This is a tiny boba spot in Sequoia Station next to where Site for Sore Eyes used to be. You order with a cashier who is behind a plastic wall. There is no seating and only about two or three customers can fit inside, but there is plenty of parking. The milk tea is ok, and pretty artificially flavored. I ordered the honeydew milk tea with boba and probably won't come back, but it's good to know this place is here.

Great drinks, great service, hole in the wall with all your boba needs. There's more I want to try but I keep ordering the same thing since it's so good (taro + classic milk teas)

Watermelon freeze
Tiffany R.

Been coming here for awhile now. Service is quick plus they have a loyalty card so don't forget to ask for one! The beverages I've had and recommend are watermelon freeze with lychee topping and peach mango black tea with boba!

Not bad! Peach mango black tea 8/10 - I will definitely opt for 75% sugar in the future - ok tea flavor and they definitely go heavy on the peach and mango syrup - great value! Jasmine milk tea 8/10 - very milky and creamy not so much tea but I don't mind it - it's very desserty and not as refreshing but I don't mind it - childhood milky flavor Overall, it's a hole in the wall with no seating. 2 baristas are there so if there's a line drinks will definitely take a while. Nothing much to say about the service but the drinks came out pretty decently fast. I would come back!

2.5 stars. Craving boba all week, Mom and I made a quick stop at Teatime on the afternoon of Saturday, August 26, 2023. Located in Redwood City's Sequoia Station, there is plenty of parking for patrons in the lot. As we walked up to the tea spot, I thought that there was a long line out their door. Upon arrival, though, we realized that the people loitering around the shop were the customers awaiting their drink orders. The venue is TINY. Maximum capacity for the room wherein you place your order can't be more than half a dozen persons (this explains why everyone was standing around outside). This place is solely for to-go orders as there is no seating available for eating and drinking. Printed 8" x 11" sheets of paper are taped to the wall to serve as the menu and jars along the clear window showcase most of the drink toppings (grass jelly was not shown anywhere). Mom ordered a Taro Milk Tea with boba which, to our surprise, was made from a powder and was completely dairy free. I ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea topped with boba and grass jelly. When I asked if they had oat milk, the dairy free milk was recommended for a better, more full-bodied drink, so I happily went with the suggestion. Our drinks were made very quickly. At first sip, we both noticed that the beverages were on the sweet side...which is when I realized that we weren't asked about preferred sweetness nor ice levels. After a few sips, I got used to the sweetness level, but did wish for a stronger Jasmine floral taste. The boba were perfectly chewy, though, so my craving was satisfied. Will we return? Sure, if we are already at the Sequoia Station and craving boba again. I wouldn't drive out specifically to go here, though.

Corner location next to where Max's used to be.

A pretty good place to get a refreshing Watermelon Fruit Freeze! I got mine with boba AND rainbow jelly. I always order something similar at every boba-type place so that I can compare them. Then I venture out to the bubble tea varieties, etc. This is a small walk-up window-type place, but I will come back again. Tea Time is nestled in the corner of the Sequoia Station Shopping Center. It is kind of weird that it does not come up on Yelp as the first choice even when I am literally in front of it. I always seem to get the Palo Alto location. The drinks can at times take longer than expected for a drink so it does miss a star for that. Employees don't seem very happy to be there nor do they display any smiling for the customers.

Stopped by Teatime the other day while picking something up at the nearby Safeway located in the same plaza. Found this place on Yelp, and discovered that it's rather hidden all the way at the corner of the shopping complex, on the side opposite of Safeway. The store itself is very small, so you basically wait in line outside while 1 person goes in, orders, and steps back out to wait for their order. The staff was very friendly, and I opted for my usual Passion Fruit w/ Green Tea and boba. The drink itself definitely did not disappoint, and was very refreshing and full of flavor. The boba balls themselves were nice and chewy, and not all clumped together like at some other places. Although I don't live near RWC, if I'm ever back in the area, I will definitely make sure to make a stop at Teatime!

Black milk tea with boba
YJ L.

Ordered a classic black milk tea with boba, no adjustments. Super sweet, but that's how I like my boba! It's a super tiny storefront (can fit one party at a time at most), and their menu is smaller than most other shops I've been to. I like to get drinks that are "special" to that particular store, but Teatime didn't seem to have any drinks like that. Definitely worth coming back if I'm in the area, but not a place I'd go out of my way to get boba from. Maybe if they had a unique pitch or drink. As a local stop, it's a 5/5; for non-locals, I'm sure the boba shops in your area are just as good.

Coral T.

It's a tasty boba spot with unique flavors. Recently they've been making their drinks on the sweater side even when ask with 0% sugar. Their drink with fresh fruits are excellent. Service is pretty fast when ordering and receiving a drink. Excited to try other flavors next time. Note it's at Sequoia Station and it is a to-go only spot, so no place to sit.

Guava green tea
Nikki G.

Got the guava green tea here. Good fruit flavor but the tea could have been a little more strong. The tiramisu tea is also good. Definitely more dessert than tea.

