I'm not a boba person but have been on a desperate search for a really good fruit tea and tea jelly ever since we returned from Taiwan, and I finally found it at TP tea! The seasonal yuzu green tea still has good tea flavor and isn't overly sweet / artificial tasting (30% sweet), and they have the hard to find tea jelly. It's pretty empty on weekdays, but you can order ahead on snackpass to skip the line. It was packed on a Saturday afternoon! read more

Very yummy! I ordered a strawberry lychee smoothie with boba and lychee jellies. It is and was so very delicious! You can taste the strawberry and the lychee! So delicious! We also ordered a mango boba milk tea and it was yummy too! The third tea was a passion green tea with boba and it was super delicious! The service was quick for being super busy! The ambiance is very nice to sit in and enjoy a delicious tea! Wonderful place I'll be back soon! read more

This TP Tea location is the OG of its kind in the South Bay. Located in the Pacific Rim Plaza near Walgreens, Joy Dumpling, etc. The parking can be challenging during peak hours as this strip mall has some popular restaurants, etc. Cozy interior with house music playing. They do offer a few tables outside but mostly inside seating. House music is blasting as is the A/C. One kiosk to and cashier to order from. One unisex restroom/storeroom. Yuzu Emerald Fruit Tea: with Yuzuco 100% Premium Yuzu Juice from Japan (added tea jelly). Support your local business. read more

My winter melon milk tea didn't taste very winter melon-y sadly, and my drink was watered down due to the ice melting. I wish I could've had an extra ice option so the drink would be cold and the ice would maintain its integrity. IMO the boba wasn't too sweet either which isn't my preference (but I love sweet boba so take that with a grain of salt). But the popcorn chicken was really good! You order at a kiosk. There are seats if you want to hang out which is nice. read more

Summary * Takeout * Skewers stayed crispy * Good service (ordered at restaurant) Food * Pork neck * Chicken gizzard * Beef skewers * Mantou Pork neck was my favorite. Chicken gizzard isnt my usual jam. Beef was good tho pork neck had a balance of meat and fat. read more

I ordered the Lychee Cube Pearl Fruit Tea. It came out within 5 minutes. It has a bit of an artificial lychee taste but I still like it! The cube pearl tastes a bit like sugar. I recommend you get it at 25% sugar as it's really sweet. There are about 6 small circular tables. It's a great place to hang out with friends if you can grab a table. The parking lot is big and there's lots of spaces if you come at the right time. read more

Placed an order ahead of time online, and the drink was ready to pick up literally as I pulled into parking space. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Prices are still reasonable. Got the YGF family milk tea which is Tie Guanyin Oolong with the 3 toppings - and it just HIT so hard. Give it a try! read more

My friends and I decided to check out this place because we heard about the new Lychee drinks. I got the Velvet Lychee Fresh Milk Tea, 50% sweet, less ice, and with boba. The drink was ready in about 7 minutes. I'm typically not a fan of fruit milk teas because they tend to separate and not taste quite as cohesive as I would like, but I loved this drink! The milk tea struck a perfect balance of tea, milk, and lychee flavor. The boba was perfectly soft chewy, the milk tea was smooth, and the drink had a light sweetness to it. It was a Thursday evening, and there were quite a few people were there for the bogo deal. There are a few tables for seating, but most people were doing grab and go orders anyways. They had one kiosk for ordering. They had a restroom in the back which we had to ask the staff for access. This location is located in a plaza, so there was plenty of parking! I'm not sure if these drinks are here for a limited time only, but I definitely would come back again for this drink! read more

TP Tea - lychee fresh milk tea & lychee cube pearl fruit tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

People keep saying TP Tea is good, but I did not have this experience. We came to this plaza with another lunch plan but saw the tea shop was open so we went in. It was before 11:30am and apparently they were not ready to open. So they told us not to order on the kiosk, not in a nice tone. Then we waited outside, the waitress came out and closed the door without saying a word. Rather rude in the whole encountering. Nevertheless, we went back after lunch for milk tea. It's the regular milk tea with boba. I found their tea too milky and lacking the tea flavor, the boba is also smaller than other places, making it hard to chew even though they were cooked softly and chewy. The place was clean with comfortable and stylish seating arrangements, but most people came for a take out order. The music was Chinese pop songs, not too bad. All matcha were not available. The only good impression is the price is relatively reasonable compared to some tea places, but still in the $6+ range. read more

