This is my go to place for cheap good tasting boba! There are lots of boba places in the bay area. But, if you need to get your boba fix really quick and cheap. There's no place better than Tpumps. Specially on Tuesday's, you get a free upgrade to their humongous Pumbo size. The honey boba is always fresh and soft. They have tons of flavored teas and exotic flavors too. The staff are always friendly and service is quick. The place sometimes gets messy because of the high volume of people coming in. The lines do move pretty quickly. Next time you're in Burlingame and want to satisfy your boba craving, give Tpumps a try. They also have a location on Irving Street in SF. read more

The drink was pretty good and my drink came out in like a minute which I was really happy about. Definitely recommend checking out if you like good drinks and quick service. Try it out if you like. :) read more

Strolled in here on a Thursday evening around 7pm. Parking was a little tricky, free street parking after 6pm. I had just eaten at Barrelhouse and wanted something sweet. Boba was the perfect dessert! They had a self service sample - mango lavender lychee green tea! It was very good so I got a something similar - swapped out the mango for passion fruit and it came with honey boba! Asked for light ice, light sweetness. It still had too much ice but other than that, it was very good! The honey boba was perfectly fresh with the right bouncy chew! I could have easily hung out inside to w you my drunk. It's clean and bright inside. The mounted fan was on full blast. I was interested in walking around and taking in the sights. Nearly every retail store were closed - Barnes & Noble was open. Just walked to the car and drove home. Tpumps was exactly what I wanted. Will go back! read more

Parking here is a pain -- Burlingame isn't exactly known for being easy to park in. But once you finally get your drink, it hits you... yeah, this was worth it. I got the iced Tpumps-sized strawberry mango lychee black milk tea, regular sweet, with boba -- easily a 5/5. Brought me back to high school days when I used to have Tpumps all the time. Kinda nostalgic, and still just as good as I remember. My boyfriend ordered the green apple lychee green tea, and he said it was a 4/5 -- refreshing, but mine definitely won this round. Only downside was the sticky floors -- definitely could use a quick mop here and there. But aside from that, it's a solid spot. 5/5 from me. read more

TPumps is solid. Good prices, lots of flavor options, and the boba itself is actually really good. Nice vegan choices too. Ambiance is whatever--nothing special, just grab your drink and go. Service is quick but not super friendly. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done if you're nearby and want boba. read more

i wonder if the staff that makes the drinks in the fridge taste the drinks before they put them out to sell! the service could be better if customers made a line for others to go and checkout what they have in the fridge ambiance is a walk in boba place with no seats btw i got a kiwi raspberry PA (?) yesterday and from the photo, i didnt drink much today! why? bc its like drinking diabetes! holy moly its soooooo sweet your teeth will fall out swallowing what wouldve been a refreshing drink turned into your heart just palpitating much faster for how sweet this was! i think i will stick to getting drinks at san mateo and sunnyvale where the drinks are a little more consistent will definitely have to add a bottle of water to this one! read more

I love T Pumps. Every time I go I'm met with such kind people, quick service, and great quality drinks. There's this one barista, I think her name was Hali and she remembers my name and has such a good work ethic. I got the Peach, Raspberry, blackberry green tea, and she literally helped me come up with the right flavors to use. The ambience made by the staff, Tv, and music is just amazing. 5 stars!! read more

Tpumps - Burlingame - lychee green Tpumps (Iced 24 Oz) - Flavor Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

First off the drinks are quite delicious and somewhat affordable, but in my opinion they do not care about special requests and accommodations. Whenever I am at this specific Tpumps Shop they rarely give me less ice when i ask for it. I even compare my drink to my brothers' who also gets less ice and he gets less than me. Although, I may be acting dramatic about this situation this happens every time I go to this specific Tpumps. I was trying to save my drink for my family dinner later and asked for barely any ice, so that the drink would not become watery, but guess what! My drink was half filled with ice. I even tipped 15% to guarantee less ice. To make the situation less dramatic on my side my brother and I were the only ones at the shop, besides the 2 workers. I wrote this review, so that when people ask for certain requests they get it. After all we are the ones paying them! read more

I had so many great things over the years about Trumps and finally had a chance to try this location. It's great being able to have a blend of custom flavors for your drink. The serving was a sizeable portion for larger order and really nice to have on a nice to have on a warm day. Service: The wait wasn't too long at all Ambiance: the place is small, wish there were seats and it was bigger. read more

Bay Area locals KNOW about Tpump Tuesdays. Every Tuesday after school, my parents would take my friends and I to the OG San Mateo one or this one for a pumbo drink. Lines would be out the door but we all remember how worth it it was. The vibes inside would always be lit, especially before a game or on the weekends. Nowadays it's mainly the teens who post up here now or adults who haven't outgrown torani syrup boba quite yet (no judgement haha.)

