I enjoy Tea Top's Fremont location and tried the Newark one a few times. I usually get my drinks less ice, less sweet, but the tea flavor is by no means watered down. The boba has the perfect texture and is lightly sweet. Service was fast, decent amount of seating, and employees were very kind in accommodating a last minute drink swap. Solid go to!
The trifecta milk drink has red bean, boba, and grass jelly. You cannot adjust the sweetness but honestly it wasn't that sweet. They have ac which felt so nice on a hot day! I saw a guy doing work there on his laptop so you can certainly do that. The staff were nice. I would love to come back and try their other drinks!
I rarely go to Tea Top because I never remember that they exist but every time I get a drink from here, I always wonder why because the drinks are solid. The workers (I didn't catch their names but it was a young woman and man) were so incredibly sweet with customizations and explaining different drinks since they have an extensive menu. Their drinks run a bit sweet even though I usually get 100% sweet at all the other boba shops so if you're similar, I recommend at least reducing to 80%. They're currently running a BOGO 50% M-W for the first 50 customers. I'm not sure how long it'll last, but it's definitely a great deal and I'll try to visit as often as I can. There are a few more boba shops opening on this strip, but Tea Top is a great location that you should try if you haven't.
Got the Earl Grey Milk Tea w/ 3Q, but removed the grass jelly. Earl Grey is a rare find at milk tea shops so had to try. The flavor is very light, almost a little more watered down. Still enjoyable and the standard size is pretty large. Nothing stood out with the boba and lychee jelly, but I did like the combination with the tea. Price is reasonable compared to most places these days. Vibes felt very nostalgic and simple. They have a student discount for 10% off and a punch card system as well which is nice. A bit far from my location so may not go back but I did enjoy and did think it was worth for a standard simple milk tea.
This location is the closest to me and always have deals (B2G1, BOGO50%) the drinks always come in a large and they have a great variety of teas, milkteas, milkshakes etc. And their boba is always fresh, no complaints! Service is good too.
Final Thoughts: 2.00/5.00 After dinner, my friend and I went to get boba at the shop a few doors down. Perhaps we should have chosen somewhere else. My friend said that his coworkers will go here sometimes and they seem to like it. To each their own. I have personally had better, but I'll try anything once. Overall, will be a 2 star for me today. Drinks: Matcha Latte: 1.5/5 Very interesting how this place has fairly high marks and reviews. Maybe because their other drinks are better? I chose this drink today because I've very much gotten into matcha. This drink was not for me though. First look gave me that sense too. Lovely layering, but it was when it was mixed did I really see it. My one note is the amount of milk that is added to this drink. When it comes to matcha drinks, I find that less is more with the base. This drink just had so much milk and ice at the bottom and it completely dilutes the matcha. Had this matcha been in a little less milk, it may have been better. This also dulls out the color of it and makes the drink itself unappealing when it's mixed. This drink is super grainy at the bottom and I tried to mix it more, but that really didn't help. Sweetness was alright. Again, flavor of it was just the milk, so I can't say too much of the matcha since it drowned out. Grapefruit Green Tea with Crushed Ice: 3.0/5 This was my friend's drink and I tried it for my review purposes. This was the better option of the two. The grapefruit and tea drink itself was very refreshing. Sweetness was good. Something about the crushed ice made it better. I honestly don't think this drink would be the same with the regular cubed large ice. The crushed ice was also mixed in with the grapefruit pulp at the top too. I like that addition of the grapefruit because of it's natural flavor and that texture from it. Grapefruit can be slightly bitter, but I actually like it that subtle bitterness with the sweetness and tartness in it. The green tea is a good option to have with think drink because it's very light and doesn't overpower the remainder of the drink. Sweetness was good for me. Definitely more of a passing drink than the drink option that I chose today. Menu: Good enough variety Again, looks to be your standard boba shop menu. There are a fair amount of items on their menu for you to choose from though. Perhaps their fruit teas would have been the better option for me here. I thought my friend's drink was really refreshing and appropriate for the weather at the time. --------- Quality: So-so The matcha really doesn't look like my ceremonial grade matcha powder. Slightly oxidized and dulled out green color. This might be because it looked completely diluted, but maybe not. What gets me was how grainy it was too. Now, looking at my friend's drink, I liked the grapefruit pulp and the use of the natural fruit inside the drink. So, will depend on what you get and your preferences. Price: Average Truly your average Bay Area prices for these