“One of my favorite spots to grab a drink when I want something refreshing. I usually get a mango lemon slushy or a yakult green tea for something light! Be sure to get your drink 50% sweet if you don't like your drinks too sweet.This location now serves popcorn chicken and egg puffs(waffles)! I love how crunchy it is on the outside but soft and fluffy inside. Will definitely be back to try new things on the menu :)“
“As a former jamba juice employee, this location is THE BEST! The employees are absolutely amazing and the smoothies are so so delicious!! I love jamba juice for life. Everyone please be nice to these workers they are doing the best they can:) So simmer down. I love jamba juice. I ordered the PB chocolate love. FIRE“
“Livin Sweet it's a great place! You can tell that the people that work here care because the service is amazing. They take the time to help the customer decide and guide us trough their menu. I got the mango ice cream and i was very creamy and flavorful. I will be coming back for more!!“
“I worked here for a whole day, and it was really nice. Quiet ambiance, good natural light once the sun is up, small and big tables for me to put all my items, fast wifi. Would definitely come back and work here. It is street parking but I was able to parking right in front of the door twice“
“What a great discovery for me! I was waiting to order a sandwich close by, but it was taking too long. So, I walked over to Big Brothers Burgers and ordered the classic with fries. Wow! It was so huge yet delicious! Great service, and the ambiance was nice too. Highly recommend!“
“I’m so excited to have found a place that makes sugarcane juice in the bay area and it’s fresh! The sugarcane is fresh and they juice it to order. I bought a small and then a half gallon to go! Also the gentleman that was working was polite and friendly and gave me samples!“
“Got the super breakfast burrito & roasted veggie flatbread (changed the red sauce to pesto & added chicken 10/10 recommend!), Tropical Sunshine & Matcha Magic (not pictured), both HELLA good! Great owners/service. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Music and vibes are A1 :)“
“This is a really spacious location compared to other locations they have in the area. Many tables for seating! A few people were waiting for their drinks and socializing. Cozy little spot. This is conveneient across from Ramen Nagi and Son & Garden as well.I recommend the Mango Mochi Coconut Pudding and the Jasmine Coconut Pudding! These are my favorites, but definitely get pricey. For drinks, my go-to is the Da Hong Pao (DHP) Latte with Jelly! Very fragrant tea, but still creamy from the milk. A well balanced milk tea.“
“I love this Palmetto location. It's super close to a few workout studios and is the perfect post-gym snack! I never craved acai bowls unless I was in Hawaii, but that mindset changed when I came across Palmetto. I believe they plan on expanding rapidly in the coming years, so hopefully quality stays the same. The Burlingame location is my go to as it's pretty close to home and convenient to get to. I would recommend order via the app because there's only one self-order kiosk in the store and it can take a while if it's busy. The only downfall is that you can't access some discounts (primarily the healthcare worker discount) via the app. My orders have always been ready on time...but communication can be a little hit or miss at this store. I recently had a mishap with the app and popped in prior to my workout/an hour before my pick-up time to ensure that the correct order got made. I spoke with one employee who assured me that she would convey the message. When I returned to pick up the mobile order, I decided to check my bowls prior to leaving to make sure that the mistake was corrected. Thankfully I did because I found out that message did not get passed on as promised.“
“I used to go to Peet's on Laurel St. all the time, but they have competition! Groovy Goose is a new coffee spot in San Carlos, and their lattes are wonderful! Really good. The staff is young and friendly too. They could use a few more tables, but I'm happy to go and pick up a latte any day. They could also expand their pastry selection, but - don't tell Peet's - as for coffee, probably the best in San Carlos! I recommend.“
