I'm so happy that TP Tea has expanded so quickly over the last few years. Used to just be a long expected wait at Cupertino off Blaney, but this Sunnyvale one is a super convenient location to me with not too much foot traffic. It makes for a great post-grocery treat after Mega Mart down the street or a post-dinner dessert after Seapot or 10 Butchers. I recommend 50% sweet here for all drinks if not 25% as it leans a tad sweeter than Cupertino in my past 5 or so visits. The Strawberry Milk Tea's been my favorite but the Tie Guan Yin & other TGY variants have been my go-to order for the last year. Delicious, perfect quantity, and great toppings to drink ratio. Never had a bad TP Tea experience here and I haven't had to wait longer than five minutes for my drink at any given time. read more

After having dinner with coworkers, we stopped into TP Tea. They are in the same strip mall as 10 Butchers, Meriwest Bank, Ramen Kurasei, etc. The parking can be challenging during peak hours in this medium sized lot. Inside is cozy with a couple of tables. Two kiosks machines to order from and one unisex restroom. The service was friendly and efficient. Boba Milk Tea: Classic Milk Tea with BOBA. Boba included! (4/5) Yuzu Emerald Fruit Tea: Refreshing blend of seasonal Japanese yuzu with green tea (Seasonal Drink, 4/5). Added QQ Noodles +$.85. Support your local business. read more

We don't often come to this location but decided to get it from here since we are in the area. We rlly waited a long time for the drinks. At least 20 mins for 2 drinks. At this point they should've closed the online ordering system to avoid so many ppl waiting. And the sun is quite killing the vibe. A lot of ppl got impatient since there are so many big orders from mobile ordering. Hopefully they can improve on how to handle the crowds. read more

Came here during lunch after having ramen next door. It was craving for milk tea. I didn't know that they had this limited time flavor when I went on Snackpass app to order. I ordered their limited time, Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea. With 80% sweetness and it's perfect with the brown sugar drip. I would say the sweet spot is 80%, I wouldn't go lower or higher on the sugar level. The Sum seating area if you wanted to hang out here, also some sitting outside. Parking is easy to find, there's a lot of parking during a weekday doing lunch. The service is very fast. I think they were busy with online order pick ups, because the Snackpass said it was going to take 20 minutes, but it actually took like five minutes. I really like that there is a TP nearby now and they expanded, I usually go to the one in Cupertino, which is a little further away from me. So this is very convenient. read more

TP Tea - Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Tea (Limited) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

TPTea is my favorite boba place in Sunnyvale because their tea to milk ratio is just perfect and their boba is so chewy. They also give you pretty substantial amount of boba! I can order boba ahead of time on snackpass so it was super fast, waiting for me when I came to pick up the boba. There are lots of parking and seating options in sunnyvale location. I would highly recommend their boba milk tea. read more

Date: Friday, March 28th, 2025 Time: around 7:45pm Party of: 2 What: Dine In Boba Signature Black Tea ($4.95) *0% Sugar *Less Ice *Boba ($0.65) *Grass Jelly ($0.65) After dinner, a girlfriend and i decided to stop by for a boba tea. We had just finished up dinner at 10 Butchers so just walked over. It was moderately busy for a boba tea shop at the time, but we managed to find a table for two in the corner. I wanted a matcha with out milk, but apparently they don't do that here. I asked if it was because their matcha was premixed and at first they said yes, so completely understandable. But then they changed their minds and said no, it wasn't premixed, they just can't do it. Odd answer as why can't you just not add milk? It's like asking for a shot of espresso without milk and having a coffee shop tell you they can't do that. Overall just an odd thing, but I ended up a black tea instead. The tea was fine. The grass jelly was silky and the boba was soft with a nice chew. The atmosphere is typical to that of a tea shop. You can definitely have a convo while chilling here. I'm not sure when they close, but my gf and I were catching up so we spent a good 2 hours here. They were refusing orders towards the end. Probably cuz they were already closed and just letting people stay while they put things away? Not a bad tea spot if in the area. Tho I do wish I could have gotten that matcha without milk if it wasn't premixed. Oh well. REVIEW #3747 read more

