“I had the Jasmine Apple Green Tea and I thought it was tasty. The diced apples was a refreshing experience. My husband got the summer melon drink and didn’t quite enjoy it but the store was accommodating and let him exchange it for something else.
The atmosphere was minimalist and very cutesy.“

“A terrific little shop in the midst of busy Chinatown. From the outside you would not suspect there is that much space inside but there are 4 tables inside.
Delicious boba drinks! It seemed like they add actual fruit inside to give it a delicious taste. The boba is perfectly balanced in texture. Plant milk options include almond and oat, but unfortunately they have a $0.60 surcharge.
Friendly and quick service.
Would go again.“

“Bought the passion fruit tea. A good drink for a hot day, pretty refreshing and sweeter. The ambience is pretty nice with 2 tables and bar stools. They have some cute products on the side. Cute Chinese decorations. It is also next to the fortune cookie store so it is perfect while someone wait in line and get some drinks here!“

“Good Boba place in the area. There are a lot of options and many add-ons and flavors to make your drink taste wonderful. Workers are friendly and patient. Wish this place is closer to my home.“

“I absolutely loved this place! The milk tea was perfectly balanced — rich and creamy but not overly sweet — and the pearls were soft and chewy with just the right texture. I also tried their desserts, and they were such a pleasant surprise: fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. It’s definitely one of the best spots I’ve been to for milk tea and sweet treats. I’ll be coming back again and again!“

“I’ve definitely been gatekeeping this place for too long and i want it to do well so here goes my review! BEST BOBA /TEA IN OAKLAND!
You know the tea is good when it literally has a tea leaf shop. All the drinks are made with the same tea leaves from the tea shop which makes this place so special. Prices are still reasonable (but even if they raise it I won’t be mad). I usually get their dragonwell milk tea and finally ventured into a pineapple fruit tea and it was just as delightful. Menu is massive but I doubt you can go wrong with anything.
They also serve cute Hong Kong style street snacks like curry fishballs and fish siu mai as well as rice noodle rolls in sauce. I got a drink, noodles and siu mai today and it was $18 with tip.
Cannot praise this place enough! The only somewhat downside is that it can take a while for your drink to be made but I like to believe it’s because they brew each drink with fresh tea leaves, none of that instant powder or pre brewed large batch of tea!“

“Very delicious. The Pandan waffle had so much Pandan flavour! It was like traveling in Southeast Asia. Staff is friendly, the Banh Mi was great too, and I absolutely loved the Thai tea (they don't make it as sweet as other stores which ia great). Will come again when traveling bay area again.“

“it is small shop which touch screen kiosk to order near Oakland Chinatown. Practically you have to wait for the person in front of you finish their order before you get it. it might fit max 4 to 5 people. There are plenty option from the menu. You can choose sweet option.
The drink is pretty good. The price is reasonable.“

“came from sf for the love and deepspace collab! we got the caleb (apple oolong) and sylus (grapefruit) drinks. caleb tasted kinda sandy but there were five million people in the store, so no worries. both really tasty still. i recommend 100% sweet. good luck to the workers because there were a lot of whiny people you guys are the best 😭👍“

“The tea here is good compared to other tea shops in the area. The milk and sugar doesn't overwhelm the tea. The shop is decorated with anime figures but there's no seating in the shop. Ordering is through just 1 kiosk, but our tea order of 4 was prepared in a timely manner. Parking was not a problem on a Tuesday afternoon.“
“Why can’t all boba be like this. So flavorful, loaded with perfectly diced fresh fruit. Boba was absolutely perfectly cooked. In a city full of disappointing boba, with “fruit teas” that routinely contain little fresh fruit, this is an absolute standout. So glad I found it, and will definitely be back to try a mango smoothie!!“

“My daughter looked up BTSeveents and since we were going to be I SF, we decided to have a sweet treat there. I got the lemon dragon fruit with 25%sweetened and 75%ice and it was perfect on these rare warm SF day.“
“The Longan Lime Green Tea is what you want :) It’s not a common combination I see which is why I ordered it - was pleasantly surprised! It’s slightly sweet yet refreshing.
Quiet for a Friday evening around 6pm but don’t let that turn you away! Staff is friendly. Cash and card accepted both at the kiosk and the counter register. Limited seating inside and no bathroom.“

“When I visited, the store had no seating and had closed their restrooms to customers, not sure if this is a usual thing. I ordered from an iPad, I liked that it had photos & an in-depth description of all the different tea options. My friend got the Oreo Matcha & I got the Lil’ Giraffe. It was pretty good, I was surprise they didn’t already come with the traditional boba ($0.75 additional charge). My friend’s was better, I didn’t taste much of the cake batter maybe due to my 75% sweetness instead of 100%? I wouldn’t recommend the Lil’ Giraffe, I’m sure there other options are better.“