TP Tea is always a stop after having dinner at the udon noodles place next door! There's a self-serve ordering "iPad" at the front where you place your drink orders. The drinks come out pretty quick so not much of a wait if you're in a hurry. Their mango passion smoothie and brown sugar boba milk are our usual drinks here. On the mango drink, you can adjust the sugar level down to 30% with an option for no milk or oat milk. For the brown sugar boba milk drink, the lowest sugar level is 50%. Whole milk is the only option on this drink. Both drinks are well-made and served in a one-size only tall cup. Scattered around the perimeter are a couple of two-seat tables with a long bench seating on the right side. It's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot rather than a place where you'd want to hang out for a while. read more

The boba is amazing! It really captures that authentic Taiwanese milk tea flavor--smooth, creamy, and nostalgic, with perfectly chewy pearls that make it feel like something straight from Taiwan. read more

It turns out to be not that sweet and plain. So I don't totally like it really. I guess it could be just sweeter read more

15% sweet is perfect for Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea. I always order this one no boba on door dash or when i use snack pass to order ahead. I dont think the wait is too bad if u drop in and order depending on the day and time. Overall solid milk tea. read more

Still one of my favorite, go to milk tea chains from Taiwan. I have been going here consistently since they opened in 2018, always opt for the Winter Melon Tea Latte here when Im in the mood for something a bit sweet no adjustments. When I want something a bit less sweet, I always get their Tie Guan Yin Latte 80% sweet and less ice. Overall if you like your milk tea creamy and tea forward tasting, this is your place. I recommend ordering on snackpass to avoid the long lines as this spot is always busy , not a lot of space to sit inside, and you can get points towards a free drink. ** Also fun fact I learned from my recent trip to Taipei, TP Tea is a chain opened up by another chain in Taiwan called Chun Shui Tang, known as the creator of bubble tea!** read more

Taro milk 2/5 - this was not good.. we got 75% sweet and there was no flavor. Just tasted like milk. Two stars only because they use real taro but the taro doesn't mix with the milk. Would've been better if they blended the taro into the milk. read more

I got their Mango Tea Latte with Boba ($7.50) and their Strawberry Milk Tea with boba ($7.50). Boba per drink was an additional $0.75. Mango drink was a 3.5/5 stars. The mango flavor was nice but the overall drink was average. The strawberry drink was better, a 4/5 stars as the smoothie texture and flavor was nicely done. The white sofas inside were nice and comfortable and some Halloween decorations were up. There is only one kiosk and the customer ahead of me took an incredibly long time to choose her order so my wait time during this visit was incredibly long because the drinks came out very slow as well. read more

I enjoy their wintermelon and their green tea! I think the cube jelly is a great topping and I would recommend trying it if you like something chewy like boba but want a change. Not a huge fan of the golden jelly because I think tea top is better for that. Lots of sweetness levels to choose from. Snackpass is a great way to earn rewards and order ahead. read more

I am still a huge fan of TP Tea and it's still my #1 boba shop in the Bay Area. Pro tip: order in advance on Snackpass if you are in a hurry or don't want to wait as long for boba. I think they've greatly improved the wait time over the years. They are still very busy though which is great because it means they're doing well! My go-to is the tie guan yin milk tea with pudding or grass jelly. I love that they have a 15% option for their drinks -- I like my drinks slightly sweetness and 15% is perfect! I wanted a non-caffeinated option today since it was late afternoon and went with Moo! My Taro. I think it was just okay - I wish that the taro paste and the milk mixed together a bit better. Taro paste is sweetened and delicious, milk is just milk. The experience of drinking it felt like I only drank loads of the paste or just milk, where I would've much preferred to be able to drink both at the same time (I tried to mix the paste and milk as much as I could too). They have some indoor seating now, as well as some outdoor seats. Not a lot though. read more

