    Great spot for a cheap milk tea run, but flavor is not crazy to write home about. It is a cozy local run business though, so I'd personally return if I'm in the area just for the pricing they have. Nice to see other milk options for their fresh milk drinks. It shares a store with Super Pan, which is a great spot to eat at in the Richmond.

    Hokkaido Milk Tea w/ Boba and Pudding
    Anh T.

    I came here during the weekend and was able to find parking near the residential area. The design of the boba shop/restaurant was a bit odd, with minimal decorations and bright colored areas. I ordered the Hokkaido Milk Tea with Boba and Pudding. While the customer service was not up to par with what I wanted, my drink came out in a timely manner and tasted good! My friend saw that they were advertising Japanese soft-serves, so she got a chocolate one. We thought it was going to be fresh, but it came out of a freezer with ice around the soft serve. Still, she enjoyed it. I am interested in trying the food they offer during another visit!

    honey lemon green tea w/ boba, 50% sugar, less ice
    Linda K.

    Drinks (3/5): I bought 5 drinks in total for my friends. All of them said it tastes really good, but my drink (honey lemon green tea) tasted horrible. It would've been better if the lemon skin wasn't in the drink. All I was able to taste was the lemon skin. Service (1/5): No hate to the barista or anything- I understand that he was alone in the shift during the time, but the attitude towards me and my niece when we were ordering and making the drinks was really unnecessary. I believe that he was being really moody because I placed a pretty big order and he had to do it on his own- which I understand -- big orders, more work to do... but he did not have to slam the drinks in the basket after finishing with one drink. When we were about to leave, we said "thank you" and "bye have a great day" but he didn't even bother to say a word back, and instead just glared at us. Environment (4/5): Place is pretty clean and organzied. Space is pretty small but I understand. There was also areas to sit on while waiting for our drinks to be made so that was a good thing. Overall: 2/5 -- Would be higher if the barista was treating us a slight bit better and without the attitude towards us.

    Peach Slush w Boba
    Ron P.

    Stopped by after dinner for some bubble tea. I got the peach slush w boba and it was good! The price was $5.50 which I think is decent for the bay area.

    Organic Jasmine Green Milk Tea w/ Boba
    Kamy T.

    Came here after dinner close by. It's been a long time since I've been here but it's still what I remember! Got the Jasmine milk tea with boba and it was solid - strong tea flavor, chewy boba. They don't offer an option to adjust ice/sweetness level here (maybe unless you ask, but I don't think they're trained to do so according to the menu), but my drink wasn't overly sweet. Fast service. Not your modern boba shop but a nice local spot.

    Mango Sago w/ Lychee Jelly and Black Milk Tea
    Anthony N.

    2/5. Was in the area with few friends and we all had a craving for some boba. E Tea was close by, so why not give this spot a try. The Food: I went with a Mango Sago with Lychee Jelly and my friend had a Black Milk Tea with boba. The mango sago wasn't that great. The mango flavor was incredibly overwhelming and sweet. The Black Milk Tea was bitter and had a little burnt after taste. Not sure how that happened, but we ended up just trashing it. Boba pearls and lychee jelly tasted good though. The Service: Service was good! Staff was friendly when we walked in and browsed the menu. The Atmosphere: Nice ad small boba shop. It looks like they serve food as well inside, and from the dishes we saw some people eat. It looked very good. Maybe the food is just better than the drinks. Overall, a 2/5. The milk tea's we had were not good. It could've just been that particular day, but I don't think I'd recommend this place.

    Matcha milk tea with boba
    Sydney J.

    I ordered online for pickup from Super Pan, which it turns out shares a physical space with E Tea. I got a matcha milk tea with boba. I asked in the special requests section for 25% sweetness and no or lowest possible ice. It still tasted quite sweet but I could definitely taste the matcha. They did honor the request for no ice. The boba was sweet and just the right firmness.

    Passion fruit Tea
    Samuel L.

    A cute little shop serving a variety of teas and drinks. The decor was a bit cluttered and the service was a bit lackluster. The drinks were a little too sweet even though I got half sugar, but I would still rate this an average score just because the flavors were there and the boba was cooked well. It's definitely nothing special, but if you need a spot for a quick, refreshing drink, this is a pretty good option! Prices are really good too!

    Guava Green Tea- not good
    Joanne C.

    This place reminds me of quicklys where middle schoolers come after school. But still I wanted to give it a chance. I got the guava green tea 50% sweet and there was LITERALLY NO tea flavor. Tasted like water with guava syrup. I had to toss it in the trash cause it was just that bad ): Normally I would come back to try their other drinks but I don't know if I want to spend the money and have the drink taste bad again.

    Guava Green Tea w/ Aloe Salty Cheese Crema Drink
    Alli W.

    Pretty empty when we dropped by around noon on a Sunday. The menu is very confusing.... Feels like it's everywhere? Service is pretty quick and friendly. Organic black tea with salted cheese crema - 10/10. So good! It wasn't too sweet at all although I got 100% sweetness. Salted cheese crema went together with black tea so well, and made the drink very creamy with a tiny hint of sweetness. Their other salted cheese crema are the same! A huge fan of these drinks. Guava green tea - 5/10. No flavor of tea at all. Tastes like water mixed with guava syrup.

    Black Sugar Milk Tea
    Paul B.

    Friendly, helpful service. Solid, milk tea. Maybe a tad watery, but i enjoyed it. The boba was good. Quaint place. Light music in the background, which is coming from the food place next door with which E Tea shares space.

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.

After a few errands south of the City, I decided to return to a restaurant on the same block where I bought and enjoyed some takeout food a few months ago. This store is on the corner of the same block. With the weather on the warmer side, I made a point to get something for my drive to the office after lunch. I tried the pineapple passion fruit green tea, 30% sweetness, regular ice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=nM6OcRVRggpSAdnSmkkO3g); I liked the flavor of the tea in a definite pineapple forward flavored drink; there was quite a few pineapple chunks here while the passion fruit was subdued with just a few seeds in the bottom. It hit the spot as I finished a little more than half when I arrived my destination. I brought the cup home and added ice to stretch my drink into a beverage with dinner. When I walked by, there were five or six customers in the store either drinking or eating or waiting for their orders. When I walked in, there was only one person picking his drink as I studied the menu. As a left, I couple of people walked in to place their orders so, on weekday afternoons, the business seems steady but not crazily busy. The cashier was curt and efficient in taking my order and telling me when my drink was ready. I will study their menu and might try their slushy drinks when I'm in the neighborhood again.
