Wanpo Tea Shop — Restaurant in Cupertino

We visited Wanpo Tea Shop on a Saturday afternoon, and parking was convenient enough with spots relatively easy to find. Upon entering, we noticed the ordering process is self-service via a kiosk located on the left side, which made for a smooth and quick ordering experience.

We tried four drinks: Coconut Purple Rice Taro Milk, Wanpo Milk Tea, Guava Jinxuan Oolong, and Sugar Cane Oolong Tea. Unfortunately, they didn't serve crystal boba, so I opted for Aiyu Jelly as a substitute in my drink. While the toppings were fine, the drinks themselves left us wanting more. The flavors were quite muted, lacking the boldness or richness we expected from a specialty tea shop. Even the Wanpo Milk Tea, their signature drink, didn’t particularly stand out.

The shop had a nice vibe and the staff were friendly, but for a place specializing in tea, the taste fell short of our expectations. While it wasn’t bad, it was just average, and we’ve had better boba experiences elsewhere. If you’re in the area, it’s worth trying, but it may not become your go-to spot...

Tried out this Taiwanese milk tea shop and really enjoyed it. First time I had their barley milk tea with oatmeal topping definitely on the sweeter side (can’t remember what sugar level I ordered), but surprisingly tasty, especially with the oatmeal. Came back another time and tried the Tieguanyin milk tea with boba at 30% sugar wishing I went with 50% instead. Also got the sugar cane Jinxuan oolong at 30% and same thing, still good but probably would’ve been better at 50%.

That said, both drinks had a strong tea taste, which I really appreciate it actually feels like tea, not just dessert. The interior is nice and cozy, and even on a Saturday when it was packed with groups in front of us, the drinks came out pretty quickly. Big kudos to the baristas, especially one lady who was super kind and patient with kids picking up their orders.

Definitely a spot worth coming back to just remember to go a little higher on the sugar level if you like your...

I've been a regular here for several months, and I have to say this is hands-down one of the best, if not the best, boba shops in the Bay Area. I absolutely love the aesthetics and vibe of the shop, with a comfortable and aesthetically-pleasing environment.

The quality of tea, toppings, and service are all top-notch. My go-to drinks are the Alishan Oolong and Jasmine Lemon Green Tea, both of which are high-quality and always come with the right amount of sweetness and concentration of tea. I really like the pearls here too, as the consistency and sweetness are always on point. Finally, the service has always been consistently warm and welcoming, and I find myself coming back again and again for them.

Overall, Wanpo is a spot not to miss in Cupertino, and I look forward to trying more drinks...