Got the Tie Guan Yin tea, 50% sweet with light ice and crema top with boba and it was perfect! Boba was fresh and the tea had a great flavor! Perfect amount of sweetness! They have a cute, kid-friendly boba statue and decor and this place gets super busy! Great ambiance and good amount of seating indoors too. You order at a kiosk, but the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, so you can ask them questions and for pointers. Would DEFINITELY be back. Quality of tea and boba are outstanding. read more

TP Tea - Super cute statue with a ladder next to it! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

People really are serious about milk tea here! There were so many customers when I went around 3pm. The workers are quite efficient when putting together the order. You can definitely see a long stack of ticket orders coming in. To hats off to the team that was working hard to get all those orders out. They also have a big screen to showcase orders that are pending and orders that are ready for pick up based on your ticket number. So easy to let customers know if their drinks are ready without asking the staff. With that said , my drink took about 15 mins ish to come out. There a seatings inside but it is limited due to the amount of people that were there. Order: I got the mango milk tea that kind slushy like, don't think I wanted that unless it was blended and I misread. I personally like my milk tea iced. I also order the tie guan yin milk tea that I liked way more. It has a pretty good tea aroma. The place can be crowded and a little loud, and seems like a popular place for young and people bringing in their kids. It was a good pick me up since I needed to drive back in town to Fresno. read more

Rounded up due to amazing service! Long-standing boba establishment located in a small plaza with plenty of parking. There's a tablet for ordering and they seem to only take orders via tablet, which can sometimes delay the line because people take time combing through the menu and navigating the tablet when ordering. They have some tables inside and outside but it's not the kind of place like a cafe where you'd want to stay for a while using your laptop. Many people come and go and sometimes their orders can get backed up because of online orders. Their drinks are pretty good, especially their tie guan yin! I accidentally forgot to indicate lactose free milk for my order, and they generously replaced my drink at no additional cost. Service has always been friendly. read more

I've been to this TP Tea location in Cupertino many times, but this is the first time I'm doing a review specifically because I realize I have never written a thorough review, with my own thoughts and experiences. Given that this was the first boba place I'm going to in 2025, what better would it be than writing a review? Located at the Pacific Rim Shopping Center, it's not surprised that it is practically empty given that it is on New Year's Day. However, the inside of the shop was still bustling with people, and employees constantly having to fill in person orders, as well as orders for pick up and delivery. The prices of the Boba drink have significantly gone up, but compared to other boba shops, have stayed true to the quality of their tea and how specific the sweetness is for each drink (including ice). Me and my friend got the passionfruit green tea with boba (only I myself got the lychee jelly as an addition) -- and needless to say, it was one of the best things that I have gotten! Ambiance was pretty tight but overall very vibey. I'll definitely be coming back soon to check out the other different drinks that they have, but I would recommend this place to anybody and everybody! read more

I know everyone has their opinion on the best boba shop in the bay but my favorite is TP Tea. The tea quality I believe is just to my liking. My favorite is the strawberry milk tea. It has more of a slushy consistency which I prefer but I know that's not everyone taste. The tieguan is always a favorite of the people I'm around. It is quite strong though. The regular boba milk tea is also another one we order often. I would recommend ordering on the app first before you go. This location usually has a bit of a wait if you order in person no matter the day or time. I went at 2pm on a Wednesday and it still took about 15min+ to get our drink. They now have seating indoors but there isn't too much seating, especially with the amount of foot traffic that they have. Overall, would recommend this place but just remember to order earlier on line so you don't have to wait too long read more

The tea is very tasty! They clearly take their time in great care and making it. You order at a kiosk online, get a number, and wait for it. Their selection is decent. They get a ton of online orders because we were the only ones in the shop yet they made many drinks before they got to ours. read more

11/26 Tp tea quality is decent compared to other boba shops. The inside is crazy as ever and orders are constant. Not really a good place to sit for a long chat or to study. Really a grab n go. However is Tp worth the price? Meh Not all their drinks. I often get the strawberry milk smoothie w boba ($7.15) and this time a little disappointed. Tastes more like strawberry yogurt. Strawberry flavor isn't that intense but the boba had barely any flavor. -.5 Overall it's a decent place to get boba maybe the Taiwan MT ($6.95) or oolong MT. But not really my first choice. read more

