Reviews for TP TEA San Mateo in San Mateo, CA
Update 11/16/2022: machine still broken?! Lol Update 10/17/2022: unable to buy hot drinks right now. The machine to make their... hot drinks is currently broken and as been broke for a week. I really liked their hot Tie Guan Yin over cold. :/ Update 9/22:got the Treasure Taro Milk Tea with 30% sugar. Tasted the taro but not the tea for me. Friend said she tasted thetea. Preference: Tie Guan Yin over the Taro ?? New boba place in San Mateo. Soft opening so staff are still in training? keepthat in mind. We ordered the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea. Noticed once it was made that it was just the Tie Guan Yin Tea ? themanager/trainer noticed the confusion and offered to make the milk tea version without charge so we got to try both the tea andmilk tea version. Both with boba, hot, and 30% sugar. Tea version is very flavorful. Milk version is sweet given the milk butyou can taste the tea which i liked. Both are good since I liked the tea alot. They have 3 versions of the Tie Guan Yin which Ithink where the initial confusion came from. The third version is the latte. I?d recommend the owners put numbers next to eachversion to reduce confusion like A1 vs B1! Overall, good interaction with staff on their first weekend and I will come again totry the others Read more
I was introduced to TP Tea early this year and I was instantly hooked. Call me crazy but whenever I'm down in the South Bay, I... always bring a couple cups back just so it can last me through the week. Now that they opened one closer to me, I can get my fixanytime. It's almost like they knew my cravings were calling. Visited on a Sunday night and there wasn't a long line. Got myusual Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea because I'm stubborn to try something new LOL. The TGY tea at the South Bay location is slightlystronger?? or it could just be me... BUT IT WAS STILL GOOD. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend!! Also ordered theParadise Peach Cheese Cream Foam and their Moo! My Taro drink, but didn't get the chance to taste it. Service was great. Theywere really patient and the wait wasn't too long. Overall, one of my top go-to boba spot. Will definitely be back. Hopefullythey'll have the QQ noodles when I return bc they sold out that night. Sunday | October 30, 2022 @8:00pm Read more
Newest addition to San Mateo. Good choice of boba. Sad they don't have QQ noodle. Somehow it is imported from Taiwan. Teh kuam... in is good. Wait time is reasonable. Read more
In my opinion tp tea is the best boba in the Bay Area hands down. Been going to the Cupertino location since they opened even... though I live in the Fremont area. This new location is located near taishoken and noodleosophy. I saw on IG that they hadtheir grand opening this weekend with a bogo special so I knew I had to swoop. Line was long but moved fairly quickly. Staffare super friendly and accurate, except my one drink was a missing pearls ???? but it?s ok since they just opened. Willdefinitely come here when I am in the area and make sure to download the Snackpass app to order in advance once it is up andrunning to save yourself some time! Read more
Pretty solid fruit flavors! Loved the jelly included in the drink and the flavors were very refreshing. The pineapple in the... sunshine ice tea could have been a bit more flavorful but the peach fantasy ice tea was solid! My only downside was that eventhough I requested less ice they both were still very icy and got watered down by the end. Read more
Newly opened TP Tea in the South Bay. This location however has some of the best tea I've had, literal standard for milk tea in... my opinion. The team is super friendly and offers a lot of useful insight to help me make my choices. I got a grapefruit tea anda normal milk tea on my first visit and I definitely plan to visit again! Read more
Soft opening today! The staff was very nice, noticing the Strawberry Milk Tea I was about to order was for my kids and offering... their caffeine free Strawberry Smoothie instead They have coconut pineapple jelly and almond jelly Tie guan yin tea wasaromatic. The boba were smaller than I'm used to, not sure I liked them, will try the QQ noodle instead next time Read more
When it comes to just milk tea, this place wins my heart hands down. You can taste the tea. You can also use milk substitute if... you?re not fond of milk. Beware, there?s always a line here Read more
