    Raw shrimp
    Norman L.

    I ordered the chicken nibblers and shrimp from here and when it was delivered, I saw a raw shrimp in my order! Disgusting, what the hell? Don't recommend ordering or coming to this place. Update: I woke up this morning with a very sensitive stomach. I ate some chicken nibblers and drank the Oreo boba tea I ordered along with them and have been making frequent trips to the restroom. I really shouldn't have because everything must have been cross contaminated. With the way the shrimp was delivered, I have reason to believe this was an intentional decision made by one of the employees. The food was delivered as pictured which means that somebody saw the undercooked shrimp, put it in the container, shrugged, and sent it out for delivery. This place has people working that don't care about anyones well being. Never order from this place. I never will again.

    Medium sized boba drink
    B M.

    - Only tried one of the drinks, but FrosTea has other dessert items available. - Drink came out quick. Ordered a medium and surprised to see it's a wide bowl size. Flavor was okay, but some of the boba tasted old/hard. - There are no seating areas at the moment.

    chicken nibblers (medium)
    Amy Y.

    I ordered delivery from here with low expectations, and I have to say... FrosTea isn't that bad. It's old school boba, and akin to Quickly's - similar base menu items, artificial flavors, questionable ingredients... I feel bad giving a low rating, because technically they're sort of okay for what they are, but a ton of other places have better versions of what they offer. I liked the chicken nibblers, which tasted like cut up pieces of chicken tenders. What made it extra good was their house sauce, which is pretty much a sriracha aioli. I really liked the heat it brought - just enough to get a good kick in the flavor without being overwhelming. I had the medium box all to myself as a meal (yes very healthy), and it was enough to make me full. My black milk tea had enough honey boba to fill three separate drinks. I didn't take a great angle shot of it, but that thing is super wide even in medium size. The boba was not bad, though hardened within an hour. The slightly sweet option (between zero and half sweet) was definitely sweet enough, couldn't imagine having more. I liked adding the rose flavor because it's a pretty good hint of rose without tasting like potpourri. I liked the extra petal bits, too! The shaved snow was icy and sweet, and my fresh milk flavor tasted like icy condensed milk. I was hoping it wouldn't be too sweet, thinking that the milk flavor would be the most neutral out of their flavor selections, but they even drizzled a light sweet syrup over everything. The mochi tasted a little hardened as if it was previously frozen, and the fresh fruit of the day was banana with some brown spots. I do wish the best for this place, but I hope they realize that they need to modernize to stay in business now. Even Quickly's wised up and started changing their menu and adding more fresh ingredients. FrosTea should get rid of artificial sweeteners and flavors to instead make fresh homemade purees - people will then taste the difference. By offering so many different flavors, they're only really catering to little children with undeveloped taste - which, I guess if that's their only clientele, then I understand why they wouldn't change. Almost every boba shop now offers fresh taro and fresh avocado with their respective flavored drinks, so that's what people expect now. At the very least, they should have a couple homemade drinks that they can prepare, but as it stands, it looks like everything uses an artificial flavoring which doesn't taste good.

    Haven't been here for over 5 years. This place brings nothing but good memories. Today was just not the case. They have a sign on the left side of the counter stating that if a customer gives them a review they'll give them a free large drink. I over heard the person in front of me take advantage of the offer and I tried to do so as well. After helping the customer in front of me clerk left for about 5 minutes without acknowledging me. She comes by and just says "go" expecting me to state my order. I tell her about the offer I want to take advantage of and she says that the offer is only valid hours after it has been done. I bring it to her attention that the customer in front of me has no issue with the offer being offered at the moment and she replies with "yes he will do it now" ... which begs to differ... why is it that I can't but he can? HOWEVER!! If you want a free large drink give them a review and show up next day or within a few hours!

    Mango Green Tea & Rose Black Tea with boba

    Going to miss this place. Been going here for 7 years since they opened... my friends used to work here. Moved down to SoCal for school and came back for break to find that they had closed down :( though the sign is gone, my memories won't be forgotten. Used to study here after school waiting for the bus or to get picked up, walked here during COVID after playing basketball. Always fast, consistent... End of an era.

    Chicken nibblers. The saddest bunch I have ever seen! Looks nothing like the other photos.
    Jen H.

    Ordered last night thru grubhub for pick up. Honey green tea w/ lychee jelly was good. But the chicken nibblers.... What. The. Hell?? I feel played. Also, if you're gonna put my drink and food in a bag and tie it up, please put a straw in there!! I had no straw for my drink.

    Avocado Smoothie
    Khamfong N.

    I got an Avocado smoothie with boba. It was super sweet like it was just syrup drink and powdery somehow. I'm sorry but this is the worst drink I've ever had. Avocado smoothie should make with the real avocado!! +boba was a little hard

    Ordered the new chicken nibblers to try it out but was completely disappointed. First look it seems as if it was fried a long time ago and reheated to be served. First bite it was crispy but lacked any flavor and was a drier than other places' popcorn chicken. Not good but at least it was edible. Wouldn't return for the nibblers

    Large strawberry lemon slushie with strawberry popping boba ($4.50 + $0.70 fancy topping)
    Kaitlyn C.

    I love how this boba place has popping boba! It was a warm day when I first tried this place and it was so nice to have a slushie drink with some boba. I really enjoyed my drink as it was sweet but not crazy sweet. The strawberry lemon is a good combo and the popping boba was perfect to smooth the deal. For $4.50 for a large drink is a pretty good price and the drinks are huge. You can also select the sweetness and toppings that you want to add. I highly recommend coming here and the lines aren't long either!

