Been here several times & while in the area decided to ask if they are offering a K-pop collab. The person answering the phone didn't have any customer service etiquette, she didn't greet me in a way that made me feel like a customer. I felt more like a nuisance asking her if they are doing a collab. Calling over the phone really left a bad impression that I feel was unwarranted. read more

Finally, a boba shop that actually has the avocado smoothie in stock! Most places sell out because it's so popular, but Foam came through--and with real avocado too. Their avocado smoothie was incredibly fresh, creamy, and not overly sweet. The boba was perfectly chewy and tasted super fresh, making it even better. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Nice neighborhood boba spot on Taraval. I went here a couple years ago at their location across the street. They just opened this new location where rolling out cafe used to be. It's spacious and great for small groups to get a table and sit at and relax. I ordered a 30% sweet Hong Kong milk tea with grass jelly and popcorn chicken. The tea wasn't too bad, I usually get around 30% or less sweetness level drinks. I think I should have gotten 50% for this one because it would have tasted better if it were just a tad sweeter but that just comes down to preference. The chicken was almost $10 after tax. Good sized portion though. The chicken was pretty salty. Overall a good list of drinks and looking forward to coming back to try more things. read more

I've been to this place a handful of times. They close early, so it's hard for me to visit regularly. Many times it after I eat pho next door and I'm too late. It's been unusually warm and I was able to stop by for early afternoon refreshment. I was surprised to see that they offer sugar cane juice--perfect drink for a hot Indian summer day. I ordered the passionfruit sugarcane juice and it was very refreshing, naturally sweet--no added sugars. It's a small shop with limited seating, but it's nice that they offer seating. The person behind the counter was super friendly. You can order on the kiosk, if paying by card or at the counter if by cash. They are also located up the block from Sarang Hello and across the street from the post office. If want refreshments/snacks after errands, it's a great place to take a break. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

I love Foam. Their drinks are some of the best drinks you'll have! I had the mixed fruit drink and the other drinks, and you can never go wrong with any of them! Their food, is tasty, especially the onion rings, French fries, popcorn chicken and the spring rolls. It's great for a quick snack or a filling lunch! The service is always good and the folks working there are always willing to answer your questions and helpful. Small little spot so grab your food and drinks to go or stay for a quick meal. It can get busy, so have your order ready to go, beforehand! Photocards are of ENHYPEN members, made by @jerodellee on Instagram and Tik Tok read more

Craving popcorn chicken and there aren't too many places we know that make them nowadays in our neighborhood. After a quick search, hubs suggested trying Foam Tea House. Small place, but there were a couple of tables and seating along the window. We ordered at the kiosk - roasted oolong milk tea w/ grass jelly, Thai tea, popcorn chicken and fries. Drinks came out quickly. I ordered the roasted oolong with 30% sugar and less ice. I tend to like my teas strong, and this was a little weak for me. Hubs ordered the Thai tea, which was good. Faves were the snacks as they were made to order and came out hot and crispy. Popcorn chicken was crispy and perfect amount of saltiness. Fries were also hot, and I enjoyed them with the Sriracha ketchup. Hubs and I agreed that we'd each order our own fries and popcorn chicken next time. Would love if they offered a combo deal. read more

Came here after grabbing lunch at Dumpling Time up to block. Upon entering, I walked up to the kiosk TouchPad and ordered their Mango Slush with Sago and Panda Milk Tea. Relatively easy and paid with card. It was pretty quiet but normal, considering it was a weekday. Drinks came out fast and loaded with a generous amount of toppings. There's limited seating inside, a bit worn. Interior is decorated with custom art and has a nostalgic charm. Staff was pleasant, and we were out the door within minutes. read more

