TP TEA – Berkeley

Cute little boba shop tucked away in Berkeley, in the Telegraph district, close to several popular food joints. Parking is super convenient with several reasonably priced garages and plenty of cheap street parking. This place has a small seating area with a few tables and pickup options available. Ordering is efficient through a kiosk and fulfilled quickly. We ordered a matcha yuzu tea, a strawberry pudding with boba, a taro tea and a signature black tea with boba. All were excellent. They allowed for customizing the ice and sugar levels for all drinks. My favorites were the matcha yuzu and the signature black tea. The matcha yuzu was light, extremely fresh and citrusy. The black tea was strong and very high quality. The strawberry one was on the sweeter side so opting for a lower sugar level is a good idea. The taro one had an overpowering taro flavor. All in all, highly recommend this for a post meal dessert if you're in the area!

I’m a huge fan of this place because their drinks especially the milk tea are spot on. But beyond the flavors, the service here is truly top-notch. There’s a young guy (who looks Chinese) who is always smiling and even remembers my usual order. Also, the woman who can speak Thai is absolutely wonderful. Both of them go above and beyond, and whenever there’s a hiccup with an order, they handle it so helpfully and with a great attitude. Even the manager is amazing. I once had an issue with an order and called the store, and the manager handled it personally. He didn't let the problem slide and was super enthusiastic about making things right. The customer service here is truly next-level. The owner is honestly so lucky to have such an amazing team!!

This is my fav place for many years. I only get TGY milk tea 15% sugar w/boba. Their bobas are soft, fresh, & chewy most of the time. I started loving their 3Q TP milk tea w/ 0% sugar since it saves me extra $ for adding additional toppings. Sometimes I order strawberry milk tea with less sugar & lychee jelly as well. These are my 3 consistent drinks here. Some other drinks are too strong for me. Love coming here for good drinks, & the prices are affordable compared to others, but it’s hard to park around here.

Been there like thousand of times and I alway get the taiwanese milk tea with all the yummy topping, none of thier drink disappointed they are all great! i just tried their strawberry Matcha and it was yummy

Not my favorite boba spot, but you really can’t go wrong here. I wouldn’t recommend the pure tea, as it’s brewed a bit too strong for my taste. That said, it works very well with milk and is quite enjoyable.
