Tiffany TaylorOctober 29, 2014I heard that their drinks are very sweet even if you make it light, so I got a "no sweet" lychee-strawberry green milk tea w/ honey boba. Yum! If you don't like super sweet drinks, I recommend this!
Max NiuJanuary 9, 2014They don't give you much boba, but the flavor selection is top notch. Don't be thrown by the bevy of options. Almond and coconut with orange popping boba will do you right for a start.
John Chris CanilaoOctober 23, 2017I go here almost every week and their service is always good! However sometimes they can get stingy with their boba but that's understandable since they are always busy because of their great service.- Vivek NairAugust 15, 2018Choice overload. Usually super sweet so I avoid sweetener. Black milk tea with boba is the base of choice. Lines can be long on weekends and after school gets out. No bathroom. Minimal seating.
- Free upgrades on Tuesdays. My favorite is pumpkin spice, vanilla, and caramel BMT with very light sweetness. Check their fridge for deals on premade drinks
- Jane MarqueMarch 27, 2013Their Blackberry passion boba tea is amazing! I also recommend coconut almond black milk tea and taro milk tea...but u can't go wrong with whatever I get!
Hands down the best boba in SF. Get two flavors like blackberry cherry to make it tasty. Low sugar is sugary enough, trust me.
Leeki LegoOctober 15, 2013Sooo good! The boba is super sweet and you can get three different flavors in your drink! I got blackberry pomegranate and mango yyuummmm 💕
PeggyJuly 3, 2016The honey boba was too soft, squishy, and sweet. Both the consistency and taste reminded me of gummy bears. (I like gummy bears, but not for boba to taste that way.)
They really dupe you. They don't fill your cup all the way to the top, and they put in a meager amount of boba. I asked for extra boba and they said they "don't do extra boba anymore." What??
Retro QueenApril 9, 2013Fruit Flavored Teas! Mix up to 3 different flavors in one cup. Order like this: 1)what size you want 2)what flavor 3)type of tea 4) how sweet you want it 5) with boba or not and 6) your name.
Kenny KhuuJune 7, 2018Tried the passion green tea. Passion flavor didn’t taste much like it and the tea was light/watery. Honey boba had a decent chew and sweetness to it. 2.75/5
Maya ShanmugamJune 1, 2017All of the fruit flavored bobas are extremely sweet! Definitely recommend going low on the sweetness level
Alicia ZMarch 7, 2017They usually have a daily tea for you to sample. Overly sweet at 100%, so I usually go for 50%.
Alice D.March 5, 2013Monday night, near closing, the wait was about 40 mins. Totes worth waiting 30 mins, 45 maybe, definitely not 1hr. You're good in line if you're in or close to the door!
Pei KetronJanuary 23, 2014Fantastic boba, but waaaaaay too sweet, even when you ask for it to be light on the sweetness.- ajSeptember 5, 2015their boba is subpar, especially when you place a big catering order.undercooked and/or overcooked.and the tea isnt great enough to explain the lines this place has??i rather go to teaway or supercue
djbMarch 13, 2013If you want to avoid the hour long wait here's a tip… go to any of the othe 5 bubble tea places that are only 1-2 blocks away. There is also one across the street from Tpumps. No waiting.
Michael JettNovember 16, 2014Black tea. Normal sweet. Passion, strawberry, pomegranate. Extra boba. Do it.
Beware of local students who come here after school. The line can get really long!- The sweetness levels are very high. Get less sweetness than you think
Iris NgMarch 2, 2013Wait to the line was 1 hr and another 15min to get drink in Friday afternoon. GT lite sweet with boba is good! But not worth the wait! Place is poorly ventilated/stuffy and no seating, but one bench.- They sell milk tea here. They also have boba. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Best boba place I have ever been to in my entire life.
Calster1 LApril 7, 2013Not sure why this place is always crowded ... all these Asian youths love this place. It's good but not worth an long wait. Smelled like sour decaying spilled boba drink last time I was there.
Evgeniy DankovtsevApril 26, 2015Bad copy of boba joint. Almost no tea flavor and too sweet even with "light" sweetness. For good milk tea head to the other side of GG park - sharetea and purplekow are much better.- Upgrade to the pumpbo size (that I've never had) for free on Tuesday
WillJuly 27, 2013Go to wonderful foods instead for more authentic milk tea and no waiting among kids
they kinda skimp out on the boba and honestly it's a bit overrated, but hey, maybe they're just saving us the calories
Finally, the best city ever has a T Pumps.. best boba thus far!
Long Duk DongSeptember 22, 2014Don't buy the hype. This place is no better than the other boba places.