“Marisa is so nice and great customer service. Best Jamba location in the Bay Area! I live closer to several other locations, but drive an extra few miles for nicer people and service. Love how they can still make the old school drinks - Orange Carrot Karma! Location is friendly and lots of care given to customers.Taking it to the next level - Coolest Jamba location!9/9 Update - tried the Go Getter; great option for macha lovers?! Pumpkin Smash ?? is also in season now to get you in the fall mood! As always great service and high-energy from Marisa ?.9/16 updateService is so fast and courteous at this San Mateo downtown location. I go to many other Jamba locations in the Bay Area and this store stands out in service and friendliness above them all! Keep up the good work Marisa and staff!9/17Great service and smoothies. This location is special. Employees are motivated and crank out the best smoothies. Marisa makes sure all customers are taken care of. If you have any issues, she will resolved it to your satisfaction. I go to Jamba a lot, but this is my fav store on the peninsula.“
“this is a small hole in the wall boba place. not much space to wait and you might accidentally walk right by it like we did. but the boba is fantastic! super tasty with lots of options. the dessert options are also great. probably my favorite boba place in the ssf/san bruno area.“

“I'm surprised by this Pink Pink. My experience in the Santa Clara location was so bad, I swore to never get it again. They sell soft serve/froyo here?! It's really yummy - totally would get again. I asked for a sample and they gave me a small cup. Peach oolong milk tea was good. Boba was chewy. Drink had a lot of creamer though...would tone it down. Overall, I would not be opposed to coming here again and trying their other drinks!“
“I've always liked happy lemon since their taste of all the happy lemon drinks in different branches have always stayed consistent. It's my first time at this particular location & I came at a slow time during mid day which is nice since the other locations I've been usually gets packed. The ambiance of this location is so nice since it's so clean inside & it's located near a lot of different food chains. Totally would go back to this location.“
“I was in the area looking for an açaí bowl and found this place on yelp. The place inside a small grocery store and when I arrived I found parking behind the building. The attendant was very friendly and helped me choose a bowl. Definitely recommend if looking for a healthier breakfast option.“
“Stopped in while charging my car. Ordered the classic crepe with lemon and it was GREAT! $9.00 out the door and it was worth every dime. The woman who helped was very nice and even offered water. I ate there and the restaurant was small but clean. Next time you charge your next to Safeway try it out you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!“
“Originally I came to try their Taro 2.0 drink but it seems to always be out of stock.....My second choice was the Oreo Matcha which I really liked. Boba was nice and chewy. Alterations to non-dairy milk is included, which I appreciate since most places charge extra. However I think ~$8 is a bit pricy, especially for the smaller sized cup. If they ever replenish their Taro drink I shall return.“
“This location is super clean and well laid out with a few seats, well designed and laid out, tons of free parking, given it's located in a strip mall, across from TJ Maxx and next to a Starbucks. I went in today and was super motivated to get one of their smoothies, parched with thirst and despite it being freezing cold and windy, it really would've hit the spot. I don't know or understand what the latest thing is with so many restaurants and food/drink places where they have menu with boards on top of your head, or the scanning with your phones where you can only read the menu on the phone. I must be old fashioned and showing my 61 years of age because I want and need a real menu, either peper or laminated or something where I can hold, touch and feel it, because it enables me to properly take my time and read it. If I have to squint and strain my already myopic astigmatic eyes with my coke bottle eyeglasses, I'm straining to reas the fine print, and frankly, by the time, I'm done with the heavy lifting of straining just to read th damn thing, I'm done. I'm just freaking done. I don't want the food or the drink anymore, I'm irritated and frustrated with the simple process of ordering which has now become an ordeal and harder than if I'd made the damn thing myself. To be fair, the customer service here was really friendly and helpful but it was just one of those days where I needed a real menu. Geez what a codger I've become.“
“Super cute cafe, comfortable seats, tasty coffee & treats, very friendly staff! They can also make any of their drink menu with decaf coffee- perfect for those who aren’t able to indulge with full strength coffee but want to have a taste! I’m so excited to have a fun cafe in the neighborhood!“
