My favorite place to get some boba! It’s not your typical boba place that offers a variety of green and black teas. They definitely do offer those items, but it isn’t what they’re known for. They offer a great variety of fruity drinks with their famous honey boba. Their lines always move fast and drinks are made with haste. The food always hits the spot and you even get free sauces to dip it in. Always my go-to spot for boba!

The tea is so good and refreshing here! I originally wanted to try a new boba place that just opened, but we couldn’t find it, so this was my alternative choice. My friend ordered the drinks for us and he got the 32 ounce size for each of us! I never drank so much liquid in my life! You can even get a jug LOL! We chose the top 3 specialteas(according to him) — the peach me sweetea, lychee peachee, booty shaker, and a chamango. The drinks were made so quickly since they have a lot of employees! Too bad this tea bar doesn’t have any tables inside– only a long bench towards the wall while you wait for your drinks or snacks to be made. There is actually one table outside where we were lucky to be able to sit at though. I tried all the drinks we ordered and liked all of them! The specialteas had a lot of yummy add ons, but can be a little too sweet. I’ll customize it the next time I come here. The chamango was soft enough to drink and was very addicting. I’m surprised I didn’t find out about this place before since it’s so popular.

My favorite drink is Daily Perk which have coconut is flavored. I had one time trying the coffee milk tea and I think it’s good too. The service is nice and friendly.

I had an avocado shake and a jasmine milk tea here, both are pretty delicious. The service I received each time was pleasant and friendly, as well. I work in the same plaza part of the week, so I just walk over, but I do know the parking lot can get busy, and your vehicle might fall victim to a non-consensual love tap. Place is good, parking is okay!

Super friendly service here. Always willing to answer questions on drinks I haven’t tried before and offers different size(bulk order teas, etc…) Tried their new aloe boba before tasting it in a drink. Quick and clean. I like this spot and will definitely be back.

Great place if you’re trying to satisfy your smoothie/tea cravings. I ordered the lychee smoothie and it tasted much like the real thing. They have a variety of flavors you can choose from and prepares your order fairly quickly. The place is kinda small with not a lot of chairs to sit down but it has a great atmosphere. I would give this place a shot if you’re in the area looking for some sweet drinks. Will definitely go back to try out other flavors!

Been going to this place for years since my cousin introduced me to tastea, and I love this place! I usually order the peach me freezie with lychee jelly. It has yummy peach and strawberry bits which I like. The food here is also good as well. You can’t go wrong with the popcorn chicken and their fries are bomb!

On point! Their drinks are pretty decent, although I wish their prices were dramatically lower. I especially like the unique shape and texture of their Boba(and the fact that it’s green, not going to lie). The downsides? Their french fries taste really weird. I’m not sure what sauce they decided to use, but it’s not clicking with my taste buds. This is also near my ex’s house, which I would rather not be reminded of.

Parking here is the worst, they’re always packed here. I usually get the Strawberry X, but somehow they top off more ICE than need be. After 5 sips my drink is pretty much gone. Sometimes i feel like its more diluted with water now a days. The service is ok, nothing special Only thing good about this location is that, once you order, your drink usually comes out fast. and that they have AC blasting to MAX24⁄7 on hot days.

OKAY. I probably would have never come back to Tastea if I didn’t learn they started selling sea cream jasmine tea. It’s actually perfect — not too sweet! I only come to Tastea for the sea cream jasmine, but one time I was sad to find out they ran out of sea cream. It’s okay. It must be that great because I can’t be the only one who loves this drink! IT’S PUREPERFECTION. Come one, come all, just get this bomb sea cream jasmine tea.

Going to keep this simple. I’ve always managed to visit this spot at least once or twice through out a year since I have so many friends going school down south. I’ve been coming here since 2010 and nothing changed. I still remember the first time I saw this place in a music video from«JustKiddingFilms» & it made me want to visit this spot because they serve«green boba» which is pretty unique from my perspective. On my most recent visit, I’ve ordered the Peach Me Sweet Tea & Strawberry Ecstasy with green boba & mango bites. If you’re around the area, you should give this spot a try. I know there’s plenty of boba spots in SoCal now but this is an original spot. It wouldn’t hurt to try right?

I’ve been coming to Tastea for as long as I can remember(since they first opened in 2000) and I always manage to stop here when I’m in the area. It’s been so long that I even have a loyalty card! Yes, the names of their drinks might be a little cheesy, but their drinks are top-notch. Tastea is definitely on my list of top boba spots of all-time. I usually have a good rotation of drinks that I go through every time I come. From Bootea Shaker to Strawberry Ecsteasy to Mango All The Way to Peach Me Freezie, you’ll be sure to find a drink that suits your taste buds. I love them all and each drink is so refreshing! Not to mention, they have GREEN boba. Their green boba has been a staple of theirs and it’s cooked to perfection. They have real fruit bits inside all of their drinks too! Friendly staff, clean interior, and plenty of parking as well. They have raised their prices over the years… It’s ~$ 6 for a 32 oz drink which is considerably more expensive than it was back in the day. Inflation is no joke! I’d say it’s definitely worth the price for quality boba though.

Every time I make a trip to SoCal from the bay area, I always have to stop by here! The drinks are so refreshing and I’m slowly making my way to try all of their teas! Yesterday, I had The Unknown and it was delicious! I love the fruit bits but I wish they were chopped a weee bit smaller to fit through the straw. I ended up drinking all of my tea and there were still a lot of fruit bits left! Their green boba is also very good! Probably the best boba I’ve ever had so make sure you add this into your drink! Service is nice and friendly and they make your drinks pretty quick too! I noticed that they have a Matcha Thai Tea drink so I’m definitely gonna get that next time!

