Breaktime Tea - San Jose

Best service, food and place ever

Great milk tea but can get busy since it's close to SJSU

"The best boba place near SJSU, though it might not reach S-tier milk tea quality, it's certainly good enough for a pick-me-up. Conveniently located close to campus, right across from MLK, and reasonably priced. Both the food and drinks are solid, and they offer free Wi-Fi. Service is typically efficient; the longest I've waited for an order is 12-15 minutes, mainly because I always order fries, which take a bit longer. Here are my ratings: - Passion Fruit Green Tea: 5/5 My go-to drink! It tastes the same as anywhere else I've had it. I usually go for 75% sweetness and less ice. If you enjoy passionfruit and sweet teas, it's definitely worth a try. - Curly Fries: 5/5 These fries are unexpectedly amazing. They're perhaps the best snack on the menu. They have a fantastic aroma and are always served piping hot. The crunch and flavor are outstanding, and the portions are generous, making them perfect for sharing. Highly recommended. - Popcorn Chicken: 5/5 The popcorn chicken is typically dusted in Cajun spice, but I ordered mine without spice due to my low tolerance for heat. It comes with a side of sauce. The crunch is delightful, and the taste is decent overall. It's a filling option and great for sharing, though I personally prefer the fries. In summary, this is a fantastic spot to grab a snack and hang out. I wholeheartedly recommend it!"

Been a regular customer at this place for years. Their drinks are good, their food is good. The only downsides are whenever you order food, it would take much longer than if you order drinks so just keep that in mind. There are also random rush hours around 2PM on weekdays since that's when a lot of students get out of classes and stop by to get a drink. I've tried most of their food items, i would say the mozarella cheese sticks, popcorn chicken, and lobster balls stood out to me the most. In the picture I have the Teriyaki Salmon on Rice (first food item on menu) and mango milk tea with crystal boba. This rice bowl actually blew my mind away because it's such a good option for when you don't know what to eat for lunch but want something to get near SJSU area, portion and price are both reasonable. As for takoyaki in the video, they're ok - I've had better ones from T4 sorry. Their drinks are not EXCELLENT but they are good throughout and I wouldn't have to worry about trying a new drink and getting disappointed here. Still decided to give 5 stars because of their consistency, never had a time where I was super disappointed by either customer service or the quality of food & drinks.

I always stop by here whenever I'm in the area.

The girls are so friendly and bubbly. Quick customer service and great food and drinks! Got the butterfly lemonade with mango stars
