I came here on an early Saturday afternoon needing a sugar fix. The place was very quiet (though the rest of the shopping center was, too). I ordered a Lychee Bliss drink (jasmine green tea with lychee pisces and jelly), which came very quickly as I was the only customer. The drink hit the spot and gave me what I needed to keep going the rest of the day. Unlike other boba tea places, the drink menu is fairly sparse, with some teas, coffees and smoothie options. They do offer a few hot snacks (calamari, popcorn chicken, fries and waffles), though I wasn't hungry to try anything. And I was not given an option to adjust the sweetness and ice level of my drink. There is plenty of seating inside with a TV playing music. The bathroom was listed as "out of order." Plenty of free parking available in the shopping center.

Every time we come here it's the same worker working - she's always saying she's on her hour lunch and can't serve us and is by herself. This time she said they were out of all fried food. Seems like she doesn't want to work there or take any orders. Such a waste of time... the calamari heads are actually sooo good when they do make/have it but sometimes even when they do have it the wait can be very long :/

The inside had no AC and it was during one of the heat wave days but still bearable. The Pandan coconut was refreshing but jelly was super long it got stuck in the straw. We ordered chicken too and it was ok. With other boba tea options in the area not my go to but if I'm in the plaza I would maybe try different drinks.

The store is located in the Safeway and 24 hr CVS Shopping Center, next to Valerio's City Bakery. Service: Cashier was friendly, patient, and polite. Welcoming all customers who came in. She also explained the sizing of the Popcorn Chicken and the Fried Calamari Heads. They both came in a sizeable snack paper bag.Hong Kong Style Milk Tea - I chose not to get boba. I know...isn't that the point to see if their drinks or boba is any good!?! The tea was good, but it didn't have that familiar HK Milk Tea taste. Next time, I will get a drink with boba.Fried Calamari Heads - deep fried, crispy, and tasty. They are lightly tossed with yellow onions. Your choice of Mild, Spicy, Super Spicy. The portion size is pretty good, so it's highly recommended to share it with people who like the calamari head/tentacles.

Came here for the fried calamari. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon. They have the calamari heads and the chef P fried calamari. I got the personal size chef P calamari: 5 stars of crispy deliciousness. It was so yummy with my spiced vinegar. It was enough for 2-3 people which is perfect so I don't eat it all. Lol. $12 which is a good price. Also got the ube waffle: 4 stars. The texture was so good a lightly chewy with light sweetness that makes you keep wanting to eat more. I will comeback for more calamari and maybe to try their drink/desert

I have a mental list of the handful of places in the south bay that still make drinks from fresh taro, and I am happy to add SimpleTea as one of them. Ordered the Ice Milk Taro Delight with Taro mash, Coconut milk, Honey boba, Mascapuno strips, Milk, and Shaved Ice. I really enjoyed the combination in this drink. And the shaved ice added a super nice touch. Service was friendly and accommodating, and the ambiance had a nice simple decor.

Tried their Ava Avocado Bliss and it's pretty good. Friendly staff. Simple and relaxed decor that I decide to sit in to enjoy my avocado bliss instead of taking it to go. Did not try any of the milk tea but judging from the avocado drink I'm planning to return to try milk teas and the waffles. They sell Chef P's calamari, not as good as getting them from actual store.

My partner and I visited Simpletea because we wanted something to wash down the spiciness in our stomach after having Indian food for dinner.I liked the variety of options available in the speciality drink menu. After debating between the Mung Bean Delight and the Coconut Pandan, we landed on the Coconut Pandan. Upon the first sip, I noticed how much variety there was in the toppings. I really appreciated that aspect of it. Because the base was coconut water, it was not too heavy. It was really good as a light dessert.The drinks are on the pricier side, so I probably won't go back too often, but I'll definitely be back!

I was craving milk tea as my mom had to pick up something next doo. The lady who helped me was so sweet and so kind. I had made it to their very first opening. I was drawn to the keropi matcha can and she informed me there was one cold can left. I couldn't make up my mind on what I wanted. My mom came in and I asked her if she wanted any. She saw calamari for about $6. I think the owner/manager came out and said they didn't have anymore but they can make some it's going to take awhile. He said it's so good fresh it's crunchy. We agreed and the. I finally made a decision to get the Dalgona and pandan mochi waffle. I highly recommend this place they are so nice and the food/drinks are great!
