Sunright Tea Studio- San Jose

So happy to have Sunright near us! This spot was originally an Italian bakery that also had gelato but unfortunately, they didn't survive the pandemic. When we saw the COMING SOON sign for the Sunright Tea, we were so excited because the only location at the time as in Sunnyvale.We love coming to this location since it's not only close by but also across the street from Safeway and McDonalds. So there have been a few times where we would get some groceries from Safeway and drop by Sunright before heading home. So it's super conveniently placed on San Carlos! Another convenience they have is online ordering! So we can place an order and pick it up quickly and not have to wait for it.The interior is always clean and always pretty festive during the holidays which is really nice! They even at one point had a small claw machine but I think it's gone now.Our go-to drinks are the Sunright Boba Milk Tea, Chocolate Oreo Brulee, Cream Pudding Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Boba Milk, Creme Brulee Boba Milk, Oreo Brulee Boba Milk, Pudding Boba Milk, and the Matcha Milk Tea. Glad to also mention that they have hot drinks too! This location also has little mochi waffles and they're really good! Very soft, chewy, and has a hint of sweetness. You just need to wait a bit for them to be made.There's really nothing I can really complain about regarding the shop, but my only beef is with their parking lot. It's SO SMALL. They also share a parking lot with a nail salon in the back, 2 small businesses in the front, and a barber shop upstairs (Paradox). The barber shop is well-known, especially on social media. Unfortunately, this barber shop has guys who will just hang out and not even get a haircut so the parking lot is sometimes filled up with loud, modded cars. I have no hate against the car scene since I grew up around the car scene. I know that all the car guys want a place to just chill, but unfortunately this plaza ain't it for them. Overall, the parking lot is just too small. There were a few times when we had to park across the street at the back of the Walgreens.Overall, we're glad that there's a Sunright not too far from us and we'll continue coming back!

Love their boba! So glad a closer location opened up Quality is consistent with their sunnyvale location. The only downside is their mochi waffles aren't as chewy as I'd like, and sometimes it doesn't taste freshly made Service is usually quick, but parking can be tricky (it's one way and a very small lot). If you don't mind walking, the lot by McDonald's and Safeway is way bigger!

I really hope this place sticks. I enjoyed the Wow Lemonade spot that was here, but it died. Once again, though, we have a banger of a spot. Sunright Tea is my new go-to boba spot. Not just because it's a short walk from my girlfriend's place, but because everything is just awesome. Like my other favorite boba chain, Happy Lemon, Sunright has some nice cheese foam, but my favorite drinks on the menu are their frosties. Whether it's their mango, coconut, or strawberry frosty, they're all the right amount of sweet and refreshing. Add some cream pudding on there and you have a heck of a treat!I also like how they do gaming collabs every now and then. I really enjoy the sticker promotion they did with Capcom for Ace Attorney.

A great boba shop in downtown San Jose! It was so clean and service was so fast! The boba also had good chew.

Great spot! My favorite drink here is the oreo brûlée boba milk. It comes with boba, and you can customize the amount of ice and sweetness which is always a plus. I got 100% as it was the recommended amount, and it's delicious - the perfect amount of sweetness. The flavors were reminiscent of an oreo milkshake, but the consistency stayed true to a creamy boba drink. Love the convenience--you can order on kiosks, and use apple pay! Drinks came out within 5 minutes of ordering. There's also a lot of fun decorations inside, including a christmas tree, scarecrow, and inflatable snowman lol. Overall it's a cute spot for some yummy drinks!!

