Longest lines and waits ever. The kiosks where you order don't tell you the wait times. I recommend not ordering from here if you're in a hurry. There's always always a wait. But the teas are good. Great balance, quality teas, chewy boba. read more

I tried their classic pearl milk tea and jasmine milk tea with boba - both 80% sugar and less ice. I highly recommend both! This place is generally crowded during prime hours so they've utilized online platforms such as DoorDash and SnackPass to ease the wait times for customers. Of course these platforms will charge convenience fees which takes away money from businesses that are already suffering during this time. If there's a small crowd, I encourage you to wait in the social distancing friendly line. If you're in a rush, there is a QR code at the door or I submitted that to Yelp photos. I encourage you to to use the QR code over DoorDash.. compare the prices and you'll see why. read more

===TL;DR=== - B6. Winter melon tie guan yin (hands down best blend I've had) - Really wanted to try their QQ noodle topping but they ran out (I want to relive my OG Verde dream ;~;) - They also sell snacks! (Fries, popcorn chicken, shrimp tempura) - Suggest to order it through the SnackPass app or their online portal to avoid standing in line ===TMI=== Finally got around to try this place on a Saturday night. Surrounded by mini crowds of people just waiting for their drinks (wasn't even the queue). Preordered our drinks while we were finishing up dinner so the wait time wasn't that bad. Surprisingly, they blended the 2 flavors really well so I finished it before I can take a picture of it! I'm loving their disclaimer on "no ice", thank you transparency. Go read the picture I've attached haha. read more

overall rating: 4/5 love me some tptea!! i always get the taiwanese classic milk tea with lychee jelly on top. the taiwanese classic mt comes with boba, grass jelly and qq noodles. qq noodles are something interesting that they have added into this drink and i think it's pretty good! wait time for the drink is always long (always wait close to 20-30 mins for my drinks) but luckily they use snackpass so i normally will just preorder in the app and will just come closer to the call time. if you do decide to go in, there is a kiosk (sometimes there is two) where you can order. there are a couple seats inside (and outside) for you to wait for your order. they also don't call out the numbers some times and will just leave your drinks at the front so i would keep an eye on the drink counter. read more

My new favorite boba in the area! Got the strawberry milk tea (which I didn't realize was frozen vs. just iced, but it was super good nonetheless). Got that at 50% sugar, which was perfect. Also got the brown sugar fresh milk tea, which was divine - just wish you could adjust the sweetness on it. We did have to wait about ~20 minutes for our drinks, but that was OK for us. Just know that going into it. read more

Visited this place on the fly just to try something new outside I-Tea and Happy Lemon. First off, this place is super clean. So they really have the covid management under control. There are social distancing marking on the floor and when you order, you order through a tablet yourself. From there, there are an assortment of drinks that you can customize too sugar and ice wise. I ordered a passion fruit green tea with regular sugar and no ice while my friend ordered a honey green tea. Once you order, you wait outside while they have a PA system call out order numbers. Thankfully this is one of those places where you can hear the numbers crystal clear. Finally this leaves the drink itself...which...gets a -1 star. It's good, don't get me wrong. But the boba pearls seemed a bit on the small side as opposed to other boba shops. On top of that, for whatever reason, the passion fruit green tea is a bit more tart than most places. Had I known it would be as tart as it was, I definitely would've bumped the sugar to 120%. But I suppose the taste itself isn't bad. Just doesn't quite hit I-Tea's version of passion fruit green tea. read more

I frequent the Oakridge location in San Jose and TP Tea stands pretty high on my list. I heard this was the original location so I had to stop by since I was in the area. The line went by slower than an average boba shop - there was a huge crowd of people waiting. That's how you know it's great! I ordered two C8 akas the 3Q TP Milk Tea which is their classic milk tea with three toppings. It tasted amazing - slightly creamy, strong tea taste, and great portion of toppings. It also, thankfully, did not leave a bad milk tea after taste. I can understand why people love this location. I will definitely be back if I was in the area. read more

TP has to be one of my favorite tea places. Their Tie Guan Yin tea has such depth of flavor. My go to order is the Tie Guan Yin winter melon tea. I wish I could adjust the sweetness as I usually don't like my bubble teas with too much sugar but this is the one drink I would make that exception because it is SO good. If you are going to come here, use the QR code and order in advance on their website. It is almost impossible to find on Google and also not listed on yelp. Each time I visited there is usually a long line to place an order and also a 20+ minute wait for them to make your drink. Would HIGHLY recommend ordering in advance. read more

