13 Best Bubble Tea in San Mateo

“I'm surprised by this Pink Pink. My experience in the Santa Clara location was so bad, I swore to never get it again. They sell soft serve/froyo here?! It's really yummy - totally would get again. I asked for a sample and they gave me a small cup. Peach oolong milk tea was good. Boba was chewy. Drink had a lot of creamer though...would tone it down. Overall, I would not be opposed to coming here again and trying their other drinks!“

“Stopped in while charging my car. Ordered the classic crepe with lemon and it was GREAT! $9.00 out the door and it was worth every dime. The woman who helped was very nice and even offered water. I ate there and the restaurant was small but clean. Next time you charge your next to Safeway try it out you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!“

“When Tiger Tea opened, I thought "does San Mateo really need another boba place?" I was wrong. We had a craving for Thai Tea and popped into Tiger Tea. Also saw their Avocado shake and was intrigued since I've only seen these at Viet restaurants. Both drinks were fantastic Thai tea had a strong tea flavor with just enough sweetness at 75% 5/5 Avocado shake was very refreshing, creamy and sweet 5/5“

“TLDR: high quality tasty tea with great bobaI got the tie guan yin milk tea with boba for $6 and it came out within 2 minutes. The milk tea was silky and creamy, the boba was soft and chewy. The tea flavor was very strong and even at 50%, the sweetness was a bit strong but still very good and enhanced the flavor of the drink. Would definitely come back to try some other drinks“

“Boba had a good texture, though it could be chewier, and was barely sweet, which is my preference.You can get drinks without sugar and ice, and they don't give you less liquid.They have cold brew coffee and coffee milk teas.I was excited that they had drinkable mochi but it was way too sweet and a little grainy/gritty. Sadly I will have to go back to Ume for my drinkable mochi cravings.“

“My family and I came here on recommendation from another friend that loves Boba. Parking sucks! My family and I were driving in three separate cars, since we just came from dim sum in Millbrae, and trying to find a spot with all of us in the same area was ridiculous on a Sunday afternoon afternoon! Nevertheless, the GPS did not tell us that half of the street on "B St. was closed for the public to walk and kind of like the Covid times, where everything is set up for businesses to eat outdoors. I really like that idea of eating outdoors, but I wish the GPS had updated their system telling us there was no parking. Lol. Once inside the café, everything was so cute and organized. I really liked it! It was a long rectangular restaurant that went all the way back and they even had an upstairs area with a loft that overlooked the register area that we were sitting in below. Since we had a rather large party, we sat outside, and there were at least four tables with chairs all the way around for everybody to sit in. The restaurant next-door seems to be under a change of ownership, so my nephews were able to ply freeze dance in a designated area without bothering anybody. Lol the Boba itself tasted delicious. I got the T8-I think it was with passionfruit and Boba and it was delicious! I always do my Boba without sugar and light ice because I really want to taste the green tea and I figure Boba is already sweet anyways. There was a little bit of a lemon/lime citrus flavor in the Boba itself, which I also loved!! My boyfriend got an easy green tea with just Boba in it and it had this cool drink carrier with a dragon around the top! It was so pretty my nephews always wish they had one too! Lol as their orders came up, each one of them had a cool dragon drink carrier, and they were so proud of their Taiwanese, Chinese, Filipino heritage! I will definitely be back here again to try more of their drinks!! Hee“

Mango Pomelo Sago

“Organic milk, organic sugar, organic fruits and premium ingredients, are some of the reasons I come here for myself and my kids! This Yifang location in San Mateo is definitely my all time favorite for any milk tea, boba, fruit teas, and sweet drinks across the Bay Area. I'm super happy that my children are drinking something with real ingredients rather than powdered ingredients with high fructose corn syrup. Their favorite drinks include Strawberry Milk, Strawberry Sago, and Brown Sugar Pearl Latte (there's no caffeine in these), and my favorites are the Yifang Fruit Tea, Grass Jelly Tea, Sugar Can Mountain Tea, and Brown Sugar Pearl Matcha Latte. The other item options are top-notch as well. Drinks tend to be on the sweeter side so I would always order 30% sweetness. Highly, highly recommend! Staff here are sweet and so helpful!“

Mochi Waffle

“The black sesame tang yuan is more than 6$ for 3 balls! Seems pretty expensive and average tasting.Mochi waffle with ice cream also tasted average with an above average price. Also got paged while I was there.Also my pet peeve is they give you everything on one-time use utensils and containers. Makes everything feel cheapSo overall mid experience, nothing very memorable“

“So excited to tried this brand new tea shop in Bay Area, it’s a popular tea shop in China.We’ve tried the signature grass jelly milk tea , avocado milk shake and the peach Mochi Milk tea .The signature grass jelly milk tea has so many topping in it, peanuts, red been , boba and jelly. I ordered 50% sugar and less ice . It had a nice chewy consistency.The avocado milk shake was served in a Yakult bootle , fresh avocado and fresh whole milk makes it so buttery .I love the peach mochi milk tea so much . It had the perfect refreshing flavor I was craving.This is probably the best that I have had in the bay.Highly recommend and will come back soon“

“This place has good boba for the area and a pretty nice inside to the building. It's one of the only boba places nearby that you could treat like a Starbucks and work inside it or lounge around as there is a decent amount of seating and a little nook in the corner to just hangout in.Vegetarian options: It's boba so no meat.Dietary restrictions: You can customize your order to accommodate dietary restrictions.Parking: There are several parking lots nearby and decent street parking options but your best bet is the large multiple story tall parking garage across the street from the ShareTea and the Cinemark movie theater.Kid-friendliness: It's boba and I've been going here since I was in middle school.Wheelchair accessibility: This place has a ground floor entrance.“
