2026 update. Good neighborhood boba shop. They are always 1/2 full when I visit. Wait times are around 10 minutes for a smoothie drink. My usual order is a lychee slush. Today I strayed and tried their pina colada smoothie $6. The lychee slush is better. The pina colada smoothie was still good though. Good job Honey B. read more

Best Boba in the neighborhood. Their Rose Milk tea is my favorite. My daughter loves the Mango Mikk tea. Good sized portion and closest you can get to homemade Boba. Plus they constantly support my kids' local schools for fundraisers. We always have a good time at Honey B! read more

This place has really cute interior with the pink flower wall! There isn't too much seating since there were only a few tables. I came and ordered the rose milk tea with boba, 50% sugar, 80% ice. The boba was soft chewy and the rose milk tea tasted good. One thing I didn't like was that every time I sipped my drink, the plastic cup is a bit squishy and isn't very stiff. It's a cute little place and the staff were friendly. There's no kiosk, so you would have to order at the register. It took around 5 minutes for me to get my drink which was pretty fast. read more

Always one of my go-tos for boba and quick snacks! Every time I get their popcorn chicken with the intention of taking a picture, it gets devoured before I can get to it. I remember coming here when I was in high school getting egg puffs, it truly is a Richmond District staple. If you ever find yourself in the neighborhood, stop by! They have a variety of tea flavors and snack options. You can't go wrong. read more

I can hear looking for a tea drink in the neighborhood. It's in such a little goody neighborhood I know from other spots. The menu was vast and when I came was busy with after school kids getting drinks for the walk home. A big space and tables.. I think they have food too. I was just torn on what to order to drink. Mine was alright tried something totally different and fruity the results sr tea I got for a friend lived it. May be worth your while if you are in the neighborhood. The staff was patient and attentive the portion is bigger than I am used to. read more

Swung by for a quick drink and snack. I'm a big fan of sweet plum fries so I immediately knew I had to order it when I saw they had it on the menu. I was debating between the red bean milk tea and rose, but the cashier recommended red bean so I went with that. I forgot what my friend got, but he had boba in his drink, which didn't really taste like anything. My red bean milk tea also was not that good, it didn't taste like the flavor was incorporated that well. Would definitely not get again. The plum fries were pretty good! I had to ask for more plum powder though because there wasn't much originally. Overall a pretty mid spot, but will do the trick if you're in a pinch. read more

My guest, while eating lunch next door, saw some of your customers drinking your drinks and craved one herself. Quality/Quantity - Mango Green Tea with Boba - My guest wanted something fruity and chose this. She said it is just okay. But watching her NOT drink it speaks for itself. I suggested for her to get the cold grass jelly and boba, but no she did NOT listen to me. Snacks also available, mostly deep fried, see pictures. Atmosphere - Small local business. A few indoor tables with chairs. Open 7 days a week from noon until 7pm or 8pm. See picture or Yelp. Metered street parking, but if you are willing to walk, free 2 hour residential parking. No public restrooms, see picture of sign. Service - Barely okay. I felt like I interrupted her break. She was NOT willing to answer any of my questions. I asked what her best sellers were, and she pointed to the poster, see picture. I had a few more questions, but then she walked away. Once we were ready, she took our order, gave change, and walked away without saying a word. After making the drink, she put it on the counter and shouted Mango Green Tea and walked away. The whole time I was basically standing in front of her... I think she is having a bad day?!?! Price - $6, reasonably priced. Minimum tip, still more than she deserved. $10 minimum to use a credit card or a 50¢ charge. They also take Venmo. Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your success since 2013. Not sure if I will be back, unless my family or friends force me to. read more

Nice local tea spot in outer Richmond. I'm glad I can walk over to order a milk tea or other drink. Hubby likes their lemon drink and I recently ordered the hot herbal jelly with red bean and tapioca pearls. If I realized it was that big, I would have only ordered one! Recommend substituting taro for tapioca pearls. Those get hard if you don't eat right away. read more