    Green milk tea boba
    Tiffany D.

    Their medium sized boba tea is huge! It's more than a regular sized boba cup and doesn't fit the car cup holder. Luckily, I wasn't on the drive while sipping on it, but enjoying it a patio home. It was great lounging and snacking on their chicken nibblers with gyozas! Their hot items are lacking flavor. I like how you can add flavor to the tea. I ordered up lavender as the addition to calm my nerves. I ordered through DoorDash. Lovely.

    They do not honor this reward for checking in
    Goku U.

    Accidentally decided to come here for boba and was quickly disappointed. They do not offer the yelp check-in and only offer 5 star rewards program. Ordered two drinks and a shaved snow. Fresh fruit was unavailable for the shaved snow so we were again disappointed. The drinks are powder based so just ok and make sure to alter sugar level otherwise drinks are overly too sweet. Probably will never come back here.

    Proof that my drink came out before my girlfriend finished ordering.
    Joseph G.

    This area of San Francisco/Daly City is honestly a bit deprived of milktea, and having this as an option is really sweet. I am personally a big fan of taro drinks and thai drinks, so when I can, I like to mix the two together. My cousin enlightened me about this mix, calling it of course "Thairo". I of course ordered it at FrosTea and really liked it. For the size I got, it was also a wonderful value, something I wouldn't expect this far up the peninsula and appreciate very much. The employees were super nice while we ordered, were playing some good music(Shout out Zico - Any Song), and were super fast with the drink. No time was wasted, I think upon me ordering, the girl behind the girl taking my order got started, and had it out before my girlfriend could finish her transaction. I have no complaints, only compliments. Looking forward to ordering the same drink again :-)

    Friend asked to try this place out so I did! I don't really like driving to tgis part of town though and parking is a pain. Having to walk three blocks on Mission St also wasn't my favorite. The shop itself was cute. Very clean, fresh, and tasteful. Staff waa friendly, too. Got myself a regular milk tea. It was okay... good. The tea flavor wasn't my favorite but it was decent. The chubby cup was very cute though and made it stand out from other placea. It was a little bit for my hands so I kinda had to hold it with two hands :)

    I cannot believe how long it has taken me to write a review for this place, because I wanted to do…read moreit justice and have photos. I have frequented Sweet Cupz for a year now. When I was healthier, I would stop by 2 to 3 times a week on my way back from the pool I do physical therapy at for a smoothie or a vegan oat milk tea, and occasional less healthy delicious treat on my splurge day! Everything my husband and I have had there is delicious, I have tried so many things. Their eggettes are the best in the neighborhood, the matcha is my favorite. Their seasonal food and drinks are always awesome and so tasty. The soft serve is dangerously delicious with the best flavors and seasonal sundaes. The staff is great - kind, friendly, helpful, etc. etc etc. As is the ambiance, the great music, and fun claw machines, merchandise, etc. What a wonderful gem in our neighborhood. I forgot to add the reason I like it so much is because you can adjust the sweetness level, they have more than one alternative vegan milk, and lots of ways to customize your order. Most smoothies and milk teas are way too sweet for me. I do 25% and it is perfect! You can also customize your toppings, which type of boba or other extras you want as well!

Many times I would do the same with other egg tarts from other bakeries and the next day, you would see a crack in the middle, wrinkly custard, or the custard would peel away from the crust. But no problem with these! They store well and taste heavenly! Oh, and they were $2 each. 5 stars!!!

Given that, it doesn't escape me that it took just a matter of months for my next visit to happen again. No real rhyme or reason as to why it didn't take nearly as long this time, but I'd be lying if I said that the Ube Halo Halo we tried didn't have something to do with it. While it ultimately wasn't what we ordered, the memory of what we had definitely got us excited to try more when my friends suggested coming here! Compared to the location over on Geary (and the one in Westminster, for what it's worth), this Bambu is better in just about every way. Sure, it helps that it's still relatively new (they opened about eight months ago?), but it's undoubtedly cleaner, feels a whole lot brighter, is a bit more conveniently located, and, most significantly, has way more parking available nearby. As for the menu, it had pretty much all of the usual offerings that you'd expect to find at any of their locations - che desserts, milk tea, fruit teas, waffles, macarons, and Vietnamese coffee. -- MANGO HALO HALO - Green Jello Base with Coconut Meat, Coconut Milk, Red Tapioca, Jackfruit, Egg Pudding, Crystal Boba, Mango Jelly, Pandan Jelly, Nata de Coco, and Topped with Mango Ice Cream While it didn't impress quite like the Ube Halo Halo did, this was still really good. Between all of the mangos (vs ube) and jellies, this felt a lot fruitier and lighter. However, it also didn't feel quite as creamy as the Ube one did, which I kind of missed. -- VIETNAMESE EGG COFFEE Sadly, the coffee is a pre-made mix, so they weren't able to modify the sweetness, but I appreciate that they added plain coffee to help dilute it. Even then, though, this ended up being really sweet. Loved how creamy the egg foam made this, though. Despite how I genuinely like this particular Bambu, I don't know how often I would come back since I don't typically crave che desserts and other places usually come to mind first when I think of where to get milk tea. However, should the urge or occasion arise to go to a Bambu again, I wouldn't hesitate to come back to this one, especially so that I can give their Yoonami Drinks, Smoothies, and Ube Mochi Waffle a try!