Horchata Snow with boba and aloe 25% sweetness Strawberry Freeze with boba 25% sweetness
Elle G.

My favorite boba spot !! They have everything here from classic milk teas to, green teas, fruit teas, fruit freezes and unique drinks. My all time favorite is the horchata snow but I don't like anything too sweet so I get 25% sweetness with aloe and boba they have like 12 different options of jelly's. Service is great but this place tends to get busy and typically only two staff are working at once so if you see line expect to wait a few minutes. Also it's a very small place there's no seating it's just a walk through to go atmosphere. I went today and ordered the horchata snow and the strawberry freeze both equally great and I had my drinks within 5 min of ordering. Be patient when they are busy its worth it if you want to enjoy some delicious boba tea !

Tiramisu milk tea
Sophia B.

Good boba tea in a conveniently tempting location. I usually get a medium tiramisu milk tea with boba ($6.95). It's creamy and a nice twist on classic milk tea. The boba is consistent and pleasant to chew.

This smoothie doesn't taste like avocado or mango. It's gross.

I love me some good coffee!! Found this place randomly while visiting and glad I stumbled upon it…read more The line was a little long but it moves pretty quick. There's a few tables and chairs to enjoy your drink and/or pastry and it's shaded. The patio is pet friendly. We ordered the iced filter coffee and it was nice, strong and smooth. We also got their seasonal flavor orange cream latte and it was so delicious. The orange was light in flavor but enough to taste the orange notes and the consistency with the whole milk was decadent. Not too sweet. Definitely will come back when in the area again.

This location is across the street from Menlo Caltrain so expect a few interruptions if you're…read morelooking for silence. I went there on a Saturday morning, 815 and the place was hopping. Certainly a neighborhood feel with dogs, strollers, and the typical guys on laptops. There was only one seat available and it was positioned in the back row facing the crowd. FWIW: I'm not a coffee sage who demand specific regions, roast or rules. Flight: cold brew, cortado, shot and latte. No sugar. Two types of beans with cards describing where they come from and what flavors to expect. Experience was pleasant, even though the place was crowded. The coffees themselves were just ok. I was told what order to drink them in and I finished (90%), all but the iced version - something about the light roast with sour notes really put me off. Reasons to return: People watching- excellent. So many strollers with human and canines in them. Stayed for 1.5 hrs Coffee- good. Didn't love everything they served but they were purposeful in teaching about beans and prep. Service- fine. Person taking the order was lovely, person serving the order was clinical. No smiles on this guy.

I wasn't sure when I'd get a chance to come back since I don't live nearby, so when I joined a book club meetup and found out it was being held here, I was so excited! I love how many different seating options they have. There are indoor and outdoor tables, a grassy area, and even swings, they really have something for everyone :) They also offer yoga classes in the outdoor area, and it looks like they regularly have different activities and events going on based on the posters they have up. As for the coffee, there's a cute little walk-up counter where you place your order, and they call your name when it's ready. The staff was really friendly, and I thought it was a great idea to have all the event and activity information displayed right by the ordering area. My latte was excellent, and I love that they offer ceramic cups if you're staying to enjoy your coffee there. I honestly loved the vibe of this place. It has such a welcoming, wholesome, community feel, and I can't wait to come back again :)

Unfortunately, not a place I'd return to or recommend.

I haven't tried it yet, but I love that they offer a simple dine-in cafe menu with breakfast and lunch items that look fantastic. Country Loaf ($13.00): Literally my favorite bread around. It is so unbelievably good, soft, and fresh with the perfect sourdough texture. They also offer specialty versions of this (like olives/cheese, or cranberry/nut) Lemon Poppyseed Tea Cake ($6.00): I absolutely loved this! Perfectly moist, bright, and delicious. Would go great with coffee. Pastries & Croissants ($6.00 - $8.00): Every single pastry is beautifully crafted, super fresh, and incredibly flaky. They also feature fun, unique specialty creations like their mango croissants!

Oooh - my new favorite brunch lunch spot in downtown Redwood City!!…read more I love a place that has both good coffee and tons of food options. So many delicious fresh food options. We loved that each dish came with the freshest bread, you can see them making fresh bread in the open kitchen. The breakfast sandwich was perfect. You can get it with either bacon or avocado. The turkey sandwich was also excellent - that sun dried tomato jam that it came with was to die for, I wish I could bring a jar home to put on bread! I enjoyed migraine salad that came with kale, farro, squash, feta. Again loved the crisp fresh bread it had on the side too ! Granola bowl was great - with fruit and homemade Granola, personally I like that it wasn't too sweet like there wasn't a honey or sweetener drizzle. Coffee and espresso drinks were very good , will definitely be back to try more dishes ! There was a constant line to order, but from ordering to getting food wasn't too bad at around 20 minutes . Table seating indoor is limited with the amount of customers they have, but there is also some indoor bar top seating along the kitchen and more outdoor tables.
