Tried their new Noir series (black sesame) and it was so good. I got the black sesame cloud at 50% sweetness which was perfect. The drink was so creamy and rich and had perfect black sesame flavor. It was also very iced! A bit expensive at $8 with boba but worth it as a treat. read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

I've been here a couple times since this location opened and it's pretty good. I'm glad there are more quality boba shops opening in Millbrae. The first time I went was during the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival, and the line was long because of the crowds and it was opening weekend. The estimated wait time was incorrect, and there was no space inside so we had to wait outside in the sun. The service was much quicker the second time I went. I ordered the Taiwan Classic milk tea with qq noodles, boba, and grass jelly at 50% sweet with less ice. I liked the tea flavor and the drink to toppings ratio was proportional. There's an option to order via their tablets or directly with the cashier. With a wide variety of drinks and toppings to choose from and the option to adjust sweetness level, you'll surely find a drink that suits your taste! I plan to come back to try other drinks when I'm in the mood for boba. read more

TP Tea - Signage inside - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

One of my favorite boba shops in Millbrae! I love their drink selection, and they also offer a great variety of egg puffs. Service can be quick depending on the day, but on weekends I recommend pre-ordering to avoid the wait. The space is large with plenty of seating, just note that some of the tables and chairs can be a bit wobbly. read more

Excited to see this new location open up in downtown Millbrae! So far I'm loving the consistency between all the stores across the Bay. This store is pretty spacious and the staff was friendly. I stopped by a few minutes after they opened and it was already busy for a random weekend afternoon. I ordered their milk tea with boba and pudding and it was exactly what I wanted. So good! read more

The flavor of the Boba Mango Milk Tea was good. The boba was kinda hard though. It was packed and it took 20 min for my drink. Orders were taken on 2 screens. No interaction with workers because they were all busy making drinks. read more

My all time favorite to get from TP TEA is the Tie Guan Yin milk tea. I usually adjust my sugar level and this time I adjust it to 50%. For some reason, the sweet level tasted like 100%. A few of my friends had the same complained too. A few adjusted it to 30% sweetness and still tasted like 100%. I hope they can fix that problem soon! Overall, I'm happy that they opened up a new spot here in millbrae! Maybe because it's recently opened, so the hours are from 3pm-8pm. I do hope they can open up a bit earlier later on. Inside was super cute and clean! read more

This review is just for the bubble waffles. Not sure why the recipe has changed but the new bubble waffles are not good - even my 5 year old wouldn't finish it. Please switch back to the original recipe! Teas are still good. Though the matcha lacks actual matcha flavor. read more

When I heard this was opening up in Millbrae, I was super excited since this is one city closer to SF. I remember I used to have to go all the way to Cupertino for them when that was their only location, and TP tea was one of my favorites when I went to Taipei. TP Tea in Millbrae is currently in their soft opening phase. This location is bigger than their San Mateo location with some seating, comparable in size to their Cupertino and Berkeley location. The drink menu is the same as other locations with the same toppings, but at this time you can only order with them directly instead of on a Kiosk or online. There was a long line already forming shortly after opening, but they did have 4 people making drinks, so the wait time wasn't long despite the long ordering line. For their first week, their drinks tastes like it's already been perfected since I ordered my usual, which is the Lemon Black Tea with tea jelly & Lemon Jasmine Tea with tea jelly. Will need to come back to test out my other favorites to see if they're comparable to the other locations. read more

TP Tea always hits the spot! TP Tea js the only boba spot that sells qq noodles (tapioca shaped into a noodle format). They are known for their Tie Guan Yin Tea but their other drinks are solid as well. There are two self order kiosks here that makes ordering fast and easy. The staff were very polite and attentive here. Parking here can be tricky here as this TP Tea location is located in a busy area full of other restaurants and shops. read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

My go to drinks for this place is the taro milk. I like the fresh taro and I get it with less ice and no sugar. The sweetness after you mix it is perfect for me already and in general, I'm a 25% sweet kind of person. The price at this place is pretty reasonable and this is my go to boba place in this area. The lychee milk tea and smoothie are also pretty good. The smoothie is a little too sweet but still good. read more

Their Tieguanyin milk tea is fantastic. I'm a regular and get it every time. They're also very efficient at serving drinks, even when there's a line. The staff are always helpful and friendly read more

TP Tea has a wide range of milk teas, with the Tie Guan Yin milk tea probably being the most popular. My wife loves coming here because they're pretty consistent. They recently added egg waffles, which are a nice little snack with your drink. But there were a few times the drink wasn't sealed properly and spilled, so I'd double-check the lid before putting it in your car. read more

The cup is pretty thin and it exploded in my car when I slightly drop it... it was a disaster. Moreover, ordered less ice is still a lot of ice read more

Drinks are consistent every time and the same as you'd expect to get from the SM location. Of the boba places in Millbrae, currently Wanpo and TP Tea are my favorite. TP Tea is great for those who like strong tea flavors -- get TGY! I've tried some of the other drinks and those are good too, but none stand out as much as TGY. There's seating inside and it's relatively spacious. Bathroom could be improved. You can order off 2-3 computers, so ordering is relatively quick. You can also order via the app. I wish they had more non-caffeinated options for kids and later in the day. My only other complaint would be that it takes 20 reward points to finally get a free drink. That's a lot of drinks! read more

