Jasmine Kocha
3129 Meridian Ave, San Jose, CA
Crema's Take
“Jasmine Kocha is a charming spot where thoughtful tea craftsmanship meets playful hangout vibes, complete with foosball and Instagram-worthy florals that make it feel more like a friend's creative space than a typical boba shop. Their fruit teas shine with balanced, authentic flavors—the Peach Riddle is a standout—and they nail the milk-to-tea ratio that so many places get wrong, whether you're sipping hot or cold. It's the kind of place where the friendly staff remember your usual order and the cozy, game-filled interior makes you want to linger longer than you planned.”

It looks beautiful on the inside with a couple games, perfect spot for a small hangout with a couple friends. The tea was incredible, from first sip I knew I made a good choice in checking this place out. I got a classic milk tea at 50% sweet and it was perfect for me. The honey boba was super yummy, soft, and chewy. The customer service was above and beyond. The lady was so kind. They prefer you use cash but card is still accepted. Plenty of parking, part of shopping center. Definitely will come back with friends.
Love their milk tea both hot and cold. Smooth tea with good balance between milk and tea flavor. Smoothie needs to be more blended to be smoother because so much pieces of ice left. But mango smoothie with yogurt is comparable to mango lassi taste, pretty good. Also very yummy pandan waffle, soft, not overly sweet. Good price. Very nice staff. Quick service. Cute store.
7.5/10 Nice use of small space. First time here, ordered 25% definitely more of a 50% sweetness. Tried my sister's drinks and they were a bit better. Recommend the Peach riddle. It tastes more like green tea with lemon. At checkout it showed me options for tips starting at 15%. I don't know why you would tip. You can use custom tip to select a lower tip or 0. Overall alright for a last minute drink but not my favorite shop.
We usually get the tea to go. However today we went in and sit and had the tea. It was yummy as usual. I usually get fruit teas and all the time the fruit taste is on the point. Very friendly staff. Cool atmosphere and aesthetic.
