Boba milk tea + popcorn chicken
Emily W.

I've been here many times since it first opened years ago. 2026 and it's still quite busy and crowded all these years later. Two kiosks available to place order. Very crowded on a Sunday afternoon. Drinks took around 15-20 minutes to come out. This most recent time, I got the milk tea with grass jelly and it was great, no complaints. I think the tea flavor here is fairly authentic. Not my drinks but tried the brown sugar boba milk tea which was delicious, and the lychee milk tea which was pretty good too. We also shared the popcorn chicken and takoyaki. Popcorn chicken was flavorful and crispy. I'd definitely get this again. Takoyaki was nothing special but still pretty good.

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.

Strawberry lychee smoothie
Glenn M.

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!

Pork neck skewers
Aaron C.

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.

tieguanyin latte (right)

They have the best tie guan yin milk tea here!! It is my go-to! The tea quality is so strong and yummy. Not too sweet with less sugar.

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!

This TP Tea location was conveniently right next to where we had dinner. Loved the drinks here it was so delicious. Easy ordering through the kiosk. Drinks came out quickly. There were some nice small tables to hang out at inside. The tea flavor here is really good. I got 25% sweetness and it was perfect. My friends all really liked their drinks as well. Always love a good stop into TP Tea.

lychee fresh milk tea & lychee cube pearl fruit tea
Rini C.

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!

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.

Long line

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.

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!**

Anny O.

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.

Reviews are largely positive. People enjoy the strong tea flavor, customizable drinks, and fresh and chewy boba. The popular popcorn chicken and clean, casual setting are also well-liked.

Ask the Community - TP Tea

What kind of tea do they use in their strawberry milk tea? Is it green tea or black tea?

Do you still have tie guan yin tea latte on the menu? I don't see it on the Snackpass app

You could order it on the Yamimeal app.

How to order online?

You can order from the Yamimeal App as well, same price as in store!

Are they open for indoor seating as of March 31, 2022?

No. However, they have limited outdoor seating options.

Does anyone know if tptea offers gift cards?

Unfortunately TP Tea does not offer gift cards.

Do they do catering? Calling gets no response.

Tp tea will try to answer all phone calls. If you have any questions regarding catering you can talk to the manager of the store for more information.

I see a lot of boba shops, but there is always a line around the building here. What is unique about their drinks vs other places, besides being the OG boba shop?

To add onto the first answer, which I totally agree that TP Tea is a lot stronger compared to other shops. I think something that makes them unique is their QQ noodle topping, you don't find it at other boba shops.

Have anyone try use yumimeal online orders app to order they tea yet? Is working well? I know they have door dash but since like they charge so much yumimeal's price looks ok

get snackpass. no service fees 😊

As of January 2021, do the milk teas (NOT tea latte) use non-dairy creamer?

They use dairy creamer, but if you want you can change it to a latte and request for oat milk

Do they accept cash?

The last time I went in November 2020, they only accept credit/debit cards and no cash.

Are they open on Monday?

They are open on mondays again!

Can I order and pickup?

Yes. just call and if you're lucky, they'll pick up. If they don't pick up, then just drive there and order. You need a mask to enter the place to place your order.

What's the order app?

They had an third party app to order with extra charge per drink, but it was suspended.

Do they take online order now?

You can call them and they will take your order! You need a minimum of 3 drinks and you need to pay by giving them card info. They will give you a number and you can pick it up.

The paper sign on the door says they will open 12-4pm effective March 16, 2020. I went today (March 24, 2020) at 2pm and the store was closed. Does anyone know if they decided to completely close due to the shelter-in-place?

Yes they are closed 3/23-3/26

Has anyone tried their tea with cheese creama yet? Is it good?

Yes! They have seasonal drinks right now too, so you can get the cheese creama with Mango or Grapefruit Tea.

I went today and the cashier said that their milk teas (not just the lattes) use actual milk. Do they not have non-dairy creamer options anymore? Their menu doesn't make the allergy info clear

They use non-dairy creamer! The only time they use milk is for lattes and if you request it (it is an additional cost)

Do they use dairy for their milk teas?

Only for their "Lattes" contain dairy. They use non dairy creamers for their milk teas :)

What is the difference between milk tea and tea latte?

Tea Latte uses real milk while milk tea uses creamer

Is there dairy-free milk?

When I asked, milk teas use non-dairy creamer while tea latte uses real milk.

We typically have an hour between ordering and pick up. The Signature Avocado Smoothie with Chia Seed is a must-get for us.

The tart yogurt and creamy avocado blend together to create a rich smoothie vessel to host the chia and boba in every sip. We love a nutritious + delicious bevvie combo. The Peach Rice Gum Delight is probably my favorite. Even with the recommended "0% sweetness", the drink has tons of perfectly not-too-sweet earthiness and light flavor.

Not that creamy but tea was on the medium strength. Floral level was also about medium. For bogo it's great! 7/10 BOGO Osmanthus Milk Tea $7.49 - same comments as above but no floral notes, just tea. 10/10 Mango Avocado Twist $10.40 - super creamy and the mangos used were sweet! Chunky bits of mango blended well with avocado! Yum

There were two people making drinks and one person handling the finished drinks, adding toppings and whipped cream, calling out orders, putting on lids, and answering questions. At one point, I saw 12 to 15 drinks piling up on the counter. She handled it all in stride and was super nice. Kudos to her! Overall, not my fav location and the drinks could be better. I've given this place multiple chances but I'm never impressed.

I ordered three drinks through the self-order screen like I normally do. There were banners displayed in the store advertising a "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" promotion, but when I placed my order, the promotion didn't apply on the screen. Since the cashier was busy, I went ahead and paid, assuming they could help correct it afterward. Once I mentioned that I had purchased three drinks but didn't receive the advertised free drink, the cashier said she would check with who appeared to be the owner/manager. She asked, and the response was immediately no. The cashier then came back and simply told us, "Unfortunately, it's not possible." What bothered me wasn't even the price of the drink--it was the way the situation was handled. If a promotion is being prominently advertised inside the store, customers shouldn't be expected to know that it won't automatically apply when ordering through the store's own self-service screen. I had clearly purchased more than the two drinks required for the promotion, and there was no attempt to explain what went wrong or offer any kind of solution. I like led this place but this experience was disappointing and could have been handled with much better customer service. So disappointed!
