“I’ve been living in the area for almost two years and yesterday was the first time I tried this place. I was never attracted by the facade, to be honest. But yesterday, upon looking for places to eat, I was surprised to find out that Wow Burgers had a high rating and decided to go for it.The lady who took my order—and, apparently, who made it as well—was extremely polite and nice. The food: delicious! Everything was on point. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a burger place! It is also near the muni stop and there’s plenty of parking in the area.“
“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 :)“
“Best California fusion açaí! What really stands out to me about this açaí spot is that they offer black sesame butter as a topping. Black sesame is one of my favourite flavours, and it pairs so well with all the bases. Each build-your-own bowl is set at a fixed price based on size, and toppings are unlimited, so it's a great value.Everything from parking to ordering and enjoying the açaí is super easy. There's plenty of metered street parking along Ocean Ave, and I've often been able to park very close. You can order online or in person at their in-store kiosk. They have plenty of indoor seating in case you want to "dine in", and the place receives lots of sunlight, so it's a great space to hang out.Below is my go-to order that got me hooked on Açaí R:Bases- 100% organic açaí (new and/or original)- organic flamingo chia pudding- blue spirulinaFruits- blueberries- pineappleGranola- French vanillaButter- black sesame butterToppings- coconut flakes- toasted coconut flakes- goji berriesNatural Sweetener- none, but I've gotten light agave sweetener at other açaí places and liked itPowder- none“
“Ice cream here is Good! Great customer service. They also have custom drinks. Gives Mitchel's competition...for those familiar with the area ( prices are similar). For those visiting, you can't go wrong stopping by at Balboa Ice Cream.“
“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.“
“Fantastic food , not just tortas, enchiladas verdes my favorite and milanesa torta is a must, don't forget fresh juices, love it. Always great super friendly service. Very nice, autentic people. A bit small place but great gem. Don't skip this little place.“
“Evening dessert is always the way to go! Ordered coffee gelato, mango sagoo, and chocolate mousse with panna cotta.Mango sagoo: honestly not the best. I will not reorder- it’s so bland (granted, it was 75% sweetness) but you can definitely taste the coconut milk and the mangoes are not that sweet. It’s different than regular mango sagoo that I used to have.Chocolate mousse + panna cotta: i ordered one with chocolate marbles. It’s tasty but seems like the panna cotta a little tangy. Is it spoiled or is it the actual taste…? Unsure. The mousse is good, a little dense but very chocolatey.Coffee gelatto & mochi waffles: this is the star of the show. It’s chewy, sticky, and rich. Waffle has great chewy-ness to it, yet still crispy and amazing. Gelato was perfectly sweet and rich. 10/10 will get it again.“
“Their bagels are perfection! Wow!I had a The Works with bacon on an everything bagel and it was so delicious. I had a latte on oat milk which was equally as tasty. My husband had the lox bagel with onion and capers and was very happy with it.The only downside is the fact that everything is served in to-go containers - even when you dine in.Parking: They have a small parking lot with maybe 10-15 spots, but we have never had issues finding a free spot.“
“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.“
Coffee & Tea • $
“Beloved’s intimate interior, sweet music and aroma of cinnamon and cardamom surprised me. It’s a compact dose of serenity after the churn of 24th and Mission.I ordered the Beloved Latte with turmeric, ghee and nut milk, no sugar (minus one star for no decaf) at $9 and the Masala Cacao Ball at $7.High prices for sure, as other reviews have mentioned, but where do you find this in the Mission? I just moved here a month ago from Marin and four cafes in the Mission I have tried so far have been tired, dirty and run down. What’s up with that? I thought the tech bros were bringing up the value here.In contrast, I think Beloved represents the heartfelt, positive vibe of conscious living. This cafe packs a lot into a small space. Just sayin’.“
“Stopped by Coco 3 to grab some drinks before heading over to Beauty bound for a quick pedicure. I ordered the taro drink with lots of Sago which I thoroughly enjoyed. Interior is clean, well lit, they have a bathroom that requires a key, and plenty of seating. Staff there is very nice, there's lots of parking in the plaza, and it's right next to Costco across the street so plenty of perks if you need to get your tires changed and need a spot to hang out at.“
“The teas are strong, the smoothies are delicious. I have only heard about the tea because I am a caffeine free child, but the smoothies. THE SMOOTHIES!!!!! They have so many different flavours, and the sweetness is always perfect. I also like how their large sizes are actually large. I definitely recommend the red bean smoothie, which somehow exists, and I LOVE IT. The drinks can get a bit sweet, but you can change the sweetness on all of them, I believe. Since they are a very popular business, it does take some time for them to make the drinks, but the wait is always worth it. And, they are "professionals," and they work as hard as they can to make your drink. It's a very small place, so most people get their drinks to-go, which is what happens at most boba shops anyways, so that doesn't change anything about my extremely high opinions about them. I did have a favourite drink before, but they took it off the menu. I have since loved the red bean smoothie, and highly recommend it.:)“
“Love this neighborhood business that has always turned out perfectly crispy and chewy eggettes in tasty flavors. The various drinks they also serve have always been very delicious and the perfect accompaniment to the eggettes, and I also don't feel too guilty in having either of both . Will always come here to get a much needed snack attack resolution!“
“Really cute grab-and-go spot. In the city, its rare to get such nice and friendly customer service, Today the barista greeted me with such a kind smile, it made my day. And the coffee, some of the best I have had in the city, they know how to make a real cortado!“
