    Jasmine Milk Tea
    Anh T.

    I stopped by Honeybear Boba with some friends on a weekday afternoon and tried a their Jasmine Milk Tea with boba along with their Popcorn Chicken. I enjoyed the Jasmine Milk Tea, as it was fragrant with a nice floral note that came through clearly, and the boba had a good chew and was okay. My friend and I shared their popcorn chicken, which was tasty and hit the spot, but felt a bit pricey for the portion size. Good boba place but may have slightly higher prices on the food side!

    I was walking to the Dogpatch from the 22nd St Caltrain and stumbled upon Honeybear Boba! It was so cute and there was a line out the door. It was pretty busy from people walking around on the nice day and also from local businesses. You order at a kiosk. They also do a pretty good delivery business. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte and it automatically came with boba! I was glad because it was a smaller size than most boba drinks you can get in SF. The flavor was rich and sweet, and I liked the fresh strawberry. Boba had good consistency and texture. Would be back! Great location, also close to Dogpatch Games.

    Great lil spot to get a nice lil boba!

    It was small but cute! Clean friendly quick! Great music! For a quick drink spot they did well!

    Matcha Latte w/ Crema Mango Matcha

    Left: Matcha Latte w/ Crema Right: Mango Matcha (oat milk) I was not really a fan of the mango matcha. It was a little too sweet, it kind of tasted like I was drinking mango syrup, and didn't have much a milky or matcha flavoring ): However, I liked the boba texture!! It was chewy and sweet

    Hong Kong milk tea with boba

    I came in around noon on a weekday, and the place wasn't busy so I got my order really fast. They have tablets for you to self order so I went with that, and I like the efficiency. I got the Hong Kong milk tea with boba. I found that the tea flavour wasn't very strong and lacking fragrance. I usually get my drinks 75% sweet, but opted for 50% sweet because I saw some reviews saying their drinks were quite sweet. 50% ended up still being too sweet for me. The boba was average in texture and taste.

    Hong Kong Milk Tea ($1 extra for 20 oz) and Oolong Milk Tea

    My friend lives in the Mission and doesn't order Boba much, but I pressed for it and of course she had to say yes. We did a search on Google for the closest delivery and Honeybear in MB popped up. The cute dog on the cup and standard tea selections passed. Our delivery guy came quickly and handed us our drinks: Hong Kong Milk tea (25% sugar) and Oolong Black (50% sugar) we could taste the tea flavor and it's strong enough to come through. I could've probably ordered my usual zero sugar but have never tried this place so I opted for the tiniest bit of sweetness. Boba was nice and soft, but some balls were clumped together. I appreciate Honey Bear Boba. I don't frequent Boba Guys anymore since their quality has gone downhill, so this is a good alternative for delivery.

    Thai tea
    Regina K.

    Was craving a Boba and found a place on the map nearby. The space was cute, you order on the kiosk and they make it and put it in the pick up area for you. I ordered a Thai tea. The drink is all right, this specific batch you can taste. The leaves have been over steeped, so does that aftertaste of bitterness to it. But despite that we're looking at the drink is still not bad. The Boba is a medium firmness, which I know is a preference for many, personally I love a really soft Boba, but as long as it's not hard, it's still good.

    Came thru on the unda on a rainy day, shoutout to Uncle Larry! I got the mango slush with 75% sugar along with lychee boba and it was very good. The service was great, helpful team members. Love the Larry June artwork along with the rest of the decor! So glad I was able to visit/support!

    Milk tea
    Stephen A.

    Milk tea does NOT come with boba despite the image in the menu showing it. Tea is also an unpalatable lukewarm temperature if you order without ice. This is on top of the order taking 15 minutes. That said, they did see my reaction and offered to add some ice & boba after, but I think that was just the employees being nice. Don't go here but tip well if you do.

    Strawberry Oat Milk Tea with Boba
    Ny H.

    Of all the Boba places in the city, Honey Bear is my favorite hidden gem! The Strawberry Milk boba is my fave. They use fresh strawberries and not some generic syrup flavor to make it taste like strawberries. Also supporting local biz is a bonus!

    cute but meh
    Jessica C.

    Was curious to try this place while in the Dogpatch area. Ordered two drinks, a fruit tea and a milk tea, and both were a bit too sweet for our taste, even at half or light sweet, and had a slightly artificial flavor. Boba was not cooked well, and the service felt somewhat inattentive. No one greeted us when we walked in, and we had to get their attention while standing right in front of them. Based on our experience, we probably would not return, even if we were craving boba.

    Pineapple tea, 24oz
    Sydney J.