drinks and what they are. The price will range from $5 to $8, so really within that standard boba drink price here. Service: Friendly They greeted us when we walked into the shop and they were also really quick to make the drink. I noticed the person making the drink come to the front too to see what we would order and he started making it right after we paid for the drinks. Loving the quick service. There wasn't many groups ahead of us, so he was able to do this. I'm sure they try their best to keep up and make it quickly to order though, which I appreciate. Ambiance: Standard boba shop The interior is giving your very standard boba shop and smell. There are a few tables on the side and the counter on the other side. I think this would be a nice studying stop or charting spot because it seems very peaceful. Location/Parking: Long Plaza; Optimal Parking Spaces This area is on Cedar Blvd. The plaza itself is quite long and made up of sections of buildings. All of it seems to be connected though, so there are parking spaces. Doesn't seem like it was super super saturated of an area during the time, so my friend and I were able to park close by. I really don't see parking being too much of an issue though.
TeaTop is a nice boba shop in a plaza with many other Asian restaurants, making it the perfect snack or dessert shop after a meal. I couldn't resist trying a drink and picked up the Panda Milk Tea, since it was on a 15% discount. The boba was fresh and just the right texture, not too chewy and not too hard, but at 30% sugar was a still too much for me. Upon leaving, I noticed that the staff member never applied the 15% discount promotion that they had going on. Rather than calmly correcting the error, he made the most disgruntled face and opened the cash register, flinging a couple coins at me - nowhere near 15%. Although I enjoyed the boba and would have liked trying the next drink at 0%, I'm turned away by the rude interaction with the staff member. +1 for the boba, though, because that was genuinely good otherwise.
My go-to drink is #19 Signature Alpine Green Milk Tea because I really like the tea flavor. It seems unique because I haven't seen this tea name in other stores before. I like how the cashier always offers a stamp card without me asking. The stamp card is only for this Newark store, and it is buy 10, get one free. Based on going here more than four times in the evening, there is lots of empty seating inside, and it was easy to find free parking in the lot. Definitely coming back here again to try other flavors like Sun Moon Lake Milk Tea and Winter Melon Alpine Green Tea.
Tea? Yes! Boba? Yes! Decaf drinks? Yes! Wifi? Yes! If you haven't been, welcome the new tea shop in town! Coming in with fresh made tea from leaves procured from Taiwan, TeaTop is making an impression. The tea is flavorful and the toppings are always fresh. They have a variety of toppings and are available to sample if they're new to you. The boba is chewy and made fresh. If caffeine is not your cup of tea, then you'll be happy to hear that they have a variety of non-caffeinated drinks including slushies and juices. Also fear not lactose-intolerant friends! All their milk items are lactose free! Now if you're adventurous, you'll be surprised to hear that they host a number of specials each month at a discount. Speaking of discounts, they have some other deals including buy two get one free Wednesdays and Fridays and bring your own (BYO) cup discount. The discounts come in handy given that the drinks here are slightly higher priced than other places, however the size of the standard drinks and the quality makes it fair. It's extremely comfortable to hang out here as they have plenty of clean seats and booths, free wifi, air conditioning, a working bathroom, easy parking, quick access to the highway and personable staff. Located just across the street from New Park Mall and Newark Memorial High School, you have no reason not to come give TeaTop a shot! Overall, I enjoy their tea drinks a lot and the deals are great incentives to bring a friend with you in your milk tea exploration. If they were open earlier, they may even rival the Starbucks across the street in the morning!
OMG, first time here. Ordered #8 without Peal milk tea with red bean. Excellent. Perfect in sweetness. Parking a little cramped and its right across from Starbucks. Also #6, earl grey milk tea for my partner. Will come back if in the area.
With signage up about their origins from a premium tea brewing business, I expected my drink to have high quality tea taste to compliment fresh fruit flavors. This was sadly not the case. I ordered the Passion Green Tea Medley, which I had high hopes for as it is listed as one of TeaTop's top 10 recommendations. The drink comes with lychee jelly and boba, which was very competitively priced for the size of the drink at just $5.95. Despite the aforementioned items, I found the drink to be too artificially sweet even at 30%. And the passion fruit taste to be artificial, rather than deriving from fresh passion juice. Overall, I found the drink just be to okay. There are definitely better options in the highly saturated boba market throughout the Newark/Fremont area. The shop itself is located at the tail end of the strip mall, on the quieter side.

