Adam MoreMay 11, 2016This is the place to go if you are looking for awesome tea in the city. I don't think it can be beat! Everything is good here.
The best boba in town. Also, serves delicious matcha and oat milk! Lines get longer later in the day. Mornings are best and don't forget - Mondays are closed!
the boba sundae is amazing - tapioca, jelly and ice cream all in one cup. they normally sell out of these by the evening
Jane L.February 23, 2020Probably offers the best quality boba tea in the world. I only wish the tea could be a little lighter. If you ask for almond milk and less sugar in the classic milk tea, it can taste a little strong.
Jaqueline RizoMay 22, 2018Only the best! You can find a quite long queue to buy, but it worths the price. Totally!
- The signature horchata milk tea is very sweet for me (you can't change the sweetness). Service is very good & the people are friendly. The kaya toast is AMAZING and very authentic - definitely try it!
Alexandra ParedesMay 24, 2017Beware Boba balls are available after 10:00am. Tried the coconut green tea with 25% sweetness and a scone. Delicious!
Tim PursellJuly 16, 2015I love squishing tapioca pearls as they pop through the straw. God bless Southeast Asia for inventing such a giggle producing drink that comes in unnatural shades of green and pink. Banzai!
Alex RiesApril 25, 2022Definitely a great boba shop! Their specialties are all great.I took the lavender tonic Matcha and it was unique and special in all the right ways. Strawberry Matcha is a MUST.
Come early to beat the afternoon lines, but their boba isn’t available until after 10 am (despite opening at 9 am).
Love Bobaguys. Fresh ingredients and an interesting take on a favorite treat. The HK Milk Tea is always a good choice if you like it sweet and a little heavy.
Jess MireauApril 24, 2016I didn't know bubble tea could could get any better 'til I had the iced strawberry matcha latte with tapioca.
Atef ChaudhuryJuly 17, 2017Matchata is more of an aesthetic drink, good for a photo, but try something else if you want pure taste.
Ryan LeggettAugust 20, 2016Everything is delicious. Totally worth the wait, but definitely less crazy if you come late morning. Don't miss the Kaya toast!
Shannon DonnellyMarch 8, 2018Their specialities are fun to try out! We tried the Strawberry Matcha Latte (left) and the Strawberry Jasmine Fresca (right) 😻
Jenya SMarch 25, 2016Love that you are in control of how sweet you want your tea. You can have anything between 0% to 100% sweet - awesome!
Everything is wonderful! I always get the decaf black with soy milk & boba.- If you live or work nearby, mention that you do for a 10% neighborhood discount.
Josh FerraraMay 9, 2018If you like boba tea, you’re going to love this. Bring some friends and try a few different items!
CamillaApril 20, 2016Guys! This is so good.. I was sceptic going in, but I ordered the Coffee Milk Tea, and its delicious!
Sahar ASeptember 1, 2018If you go in the evening (after 17:00), plan on a long line. Took about 45-min to order and get my Mango Matcha w/ Boba.
Ting SDecember 4, 2015They do have very good designs of their decorations, cups, and other things, good job. Rose milk tea is great.
This new location has a tea station where you can learn about and try teas! (which the Mission location doesn't have)
Justin TsuiNovember 30, 2014Don't be shy about asking for recommendations. They're spot on and if you don't like it, you can swap for another!- Loved the Hojicha milk tea! The pearls here are also really good and have nice texture.
John Freddy VegaAugust 29, 2015Stop. Ask for Dirty Horchata. Cry for a couple of minutes while you're thankful for being alive to enjoy such a thing. Drink it cold.
Alexandra KellyJuly 17, 2015Dirty horchata: delicious cinnamon rice milk with a layer of espresso on top. It tastes better if you don't mix it, so the coffee flavor seeps in slowly.
@krishaamerNovember 1, 2017Best boba I’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious 😋 Try the strawberry jasmine tea mix 👌
Nitzan BSeptember 6, 2019You can always trust the boba guys to have some good milk tea and special flavors
It's kind of a secret menu thing—The Jazzcat. It's grapey and sweet and I'd recommend it.- Boba is delicious, perfectly chewy, and good ratio. Don't get the pandan jelly here though...
Eugene AeroFebruary 16, 2015Matcha latte, 50% sweetness: too sweet for me, but otherwise 7. Indian chai, 25% sweetness: better sweetness but prefer Matcha 7.- The premium lychee green tea at 50% sweetness is where it's at.
Darshan RangnathAugust 10, 2015With offering Horchata & Boba in a cup, no wonder these guys are named the best in SF.
24oz. Iced Hong Kong Style Milk Tea. The guys on duty are friendly!
I don't even like Earl Grey tea, tried one iced, and now I'm converted. So good!
Waited in a long line only to get the wrong order (dairy milk instead of oat milk, sweetened instead of unsweetened) Unorganized and not worth the wait. Would only go back with a shorter line.
_June 6, 2017Tried this place multiple times and am still not a fan. Everything taste either overly sweet or very watery regardless of what level of sweetness you order.
