“I got Feng Cha’s milk tea for the first time today. From the first sip, I could feel myself being transported straight to my hometown of Taipei, Taiwan. The place was very clean and the service extremely quick. Jiayou, Feng Cha! Continue making your delicious bobas. 🫡“

“We stopped by this little boba tea café looking for something new. It’s a small spot with a hint of coziness, but not really our vibe.
The tea though… wow. We first got the smashed pineapple & passion fruit green tea with tapioca boba - that’s the kind of drink you come back for again and again. Super tasty! 25% sweetness was perfect - definitely don’t go higher - and with minimal ice, it was pure joy.
We actually came back an hour later to try the matcha with mango. For matcha lovers, it’s a real find. The mango tasted like perfectly ripe yellow mango, and since there’s a lot of matcha, 50% sweetness works better to balance the bitterness.
Overall, a great spot to grab a drink before a walk around Chinatown.“

“Big fan of the signature milk tea that has all of the toppings like red bean and jelly. Great texture, great tea flavor and not too sweet like some other milk teas I’ve had, even at regular sugar levels. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Chinatown- one of the better SF milk tea shops for sure“

“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!“

“Golden Tea Shop is so so good! I have recommended this place to my family and friends and they always want to come back! It may not be the fanciest boba shop, but it is truly an underrated one.
I’ve tried several boba shops in the Bay Area and this one has really good teas and toppings that are more niche (peach gum, tea jelly, etc). My personal favorite is the peach gum milk tea with black tea. It is so creamy with a nice tea taste, and I love the toppings it comes with.
The price is great and the cup is a good size. Disclaimer: drinks take time to prepare bc it’s family owned so be
patient. Give it a try, it’s great!“
“I visited this boba place, and it was really nice. The bubble tea was very good, and I loved that you can choose two syrup flavours, which is a great option. The popping bubbles were sweet and tasty, and I also liked that you can choose how much ice and sugar you want — less, medium, or more.
The only downside was the staff. The person taking the order spoke very quickly, so it was hard to understand, and the order wasn’t repeated at the end. It wasn’t a big issue, but it would have been nicer if the service was a bit clearer.“
“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!!“
“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.“

“I went there to treat myself during Jury Duty. This place was great. Lots of Boba options that looked good. The Vietnamese coffee was good. I got their 5 spices / shredded chicken Bahn Mi and devoured it. Atmosphere was tidy, nice staff, competent and speedy. Definitely a sold - can’t go wrong kind of place.“

“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.“

“This bubble tea spot was such a vibe. I got the brown sugar boba and it was honestly perfection. The drink was creamy, smooth, and perfectly sweet. The boba pearls were soft and chewy just the way I like them. The tea and milk ratio was spot on, and every sip tasted super fresh and balanced.
It is a cute little spot, perfect for quick pickups. There is not much space to sit, but it totally works if you just want to grab your drink and go. Everything felt freshly made and not overly sugary like some other places. You can tell they put effort into getting the flavor right.
I finished my drink way too fast because it was that good. Definitely one of the best brown sugar bobas I have had in a while. I am for sure coming back again.“
“Love this place. I 1st discovered this place when my kid was at UC Davis. Great boba drinks and love their popcorn chicken. Today I got their special the fried octopus and jasmine tea. Super delicious. Will definitely come back. And so glad that they are all over the Bay Area.“

