“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.“

“One of the best boba I've ever had! I wish they had an Oddcha in Las Vegas....
The service was amazing! the baristas are so nice and were on point with my drink and it was delish (I got the Dragon Fruit Honey Lavender w.Boba) . And the ambiance was 10/10 they were playing my favorite music while I waited. Over all I had an amazing experience!“

“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“

“Spicy tuna roll: A+
Salmon toro: A+
Albacore: A+
Ya Shi Xiang boba tea: A+
Tried their spicy tuna once at a booth during a recent festival on Grant ave. Had to go try more at the restaurant after that.
Nice people, quick service. Very small restaurant with limited seating however, so if you are with a larger group of people you might want to get it to go.“

“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.“

“Friendly staff, great (and healthy) Boba and bakery items.“
“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!“

“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?“

“Give their Doppo Panna latte a try. I’m not a coffee drinker normally so take my opinion lightly if you’re serious about coffee, but as a casual drinker I enjoyed it! Tried it hot both times.
Been very busy whenever I’ve visited, which has been on the weekend only so far. Possible to bring a laptop to do some work, but given the small space and busy-ness, it’s not the type of place to hole up for hours on a laptop, in my opinion. It looked like they had a WiFi network, but I can’t speak to the speed as I was using a hotspot at the time.“

“I got the green refresher, SO soothing and delicious. Staff is really kind even on New Years Day busy all day! Thanks for the delicious food. I got that and a vegan masala bowl. Delicious and a lot of food for the price in that area. I love this spot. Highly recommend. No pics but whether you get vegan or meat/vegetarian you’re eating good here. 4 stars on atmosphere because it is nice and warm but somewhat small and basic. Still recommend. 🫶🏼. The food is also prepared healthily as they bake their fries. Quality ingredients and really good seasonings. Something for everyone. Go irl or on their site as they have specialty bowls etc that I didn’t see on DoorDash“

“We were visiting San Francisco for the first time, and were looking for some tasty refreshments after walking all day, when we came upon this gem. I had the Yakult Passion Fruit Green Tea and my husband had the Strawberry Milk. Both were perfect, and the place is super cute.“
“Shoutout to the team at special T! We order from you all the time for our company, and you never miss. The drinks are always on point—creamy milk teas, popping boba, the works. Everyone in the office has their favorite, and you nail every single one.
Plus, the prices are totally fair, which is awesome when we're ordering for a big group. Thanks for being so reliable and making such great drinks! You're the best!“

“Loved the crepes and service!
Crepes were soft and fluffy. We got #28 which had coffee icecream and pudding. Was a unique combo but both flavors paired well together.
The bear face was adorable (◍•ᴗ•◍) ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ“

“Milk tea itself is fine, regular milk tea is much better than Jasmine milk tea. However, I notice that they charge $0.25 if you ask for a bag at the counter, but if you ask for a bag after you got your drink, they would just give it to you, instead of needing to pay it?“

“Ordering is done via a pad - no cash! And : NO TOILET. That is had. And it is a dine in location. I thought that is a requirement. Also, traditional banh mi is $11.50 but if you order it, it has a $1 surcharge for a traditional banh mi. Makes no sense and seems like a scam. Place is nicely designed. Clean. Wait is a bit longer than in comparable places. Food is good. It won some BEST OF MARÍN awards. The announcement that your meal is ready is done HOA a DMV like loud announcement….“

“Yu's Cafe is a good spot for unique treats at very reasonable prices. It is located in Chinatown, beside a park. Their Coffee Cheese is absolutely delicious.
The warm red bean dessert is another winner, delicious whether you order it hot or cold. The cafe uses an efficient touch screen ordering service, but the friendly staff are always there to provide warm service. Great value, great flavor!“

“I find this to be a consistently good tea drink place. If you order less sweet + less ice it will come out that way. They have a lot of flavor options, from basic to more adventurous. One thing I especially like about the sharetea is they have lychee chunks as an add-in, which I prefer to boba. Note: there is only one large size available, it is ideal for sharing. It's kind of too much for one person.“

“Stopped in for a mango pomelo sago drink and can confirm it is as delicious as everyone else has said here. They use a good type of mango, and the sago and cream topping were creamy and sweet without being too much. It reminded me of a mango lassi!“

“My favorite boba place in SF, been to this store 5+ years. The drinks here are consistently great. The lines can get long, which happens a lot, but I honestly don't mind the wait. My go-to favorites are the strawberry matcha latte and the classic milk tea with boba. You'll notice the service changes a bit since they have a ton of different part-timers, but the taste of the drinks is always solid. Totally recommend it!“