TP Tea - Signature Black Tea ($4.95) *0% Sugar *Less Ice *Boba ($0.65) *Grass Jelly ($0.65) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

The experience is just okay. Parking is easy since they share a lot with other shops in the plaza. Self-order was easy and not much of a line. There is limited seating and feels more like a pick-up/to-go place rather than a place to sit and hang out. I got the brown sugar milk tea with 30% sugar and it was still super sweet, which is kind of expected for this type of drink but a girl can hope lol the boba was decent, but nothing mind blowing. I would rather try new places than return again read more

Very very sweet even with 50%! I should've done 0. I tried the tie guan yin tea with pudding and my husband got the Thai tornado. Both are good just really sweet. Drinks came out quick and we did the self service order on their machine. Good price for the amount/portion. Easy to park in the plaza. read more

Located in on el Camino Parking is easy to find There are 3 kiosks to order from. Around 3 tables inside and a couple of tables outside. Place was practically empty when I went on a Monday evening Ordered the TYN milk tea. It is customizable ice and sugar level. I ordered less ice with 30% sugar. Wish they had a stevia option. I added boba to mine. The boba is smaller than those at other places but nice soft and chewy. It was much more enjoyable Also ordered the limited time orange milk tea. The sweetness and ice level isn't customizable on this one read more

I've gotten the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with QQ Noodles twice, and it has been delicious both times. I like that the topping is chewy but not extremely so, like how boba can be if it's made wrong. Sometimes the line is long, but you can order ahead on Snackpass (but they are changing to.. I think Toast around February 2026). read more

Happy anniversary to my favorite shop for milk tea in the Bay Area! They were holding a BOGO events and tote bags for the first 100 customer this weekend, and I went with my friend to celebrate :) The wait was a little long with the event, but the workers were so thoughtful to pass out small cold cups of their tea offerings while we waited in the sun. Tie Guan Yin cream cheese foam - wow the cream cheese foam is so delicious! It's thick and super cheesy/creamy. The tea comes through as you sip the foam top so you get a taste of both at the same time while you drink. It's the perfect consistency! Strawberry Matcha Latte - I didn't know that their matcha is also solid here, but this drink was also very good! I like to drink 15% sweetness here usually, but I opted for 0% because the strawberry puree is already sweetened, and I thought it was the perfect level of sweetness for me. My friend ordered the other two drinks and was told they were also solid! Hopeful for more years to come with TP Tea, thank you for always serving the best milk tea in the area! read more

In a plaza so there's plenty of parking. Ended up waiting 20 minutes for a drink and 2 snacks even when the store was almost empty. (There is a note that bubble waffles take 10 minutes). It was warm in the store so we opted to sit in their outside seating. Enjoyed the hot taro drink, would order again. I opted for 80% sweetness but it seemed pretty sweet so I would lower down to maybe 50% sweetness. I like that you can taste real taro. Popcorn chicken had delicious flavor but was not as crispy as I would like. Original bubble waffle was great and had a slight maple syrup flavor. read more

They didn't have all of the drinks that I usually find at TP tea, but if you have a craving for their TGY milk tea, it hits the spot. Even at 80% sweet, which is what I usually get, it was too sweet for me, so that was a bummer. Their coffee and tea latte was good though! Easy to order via a kiosk, drinks come fast, and parking is easy to find in their parking lot. read more

TP Tea - Coffee Tea Latte Large, 鮮奶咖啡拿鐵 (大杯) Tie guan yin milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I swear there's something about south bay TP Teas that do it better than east bay locations??? Am I insane? Or maybe franchise owners are taking creative liberties at each location LOL. Decently impressed with this one! Super typical kiosk setup-- order and wait on the side. Hardly any seating. Standard black and white and wood minimalist interior. TGY FAMILY MILK TEA (80% sugar, no ice): The tea is good, and so are the toppings, but something about the coffee jelly and TGY tea together makes a strange smoky flavor that is a bit jarring. Still a good drink, just interesting. I'm a huge fan of TGY tea so wish there was more of that natural tea flavor. I will say that the small coffee jelly chunks are waaaay preferred over the large blobs some other boba shops serve that are harder to drink through the straw. I definitely recommend reducing the sugar since it's already pretty sweet by default! read more

