7 Leaves Cafe
1743 Berryessa Rd, San Jose, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Berryessa outpost brings Southern California's favorite boba destination to the Bay Area, earning loyal devotion for consistently smooth classics like their Matcha Soy and Mung Bean Milk Tea that pair perfectly with creative signature drinks. The welcoming team goes the extra mile—they'll happily let you camp out with your dog while you wait for a ride, and their mobile app sweetens the deal with surprise bonus perks that keep regulars coming back. Fair warning: their drinks lean sweet, so customize to taste, but once you dial in your preferences, you'll understand why this casual spot has become woven into the neighborhood's daily rhythm.”

Consistent and affordable milk tea spot in the Berryessa area. Drinks are on the sweeter side so definitely lower the sweetness level. Their mobile app comes with many perks and surprise bonus deals like happy hours or BOGOs which I have taken advantage of many times. They also have a set of secret drinks on their app too! Also a decent place to study because of the atmosphere – wooden tables and chairs and plenty of space to work. I always get their Thai Tea with honey boba and it has never failed me. Their Thai tea is sweet but still has the signature Thai spice taste. Their boba is always cooked to perfection – not too firm but with great chewiness and slightly al dente. Paired with sea salt cream, you can taste slight notes of salt every few sips along with additional creaminess. Their oolong milk tea at 50% sweetness is also great – it’s sweet with the earthiness of oolong. On a day where I need caffeine, I always get the black and tan (50% sweetness) which is a combination of their house coffee infused with jasmine tea. You can definitely taste the caffeine from their house coffee but also the floral notes from the jasmine tea. Their House coffee is slightly misleading in my opinion - it’s super sweet and only has a touch of caffeine flavor that is subtle. The caffeine doesn’t affect me like other coffee places do. Their assam black milk tea is their generic black milk tea drink. Milk and sugar, nothing beyond that. What makes them different from other milk tea shops is their Mung bean milk tea. It has the slight earthiness and nuttiness of mung beans with granules and flakes of mung beans in the drink. At less sweetness level this drink with boba is enjoyable but definitely an acquired taste.
Very great customer service. Bit standee in Berryessa station waiting for a car ride 30 min away. I called ahead to see if they were ok with me waiting with my dog and they said they were! Very thankful to be able to wait were it was nice and warm and accommodating. Got myself a honey latte and my partner a strawberry hibiscus tea.
What's not to love about 7 Leaves? They are for sure one of my top boba spots that came up from SoCal and I'm glad to finally check out their first Norcal location after all this time. Their tea selection is limited and uses real tea leaves to brew their drinks, making me a huge fan. I always get their Oolong Milk Tea (with soy milk - appreciate the non-dairy option) at 50% sugar and it always smashes. Their drinks combined with chewy, soft boba makes them always a perfect treat for me whenever I'm in the Bay. The shop is spacious and looked like a popular spot for students to hang out or do some work. Plenty of tables and chairs for all sorta of lounging around. Plenty of plaza parking available as well.
7 Leaves Cafe on Berryessa Rd is more than just a go-to for boba—it’s a familiar stop woven into community routines. The Matcha Soy, Mung Bean Milk Tea, and House Coffee are consistently smooth and flavorful, with customizable sweetness and ice levels that make each visit feel personal. The Strawberry Hibiscus adds a refreshing, fruity twist, perfect for warmer days or post-event cooldowns. For volunteers coordinating the NCAVAD Annual Dental Charity Event, this spot becomes a quiet reward after hours of setup, parking logistics, and guiding families through services. Ordering drinks here has become a small tradition—fueling the team while keeping things light and energized. The space is clean, the service is quick, and the vibe is relaxed enough to reset before the next round of tasks.
Loving these 7 Leaves Cafe!!! They got various Locations in the Bay Area. Great Authentic Refreshments Drinks, pastries, Macaroons, Ice creams, and Desserts. Great for this warm summer California Weathers!!!!! Spacious Indoor seatings area. Plenty of people stop by to Chills, Relax, and hangout on their Laptops. Nice place for any Gatherings. Many other shops in this plaza. Hello Spring Sunshines!!!!🌸🙃🌞2025
