Usually I'm not a big fan of teaspoon specifically, but the service here was really good! Also they had more flavors than I expected. I guess I haven't been to one in a while. I ordered my drink a little too sweet (75%), and they remade it for me less sweet. If I came back here again I'd go for 50%. If you have similar taste to mine or like less sweet in general, that's what I'd recommend for this location. I think 25% is a bit too watered down for me, but my boyfriend liked it more. I really like the osmanthus soft jelly topping. They were really nice about it too. Usually I would never ask but I felt at ease enough to do so. The inside is really clean and I like that there is PLENTY of seating! Thanks so much for serving us! read more

I'm normally not a boba girl at all, but Teaspoon completely changed my mind. My friend is the real boba expert and helped guide me a little, but honestly the staff here were amazing and made the experience so easy. They let us sample a peach drink first and it was ridiculously good. I ended up getting a creamy peach oolong drink with honey boba because I didn't want something overly sugary or too strong on the tea side, and they customized it perfectly. We even added extra peach flavor and it came out so smooth and refreshing. My friend got the Taro Lover and was obsessed with it. Also, the tiny donuts and macarons were such a cute touch. The whole plaza has this trendy late-night food scene vibe, so stopping here after sushi honestly felt like the perfect combo. Super sweet staff, clean space, great drinks, and definitely somewhere I'd come back to. read more

After making some purchases at Clover bakery, I spotted Teaspoon tea shop. I was craving a nice cold refreshing tea. I stopped in to make a purchase to drink on my way home. When I walked in, the young man behind the counter welcomed me. I decided to try the guava sunset fruit tea. I've not had this one before and it sounded delicious. I usually get the peach tea from Teaspoon. It was nice and clean inside with seating options. I was the only customer at that moment. I placed my order at the kiosk and took a few pictures of the inside, while I was waiting. My drink was made so fast. I couldn't believe it. I gave it a try and boy did I make the right choice. It was so delicious and refreshing. It was made perfectly with 25% sweetness. I loved it. I found my new favorite drink. I'm so glad I decided to try something new. read more

First time at teaspoon. The space is small but clean, parking was busy but found a spot in no time, service was super quick! I got the caramel swirl - honestly did not like it at all. It just tasted sweet. That's it. The mango boba was better. Although it did not look like mango, there definitely was mango flavor. read more

Teaspoon Saratoga - Caramel swirl and mango - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

I'm not usually a big boba tea drinker, but lately I've been trying more--and Teaspoon in Saratoga completely won me over. Their Strawberry Matcha was delicious--perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and super refreshing. I paired it with a few of their macaroons, and wow... amazing combo. The shop is cute, the staff is friendly, and everything tasted fresh. If you're looking for a treat or want to try something new, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'll be back for sure!. The ambience is cute and cozy. read more

Normally go to Almaden Expressway. Moved closer to this one. Have had problems with every order. They charge more for the same exact drink that I ordered every day for over a year at the Almaden location. Only once when I ask them to make the drink the way I like it did they honor it. I don't know if it's this location or if each location does things differently, but there are major inconsistencies. read more

Teaspoon Saratoga located in the Strawberry Park Plaza. The lot can get hectic during peak times. The interior has limited seating and the decor is simple. Ordering done via kiosk. They offer other baked goods too. Lychee on Lychee: Lychee black tea topped w/ lychee jelly (4/5). read more

I tried a new seasonal drink: the matcha banana royale and brown sugar boba. Anything banana is the new rage so I was excited to see how this compared to other places. They used fresh banana , banana cream, and matcha (I wished it had a deeper and stronger flavor here). Boba texture was soft and chewy and not hard. I do like that they have an option for no ice here which most boba places don't do. This is located in a small parking lot that could get quite congested. Their drinks are on the more sweeter side so I always go 50% or less. read more

This exact place is where it all started, the day that I became a Teaspoon addict. My boyfriend got me the house milk tea and I can't exaggerate how much I love it. The workers are always nice and polite and the area is always kept clean whenever I come in. read more

Awesome Boba Spot in Mitsuwa Marketplace! I had such a great experience at this boba place, while I missed trying the seasonal sesame drink this time, I'll definitely be visiting another location to give it a shot. As always, I had to start with an ube drink--my favorite--and their Dirty Ube did not disappoint! It was delicious, though I'd personally prefer it with even less sweetness. I paired it with taro chunks/pudding on the side, which was a fantastic addition. I also appreciated their kindness when I asked for the topping on the side, they were so accommodating about it! The atmosphere was great, with plenty of seating available and friendly, smiling staff. The space was well-lit in the evening, and the festive holiday decor added a cheerful touch to the vibe. There's a ton of parking, though it was pretty full on a Sunday evening. Service was impressively quick, and the tables were clean. Plus, the marketplace itself has some cute stores worth checking out. Can't wait to try the sesame seasonal drink next time--will report back on how it is! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Unfortunately, the drinks were not very good. The flavor was disappointing and overall they tasted quite bad. The worker was nice :)