My sister has been wanting to try this place for a while and since we were getting QQ Noodle for lunch which is in the same plaza we decided to get some boba too. The plaza has a huge parking lot so you will not have trouble finding a parking spot. Looking at the reviews the QQ noodle seemed to be popular. I have never had noodles as a topping in a boba drink so I thought, "What the heck, why not?" and ordered the C5 tie guan yin boba QQ milk tea ($5.50). The drink itself was fine and the QQ noodle topping was interesting. The texture is like boba (except thinner) but the chewiness wasn't anything too different from your boba. It's just that instead of expecting a ball it's thinner and longer. It was good to try the noodle topping once but it's not really my thing so I wouldn't get that again. I'd want to try one of the other drinks on their best sellers list like their strawberry milk tea, fruit teas, or tea with cheese creama. read more

Overall: 3.7/5 This is my cousin's favorite place so she took us here to try it (but right before closing). We got the 3Q TP milk tea and the cream cheese mango tea. The tea flavor wasn't prominent so it was the toppings that made the drink enjoyable. For the mango drink, it was just okay. I guess we goofed and should have ordered their specialty- tie guan yin tea latte ‍ read more

Hands down one of my favorite places in the Bay Area for boba! The quality here is one of the best! My favorites are the tie guan yin tea latte (on the very left) with 50% sweetness and strawberry milk tea (middle) with 50% sweetness. The regular pearl milk tea on the right was pretty good too if you are looking for a basic pmt drink. Growing up around the Cupertino I've tried a good amount of boba shops and this one is one at the top. Yes the drinks here are a little more pricey but for the quality of the drinks I say it's worth it! And the drink sizes are pretty big! This is the only boba shop where I get the tie guan yin the tea is a variety of oolong tea which is usually my go to type of tea at any shop! If you prefer a more creamy milk tea drink I suggest the tie guan yin but if you are looking for a more tea flavor get the tea latte! It's one of their popular drinks here! I usually get around 75% sweetness at other shops but the drinks here tend to be on the sweeter side. I've also tried the wintermelon tie guan yin but the regular tie guan yin tea latte is my go to. One of the other drinks I highly recommend if you like strawberry is their strawberry milk tea! The consistency of the drink is like an in between of a slushy and smoothie since it's not as thick! This one is also on the sweeter side so I get it 50% sweetness. There boba topping is also pretty good too! Every time I pass by this place I always see a line so I highly recommend downloading the Yamimeal app to save yourself the wait. Keep in mind if you spend less than $20 they charge of a service fee of $1 but it saves you maybe 20-30 min wait time. From my experience when you click ASAP for the online order on Yamimeal it takes about 15-20ish min or more depending on how busy they are but you can check the status on the app if it's being prepared or ready for pick up. Give this place a try! Would recommend to friends! read more

If you want boba where you can actually taste the tea, go here! I got the nostalgic black tea (comes with grass jelly, golden jelly, and boba), and the tea flavor was refreshing! I wanted to try it as is with its set sweetness, ice, and toppings, so I didn't adjust anything. I'm not a fan of grass jelly, but I didn't mind it here. Too many toppings for one drink for me though, so I probably wouldn't get the toppings with it again. (4.5/5) Popcorn chicken: I love popcorn chicken when it's done well. TP Tea did a decent job, but it just wasn't crispy enough. I need to feel that crunch when I take a bite, and the part where the breading and the chicken meet shouldn't be soggy. TP Tea is decently crispy on the outside, kind of cold/lukewarm, and more on the soggy side. Some bites I took were really stringy, too... Comes with basil, but the basil is just for show; no real flavor added from it. The overall flavor of the chicken was really great, which is where most of the positive points come from. Another plus is the amount for the price ~$7.xx (3/5) The line to order moved fast, but the wait time was insane for some tea... Don't think I'd go out of my way to come here. read more

[Covid Review] I think my hubby and I been here for 2-3 times. When they first opening, they're super busy with the long line. But the last 3 times, we went, the line was ok. If we passing by this area, we will definitely stop by here to get their drinks. We love their milk tea drink with varieties toppings. Their toppings are really fresh and chewy. They have strong tea flavor. We had their Taiwanese classic milk tea & tie guan yin milk tea. We love getting these 2 milk tea because they come with toppings. And the best part, we can adjust no ice and no sugar. The plaza here has available parking spots. Also, you can download their apps and order ahead before you come pick up and skip the long line. They open at 11.30am which is great, because some boba shop open at 12pm. read more

