TP Tea is one of the best boba spots in South Bay. If you are looking for good quality drinks, TP Tea should be on your list!
Over the years, I've tried a decent amount of their drinks and have enjoyed basically everything I've gotten. My favorites are the Strawberry Milk Tea and the Mango Matcha Latte. The Strawberry Milk Tea is a blended ice drink, and I've never really found anything like it elsewhere - it's creamier than your typical smoothie. TP Tea's drinks taste like they are made with good ingredients, but the drinks aren't as strong in terms of the tea flavor itself. I think they're best for their milk teas and specialty drinks; I personally don't really go for their fruit teas or non-milk teas.
They have some places to sit inside, but it's not a huge store. I usually just come to grab boba and then head out; it's not the best for hanging out since it can get quite loud. However, there usually are always some people sitting and chatting, so the option is always there.
You can order on your phone or using the order kiosk. They are pretty popular, so I usually have to wait at least 10-15 minutes (and potentially much longer if they're extra busy) at any time in the day. I know some people who drive out to Cupertino just for TP Tea, so they definitely are popular. Definitely a key spot for good boba!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 63553Apr 8, 2024
TP Tea in Cupertino has become my absolute favorite boba spot in the area, and for good reason. Every visit leaves me completely satisfied with their delicious drinks and efficient service.
I always order the TGY Family Milk Tea and Strawberry Milk Tea at 80% sweetness with boba, and they never disappoint. The balance of flavors is perfect, and the level of sweetness is just right - not too sugary, but wonderfully satisfying. The boba pearls are consistently cooked to perfection, adding a delightful chewiness to each sip.
What impresses me most is the consistency of their drinks. No matter how many times I've ordered the same thing, it always tastes just as great as the first time. The quality is top-notch.
The ordering process is a breeze thanks to their user-friendly iPad system. Checking out is quick and efficient, which is perfect for those times when you're in a hurry but still craving a refreshing drink.
Service at TP Tea is prompt and friendly. Despite the busy atmosphere, the staff always manages to serve customers with a smile. The store itself is clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant environment to enjoy your drink.
The only drawback I can think of is the lack of bathroom facilities, which means it's not an ideal place to linger. However, for a quick stop to grab a fantastic boba drink, TP Tea is unbeatable.
I find myself making a point to stop by TP Tea every time I'm in the area. It's become a staple in my routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality boba drinks in Cupertino.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Mar 28, 2024
One of my favorite places for MT. That, and how it's convenient that it's in the same plaza as one of my fav noodle restaurants. Service can be a hit or miss, depending on the day/time. Crazy long wait time on weekends but fast on a weekday, but that's as expected. Highly recommend doing it via Snackpass.
My go to drinks from here are: tie guan yin MT and strawberry MT (both drinks are their specialities). One thing about the strawberry MT tho is that it's superrrrr sweet. I suggest doing 0% sweetness, or if you have to, 30%.
It can get loud inside but if you catch them on a non busy day, the volume is minimal. Parking is never a problem and staff are always friendly. Happy to have a place that's so close to home.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - 514138135Mar 21, 2024
This is hands down the best boba in the bay. Came here with some friends back in September, liked it so much that we had to come back the next time we visited the bay too.
The Tieguanyin oolong milk tea is so delicious. A very strong tea flavor that isn't overpowered by everything else. It also has a very fragrant milky taste too. You can also adjust the sugar and ice level to your liking. The boba was also soft, fresh, and has a nice chew to it.
The line does get long so our friends ordered about 30 minutes ahead on this app called SnackPass. It's easy to sign up and order ahead so you can skip the line. We got in, got there at the time it told us, and picked up our drinks right away.
I think I want to come back here every time I visit the bay area. Or take this store back home with me to Boston.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Apr 25, 2024
Was in the Cupertino area and TP tea seems on top of the list. Inside was somewhat packed on a weekday night and I decided to try the Strawberry Milk Tea. It was nothing mind blowing, not terrible and just whatever to me. I would come back to try other drinks but based on this experience it was meh.

My favorite boba place in the bay area! Parking isn't an issue. They're always busy and it's for a reason. I would recommend ordering through Snackpass to avoid having to wait in line, esp on the weekends
The tea quality is really good and I personally like strong tea flavor so I always get the tie guan yin tea/milk tea/oolong latte with pearls. If you're looking for something refreshing, I would go with the lemon jasmine green tea or passion fruit gt. They've had their fried snacks for a while but I still haven't tried it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Mar 2, 2024Updated review
Still good. Still busy. You can skip the line by ordering online but u still gotta wait for ur drink. Worth it imho.

You place ur order in one of two kiosks and wait for ur number to be called. They have lots of people just churning out drinks which makes the whole process pretty quick. I like the variety they have there so will likely come back soon to try other drinks.
Jun 6, 2021Previous reviewThe TP is Taiwan Professional. You've got to have some gaowans (look it up, it's Chinese) to call yourself the Taiwan Professional tea place in Cupertino, but they live up to the claim. I had the classic and most popular boba milk tea. Tea was flavorful and delicious and boba was spot on chewy and fresh. Not the easiest place for me to get to and I must pass at least 4 other boba tea places to get here. Still, delicious and worth coming back for to try their other teas.
Apr 29, 2019Previous reviewThis is the new hot place for boba in Bobatino. Lines are out the door and to the right on weekends. I had to try and went today on a Monday. Only 4 ahead of me in line. Still, it took awhile to get my tea cause people didn't know how to order and they take awhile to make the tea. Each one is made to order. I have to say tea is very good. I had the tie guan yin with boba. Good flavor. Chewy boba. They use sugarcane, so I went with the recommended 100% sugar. Half ice. I can understand the hype and the lines. Good stuff and a little pricier than most. I don't think it's worth the weekend wait so will be back on a weekday to try other flavors.

To be honest, part of me wishes I never found out about Tp tea because I'm so addicted to it now. Ive gotten it every day this week. I love the tgy family milk tea with 15% sugar and little to no ice. This drink comes with coffee jelly, boba and pudding. I've tried many boba places and this place just does milk tea so so well. I also tried the regular boba milk tea and jasmine milk tea. Those are good as well but tgy is just heaven. Expect a wait every time u go here tho. It's super popular and for good reason.

So busy at night. Order at the screen and then watch another screen to see which order is ready or still needs to be prepared. The fruity drinks and milk teas are both good. They seem to churn out the drinks pretty quickly and boba melts nicely in your mouth. Given how busy and packed this place is, it's not somewhere you can relax. Even the uncomfortable geometric metal stools are telling you to leave lol great for grab and go (because of ambience) but be prepared to wait a little due to large volume of orders.
Parking lot available.
Amazing udon place a few doors down in same plaza!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