Stopped by teaspoon for a late night drink and it's convenient because it closes at 11 pm. It was reasonable priced and the service was fast. The ambiance was good and there were tables to sit inside. The drinks were good. The black sugar assam tasted a little sour it maybe because we came around closing time. The silky mango was delicious. read more

i come to this teaspoon often! it's a great place to work/study and have a drink. the location is in a good spot, lots of little eats near by but parking in this plaza is actual hell lol def prefer coming on weekdays so there isn't so much parking traffic from mitsuwa. their drinks are consistent with every other teaspoon -- my favs are the liquid gold and vietnamese coffee, and the grasshopper in the summer (super refreshing!). the interior is fine, drinks always come out in a timely manner and the baristas are kind and friendly! read more

I was at the Saratoga location this afternoon. I ordered my drinks on the kiosk (which takes much too long, it would be better to talk to an employee to keep the line moving but that's not why I'm here). When attempting to order my drink, one of the ingredients was out but it wasn't clear so I had to select "no honey boba" and then went up to the counter to ask. While I was asking my question, the employee literally turned away from me to help another customer. I was appalled. She made eye contact and everything and made no attempt to tell me "just a second" which would have been fine. She literally turned away as though I were an annoying fly. When she came back a few seconds later I just stared for a few seconds because I've never experienced such rudeness. I asked about the missing honey boba and she told me they were out so I asked for a different boba to replace. She said yes but as I'm drinking my drink, I cannot tell that it's there. So I'm pretty sure she dumped it out after putting it in. This is unacceptable customer service and I will never visit this location again. Maybe not to any location either. At least the drinks were made quickly and my son's drink had no issues. My favorite boba place is across town and I'll plan to continue going there instead of Teaspoon. I also don't love my drink and realized after the fact that it has no actual tea in it. That's my bad but it just doesn't add to the experience. read more

The honey boba had no flavor. Had a good chewiness though. Lychee tea was average. Will not order again

I tried the Starlight Sesame, a roasted Hojicha latte with Crème Brulée foam and black sesame dust, and was disappointed. The sesame flavor was barely noticeable. I'll stick to their milk tea next time. read more

There are a variety of drinks here that have been good so far! The parking can be a bit tricky if it's a busy weekend or time. The drinks came out fast and there were a few tables inside to sit. I got the Matcha Royale and Strawberry Colada. The matcha was delicious and the strawberry colada was sweet and citrusy! read more

Teaspoon Saratoga - Matcha Royale & Strawberry Colada - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Ah, every block you go you can find a Teaspoon. I guess it's like a boba version of Starbucks. While I was waiting for my baked goods at Clover Bakery a few shops down I decided to get boba. It was still a few minutes before opening and the worker was finishing up setting up and unlocked the door with a warm welcome. I placed my order at the kiosk at the entrance and he quickly made my drinks. Not all Teaspoons have this kiosk ordering system so it was nice to be able to order and pay at the kiosk. He was nice to offer to bag my drinks too since he saw I was struggling while trying to hold them. There were about 5 small tables inside if you were to sit and hang out. For myself I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Royale. Bottom layer is strawberry purée followed by milk and then matcha latte. The caffeine level isn't high on this drink and the strawberry contrast to green tea makes this drink delicious! read more

I was visiting the area and I was craving some milk tea. I have been to teaspoon before, so I was excited to try it again. I ordered via the app, and waited in store about 10 minutes before my promised time. What I noticed was that a lot of people who had walk in orders got their drink before me. Even after my promised time was up, a walk I placed an order and got their drink before me as well, which prompted me to ask where is the status. The workers apologized for the delay, but it still irks me that they took care of me after others who placed their orders after me. Now onto the drink itself. The Earl Grey MT was delicious and had the flavor I expected. I added grass jelly for some texture and it was delicious. Other than that, nothing special. Overall, it was expected. May come again, but maybe not come to this location if I don't get my drink in a proper amount of time (My drink was said to be ready after 30 minutes, I waited 45 minutes) read more

For a drink called creamy jasmine I was expecting more cream and not for it to be lactose free , however - I liked the drink it just tasted like jasmine green milk tea straight up ( which no complaints because that's my go to ) .

Teaspoon...probably one of my favorite boba places right now. I can't really put a pin on it but of the Teaspoons I've went to in the Bay Area so far (Milpitas & Campbell), my recent visit to this location just hit differently. My bf and I had spicy chicken sandwiches with us and wanted to sit down somewhere to eat and also something to drink so we went here. It's nice that they had a few tables and places to sit. I got my usual Silky Mango - an oh-so creamy and sweet cup of mango goodness. The boba was pretty warm and softer this time around too. My bf tried the Black Sugar Assam. He was a bit worried that the drink was going to be too sweet (you can't adjust sweetness level on certain drinks), but it wasn't. I tried a few sips, and it was pretty good. Not my typical cup of tea, but it was different and new for me. I wouldn't mind getting it for myself in the future. My bf said the drink was ok but appreciated the higher quality tea. Perhaps the spiciness of my chicken sandwich made me feel like the drink tasted extra better than usual haha, but I love Teaspoon either way. If you're in the area looking for some boba, look no further. read more

