The other place for boba tea without paying extra for pearls. It was my first back because I felt like having one since I didn't want to drive to the 99 Ranch/Milpitas Square shopping center. And because I was coming from Fremont back after shopping in the Fremont Warm Springs area. Excellent service all around. Got the basic boba with pearls. Same price as Fantasia. Will definitely return if I shop at Lion Supermarket or even McDonald's. read more

Ten Ren Tea is located in the City Square Center. Parking may be hit or miss here, as this plaza gets pretty busy. The exterior is simple, while on the interior, they are an actual tea shop that also sells boba tea. The service was a miss - the employees did not seem that friendly or welcoming upon walking in and during the ordering process. I was sent to the other counter to pay and trying to pay was a hassle because that employee was more focused on having a full on conversation with someone else than to ring me up. My drink was already done and waiting for me at the previous counter and I was still not helped, until I had to say something. I ordered their Green Milk Tea with boba and grass jelly - about $7 for a large, which is not that expensive compared to most other competitors for that size. The milk tea tasted so watered down and overly sweeten though, so I was not able to finish drinking it. I went a few stores down for another boba drink. read more

We don't come here as frequently as we used to since the WFH eliminated our work commute to Milpitas. Over the years, the ladies that run this location have been the same, friendly and recognized my spouse every time. The boba teas and freezes have been consistently great tasting, refreshing and reasonably priced with or without toppings. Mocha freeze was our go to drink and it was smooth, cold and same taste as always. read more

This is the best Ten Ren location imo! Their teas are brewed really well, my favorites are their honey green tea and honey milk black tea, 70% sweet. read more

Consistently good tea, friendly staff, quick service. Always love Ten Ren Milpitas! No other notes. read more

Ten Ren Tea is an OG grab and go boba tea institution in the bay. They sell loose leaf tea too, some satchels, and other tea items. They are known for cheaper pricing, stronger tea taste, no frills quick service (hopefully you have an idea of what you want when you get here), and consistent chewy and flavorful boba. Their pearl drinks come with boba automatically. I wish they had some flavored drinks that had homemade purees instead of syrups (my main criticism). At least they don't overdo the syrups, so they taste pleasant and balanced enough that I don't mind the artificial flavor. Their ice teazers/blended ice drinks are quite smooth and fluffy tasting slushies! They have a list of top 10 flavors & recommendations, but I'd really just get whatever flavor you typically like. I purchased a box of their genmaicha satchels and found it to be a little less potent than I prefer, but it's definitely better than some other genmaicha brands I've tried. Ten Ren is a great consistent boba place to grab drinks at if you're in the area, and especially if you are more fond of an old school taste with good tea strength. read more

This used to be my go-to spot for boba and I was looking forward to come back again to redeem my birthday drink! I was surprised to find that the prices were reasonable compared to its competitors in the area. The owners were nice enough for me to bring my dog inside. I opted for the standard black milk tea with boba (light sweetness) and the tea had great tea flavor. The boba was just okay and I wish it had more sweetness to it. I would come back to again to try something else! read more

Ten Ren Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

An update and well I should've read my last review as I didn't take my own advice! Well here I am back for my yearly trip and what do I get....a Jasmine Green Milk Tea with no sugar, no ice, but this time with grass jelly. They have good grass jelly chunks in the drink. It's smaller in terms of drinks I'd get at other locations but I do appreciate that they don't tack on tax on top of the prices they show on the menu. For a Jasmine Green milk tea "small" it's $5.25. Bring cash if you're spending a lot here. It was again, VERY bitter. Again for a place that specializes in tea, I would hope they know how to steep tea properly. But on the plus side, I can dilute this and add sugar and ice and get more for the drink. But if you are going to drink this straight out, I suggest ice and I suggest sugar. The service is good. Quite fast and helpful and after I got my drink there was a stream of folks coming in. So they're not hurting for customers which is good. But I just prefer other tea spots. Maybe next year, I'll try out a different drink. read more

