Mr. Sun Tea Cupertino

Stopped by for a quick boba with family. Easy parking. Quick kiosk ordering. Milk tea bobas were just ok. Taro was the better of the other 2. I think there is better boba in Cupertino.

REVIEW PREVIEWI am an extremely picky person and probably the most picky person you’ll ever meet. So 4 or 5 out of 5 or anything 7.5 or higher out of 10 is really an achievement for that restaurant. In that case, here is my review, by Nicolas!I would give this restaurant a 7.5/10!!!Even though it was cold and dark outside, it was warm inside Mr. Sun’s boba shack! I got the plain mango smoothie and oh my, it was pretty good! One thing though, is that the cashier/orderer was very slightly passive aggressive, which is hopefully because of the end of the day shift and although it is a reasonable and expectable occurrence, anyone can prevent it. That is why the service was 3/5. This was just one guy, and I’m sure other people are very nice. :)Next, the atmosphere and vibe was chill and cool. The bathroom was SUPER NICE AND CLEAN, and although I did not take a picture of it, it is coated in clean marble, tile, and has a high quality sink. But the toilet flush is loud, sadly. The main negative thing was the one little piece of service from that one guy, and the loud ice cream crusher that you can hear in the whole building. .Vegetarian options: There are milk and non-milk based drinksDietary restrictions: There are sorbet, non-milk, and other ingredients you can choose to remove to make a more customized and allergen-free Boba, smoothie, or drink.Kid-friendliness: This is basically a liquid ice cream shop, this is super kid friendly, and there are often kids thereWheelchair accessibility: It can be slightly difficult maneuvering a wheelchair between the seating area, but there is a ramp and outdoor seating. However, it can be a struggle for a wheelchair to be inside the restaurant other than where you order.

I’m not a fan of having to order from a touch screen, seeing the grime on the screen is even worse. I know the staff is busy but zero customer service and a machine asking for a tip is crazy. Maybe it was an off day but the powdered smoothie mix irritates my throat. I know a few places that use real taro and honey boba that’s actually healthier for you.Kid-friendliness: A few arcade games and seating.

A place that I save,For every weekend to come.A staple for me, An unknown place for some.Their flavored handmade boba,It's such a treat!From strawberry to mango,And a brown sugar you can't beat!But why have one,When you can have all? So get the rainbow boba, have yourself a ball!While your taste buds dance,Head over to the games!My favorite is the four player Pac-Man,A cute allegory for this domain.

It had been awhile since I last had Mr. Sun so I went last week with a friend to see how it compared to my usual spots. We came around 12:30pm on a Monday and it was completely empty. There's a decent amount of parking, and a handful of tables inside. I tried the osmanthus oolong tea latte and I've definitely never had anything like it. It was super floral and I had one of those kombucha girl moments, unsure how I felt about it. Ultimately I decided I did like it, but it did remind me of the one caveat about this spot: drinks are very sweet. I completely forgot, but was quickly reminded that Mr. sun drinks fall on the sweeter side of the spectrum, but this is easily remedied if you just adjust the sweetness. I've heard good things about the the mr. sun mango drink and may come back to try.