I've heard so many great things about TP Tea so I was sooo excited to finally get a chance to try it out! I got the Tie Guan Yin Boba QQ Milk Tea and my boyfriend got the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with boba. We got 100% sweetness in order to get the original milk tea flavor, and to our pleasant surprise, the milk tea wasn't super sweet! I can see why there is so much hype and love for TP Tea. The milk tea is so fragrant and strong and their boba is the perfect consistency. I am now in love with their QQ noodles! Such a unique texture and adds a little oomph to my boba. It's my fave topping now and I can't find it anywhere else. I have yet to try their other drinks so I'm definitely going to come back for those (but of course order the milk tea with boba and QQ noodles as well). PLEASE OPEN A LOCATION IN SOCAL!! read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

This is how I remembered my first boba drink years ago. Strong tea, less sweet (50%), and perfectly soft boba. So straightforward.

I been here twice and from both visits, they had lines out the door to order as well as waiting for their drinks. Even with the lines (and app orders), the wait was actually not that bad. I waited about 10 minutes for my drinks. I have tried their jasmine milk tea (80% sweet, no ice), tie guan yin tea latte (50% sweet, no ice), and strawberry milk tea. They were all pretty good and you can really taste the tea (good balance of milk and tea!), but the tie guan yin and the strawberry were slightly better than the jasmine. The strawberry milk tea is different from other places as it was kind of like a smoothie/milk tea, but it is still really good! This place became one of my top places to get boba and I would definitely go back to try their other drinks! read more

TGY family milk tea - 50% sugar still fairly sweet, could pass for 100 if no one told me. Less ice.

Made the order through the large touch screen by the counter. Selection and options are well organized and the system is easy to use. Orders that were ready were displayed on a separate display. Similar to waiting in line at the DMV. Waited 35+ minutes. Seemed like the average wait time for a drink here was around 30minutes. Seating available outside and indoor allowed for most to wait comfortably enough. Boba was chewy and seemed fresh and the flavor was good, but definitely not worth the wait. read more

This place was recommended by some friends and I stopped by after a long day to grab a drink. It was a Friday late afternoon and there were quite a lot of others with the same idea. I think I ended up waiting about 20 minutes for my drink. I didn't have to wait to order though. I think you can order online now so maybe that accounts for all the people waiting. Very covid safe. Most everyone waited outside socially distant. They have a little display on the side door with the numbers. It doesn't call it out but does ding when the numbers change. And they make the drinks in order so you will know when you're drink is ready to be picked up. I got passion fruit green tea with boba, half sweetness and less ice. I really liked the drink - strong tea flavor, not too sweet and portion was large enough for me. It's a $6+ drink though so it's a bit too spendy for me. But solid tea drink. read more

TP Tea - Passion fruit green tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

TP Tea in Cupertino is the original location in the Bay Area. They are in a small plaza with plenty of parking. In my opinion, this store is their most consistent location compared to their other ones. My favorites and go to drinks are their green tea latte with boba (with oat milk - I am not lactose, but this drink taste better with the milk substitute for some reason). I get the drink at 50% sweetness and it is a sweet enough. I also tried their Mango Matcha Latte and Strawberry Matcha Latte. The matcha for both drinks were light, the mango and strawberry puree were stronger and a bit overpowering than the matcha taste. Overall, the green tea latte is good, but the boba is a bit too chewy. read more

I haven't been to this location since before the pandemic but I stopped by yesterday with my boyfriend to grab some boba. I've been meaning to get the tie guan yin wintermelon drink since I enjoy tie guan yin and wintermelon so I ordered that with boba. The sweetness is nonadjustable for this drink. My boyfriend got the fantastic fruit tea with grass jelly. There was a bit of a wait but we got our drinks within 10 minutes. I liked my drink but it was a little bit too sweet for me and I wish that the tie guan yin wintermelon drink had adjustable sweetness. My boyfriend liked his tea but he said the fruit was sour in comparison with the tea. I would probably stick with getting the tie guan yin milk tea in the future but overall all of TP Tea's drinks are pretty solid and the tea taste is strong. No cash is accepted here and the parking lot has a good amount of parking. read more

Drinks themselves taste high quality and delicious. Strong tea flavors. Highly recommend for people who can appreciate high quality tea. There are some service efficiency issues though. 1. There is only 1 kiosk to order from. 2. Drinks can take a long time depending on how many people are there. This often leads to a pretty long line and wait time. Sometimes I just don't have the patience to wait that long for a drink. Drinks can also somewhat be on the more expensive side, ranging from $6 - $8 on average. read more