“Phenomenal, simply put. We tried the oolong, thai, and frozen butter beer. We all loved it. Service is great, they have great selection. They have dairy free options.Vegetarian options: Dairy free optionsParking: Some parking in the front and paid street parking.“
“When Tiger Tea opened, I thought "does San Mateo really need another boba place?" I was wrong. We had a craving for Thai Tea and popped into Tiger Tea. Also saw their Avocado shake and was intrigued since I've only seen these at Viet restaurants. Both drinks were fantastic Thai tea had a strong tea flavor with just enough sweetness at 75% 5/5 Avocado shake was very refreshing, creamy and sweet 5/5“
“Addicted to their new heniken 0% beer drink. It has a very smooth rich profile that blends the flavors of a good brew with a fine lime green tea. Very unique flavor based on about 10yr of Boba enjoyment . Love it. It's a reason it's signature. I had 2 if not 3. Great way to cool down and I'm sure the rest of the drinks are just as great.Seating is good and it can get crowded. There is online ordering and kiosk.Parking: Park a block away at the street lots. No parking on this busy street. Plus side it's very walkable.“
“Looking for something different with a nice view ? girls in bikini if that is offensive I apologize but it's a reality here drinks are for the most part good but the women working are the real reason you go maybe not a place to go with kids or family.“
“I moved to Belmont a couple of months ago & I have to say this is my favorite Jamba Juice around. I specifically come back here because of Nick who always greets me with a warm smile and even remembers me & what I order! His demeanor is friendly and welcoming and it’s customer service like this that makes people return. Thanks Nick for always making my experience great here.“
“Usually the taco deals on Doordash suck because of the low review taco spots . However , this was the only highly rated place that didn't concentrate on tacos like they others . This place does it legit . Every single ingredient had flavor in it. And it was the first time I had a manglonada.Don't know how they get mangos so sweet , but they have all the classic ingredients.You can tell from the neighborhood that it has to be legit . Latin population in the area would hate it if they were washed out places like the ones only serving calorie conscious crowds.Glad i was able to discover this shop. Super super recommended“
“JIMMY V'S!!! One of my FAVORITE cafes to visit on Stanford Campus - they serve the most delicious breakfasts, lunch foods, and smoothies / shakes / drinks. Many of their foods that I have enjoyed include: Athlete Omelet, Norcal Scramble, Huevos Rancheros, Stanford Panini, Chicken Chestnut Salad Melt, and Olympian and Cardinal smoothies! Everything is so on point. All their omelets, paninis, sandwiches, smoothies, everything. I also always come back to the Olympian smoothie, which features apple juice, strawberry, banana, raspberry, peach, and low-fat yogurt. The people at Jimmy V's are literally some of the friendliest and warmest I've ever met - I always see them smiling and making conversation and connections with everyone. The inside of the Sports Cafe is lively with a strong community feel and Stanford school spirit, and it is also busy with students, professors, athletes - you name it! The red walls feature quotes like "Passion is Your Greatest Asset", "You Are Never Wrong To Do The Right Thing", and "Teams That Eat Together Play Together Win Together". Jimmy V's also has multiple HD TVs all around the cafe with different sports channels on. In addition, Jimmy V's has a huge outdoors seating area as well, with both sun umbrellas and natural shade from the large green trees. Jimmy V's is one of the best cafe's ever!!! I have loved everything I've ordered from them so far, and I can't wait to try more. Jimmy V's is also the perfect place for any kind of gathering - with friends, with professors, with sports teammates, or on your own! I am not surprised that it is one of the most well-loved, frequented, and beautiful cafés on campus. I would definitely recommend enjoying food from Jimmy V's!!!“
“Self checkout menu that isn't always easy to navigate, and I thought I placed the order but it didn't process. Not their fault but had to go back in line and reorder after waiting for 10 min, oopsMatcha was decent, but didn't seem like they are focused on preparing it as some of the smaller shops do (didn't bamboo whisk for example)“