One of my besties and I were in the mood for our boba fix this past weekend. Since both of us prefer dairy alternatives, thankfully Foam offers their milk teas with Almond Milk. Both of us ordered a Matcha Milk Tea with boba in Almond Milk. Our orders were ready within 2 minutes. They give generous portions of matcha that it covered at least half of our drink. The matcha flavor was not too overpowering and it blended well with the almond milk tea's sweetness. The boba was perfectly chewy, sweet and not tough. The ambiance was impressive because of their printed cup event dedicated to Jihyo's solo release. As a Once (Twice stan), I was truly fond of the posters and the provided cups and photocards. Foam frequently collaborates with Saranghello for any cupsleeve or printed cup events. Moving forward, Foam is now my go-to boba shop along Taraval Street in San Francisco's Sunset district! read more

Did you know you can get your image on the foam tea here? That's the best thing about this place. Average drinks with slow service, even when empty. I'm not sure why they always get my order wrong. Oolong tea with salty cheese foam. Does it seem that hard, does it? Their fruit tea is lackluster, and even without sugar, I think it's presweetened because it's quite sugary. Still 3 stars average. read more

I wanted to try this place after passing by it so many times and I finally got the chance to recently. I got the lychee oolong tea, which was really good. Their menu has a ton of options to choose from, including plenty of brewed tea, which I typically go for. They also have a lot of food options, which I was tempted to order, but I had to save room for dinner, so I didn't get any food. However, all of their options look really good, so I'd like to try them next time. The drink was great. I added aloe vera as a topping and it was awesome. The only downside to this place is that it is quite pricey. I believe the drink was $7-8 which is quite expensive in my opinion. The size of the cup isn't that big either, so I think for the amount you're getting, it is a bit overpriced. The ordering process is also on a kiosk, so I can't really judge customer service on this one. However, I would consider going back if I'm around the area because the drink was good. read more

I'm so sorry, this place is bad LOL. The smell when you enter is like... A mix of greasy food and humidity. Not very appetizing. I really wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt bc it's very much a mom and pop shop... Cute hand-drawn wall art and humble decor... But this quality is kind of unforgivable :') FRESH FRUIT TEA (30% sweet w/crystal boba): This is pretty much all syrup. Mouth-stingingly sweet. I don't think they rinsed the excess syrup off the crystal boba (it comes preserved in liquid packs). The fresh fruit outside is probably just decor The staff graciously let us use their restroom, but I kind of wish we didn't....... It was filthy, unflushed, and cluttered full of boxes. Questionable hygiene for sure... read more

Came in around 7pm on a Friday night and it wasn't busy. The place is pretty small with a few seats. The walls are cutely decorated with boba inspired artwork. You order and pay on a large standing screen. There is a small service fee. Parking is pretty easy as well. There are many drink options there as well as a good variety of small snacks (rice rolls, popcorn chicken, etc.). I ordered the original milk tea (80% sweet, no boba) as well as the cantaloupe sago drink (50% sweet). I loved the sago drink! It reminds me of Hong Kong dessert cafes and wasn't too sweet. Milk tea is pretty standard, and I was charged extra for getting no ice. The flavor is fairly milky. The man making the drinks was very nice, and the drinks came out very quickly. Overall, spent about $13 on two drinks, which is pretty normal these days. Didn't try the boba, but overall, good place for a quick Asian drink fix. read more

I usually expect a boba shop to smell of brown sugar and tapioca, but this one actually had more aromas of food - things like fish balls and fries. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not as sweet as I'm used to. The girls at the counter were friendly and helpful with clarifying drinks. They mentioned that the mango green tea is one of their popular items so I ordered that for bae - tea was strong, but lacked in mango flavor. I asked if the Oreo frap was essentially an Oreo milkshake and they said yes. I didn't think you could go wrong with that, but I guess there's a first for everything. If you took a handful of Oreo cookies and blended them with ice only, you'd get the Oreo frappucino from Foam. Just crushed up ice with cookie bits. I couldn't tell you if there was milk or anything else, but it was horrendous and a mistake that I wish I could take back. I stopped after 2 sips and brought it home so that I could pour in some milk and salvage whatever was left. UPDATE: On second thought, there might be some teensy bit of milk in the drink because bae won't stop farting... read more

