place to go and get them when I can. read more

This place is awesome! Amazing flavors and combinations. Super consistent so you can expect great boba every time.

Teaspoon on Almaden is amazing!!! They catered boba to our wedding in September, and it was a highlight of the night for our guests!!! Their team is so friendly, professional, and organized! Their catering table and setup was fantastic, they offered all the different flavor and milk options that we wanted. I highly recommend this store! read more

I've had teaspoon a lot at different locations way back in the days and I never liked it, so I gave up on it. I drove by this location a few months ago and decided to give it a try again, and I've been coming back often. The tea is really good and refreshing here. The boba is always the right chewiness with a hint of sweetness. I've always had a good cup of tea. I have only ordered on their website and picked up, so not sure how service is like inside. In the summer, I tried the watermelon tea (I forgot the actual name), and was addicted. My go to is the grasshopper. It's simple but different than the other tea shops. I like the cucumer juice on top. It adds a different taste to it. read more

This Teaspoon location opens later than most of the other stores. Big plus! It was pretty crowded for a Thursday evening. There is plenty of parking available as it is in a big shopping plaza with Safeway. Closer to McDonald's. The service was quick and friendly. 2 kiosk plus a cashier to order from. Ladybug: A light yet rich splash of passionfruit juice infused with green tea. Refreshing taste, which transported me back to Hawaii. read more

It's a small store with no tables to sit in. There's like a little place where you can lean on but that's about it. There's two kiosks available for you to use. Silky Mango(4/5): I thought it was nice that they had milk alternatives. I can really taste the mango in the drink, but I thought it was a little too sweet for me. I don't remember if I'm able to adjust sweetness, but I would get it less sweet if I were to get it again. The boba in it was nice and chewy! Service(5/5): I ordered from the kiosk and the order went out fairly quick. It was only one person making the drinks and seeing how fast they were making it was pretty impressive! Overall, I had a good time and would come again! read more

Teaspoon - Silky Mango - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I'll take 138 teaspoons, please. Teaspoon is a Bay Area original bubble tea chain which I grew to love in San Jose. They've rapidly expanded since those days and have even made to other states, including the Las Vegas area where I mostly hang out these days. I'm pretty sure they utilize a tea espresso system to keep the tea quality high, and I can't recall their tea flavor ever failing me ta any location. I had recently received a free birthday drink in my rewards account (pro tip: give them your personal info) and I had an errand to run nearby, so I figured it was convenient enough to use the offer. I tried to place a mobile order but it apparently was too confusing for me to use. Fortunately, the employees were nice and got my order entered, reward redeemed, and drink prepared in rapid succession. I usually gravitate toward milk tea, and Black Sugar Assam ($5.75, ~23 fl oz) looked newer to me within that category. It comes with honey boba included, which I usually eschew for caloric savings but didn't mind trying. The boba is as good as anyone makes it, with balanced chewiness and softness. You can tell that it's sweeter than non-honey-marinated boba too. As for the drink, the assam black tea flavor and the black sugar flavors are both prominent, and the drink has a good creaminess that doesn't linger on the palate. I forgot to request lower sugar, but the sweetness level was actually not too high. This location is standing-room only. I guess I don't mind that since I'm usually grabbing something to-go anyway, but if you want to hang out with your friends or pretend to study for a test, you may want to try elsewhere. I would actually love for Teaspoon to become as popular and as commonplace as Starbucks. They're a consistently good bubble tea spot and surely have enough variety to satisfy most boba fans. read more

Always come to this spot for boba! Customer service was great, Serdz gave a lot of recommendations and I loved it! Drinks have strong tea flavor and the sweetness at 50% is just right. read more

When planning my daughter's 18th birthday party, I knew we had to throw in a special touch! We decided to plan for boba at the party, We reached out to a couple of places for quote inquiries and Eva at Teaspoon reached back right away with an email and photos of possible set ups ranging from full service to cup delivery. She also followed up with a phone call. We went back and forth with either calling or emails and we decided to go with premade cups and delivery to our party site. We made a last minute change in the amount we wanted to order and Eva accommodated it and revised our amount due three days before the event. The drinks came on time and she set them up at the tables where we asked her to. All our guests were so happy to have boba with their dinners that evening! Great job, Eva and Teaspoon! read more

Stopped by Teaspoon for a quick snack before dinner and was very impressed by the drinks!! I ordered the Lychee tea with lychee jelly and the flavor was amazing -- strong flavor without feeling artificial, and was really refreshing! My husband ordered the matcha royale which was also great, would recommend either drink if you're checking this place out! read more