TP Tea - Strawberry Whole Milk Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

We ordered the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea (5/5) and the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with QQ Noodles, both at 15 percent sugar. The QQ Noodles doesn't have much flavor itself, but is fun to chew on without all the extra sugar from the boba. The drink itself had a smooth, light, and creamy texture. TP Tea Cupertino is one of my favorite boba shops in the Bay Area. Specifically this location, I tried the 2 other TP Tea location, they weren't as good as the Cupertino location. There's always a line, I recommend ordering online and picking up. The tea here is strong and flavorful. I tried a bunch of drinks on their menu, and my favorite is probably the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea (15 or 30 percent sugar depending on how I feel). We also ordered the extra spicy popcorn Chicken (4/5). It had a nice spicy kick to it, the chicken was very tender and moist. It made me sweat a bit, but wasn't too spicy on the tongue. If I was to order again I would go for the spicy. The extra spicy had a heavy coat of chili powder, which is a bit too powdery for my partner (was okay for me). read more

I have to say this is usually more of a consistent tea place that i like, but this seasonal drink was not it for me. The lychee flavor was good but there was something about it that was not a good combo. I like lychee milk tea but maybe it was the fresh milk that changed it for me read more

My favorite boba tea place YUM! My family and I have been coming here since they opened 5+ years ago and it has been consistent each time! My favorite is the TGY milk tea or strawberry milk tea. Would recommend less sweet and ordering ahead online to avoid long waits (esp on weekends) read more

came back to try their drinks for their anniversary promo a month or so ago - all orange based but not super memorable, it kinda felt like they had extra oranges and tried to put orange in everything strawberry + orange (6/10): it was pretty average, just fruity. not sure if i'm a fan of the strawberry + orange combo orange mt (6/10): kinda funky, but i didnt really hate it. dont think id get again though orange passionfruit (6.5/10): probably my fav out of the 3 promo drinks - you could taste the sweet tanginess of the orange and the tropical passionfruit not sure if i could complain bc i got what i asked for, it was fun to try the diff drinks i dont normally get tho! read more

We order from this place all the time but don't know why I haven't done a review usually I place an order in the Snackpass app and by the time I get there, my order is ready. This time it was not ready because their label maker was out so they had to write the order and specifications on each container. Drinks were good as always but it was a long wait. Ambiance is casual but and there was plenty of windows so lighting was good. read more

TP Tea - Order counter. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

This is my favorite spot that I have to stop by whenever I am in the area. The drink quality is consistently strong. The only thing I wish they were more flexible about is customizing the ice. I usually order one extra drink with no ice, since I want to save it for my long drive back to LA. I understand that the drinks are made according to their set formula, so the liquid doesn't fill the cup all the way, but they still don't offer a no-ice option. That said, the staff is always super kind and helpful, and they gave me extra ice on the side so I could keep my drink cold for the drive. It was a thoughtful solution! read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

Came here with family and friends several time, usually in the evening after dinner. There's plenty of parking in a plaza that has restaurants. There's often a 15-20 minute wait. I'd say this feels more like an "upscale" boba shop. Prices are rising, similar other boba spots around the Bay Area now though. The service is decent. You order through a digital kiosk. Be ready to spend almost one Jefferson per drink! I order with less sweetness and less ice. Here's what I've tried: Tie Guan Yin Tea Latte and Tie Guan Yin Boba Milk Tea: Tastes like high-quality, classic milk tea. The boba here is small! My pet peeve for boba is when the tea has a bitter aftertaste. This was good on that aspect. Strawberry milk tea - Tastes fresh and fruity! The milkiness and the fruitiness balance out well. It's not artificial strawberry flavoring. Haven't tried their other snacks and drinks but I'd stop by if I was in the area. read more

The customer service here is amazing!! The staff is very kind and helpful and I like how they always help us to get the perfect drink. We came on 1/5 around 3:30pm and had a great experience! I highly recommend this location of TP Tea the drinks are very high quality and delicious! read more
