After a whole day of being out and about it was time to wind down with some boba. When my brother and I got there it was about 30 minutes before closing and thank goodness there wasn't a line. When we came in we had an order of 5 drinks ($3.50 each for large) and right as we got in line 5-7 more people came right behind us. Since our order was fairly huge we looked at the menu ahead of time. T-pumps has this process, like other boba places up here, where you choose a base, a flavor, sweetness, and toppings.

A beautiful thing happened and we told the cashier there will be 5 drinks so the rest of the staff was ready to go and boy did they hustle. If customers are upfront about their order and you have a staff like T-pumps in Foster City does, it becomes a beautiful dance. Our orders were made in less than 4 minutes AND they were all correct.

My drink was a green tea with taro and coconut, lightly sweetened with no boba. I got to say it was pretty tasty, reminds me of those times I went to get frozen yogurt and did a taro/coconut combination, this drink was pretty close. It was the taste of the taro and since there was coconut the drink itself was a little thicker because the coconut milk has this creamy consistency. The sweetness was spot on as well and for everyone else’s drinks they were happy campers as well. Locals say there’s usually a line, which I don’t doubt because for a small place it thrives in the shopping center it’s in. T-pumps is the go-to boba place to get your down-to-a-t-customizable drink.