I was looking for a place near me that had black sugar milk tea and was so excited when I found Sunright Tea Studio as I've heard good things about this place. A chance to try it out, awesome! First off - parking is horrible. It's located on a busy intersection with a very small and tight parking lot shared by a few businesses, including a nail salon. I suggest parking across the street and walking over, unless you are extremely lucky and are there just as someone leaves. When I walked in, there were two kiosks located on the left hand side to order your drinks. You can take your time and browse if this is your first time here, which I did. Unfortunately, none of the workers seemed inclined to answer any questions I had about the drinks. I found the black sugar milk and realized it was just milk and not actual tea. So I ended up ordering the Sunright milk tea instead and also indulged in ordering some choco mochi paws (how cute!). After ordering, I sat down and waited for my order to be called. About 5-7 minutes later, one of the workers called a number, but I couldn't hear what it was. I looked up to see if they would repeat the number or make any indication of what the order was, but I got nothing. I waited for a bit longer, then noticed that they had a system for picking up orders on the counter. Okay, cool. I'll just go over and see if mine was up. My order was sitting there when I walked up, but none of the workers said anything. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to check in with them or anything before taking my order, but since no one looked over or asked if I needed help, I figured I was free to take it and leave. The boba milk tea was subpar - I went with recommended settings on sugar/ice and it was very lite flavor wise. You couldn't taste the sugar or much tea at all. The pearls were decent, but lacked any flavor. The mochi paws were cute and warm - but tough and chewy and not in a good way. It felt like there was too much flour mixed in when the batter was made and therefore lacked the fluffy chewy texture of mochi. I ended up throwing away half of them... And I usually never throw away dessert! Overall - 1 star off for the (lack of) customer service and 1 star off for the tea/mochi I tried. The store was clean and nicely decorated. Maybe I just came on the wrong day and/or ordered the wrong things.

Sunright seems to be my go-to boba spot whenever I'm in a different city, as it's now my third different location, and each one I've ordered something different. This time, I ordered the Sunright Fruit Tea which is always a classic I look for at any boba place I go to! I thought it was very impressive, perfect fruit flavor, and faint tea taste which is always my favorite combination. I also got 100% sweetness, because I always rather it have a stronger sweetness versus tea taste. Overall, service was fast. Me and my friend were also able to find seating inside which made it convenient to finish our drinks before going onto our next spot.

I was going to be near the San Jose Rose Garden, so decided to order from Sunright while I was in the area. Coincidentally, Sunright currently has a limited time special of two drinks - Kay's strawberry jasmine tea with grass jelly, and Edgeworth's oolong milk tea and brown sugar boba. Each order comes with a limited edition Ace Attorney sticker.Edgeworth's oolong milk tea and brown sugar boba, 25% sweetness, no ice, house milk: 3/5It was not that sweet which was what I intended, but I feel the tea flavor was not strong enough since it was overpowered by the milk.White peach oolong cheese foam: 4/5My partner ordered this so I got to try this as well. I thought the white peach oolong was pretty good, I could make out the fruity taste but I still wished the oolong was stronger. However, the creama/cheese foam is really yummy, savory and salty. Once I had finished off the drink, I scraped the remaining cheese foam off of the lid and sides of the cup since a lot of it didn't mix properly with the drink.I have noticed in general I find Sunright drinks to have too weak of a tea flavor for my personal preference. I think oolong in general tends to be milder in flavor too, so it's more easily overpowered by dairy. That's my main disappointment with the drinks, but if you prefer your drinks milder in flavor, then you might like these. Prices for some of the more standard teas are okay compared to average for the area (in the $5-6 range), there's currently some seasonal peach-flavored drinks that I was eyeing, but those are more expensive ($6+).

While I was waiting for my sister to get her tattoo done, I saw that Sunright was nearby, so I walked over for some boba. It was not too busy on a Sunday around 2 PM. Once you walk in, you order on the monitors on the side. I usually get the sunright fruit tea with honey boba at 50% sweetness. It's so refreshing. I do feel like with the orange slices, it takes up space so I feel like I am not getting enough tea. Regardless, I still go back to Sunright for a quick pick me up! The drinks were done pretty quickly. There is also plenty of space for you to sit inside too.

Quality/Quantity - Blueberry Yakult - Good. She usually gets this when she is here. Her favorite is a yakult, and Sunright is the only place with blueberry flavor.Brown Sugar Espresso Latte - My drink, good quality. Not enough "boba" places have good quality "coffee" drinks, in my opinion.Oolong Milk Tea - My daughter's regular order.Atmosphere -Decent size location. Two entrances, one in the front and the other in the back.Limited parking in the back of the building.Interesting "FOB" key to use the bathroom.Not as hard as it sounds, but I witness so many people struggle.Open 7 days a week from 11:45am to 9pm.Service - Ordered online. Drinks were ready when we got here.So fast and friendly service.Price - $25; expensive, but that is the cost for quality.Cashless, so make sure you bring your card. N/A for us as we ordered online.Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success with your 38 locations and growing.Cut and pasted from your website, "Each Sunright Tea Studio location is independently owned and operated under a license from Sunright Corporation."