They had a lot on their menu, but I chose with a comforting flavor I always get. I ordered the Premium Jasmine Green Tea Latte. I enjoyed how much tea you can taste but also the sweetness. Restaurant was a little busy when I came mid afternoon, but their order kiosk lets you put your number to notify when your order is ready. read more

My go to weekly boba spot! I've been going to this place for a few years and no other boba place can beat it. As a kid, I loved QQ noodle as a topping and this is the only place I've seen so far that has it in my area. I love strong tea flavor so the drinks here are perfect. I usually get the Jasmine Milk Tea which was a slightly floral fragrance to it or the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea that was a roasted oolong taste. If you like toppings in your milk tea, I recommend the Tawain Classic Milk Tea which has boba, QQ noodles, and grass jelly for a good price. Along with the strong tea flavor, it is creamy and not too sweet. I branched out from the milk teas and tried the seasonal Mango Tea with Cheese Foam and it tasted very fresh with the creamy cheese foam. It is always busy on the weekends so I like to order ahead on the Snackpass app to skip the line. I find that the place can get crammed and I do wish there was more seating indoor and outdoor, but their delicious drinks make up for it! read more

TP Tea - Left: Tawian Taiwan Classic Milk Tea Right: Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

We had high hopes for this place because it's supposed to be from the "original" boba shop in Taiwan. TP Tea stands for Taiwan Professional Tea but the original boba shop is called Chan Sui Tang. I've tried a few drinks from here and have liked all of them but still prefer the Tie Guan Yin. The QQ Noodles are a unique topping. 1. C1 Milk Tea 4/5 We got this one at 50% sweet and felt like there was a strong honey flavor still. I didn't think there was anything super special about this but it was still a good drink. 2. C3 Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea 5/5 I thought this drink was excellent! It's the same iron buddha drink that is popular at Tea Era, but I think TP Tea does it better. I got 50% sweet for this one and thought it was the perfect amount of sweetness. 3. Fantastic Fruit Tea 4/5 I think this was a specialty tea they were making when I went but it has actual fruit pieces with basil seeds. It was a little bit too sour/lemon-y for my taste but definitely a refreshing drink. Prices are decent for the size of the drink you're getting in the bay area. I think the only con to this place is that the wait time was pretty long. First you have to line up to get into the store, and then there's a second line out the side door for you to pick up your drink. After ordering, I waited 25 minutes for three drinks. The orders started coming out pretty fast at the twenty minute mark so maybe a machine was broken. Heads up that there's a sign on that side door that flashes your number when your order is ready. As a side note, I asked one of the employees what the difference is between the Taiwan Classic Milk Tea (C4) and Milk Tea (C1). Turns out the milk tea is the same, but C4 just has the three extra toppings of boba, QQ noodle, and grass jelly. read more

Hands down one of my favorite boba milk teas. I don't know what they do, but I think they sprinkle some magic in those drinks. I'm one for simple drinks and got their regular boba milk tea with regular sweetness and less ice. You can taste the freshness of the milk tea and it doesn't taste like artificial sweetness like other boba places. The boba is smaller in size and a good type of chewy! Even after putting it in the fridge overnight, the boba was only a little bit harder in the middle which is different from other bobas where the entire boba is hard and doesn't taste good anymore. The line can definitely get long and out the door bc it's popping here. read more

Tie Guan Yin milk tea 5% sugar was sooooooo sweet I couldn't drink it after a couple sips so I brought it home to dilute with water

I've tried Boba Tea in a couple of spots in the Bay Area. TP Tea is one of the best I've been so far. They use ingredients from Taiwan, which means you will taste the original flavors from there. It is because when I'm drinking these delicious Bubble Tea, I feel like I'm visiting Taiwan. I love to travel this way too! I grab my order in Cupertino, but they are also in Berkeley and San Jose. I'm looking forward to visiting their new place in San Jose. My favorite is Strawberry Milk Tea, it tastes so delicious. My second fav is Taiwan Classic Milk Tea, it's really really good. I tried Winter Melon Tea Latte and Tie Guan Yin Tea Latte, both are fantastic too! I highly recommend this place! read more

Got the boba milk tea with 50% sugar and cheese foam, and it didnt taste like reduced sugar at all! The boba itself is nice and soft. The staff are hard at work making drinks being placed on DoorDash, in store, and some other apps. Remember to be patient! read more

