5 stars for Boba/Milk Tea! We came here last month after a long time visiting and was reminded why…read morewe liked it so much. The Milk tea has a very good balance of flavor, but the boba steals the show! We ordered a Milk tea again but with extra boba this time. We were so glad we didn't skimp on that this time. The store front itself is very clean and unassuming from the street. Inside it feels very clean and had plants of space to stand around to wait. Theres a long bench and some smaller seating near the windows, but in general, no one is sitting inside to eat or drink. If they added a few table amd chairs there would still be plenty of space. Order on the kiosk and wait for your order. Order comes out pretty quick amd staff are always easy going. We definitely will be back.

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.

Cute place. Can order from kiosk or call over an employee. We got a basic milk tea with boba, 75%…read moresugar and wanpee fruit tea, 0 sugar. The milk tea was good, not too much creamer and all around classic taste including the tea. Boba texture was perfect and didn't stick together. Wanpee fruit tea was perfect sweetness without any added sugar. Very refreshing. It took a while to get our drinks even though it didn't seem busy, but at least when our drinks were ready, the employee served them graciously.

The clerk who was an older woman was not that receptive. She looked annoyed when I came in to order lol The price of a Thai tea is $4.80. wow what a bargain right? Nope somehow work the addition of .50 topping and no ice the final price was $6.52. I asked her about the menu price. She just simply answered " oh that's before tax". Doing quick calculation with SF tax that does not equal $6.52. I don't like the lack of transparency and predatory marketing. Will not come back here for the foreseeable future. The prices on the menu are before tax.

You can tell they use good ingredients, and the texture was super smooth--perfect for a warm day. Service was friendly and pretty efficient, even though it looked a bit busy. The overall vibe feels casual and comfortable, a nice place to just grab something and go or chill for a bit. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I wish the flavor had a little more depth or customization options, but overall still a solid choice. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.

This location of Purple Kow is located in the Outer Richmond area. Parking is street parking here,…read morewhich may be hit or miss, as they are located on a main street. There is some seating inside to hang out with friends while enjoying boba, but it is a bit cramp inside. Not much service - the employees do not really pay attention to you, so you may be waiting a good 10 minutes before they take your order, so I recommend ordering online. I ordered a Purple Kow Milk Tea with boba and grass jelly. The milk tea tasted a bit sour like an aftertaste, so that was a bummer. For about $9 for that size, it would had definitely been worth it, if the drink was good or even decent. Also, I ordered online and it still took almost half an hour to get just 1 drink.

There's a tablet off to the side that you can use to order your drinks. If the line gets too long, a cashier tends to jump in to help with orders. I do appreciate the screen in the corner that shows your order number so you're able to track it. I usually opt for their Coconut Mango Boom and it's never too sweet. Overall, I think the experience is decent if you order ahead. It seems less worth it when there's a long wait. There's also not a lot of seats inside so it feels more of a order and go kind of place.

There is honestly nothing I would change about them. My go-to drink has been the 3G Milk Tea. When you order this drink as a regular size, it comes in the large cup because of how much toppings are included, which I love. My friends and I initially started coming here often because of the rewards system, but we continue to come back because of the quality. They also offer a wide variety of drinks. Another drink I would recommend is the Honey Brown Rice Milk Tea and the White Peach Oolong Tea which are both brewed to order. The inside is very small, basically only enough room to order and then wait outside for your drink to be called. Overall, this is a solid spot for boba, and the quality keeps me coming back.

We ordered two No. 4 "Summer Delight" drinks, which come with mung bean, red tapioca, pandan jelly, grass jelly, agar-agar, and coconut milk, a really fun mix of textures. Overall, the drinks were pretty tasty and satisfying. Service was a bit slow since it seemed like only one person was handling both the front and back, but it was understandable. The only downside was the pandan jelly, it clumped together and kept getting stuck in the straw and at the bottom, which made it a little hard to drink. :)

When I arrived, there was a short line but it was clear they were being swamped with phone orders and in person orders. (It was a very hot day.) I stood by the cashier a good 5 minutes before I was told to order at the kiosk by the 1 staff that took the previous customer's order at the cashier who then went off attending the waffle maker and other orders. There was no one stationed at the cashier and more customers came in and I had to tell them to use the kiosk otherwise who knows how long they would be waiting. Bambu is the only shop in SF that offers a variety of Che combos. It's perfect on a hot day. Prices are fair. A scoop of ice cream is only $1 to add in. My go to drinks is the Summer Delight, Fruit Addict and Avocado Smash.
