“ Mango chichi all the way. The cheese fruit smoothies are all tasty and good combo. I've never been here when it's busy but I'm sure it's a nice treat for the summer. The price point is on the higher side but it's a good treat. If you order to go or DoorDash, it actually held up pretty well to go. ”
“ With the large amount of boba shops nearby, Macu manages to stand out with its use of fresh fruits, most notably mangoes. I ordered the King of Mango smoothie and it was everything I expected, natural mango flavor with tea jelly at the bottom to provide some texture. There is also a reasonable amount of seating inside for people who are looking for a place to sit down and enjoy their drink in a group setting ”
“ I stopped in because I was in the area. King of Mango Smoothie (Summer): Sugar and ice level are fixed. Mango smoothie grapefruit, coconut milk, tea jelly and mango dices (5/5). Pricey, but so good. It does say Summer but I had to get it. The mango puree was sweet and tasted like i was eating a fresh fruit. ”
“ Came here on a Friday night at around 9:30pm after having a late dinner. The store is inside a large plaza which is usually busy on weekends during lunch and dinner hour, but the parking spots clear up later in the night. There were surprisingly many people inside the store considering it was so close to closing; around 3/4 of the tables were taken. I ordered the grape smoothie, which adds green tea jelly, fresh grape bits, and crystal boba. The drink was prepared promptly. The 50% sweetness was, in my opinion, the perfect sweetness. The grape flavor was surprisingly super prominent, and the consistency of the drink was wonderful -- slushy like but not cold enough to the point where your mouth starts to feel a little numb. The crystal boba and green tea jelly were great adds, but I especially loved the fresh grape bits, which added a new texture and freshness to the drink. I don't see grape-flavored drinks often at boba places, so I was very satisfied. Macu Tea has so many unique flavors like chocolate and matcha tiramisu, which I'd love to try. I tried my friends' tea drinks and the tea flavor was prominent and tasted fresh. Would definitely recommend trying it out, and I will be back! ”
“ Very clean and nice service! They even let you sample some of the drinks Overall not my favorite boba place I think they have better lighter floral teas than strong black teas which are my preference. Likes: Golden leaf milk tea Ceylon black milk tea OK: Tieguayin milk tea Tirimisu series (I think i'm an outlier in this) Boba/pearls I think the tirimisu foam/ salted cheese foam could be sweeter/thicker Bumping up because my friends love this place! ”
“ My favorite thing about Macu Tea are their dessert drinks! They also offer a lot of your typical classic options but all of the drinks are great. The interior inside is clean and the service here is quick. However, the plaza they are located in is always crowded and it's hard to find parking. I'd be careful driving around in the plaza since people are always walking and circling around trying to find parking. Today I got their Matcha Tiramisu drink and enjoyed it. I usually try avoiding matcha at boba shops since they don't tend to make it properly, but I decided to give it a shot since it sounded interesting. The Matcha can definitely be stronger in taste, but the Tiramisu complemented the drink overall! I'm looking forward to coming back and trying their other drinks! You should definitely give Macu Tea a try if you are in the area! ”
“ Macu Tea has tons of options for milk tea, fruit tea, and fruit smoothie lovers! They're open a bit later than the other spots in the plaza, and the wait isn't as bad as Happy Lemon. Drinks mostly come in large. I was genuinely impressed with my drink and would consider revisiting, though it's not a place I think about coming back to much. CEYLON BLACK TEA LATTE: 4/5 ($5.75) + Very enjoyable drink! I find ceylon tea can sometimes lack in depth, but it tasted pretty good here + Boba had a nice chewy consistency ”
“ Macu in San Jose is definitely worth a stop! With a dozen teashops in this little plaza, a new addition really has to stand out, and I think Macu has what it takes to stick around. My honey likes their desert drinks, they use real fruits instead of artificial flavors. The boba was soft and fresh, and the drink wasn't overly sweet, just how I like it. I went for a fruit tea, and it was super refreshing with green tea jelly add-on. The staff was really friendly and didn't rush us, even though we took forever to decide (so many good options!). The shop has a clean, modern vibe, perfect for hanging out or grabbing a drink to-go. With so much competition in the area, Macu is doing it right. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu! ”
“ I've been here a handful of times now so thought I finally write a review - The service is so quick; even on busy weekends. Truly love the customer service, consistently good each and every time, which is one of the main reasons that made me a regular customer. Not usually a milk tea person, but this place is my ultimate go to- especially for their Green Milk Tea. It's super popular and I can definitely see why! I've been coming here at least once a week after discovering their green milk tea but wow, their honey boba is always so fresh and chewy, looking forward to trying their other drinks! ”
“ First time in Macu Tea even though several locations have opened in the South Bay. CHI-CHI TARO w/ FRESH MILK: This drink is blended milk and taro with their cheese topping. When i inquired about the sugar level, the staff let me know that no additional sugar was added. The drink turned out great. It was super smooth and the sweetness was perfect, i'd say it's about 50% sweetness. I feel like the cheese topping doesn't really add much to the drink, so i could do without it next time. Staff was friendly answering my questions regarding the drinks since it was my first time and there was no one behind me. It's pretty clean in the shop and there are several tables. They don't have a points reward system so that is unfortunate. I would come back for the se drink again! ”