Been coming here for years, love the standard black milk tea but it seems they use real milk (I'm lactose intolerant). There is plenty of parking as it's in a court with lots of other stores, restaurants and a Lion Supermarket. They take cash and card. FYI, came by again on 11/29/2025 and saw they posted a sign that shows they are closed 11/24-12/09. read more

Loose leaf tea and yummy bevys. Note - there are two sides for ordering ; upon entering Left is tea purchases to go and on the Right are specialty drinks (such as boba) The ladies there were very helpful and kind. It is a small place - but the offerings are delish. I got some chrysanthemum buds, black tea, and oolong green tea Would I go back? Yes! read more

I've been coming to Ten Ren for years! I love how they have a large selection of fruit teas as those are the ones I typically gravitate towards. I usually go for the lychee green tea or the rose tea. I find their pearls to be too soft and mushy for my liking so I opt out of those. Overall, good quality and the employees are nice and friendly! read more

Milk tea and grass jelly and lychee with boba is good! Not the best I ever had Light tea flavor. Two older ladies were sweet. One makes the drinks and the other is the cashier. Two large cups was $12.50 I remember his place being a lot better. But it's not too bad. Lots of boba in the same plaza. Parking can get full during lunch/dinner time with the surrounding restaurants Half boba drink and other half of the store sells tea. read more

This place has an extensive drink menu. They are more known for their teas than the sweet frozen slushy stuff, but they do offer the frozen drinks if that's your preference. Prices are acceptable and comparable to other places that sell boba drinks. Courteous staff. Small shop located in an Asian plaza. To-go as there is no seating inside. read more

Ten Ren Tea - Passionfruit Mango - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Terrible experience! I ordered two drinks; Large:Green tea with milk, boba + grass jelly Large: Green tea with milk, white boba (I was ordering for someone else) I paid with cash. For a total of $10.75. Paid $20. They gave me $8. It took a while to get my money back. I offered to take $.75, but they didn't even give to me. The reason is because they made a mistake after I gave them money! They didn't even show me the right order price on the cashier!! The "true total" $12. I will NOT be ordering here again. I do not, recommend this location. read more

There was a long line when we stopped by. However, after a few minutes they opened a second line and it moved quickly. It was well standing in line and the wait as the drinks here were delicious! We ordered the following: -Sweet Mango Ice Teazer with lychee jelly - What a refreshing drink with a generous amount of jelly -Guava green tea was absolutely delicious. It was not overly sweet either. -Grass jelly with pearls and the grass jelly with lychee jelly drink. Both were great with the grass jelly and toppings. The employees were friendly, efficient, and welcoming. The shop was also very clean. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other teas in addition to buying some of their loose teas. read more

Love TenRen as I grew up drinking this brand. Their milk teas have a strong tea flavor & the texture of the boba is always really good. Recently I've been a huge fan of their hot teas (ginseng/honey/goji). If you're ever looking for a box of tea to give as a gift or just to have a home, highly recommend getting a box of their 8 treasure tea. It's sweet from the rock sugar, moderately floral, and a great option for even people who don't like traditional tea!! read more

A hole in the wall tea spot! They offer such a big variety of teas to take home and make in store. I ordered the lychee green tea and mango green tea, the tea flavor is strong and really shines through which I enjoy. I would adjust the sweetness to enjoy more of the tea aroma. Service was kind and fast, would come back next time I'm in the area! read more

My friends and I have been coming to Tenren since high school and we are never disappointed. With price increases and inflation, a large milktea with boba is still $5.50 at this Tenren location, which is amazing! I got the Osmanthus milk tea with boba and it was delicious! I forgot to ask for less sweet but the drink was still really good. My friend got the passionfruit milk tea with boba, but she forgot to ask for less sweet. Her drink was so much sweeter than mine so she asked the worker to make it less sweet. The service was amazing as they were accommodating and added more tea to make the drink less sweet. When you come into the store, you order on the counter on the right side, and you pay for your order afterward. The workers are really nice and they also sell loose tea leaves at the store. This is more of a grab and go type of boba shop. read more