“This place is SO SLEPT ON! This review is only for the popcorn chicken.
Ever since I moved from SoCal to the Bay Area, I’ve been trying to find a popcorn chicken spot that meets all my requirements: has to have basil, use chicken dark meat, super crispy, fresh, consistent, and reasonably price.
This is THE SPOT! And the pricing is so good especially in this economy. Half size is decent portion for $7.55 and Full size is $10.25.
The service is as good as it gets - people generally do takeout. You order on the monitor outside or can do mobile order, and they’ll text you when your order is ready, which really helps if you’re struggling to find a parking spot.
Parking is typical in Chinatown - it’s usually bustling and packed but no one is going to give you shit if you emergency park on the street haha.
The inside of the place has some snacks and candy. You CAN sit down and eat there but it’s not the best dining spot and there’s a lot of clutter.
In my opinion, drinks and boba are pretty mid. It does the job but nothing amazing.
My go-to spot for popcorn chicken though ❤️“

“Very close to Union Square. Very small spot indoors so it's mainly an order and go boba spot.
I wanted a drink with boba already included so I ordered the black sugar latte ($5.95 before tax). The drink comes cold and I picked less ice, medium sweet, and in a paper cup (they offer this as the sustainable option). The straw is also compostable commercially so yay! My drink was sweeter than I anticipated, given I ordered medium sweet (which is the less sweet option), but still delicious.
There's minimal interaction with the employees. You order at the self serve kiosk (unless you want to pay in cash. I didn't see a discount mentioned for paying cash) and then they bring out the drinks and call out the name of the order. Also didn't realize that SF has a healthy mandate of 6%, which looks to be separate than the SF city employer mandate of 5%, so my order was applicable for the 6% mandate, but not the 5% mandate.“

“Honestly the best boba spot in the city. It’s a nice little boba shop in the neighborhood and near the beach. Their boba actually tastes fresh and drinks are so good. The mango one tastes amazing and for the taro one they have actual taro with it! Great kind people/service and comfy environment. Support your local boba spot!“

“TeaHut in Millbrae is great for fresh, real fruit tea. The Mango Pomelo Sago is a must-try—perfectly sweet with real ingredients. The Full Cup of Strawberries & Black Grapes is refreshing, with whole, in-season grapes. Cozy spot, and parking is convenient too!“

“The sago is so good. The boba is really good as well. Hard to choose which boba to get with so many options. I would put this at the level of Asha Teahouse. I need to try the fruit tea still and will update this because I know Asha is known for its fruit tea. I love the location of this place and they are quick. They always fill the cup with a lot of boba, etc.“

“Best for their fruit teas (not milk teas) tho they run sweet. Some of my favs include Lychee bomb (which includes real lychee bits) and Ruby Passion (Guava, Passionfruit green tea with Aloe),
For non caffeinated options, I like their smoothies, such as peach passion
Also have great tater tots and decent popcorn chicken.“

“Grapeholic is truly hidden gem located in Millbrae's Social Eatery food hall. Grapeholic, as it's name suggests, offers grape-focused tea drinks. As part of Social Eatery, patrons can take a seat within the food hall, place their orders on the provided tablet, and a staff member will bring the food an beverages straight to your table.
Looking for something to go with our meal, we decided to try the (1) cotton candy grape slush, and the (2) grape and lemon tea. The cotton candy grape slush was amazing - true to it's name it captured the cotton candy grape flavor in a delicious slush form that was both sweet and refreshing. The grape and lemon tea was also good; however, the lemon flavor was a bit overpowering and made it difficult to truly enjoy the grape that was in the drink. If you want grape to be the star of the show, then I'd recommend getting one of their grape-centered drinks instead.
Whenever I think of grape, my mind instantly goes to those sickly sweet yet bitter cold syrups of my childhood and the inner child in me still shivers at the thought of drinking those down. With that in mind, grape is not usually a flavor that I find myself partial to; however, Grapeholic might just make me change my mind. Their grape drinks were impeccable flavor-wise - imagine biting into a sweet bunch of grapes, and Grapeholic has essentially captured that taste and feeling into a drink!
If you're ever in the Millbrae area and want a one-stop shop for all your dining and beverage needs, then Social Eatery is definitely the place to go and be sure to enjoy Grapeholic while you're at it!“

