“Boba was pretty tasty. The texture of the pearls was on point (chewy and bouncy). The pearls were also adequately sweet and not bland. They did also give generous portions of boba too, and the only downside was that they added a little too much syrup to the milk tea which made the drinks sweeter. Not too overpowering though. The strawberry Fresca was perfect as it was sweet but not overpowering like at other locations. Overall a nice experience too because you can order so many different food items to pair with your boba and the place was well lit and cheery. Also 3 tables with seating to eat at.“
“I've been a customer at the Northgate Aloh-o, but only recently discovered their Strawberry restaurant, which is conveniently located right next to Safeway. Today I ordered a boba tea on their website but when I got there to pick it up, I realized they'd gotten the order wrong (not a big deal) I was okay with the substitute .. however the guy working tonight was so kind & polite. He went the extra mile and made me another boba free of charge! Thank you“

“Lovely little restaurant, amazing place for bento boxes. We tried a chicken katsu bento with a spicy tuna roll, edamame, wakame, gyoza and white rice. The chicken was made to perfection, moist on the inside and not dry at all. We tried boba strawberry milk and Thai iced tea which were great as well. The owner Yoyo was extremely friendly and accommodating, she is a ray of sunshine that makes this restaurant an absolute gem of a place that you'd want to visit again and again.“
“Super cute spot with great boba and friendly staff. I’ve had the brown sugar milk tea and the mango sticky rice inspired drink which is amazing and so unique and fun! Easy to order on the kiosk and quick service.Dietary restrictions: They don’t use powdered mixes so you can get the drinks dairy free with alternative milks“
“We came here on New Years Day and they were packed as you would expect. They were very kind and accommodated our 6 person table as quickly as they could. For such a casual eatery the food is immaculate. Nothing I've eaten here as disappointed on portion or flavor. Their Tom yum noodles with crispy chicken are something I craze frequently. Their Garlic Noodles are so flavorful! I have been back and will continue coming back here!“

“My favorite place for dessert in San Francisco. I love these crepes so much! The staff are so friendly and have creative hands/minds. The crepes are always made fresh and topped with fresh delicious fruit and ice cream. Yum yum!Vegetarian options: Delicious!“
“This place is the sweetest! The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. Their menu has the most interesting match-ups. Cocoa Bomb vs Avocado Sago turned out to be a classic! The Avocado Sago is truly fabulous!!!Their Signature Fruit Tea is tasty and refreshing.“
“I am not the biggest fan of boba, and it's not my go to treat, however, the caramel vanilla boba option we had at a large corporate event caught my eye and I ended up trying one. To my delight, this was so delicious, just a perfect amount of sweetness. I really can't get used to the tapioca pieace in boba, but I was able to enjoy a few, and really just drank the milk tea. It was the perfect afternoon pick me up.“
“Hands down like my favourite place I have ever been for matcha. The soft serve was sooo creamy and the perfect ratio of matcha! The store is pretty small but it's so adorable because the doors are open and you can feel the breeze while you're inside. The cone is DELICIOUS and the service is good! Not a very long line when I was there.“
“The most innovative vegetarian food on Haight Street - at lower than average prices (for San Francisco). I’m a fan.Vegetarian options: Tofu scramble is hearty with generous portions; better than most.Parking: Metered parking out front, free street parking along panhandle one block away.“
“Consistently good drinks with unique seasonal offerings. I’ve been coming to this place for years, and it’s become one of my go-to’s in the city. Recently, I went and ordered 3 of the new drinks on the menu for my friend and I to try. I added boba to 1 of the drinks but later found out it wasn’t included. I didn’t realize while I was still at the place because the drinks were put into a to-go bag. I’m a little disappointed since I paid extra for the boba. I’ll still come back of course, but I’ll double check that my drinks are correct.“
“Quality almond milk oolong boba tea with a fancy interior and good seating area. You can self order, which is super convenient, or if you prefer, you can order with the friendly barista as well. There seems to be a tea bar at the back, which I presume to have a tea master that is able to explain the various selections if you are curious, but I did mot explore that part so can't really speak to it.“
“great original refreshing drinks that you can control the sugar level of. (i often order a bunch of drinks for dessert after family meals) good pandan waffles most importantly, they are the only place in SF with kickass durian shakes only thing is i hate waiting until they open at noon on the weekends. (11am would be perfect - i'm insanely thirsty after class ends at 11am and hate killing an hour of my saturday until they open) if you have coffee on your menu, open up before noon“
“Genuinely surprised that I could still find a drink (+ topping) for less than $4.50, so I really consider it a steal. We just got a classic Assam milk tea + boba and honestly stumbled upon it because it was the closest shop within walking distance (and still open) from the restaurant we ate at. Is it the best drink or boba I've ever had? Definitely not, but it's also not towards the bottom of the scale. I have to say the price to quality ratio is just stellar. The inside was quite big, looks like they have it set up for people to work and hangout there. It wasn't crowded though, probably because we went pretty close to closing time.“
“A new coffee shop has opened on Clement Street. I have tried their green tea mochi flight and ice dopo panna latte. Initially, I chose the strawberry flavor, but I did not enjoy it. However, I tried the vanilla flavor on my second visit and found it to be quite good. It was not overly sweet and paired well with the ube white chocolate mochi. The combination of sweet and slightly bitter flavors was delightful. I highly recommend this establishment. It will likely become my go-to spot when shopping at the nearby Asian market.“
