N7 Draft Tea + Coffee — Restaurant in San Jose

House milk tea -- a brown sugar milk tea with crema -- is my personal favorite. Their matcha latte and matcha smoothies are also good. I'm a fan of their egg puff waffles, although I'm not a super fan of the cheese dip.

I'm not a fan of the oatmilk brand they use either; nondairy milks are always a challenge -- the oils and water start to separate after sitting for a while like juice concentrate -- so definitely don't look at your drink if you get the oatmilk substitute and cannot finish it quickly (which is me, 100%).

Their hours are actually up till 7PM (because of COVID, I believe), but my first visit to this location actually happened to be right at closing -- when I thought they closed at 8PM. They let me in at 7:00PM, and not only did they let me in to get a boba, they also made me a waffle!

I wasn't feeling so great at that moment, but I felt a huge emotional flip after realizing they were closed, then being let in, then getting a tea and waffle. Don't try to pull the same thing I did, but definitely do visit...

Great tea place located in the Mitsuwa plaza off of the Saratoga exit on 280. It's by the Shabuway, on the opposite side of Paris Baguette and Daiso. Staff are very friendly and fast, never had a bad experience or a bad drink. :)

It's April 2021 as I'm writing this, so no indoor dining, but I did go pre-apocalypse and can assure you it's a cute, modern cafe atmosphere when indoor seating is allowed.

My personal favorite is the lychee peachy, but if you're looking for a good milk tea their Thai tea and Oreo cheese are good as well.

For parking, I recommend grabbing whatever spot you can and walking, though there's usually a spot nearby on weekends. If you've never been to the plaza before, I'll warn you it's a free for all of chaos and not recommend for first...

Pretty good milk tea. I wouldn't mind returning. I like my milk tea with a strong black tea base. We tried their black cheese crema and Assam nitro milk tea. We got one at 25% sugar and one 50% both with added boba. The 25% is just right to bring out the tea flavor. The cheese crema is not super thick like other places I've had (Feng Cha) but it does make the drink creamier. The ice they use is crushed/smaller ice which i don't prefer since I don't like having ice pieces in my sip of milk tea. It's not a deal breaker and they have a lot of blended fruity drinks that sound and look really delicious. Overall it's a good experience that I will return if I'm...