3.75! I was debating between a 3 or 4, but I think that: +1 Great service! Super friendly people, +1 Boba was good! On point, +1 Tasted closer to Taiwan style boba drinks than other places I have tried. Location is in the big plaza with a bunch of other competing vendors/restaurants. Came here on a rainy Sunday, and the place was fairly empty. We were all overwhelmed by the choices of the drinks! Allen and I ordered #6 Earl Grey Milk Tea wth 3Q (toppings: boba, coconut jelly, grass jelly) // No ice, 30% sugar. +1 Boba was on point! +1 Could be heavier on the tea side, but overall smooth to drink down and I didn't have a funky aftertaste. Our group ordered a variety, and we were all in awe about the amount of toppings they give you- the boba is literally half the cup! Stamp cards: given to you at the cashier's! The first stamp is pre-stamped already, assuming you purchased something in order to redeem a stamp card (you'll see what I mean if you get one). Would I come here again? I wouldn't mind! 3Q is always a safe drink, so next time I want to try something more adventurous. read more
TeaTop is a great place that lets you customize how you want everything! Being able to choose sugar levels & ice levels is a big plus, & the biggest takeaway was how spot on each individual ingredient was! My choice was the Pearl Milk Tea substituting Red Bean for Grass Jelly. The boba was had the best chewy texture, & the grass jelly was a great addition to the drink as well! The tea flavor profile is pretty great as well, & I really enjoyed my drink! Overall, its a solid place to come to especially among all the Boba places in the plaza, parkings never an issue, & a great way to end a Friday night! read more