Came here right before closing and it was empty. I got a strawberry mango guava drink with black tea which was really tasty as I added milk to it. It was refreshing and paired well with my tacos! My boyfriend got the blackberry rose vanilla with black milk tea and it had a subtle sweetness and was delicious. However, the service wasn't great as the worker definitely didn't want to be there and she was a bit rude to us by rushing us to choose a drink. Overall, I do love coming here but I wasn't impressed with the service which is why I gave it 4 stars. read more

Can never go wrong with tpumps! This location is located near downtown and is a little on the smaller side. Staff have always been friendly and drinks were made quickly. I love that you can customize your drink to your liking with different flavors or choose from their creations. One of my favorite boba spots read more

This place is amazing. The boba is so nice and soft and delicious. The service is great because they have a tasting spot for free. The ambience is great. read more

Not bad. We usually go to the TPumps in sf but they always run out of the $2.50 drinks. This location always seems to be adequately stocked and their drinks are not watered down like the one in sf. Parking can be quite difficult since the street parking is limited and it's always busy here read more

Great place to grab a refreshing boba/tea drink. They offer many combinations of flavors and options to satisfy your needs. Fast friendly service and prices are reasonable. This location is more of an order and go since the interior is small. Stop by and give them a try. read more

Freshest tastiest best for your buck Boba! Made me go back to drinking these sugar loaded drinks again. I'm growing hooves

I love boba and I used to come to Tpumps all of the time when I was a kid. I love that you can essentially create any drink that you want to and for a great price. My drink was their largest size and was only $6, can't beat that! The staff is friendly and they've introduced some ready made drinks in the little grab and go fridge for only $2.50, again, an amazing price point in my opinion. I got my drink extra sweet, and when they mean sweet, they mean it so beware! 10/10 highly recommend if you've never been here before! Only downside--I wish they had more locations like maybe in Serramonte or San Bruno or Daly City or Stonestown. Other than that, you should definitely give it a try! read more

Best boba drinks!! I love how they have free samples of drinks! Always stopping at Tpumps!!

Sensational. I lost my Tpumps virginity. After checking out all of the cool restaraunts that the area has to offer, we stopped by really quick after dinner. I was kinda overwhelmed since there are so many variations & customizable options to choose from. Luckily, I had my cousin guide me on what's she's ordered in the past. I always choose lavender at a boba shop when it's offered so I asked the cashier what goes well with it & she suggest rose. I was so impressed! It was the perfect soft floral tea with milk, sugar and boba. I will come again to try new things. The line was getting long but the drinks came out quick. The menu is huge and behind the counter. Yum!! I'm glad I finally got to see what the hype is all about. read more

Whenever Tpumps is brought up around me, I always hear good things about it. Since we were in the area, my boyfriend and I stopped by to grab a drink. The first thing we noticed when we arrived was their plexiglass order and pick-up window at the entrance. There was hand sanitizer and a Square credit card reader as well as COVID safety signage posted. We both haven't been here in years so it took a minute to look through all of the variety of flavors they offer along with their daily specials and seasonal flavors. We ended up creating a 3-flavor drink - passionfruit, raspberry, and pineapple. All delicious flavors with green tea, very sweet, and no toppings. The other drink we got was mango, peach, passion, green tea, 50% sweet, and no toppings. Out of the two, I liked the drink we created more :) Quick service! Things to Note: - $2 Daily specials are available now (as of 12/2020), no toppings are included, served as is - Seasonal flavors are available during the holidays - Undecided? Check out the "Fan Favorites" menu for some good suggestions. - 2 sizes available (Tpumps regular or large Pumpbo) - Choose between a hot or cold drink - Choose between green or black tea - Staff wear masks and ask customers to do the same for service - Parking is metered on the street unless it's after 6pm or you park a couple blocks out for free parking read more

I ordered guava flavor and it didn't taste like guava at all. It just tasted like sugar.

Tpumps is located in Burlingame. I was in Burlingame, and I was thirsty. Since I was there early, only one place happened to be open, and this was the place. The staff were friendly and patient as I looked over the menu. I decided on a Peach Rose Green Tea. My drink was soon ready. It quenched my thirst, and it cooled me down on an unusually hot day. Thank you Tpumps! read more

The staff was super sweet here. My first time here and it happened to be on a Tuesday where you get a size upgrade for free. Also what is really cool is that you can mix all the flavors for free! I also did not know ow that boba was free! I'm used to paying $8 for a regular size drink with boba and here it was $5 for the jumbo with boba. The tea wasn't too sweet and made for a great presentation being so big! I gifted 5 to my children's teachers and they all loved their drinks! I picked blueberry, lychee, guava, strawberry and tangerine. All of them had the green tea base as that is what the staff recommended to have the most of the flavored added. read more

Quick, good prices, great quality! I always love going here when I am in the area and always treat a friend here too because everyone loves Tpumps... read more

Same quality taste from when they first opened. Tpumps is one of the original boba spots in the Bay. Aside from quicklys and tapex. I normally don't order anything too crazy because all the flavors will get mixed up. (The menu has really evolved since they first opened in San Mateo). Lately my go to drink has been peach mango lychee green milk tea with boba. Those are flavors you can never get tired of. You can adjust the sweetness and the ice level. If your drink isn't to your liking you can always ask them to adjust it. The staff is always sweet and friendly. Lately they haven't been doing the rewards. I'm not sure if they don't do that anymore or that they just halted it because of the shelter in place. They also have Apple Pay which is a big plus. I'll never stop coming to this place, even if the boba craze dies down in the future! read more

