Be careful with buying with cash at the front register other than their weekly cash drink. I was charged 7.50 for the persimmon slush drink (no size upgrades or anything) but the drink is 6.95. While the digital kiosk may charge a little higher, you’re better off paying there (and also there’s a 2-5pm weekday discount, which does not apply at the register). They also do not give you a receipt.
The drinks there are good. I’m just bummed that the one time I pay for a drink without card I get overcharged.

The drinks are outstanding, I typically use 0% sweetener and the drinks are so fresh, flavorful, and delicious (and not dependent on sweetener!)
They have many seasonal drinks that sometimes are out of stock but shows that they only keep fresh ingredients around!
I love their range of options and cute cups and decorations.

Taotaotea is one of my favorite boba stores in the Bay. My usual go to is the sexy pink lychee but this time I got their seasonal chestnut drink. The hot gardenia chestnut milk tea is great for the winter. There’s a slight floral flavor hint and the milk tea isn’t too sweet.
