3.5 rounded up. Great location, ample parking, near an In-N-Out, pretty hard to beat. I've heard Tisane is a top 3 spot but think it's very dependent on audience. Feels like the hip high school spot. Tons of specialty drinks with interesting blends but lacking some of the basic, OG drinks. Being open late is a plus but way too sweet, even when adjusted. Totaro w/ Boba - 25% sugar was way sweet, tasted like regular levels. Either their typical sugar is too high or they don't accommodate sugar adjustments, both of which are poor experiences. Boba was inconsistent as some pearls were cooked well and sweet whereas others were undercooked and firm. On the other hand, taro was creamy and there was a faint floral taste from the green tea.
There are such mixed reviews for this place, but I needed to try it for myself and I was pleasantly surprised. They serve quality tea with punny names, but their Roasted Oolong (Roast is History) was some of the best I've had in the Bay. Their fruit teas are on the sweeter side so would recommend 50%, but the Melon Rouge is quite good. The interior is really nice with black leather couches in three separate sections, perfect for larger groups. You mostly order on kiosks and they do offer DoorDash
- best quality boba in sj area - nightclub vibe inside - decently quick service, can order at counter or kiosk - lots of seating options ** personal favorites are the GTA and the Gram Brûlée
Came in the afternoon. Kiosk was located away from front door, but people using it blocks the aisle to the back. The music was on so loud that I think they don't want you to stay long. If you're hard of hearing, you can tolerate the loudness. However, the boba was good and haven't found this flavor.
Go-to spot for many young teenagers who have a sweet tooth (most likely because they still have the health to handle it!). I like that they offer a variety of unique drinks and fruit flavor pairings that sets them apart from other milk tea stores! I ordered the Dew Berrymore at 25% sweetness and less ice, and it still came out really sweet! Super strong artificial honeydew flavor, which I enjoy and find refreshing when paired with the sharpness of the jasmine green tea. I think if they incorporated a berry flavor into this to match the name of the beverage and reduced the honeydew, it'd also have a nice aftertaste! My boyfriend ordered the Blush because the description in the store said it was infused with strawberry puree, and he was a tad disappointed since it doesn't seem like these drinks have actual fruit in them. It was also very sweet and he wasn't a huge fan. The jellies had a good texture to them.
The best taro boba tea ever! They serve it with salted cream cheese on top so it's sweet& savory
Fast service but their blueberry matcha tasted and looked like milk mixed with blueberries and no matcha. I had my husband try to finish it because I don't like wasting. He could only drink so much before we threw it out. He ordered life's a peach which was good.
I ordered on the self-order kiosk and appreciated that they had photos of each drink on there! I got the Two to Mango with boba 75% sweet but it was still pretty sweet so I would try 50% next time. This is a great place for late night boba. It's also nice that they decorated inside for the holidays!
The fall off is hard. Change of ownership shows. Seems like the recipes changed and especially after everyone quit last year, no one knows how to do everything originally from before. Sure the service is typically quick, but Tisane was always a place a little bit better than average. It's always going there for the vibe and how late it's open, but now I'm paying for 7-8 dollar drinks that literally taste average. I had the sugar hill the other day and it tasted only like black milk tea. It's pretty hard to mess up fruit tea because it's literally syrup, but the milk tea itself is basically the same. It's unfortunate, but this place really did fall off.
Boba place that looks like a nightclub. Only 3 tables. Parking is ok. The boba drinks were good. The strawberry drink could have been more blended. I would come here again. Nice and cold AC in the summer.
Tried Tisane for the first time couple weeks ago. Will definitely say if I'm in the area late night I will be visiting this Tisane again. The ambiance was really cool, they had nice lights inside and big mirrors around the indoor sitting area. Definitely gave off club vibes. The service was really good, the bobarista gave out very good beverage recommendations. The drinks of course were just alright. I definitely had better at other locations. I overall give this business a 4/5 star review. It's the not the best tasting milk tea shop I have tried this year but I would say the vibes and the social space of this business was the great. Will definitely be back whenever I am in San Jose and craving a milk tea late nights.
This was my first time at this location and it must have been a quiet day as the staff were sitting down and chatting. I didn't want to interrupt so I placed my order on the kiosk. Most of the drinks come with topping already and some of the sweetness level can't be adjusted. Price for the drinks are almost the same as other boba spots. The interior is clean with a lounge aesthetic. There are two claw machines by the entrance. The drinks were a good and hit the spot in this warm weather.
The service is very friendly and fast. I do like that it's one of the most popular boba spot to hang out at during night hours. The seating feels like a nightclub. It's so popular that many people can't even hang out inside so they spill out to the outdoor area. The drinks are great! It fixes my boba needs during the late night hours! The names of the drinks are clever too! read more

it's kind of interesting how empty this place is, when just a few years ago it was super busy when I opened the door, it looked so empty that I almost thought the store was closed they have kiosks now that help with ordering but I realized quickly why there seems to be way less customers as soon as I saw the price -- I ordered the Blush drink with lychee jelly and it came out to almost $7.80 I was surprised how much the prices have gone up over the years thankfully the drink was good but definitely will become a once in awhile type treat instead read more
Club like boba store. Offers half off to first responders. They have unique and creative drinks here. Decent boba. Drinks are on the sweeter side. Opens pretty late. I got the grambruelee. Brown sugar black tea topped with graham crackers. Adds a nice cinnamon taste and crumbly texture to the drink. Good place if you are craving a sweet drink with different flavor combinations. Quick service and lots of parking in a busy plaza. read more