“Banh Mi Zon in Mili Valley is an absolute gem! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, from the crispy, perfectly baked banh mi to the refreshing drinks. The bread is outstanding — freshly baked, perfectly crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
The fillings are always fresh, generous, and packed with flavor. The blend of savory meats, rich paté, fresh cilantro, and the perfectly tangy pickled carrots and daikon creates a symphony of textures and tastes that is impossible to beat. It’s a fantastic value for the quality and size you get.
Beyond the food, the staff is always quick, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Whether you're grabbing lunch to go or stopping in for a quick bite, the experience is always top-notch. If you haven't been, you're truly missing out. Get there immediately!“

“10 stars!!!! The owners were so incredibly friendly, warm and welcoming, and the Hong Kong milk tea was soothing and delicious. Prices are very reasonable (especially since the portion was very large for the drink size), and the taste felt clean and fresh. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back again!“

“Fantastic new bubble tea shop. Very impressed with the taste and quality of the drinks. Most importantly for us, there’s an no added sugar option for the taro matcha tea. Love it!
Plus, the staff being so nice to us.
Plus plus, they serve local sight glass coffee.“
“I think this is the best boba place in the city..have tried almost all of them...the boba is very fresh, texture good, good customer service, reasonable prices, great selection of toppings...and Yena, Arlen and her brother have done a very good job with the new business! Small, crowded but very efficient! ��“
“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.“

“Wanted a sweet treat and this adorable place caught our eye. I really only wanted the matcha but their 3 for $11 was tempting so ended up getting three donuts.
Tried the matcha one as I left the shop and it was yummy. I did notice it seems more oily than other mochi donut places and could’ve done without the extra oil. The napkin I was holding was quite soaked by the time I had finished it.
Flavours were great, soft and chewy on the inside, I think it would deserve a 5 star if they could tone down the oil a bit.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I stopped by Liliko Boba after visiting a friend who lives nearby. It had been a long, busy day, and I was really craving something refreshing — a mix of coffee, tea, and boba. When I walked in, I was greeted by a kind and welcoming woman. I explained that I was in the mood for something unique, and she said, “I’ll make it special for you.”
She crafted a delicious cinnamon coffee-tea blend for me, and I was so excited that I forgot to mention I wanted boba added. When I realized and told her, she didn’t hesitate at all. Even though the drink was already made, she smiled and said, “No problem,” and added the boba right away.
Her friendly attitude and great customer service truly made my day. The drink itself was amazing — flavorful, balanced, and just what I needed. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Highly recommend this place not only for their drinks but also for the warm, personal experience.“

“I like there Mango sago, the textures of sago was good going along with the sweetness of mango. I also ordered there Oolong tea with the cream cheese on the top with Osmanthus jelly as the topping which was tasted so good. There was a long line but you can order from scanning QR code or on the machine. It was taking a while on weekend for the order but everything was good.“

“When I tell you this is the best boba I’ve had in my life— I’m not exaggerating. Across 10 states and 3 countries (over 320 boba spots) none come close to comparing to this specific ShareTea. Not all ShareTeas are the same, and the owner here is doing everything right. The taste of the tea, ratio of milk, sweetness, boba consistency, etc. is consistently perfect and I’ve yet to find a match anywhere else. My go to order is a classic black milk tea with 50% sugar, normal ice, and boba. Other drinks that are great here are the strawberry ice blended with boba and lychee and 50% sugar, and the Kiwi Fruit Tea with Lychee and 0% sugar (because the fruit juice is already sweet— and it’s real! has seeds in it!). Make no mistake and don’t sleep on this little gem in San Rafael!“

“I go after school most days before walking home or volleyball games and practice, and I get the guava snow with oreo crumble, and it's really good.
The only thing that keeps me from giving them a 5 is the prices. Don't get me wrong about the inflation issue, but like some of the prices are unreasonable. They should lower it.
Go here if you have the money but the workers are really nice. Just go to Starbucks, it's more reasonable there.“

“We love this local boba spot. The drinks are carefully crafted and delicious and the boba is fresh. My son loves the Silky Mango and the Silky Strawberry. Teaspoon catered his 10th birthday party and it was awesome. The kids loved it and Jennifer and the team were great to work with. So glad to have this gem at the Town Centre.“