“I came here this evening and ordered a bubble tea from the kiosk. The woman working was incredibly friendly, and they have a cute little store. But I ordered a black milk tea with 25% sugar and received an incredibly sweet brown sugar milk tea instead. It was way too sweet, but probably just an oversight.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We're so lucky to have so many great boba cafes here in San Francisco. And Black Sugar is one of them.
It's a small spot at the edge of the Tenderloin near Union Square. They have a few caffeine-free choices and I got their mango sago, which is a mango puree with grapefruit bits and coconut milk. Since it already had sago, I didn't add boba, which is good btw. Its has that qq bounce and is softly sweetened with brown sugar.
The mango was so refreshing! The coconut added a creamy texture and the grapefruit bits added a pop of tartness. The sago added another layer of texture that was both soft and chewy. I usually like to take my time with boba drinks, but this one was so good that I drank it pretty fast.
I usually order mine online for pick up. But service is pretty quick after ordering. Though I can imagine it's busier on weekends.
I've had several of their drinks, including their popular black sugar fresh milk, and they are all good. Definitely take a detour when you're in Union Square when the boba craving hits.“

“their brown sugar milk tea was the best i ever had. their boba is amazing. they have vegan options for milk tea. the boss is super nice also.
update: their taro milk tea and pina colada smoothie is delicious as well according to my dad and bf. the brown sugar milk tea is still bomb and boba is fresh“

“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.“

“The froyo was a delicious treat. Their pistachio flavor is hand made and you can put toppings such as fresh fruit and jellies that would normally be in boba. My personal favorite flavor was the pineapple dole whip, just like Disneyland, with lychee jelly!
The store also has games and a bright atmosphere for kids. We had a great time here overall!“

“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.“

“I tried to get a sandwich here on a Sunday afternoon, and again on a Wednesday afternoon and it was closed both times. I’m not sure if this location is permanently closed…there’s no signage posted, nothing on their website, and neither location answers the phone. Bummer since their sandwiches were delish!“

“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!“

“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 😭“

“Very busy store even at night time. I finally stopped by to order after couple months since it opened eve though I pass by it so often. It is just because most of the drink have milk and I don't like tea with milk.
The store is small with 2 touch screen ordering kiosk but it was not organized nicely as I can see people just cut the line when ordering even though they came after us.
Ordering is simple as the menu is clear. As it was very busy, it took a while for the order to be ready.
The pistachio white Champacca coconut was good. This one has no dairy.“

“If you’re looking for the best smash burger in Burlingame, look no further than Lilikoi. The food is consistently great, and the service is some of the friendliest I’ve experienced. A huge bonus is their delivery service to nearby bars—it’s the perfect setup for a night out. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“This absolute hidden gem in the Mission has some of the best boba in the city! I tried the Taro Latte, and you can tell they use real taro chunks. It’s creamy, perfectly balanced, and doesn't taste like a sugar bomb. The Hong Kong Milk Tea is another standout with a deep, authentic tea flavor. But my favorite is the Mung Bean Latte for a sweet little protein boost.
Beyond the drinks, the Spam Musubi and Popcorn Chicken were fresh and hit the spot. Even though it’s a small counter-serve space, the vibe is super welcoming and the staff is incredibly friendly. Quick service, creative menu options, and consistently high quality. Definitely a new regular spot for me!“

For non caffeinated options, I like their smoothies, such as peach passion
Also have great tater tots and decent popcorn chicken.“

“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.“

“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!“
“Black sugar milk tea ! Yummy“
“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best experience ever – thanks to Angela!
I ordered an iced Thai green milk tea and an Ohachi strawberry tea — both were super refreshing and full of flavor, not too sweet, just perfect.
What really made the visit special was Angela. She was so friendly, kind, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. She helped me choose, made sure everything was just right, and honestly gave me the best customer service I’ve ever had at a bubble tea place. It felt like talking to a friend.“

“So I was in the mood for a drink so I thought I'd try their banana milk. Had heard of banana milk but never had it. I would have been content with just a regular milk that tastes like banana but I was pleasantly surprised that this was much better. It felt handcrafted, the banana milk texture was just slightly thicker than plain milk which was enjoyable. The taste was so perfect i dont even know how to compliment it. It was just the pure essence of banana without any bitterness, but still retaining that slight earthiness and im pretty sure it was made of real banana, there was no artificial syrup flavor etc. It was really really good and I'd definitely go back just for this one item even.“
