Rose Tea Lounge - Cupertino

9.5/10I've tried a few drinks from this location. As a boba fanatic, I kinda of want to gate keep the tea here. The location serves both brown sugar boba and honey/golden boba (the only other places I know that serve honey boba are sun right, cozy tea loft, and rabbit rabbit). The setting is very beautiful, not too much seating, but very lounge-like as the name implies. There has never been a line when I've gone, but the drinks do take a little time to make.I've tried the following with 50% sugar and less ice:Honey gyokuro green milk tea with honey boba (10/10)Tieguanyin milk tea with honey boba (9/10)Alishan Oolong tea with matcha foam and pandan jelly (9.5/10)I have the to say their green teas are the star of the show: super strong and floral. I highly recommend the honey gyokuro green milk tea, since I don't know another boba shop that sells this. I think the matcha foam is also free for certain drinks and is super high quality as well.Note: you can't choose no ice as an option (which I found frustrating)

Beautiful, lounge-like setting but limited seating. It's never been crowded when I've gone, and picking up drinks is quick, but they do take some time to make. Ordering, on the other hand can get to be a bit slow if there is a long line ahead as there's only one self-ordering kiosk. You don't interact with staff except when they call your number. Parking was easy since it's in a complex, which is always a plus. The real highlight here is the tea. Their green teas are super strong, floral, and fragrant which is definitely the best part. The honey gyokuro green milk tea is a must-try; I haven't seen it at any other boba shop. If you like bold, high-quality tea, this place delivers. Overall, a solid spot for unique floral teas!

Another new tea place in Cupertino -- interior was very modern and lounge-y but there were not that many seats if you actually wanted to lounge. There were also a few seats outside, but no heat lamp for after the sun sets. It was also very odd that they didn't have anywhere to order with a staff member at all (most places have both options so staff can help out when it gets busy), so you don't interact with staff at all except when they call out your order number when your drink is ready. And there was also only a single self-ordering kiosk which meant the line to order took quite a while.Overall, they have an interesting selection of drinks, I would come back to try a few specialty options that not every place has. This time around I got the dirty boba matcha latte, which was just a matcha latte with boba. It was tasty and not too sweet, but with a good matcha flavor. Parking is usually ok (behind) here since it's a fairly large shared lot, but might get trickier during peak dining hours.

Super cute interior but drinks are okay, I wouldn't get the matcha here since there's much better in Cupertino, but their other drinks are good. Friend ordered the oolong tea with jelly and I got a Thai iced tea with pandan jelly. My Thai milk tea felt too milky and though it tasted good, my stomach felt questionable after all of that milk (I went with the default house milk option.) I'll probably stick with fruit and non-dairy drinks here. Flavor is strong and good though!

Solid boba place! I especially like the Kyoto green tea with 50% sweetness and puff cream. It's the perfect amount of sweetness with strong tea flavor. We also got the regular green milk tea as well! The shop is very new and beautiful decor. Plenty of tables to hang out or do your work. For sure will return to try their fruit tea.

I've visited the Rose Tea Lounge in Fremont before so I'm excited they opened a location closer to me! We served ourselves using the self serve kiosk, I believe there is also a POS for when it gets busy as well. Decided to try the creme brûlée boba latte at 70% sweet and it was the perfect blend of sweetness and creaminess. There's also no caffeine so it's a plus for when I want to get a boba drink in the evening.

A personal favorite of mine in Elk Grove, Rose Tea Lounge has finally come to the South Bay Area! My friend and I came here on a holiday weekday afternoon and found the boba shop filled with customers & people working with their boba at the tables.The aesthetics are the same as the other locations; there is a modern and minimalistic feel with prominent black and white tones around the shop.I ordered my favorite Matcha Marble, and my friend ordered the Strawberry Cloud Ice Blended. The Matcha Marble was creamy and had a strong matcha taste that I liked, as usual. My friend was not a fan of his drink at 75% sweetness, but he is willing to give this location another try! For me, I have been a fan of this boba business and will continue to try their different bobas at different locations.

I've gone to the Fremont location twice and tried their strawberry cloud and grape cloud. I expected this new location to be crowded on a Saturday evening but it was pretty empty. Interior was clean and modern. This time I wanted to try their milk tea so I got the Kyoto milk tea with honey boba. Ordered at the kiosk and my drink came out in less than 5 mins. I enjoyed the puff cream part especially for my drink. Overall a good drink and would return to try their other options!

This is a nice location in Cupertino to check out if you're ever looking for specialty Boba drinks. I got the Matcha with strawberry and I got the Panna cotta edition. The Panna cotta was a little bit more heavy than what I would have liked, the Matcha had a little bit more bitter flavor than also what I would have liked, the strawberry was OK. Overall, I would come back for the vibes. I was told that the crème brûlée drink was supposedly better? Maybe I will try that.

Been here a couple times and have found this place pretty good. I think they're supposed to be well known for strong tea flavors in their drinks. I've gotten the honey gyokuro milk tea and Kyoto milk tea. For the former, it has a strong floral flavor and I enjoyed the drink with honey boba which was perfectly chewy. The Kyoto milk tea was too matcha-y for my preference and the puff cream they swirl in made the drink taste heavy. Between the two, I preferred the honey gyokuro milk tea.