I want for an event that was hosted at this location we were really excited for the experience and the drinks! We all ordered a tiger milk tea, the place looked amazing but very small for the amount of people that attended this event. once we got our drinks it looked yummy, not shortly after we started drinking it we noticed how all of our drinks tasted different despite being the same drink we kinda brushed it off but later on felt very sick. I'm not sure if it was because they were rushing because of the event or what but that caused us to get poorly made drinks and to get sick, even a day after the event we still feel sick. Note: tapioca pearls had odd texture as if it was sitting out a day or night prior to the event. After mixing our drinks it wasn't sweet more bitter despite being 100% sweet and after taking a sip of it I got a huge chunk of hardened sugar//syrup. Hope this issue gets fixed or other peoples experiences were better but sadly mine and my friends wasn't the best. read more

The overall aesthetic this place is really cute! We ordered one Hong Kong style Milk Tea, Brown Sugar, and Roasted Oolong. The Hong Kong Milk Tea is still on the bitter side even though we ordered 50% sweetness. It's overall really good though! The Brown Sugar Milk Tea was pretty good. The Oolong was also pretty good! The only issue was the boba being a bit harder but it's totally OK! It was also really cute how they used black cups instead of the see through ones though it was tougher to differentiate. read more

Got here at 10:50 am for the 11 am grand opening on June 26. I was 237 in line, as an employee…read morehanded out flyers with the menu for the first 300 in line who would get a fridge magnet. There is also a BOGO, of which it's supposed to be one offer per customer but someone bragged about having done four. The line snaked from heytea, down towards Whole Foods, and back towards Onigily, and then coiled towards Wanpo. There were several security guards ensuring the retail store entrances remained accessible, keeping people from sitting on store fronts, and stopping people from cutting the line. An employee came out to offer water cups to the front of the line, and another came to help customers start circling what they wanted on the flyer. I got to the cashier at 2:40 pm, then received my order by 2:55 pm and collected my magnet. I think it was ran as smoothly as it could be but I wish the several staff we had interacted with thanked us for enduring the wait. Instead the guy I collected the magnet from just told me to take a lot of pictures and share online - zero thanks for coming out, thanks for waiting, hope you enjoy, please come back. I'm sure all the staff are really stressed out too but a little human touch with the interaction would go a long way. This line wasn't worth a $8 saving and a collectible magnet, but it was 99% Asian community coming out excited and supporting boba/tea. So many passerby ask us what the line was for, and when they learned it was just for BOGO, they would scoff and say it wasn't worth the wait. The coconut mango boom and crisp grape boom were excellent with real fruit chunks. Security guards said although the mall opens at 10 am, they will not allow people to line up at the store prior, but they may have a barricade line outside or something.

You order off a tablet and it's typically crowded, so be prepared for a small wait. I got their Banana Matcha Latte ($8/$9). The matcha was pretty bitter and left a weird taste in my mouth (I heard that they're known for their high quality matcha, so that's odd). The banana foam was very artificial-tasting. Definitely doesn't taste like the banana matcha lattes I've had before from other spots.

We also had a free tea latte to claim on the Peet's app! Upon entering, it was busy, as expected since it's near the college campus. Very small shop, seating was limited. We placed our orders. I ordered my usual London Fog latte with heavy cream and SF vanilla, David ordered his cafe au lait with heavy cream and SF vanilla. We told the cashier we had a free tea latte to claim in the app and showed her our rewards. She seemed a bit confused and asked her colleague. They both came over to explain that we could t utilize our free tea latte towards the London Fog latte I ordered which is early grey tea with milk... hence, a tea latte. Strange. This is disappointing as we build our rewards up by coming into Peet's each morning to order a tea latte and cafe au lait. Hmmm.. Anyhoo. I enjoyed my London fog, David enjoyed his cafe au lait. We ordered an iced matcha latte for a friend who works at stonestown and claimed our "free tea latte" reward this way. They made it hot. I asked to remake it to iced, as ordered. I get it, they're busy here.

