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 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.“

“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!!!“

“I got Feng Cha’s milk tea for the first time today. From the first sip, I could feel myself being transported straight to my hometown of Taipei, Taiwan. The place was very clean and the service extremely quick. Jiayou, Feng Cha! Continue making your delicious bobas. 🫡“

“Big fan of the signature milk tea that has all of the toppings like red bean and jelly. Great texture, great tea flavor and not too sweet like some other milk teas I’ve had, even at regular sugar levels. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Chinatown- one of the better SF milk tea shops for sure“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Friendly staff and yummy tea. Thank you“

“Friendly service, very clean Love the passion fruit“

“I visited this boba place, and it was really nice. The bubble tea was very good, and I loved that you can choose two syrup flavours, which is a great option. The popping bubbles were sweet and tasty, and I also liked that you can choose how much ice and sugar you want — less, medium, or more.
The only downside was the staff. The person taking the order spoke very quickly, so it was hard to understand, and the order wasn’t repeated at the end. It wasn’t a big issue, but it would have been nicer if the service was a bit clearer.“

“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!!“

“Stopped by for a brown sugar boba milk and got the deep brown sugar flavor I wanted! Pearls are perfectly chewy and a great size (slightly smaller than many other shops', which I like)! I do wish there was more attention to the interior but perhaps there wasn't enough space in the back for all the stock/boxes. There's enough seating for two, but thankfully there's the neighboring park for groups with more people! Love that they have food in their selection and I think the eggette skewers are such a great idea! Hope to be back soon to try other drink items.“

“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.“

“Love this place. I 1st discovered this place when my kid was at UC Davis. Great boba drinks and love their popcorn chicken. Today I got their special the fried octopus and jasmine tea. Super delicious. Will definitely come back. And so glad that they are all over the Bay Area.“

“I came here this evening and ordered a bubble tea from the kiosk. The woman working was incredibly friendly, and they have a cute little store. But I ordered a black milk tea with 25% sugar and received an incredibly sweet brown sugar milk tea instead. It was way too sweet, but probably just an oversight.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We're so lucky to have so many great boba cafes here in San Francisco. And Black Sugar is one of them.

It's a small spot at the edge of the Tenderloin near Union Square. They have a few caffeine-free choices and I got their mango sago, which is a mango puree with grapefruit bits and coconut milk. Since it already had sago, I didn't add boba, which is good btw. Its has that qq bounce and is softly sweetened with brown sugar.

The mango was so refreshing! The coconut added a creamy texture and the grapefruit bits added a pop of tartness. The sago added another layer of texture that was both soft and chewy. I usually like to take my time with boba drinks, but this one was so good that I drank it pretty fast.

I usually order mine online for pick up. But service is pretty quick after ordering. Though I can imagine it's busier on weekends.

I've had several of their drinks, including their popular black sugar fresh milk, and they are all good. Definitely take a detour when you're in Union Square when the boba craving hits.“

“First visit since pandemic. I visited the shop many times during pandemic. It small boba shop at mission. It was nice shop. I remember the first time I came during pandemic, they only took order and served the drink via the small front window. Beside boba milk tea, they also have fruit tea, small bites. The my even have half gallon size. The drink is customizable like sweetness, ice level, milk option , size and milk choice. I was around Clarion Alley at the other side and remember thus shop at the other side and I stopped by to get my favorite mangonada drink with crystal boba. I was nice to have the mangonada again.
If you are at mission area , you should give it a try.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 😭“

“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!“

“Very busy store even at night time. I finally stopped by to order after couple months since it opened eve though I pass by it so often. It is just because most of the drink have milk and I don't like tea with milk.
The store is small with 2 touch screen ordering kiosk but it was not organized nicely as I can see people just cut the line when ordering even though they came after us.
Ordering is simple as the menu is clear. As it was very busy, it took a while for the order to be ready.
The pistachio white Champacca coconut was good. This one has no dairy.“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“BOBA DRINKS, Chicken wings, spicy noodles. Social distancing, mask required, no dine_in, meter street parking, Great area near Veteran's Hospital and its across from Mr Banh Mi...“

“Tpumps is a great place to hangout with friends and get a refreshing summer drink. The price is cheap and they sell great boba, you can't really complain about the service, I went last time and they got my drink ready in less than 2 minutes. High quality boba shop.“

“Enjoying my boba during this hot day👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good Milk Tea,tastes very good“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! 🥤 🌞 🇹🇼“

“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!“

“Give their Doppo Panna latte a try. I’m not a coffee drinker normally so take my opinion lightly if you’re serious about coffee, but as a casual drinker I enjoyed it! Tried it hot both times.

Been very busy whenever I’ve visited, which has been on the weekend only so far. Possible to bring a laptop to do some work, but given the small space and busy-ness, it’s not the type of place to hole up for hours on a laptop, in my opinion. It looked like they had a WiFi network, but I can’t speak to the speed as I was using a hotspot at the time.“

“Black sugar milk tea ! Yummy“

“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.“

“Sitting as a small window on the side of Nepalese Indian restaurant, this boba shop is quite good! I was impressed by the selection of pearls, jellies, and popping boba. There's also quite a few drink flavors and a few fried foods. I ordered passionfruit mango with mango jellies, lightly sweetened. It had the perfect amount of topping and was around 60% sweet. Large is the only size offered, and at $7 with one topping, the price is fair.

There is no onsite seating, but you're right next to the library and city hall with plenty of benches. Orders can take a few minutes since employees are shared with the adjacent restaurant.

Overall, I was quite impressed considering the unassuming presentation, and I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best experience ever – thanks to Angela!

I ordered an iced Thai green milk tea and an Ohachi strawberry tea — both were super refreshing and full of flavor, not too sweet, just perfect.

What really made the visit special was Angela. She was so friendly, kind, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. She helped me choose, made sure everything was just right, and honestly gave me the best customer service I’ve ever had at a bubble tea place. It felt like talking to a friend.“
