50 Best Bubble Tea near San Bruno

“I LOVE this place! Its so fast so much stuff to choose and have plenty of styles of tea and foods!“

“I was impressed with my passionfruit tea with a bit of real pulp and seeds. It was $5.50 for the standard large size (24 oz) with a topping, an amazing deal in 2026. They definitely back off the ice if requested, sweetness is slightly high (their 50% is closer to my palate's 70%), and I appreciate the option to choose between green or black teas. The strawberry jellies are tasty, but were harder to suck up the straw. Service was fast and the interior has some tables with C-pop in the background; I'd be glad to hang out with my friends here.“

“Refreshing place 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“I love Yoma cafe, the food is amazing, great price, the owner is always so welcoming and nice to everyone.“

“tried this place when it first opened and wasn’t really wow’d…turns out i should have given them more of a chance, i just hadn’t found my fav drinks yet!

recommend: the black sesame milk tea with cream topping (the black sesame and the black tea flavor is strong so the cream evens it out nicely), crème brûlée saigon drip is real good if u want something with lots of caffeine, and then i love the pistachio coco jasmine drink for something light and low caffeine.

also pandan egg waffle is nice, kinda wish it was bigger for the price“

“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.“

“Friendly staff and yummy tea. Thank you“

“Outstanding boba - texture is always on point, the packaging is adorable, and the woman working there (I think it’s just 1 person?) is so sweet. Always quick to make the drinks, and I especially love the jasmine milk tea w/ matcha cloud!“

“Ume Ume Ume I love you! Arguably the best price performance boba in the bay. You can still get <$6 drinks including toppings. They have a monopoly on that drinkable mochi topping (other places have tried but the texture is never as good). I am obsessed with their winter seasonal special that I hope never goes away - the purple sticky rice and mochi combo milk tea. So so so good. Excited to them to open in San Mateo as well to fill that void between Palo Alto and Burlingame. So good, such good price performance. Love!“

“Eating lunch here right now with the family on a weekend. The service is very friendly and speedy. The space is also very clean and open. The place is kind of tucked away in office buildings but there was still a good amount of people here on a weekend. The kids loved the pond area outside to run around and look at the ducks. The food is also very good. Lots of light and heartier options. We got masubis, loco moco and bibimbop bowls along with some drinks. We’ll definitely be back especially since the kids love it here.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have not yet made a visit in person yet, but have ordered from here and got it delivered via DoorDash multiple times. I usually order from here when I am craving for a quality refreshing drink, since the ingredients they use here are premium and authentic. I believe everything here is made or order which is always a plus for me since it is quality over quantity. I highly recommend this place to all boba enthusiasts, if you need a refreshing drink, to anyone willing to try something new, make a visit here when it is hot outside or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I definitely will make a visit in person one day and to continue ordering from here.“

“Mango juice tastes so good! Eggettes so soft!“

“Always one of my favorite stops if I’m already going for a walk around downtown San Mateo. They’re more well known for their grass jelly (no surprise given the name), but their regular milk teas are also very good as well! I usually go for their orange carmella milk teas, but the snowy tops are also a good treat, especially on a warm day.“

“Very nice spot to get a tasty fresh bite. Lots of choices and fast service.“

“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!“

“I really enjoyed the floral aroma of the jasmine tea combined with the creamy milk, it made the drink feel refreshing and unique. One thing to note is that Molly Tea doesn’t offer a wide variety of toppings. If you’re a fan of black tapioca pearls, you won’t find them here; they only have white pearls. The sweetness level is also well balanced, not overly sweet, so it’s easy to finish a whole drink without feeling overwhelmed. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I’d love to come back to try some of their other floral tea flavors.“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by after being at the beach and it was so delicious! I got the tonkotsu and he got the miso ramen. It was phenomenal. We have only one at our home city in Indiana and this blew it out of the water! The waitress was super sweet and the vibes were nice. I cannot stress enough how tasty the food was!“

“I was looking through my photos and realized I never left a review when I tried Mama Go's 2 years ago. I remember ordering the adobo chicken and pork bicol express and loving it so much. If I ever go back to SFO, I will eat there again.“

“I'm a mystery shopper for boba tea. This tea place is one of the best in the bay area. Itea, Purple Kow, Tea Era, Boba Lab are also quite good.“

“Stopped by B&B and had an amazing bánh mì. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell he really cares about both the food and his customers.

The sandwich was huge and packed with fresh ingredients. I also loved hearing that he doesn't carry ingredients over from one day to the next, so everything stays fresh. That attention to quality definitely shows in the taste.