“No frills place for boba and Asian style tea. Liked it quite a lot as we were able to choose the right sweetness etc. only slight con is they don’t take discover (despite saying they do on the machine it declined both our our discover cards).“
“CLEAN EATING!! Haven't been too familiar with Clean Bites, as a last semester SFSU student. They were tabling infront of the Mashouf Wellness center on Recreation Day and had some amazing wellness shots(non-alcoholic)! Tried out the Power Wrap, which was HUGE, it's great they cut it in half. Came with this sauce that was spicy, but complimented the wrap. Great place to grab pressed juices, superfood bowls, anything energizing before/after hitting the gym! Service was pretty fast - they asked if I was okay with hummus, since I mentioned I was allergic to nuts - which was super considerate! Would for sure stop by again. Great place for people looking for cleaner alternatives - nothing oily, greasy - with great alternatives and substitutions!“
“I was super skeptical of this spot for a long time because it's next to a gas station but one day I figured since it had the highest number of Yelp reviews and one of the higher overall ratings for boba spots in the area I'd finally give it a shot. As a couple of the other reviews have pointed out, it's surprisingly good for literally gas station boba. I recommend ordering ahead directly from their website to get the best prices. They might not have the most extensive menu but they've got all the og milk teas, a couple fruit tea options, and even a Vietnamese coffee so what more can you ask for.I've tried the guava passion and the Thai milk tea, nothing out of the world but done right both times. I really like how every drink comes with a detailed description of what's included and how there are 11 different topping and 15 topping options. All toppings are relatively the same price too (unless you get double the quantity which makes sense), which I will voice my support for. They also offer 125% and 150% sweetness options, which I've never seen for boba before but hey if you like your drinks really sweet this spot could really be a gem for you.There isn't a whole lot of space inside the store, it's mainly just one small counter with the register and enough space to put bobas that are ready for pickup. There is more parking in the back but honestly who wants to stick around a gas station for longer than needed just place your order online and hop out quickly to pick it up once you arrive. There is a bathroom but it's on the other side of the building and you have to go outside to pick up the key, I just decided to wait until I got home. Overall, much more than it appears to be from the outside and don't knock it until you try it.“
“I been to this boba shop once and I forgot to review it but if you want pretty gradient boba drinks this is the place to go. I got the coconut island drink with boba and some boba place you can hardly taste the coconut but this one actually had a strong taste of it. At the time I didnt get to try some of their snacks but really wish I did“
“Excellent sandwiches on the westside of the city. It's not a restaurant, so plan to eat outside or away. The service is very polite and fast. But they get very busy so you either call in the order or wait.....Parking: Midweek, you're fine. On weekends, it can get busy.Kid-friendliness: There is a park adjacent to the shop.Wheelchair accessibility: No entry. Everything is done outside“
“Quick stop at UPFORDAYZ today provided me with a quick snack that was quite delicious. I selected the London Broil sandwich with tender beef and toppings on a in house fresh baked roll. It was moist, tasty and well prepared. For a beverage I selected the Balance shake which contained avocado and banana. It was very creamy and smooth, a delicate flavor and not too sweet. Excellent!“
“I just got the popcorn chicken and man.. I love it. They have a non-spicy option, which is a lot better for me. They give a huge portion and it tastes great. It's definitely my go to popcorn chicken spot. The popcorn chicken seems to be bigger compared the last time I went here a year ago.“
“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.“
“Ok so it was our first time here we were visiting from Sacramento and saw and stopped and I must say I am so happy we did. I got citrus hurricane so good and a ginger shot. And yes it did not disappoint and Michael's customer service was amazing and he even gave us a little background info on the place and has my hopes high that they will be in Sacramento soon yeah let's go“
“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.“
“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)“
“I do not drink coffee, but I do love a good breakfast sandwich and Cafeto Coffee Shop makes great breakfast sandwiches and paninis. They have seats right in front that always seem to catch a sunny day, so it's a nice place to sit and have a coffee/tea or bite to eat. My boyfriend likes ordering the pastrami panini and then adding an egg to it. I either go the breakfast croissant route or skip right onto the chicken pesto panini, both are good and just depends on the mood I'm in. I do like their iced tea, which comes unsweetened and gives for a little perk in the morning. The people here are really nice and accommodate our little additions.“
“Had lunch at HD noodles and went here after lunch for dessert.Ordered a sampler. It was pretty good. Food was 4-1/2 stars but service was 5. Overall good experience. Also, not many place open for late night snacks.I had black sesame walnut paste, mango saga, ham sandwich, and drinks“
“I recently had a fantastic experience here. The food was not only delicious but also arrived promptly, just a minute after placing our order. In an era where quick service is a rarity, it was refreshing to find a place that exceeded expectations. I’m definitely looking forward to returning for another enjoyable meal before we head back to North Carolina.“
“Excellent food and a warm and inviting atmosphere. The one person behind the counter was a little sleepy but kept up with demand, an admirable trait. The acai bowls are good value, fresh and flavorful and quite filling! And you can't really beat pour-over coffee, just a pity it only comes in one size... Overall a mellow vibe and a nice way to kick off the day!“
