Soyful Desserts — Restaurant in San Jose

Ayo, forget that the place is small AF, forget that it may be hard to find although its clearly in Vietnam Town in Little Saigon in one of the plazas and can easily be seen when you drive through the parking lot, forget all the little non-sense.

I'm not no milk tea connoisseur like a lot of reviewers who been to like 100s of places. I've had my share and know whats good.

This place is good! It's different from other places I've tried. It has that "Soy" twist. I only get their SPECIALTY drink--that basil seed, grass jelly, cold tofu pudding with the ice. Dont know what its really called but its damn good. Not too sweet, it's just right. Forget using the spoon to consume it. Just use the spoon to mix it all up, then use the straw and drink away.

Staff is super nice! I mean genuinely nice! They have to be cramped back there all day and still are helpful and churning out these delicious drinks!

I'm not going to reduce stars because the irrelevant complaints of the place being small, or hard to find. I actually prefer it this way. Keep it less packed, maybe prices would be more if they had a bigger place. Just go in and out.

Also its a unique place and I havn't had any other place to compare it to. So once I try another place that serves up drinks with a soy twist,...

This place was suggested to me by Michelle S. and when she sees this review, she might freak out because this was her favorite boba shop.

I ordered my usual mango green tea and was informed that they only accept cash when I was about to hand them my credit card... Then I found out that their minimum was $10. Excuse me, it's $3.75 for a drink. I'm not gonna buy 3 drinks to meet the minimum qualification of using a credit card. Data & processing fees are around only $0.03, I don't know why boba shops don't have card readers.

Thank goodness one of her friends gave me $5 cash and was able to pay for it. When I got my drink, I was highly disappointed. Soggy boba, lack of flavor, and overall distasteful.

Would not come...

The customer service here can be a hit or miss at times but I still keep coming back for the milk tea with pudding and creama. I use to go weekly but I needed to cut down on my habit so now I go monthly lol. I love the balance between sweet and salty and I miss the matcha powder on top. They just recently stopped adding it is what I was told two weeks ago :/ I loved the color and taste. Hopefully it'll come back. The pudding is so soft and tasty!

The other drinks are ok. I have to have them add hella simple syrup before the drinks will taste good. Kinda defeats the purpose of trying to be healthy lol. The location is super small and soyful is basically a grab and go. There's a little bit of seating in front...