I don't know why there are so many good reviews, but honestly, this is the worst milk tea I've ever had in the Bay Area. I've been to the Ten Ren Tea in Cupertino multiple times and I really like the milk tea there, so I thought this one would be the same. I ordered White Peach Oolong milk tea and it came out a weird color that looks like diluted tea with a few drops of milk. The taste is even worse. I was expecting a hint of white peach, but it turned out that the white peach flavor was from very sweet syrup. Other than the syrup, the milk tea was almost tasteless - it didn't taste like tea nor milk. My partner ordered green milk tea with pearls and it was basically the same - diluted tea with a few drops of milk. Even worse, the pearls were tasteless and the texture was like rubber. It was a very disappointing experience at this Ten Ren Tea place. read more

Let me preface this by saying, I used to come here all the time pre-Covid, but I remember the tea started tasting diluted the last couple times I went to this location. I love ten ren, it's my favorite boba place, but I usually would prefer the cupertino one since I felt there was a stronger taste. I decided to give this store another try the first time after Covid and I'm pleased to say I'm impressed again. There is lots of parking in the plaza where ten ren is located. You order on the right side after walking in and pay on the left side. The speed in which they make the drinks is really fast. Most of the time you get your drinks in under 5 minutes. My favorite drink is their roasted oolong milk tea, no ice and 50% sweet. (5.50) It is decently priced for its size of drink you get compared to some other places. They maximize the tea flavors with their loose tea leaves. This causes the milk tea to have a strong oolong taste which I like. I love how the flavor isn't too overpowering having just the right amount. I also love their strawberry milk tea as an alternative choice for a fruit flavored drink. I highly recommend ten ren if you like strong tasting teas. Also, get a little higher sugar if you don't like bitter tasting teas. One of the best boba places in the Bay Area. read more

Ten Ren has to be my favorite place to go when I'm craving a fresh, authentic milk tea. I've been coming here for years, and I still go out of my way to come here to fulfill those cravings. My go-to is always the Pearl Milk Green Tea and the Honey Green Tea when I'm not feeling milk. Since this spot is quite literally in a tea shop, it makes sense that their top drinks taste refreshing. Worth the price (in comparison to other boba spots that have jumped up to $7-$8 in the area!). Quick to-go service. Chill vibes, nice ladies working. read more

No complaints with the boba but their point system has been down for months and they don't seem like they'll be fixing it (which is terrible since I literally had a free drink in there for my next visit I haven't been able to redeem). I usually bought 2 drinks every time I went since I knew I could rack up points to get a free drink but now my free drink is lost forever boba is still good tho read more

I've been going to Ten Ren in Milpitas for 15 years. I've experienced so many new milk tea shops that have opened in the Bay Area over the years and Ten Ren still remains my favorite. Not only is the tea quality top notch, but their prices aren't as high as other spots. Also, they allow you to bring your own reuse-able cups and they fill it to the top! (See photo) I highly recommend this milk tea spot to locals & visitors! Pro-tip, get their small boba instead of their regular boba. Their small boba have better texture/taste IMO read more

My all-time favorite place for boba is at Ten Ren! Drink Ten Ren Black Milk Tea Ten Ren Jasmine Green Milk Tea Toppings Boba Grass Jelly The Ten Ren Black Milk Tea and Ten Ren Jasmine Green Milk Tea are my all-time favorite drinks to order when I come here. The Black Milk Tea is creamier and has a thicker consistency. The Jasmine Green Tea has a strong Jasmine tea profile and less thick. Ten Ren makes their own grass jelly where you can taste how fresh it is. Parking Shared parking lot with other businesses; it can be packed at times to find a close parking space near the entrance. Customer Service Always warmly greeted by the staff and you earn points for every drink purchased. Ambiance Small tea shop with no seats to grab your drinks to-go. The staff is quite quick about making orders and are efficient when it's busy. read more