    I decided to come back while I was in Dogpatch. I noticed they have some new menu items such as rose green tea and rose green milk tea, and pineapple tea and pineapple slush, but these items are only listed next to the ordering counter and are not yet added to the main menu on the wall so you have to ask about the costs. I ordered the pineapple tea, 24oz which was $6.25 before tip, and asked for 50% ice (the lowest they allow) and 25% sweetness. The barista was friendly and made the drink within a couple minutes. There is no seating inside or outside the store currently. The drink was still sweet yet I could also taste the bitterness of the tea. I really liked the tropical fruity flavor and would recommend this if you are looking for a refreshing drink with strong fruit flavor.

    Wintermelon Green Tea
    Mike L.

    When I think of neighborhoods in SF that are home to some tasty boba shops, Dogpatch isn't really the first that comes to mind. The Richmond and Sunset are usually at the top of the list, given just the plethora of options available, but I'm starting to realize this part of the city deserves more consideration! While the number of places to choose from aren't nearly as plentiful, the ones that I've tried here (and in the immediate vicinity) have all been so good! Boba Guys over on 16th (just on the edge of Potrero Hill) is probably the best in the area, and Little Sweet is always a great go-to for me. However, having been to Honeybear Boba a few times now, it looks like I have another to add to the rotation! Compared to other boba shops, Honeybear Boba is rather unassuming. In lieu of the bright, trendy, IG-driven aesthetic others employ, the decor here is a bit simpler and more subdued. That being said, their drink menu is still rather impressive. While they don't offer any sorts of food/snacks, the drinks are interesting, ranging from classic sorts of milk teas, fruity teas, and cremas to slushes, lemon-based drinks, and a handful of house specialties. Similarly, their selection of toppings lacks more unique offerings, like agar and popping boba, but it has all of the staples along with milk substitutes in soy and oat milks. -- WINTERMELON GREEN TEA...$5.25 (16oz) My friend who suggested Honeybear Boba recommended this one to me, but I thought it was just okay. For me, the taste of the wintermelon was rather subtle, so this felt more like a dark colored green tea with a slight aftertaste to it. I can see why she likes it, but it's (literally) not my cup of tea. -- STRAWBERRY MATCHA LATTE...$5.75 (16oz) Quite simply, one of the best I've ever had. Getting this 50% sweet was perfect, as the strawberries at the bottom were a bit intense. However, after mixing it, the overall sweetness was just right and the ratio of matcha to strawberries to the milk was really well balanced. Delicious! -- UNCLE LARRY'S DREAMSICLE...$5.75 (16oz) I love orange creamsicles, so I couldn't resist trying this. Although I do wish the taste and consistency had been creamier, the sweetness level was just right at 50% and I liked the hit of orange flavor. Just make sure you shake this before your stab your straw in (incorporating the two layers is a must!). Beyond the drinks, the other thing that I really liked are the workers here. Each time I've been, they've all been super friendly and the wait for your order is never all that bad. What's more, during my most recent visit, they were giving out samples of a new flavor they are testing out - a Rose Milk Tea that was really, really good! Even though Boba Guys has typically been our default whenever we've found ourselves on this side of the city and in search of milk tea, Honeybear has undoubtedly worked its way into the mix. It certainly doesn't hurt that there's never been much of a line, but it's also nice that we've been able to stop off for a drink while walking around after eating nearby. And considering how it seems like there are more and more interesting places popping up in the Dogpatch, it's safe to say I'll be back, especially if that Rose Milk Tea makes its way onto the menu!

I don't normally drink a lot of boba, but vacations are for treating yourself, right? The crème brûlée milk tea was basically dessert in a cup. You could actually taste and chew on little bits of torched caramelized sugar throughout the drink. The boba itself was perfectly cooked, soft and chewy. And then there was pudding in there too! Every sip had me going "ooh" and "ahh" as I discovered another delicious texture. The only downside was that the drink only comes in one size, and it was a bit too much for me. I was genuinely sad that I couldn't finish it. That's one of the reasons I don't order boba very often. I can eat way more food than I can drink liquid for some reason. But I'd happily return to Urban Ritual to work my way through more of their milk tea menu the next time I'm in San Francisco.

We didn't have to wait in line to order, but all of the tables inside were packed. I was in need of something light and refreshing, so I decided to try the lychee IPA (non-alc). My drink was prepared promptly, and it immediately quenched my thirst. The lychee flavor tasted fresh, and its sweetness was tempered by the subtle hops flavor. The drink was also lightly carbonated with just the right amount of fizz. The menu wasn't as extensive as those of the larger, more established boba shops, and I wish there had been more fruit-flavored teas - especially for the summer. Nevertheless, I can't wait to try other tea varieties on my next visit.