Parking is definitely hard in this area since it is inside the Ferry Building, but we took public transit and it was a short walk from the Embarcadero Bart station.

There was a mishap with their ticketing system so they actually lost my ticket, but a worker helped us with that and we were able to get our order. My favorite from everything was definitely the Everything Kouign Amann. I love the cream cheese they put inside. It felt like I was eating a yummy bagel.

The everything Kouign Amann was delicious - definitely a must get here. Very creamy, flavorful, and has a light hint of sweetness. The cheese twist was also good but not as outstanding. There's extremely limited seating so assume you take it to-go and enjoy it outside or wait for a table to open up

Delicious latte but even after 3 shots of coffee it was light.

Juniper

Juniper is in my top 3 bakeries you must go to in San Francisco!…read more I have been here a handful of times already and can confidently say everything I have had here has been exceptional and delicious. The pastries are all flaky and crispy, and you can tell they were crafted by a true craftsman. I think what makes Juniper so special is the selection of unique flavors they have. My favorite being their award-winning Cubano croissant, their black sesame kouign amann, and their choux pastries. I do want to call out how much I appreciate the amount of savory pastries they have since I don't always want a sweet treat the moment I wake up. To note, Juniper is typically busy, but I have never waited in line for more than 10 minutes, even on weekends. They also have a lot of tables for seating, but because of the flow of people, it might be difficult to find a spot. Stop by here if you're around the area! They are also a sister shop of Saint Frank, so you can get some coffee while you're here as well.

Juniper is a modern café and bakery that blends specialty coffee with a strong focus on freshly…read moremade pastries. We walked into a bright, clean space with large windows and an open kitchen that lets you see the pastry team working behind the scenes, adding a layer of transparency and engagement to the visit. The design is minimal and inviting, with a calm neighborhood café feel that still feels like a destination for baked goods. The seating is limited, which can make it harder to settle in during peak hours, but the quick ordering flow makes it a good stop for grabbing something to go. The pastries are the main highlight, especially the croissants, which have a crisp, flaky exterior with a buttery texture throughout. We ordered a few items and found the selection thoughtful, with options like danishes, savory croissants, and seasonal creations that go beyond the usual bakery case. The croissant had a good lamination, with layers that held up without being greasy, and the seasonal fruit danish added a bright contrast to the richer pastry options. Everything feels carefully prepared, and the balance between sweet and savory options makes it easy to find something for different cravings, whether you are looking for a light morning pastry or something more substantial. The coffee pairs well with the bakery items, and the service keeps the experience moving even when it gets busy. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the overall flow of the café stays smooth, with the open kitchen adding a sense of activity that keeps the energy of the space lively without being chaotic. The coffee is well made, and the drinks are prepared with attention to temperature and texture, complementing the pastries without competing for attention. Juniper stands out as a café that puts real attention into both its pastries and atmosphere. It is the kind of place where the quality of the baked goods is the reason to visit, with a welcoming space that makes it worth coming back for another pastry. The combination of craftsmanship, a well-designed space, and a focused menu makes it a dependable stop for a thoughtful café experience, whether you are stopping in for a quick coffee and croissant or taking your time with a seasonal pastry and a latte.

They used a strawberry cream top instead of a puree, which I actually enjoyed. It added a nice creaminess to the drink, and the matcha was very smooth and strong. It worked well together. I also tried their double hojicha, and while I enjoyed how nutty and strong the hojicha was, I did find it a little bit grainy. I wish it was a little smoother like the matcha was. I usually don't drink/like coffee, but the guava cold brew sounded so interesting I couldn't resist. The fruity jasmine tea somehow paired so well with the coffee and made it a nice refreshing drink. I was also lucky enough to try the matcha crepe cake, which I believe they get from Lady M. It had really nice layers and was light, but unfortunately it was a little too sweet for me. Overall a very solid matcha/coffee option in SF. They have a beautiful interior too, perfect for catching up with friends. Servers were sweet as well!
