Tea Plus Inc - Fremont

Don't be fool by the outlook and the location. This place is a gem hidden inside the supermarket. I tried the hot rose tieguanyin latte. Decent tea flavor and the drink was piping hot. I got it with 25% sweetness which I might bump up to 50% next time since it could've been better if it's just a bit more sweet. The service was super fast as I was the only customer then. The price of the drink is unbeatable compared to other boba places. Will definitely come back and try their other drinks next time!

CASH OR VENMO ONLY We've been coming to Tea Island super frequently to get our tea fix since the prices are so reasonable! Note that they only accept cash or Venmo and do not accept credit cards. Towards the end of the day, they're always out of boba so make sure you come well before closing if that's what you were planning to get. From my experience, the drinks are not too sweet compared to typical boba shops and the milk teas are even less sweet. My mom typically gets 50% and think it's too sweet, but at tea Island she got 100% and said it was a good sweetness level for her. The fruit teas I think are much better here and on par to competitors. Our favorites are the passion fruit and grapefruit green tea, both at 100% sweet. Unfortunately, I wanted to try the black sesame tea but they no longer offer it here. Excited to try their other fruit tea drinks!

Tea Island is a hidden gem in Marina grocery store. There is plenty of parking in this parking plaza. When I stopped by the first time a few years ago, I did not have high expectations, but I was blown away with how good their jasmine milk tea was for a spot in a grocery store. I would not say they are the best milk tea I had before, but it was for the price their drinks are pretty cheap/inexpensive. Whenever I go recently, they are either about to close or they are closed (their hours are not consistent nowadays).

Tea Island is one of my favorite go-to boba spots whenever I'm in the area. I've been coming here since they opened inside what used to be Marina (now it's 168 Market). The quality of their teas is tough to beat! The owner uses high-quality tea leaves and brews them fresh for every single drink order. After all these years, this is the most consistent boba place I've ever been to. Their teas are one of the best! Prices are reasonable, but they only accept cash or Venmo payment. Service is pretty fast considering that it's just the owner now making all the drink orders.

A hidden gem! Located inside the 168 market. Hard to find boba spots that are still under $5. So that's a huge win. They have great drinks and you can really taste the tea. My biggest complaint is the hours are inaccurate. They don't follow the hours shown on Yelp. They pretty much close whenever they stop getting customers. I have shown up so many times around 6-7pm and they're already closed. So i would not try to come here after 530pm. Cash or venmo only.