After dinner at PPQ, I wanted something sweet so we stopped by this cute boba shop on the corner. They had a lot of options on the menu! The first thing that caught my eye was the Taiwan brown sugar iced milk drink with pudding and honey boba aka C2, so I went with it. I asked for less sweetner. It was really good and I like how refreshing the milk tasted. The boba was chewy and fresh and the pudding wasn't too sweet. Regarding customer service, the employee was very pleasant and helpful. Would come back! read more

New favorite boba spot after hiking Presidio. It is close by and it has amazing drinks! They are very affordable and the drinks are huge! You have to park on the street but we came on a Saturday around 7 and we found parking right away. It is posible that because of SIP the area it is not as busy. My husband and I got the same drink because we are big lovers of the Taiwan Brown Sugar Milk Drinks. We got the Strawberry Pudding with Honey Boba and oh my! My husband got 100% sweetness and I got 75%. I am always afraid to order 100% because I don't like overly sweet drinks but in the case go with the 100%. They add this delicious strawberry syrup that makes the drink sweet enough but not overly sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, you can add extra syrup. 100% it's perfect for my taste! Their menu is large and they have a lot of food. Next time I am in the area I will make sure you try other food/drinks!!! :) read more

Delicious and affordable boba shop in the Inner Richmond District. They are currently open during this pandemic and I'm glad they were since I wanted to get boba. I pass by all the time when I drive into the city, but have never stopped by to get a drink until yesterday. I was specifically craving a strawberry milk tea boba. They make it with powdered milk which I like since I'm sensitive to dairy. The menu has a wide selection of different tea drinks with all kinds of different toppings. There service is fast and my drink was perfect. read more

One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood! My partner and I get boba here at least twice a week, and sometimes we also get food (I get potstickers and he gets popcorn chicken). I LOVE the potstickers and he really likes the chicken, but really what we go here for is the boba. The brown sugar milk tea with boba is absolutely delicious, and we tend to call ahead (even though it only usually takes around 3-5 minutes for them to make our drinks. By the time we get there, the drinks are ready to go and we quickly check out with Apple Pay, get a friendly smile from the cashiers/chefs and a pleasant greeting and we're on our way. Staff is incredibly nice and they usually have a lot to deal with, as this is a VERY popular spot! One of the reasons I don't like to stick around and eat inside (I'm just not someone who can handle crowds, especially crowds of kids). This place is popular with kids who come in after school gets out, which there's a school just a block down the street. For that reason it can get VERY crowded and noisy inside. There's ample seating though and when it isn't super busy, it's a nice quiet spot to wait for your food or drink to be made! We'll keep coming here regularly. Love HoneyB! read more

Honey B Tea House - A21. Brown Sugar Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Our favorite boba drink and snack shop in SF! They make the best fruit flavored slushy and tea drinks with boba and/or poppings. Their fried snack/finger foods are always served fresh and hot. The space is clean, unlike the various Quicklies (similar type shops), which typically are grungy, sticky (yuck), and so-so food and drinks. We've been trying boba shops in SF for years, Honey B Tea House is the best yet. read more

The boba shops of the Richmond are like my children- I love them all equally for different reasons. Honey B is one of my regular spots. It's located on a big corner lot that gets the perfect amount of light on a sunny day. The interior is spacious and has more seating than most boba spots in the neighborhood. And of course, the most important aspect, the drinks, are always good. You can't go wrong anything on the top 10 list. Some of my favorites are the strawberry basil and the chocolate mint. I'm also a fan of the spam musubi, which makes for a nice savory snack/small meal. Another thing I like about this spot is that it's not as busy or pricey as the boba spots in the Inner Richmond. read more

Great prices and wide selection of drinks! I tried the Iced milk with strawberry, pudding, and honey boba. The drink was pretty tasty and a good sweetness level. The boba could have been sweeter but the texture was a 5/5. I would definitely recommend the ice milk drinks, and would love to come back to try the other drinks. At the price point and wide selection, this place definitely satisfied my boba cravings! read more

This boba place has been around for as long as I can remember, but I've never gotten around to trying it. I finally decided to drop by one day after work and it was disappointing. I got the imperial milk tea which was decent, but still tastes pretty watered down to me. The boba was too squishy. I also got some snacks - spam musubi & egg puffs, but they did not taste good. Spam musubi - big block of rice with a tiny slice of spam (not enough sauce & just felt like I was eating plain rice) Egg puff - mushy, not crunchy at all, no flavor?? Unless you are in the area and too lazy to go elsewhere, would not recommend coming here. read more