New boba spot in Millbrae right on Broadway with lots of seating and perfect if you're just walking through. They open pretty late at 12pm, so it is definitely not a morning spot for hanging out. But good for afternoon boba breaks! I have ordered the following- Strawberry Smoothie - aka Strawberry Milk tea. This is a Strawberry flavored drink and I'm actually not sure if there is any tea in the drink at all. Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea - Less sweet and more tea flavored for those tea purists. Taiwanese Boba with the three toppings always feels like a splurge on sugar and caloric intake but it is soooo good. I get it 50% sugar and the toppings is more than enough sweet. read more

TP Tea is my favorite place for Milk tea currently. Besides some issues with consistency (customer service has been pretty good) this is still my main choice for Milk Tea. This one and san mateo are both good. Place can get busy but it is still decently fast. This is the one I frequent the most. Love the boba and coffee jelly. read more

I usually go to TP tea when I want boba. They do take a while when it's busy, so I recommend ordering online before you get there. My go to is TGY. If you're hungry, you can't go wrong with their popcorn chicken or dynamic fries. It is a small shop, so don't expect to get a seat immediately if you go on the weekends. read more

Dang, I am hooked! Thanks to TP Tea, I am now addicted to Strawberry Milk Tea. They do it better than anyone else. They have strawberry milk and they have the milk tea, the milk tea is my favorite. It's partially blended and has a great flavor. You can taste the tea but it's still sweet. I haven't found another place that makes it this way. That being said, I feel that their other drinks are good but similar what you can get at other boba shops. It can be a bit pricey if you are just getting like a fruity green tea. I also wish their boba wasn't the size that it is. It's inbetween mini and normal which is odd. I like regular sized boba because when made right, it has a great chew but is also soft. With this inbetween size I feel like it's usually too chewy. read more

I used to like it when they just opened. I like the matcha tornado but now they always not have it. Always busy, long wait if not order on phone. Also not sure why they always charge 10 cents for Togo bag even they don't give us bag. I tried order for here and still charging 10 cents. So not sure WHY??? And what is that 10 cents for??? The drinks taste different now too , not strong tea. so not really good as before. read more

TP Tea has always been one of my favorite boba brands whenever I'm craving some milk tea. I definitely waited for a bit of the hype to die down for this Millbrae location because it was packed every time I'd walk or drive by. It's understandable because the tea here has a good tea flavor. I also waited until they started utilizing Snackpass like their other locations do because I don't like ordering at the cashier and if you enjoy that then you are certainly more extroverted than me. Parking is okay, but during prime lunch or dinner hours, it is certainly more of a struggle to find parking even though there is a public parking lot nearby. Especially since this area is packed with lots of restaurants nearby. Inside of the store is really clean and there's seating inside. There's a couple kiosks you can order off of or you can just use the app on your phone. Customer service is friendly overall. Unless you are a super Karen, I think the service is pretty good for a boba shop. In my most recent visit, I ordered the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea ($5.95) with boba which is an extra $0.65. Prices for the toppings aren't unreasonable. Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea has been my go-to for many years and always will be. I love the flavor of this tea here. The boba was also cooked perfectly. Soft and chewy with the right amount of sweetness. TP Tea continues to be a top tier boba shop for me in any of their locations. I will certainly be returning in the near future and by future I mean in a few days because I'm addicted. read more

Another TP tea! Yay! I ordered the jasmine green milk tea with boba. The milk tea was delicious--flowery and creamy. The boba was on the chewier side. The wait time after ordering my drink was a bit longer than I would've liked--13 minutes. But, they executed my drink just the way I wanted it--which is what I care about most. Would come back! read more

Was in the area on a Sunday afternoon and the place was packed. There were 2 kiosk for ordering. The staffs were working hard behind the counter to fulfill the orders. The place is clean, bright and spacious. There were 3-4 tables with chairs so you can sit down and enjoy your drinks. Parking might be a challenge but if you go around the block you will find a space. So happy they are closing to home. I do t have to go San Mateo now. Will definitely come back. read more

WAITING AN HOUR for two drinks! First time here and last!! Literally a waste of time, especially seeing that there were 6 people in the front. The guy that was organizing the drinks needed help but no one helped him. Many people were waiting for over an hour just for drinks!! Next time don't waste time and go somewhere else that has the same flavors this place has. read more

5/5! I love their classic milk tea. I saw someone else ordering the Taiwan Milk Tea since I'm not big into Tieguanyin Oolong Milktea. Sooo good- definitely going back for it. My friends love their TGY oolong milk tea- 50 % sugar. read more

I recently discovered that a new TP Tea location opened in Millbrae, so I had to check it out while I was in the area! We always order ahead on Snackpass since the wait can sometimes be long. Compared to the San Mateo location, which I usually visit, this one wasn't as crowded. Service was quick--my drink was ready in about 7-10 minutes. The shop itself is clean and has a nice ambiance. Unlike the San Mateo location, this one has indoor seating. My go-to drink is the Tieguanyin Latte with QQ noodles. I noticed the QQ noodles here were extra chewy, which I actually enjoyed! read more

