Tealyfe - San Jose

This is a nice place to get some unique drinks! We ordered: a coffee drink, fruity JCB, lavender oat matcha (seasonal), a chocolate cookie and a matcha strawberry cookie. JCB stands for Jasmine Cold Brew.I had the fruity JCB and you could taste the jasmine which is nice because sometimes with fruit teas, the base tea flavor gets lost. So it tasted like jasmine tea plus some fruit flavors. I believe it was strawberry and mango, but I may remember incorrectly. It was refreshing.My sister had the lavender oat matcha, and you could really taste the lavender and matcha. So if you like both of those, you'll like this drink.The baristas were very friendly and informative. They offered to warm the cookies for us, and I recommend it! They came out soft and warm. The chocolate one is a chocolate lover's dream. It has chocolate all throughout; it's not just chocolate chips. The matcha strawberry was also soft. The strawberry flavor was stronger than the matcha.It was definitely worthwhile to stop here and get some drinks!

Very nice and friendly staff here. I like their jasmine milk tea but 50% sugar is a bit sweet to me.

I got the strawberry jasmine which I liked, though I'd get it less sweet next time. Their boba texture is pretty good, wish they gave a little more of it though. My bf got the strawberry horchata which he liked (I'm not a fan of overt cinnamon taste). Cute little seating area!Food: 5/5

The store is very hipster, so I can see why a lot of youngsters like to come here. I ordered their strawberry hibiscus with 50% sweetness. I normally do 25%, but it said it wasn't recommended. At 50% sweetness, it was perfect for me because the drink was a bit tart from the strawberries! Highly recommend it if you're looking for something less sweet, but not in the mood for milk tea.

Milk tea is alright. The honey boba is also only alright. Probably should try something with the Vietnamese Coffee which seems to be their specialty.