Came on a weekend around 7:30PM, got their tie guan yin fresh milk with grass jelly, no ice, no sugar. Tea flavor is super strong, grass jelly is really smooth. I also tried the taro milk with boba, and it was delicious. Taro paste is real taro, and boba is perfectly chewy and awesome. One of my favorite chains in the Bay Area for sure, have zero complaints. Place was clean but small, still has some spots to sit. It was busy pretty much the entire time we were there, and we stayed until after closing and the staff didn't kick us out until they had to clean the area we were in. Super nice of them, thank you! read more

I've been telling myself I'd go to this TP Tea location since it opened, and I finally did recently. We got the Thai tea tornado and the pineapple tea. Both were pretty good! I always like Thai tea, and drinks with the brulee swirl on the sides, and this one was no exception. The pineapple tea was also very refreshing and would be great for a hot summer day. I'd be open to coming back and trying this place again! read more

TP Tea does a very good milk tea. There was no wait when I came on a Monday afternoon. Even on a much busier Saturday night, I only waited a little over five minutes for my drink after I ordered. Taiwan Classic Milk Tea ($6.95, boba, QQ noodle, grass jelly already included) - This is a standard milk tea, maybe just a bit sweeter than average and comes pre-loaded with three topping favorites. QQ noodle is a clear, glass jelly noodle that is very chewy but easy to chew. Boba is more dense, slightly harder and chewier. Grass jelly is a light, slippery herbal jelly that is more subtle than bold and supposedly has antioxidant benefits. If you like all the toppings, then this drink is a steal because it's basically $1 more to get three toppings over the typical milk tea. The tea has a bold black tea flavor with a good balance of cream and sweetness. Tie Guan Ying Milk Tea ($5.95) - I haven't seen tie guan ying (it's a specific type of tea leaf) milk tea at many tea spots so I had to give this a try. It has a noticeable tie guan ying tea flavor mixed perfectly with cream and sugar. I liked this one too. I would recommend both of these milk teas equally, really it just depends on if you are craving tie guan ying flavor, then get that. If that difference doesn't matter so much to you and you just want any milk tea with lots of chew toppings, get the Taiwan Classic. As always, you can add various toppings a la carte to any drink. My favorite topping was the QQ noodle, as that is special to TP Tea. I get that full chew without my jaw having to work as hard as with standard boba. This location has a few seats, maybe about 10. Most people just drink their tea outside if they are with a group but inside, the seats arrangements are most accommodating if you just have two or three people. read more

TP Tea is an offshoot of Chun Shui Tang in Taiwan (the chain that stakes the claim as the inventor of bubble tea) and so naturally I had high expectations. Their menu is pretty extensive so I chose a pretty basic option -- tieguanyin fresh milk with boba. 30% sugar was more like 50% in other places, but they do offer 15%. I think this is probably one of the more satisfactory places for boba in the Bay Area, although I prefer the boba to be less soft. The tea taste was sufficiently strong even with the milk. read more

If you were to ask me what my favorite boba place is when I was in Texas/the Midwest, I would have 100% said TP Tea. TP Tea in the States tastes exactly the same as the locations in Taiwan, portraying the upkeep of their standards. However, in the Bay Area, I could not tell you where my favorite boba place is due to the number of stores and the varied uniqueness plus deliciousness--basically so much competition. I ORDERED: 1) tie guan yin oolong milk tea with boba, pudding, coffee jelly, $6.95 - tie guan yin is a tea so I have no idea why there's an "oolong" in the name and not in the other TGY options (but I was tempted to order this because I have yet to see this combo at other TP Tea locations) - I really dislike how they use coffee creamer powder but I guess that's the standard and what makes it extra creamy - boba always "qq" - lack of pudding! - coffee jelly tasted very strange (never had it before at TP Tea)... it did not taste like coffee at all, was super hard, and felt as if it was the entirety of the cup (as if no one orders this topping and they were trying to get rid of it...)... highly would NOT recommend AMBIENCE: - no sitting as they are under construction - looks like every other TP Tea locations - very tight knit interior aka very small SERVICE: - nonexistent - self service kiosks LOCATION and PARKING: - in a plaza with other eateries - lots of parking available (tight spaces) even when I went around 12pm aka lunch rush I love how TP Tea continues to pop up around the Bay, especially upholding their standards. I sincerely have not and hope not to come across a bad batch of boba at TP Tea. At TP Tea... please try at least ONCE their noodles topping (that's what they are known for!), tie guan yin, and if you're in the mood for something fruity... their strawberry milk tea. read more