Bad customer service, served orders out that came in behind me, and I only ordered one drink

If I'm ever in the plaza, my go to place for boba is this place. I like that there is seating inside and a kiosk to order if there is ever a line. Sometimes the tables here can be dirty that's the only thing. Just like the other locations, they have the same drinks such as a grasshopper, flamingo, classic thai tea, etc. Whenever I order my paradise lime, they always make it perfect. The employees who work here are always nice and if you need to fix something with your drink, they don't mind. read more

Nice offerings of different drinks. Love that their boba is fresh and chewy. The boba was still hot when I received my drink. Parking can be difficult but boba is always good and consistent. read more

The place is always busy, so hit or miss on the service. Do come at least 15-30 minutes before closing, if you want fresh brewed tea. Right at 11 PM, everything is closed down. People tend to more sit down, hang out at this location or in the courtyard, vs grab and go. They guide everyone to the self service kiosk to order tho. Yelp should have a "kitchen closed" time for hours. Just a side note. read more

This mall has a lot of great Asian dining options. PIcked up some boba and mochi donuts from this Teaspoon location. Would have been a higher rating if they had not missed our boba order which resulted in a 20-minute wait. Bah! Perhaps it was tainted by the wait but I did not like the mochi donut it seemed a little stale. Plus they only had strawberry and had run out of the other flavors. read more

Consistently hits the spot. Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 5/5** Friendly and quick service! Also bonus points for being so nice + having consistent drinks across all Teaspoon locations I've been to. **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** Bright and clean with free wifi, indoor seating, and a few snack options (macarons, Verb energy bars). **Price & portion, 5/5** Easily comes out to $6+ for a drink with toppings, but that's on par with the area. **Presentation of the food, 5/5** Drinks look EXACTLY like the pictures, down to layers and everything. **Taste of the food, 5/5** Japanese rice milk tea, 50% sweet and 50% ice, with boba. Perfect amount of sweetness and the toastiness of the rice comes through. The boba is always soft here with great honey flavor! Seriously so consistent every time. **Other notes** Parking can be tough in this plaza and indoor seating is limited. They sell reusable boba tumblers, glass bottles, and straws here! read more

You order on a kiosk when you walk in. There are a few tables to sit down to enjoy your drink. We ordered the Guava Sunset and House milk tea. I accidentally forgot to add the boba to the house milk tea but it was still good without it. There are some light sweets by the counter like macarons. read more

How have I not written a review for this Teaspoon? I've been coming to this exact location for years. Staff is friendly and quick. The quality of tea is always perfect! Never too strong or too light. You MUST try their handmade toppings! The egg pudding especially is my favorite. Very custard-like and not too sweet! Their boba is always chewy and sweet. Never too firm or overcooked. Their prices have gradually increased a lot over time though. My go-to drinks are: + Liquid Gold + Silky Mango + Creamy Jasmine + Grasshopper (but it has a strong cucumber taste, so before weary if you don't want that) read more

Terrible for group orders, and we're avoiding Teaspoon moving forward. We ordered over 30 drinks this afternoon, and four were completely missing. Of the drinks delivered, they were a mess. Most did not have any indication of what drink it was or the person who ordered, making distribution a complete mess. Not only did the drinks not look like the picture, but how can you tell sweetness level just by looking at a drink?! There was also feedback that the drinks did not taste as good as other places we order from regularly. I understand that you may not be staffed up to handle an order this large. If that's the case, don't accept orders of this size. You just end up getting a bad reputation. None of us ever plan on ordering from or coming here. There are just so many other great options for boba. read more

Great drinks, friendly workers. There's a bench and maybe about 4-5 tables. It's a nice small lil shop to hang with friends but I don't recommend working here. Their music is waaayyy too loud, much less for zoom calls, there's no Wi-Fi, and it gets really loud with people chatting so closely and with the blender going off all the time. Located in a strip mall, there's a huge parking lot that they share with 2 other drink shops nearby. read more

I got the silky mango that has honey boba included, and substituted it with oat milk and asked for less ice. I didn't want to take any risks but I'm sure this drink would've tasted better with regular milk and as well as regular ice. My drink wasn't that cold and tasted watery near the end. The flavor itself wasn't bad at least but it wasn't amazing either. There's probably better drinks at Teaspoon, but just don't do what I did. I did get my drink quick at least, and you can also order through a self-serve kiosk. I think they switched over to paper straws as well, so make sure to apply force when you're putting it in the drink lol I had to get a second straw because mine ended up bending. The interior is very nice and cozy though and the store is located a small corner of the plaza nearby Clover and Mitsuwa. read more

I've had Teaspoon before at a different location and it was good, so it was nice to try other flavors and enjoy it here too. The silky mango is yummy and creamy. Strawberry matcha was pretty standard compared to others I've had. The lychee on lychee was a very refreshing fruit tea option, and I recommend getting it at 50% sugar because the lychee jelly is pretty sweet and will balance out the tea at that percentage. read more

The staff was alright overall and I will say they did get my drink out quickly but after that I have nothing else positive to say.