“If you’re looking to get some yummy fresh boba tea then choose Teaspoon! I was impressed for my first time here.Drinks: The boba teas were fresh and light. They both tasted just right, not too sweet, and with great flavors. We tried the taro milk tea and the dirty ube and we would highly recommend both!Atmosphere: It was a charming little place with indoor and outdoor seating available. The place wasn’t too crowded as well and staff were friendly and welcoming.Price: Normal price for these quality drinks! You get what you pay for.Parking: Parking is found in the parking lot area outside of the many shops/restaurants. You don’t have to pay for it either.“
“There was a missing item from my delivery (I think it was a delivery driver problem and not the store's fault), and the manager Samantha was AMAZING she went above and beyond to make sure things were fixed. I really appreciate it, she called me multiple times to make sure the situation was “
“Delicious! I love fruit teas over milk ones and I got the kumquat passion fruit (made with green tea by deafult) with boba and grass jelly — so lovely. Got it half sweet and it’s perfect. Think full sweet would be too much. Lots of seating here. Would come again and recommend!“
“Guys that was amazing. 10/10 I highly recommend the pork belly Bahn Mi. I requested not to get the jalapeños. Next time I think I would ask to remove the cilantro since there was quite long pieces in there. The service was super quick and the staff were polite. Thank you for a wonderful experience.“
“As a Taiwanese I approve of this! The boba is very good and the tea is also very good. There's a combo deal for medium hk milk tea with an egg waffle. We had lychee oolong and hk milk tea with an egg waffle. The waffle is also good. Light and fluffy. They made it right after ordering which makes the crust crunch.“
“Glad to find this place. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of their offering and even their service. Well I don't really like coffee drinks that have flavorings in them. I was pretty hungry and was almost about to order one when I saw that they had more extensive boba type menu. And I ordered the taro drink which had a combination of fresh taro milk and kind of the artificial taro milk mixture. You can see that they have different layers and it looks pretty nice. I would go back and try the other boba things. The staff were pretty nice and willing to answer my questions about what was in their drinks.“
“lady luck coffee is a small drink shop in chinatown that serves coffee and boba. definitely more of a takeout spot than a sit-down cafe. the employee working at the time was very sweet and friendly when answering questions about the drink.// iced vanilla latte with whole milk ($5.50) //the latte came in a cute rounded boba cup. it had a good balance of vanilla and espresso.it was sweet, but not too much; i asked and the employee said the drinks here are not too sweet (or as sweet as starbucks) so i did not modify the sweetness.we took our drinks to go and drank them in a nearby park. i enjoyed my drink and would return. prices are reasonable for SF.“
“Very tech-centric chain complete with the satanic symbol III menu screens in your face. I guess they’re required to tell you who they are? Best croque monsieur we’ve ever had. Even past 11pm it tasted fresh with perfectly melty cheese.Wish there was an option to make the juices WITHOUT jasmine green tea, which ends up making them taste like a urinal cake instead of fresh juice. Ew.“
“I got the matcha latte with oat meal and it was quite creamy and had good matcha taste. I added boba and I absolutely love boba guy's boba! It is perfectly chewy and soft, as well as coated in honey which makes it sweet. I like that you are able to adjust the milk at no extra cost. One thing I didn't like was that the cashier did not ask me if I wanted toppings, milk alternative, sugar adjustments, ice adjustments or which size; so I ended up getting (default) small instead of large because it had slipped my mind when I was telling her all my adjustments. Otherwise the drink itself was very good! Their boba is solid and they have interesting drink flavors like banana milk. They also have a good amount of seating instead if you're looking for a nice place to hang around.“
“Loved the mango boba with red beans ❤️So delicious and comforting, what’s more is that I paid the price of 1 for 2 with their special discount that day . Too bad there’s no branch here in the L.A. area .Dietary restrictions: With the customized ordering, you can opt to reduce the sugar in your boba drink, I only had 50% of the amount of sugar for my calorie limit. So that’s really great and my boba tasted so yummy , my hubby had one too?“
“Got the assam float which is black tea base and vanilla ice cream (one of their more popular drinks) and added tapioca boba. The subtle bitterness of the black tea went very well with the sweet ice cream and Boba. $8.25 for a large and add-ons were very reasonably priced.Service was fast and very nice asking questions. The store itself is located in a slightly awkward location and there is only standing room to order. It is a place to grab a drink but not necessarily to stay at.“
“I visited in January 2023 and I'm in love with the look of the shop on the outside! Tucked away in a little unassuming alleyway in Chinatown. I love how quaint the atmosphere is in here, and the interior is just as clean and nice! Recommend the Matcha green tea with grass jelly. So satisfying to energize you for a long walk up and down the hilly streets. Delicious. Can't wait to visit again someday!“
“Me and my friends ordered Boba tea from zero&. They have an amazing selection of items that you can customise based on your own preferences. I love the coconut, mango tea and the ube taro tea, so flavourful and pretty inexpensive. Their service was very quick and I didn’t have to wait more than 10 minutes before I got my “
“Wonderfully authentic milk teas etc..boba perfect..always remember you but now Yvonne is down in financial district shop..have not been there but here on Geary..it’s the best tea around..try the salty whip cream as well..very well done! Recc. highly..“
“Placed my order at the self-order kiosk at 11:33, walked out the door with my two banh mi (traditional and chicken) 12 minutes later. Very fast and efficient. I asked for no cilantro and extra veg and they kindly obliged very delicious chicken sandwich! The bread to meat to vegetables ratio is my ideal. I love that the bread isn’t thick and dry. I would highly recommend!“
“There is something magical about fresh warm bread and cold picked vegetables. I got teriyaki chicken which was delicious. Also tried the bbq pork which was pretty good. Unlike some bahn mi places they didn't overdo the sauces. Will be back! It's a perfect meal after a hike.“