Their cups, or shall I say tubs are gigantic. Felt bigger than my hand and probably my head (exaggeration). I think ever since they opened, I don't recall them ever having small cups. The drinks are definitely worth your buck for how much they give you! Their mango Yakult is the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness for me, along with their soft and chewy honey boba. My dad tried their honey milk tea but said it could have used more tea flavor, just felt a little watered down for him and my moms mango slushee was too sour for her unfortunately. Food wise, they don't have much selection right now but hopefully soon they'll go back to their original menu for snacks, etc. they're mainly operating for drinks right now and some snack and food items. read more

This is a limited review as I've sample only the two items in my photos. I think it has the potential to be higher. Honey B Tea House is in the "Outer Richmond" district, west of Presidio, removing it away from the heavy competition that is in the Clement/Inner Richmond area, which gives it a bit more leeway to be different or indifferent. The style is Taiwanese, but it offers several food items that are HK and Japanese, including egg waffles (HK), curry fish balls (HK), and takoyaki (Japanese). If you don't know by now, mixing cuisines, even for simple items, rarely works out well. This means the drinks (Taiwanese) are the winners here; the food - meh. We had the wintermelon tea with grass jelly. Wintermelon tea was flavorful even if a tad sweet. The grass jelly is slurpy-ly good. That's the perfect texture. The egg waffle with red bean was 'ok'. It's more American waffle without the outside crunch that HK style has. The red bean are whole, so I give them points for not using cheap flavoring. Come here for drinks. read more

I was craving popcorn chicken and didn't know where else to go. My sister recommended honey B so honey B it was. Not my first time here so I kinda had a general idea of what I wanted to order. However when I got there I was overwhelmed with their menu. So many options. I opted for the milk tea, honey black tea with herbal jelly, and the popcorn chicken. I thought everything was just OK. The drinks lacked that professional boba tea taste. The popcorn which was just ok, nothing special. The taste was there however the chicken itself was not crispy or crunch but instead on the soggy side. read more

In the US, Honey B Tea House is hot. I've never been to Taiwan, but I think this would be an average boba joint. That said, I still think this place deserves 4 stars just for being more than basic and, more importantly, serving up some good drinks which includes cremas! They have a huge menu and the employees were quick to take my order and make it. Definitely not a bad choice to satisfy a tapioca drink craving! read more

After grabbing food in the area we were craving something sweet to wash it all down with so luckily Honey B was in walking distance so we didn't need to give up our parking. I didn't really have Honey B bookmarked before coming here but I'm glad I got to try another boba spot in the city. When you think of the boba sizes here think more like half/half, purple kow with the chubby cups. They do have regular cups for their specialized drinks like their roasted oolong winter melon, etc. I ended up getting the peach black tea at 50% sugar. At 50% sugar it was still on the sweeter side of things without boba, but it was nice and refreshing. The tea was OK but there was a bit of an aftertaste that I couldn't pinpoint. | PROS | + Can pick your sugar level (must tell them before hand) + Nice options for fresh fruit teas, fruit mixes, slushies, milk tea, etc. + Have a top 10 board of drink people get if you're having a tough time deciding + Egg puffs and other snacks to order with your boba + Shorter order times than other boba spots in the area but can get longer during rush times | CONS | + There was 1 person working so the wait time after ordering was a bit longer + No parking lot/parking in the area is tough read more

I stopped by this place wanting a quick boba fix. There are no public bathrooms. I ordered the honey milk tea and garlic fries. The honey milk tea- standard milk tea. I wish they gave you the option to adjust the sweetness, mine was too sweet. Garlic fries- they don't use real garlic. It's just a garlic seasoning. If you want your salt intake for the week, order these. These fries were overly done and way too salty. Portion sizes were kind of small also. Not sure how I feel, maybe it was just a bad day, but I don't think I would try the garlic fries next time. I have a headache from the fries. read more