First time trying this location. To-go order: 1 classic milk tea (the option with no extras, e.g. boba) 15% sugar and less ice, 1 popcorn chicken. The classic milk tea with only 15% sugar still has a decent level of sweetness. I prefer more of a tea flavor (and am paying attention these days) and more of a cream flavor for the milk. (I will have to see which store or franchise is #1 for me on that score.) I ordered mild for the pocorn chicken and it was mild in taste, not too salty and the fried coating didn't have much flaavor which was noticeable after having samples popcorn chicken elsewhere. The chicken meat was tender and still juicy, and it wasn't overcooked. No strong frying oil flavor either. It's not what I am used to but based on the lack of negatives I would have to say it's one of the better ones in my experience. I will have to increase the spice level and see how that affects the overall taste. Service was fine; the workers were busy when I entered so no greeting but hopefully that is because they were doing something vital. Interior is nice and clean; a couple of tables inside and a couple outside. No restroom available for customers. Not the best location in so far as there is little going in in that strip mall but if you are looking for a rather quiet place to chat this should be a good place in the afternoon. read more

We stopped by once in a while for a mid-day pick-me-up! We stopped by for the IG BOGO deal when they were promoting Orange Milk Tea and Orange Passion Fruit Tea with Crystal Boba from March 31- April 3, 2025. For the deal, you have to get the same drink with the same specifications (sweetness and ice level). We got two of the orange milk tea, but it's more like an orange milk tea smoothie. It tasted good if you like orange-flavored drinks. The tea flavor goes well with the orange! read more

I usually go to the Cupertino location to get their popcorn chicken which I love! But I decided to try their original and corn egg waffle and it was the worst egg waffle I've ever had. Could not finish one and the corn one was undercooked and flavorless. If you're looking for a better egg waffle, I like hui Lai Shan's. Also, the 2 workers in the front looked overwhelmed and miserable lol. read more

I've been meaning to try TP Tea for a while since I've heard that they're a popular chain, but never got the opportunity to...until now! I was excited to hear that this location was opening up, so I made sure to visit to give them a try. My go-to drink is the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea. The tea flavor is great and I enjoy their boba as well. I go with 70% sweetness and it's the right amount for me. If you're looking for a boba spot, TP Tea is a great option to choose. read more

Good yes, but super slow for snacks. You will have to wait 30mins for food. And it's very hot inside the shop.

This is the most unsanitary and possibly most dangerous place I have ordered at. I ordered a Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea Latte and Passion Fruit Green Tea. All four drinks had soap in it. When my family drank, all our mouths became bubbly and sudsy. I even brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth multiple times, but my mouth is still bubbly. The hygiene and cleanliness is absolutely awful. I have called them multiple times and haven't heard back from them once. This is a good place to avoid. read more

Solid mango tea and black tea cheese foam. Nice and clean place as well. Will definitely try their seasonal stuff another time.

