I've been to boba guys many times, and today I wanted to try the Sapin Sapin drink, which is a drink form of the filipino dessert. It's made with jackfruit, coconut milk (and some coconut bits on top), and ube, which all sounds very yummy and the photo on the website showing all the layers was pretty enticing. I can't speak to the authenticity of the taste as I've never had the dessert itself.I didn't really know what to expect because I've never had jackfruit, but after trying it I actually really like the taste! The closest taste I can relate jackfruit to is lychee (maybe a blend of lychee and pineapple), and it just has this very tropical fruit taste - citrusy sweetness. The drink has a bit of a grainy texture perhaps due to the fruit and coconut milk. There's also some bits of coconut floating on top, which is crunchy barky as you bite into it and gets coconut stringy as you chew more. I personally can't really taste the ube this time.Note: I didn't get any boba or topping so I thought the skinny straw is fine, but it just didn't stir the layered drink up so I had to switch to the big straw. Even then it took some effort to stir and swirling the cup to get the drink fully mixed. Overall I really like this drink, I easily drank half of my 16oz cup. 5/5!

I don't remember liking the Boba Guys when I first had it in NYC. But coming back now, I've changed my mind!The cashier person was super informative and knowledgeable of their menu. Not a lot of drinks had milk subs, so I ended up with the Mango Matcha Latte with Boba, which did not come included. The drink was absolutely refreshing, delicious and tasted of quality! I was most impressed by their boba, which can be a hit or miss at places. I can trust them for chewy ones here!The Mango Jasmine Tea, a fruit tea, was also incredible as well! There is an emphasis on the teas here than fruit, so expect to really taste the fragrant jasmine!Both drinks were from their Summer Menu, and I paid around $13.50 for the 2. I wish the drinks come with Boba for such a high price tag, but the quality is above standards. I couldn't stop thinking about getting their Banana Milk soon after, so I'll definitely visit again for that.

Free wifi (super fast too)Wall plugsComfortable tables/seatingDelicious boba and coffee drinksFriendly staffI came here to get some work done after running some errands nearby. Thought i'd take a chance here since I didn't want coffee. The space is spacious and casual and has all the necessary elements to get work done. Was not crowded due to it being a weekday afternoon too. Would definitely visit again!

sapin sapin was very rich and a lot to ingest (probably wouldn’t get again), the strawberry matcha (what they’re known for) is very good but can’t adjust sweetness without taking away strawberry flavour!

Came here after a few hours at the park and we were happy to find seats inside. Not many boba places have seating anymore so this was nice!Ube Latte - super creamy but really sweet. It tasted like ube candy. I would ask to adjust the sweetness level next time.Korean Banana Milk - creamy and not super sweet. The banana didn't taste artificial which I appreciated. I'm not a huge fan of banana milk but this was good. The boba was overcooked as it was very mushy.

This is the best place to get boba in San Francisco. In fact it's the best boba I've had anywhere. The selection is vast.

Only reviewing the sapin sapin boba.I was not a fan. I felt like the entire drink was sipping the syrup from the jackfruit can. It was too overwhelming. I didn't taste any ube at all. I felt like that was just a smear on the cup, which is fine, but I guess I expected there would be more of it than just that. I was underwhelmed despite not having any expectation.It made me think how I would spin off a sapin sapin as a drink and I couldn't come up with an idea. I'd say this was more of a jackfruit drink in coconut milk, with heavy jackfruit syrup mixed in.Ambiance wise, the place was clean and the staff was nice. I just wouldn't recommend the actual sapin sapin drink to anyone.
Great boba tea place with lots of drink options, nice ambience, and fun vibe.

Lychee tea and seasonal pandan matcha latte. Order online so you don't have to wait in line. Pick up is quick and seamless. The drinks itself are pretty refreshing however a bit on the pricey side. Why do they charge 8.50+ for just one drink? What a profit from there end. All in all, I frequent when I'm in the area and wouldn't go out of the way to come just for their drinks.

Good boba. Smaller menu. I got an espresso milk tea. Great service.

Honestly not all that hype. I was kinda let down. I got the ube latte and it was powdery. The boba was nice and chewy though! Maybe I just got a bad drink. But I wasn't that impressed.

I used to like this shop but the owners/upper management treat their workers terribly (underpaying, wage theft, misuse of gov loans, union busting). I’d rather support other boba places than this chain that exploits its super sweet n talented staff. I’m not planning to come back unless boba guys successfully unionizes.