Solid boba place! Me and my friend came on a Saturday night at around 10 and they were still open. Definitely recommend! 1. Jasmine Green Tea with Boba - Usually at other places, the tea is pretty fake and there's a definite powder-y taste to it. This tea was actually really good! There is an evident green tea flavor and I love how Q their pearls are. 2. Red Bean Matcha Latte - One of the more aesthetic drinks I've had. I love the matcha flavor and how rich and creamy the drink is. My one complaint is that there is too little red bean :(. read more

My nieces were begging for some boba, so I had them search online to find a location near New Park Mall. TeaTop had good average ratings, so we drove over. It's a cute little place. Both girls ordered #24 iced, the taro milk tea w/pearls. The person ringing us up made sure we knew it wasn't the common purple taro. No worries there. They were excited to stab the big fat straws into their drinks, but I could tell by their faces something was wrong when they took their first sips. They didn't like them at all. I asked if it needed more sugar or anything but that wasn't the problem. The flavor of the milk and boba were fine. Neither liked the mushy bits of taro in the drink. One of my nieces said if she had a strainer and bowl, she could strain the liquid into the bowl, pick out the pearls, and then throw away whatever bits of taro were leftover, but we weren't going home, so we just tossed them. That was disappointing. read more
One of my favorite boba places in the Bay, it's definitely one of the better quality Taiwanese boba places with authentic taiwanese teas!! Prices are reasonable, and drinks are a good size. Always a plethora of toppings in your drink, they don't skimp on that. This location is nestled in a plaza right next to Newark Memorial HS, off Mowry. There's also a Happy Lemon in this plaza, but I obviously prefer to come here! Service is always friendly (and they're open during this shelter-in-place) and efficient. There's seating inside that would normally seat about 20 people. Lots of parking throughout the entire plaza. My favorite - Fresh milk trifecta #2: always get it with ez ice, it comes with boba, grass jelly and red bean. And on the bright side there isn't any caffeine since it's made with just fresh milk, so if you are looking for something that won't keep you up at all, this is the drink. Love the texture of the chewy boba, the red bean always adds a little sweetness, and the smooth grass jelly is always a nice touch. I always bring my own metal straw as they don't sell them here (they should lol). And don't forget to grab a stamp card! buy 10 get 1 free. The earl grey #6 is my mom's favorite, and it comes with 3 toppings (boba, pudding, grass jelly i believe). Used to be my favorite but I've moved on now :') read more

Today is National Boba Day and I thought it was convenient to try out a new boba joint!! Visited TeaTop and first thoughts; they did a very nice job on quarantining and closing off the space! Enjoyed the JPark video being played too. I tried the brown sugar jasmine milk tea with boba and it was something new... I've always had brown sugar black tea so this was a twist, quite tasty tho! I would come here again! read more

TeaTop has easily made its way on to my Top 5 boba places with its fast & friendly service, high quality tea, and the sweet scent of boba lingering in the atmosphere. Although I usually assess boba places multiple times before making a review, I've only tried TeaTop two times and was satisfied each time. The first time I tried TeaTop was at the Milpitas location. Several months later, I heard they were opening a Newark location (which happens to be close to me (; ) and I knew I had to go back. I came to TeaTop on a warm Saturday around 1-2pm (7/21/18). As I came inside, I was happy to feel the rush of cold air and no person in front of me in line. I was also greeted by a welcoming face of the cashier (didn't get to catch her name). The girl working behind the cashier was very helpful when we asked her about certain drinks like the Earl Grey 3Q (boba, coconut jelly, and herbal jelly/grass jelly). That deserved a star for the amazeballs customer service alright. Now, let's talk about the menu. TeaTop offers a variety of drinks like most boba places do, however they do have tea options that those boba places do not have. For example, they have the Sun Moon Lake Black tea (and milk tea if you want something more creamy), Darjeeling Black Tea, Alpine Green Tea, and Brown sugar Jasmine Milk tea (oh my gaw that sounds good). In addition, they also give you options to adjust your sugar and ice levels to your desire. TeaTop offers toppings such as boba, egg pudding, coconut jelly, mango pudding, grass jelly, mung bean, sago, and Ai-Yu all for 50 cents each. The prices of the menu are are ranged between $3-5. Of course depending on what you get, the prices will increase as you look at the slushies and Milk foam. Be careful to look over the menu carefully as the drink prices under the same category aren't necessarily the same. What takes my breath away every single time and makes me come back here for more is their Sun Moon Lake Milk Tea. Let me tell you something, one sip of their Sun Moon Lake Milk tea and I was practically drooling. You can definitely still taste the roasted flavor of the tea within the creaminess of the milk. Even with adjusting the sweetness of 75% or 80%, the milk to tea ratio was still good. Whenever I go to boba places, I always switch between boba or pudding depending on my mood. I have been craving boba for the longest time, so that's I got as my topping with my Sun Moon Lake Milk Tea. And dang, their boba was good. It sure wasn't melt in your mouth material like Boba Guys or Teaspoon, but it was the perfect consistency of chewiness and softness. The boba itself had a slight taste of honey without being too overly sweet. The place itself is very clean and has 3-4 medium sized tables to fit a group of 5-7 people at most. I really like how they have a large boba milk tea display that was big enough to take pictures with and share on social media. The catch is that if you take a picture with the huge boba drink display and post on your story (insta, Facebook, etc), you'll get 10% off your order as long as you show proof. Pretty neat if ya ask me. Overall, TeaTop really hits all of the points that I look for in any boba or food place I go to. With their quick & clean service and TOP notch tea, I have no doubt that this place will continue to thrive. read more
TeaTop has always been one of my consistent go-to's for a drink! Over the years the quality has stayed the same, and I'm glad to see them practicing safe COVID-19 guidelines; only 3 customers are allowed in the store at a time. My favorite flavor is #19, Signature Alpine Green Milk Tea. The milk is so fresh and creamy, and the tea flavor comes through strongly--love it! read more