This is one of the few places in the area open late. From milk teas, slushees and snacks, I feel like this is a a good stop when you want junk food or a refreshing drink. They have an expansive menu, but I really appreciate how fast and accommodating they are. I don't like my milk tea super sweet, so I ask for a lower sweetness, and unlike Quickly, they don't take that to mean no sweetness. read more

Yet another new boba joint?! I swear, my list of boba/drink places to try is about as long as my "been there, now it's time to review them" list. And believe me, that is a LOOOOOOOOOONG, long list. Although TPumps has tickled my interest more so than Honey B, my friend and I ended up come here instead since A) we were already in the area, and B) the line was short. Considering how bad the wait can be at places like TPumps and Purple Kow, I cannot stress how important B) is these days. Since it was my first time here, I kept it simple with one of my usual orders - Milk Tea with Boba and Lychee Jelly. While it was a good sized drink for the money (comes in chubby cups), I didn't think it was that impressive. The tea flavor was okay, but, like the consistency, it felt really thin and light...and not in a good way. Sadly, the tapioca balls weren't much better either - just way too mushy and soft for my liking. But hey...at least the lychee jelly was good? While they've managed to squeeze in a handful of tables and chairs, the "sitting area" actually isn't all that large. Unless you happen to luck into some seats, it's really more of a grab-and-go kind of spot (like most boba places...). However, considering how hard parking around here can be at times, you're probably best off just dropping someone off and getting the drinks than circling around endlessly. In any case, Honey B is really more of a TWO AND A HALF stars type of place for me, but rounding it down for now since it really didn't leave much of an impression. I'll be back at some point to see how they do with a couple of my other favorites though, so this could very well change soon enough. Still better than Tea Way for me, but I'd rather go to Purple Kow or Wonderful Foods (my favorite!). read more

What an unattractive honeybee! From the name, my thought that came to mind would be a bright yellow restaurant banner and yellow themed inside! It ended up being a dirty, blackened banner and it looked like they are still trying to get the hang of starting up this place! The layout was horrible! They had very limited seating to enjoy the boba and the kitchen is too big! They were not utilizing the whole infrastructure - please consider remodeling! The servers were not buzzing like bees! It took awhile for the drinks to come out and the ambiance was the opposite of bright, happy yellow! Their boba didn't have the chewiness texture that most boba places do. Their boba has probably been sitting idly for awhile due to the fact that there were not enough customers ordering up their boba! This Tea House definitely lacks energy, decor, depth and quality inside, outside and with their boba! I left as an unhappy bumblebee. read more

TPumps, I have cheated on you again. I am sorry. However, it was a fun experience! If NorCal's Purple Kow and SoCal's Half and Half were to have a baby, it would be Honey B. Whatsup @ Honey B: -WHAT? SAY IT LOUDER! I CANT HEAR YOU!!! It takes only 10 minutes and NOT 45 minutes for my drink? WHAO.... -wide variety of drinks: milk tea, slushes, egg puffs, coffee, fruit teas, tea, yogurt drinks, Taiwanese Styled milk teas, etc. -Accepts credit cards, however, MINIMUM $10 -No stamp cards yet.... -2 round tables and chairs against the windows, so a pretty small place -quiet and good for studying, for now, before people start crowding this place once they find out about it -cups are fat like Purple Kow and Half and Half, but a bit smaller. -their drinks are not sugar loaded like Purple Kow and Half and Half! Jasmine Matcha Green Milk Tea (3 stars): With added Honey Boba, $3.78. Like I mentioned, the baby of Purple Kow and Half and Half would be Honey B. Similar tub size, but much cheaper and takes less time to receive it. It had strong tea tastes. I can see how some people would not like this because they're so used to powdered drinks like teaway. But its actually refreshing and had jasmine flavor and not just loads of sugar. Next time, I would ask for light ice because they put a little too much ice for me. The honey boba was sweet and soft to balance with the strong tea flavor! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/honey-b-tea-house-san-francisco?select=aYMNL84BxfkuEScnHh8xrQ#TvFwGtPumWqTcOoyUI3EGA Honey Boba, Pudding Taiwanese Style Milk Tea (3.5 stars): My friend ordered this and I had a sip.
