50 Best Bubble Tea near South San Francisco

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

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

“Yummy 😋 and good place! And friendly staff“

“I've been taking my family here for just a few months and we're always happy with our overall experience. The staff is extremely kind and patient. The food and drinks are excellent and consistent. There are so many choices in our area but we've finally found our spot for great refreshments.“

“just like the old Bambu Desserts! #Avocado with boba and color jelly!! easy parking they increase prices tho'“

“Love the soft serve ice cream!!! Tea is great as well!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I absolutely loved this place! The milk tea was perfectly balanced — rich and creamy but not overly sweet — and the pearls were soft and chewy with just the right texture. I also tried their desserts, and they were such a pleasant surprise: fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. It’s definitely one of the best spots I’ve been to for milk tea and sweet treats. I’ll be coming back again and again!“

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

“Friendly service, very clean Love the passion fruit“

“Bought the passion fruit tea. A good drink for a hot day, pretty refreshing and sweeter. The ambience is pretty nice with 2 tables and bar stools. They have some cute products on the side. Cute Chinese decorations. It is also next to the fortune cookie store so it is perfect while someone wait in line and get some drinks here!“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“Why can’t all boba be like this. So flavorful, loaded with perfectly diced fresh fruit. Boba was absolutely perfectly cooked. In a city full of disappointing boba, with “fruit teas” that routinely contain little fresh fruit, this is an absolute standout. So glad I found it, and will definitely be back to try a mango smoothie!!“

“Very close to Union Square. Very small spot indoors so it's mainly an order and go boba spot.

I wanted a drink with boba already included so I ordered the black sugar latte ($5.95 before tax). The drink comes cold and I picked less ice, medium sweet, and in a paper cup (they offer this as the sustainable option). The straw is also compostable commercially so yay! My drink was sweeter than I anticipated, given I ordered medium sweet (which is the less sweet option), but still delicious.

There's minimal interaction with the employees. You order at the self serve kiosk (unless you want to pay in cash. I didn't see a discount mentioned for paying cash) and then they bring out the drinks and call out the name of the order. Also didn't realize that SF has a healthy mandate of 6%, which looks to be separate than the SF city employer mandate of 5%, so my order was applicable for the 6% mandate, but not the 5% mandate.“

“came from sf for the love and deepspace collab! we got the caleb (apple oolong) and sylus (grapefruit) drinks. caleb tasted kinda sandy but there were five million people in the store, so no worries. both really tasty still. i recommend 100% sweet. good luck to the workers because there were a lot of whiny people you guys are the best 😭👍“

“The drinks are excellent. The food is all decent for the most part, but I absolutely love the fried rice for a comfort meal. It's clear they make it to order because it's so hot and fresh whenever I get it. Add an egg, you won't regret it!“

“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!“

“Friendly staff and yummy tea. Thank you“

“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.“

“The Longan Lime Green Tea is what you want :) It’s not a common combination I see which is why I ordered it - was pleasantly surprised! It’s slightly sweet yet refreshing.

Quiet for a Friday evening around 6pm but don’t let that turn you away! Staff is friendly. Cash and card accepted both at the kiosk and the counter register. Limited seating inside and no bathroom.“

“Tea was delicious and they had various unique flavors. Will return!“

“This is a solid place to get coconut pudding when the craving hits. They have a wide variety of flavors, each packed in a cute reusable glass jar. I’m really glad this place exists in SF, so I don’t have to leave the city for this treat.“

“Service was fast and efficient. Food was good.“

“Black sugar milk tea ! Yummy“

“My favorite spot for Vietnamese iced coffee on the island! The Egg Coffee is so creamy and delicious, a real treat.

I only wish they could open earlier and take even more of my money 😭 I can't tell you how many times I've woken up excited to pick up coffee during the workweek and realized they don't open until 10 🥹 Pleaseee consider opening at 8 or 9am 😭“

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

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

“I love the passion fruit tea! You have to try it!!!!“

“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!“

“The tea here is good compared to other tea shops in the area. The milk and sugar doesn't overwhelm the tea. The shop is decorated with anime figures but there's no seating in the shop. Ordering is through just 1 kiosk, but our tea order of 4 was prepared in a timely manner. Parking was not a problem on a Tuesday afternoon.“

“Walked in here today to grab a boba drink with my daughter. I ordered a matcha mango latte with boba and daughter got a classic milk tea with boba. We love our drinks. staff was super friendly and asked for feedbacks or need to adjust the drink for us or not.“

“Tried the coconut grass jelly milk tea with 30% sugar, I don't have sweet teeth so it is still a little bit sweet, otherwise it is pretty good, the toppings are very fresh and you can taste the coconut quite a bit. There are also a lot of seats inside, clean, can hangout with friend there.“

“When I visited, the store had no seating and had closed their restrooms to customers, not sure if this is a usual thing. I ordered from an iPad, I liked that it had photos & an in-depth description of all the different tea options. My friend got the Oreo Matcha & I got the Lil’ Giraffe. It was pretty good, I was surprise they didn’t already come with the traditional boba ($0.75 additional charge). My friend’s was better, I didn’t taste much of the cake batter maybe due to my 75% sweetness instead of 100%? I wouldn’t recommend the Lil’ Giraffe, I’m sure there other options are better.“

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

“Enjoying my boba during this hot day👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wonderfully authentic milk teas etc..boba perfect..always remember you but now Yvonne is down in financial district shop..have not been there but here on Geary..it’s the best tea around..try the salty whip cream as well..very well done! Recc. highly..“

“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“

“I'm obsessed with the passionfruit green tea. One thing I love about this shop is the fresh fruit in their fruit teas, I think it makes a huge difference in the flavor. Passionfruit is hard to find in SF as well.

Staff is super nice and the drinks come out quickly.“

“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! 🥤 🌞 🇹🇼“

“TeaHut in Millbrae is great for fresh, real fruit tea. The Mango Pomelo Sago is a must-try—perfectly sweet with real ingredients. The Full Cup of Strawberries & Black Grapes is refreshing, with whole, in-season grapes. Cozy spot, and parking is convenient too!“

“Best Dang Gone Place To Afford Milk 🥛 Tea 🍵 In San Francisco & A Few But Great Varieties to choose from. My Personal Favorite Is The Alien Tonic 👽. Mmmm Taste just like Sprite. In Fact it is Sprite. But a with a Sweet & Bursting Kick Of Refreshing Taste 😋

Kid-friendliness: Nice Little Kids section over in the corner of the Milk Tea store where the children can color in the whiteboard & etc little toys and such“

“Stopped in and tried the Taro Milk Tea, overall the drink looked great with its pretty lavender color and a nice layer of foam on top. The taste was spot on and not to sweet with 30% sweetness. Additionally, the staff is super friendly, making it a perfect spot to hang out.“

“Great selection and excellent flavors. We also experienced uncommon kindness when my friend accidentally ordered something different from what she intended and the staff immediately offered to make her a new drink with what she meant to order. So kind.“

“I looove their classic milk tea! I’m not even a big boba fan, but their blend is so good. We always get it to go since seating is limited and parking can be tricky.

Pro tip: download the app - you get a free drink after 10. Just wish you didn’t have to re-add your card every time. Great location overall!“

“Could not be more appreciative of their excellent customer service. I dropped a drink I ordered inside their store on the floor, not only did they clean it up, but also made a new one for me. I am so grateful! The drink is also very delicious, they put a lot of efforts in making it just right.“
