Pekoe
996 Lundy Ave, San Jose, CA
Crema's Take
“Pekoe is a late-night tea bar in San Jose with a stylish, bar-like atmosphere that makes it perfect for lingering with friends or catching up on work into the evening. While their boba quality can be inconsistent, their real strength lies in creative and unique flavor combinations—just ask the staff to dial in the sweetness level to your preference. The convenient parking and laid-back vibe keep locals coming back regularly, especially those seeking specialty drinks beyond the standard offerings.”

The space is nice, definitely leaning into the "bar" in tea bar. The best part is that it's open late. Drinks are more average but not priced unreasonably. Apparently most are made with syrup rather than fresh fruit.
boba quality is going downhill… today my boba was a giant ball that wasnt able to be separated even after trying to smash it down w a spoon. better off going to other boba spots that actually care about the quality
Haven't had Pekoe in a long time! Didn't realize there was one in this plaza (sharing same parking as King Eggroll). I ordered my usual drink at other boba shops. Passion fruit green tea, with boba, and half sugar. $6.50 + $0.95 for boba...definitely on the pricier side. All in all, good drink...but for the value, I might look to go elsewhere. Should be able to find parking in the plaza without an issue.
Pekoe is another one of my favorite Boba spot in the Bay Area. This one is Located right off of Lundy next to King Egg Roll. I often stop by this place at least two to three times a week! That is because it is about less than Ten minutes away from me. Their Menu is Simple. The Services are pretty quick. That is why I'm here Just in And Out Happy! So far I enjoyed my Strawberry Milk Tea (pretty in pink), Honey Dew, Jamine Green, TMT (Taro MilkbTea) Boba with Grass Jelly, Pekoe Special, Manly Melon, Kawaii, the Raspberry Baret, and the Pomstar. Yummy! Overall this place only sell Milk Teas, Fresh Fruit Teas, or Smoothies. I recommend trying them all!😋😆
Great interior, parking can be really tight at peak times. Flavor combos are unique and pretty great. Some are way too sweet, ask for a sample if your unsure and then have sweetness adjusted. Not a fan of the way they do tapioca, not sweet at all. Def good for boba.