Ordered via their kiosk, service was quick. Seemed to be a go to spot, there was a consistent trickle of people while we were there. Our drinks were delicious. read more

I love TP Tea and their drinks. I would like to be very clear that this is in no way a critique on their drinks. TP Tea is still one of my favorite boba places and I will continue to come back to this location despite this experience. I went around 4pm and ordered 5 drinks. After ordering, it took about 40 mins in which they did say our order was ready on the system and called out our number but we still waited 5 mins at the counter and be like "Where are our drinks?" When someone finally did show up, they still forgot one of the drinks and we had to wait another 5 mins. I let the drink sit a little bit before, and a good inch of the drink is missing (pictured). I will say there were 4 workers and I do not understand their system. It seems they have one person putting labels on the cup and giving out drinks, one person putting toppings, but only one person actually making drinks. I have worked in other boba places and this is a pretty unique system. I will also say I often travel with someone allergic to dairy and have to pay for oat milk. At an earlier visit, when it got busy and I was not directly watching them make drinks, they had put regular milk. I had to go back inside and basically had to tell them my friend was allergic and what they gave me was not the oat milk I paid for. I understand it gets busy but I should not also have to tell someone I have an allergy to get something I paid for. If you have allergies, please make sure you watch them make the drink. Overall, great drinks, potentially long wait, and the quality goes down during rush ours. I still like this location more than the San Mateo location. read more

TP Tea - Wintermelon TGY Lemon minus all the foam. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millbrae, California

First time here. They always seem busy. Location is prime so maybe that's why. Drinks are on the expensive side, but I don't mind if it's higher quality tea. The only complaint is they give way too much boba. Almost half the cup is boba. There should be more tea, not that much boba. read more

I believe it just opened. The place has a few seating places and is bright with white/pink marble color scheme. Our order got taken care of quickly and drinks came out also quickly. Items: Four Seasons Osmanthus Iced Tea (half sweet), Fantastic Fruit Tea (half sweet), Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea (half sweet) The fruit tea is on the sour side. So unless you like it sour, I would keep the sugar level standard. I personally like the Four Seasons Osmanthus Iced Tea the best out of what we got. It is light and refreshing. I do prefer stronger tea taste and fragrance, so I do wish that the tea is a bit more bold and fragrant. read more

When my friends told me they were opening a TP Tea in Millbrae, I was ecstatic! This is my favorite boba spot & it's much closer to home than the San Mateo location for me. I also love that the space is much bigger with a few tables & chairs in the seating area. Definitely a great location to grab a quick drink & catch up with friends. I've been here a few times during soft opening & the staff has been incredibly welcoming & friendly. I think one of the them actually recognized me when I came by during the Millbrae Mid-Autumn festival too. Hoping that they join SnackPass soon so that I can order ahead before heading over! I did wait a bit for my drinks the last few times I came but I think the staff are trying to get their system down. For the most part, they seemed like a well-oiled machine but I'm sure they are still trying to get into the swing of things. My go to drink is just the regular milk tea with 30% sugar but the handful of times I've been here the drinks were pretty sweet and didn't feel like it was truly 30% sugar so not sure if something went wrong there. read more

Had lunch with family in Millbrae dt and found there's a NEW Tp tea opened in Millbrae. I used to order their Tieguanyin Latte at the other location but this one was not as good. The tea was bitter and no Tieguanyin taste. My least favorite was their boba. They are tiny and plasticky. In store order only. (Eventho they use Snackpass) not sure why they didn't open online order. Hopefully this is just a one time thing. I needed up dumped 3/4 of the drink. read more

The tea is good, but don't go here unless you are ready to wait at least 30 minutes. They are really disorganized

If you're a fan of milk tea, TP Tea is an excellent choice! It's my go-to spot whenever the craving hits. I usually have to trek to South Bay, so I was thrilled to find a location in Millbrae. I visited on a busy Sunday around noon, and the place was already packed. It took a little while to reach the order kiosk, but given the extensive menu, I totally understand why people might need extra time to decide. Thankfully, the drinks came out quickly, which I really appreciated. I ordered the Taiwanese Classic Milk Tea with a variety of toppings, along with the seasonal Osmanthus drink. I opted for 50% sweetness for both, which turned out to be perfect--not overly sweet, just how I like it. While I loved the Taiwanese Milk Tea and would definitely recommend it, I found the Osmanthus drink a bit bland and underwhelming. Stick with the Classic Milk Tea; it's a must-try! read more

Completely ignored by employee who was wearing earbuds. Walked out of there unhappy and without buying anything. I get it, solo looking employee busy but can't just ignore everyone and only make drinks. read more

Great boba! Love the flavors, lots to choose from. Good vibes and music inside. The only issue is that some of the drinks can't be modified due to the kiosk iPad settings. The wait can be quite long as well and the bathroom needs a deep cleaning. Otherwise this is one of the best boba places I've tried in the Bay Area! read more