I truly believe the saying, "Variety is the spice of life" but what do you do when you found your go-to drink? Because their Earl Grey Milk Tea - Less ice, 30% sweet is rocking my world. One thing I do notice is that every Tea Top location smells like stinky feet. Seriously, what is it? Lol. Is it the tea? I usually go to the Milpitas location but this place isn't too shabby either. I'll keep this place in mind when I'm in the area again. Oh and don't forget to get a photo op with their giant boba drink! read more

Our party of 2 arrived around 7:30pm on a Thursday night. There was no line and plenty of indoor seating available. I ordered an iced brown sugar jasmine milk tea with boba and my friend ordered a hot oolong tea. The drinks were ready at a reasonable time and were made to our liking. I ordered my drink at 30% sweetness and it was perfect! The jasmine tea flavor could have been a bit stronger but overall, I would recommend it. read more

Was in the area for lunch when I noticed this place. I have never heard of them before so decided to try it out. First impression was bad service as the server (I think she was the owner) was on her phone the whole time I was trying to order and seemed annoyed when I asked questions about the menu. I got the 5th item on the top recommended menu, the taro milk tea with sago. It was so-so, drinkable but nothing special. There are way better places like Yifang (they have the best taro milk tea!) and Mr.Sun. Overall the quality is meh and combined with the rude service I will not be coming back. read more

I've gone to the TeaTop in Cupertino, and this one is about the same in quality. The cup sizes are HUGE and makes up for the slightly more expensive prices. The milk tea is pretty standard and the pearls are also good. For 50% sugar, it's still on the sweeter side. Service was quick and the parking is easy. Lots of tea options and a good option if you're in the area and with a larger party because they have a good amount of seating. read more

First time trying here. When entering the shop, not that busy. No greeting from the workers; in fact, he is busy looking at his ipad. Even when we are ordering, he just input to the computer and not really look at us. The peach green tea is absolutely not recommended while passion green tea medley is just OK. The bubble is a bit hard to chew. I will definitely not go back to give another try - sorry... read more
It's a great place to get boba. There's a good selection of drinks to choose from and there's a decent amount of seating. I ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba, light ice and 80% sweetness. The drink came out in less than 5 minutes and it tasted good - not too sweet or watered down. I would definitely come back to try some of the other items on the menu. read more

Tea here is fresh and refreshing. My favorites here are the sun moon lake black tea and mango green tea. read more
I have been here for a couple times. First time was disappointed. Oolong milk tea with 25% sugar less milk. I think it was my fault to get it in less creamy. I have learned and order the popular taro milk tea with sago in 25 sugar this time. It's very flavorful with taro chunks. There's so many boba places in tri-city. There's some unique choices like sun moon tea, will try it next time. read more

Was not super amazed by TeaTop, although I have to say right off the bat that I did receive very good customer service. I believe it was the manager/owner that answered all my questions (if you know me, I'm a boba fanatic so I usually take my time ordering haha) with such attentiveness. I honestly forgot what I got -- I even looked on the menu on Yelp and cannot for the life of me remember lol. My friend got the Mango Green Tea and she said it was decent. The pearls were not super flavorful either; in contrast, they were quite bland. Their consistency was nice and chewy though. 3 stars, mainly because of the nice customer experience. read more