Huge fan of TP Tea...and a bigger fan of this location rather than Cupertino. Only Kiosk ordering. They have 3 available to order. Some more spotty than others. You can also order via Snackpass app, which is probably the most efficient (no extra surcharge ordering on the app). The kiosk has a default tip percentage which is a bit wild. I order the passion fruit green tea with boba $6.60. Strong tea flavor and nice tart flavor. Boba is usually cooked well. Unfortunately, the boba is smaller than normal boba sizes. Wait times can definitely vary. I've waited as long as 45 min to an hour on Superbowl afternoon. If you know your order already, definitely recommend just using Snackpass app. Parking can be tough during peak hours with 10 Butchers being in the same plaza. Solid spot! Will definitely be back. read more

TP Tea always hits. Love their Lemon Black Tea! I always order through SnackPass to get points + to order ahead of time. The place is pretty small but there's still some tables and chairs inside and outside of the shop. They're fairly quick with making drinks! My drinks always taste quality~ read more

I wanted to love this place since it is such a reputable brand. The tea is decent. It is self machine order and automatically charged a 20% gratuity to the order, really? read more

Boba Milk Tea Judgment: A tea is smooth and made smoother by the light but confident cream hits the right level of sweetness and achieves spot on balance between the main components pog pearls (squishier and smaller in higher quantities) not even close to being filled to the top but also kinda expected on a BOGO day bout a 35 min total wait/turnaround, but typically there's some level of wait/turnaround time even without BOGO and they always work pretty fast a lil bit of lenience is afforded for specifically BOGO days but tbh you can view BOGO days as a limit test, which measures the skill/consistency of the workers, efficiency of the whole process that translates to total wait time, and management training/scheduling appropriate staff to prep for these days a place that handles itself well during BOGO, especially in terms of consistency, is a place that deserves respect $5.95 1/11/25 read more

I've had this too many times over the past year, and for good reason. I've had the milk tea, fruit tea, and smoothies. These guys have not missed once, I've loved everything I've gotten. The Tie Guan Yin milk tea with cheese foam added is genuinely my favorite tea ever. I've tried at least 10 tea spots in the area, and I keep coming back here. If you add extra instructions they actually listen, they definitely care about the quality of their tea, even when they're busy. My favorite part aside from the taste is the consistency, I know I'll always get an amazing tasting drink whenever I come, I haven't had a bad batch yet. 10/10 would come here as long as I live. read more

My current favorite boba location. I was originally put off by the name, but discovered this is a legit chain from Taiwan, which gave it enough cred that I thought i'd give it a shot. luckily i did! the tea has a nice strong tea flavor, which is my foremost requisite for boba. I almost always get the golden osmanthus, which despite the name, does not have any osmanthus (it gets its name from the oolong having a fragrance reminiscent of osmanthus blossoms). honestly, if you had told me that this was oolong with osmanthus flowers (another kind of tea), i might believe you, the fragrance is that similar. I get the golden osmanthus with ai-yu jelly, which is a taiwanese staple in such drinks, and the tea and ai-yu pair very harmoniously, especially with a hint of lemon. can't wait for my next cup! read more

My Treasure Taro Milk Tea with pudding was great! The price was a little steep at about $7.50, but you can expect that kind of price at most boba shops. The store was small but clean and nice.

I'd definitely come back! read more

FINALLYYY another TP Tea is in the Bay Area! This location has three ordering kiosks and a couple tables. It's a very small cafe, so don't expect too much seating when it's busy. My go-to is always the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with boba. You can't go wrong! Fragrant tea and the perfect milkiness. Other menu items I typically order: Strawberry Milk Tea, Boba Milk Tea, the Mango Ice Tea. I need to try their salted cheese cream foam next time! read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

A new boba joint in my neighborhood! Had to give it a try! Glad to see this plaza having more interesting stores opening! The store is clean and bright, not a lot of seating but I expect most people to just grab their drinks and go. There are clerks behind the counter, but they didn't make eye contact with me nor greeted me, so I just ordered from one of the 3 kiosks. I ordered my usual, wintermelon with tie guan yin oolong tea, less ice and add boba. I only realized after I took a sip that there was no option for sugar level, which is not unusual for the wintermelon flavor. I checked back at the kiosk, other flavors do have a sugar adjustment as expected. I went slightly before noon on a Saturday, didn't have to wait to use the kiosk and the drink came out in ~12 minutes which is respectable. Flavor was on point, and their bobas are smaller than I'm used to, but it's not a bad thing. Overall a pleasant experience, will come back again! Chick n tea now has serious competition right in the same plaza! read more