Ordering is contactless since you order with a touchpad screen. If you have questions, one of the staff can answer them for you. It was fairly easy to use the touchpad and not overwhelming since their menu is a fair size. You can choose less ice/no ice, sweetness level, and toppings for your drink. Once you finish you wait outside for your drink. I saw from other yelpers you can wait up to 30 min for your drink but it was practically empty when I went. It took them about 7 min to finish my drinks. I got the winter melon lemon tea for myself and tie guan yin with QQ noods, 30% sugar, and less ice for my friend. I forgot to adjust the sugar level in my winter melon tea since I don't like overly sweet drinks. At first when I tasted it the sugar level was alright, but after I let it sit for a couple of hours in my car it became too sweet for me, hah. Taste-wise it was decent, nothing special though. I feel like their menu is pretty ordinary, but I wouldn't mind coming back in the future. read more

Still our favorite BBT Go To. Real tea flavor, consistent and good quality boba. The place is extremely busy, so expect a wait. Store is generally clean but seating is sparse. Much more of an outlet for pick up. Not a sit down cafe at all. Prices are reasonable relative to other BBT. But much better value as the drinks are good. The non-caffeinated options are rather limited. Service is good, they are always busy so hard to pay much more attention then they can spare. read more

TP Tea never disappoints! This is one of my favorite boba places to go to. I got the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with 50% sweetness/less ice with boba. The tea was very fragrant and it was the perfect amount of milk to balance out the tea. However, their milk/tea ratio can be inconsistent sometimes so it could get too milky. Boba has good texture and has enough chewiness (4/5) If you like fruit teas, I'd highly recommend the Passion Fruit Green Tea! I love the tarty taste of the passion fruit and it's very unique compared to other places. Con: During peak hours, the lines could get really long since there are only two kiosks for self ordering. I once had to wait in line for 40 minutes! I learned my lesson so I usually order ahead on the app and just pick it up. read more

How have I not yet reviewed what has quickly become my favorite place for milk tea in the Bay Area? Discovering this place has been the best part of my boyfriend moving down the street...besides being able to see him more frequently of course (BUT THE TEA. OMG.) Rating Breakdown: 2/2 Stars for Taste -- When I tried the plain milk tea for the first time, I was blown away. Such a simple but strong tea taste with just the right amount of sweetness. Both creamy and refreshing. Every subsequent time I came, I continued to order the milk tea because I was so afraid that anything else might disappoint me. Finally had the chance to venture out and try the Tieguanyin milk tea -- Oh my GAWD. Dare I say, it's even BETTER. I would describe it as more akin to a roasted oolong flavor. Amazing. Their boba is more hit or miss in terms of texture so I've been giving it a pass. 1/1 Star for Value -- It's around $5 for a plain milk tea without toppings but you get a much higher quality drink than most other places. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- I would recommend calling in your order ahead of time so you can skip the line. Keep an eye out though because they don't call out the numbers very loud when they place your drink in the queue. Bonus star because I will eventually try my way through the rest of the menu...when I pry myself away from my new obsession with their Tieguanyin milk tea. read more

High quality milk teas along with an extensive menu! I've been to the other location and it was my first time stepping in this one. This used to be Monster Boba (if any of you are curious). I got the strawberry milk tea with boba and it's rare that I get it because other spots make it taste very artificial! TP tea does it right by having strawberry bits blended with ice. The texture of the boba was perfect! More on the chewy side (which I love). If you're still contemplating, go for the Tie Guan Yin teas. They are very good. I'll be back! read more

Everything is organized with technology. You can order your drinks at the kiosk and there's a different digital display board that tells what your order number is and how long the wait is. I ordered two drinks one strawberry milk tea with fruit gels and lemon premium green tea. I loved their service and delivery time. The ambience is hustling and bustling with a young crowd. read more

Definitely one of the top boba spots in the bay! My favorite is the honey lemon tea with aloe which gives you a real punch of lemon goodness. It's the perfect sourness that gives you a great jolt of energy and with the sweet aloe, it's probably one of my favorite drinks of all time! It's a must try if you haven't had anything like it. read more

I was a newbie using this app Yamimeal. Keep refreshing your main order page until the estimated pickup time (marked in orange) pops up. Do not show up until it pops up. This is the accurate pickup time. The estimated pick up time that shows up before you check out and pay is not accurate. It said it would be ready in 30 minutes. It wasn't done until an hour and half later. So yea basically just order online and don't show up till you need to. Pickup after ordering from app: pickup from side door. Go inside the lobby when the app shows it is ready. I ordered the top seller drink 'TieGuanYin Tea Latte with pearl' and regular milk tea with pearl. I thought it was just okay. My tea latte tasted more like flavored water. Not worth the wait. The boba was soft and a little Too miniature for my liking. It didn't have favor in there. Maybe I'll try it again for another drink. Any recommendations? read more
