R&B Tea - San Jose
929 Story Rd, San Jose, CA
Crema's Take
“R&B Tea is a sprawling multi-concept space in San Jose that combines three shops under one roof, offering plenty of room to settle in with a laptop or meet friends. Their green Thai tea is genuinely stellar—balanced with just the right sweetness and tea flavor—and the hibiscus tea is equally noteworthy, making this a solid destination if you're serious about specialty tea drinks rather than just boba. The newly decorated space, crispy fried chicken, and ability to order from multiple vendors in one visit give it a relaxed, convivial vibe, though the self-serve kiosk ordering system isn't everyone's cup of tea.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

I think they have one of the best green thai tea around the area. Just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. I get it with half ice and half sweet. My wife likes the hibiscus tea they have here. Overall, there is plenty of space and seating. You order by a kiosk and then…
The place is beautifully decorated with brand new furniture. The fried chicken and mozzarella sticks are crispy and tasty. The drinks have a strong tea flavor and aren’t too sweet, so it’s better to order them with 100% sugar. Otherwise, they can taste a bit bitter. => It’s…
They were 3 big stores combined: R&B, Sweet Box and one other I didn’t remember the name. Hence, this shop was really big with spacious seatings. You can order items from any of the 3 stores from the same kiosk, take the ticket and go to the respective shops to get your orders.…
