This has got to be the worst boba I had in my life. Seriously, 7$ for boba? Let alone boba that taste like sewer water? Honestly I wouldn't be here leaving a bad review on bad boba, but if you are going to price your bobas considerably higher on average, at least make it taste better. Can't even Meet the bare minimum. DONT GO

Nice place, but very overpriced. My daijo milk was great, but was $11.50 after tip.My family got the strawberry milk and mango matcha latte, and they were both way too sweet, with no option to reduce the sweetness.

Great spot in the San Rafael area for boba and snack items. They had something for everyone, even my husband who isn't big on tea.

My new favorite spot in San Rafael! It is amazing to have organic teas and dairy and the sbility to select your desired sweetness level, delicious combos and varieties, and fresh, healthy snacks. Such a treat!

I love having Kuma in the neighborhood! They have a great variety of drinks, and everything I have tried has been delicious (and so cute-- they put a smile on my face on the sweltering hot days this summer). Before Kuma, I never really had fruit drinks at boba places but now I have done a total 180 on them. The fruit flavored popping and fresh juices are so refreshing!I'm also glad that they have poke bowls and other snacks.Bonus: Their market up the street is a great thing to have in town for getting more Japanese drinks and snacks. So glad to have them in Marin county!

Very cool trendy place in Downtown San Rafael.Visiting from SoCal, and appreciate the variety of flavors/offerings that we see more often.Got their Honeycomb Coffee Latte which was truly special. The honeycomb topping has great texture and flavor. The cons were the price (quite high) and not able to adjust sweetness (this runs very sweet; I usually would want to get 50% sweetness). However it was fun to look at, taste, and savor- so overall greatly enjoyed it.We also tried their Earl Grey Tea 25% sweet which was nice. Their boba was also nice as well and not too sweet. They also offer Poke including multiple base options (of interest including soba noodles instead of rice), little ikura sushi-shaped cakes, and musubi.Overall a fun place to visit, try foods/drinks, as clearly the owners love what they do. Only reason why not a clear 5/5 is the price point and a good amount of drinks unable to change sweetness levels. But definitely would love to come back!

I like my boba on the softer side, it was overcooked when I got my drink which is how I prefer it. My drink was 100% sweetness yet when I took a sip of my drink, it definitely could have been sweeter. The store was really cute though and I liked the decorations inside!
I entered the store before closing time and when it was time for me to order one employee told me it was a minute to closing time and wasn't going to let me order

Kuma Cafe opened where Quickly's/Tuttimelon was. infrastructure similar. walls decorated with waves, logos, faux plants, menus...just a few tables..2 associates ready to take order. menu isn't transparent to lst time patrons. just picked a drink never drank. ordered. came out in 5ish minutes.offerings: poke bowl, iced coffee, snow shaved ice, special drinks, fruit drinks, hot drinks, organic hot tea, boba drinks, snacks.drink: lychee dragon fruit tea (L. 8.50) .50 surcharge for CC use under $10.-only description was lychee jelly-got less ice. sugar levels not adjustable. -drink is actually pretty tart, no sweetness. mystery of tartness origins.-lots of lychee jelly, 1 lychee fruit, no dragon fruit seen, just the seeds.-surmise pink color is from dragon fruit puree which is pricey.4ish stars. lst time getting a fruit tea that wasn't overly sweet. ymmy.drips:-drinks very innovative, not typical of the main boba chains and indy's.little info beyond the name of what's in the drink.-pricey. may be worth it given the unique ingredients. -definitely a place to try something new if one if willing to pay for it.*menu isn't organized well, not all in one spot either, difficult to comprehend. menu assumes patron is familiar with boba drinks.....

Horrible costumer service and could only taste the milk. Asked for a refund but couldn’t get it. Never again.