My hot green tea with honey boba (which I have never tried) with the added flavors was not very satisfying. First of all, the boba itself was flabby, not chewy, which frustrated me. Secondly, drinking tea through a straw was a complete challenge, because the boba jammed and when I first checked what was wrong, it turned out that some of the liquid was stuck there as well, which spilled out on me. Nevertheless, on the plus side I can mention the price, the late working time and the good service. read more

This is my new fav boba boba chain! I have been coming here regularly 1-2x per month while I wait out my dog's physical therapy appts so I have plenty of experiences to go off of here. The staff is always helpful and quick. I love all the options for flavors and toppings + the price seems reasonable for what you get. They offer samples of a popular flavor to try and pro tip - there is always a good deal on the flavors of the month (check out the sign by the register). If you don't need to customize orders and want a cheaper option, there are pre-made drinks without toppings in the mini fridge. The onlyyyy thing that sucks here is parking. It is meter only and usually always busy during normal business hours. And don't try what I did by not paying the meter! I thought a quick less than 10 min stop to walk there, order boba and come right back would be fine but I got a ticket so just heads up! Walk or pay or you may get lucky. :) read more

Pumpbo honey mango black milk tea, normal sweet, with boba, light ice. That's my go-to order every time and it has been for years. I've memorized it like a song lyric even though I don't live near one anymore and rarely come back home to get it. However, when I do come home, it's a must-go. I reviewed the San Mateo location a long time ago but since I haven't reviewed their new location I might as well. There isn't much different if you've already been to Tpumps before. If you haven't, the rundown is that they will usually have some samples at the front of the line for you to try. Sometimes the workers will even bring some around and have you try new flavor combinations out. There are lots of flavors that you can mix and you can mix as many as you want (I think) but I've only ever seen people mix up to three flavors. You can choose your sweetness level, toppings, and amount of ice. Don't forget to input your phone number to get a free drink after ordering 10! Some people don't like Tpumps because it doesn't have the tea flavors that other boba places have and that it's really sweet. Yeah those may be true but I really don't care. This place is more nostalgic for me than anything and when I taste some of my honey mango drink it takes me back to a more simple time. For my family it's a tradition to go to my favorite sushi place ever (located in San Mateo) for dinner and get Tpumps after. That was how life was like when Tpumps was in San Mateo and it still continues even as it moves to Burlingame. Some things never change and this is one I hope never does. read more

Too Sweet!!! I ordered light sweetness, but still too sweet to me. Light sweetness = 120% sweetness. Maybe the boba has sugar which makes it sweeter. Next time will try without boba. If you are looking for fresh flavor milk tea. This place is probably not the right place. All the flavors are delivered from syrups. read more

I wanted another boba drink this week because I was disappointed with the one I had earlier in the week. The regular size was $5 and I had the milk dark tea with honey boba. The other option was green tea. They also have a variety of flavors you can add for additional $1. It was overwhelming as the list was 2 pages. The boba was softer than the hard chewy kind. The shop is more a kiosk where you order at the window take away. read more

Location: I actually really like where this TPUMPS is located; downtown Burlingame. Next to so many restaurants, coffee shops, clothing stores, etc. So while you're roaming around this part of town, grab some TPUMPS before and/or after spending the day walking around! P.S. Pokestop everywhere for all of you Pokémon GO trainers! However, since this TPUMPS is fairly new, it doesn't look like they're quite finished making their spot look appealing. Honestly, their sign looks kinda like ...old... lol I can't explain it without sounding mean. The inside could use some work, too. There are a few tables inside you can hang around by though. Maybe this location is going for an old, rundown look? Anyways, my last two visits I just picked two flavors that sounded like a good match. Matcha, of course, and lavender! For my base, I chose black milk tea and asked for less ice and 50% sugar. It turned it delicious! Gave me very earthy vibes! So if you're into flowery drinks, I recommend trying this combo out! From all of the flavors (syrups probably) they have, you can go wiiild and mix and match! Well, yo to 3 flavors only. And if your drink doesn't come out the way you hoped, just let them know and they will be happy to change up your drink. So the concept of ordering your drink is easily. Pick a size, pick your flavors, pick your tea (green, black, non-caffeinated, + others), add milk if you want (whole, soy, almond), adjust the sweetness, then add toppings (honey boba, taro, etc.). Like other TPUMPS, this location does give out samples of whatever combo they made up for that day, and they have a fridge of $2 drinks. Overall, the vibe of this place is like any other boba spot. Lively with good music. The workers seem to enjoy making the drinks. It's just not a spot where you can sit down and hang out with your homies. Will I be back? If I am ever in the area or otw to/ from SFO, then helllls ya. P.S.S. Go on a Tuesday to celebrate TPUMPS TUESDAY! Get a free upgrade from a size TPUMPS to a size PUMBO! read more