I have always thought of Ten Ren as a place to get quality tea and it is. My go-to order for YEARS 10+ was #63 the honey chrysanthemum tea with grass jelly. I still get it sometimes. Just recently, the weather has been ridiculously hot and I decided to try one of their slushies or known on their menu as Teazers. I decided to try their Strawberry and Mango Teazer. Perfect for a hot day! The flavors did not taste artificial but very close to their natural flavors which I enjoyed! It was fruity and tarty! I like adding small pearls because they freeze up. The mango flavor is sour mangos which I found impressive because not many places have mango syrup that taste like that. So good! I've also tried their Lychee Mango Teazer too, and that one is just as good! The sweetness of the lychee went really well with the sour mango I also appreciate that they are one of the few places that can do an almond milk tea or almond slush! I would say this is one of the best boba shops in the Bay Area! It is well rounded and I would say all of their drinks I've had here are good. It is a small boba shop though where you just order and go, there are no seats. You order up in the front and pay towards a little further in. They have a buy ten, get one free program too! read more

Come support Ten Ren if you guys are ever in the area. Customer service is on point and the boba there high quality

Most boba shops have the tea part of "bubble tea" as primarily a vehicle for sugary goodness. Ten Ren puts the tea front and center, and that's what I've loved about having boba there (though it helps they're priced very well and also sell bulk loose-leaf tea). They're basically a tea shop that conveniently sells boba! They do their tea flavor justice by not masking it up with too much milk/sugar so you really taste the tea as you're sipping it. This particular store is divided into two with the tea leaves and register on the left, and boba ordering/pickup on the right. The menu is massive, but you can order using numbers and adjust them with typical things (sugar levels, ice levels, size etc). Hot and non-caffeinated options are helpfully noted with a red and blue dot respectively. The boba is also nice and chewy while being on the less-sweet side. Even at default sweetness the drinks are generally still much less sweet than your average boba store. A couple things to note: their "pearl drinks" already have boba in the price. They're also all tax included, as noted on their menu. So these drinks are quite competitively priced! ==Osmanthus Green Milk Tea [5/5]== I forgot to ask for it to be less sweet and it was still a good sweetness level for the flavor. Very nice aroma blend with just enough milk to add creaminess but not overwhelm the flavor. Would definitely get this one again, but they have so many teas! ==Ying-yang Pearl Milk Tea [5/5]== Solid given that it's a blend of coffee and black tea and that coffee isn't really their 'specialtea' (it's a great pun and you know it). The coffee flavor is remarkably potent and clean without tasting bitter or burnt at all. Well balanced as is appropriate for a drink named "ying-yang". read more

5 stars because this Ten Ren is OG !! original gangsters in boba forsure, including the aunties that work there (; it's a legit af tea store -- one half is for drinks & boba, and the other half is a huge variety of loose tea leaves to buy! amazed and super appreciative prices are not jacked up after over a decade in business!! do keep in mind they close pretty early (6/7pm) read more

My family and I have been coming to this Ten Ren for years. Anytime we are in the area, we will stop by this place. It's one of the earlier boba shops in the area that has not lost its charm on us. We always get the lychee pearl green tea (#16) (Tbh this review is mostly based on this drink LOL). It's just so refreshing, and the boba is so soft. This is one of the very few exceptions for fruit teas that I will make. I dare say that this is the BEST lychee drink I've ever had. I came here recently with my bf, and he got passion fruit pearl milk green tea (#11). We both agree that the lychee is way better, but the passionfruit was new and interesting for me. It's still refreshing and hits you with that tropical sourness - a solid choice if you're into passionfruit. In regards to location, I think this Ten Ren is better than the one in Cupertino. They actually cut up the lychee into bits rather than leaving it whole, and the drink is not overly sweet at 100%. The store is split in half with one counter for ordering drinks and the other for selling high quality loose tea leaves. My bf was looking to buy some tea leaves, and the older man helping him out was very nice. Ten Ren is admittedly not as flashy as newer boba shops these days, but they're a classic goodie that you know will value the quality of tea. Highly recommend it if you're in the area. read more