Great food, generous portions, and genuinely kind service. I'll definitely be coming back for another bánh mì!“

“I’m a snob about Matcha, 90% of matcha lattes in the City and Town are garbage, BUT THIS matcha is FIRE almost turned around mid block after my first sip to tell the staff THANK YOU for getting it right👏👏👏. My new SF matcha spot, excited to try the milk teas and snacks next time!“

“Thank you so much to the staff of T Pumps for having our order ready for us right on time.
We ordered 287 Boba from them for a 8th grade graduation breakfast recently. It went as well as I could hope or even better!! Had all of them ready and on little ice by 8:30 am!!!
Thank you so much for helping with this the Bowditch breakfast for the kids was a hit your boba was scooped up before anything!!!!“

“I always get their matcha it’s pretty good most of the time

Except there have been a few occasions where the boba seemed like not done and had a tough texture which isn’t great

Service is usually super quick and friendly as well

Also they say the boba isn’t ready til 11:30 just a heads up if ur headed there when they open, although I’ve still ordered it as soon as they open and they’ve had it“

“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.“

“After seeing Ivonnie S.' popcorn chicken photos, I needed to come to Foam Tea House. Their popcorn chicken bento box w/milk tea $16 was indeed good. I liked how there's basil in the popcorn chicken and came with a little thing of spicy Taiwanese powder. The egg rolls were the Costco type, not that there's anything wrong with that. For Taiwanese bentos, I would have preferred a traditional pickled egg or vegetables instead. Food came out quick. Good job Foam Tea House staff member and thank you Ivonnie for always posting useful content.

Background: This location used to be a bakery for a long time. Rolling Out Bakery used to have some good croissants, egg tarts and kouign amanns. The nerd card store Versus Games is still here. The card shop was packed full of people playing card games like Pokemon or Magic taking up all the parking.“

“Good Milk Tea,tastes very good“

“Cuppa is a neighborhood gem! They have awesome matcha and their food is awesome. Shoutout to their pricing as well. Way cheaper than the vast majority of boba shops in SF. Best spam Musubi and spicy crab Musubi! It’s a must try! The spicy crab fries are a must as well!

Did I mention they also have froyo?!! The only dole whip I’ve seen outside of Disneyland!“

“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.“

“NEW in the Highlands: At last, our own boba tea joint and it’s awesome! RareTea took over the Hawaiian BBQ space, and it’s serving up Okinawa and Jasmine milk teas every bit as good as it is back in Taiwan 🇹🇼! Props to the owners braving COVID shutdown and having a go at their small business — from the looks on the little kids’ faces, we are glad and we will be back, often! 🥤 🌞 🇹🇼“

“Yum… Can’t get enough of P-Town Coffee n Tea.“

“Black sugar milk tea ! Yummy“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“Super fast service from the Master boba technician and awesome crew ❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“Best tuna melt I ever had. Thank you so much. I enjoyed my lunch.“

“Have come here before and will keep coming back- great selection of fruit teas, milk teas, smoothies, even soft serve and egg puff waffle. I was introduced to this place by friends who really like this boba spot too. It’s a small store inside but they process orders quickly and there’s 3 little screens to place your order on. No bathroom or inside seating, though there are 2 benches just outside.
I got the honey lemon with aloe, regular ice, 50% sugar, with agar (pictured) and it was a good option for a hot day when I wanted something light.“

“Love this place the wait and drive is worth it“

“Tried Grapeholic and it’s a nice change from typical boba spots. Their grape drinks are super refreshing with real fruit flavor, and the cheese foam pairs surprisingly well.

The presentation is great and the vibe is modern, but prices are a bit high and drinks can be on the sweeter side.

Overall, worth trying if you want something different. 4/5 👍“

“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!“

“The restaurant was empty at 7pm. They have a $12 snack & drink combo. My popcorn chicken and Thai iced tea tasted fine. The random thing is, they have a wall of Chinese knick knacks for sale, like candy and ceramic bowls. I like how my drink weren't too sweet. Service was fine and my food came out in a reasonable amount of time.“

“Yummy 😋 and good place! And friendly staff“

“Best sandwich ever in Excelsior area ��� The bread is always crunchy and the meat is amazingly flavorful. My always choice is of course #6 grilled pork with well-seasoned meat and abundantly fresh veggies. #3 combination is also a should-try . It is what I believe the most traditional one. Besides these, a must-have is definitely Vietnamese ice coffee. It is made strong and sweet beautifully bringing me back the flavor which I always miss when being away from home. A strongly- recommended spot when you are in the area...���“

“太棒了，肉品沒吃多少，倒是吃了好幾磅的櫻桃🍒“

“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!“

“Everytime I come here, I question why I don’t come more often. The prices in comparison to the service and the great taste are amazing. The lady is so thoughtful and generous with her suggestions and information. I wish this place was in a more open place so it would be more known.“

“Tea World is my favorite boba shop in Pacifica.“

“I love this place! The Rose latte was wonderful as were the desserts.“

“I had not been to this specific Quickly below because there are a couple others closer to where I live and usually shop. I really liked the size and decor, and the ease of using the Revi ordering kiosk.
My passion fruit slush with double aloe was really good, though it started melting pretty fast. My husband's Jasmine milk tea was exactly as advertised. The popcorn chicken was really good, even if it took some time to make (which they do warn you about, so I'm not mad). I will definitely return to this Quickly in the future.“