“Located in the Parkside neighborhood, Milktopia is a small unassuming storefront; however, once you step inside you're greeted with a wide array of tea beverages, snacks and soft serve options - something for everyone!
Inside Milktopia, ordering can be done either with one of their employees or at the kiosk. Seating isn't plentiful in the store, which makes sense given the size; however, there are four bar stool style seating available for those of you wanting to enjoy your selections. Otherwise, most patrons often take their goodies to-go and enjoy them while strolling around the area.
I ordered their mango pomelo sago, the HK silky milk tea, and the salty egg puff. Mango pomelo sago is a personal go-to drink of mine, and I'm happy to share that the one crafted by Milktopia tastes just as good as any of my favorites. The HK silky milk tea was authentic, although I will note they use evaporated milk (as opposed to the usual condensed milk) so the drink is a little less sweet than it normally is, which could be a bonus to some. Their egg puffs are freshly made and take about 10 or so minutes to prepare. Their salty egg puff was a delicious mix of savory and sweet flavors, and they also have other unique egg puff flavors including oreo, boba, and meat floss (which I'll definitely be back to try in the future).
If you're in the Parkside area and are looking for your next best boba stop, then I highly recommend giving Milktopia a try!“

“My favorite spot for Vietnamese iced coffee on the island! The Egg Coffee is so creamy and delicious, a real treat.
I only wish they could open earlier and take even more of my money 😭 I can't tell you how many times I've woken up excited to pick up coffee during the workweek and realized they don't open until 10 🥹 Pleaseee consider opening at 8 or 9am 😭“

“this place's honey boba was surprisingly soft! as for the drink, pretty standard taste for what you pay for, but honestly the consistency of the tapioca boba blew me away. it doesn't have an oddly hard center like many other cheap-ish boba places, and for that i applaud tpumps!“

“Enjoying my boba during this hot day👍“
“Tpumps is a great place to get boba at a decent price. Not too long ago, they raised their prices by 50 cents, which is disappointing but understandable. My go-to at Tpumps is the blackberry peach black tea with boba, and it always hits the spot. The pearl-tea ratio isn't the best, but the drink is still very worth it. I can appreciate the amount of customization this boba place offers, from the long list of flavors, to the many topping choices, to the amounts of sweetness and ice you can request, to the option to add milk. That's what makes it different from the rest. The staff at Burlingame are particularly excellent. A customer once mistook my order for their own and left, and the employees quickly noticed and remade my drink. Overall, a fine boba place, 4/5.“

“I looove their classic milk tea! I’m not even a big boba fan, but their blend is so good. We always get it to go since seating is limited and parking can be tricky.
Pro tip: download the app - you get a free drink after 10. Just wish you didn’t have to re-add your card every time. Great location overall!“

“This place is incredible! Not only is the boba amazing they offer three different non-dairy options, including lactose free, which is my favorite because it doesn’t change the flavor of the milk tea! Most boba places do not offer this option.
This is my fourth time coming, and my partner is hooked on it and she never liked Boba before! (She hated it) They are that good.
I usually get the Thai tea or the honeydew with honey Boba and the cheese milk foam - don’t knock it till you try it💯
If you’re unfamiliar with Boba, this is the place to go. The guy who is usually at the cash register (with the cute blonde highlights) is really great, super kind, patient, knowledgeable and doesn’t treat you like you are supposed to know how to order Boba cause that’s BS (And honestly, typical of most Boba places). The menu is extensive and there are many different options and it might feel like a labyrinth, but take your time and ask questions because they answer them all. You can also order from the kiosk and they have pictures doesn’t get easier than that.
This is a fantastic place for first timer‘s who are new to Boba as well as people who been drinking it long before it got hype (like me).
The food is bomb. I usually get the meatball sandwich with egg and the char sui banh mi. I can get two drinks and two sandwiches for under 40 bucks. They’re not trying to rob you here - they just serve great food.
Also, the restrooms are clean, and my dog can chill in there while I down a sandwich.
So go see them, but don’t blow up the spot because they’re already busy enough.“

“Was expecting standard boba, but was pleasantly surprised at the taste and quality. Tried the classic and jasmine milk tea which had perfect balance of rich tea flavor and creamer. I looove the flavor of non dairy creamer in boba and am so happy this place uses it (also grateful as a lactose-intolerant person). The pearls had perfect texture both times, and I just found out they are handmade which is cool!“
“Delicious boba tea, and probably the best I've gotten while in San Francisco. They had so many different variations, bases, and flavors to choose from, so you were practically guaranteed exactly what you were looking for! This is also a women-owned and run establishment! So that's just another great reason you should go and support!“