Alright I’ll admit, sometimes I visit places for the pretty picture. For instance, Tastea and their Mango All The Way drink! I saw so many colorful photos on Unilocal,I had to stop here before heading home to San Jose and take one for myself. I convinced my parents to make an out of the way pit stop for me just to come here and order their drinks. The line was longer than I had anticipated, but that’s how you know the place is popular. The staff here were friendly. My drink was made in a timely manner. The Mango All The Way was everything the Unilocal pictures made me think it would be! Pleasing to the eye AND on the tongue! It was very fruity and refreshing. I look forward to stopping here again if I’m ever in the area.

This is my all-time favorite boba place when I’m craving fruity teas! The interior is clean but small. No tables, only benches, so I usually don’t stay around the area. Just something to grab and go! Their fruit teas aren’t as artificial tasting as other places. The fruit bits provide a great texture and wonderful flavor! I love the Bootea Shaker(for a little lychee taste), Peach Me Sweetea, and The Unknown(mango). My favorite, however, is the Tootea Fruity! So light and refreshing. :) I haven’t had the opportunity to try their other drinks such as the milk teas and I probably never will haha. The honey boba is great! Don’t forget to add it to your drink. It has a subtle sweetness and adds so much to the drinks.

I don’t typically come to Tastea because I’m not really a big fan of fruity and artificial drinks. I only came here because I was in the same plaza for lunch and I figured that I stop by for their buttload fries(since I was craving fries for quite some time). It costs about $ 3.50 and doesn’t include tax! And no Ted V. of Tastea, I didn’t pay tax at all! This is about a dollar more than the garlic fries at 7 Leaves but hey, I didn’t mind that much. If you order fries or their popcorn chicken, the wait time is usually 15 – 20 minutes, which is to be expected. Though, it did get awkward because all the customers after us got their drinks and left and my sister and I were the only customers at the place at one point. I also needed to go to the bathroom to wash my hands while I was waiting but I think the bathroom was locked by itself? Idk because it was locked when I first came and when I was about to leave, the door was still locked. Hmmm… idk anyways, when the fries arrived, they were really hot and fresh! I still prefer 7 Leaves fries though bc they kinda used too much flour/powder for my taste and I like the garlic added to 7 Leaves fries but it’s all good.

The artisan tea drinks at Tastea are refreshing and, like the name of the shop suggests, tasty. There are many options on the menu but Peach Me Sweetea is my favorite. I really enjoy the peach and strawberry bits in my drink, in addition to the honey boba that I add. This location is situated in a bustling shopping center. The store is organized and clean and the employees are friendly. There’s a photo booth machine in the corner where you can take a picture with a group of friends and have that picture emailed to yourself as proof that you’ve been to Tastea. It’s a really fun thing to do.

Can I just say that their Peach me Freezie with Honey Boba is AMAZING!!! I don’t think I’ve ever tasted anything like it! If you think that this is another ordinary boba place, you’re kinda wrong… I mean they still have the regular drinks but they have a lot of cool different flavors as well. The staff is fairly friendly and the place itself is small, there aren’t may tables but a long bench everybody sits on while they wait for their order. It gets really crowded and packed easily. For me, I don’t really hang around boba places, I just get my drink and go so the space doesn’t really bother me. However, when its crowded and you’re waiting for your drink, it gets a little tough when there’s barely any standing room… They also have a cute little photo booth inside and you can send the pictures to your email which is cute haha The parking lot can be a bit of a problem as well, its located in a really busy plaza and parking spaces are scarce. Otherwise, it definitely hits the spot during a hot summer day in SoCal that’s forsure.

I came here after dinner, ordered salted sea cream jasmine tea, mango all the way, matcha ice tea with boba, and lychee storm. –Salted sea cream jasmine tea was good, wasn’t too sweet. I also added grass jelly with this. –Mango all the way was similar to mangonanda, very good with shaved ice. –Matcha ice tea was very simple, delicious and not too sweet. –Lychee storm was too sweet Out of all the drinks, I would order the salted sea cream and mango all the way again, but I would also try other drinks they have. I will definitely be back. The services was okay. You have to walk all the way in to order your drinks and the pick up station is by the front door which I think it’s very crowded as customers walk in.

For around $ 16 dollars I can get two 20oz drinks, fries, and chicken. Perfect. The fries and chicken are the perfect portion for a party of two since they’re shareable. My favorite beverage so far is the Strawberry Swinger, which is basically a strawberry lemonade. I’ve tried the starburst flavored drink and it’s just too sweet. The ooh la la has a very strong coconut flavor, so if you’re a fan of coconut it’s ideal for you. Mmmmm the fries and chicken are delicious. Each food item comes with one dipping sauce; ranch, ketchup, or weak sauce(which is sweet and sour sauce). Additional sauces are $ 0.25. I’m not sure what kind of seasoning is on the fries, but it’s very addicting. The popcorn chicken is very crispy, but still moist. Order the chicken with the weak sauce, it tastes amazing! Parking might be tough since it’s a very busy plaza. So far I haven’t encountered too long of a wait. I typically expect about a 5min wait to order when I get there after 8pm. If you order food, give yourself an extra 10mins. Overall it’s a great place for a refreshing drink, delicious popcorn chicken, and addicting french fries.
