Thai tea is basic, it's reliable, but I wanted to be adventurous and try the green thai tea. I asked them what the difference was, and was told it was a little more floral but it's similar but different depending on who you ask. In my opinion, it was quite different from normal thai tea. It definitey was more floral, but still subtly floral in the general sense. I got it with less ice and 70% sweetness, which was perfect. I do love floral and strong tea tastes and this really hit the spot. It feels like it's high in caffeine content. Tasty! My friend had the coffee drink, which he liked. I tasted a little bit of sea salt in there. The inside of the eatery is pretty big, with an entire back area (where the bathroom is) that you might miss if you're just coming to grab a drink to go. It's a nice place to sit and have long chats with friends.

I miss the old workers that actually seem to care about their job and want to help you. The drink I ordered I wondered why I got stuff going to the back of my throat. Then I saw at the bottom of the drink that the tea wasn't filtered. Make societea great again perform quality checks and have a better quality control. My drink tasted so odd but I didn't want to go back in for just that because they were also closing soon. Even if it's end of the night quality of the drink should be the same throughout the business hours.

Jasmine milk tea with boba and grass jelly. 75% sweet. Very good, grass jelly was sweet which was surprising. 65 cents per topping. A bit steep at $7.xx. Not bad and convenient to grab a drink after kids swim lessons a few doors away.

I always passed by this place and thought they only sold teas or boba. Thankfully, I stopped by and tried out their sandwiches! The combination banh mi was packed with flavor, the pate was delicious and the pickled veggies balanced the richness from the flavors. The baguette was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Everything about the sandwich exceeded my expectations. I'll be returning to try out their other items on the menu.

Fav spot in the peninsula for popcorn chicken and milk tea! The workers are super friendly and drinks come out fast.My go to is the strawberry matcha latte and Thai green tea. It’s the perfect balance of creamy yet refreshing matcha flavor and the honey boba is perfect lightly chewy texture and not too sweet.

This is a cute little social eatery located in San Mateo Ave and has a little bit of everything! We usually get the Asian hot chicken sandwich which can get a little salty but with the radishes and some ranch, it's the perfect savory sandwich! I also love the tofu bowl extra saucy (for all my sauce lovers). Service can take around 5 minutes for an order of food but it quicker for drinks. Parking is easy to find with lots of parking lots surrounding the eatery!

Strawberry matcha and popcorn chicken. Had street parking only. It was a lot bigger than I thought, nice place to hang out. Service was great. Enjoyed the food and my drink. Will definitely come back to try out more options.
Happy these guys came to San Bruno. The drinks and food are great but the staff is the best of all! Love these guys!! I am hooked. My husband and I come almost every day. Thank you Societea for making your place my happy place!

Societea is a nice spot to grab some food and drinks and then hang out. The seating space is huge and can accommodate many people. I got a mangonada and it was quite delicious. They put in the right amount of chamoy. I will definitely be back. Overall, Societea is a cozy place to hang out with friends.

Thai basil had no flavor or basil. It taste like boiled chicken with soy sauce. Ambiance and service was good . Food needs more to be desired.

This is my 10th time at this place and it never disappointed, HOWEVER This time my black milk tea was very watery. I couldn't taste any milk/ creamer WHATSOEVER. When I asked if this is normal, there response was "you requested less sweet so that's why you don't taste the milk!!!!!"They were reluctant to help or offer any solution!!!!