Came in and ordered two Barney and fruits. Staff was great and timely but the drinks were pretty bad. When taking a sip, I immediately noticed the fermented/carbonated mandarin oranges on the bottom of the drink. For the other drink I noticed this Barney and fruits had weird specks that I've never seen before.. along with spoiled mandarins. read more
My favorite late night boba spot! It's always open until 12 AM so I love coming here with friends when it's late and we're craving boba. But, there is always a bit of a line and parking is really tough in this complex. I got the Totaro milk tea which is different than what I usually order (I like fruit teas) but the oolong flavor paired with cheese foam is so good. I tried my friend's Pink Volcano drink but it just tasted like a strawberry smoothie in my opinion. Also, all 3 of us noticed that there were some hard boba balls which kind of ruined the drinks. read more
Walked in and immediately felt like a mini nightclub vibe with plenty of seating. I also noticed their hours and how they are open until midnight so this place must be the spot for a late night boba run. Place was clean and service was quick. You can either order at the cashier or self-serve kiosk. The menu has a good amount of drinks with different flavors and variety of toppings of your choice. I got the GTA drink and an Ark-nado drink for my dad. We were both pretty satisfied with our drinks! read more

Definitely one of my favorite boba places! Prices are very affordable, drinks are all very good, and the place is very welcoming! read more
This is a cute trendy spot. It's in a shopping center next to a Safeway and an In N Out, so parking may be limited during busy hours. Once inside there are two screens where you can go up to order. I liked the ambiance of the place, makes you feel like it's a good place to come hang out with your friends and have a nice boba. I went with my family and we didn't have to wait very long to get our drinks. I'd say we probably waited 5 minutes or so after ordering, and there was a good amount of people there too. I got the Luv U Berry Matcha (i thought the name was clever), you could taste the strawberry and the matcha. Personally, I've had better matcha, something about the flavor didn't feel so authentic, i give it a 3.5 out of 5. I did love the claw machine, it had all my favorite childhood cartoons. I didn't get to try it out, but it made me happy just to see that. I would go back again maybe try another drink. read more

I've been to Tisane a few times, and I keep coming back, especailly for two of their drinks: The ARKnado and The Blush. The ARKnado is my go-to order. I've tried pretty much everything on their menu, but this one stands out. It's a smooth ube blended drink layred with their Gram Brule Crema and topped with Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The combination is absolutely delicious, and I love how the creamy ube blends with the crispy sweetness of the cereal topping. It's a unique drink that I haven't found anywhere else, and the texture and flavors work perfectly together. I used to be all about the Blush before I discovered the ARKnado my daughter loves the Blush, and according to her, it's the only place that "makes it right." We've tried similar drinks elsewhere, but they never quite match up. The balance between the tea and strawberry flavor is spot-on. The atmosphere is cool, with nice lighting and big mirrors creating a vibe that's almost club-like. The service is quick, even when there's a line or a lot of Doordash/Uber Eats orders. Their drinks are super consistent, and the employees are fast. Plus, most drinks can be customized to your sweetness preference. read more

I've been going to Tisane since their grand opening. Their drinks have definitely stayed consistent throughout the years since 2019! Their drinks always come out quick and I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes to get my drinks. There is always plenty of parking in this plaza as well. My go to drink here is always Blush which comes with heart jelly! I also really like the pink tornado which is a really sweet strawberry smoothie. Keep in mind their drinks are REALLY sweet so I'd recommend getting less sweet. Overall, Tisane never fails to disappoint with their quality drinks and service. read more
I was craving a strawberry-ish drink and always came to this tea house to get the "Blush" drink. It is one of my favorites and is so cute. The drink has a similar taste to fruity pebbles and is so fragrant. It comes with cute heart-shaped jellies (you can add boba too but I don't usually). I get it with 50% sugar and less ice since the jellies make it sweet. If you're going for the first time, it's a great drink to try to test the sugar/ice levels. The tea house is pretty small. It is in the corner between CEFCU bank and Panda Express. The inside is festive, they always decorate for the holidays. Right now, they have a Christmas tree. They have seating inside and outside but it's pretty small so you may not get it if you have a big group. The tea house has a nightclub kinda vibe. The tea baristas are super nice and service is quick. I got my drink in less than 2 minutes. They also have a kiosk to order if you prefer that. Parking can be a pain since it's so close to other stores and food places, like Safeway and in-and-out, it gets packed. I try to go after lunch hour, it's better during that time. read more

A boba place that is open late and have a club vibe doubling as a boba shop. They carry 20+ boba drinks and have extensive decor and three major couch seating arrangements to lounge at. The drinks are allright. It seems to be catered towards populations in their early 20s and younger. read more
