My group ordered the Guava Green Grape, Jasmine Strawberries & Cream, King Jasmine Honeydew. They were all great. The Guava Green Grape- this is a great option for those looking for dairy free drinks. The guava and grape flavor are fresh tasting and there are grape chunks at the bottom. Jasmine Strawberries & Cream- yummy strawberry cheese top! The jasmine flavor and strawberry paired well. King Jasmine Honeydew - incredible honeydew flavor!

Sadly, we don't have Hey Tea in Sacramento, yet! We made sure it is on the itinerary for our 3-day…read moreweekend trip in SF. We came here twice! Parking is very difficult, especially on Friday but worth the trouble of parking further and walk over. Every time I tell myself that I will get something else. I end up getting my love - Coconut Mango Boom. Especially when Mango is in season right now! It's such a refreshing, light and delicious drink. I'm mildly lactose and my stomach is totally happy and in agreement with coconut milk. I also had a sip of my friend's matcha latte. It was very smooth and not water down matcha like other places. Download the app and order in advance. There is only one kiosk in the store and this location is super busy and popular.

I've never done a tea tasting before; so this was a wonderful experience (esp since it's free...you just have to make a reservation). Our tea guide Shi was very informative and answered a couple of off-the-script questions. We went at a time when it was less busy - so it was also easier to hear all the tea facts. Afterwards, we decided to partake in more tea...because why not? (For comparison, we've been to a location in the South Bay during the weekend, which was a daunting, chaotic, and long experience in and of itself.) Overall, very pleasant. Thank you, Shi and the Chicha San Chen staff.

I ordered their signature milk tea, and it was creamy, fragrant, and tea-forward. The boba was also made perfectly and had me wanting to order another drink! I just found out they are opening a Pleasonton location so I can't wait to make my way through the rest of their menu. If you're in the Serramonte area, definitely get your bubble tea fix here!

A local friend highly recommended the crème brûlée milk tea here. To make things even better, the…read moreparking gods were on my side and blessed me with a spot right around the corner, which meant I could enjoy my drink inside while giving my tired feet a much-needed break. I don't normally drink a lot of boba, but vacations are for treating yourself, right? The crème brûlée milk tea was basically dessert in a cup. You could actually taste and chew on little bits of torched caramelized sugar throughout the drink. The boba itself was perfectly cooked, soft and chewy. And then there was pudding in there too! Every sip had me going "ooh" and "ahh" as I discovered another delicious texture. The only downside was that the drink only comes in one size, and it was a bit too much for me. I was genuinely sad that I couldn't finish it. That's one of the reasons I don't order boba very often. I can eat way more food than I can drink liquid for some reason. But I'd happily return to Urban Ritual to work my way through more of their milk tea menu the next time I'm in San Francisco.

My friend and I decided to take a break for tea since it was an unusually warm afternoon in SF, and…read morewe were exhausted from walking around all day. We didn't have to wait in line to order, but all of the tables inside were packed. I was in need of something light and refreshing, so I decided to try the lychee IPA (non-alc). My drink was prepared promptly, and it immediately quenched my thirst. The lychee flavor tasted fresh, and its sweetness was tempered by the subtle hops flavor. The drink was also lightly carbonated with just the right amount of fizz. The menu wasn't as extensive as those of the larger, more established boba shops, and I wish there had been more fruit-flavored teas - especially for the summer. Nevertheless, I can't wait to try other tea varieties on my next visit.

I walked about 30 minutes and arrived too early as the store did not open until noon. I walked out to Geary Blvd. and there was a lot of construction as I explored the area. I returned with only 14 minutes left before opening. The lady opening the store was raising the blinds on the windows facing the street. She unlocked the door shortly after noon and directed me to the kiosk to order. I knew I wanted the peach oolong milk tea at 75% sweet with no ice. It had been quite windy on the walk. Because of a coconut allergy in the family I had to ask if the popular mango pomelo sago had any coconut. Unfortunately, it has coconut (milk or oil?). As soon as I heard coconut, it was a no go. I wasn't familiar with pomelo and the lady told me it was like grapefruit. I still wanted to order a mango drink and went instead with the mango smoothie also 75% sweet with less ice. The customer following me asked about alternative milks which they do have. I overheard that they have oat and almond milk. Both drinks were excellent. The milk tea was not too sweet and I appreciated the peach bits in the drink. The mango smoothie was really creamy.

The menu seemed pretty standard with classic milk and fruit teas with a few seasonal specialties. We placed our order at the kiosk and waited almost 15 minutes for our drinks despite being the only customers in the shop. I ordered the mango pomelo sago drink since it was one of the few caffeine-free drinks on the menu, and it was tasty! The mango + pomelo + milk was an unexpected combination, but the sweet + tangy + creamy flavors paired together surprisingly well. I also liked the textural elements from the sago and fresh pomelo and mango. My mom and brother also really liked their fruit teas, so we will most likely be back soon.

For this location, the shop is located inside the Kinokuniya Mall in Japantown in San Francisco. [Parking]: There are two parking garages - The Main Garage (1610 Geary Boulevard) and The Fillmore Annex Garage (1650 Fillmore Street). Parking rate = $5 per hour from 12 PM to 6 PM and $3 per hour outside of those hours. I got lucky and was able to find metered parking spots near the intersection of Buchanan St and Sutter St (free on Sunday). [Atmosphere]: Matcha Cafe Maiko is located on the first level of Kinokuniya Mall. This is mostly a takeout only spot with no indoor tables and limited chairs available. [Menu]: Most visitors come here for the matcha soft-serve ice cream. The shop also offers the Golden Sho-Gun 24K gold soft-serve ice cream. Other items include sundaes, parfaits, lattes, cream foam lattes, and teas. *** Soft Serve Ice Cream (Matcha, Cone - $6.95): Amazing ice cream - creamy and dense with a strong matcha flavor. *** This is a fantastic matcha ice cream shop - two big thumbs up.