Ten ren!!!! A south bay classic -- this location specifically. Owned by an older lady who knows exactly what she's doing/making, ten ren offers a HUGE menu of boba at really competitive prices. Like some drinks are $5 WITH pearls??? where else are you getting that? I love the lychee green tea with boba, but the menu is so huge that it'll satisfy any of your cravings. The space is pretty tight inside, and there's sometimes a line outside the door, but they have their own system where you order one on side and then you turn around and pay on the other. I love ten ren! come try when you're in the area! read more

Cold on Hot dayz TenRen specifically in Milpitas has been capturing my heart. As I started to journey farther into boba, I started to play around more with frosties, slushies, freezies, and all other names places come up with. Here, they are called Teazers. HA Tea-zer? Teaser? ha-okanyway The one that i get has been my one and only go to for the last 3 years is the #36 Lychee Lover Mango Teazer. So I want to start by saying Lychee and Mango are 2 of my favorite fruit/flavors so the bias may be here. But specifically mango, i can appreciate a ripe sweet mango or an unripe sour mango. The Lychee Lover Mango Teazer has these small unripe mango bits that really add to the slushed goodness. Sweet sour candy + Aiyu Jelly made this amazing!! A must try for mango lychee lovers hence the name Hot on Cold Dayz The other side is hot drinks and I can't help and be asian bout it and get Almond milk tea. #6 Almond Pearl Milk Green Tea hot really soothes me on cold nights. I even bring a tumbler to pour into to keep it warm on longer drives. Unfortunately my tumbler is huge and they only have smaller sizes for hot drinks so sometimes its 2 orders. But on a cold day, if you are looking for an alternative to normal hot milk tea or a hot cocoa, i would FOR SURE recommend Almond Milk Green Tea. This is especially nostalgic since the SJ Grand Century Pandan waffle lady opened a bakery here once during 2018 or 19? She was couple doors down from Tenren and I would get the Pandan Waffles and have Almond Milk tea OMG I WAS SO WARM AND HAPPY! Too bad she got a better deal back in SJ in 2020 so now shes gone. But the Almond Milk tea stays and reminds me of that warm winter night.. read more

To be honest, I'm not a fan of milk tea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd openly admit that I'm not your average Asian- I just don't care for that kind of thing. Lmao!! Don't judge me!!! I have always been a fan of Ten Ren Tea because the tea is what stands out from the products they offer. None of that tea being masked by sugars and artificial flavorings here!! TRT is kind of a drive from my home so I don't come here as often as I would like but since my family has been dining in the complex more often it has sparked my cravings. While I would like to give the business 5 stars, I ended up deducting one because my drinks at times can be very very overly sweet. My most recent order for my grapefruit green tea was no different. The lack of consistency can be lightweight frustrating but I'm a fan overall. read more

I found this place on Yelp when I was looking for a place to get boba after lunch. And I'm so glad I did. I was skeptical at first bc it looked like a tea shop rather than a boba store but I'm so so glad I gave it a try. They offer a wide selection of menu, and their tea actually taste like tea, if that makes sense. I ordered the high mountain oolong milk tea with boba and my bf ordered the honey green tea with grass jelly. Both drinks had so much aroma and they were not overwhelmingly sweet. It's weird to describe a drink as "fresh" but it was very fresh, no weird aftertaste or bloating feel like you get with a lot of sugary drinks. I think this was the best boba I've ever had (and I drink a lot of boba!) i am definitely going to visit other locations and come back here if I'm ever in the area again!! read more