This is my favorite boba place in the South San Jose area. They have a consistent menu of delicious flavors with high-quality ingredients. They also have a decent amount of non-caffeine options for kids. My go-tos are the Thai Tea or Matcha Strawberry with boba. Most recently I tried the Grasshopper with Aloe, which was very refreshing for a hot day. The only downside to this location is that the parking lot can get a little crowded and there isn't any place to sit inside. Great for grab 'n' go or DoorDash. read more

Teaspoon is my go to boba tea spot in the South Bay Area. No matter which location you go to the drinks and the quality of the boba are consistently good. I also appreciate that their sweetness levels are accurate! I always do 25% sweetness and it's perfect. At this location you can order on a tablet or at the cashier. They also sell a few pastries (haven't tried them yet). My all time favorite speciality drink of theirs is the grasshopper. I just wish I was able to ask for it less sweet. It's one of those drinks that can either be made regularly or "less sweet" which is still too much for me. But the flavors are so good!! A must try. This time around I ordered a lychee black tea with aloe vera. It was delicious and refreshing! read more

I ordered a taro lover Boba drink today without ice. The gal making the drink only gave a smudge of taro which was disappointing. This location definitely needs training on how to make the drink right or the quality has gone down the hill. The drink quality is not consistent. The $7.00 drink I ordered was most purple milky water and some bobas. I feel like I got scammed. I love teaspoon but definitely not this location. read more

Came here on a Sunday night looking for a non-caffeinated drink. I was also wanting something refreshing and they recommended to me the Silky Mango. It was soooo good, the mango puree taste was strong and the milk made the texture very smooth. One of the best mango drinks I've ever had. I also love all the naming conventions of their drinks, will definitely try out more when I come back! read more

This place is great for Bobba! Black Ballz, baby! You know you love 'em. I got some sort of Dirty beverage for the Dirty Boi. There was a coffee Dirty Beverage, and there was a Ube Dirty Beverage. Naturally I had to get the Dirty Ube Beverage, because I like it Dirty, baby! And purple stuff. I love Purple Stuff Especially when it's Dirty! Sunny D? Not uh, no way! Gimme that Purple Stuff! Grape Juice? Not uh! Gimme that Dirty Grape Drank! It's Dirty! My first impressions of the Dirty Ube Beverage were thoughts of my dirty childhood, when we used to ride our dirty bikes up to the reservoir and jump in the dirty water and get sucked down into the drain. A bunch of always get sucked in and never return. Now that's dirty! But whaddya supposed to do? Being a Dirty Valley Boi only leaves so much room for Dirty Activities! We're all getting sucked down life's dirty drainage pipe anyway, so might as well have some fun singing and dirty dancing in a dirty reservoir with your dirty boys. Ride on sweet chariot. Fly away on your diamond wings! Your Dirty Diamond Dingo Wings! You're such a Dirty Boi, you dirty boi. ^______^ read more

Yum! A solid boba place (especially in the South Bay), drinks are always consistent and good! Lots of options but I always go with the house milk tea 50 sweet/ 50 ice. Always comes out super quickly, and customer service is always friendly and fast. Their matcha drinks, jasmine tea and taro are also really good drinks. The boba is always soft and chewy and perfect! Kind of a small parking lot but I always find a spot and am in and out quickly. Highly recommend! read more

There are quite a few choices in the Bay Area when it comes to milk tea but when it comes to creativity and variety of drink selection, Teaspoon is one of the very best! This location has delivered both times I've visited. Friendly staff, quick and efficient service and tasty drinks! My personal favorite is the Matcha Royale w/ strawberry. I've had many matcha drinks at other places and it's one of those drinks that are a tad bit harder to get down. The matcha tasted great and love how they use organic milk and cane sugar. The addition of the strawberry pure added another texture and sweetness element in which they all came together well! This location is well maintained and clean! I look forward to trying some of their other drink creations. I definitely recommend coming here and trying it out! read more

We LOVE Teaspoon! This location is the closest to us and is worth the 15 minute drive, despite the semi- sketchy parking lot. The employees are super sweet and oh so patient as I stare at the menu and try to make a decision. The inside of this store is super cute with modern decor and is currently decorated for the holidays. They have a variety of speciality drinks but you can also make your own. Our favs are the Guava sunset, Thai tea, and Lychee on Lychee. They also have a few slushie like drinks for your friend that "doesn't like tea" and offer a great seasonal menu. read more

Came here years ago and I remember the experience was pretty good. Just got to classical milk tea.

This place was poppin', boba poppin' lol on a Hot Sat eve! I have to say all their drinks look so yummy, it's hard to choose. They are a little pricier than some of the other boba places I go to tho. But I chose the taro lover, I love anything with taro or ube. Per menu, taro milk with slow cooked chunks of taro. The chunks are more of a paste on the inside of the cup. Wish there was more taro paste so that every sip had a richer taro flavor. Overall good , needed this sweet dessert drink after a savory dinner. Pls add more chunks of taro! read more