“if you're looking for healthy & delicious food, EAT HERE! I ordered a green smoothie with berries & almond butter The staff were so friendly and kind, plus they shouted out some of their favorites! I can't wait to come back They also have a TON of seating and the vibe/decoration/lighting here is so cute. Added: it's so incredibly disappointing and astounding how spoiled, entitled, and tone deaf many of the folks who've posted reviews on here have resonates. yall need to get a grip and support local business with your chest. bless“
“When I used to work in RWC I ate at their original location just outside of downtown. They've opened a second locale in Menlo and has been quietly opened for a year and I hadnt realized it. Especially because it is in the same strip mall as one of my fave Mexican places, El Fogon, which strangely had an Atherton Mom and her teenage daughter going to. this would never happen pre covid. Speaking of when they opened apparently most folks wanted the original location which is more Panaderia than Restaurant back then to have a bar. So they built this one with a nice bar and now post covid the demand for a bar isnt as strong. I hope that changes because I think their food is quite good. Also this locale brings in the bakery products from the other location so it is a small case. I had a conversation with a server a while back at a sushi restaurant of all places and found out they were from Guatemala. We got to talking about where all the Guatemlan food was and they said El Pollo Campero was basically the only one around. So when I told them about the original location of Guatemalteca we googled it and this one showed up. So during my errands I met a friend here for a meal. We had to go for the stuff we'd never heard of and that paid dividends. The Hilachas is a beef stew that texturally like ropa vieja with the protein being beef being in a thick gravy like stew of tomato and other aromatics. This was served with a salad, pureed black beans and rice. The churrasco was grilled beef similar to carne asada but spiced differently. it had similar components to the Hilachas but also came with a chili and some crema. We also got a Gutemalan Tamal of pork to share and they included the last of their Gutemalan style chile relleno which is smaller but amazingly tasty. The bonus here are the hand made tortillas! Food was a big win and since you're surrounded in a neighborhood of great Mexican food, Id stick to the Gutemalan fare to broaden your horizons. THe brother and sister which run this locale speak really good ENglish but they still helped me practice my Spanish which was nice. A great new add to the neighborhood and now it's going to be hard because I have to choose this or EL Fogon in the same block“
“Very cool smoothie and healthy eats trucks right across from Safeway parked in El Camino in Millbrae. Went here right after my yoga class which is super convenient and right on the money given how famished I am coming out of the class. I've gotten the strawberry banana smoothie which was refreshing and tasty. Also got the shrimp tostadas and this was very very good. Highly recommend them, they come two per order. The shrimp and fixing were so fresh. There are smoothie bowls and a few other items like a chicken salad and a full menu of other smoothies. This is the spot and I enjoy coming here after a hard yoga workout.“

“So far I have been 2 Kung Fu Tea Locations The 1st Kung Fu Tea Location That I went to was at New York City which was back in 2019!!!! And now I got a chance to go to the Kung Fu Tea at the Palo Alto Ca Location!!!!!! And What I had was the Lychee Punch Boba Tea Drink which is very Refreshing 清爽 Qīngshuǎng !!!!!! If you Yelpers & Yelpettes like Lychee Punch Boba Tea Try Going to this Kung Fu Tea Location!!!!“
“Was walking by and I was greeted with a smile from the manager of the store. So I decided to try. The juices were impressive and the manager she was phenomenal with her service and I discovered a phenomenal product which goes a long way nowadays. Unfortunately, I forgot her name but the young lady was just extremely helpful. And the prices are affordable if you join the membership , when you think about it it’s more affordable than paying for seven dollar Starbucks coffee, nothing against Starbucks, but I will take a healthy drink over a cup of coffee filled with sugar.“
“I love doing the one day juice cleanse. Cleanse 1 is my favorite by far. It's tough as the day goes on but you feel so good and refreshed the next day! I always order through the app which uses DoorDash. The juices arrive within an hour.“
“Solid milk tea spot with super friendly and fast service. They had a promo too and offered a great price for their extra large sized drinks. Rose vanilla milk tea with lychee jelly was a nice new drink to try.The free sample was also such a sweet touch and lifesaving for this momma running on empty.“
