Feng Cha

Feng Cha has become one of my go-to boba spots, and I'm glad that this new location in Mountain View opened up. To start with, the Cookies & Cream Milk Tea is one of my favorite drinks from any bubble tea shop. The tea, foam, and Oreo come together so well. I also like the boba, as it has good texture and the right amount of flavor. I'm not a usual fruit tea drinker, but the Summer Melon's blend of oolong tea, watermelon, and lemon juice was very refreshing after a hot day.Feng Cha also has fun seasonals, and unlike other chains they are not afraid of chocolate! In the fall I enjoyed the Dirty Chai's blend of chai and milk; in the cold months, the Tea Cocoa and Pretzel Cocoa are appreciated twists on the standard hot cocoa.A note on sugar: the drinks seem to lean on the sweeter side, so while I can tolerate 75-100%, most people might prefer 50% or less.Other than the drinks, I like the clean but still natural aesthetic of the store, and the service is pretty smooth. I've also noticed the prices seem a bit lower than the competition, which is impressive given the quality.

I get that it's new, but this Feng Cha has a long way to go if it's going to survive among its many competitors.We ordered one Oreo milk tea at the "card payment" self-service kiosk. Quoted wait time was 10 minutes. The drink actually took more than 20 minutes, and there were some concerning sights during that considerable delay.I'll start with what I will assume was a botched drink. An employee used a knife to cut open the heat-sealed lid of a drink. She picked the cut lid out of the cup--at this point, fingers are IN THE DRINK, and the call should be to scrap it and start over. Instead, she just poured off about a half inch of the drink and refilled it from a white pitcher (forgotten crema, I guess?). Then it was back to peeling the rest of the lid off the rim of the cup, and closing it up again. Was relieved to find out it wasn't our drink.Then there was the matter of the overhead tea dispensers. They're large and rectangular, with spigots to dispense the tea. An employee went to fill a cup with tea, only to find that the dispenser was nearly empty. Naturally, her reaction was to tip the dispenser toward herself, to coax the last of the drink out of the spigot. But again, it's situated ABOVE HER HEAD. ("Really? Right in front of my OSHA handbook?") Also unclear what her plan was even in the best case that there was enough tea for that drink... you still need another dispenser full of tea, or the next person is again trying to get water from the rock.Eventually we received our Oreo milk tea, which had a hot drink lid for some reason. Cost was okay, around $6 plus tip. My wife thought the Oreo was too gritty (though I kind of figure that's expected with an Oreo drink?). We both felt it needed more Oreo flavor.Drink: 2 starsValue: 3 starsService: 1 starOverall: 1 star, please train your employees how to handle these different situations

They just had their grand opening this month! Great boba spot for drinks.Tried the boba milk tea with tiramisu foam, delicious! Clean spot with good amount of seating. Workers are very nice!Would recommend and will be coming back!

Place was bright and clean. Hot Oolong milk tea had nice strong Oolong taste; very hot. Was able to sit comfortably. Sanitizer provided at counter.

I stopped here once for a tea just because it was the nearest boba shop and I was impressed by the balanced flavors and quality of the drink so I came back again the next time I was nearby. I think I got jasmine milk tea and my husband got the Iron Goddess is it? - an oolong. They are both really good and I'll be back to try others. The people behind the counter have been efficient and kind and pleasant too.

3.5 StarsFeng Cha recently opened in Mountain View and is currently having their soft opening from 8/1-8/16 where they're offering 20% off on all orders. Feng Cha originated from China and has now over 1000 stores around the world. While they have standard milk tea drinks, they're more known for their various foam top flavors (e.g. matcha, tiramisu, taro, etc.) that can be added to any drink. While not bad, I wouldn't say the drinks are super amazing so the discount is definitely nice.Their grand opening will be from 8/17-8/18 where they'll be offering BOGO all weekend.ORDER:|-| Jasmine Green Tea with Matcha Foam - A light jasmine green tea, not overpoweringly floral. Paired nicely with the matcha foam but matcha flavor was very light.|-| Oolong Dark Roasted Milk Tea with Boba - Tea tea flavor was surprisingly light even though it was supposed to be dark roasted.

A perfectly balanced, floral Jasmine tea with real milk (and oat milk or creamer) options paired with chewy, spot-on texture boba. What more could you ask for? We highly recommend the Jasmine Green Milk Tea with real milk (lactose free) at 50% sweet with boba. We're always on the hunt for a solid new boba shop our signs of a good drink include:A balance of tea flavor that comes though without any artificial tastes, chewy boba that isn't too soft or too overly sweetened with brown sugar, and enough ice to make the drink COLD and refreshing. The first sip of Feng Cha's tea met all of those! We were really surprised to stumble to into their soft opening this week while we were in this busy Mountain View plaza after seeing their banner up! Interior is modern and clean with a white and green aesthetic with a good amount of seating. Menu has standard milk and fruit teas with a nice touch that you can make any of their fruit teas non caffeinated with a sparking water base sub. They have a current promotion for 20% off during their soft opening and their grand opening is this weekend (8/17/2024) with the first 50 drinks free and the rest are BOGO - which is great deal. Service was also kind and friendly, they explained parts of their menu and offered helpful recommendations. Only (very) minor nit picks would be to note any of the "Pure Teas" can be made into a milk tea and fall under the "Classic" Milk Tea option - which was slightly confusing to me but not a huge deal. I wish they gave just a tad more boba since it was honestly so deliciously chewy that I ended up finishing it all before my tea but maybe that's just me . Excited to have a new place to write to friends about - we'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks!

This boba place just opened by my gym. I decided to try the soft opening. I ordered the bursting dragonfruit with 25% sweet, salted crème foam, and crystal boba. Delicious and refreshing! It has bits of dragonfruit in the drink. I also like the different options for foam and will try others. Soft opening discount is also great to try the place! Will definitely come back and try other drinks.

Delicious and refreshing teas. The consistency is notable. And with great customer service. The staff is always friendly and professional. The menu has a wide range that can accommodate any tea lover.

Feng Cha is hands down one of my favorite boba spots in the Bay Area. I used to order from their Fremont store, and I'm so happy they've opened one in Mountain View
