I find their flavor to be richer and less "watered down" than other boba shops. Service is always quick here :) [this review was made in connection with a Toast promotion]

Service was fine, there was only two people working at the time and they were doing their best. Our stomach unfortunately started hurting afterwards and not sure if it was from the milk. Dont be discouraged reading this review, maybe just get something different. There's only a few tables inside if you wanted to sit and chill there. There's a large free parking lot too.

You have an option to essentially create your own drink - choose your flavors, choose tea, sweetness level, and topping! Line goes by super quick and there isn't much space to wait inside. Sometimes the drinks are hit or miss because we've been trying out new flavors every week. However, you can always ask the staff to make any adjustments if you're unsatisfied. Our favs are: Mango, raspberry, pineapple green milk tea Rose, peach, strawberry green milk tea

I had a very nice first time experience at Sidewalk Juice in San Mateo…read more I was in the area on a warm day, and I was looking for a cold refreshing snack. I was thinking about acai bowls, and the Yelp search engine pointed me to Sidewalk Juice. It's a clean, modern place, located near South Delaware St & Franklin Parkway. They offer fresh juices, smoothies, acai bowls, and toast. I ordered the Tropic Bowl, and added granola and peanut butter. Staff was really nice, and they got the orders out quickly. The place is really clean. There's a bar-like counter along the window with stools. Also lots of tables outside, as well as benches with shade. It's a nice spot to take a break. My Tropic Bowl was very good! They served it in a square plastic dish-like bowl. Much different than the typical bowls other places use. I like the presentation of the acai bowl. The fruit is neatly laid out, along with the crunchy granola. The creamy peanut butter was there, but the pineapple overpowered it's flavor. The acai base was cold, but not icy. I like their acai bowl, I'm bookmarking this place! I found free 2-hour parking along the curb 1/2 block away.

Nobody does better avocado toasts than sidewalk juice, hands down! Always so beautiful…read more I love all their juices too. Sweet greens is my go to. The Millbrae location has amazing sandwiches, it'll be awesome to see San Mateo hopefully one day offer even more good stuff and expand menu!

One of my dad's favorite places too, so it's become a bit of a tradition for us. I usually swap the açaí base for vanilla, which I love. The women working the morning shift are always so friendly and welcoming. It's a great start to the day every time.

AMBIANCE: Very small location with limited seating (3 seats). More of a grab and go type of place…read more Wanted to try samples of the juice, but the sample cups outside looked dirty/used? FOOD: Definitely more of an expensive place for acai bowls. My friend got their smaller soft-serve style version ($8) and the inside was unfortunately hallow. I got their original acai bowl ($14). The acai base was very flavorful and tasty, with a good texture. The toppings were good as well (loved the granola). However, is this place worth the price? Honestly no; you can get similar tasting acai bowls elsewhere for closer to $10. SERVICE: It seems like they only have 1-2 people working, however, there wasn't a long wait. The staff seemed neutral (not rude, but not super friendly) and the place was clean.

My kids especially love their freshly made waffle with ice cream--warm, fresh waffle paired with delicious ice cream is such a great combination!

Definitely recommend!

First time at Pink Pink and it was a pretty terrible experience. While ordering we were basically…read moretold they had nothing in stock. No cones, no Oreo for a drink. My daughter ordered a cotton candy soft serve and then was handed a plain vanilla and told cotton candy was out. The male that was taking our order kept asking the girl who was sitting on the counter on her phone and she just kept saying they were out. It honestly felt like they just didn't want to make the drinks. Oh well I guess being in the mall you don't have to really worry about revenue or customer service. Having a girl sitting in a counter on her phone isn't the best look either but again not really my problem. What is my problem is paying $7 for an ice cream that we didn't even ask for. That's wild. Smdh.

I've driven by this place a hundred times and there's almost always a line of 20-30 people outside…read more This morning I decided to wait in that line. Super funny that the couple behind me commented that they go here all the time and there's never a line. After about a 40 minute wait, I got to the cashier at around 10:20am. Half the pastries like the ube brioche were already out so I opted for just the lattes. I played it safe and got the Tahitian vanilla latte. I will say that it's good quality coffee. Didn't need to add sugar. It didn't come super hot though so as I took it away, I downed it pretty fast! I got my mom and aunt the ice latte version of the black sesame and the brown sugar. Sounds like both were good as well. The black sesame wasn't sweet, which was to my aunt's liking. Inside, it's very clean and not crowded. What helped is that there is a sign that tells the people in line that only 6 people at a time should line up inside. If I have the time, I'd line back up. 4.5/5 stars, but I'll round up.

Came here at 830am ish on a Friday…read more Not sure what all the hype is for this place, so had to check it out for myself! Since it was so early, street parking was pretty easy on el camino. There was a sign that said only 6 ppl could wait inside to order, but I already counted 8 so figured they weren't enforcing it yet. Unfortunately, right when it was my turn to order, they ran out of beans and had to dial in a new batch. That alone added at least 30-40 minutes between waiting to order, and waiting for the coffee to come out. We got the caramel miso latte and the black sesame latte with an ube brioche. Can't say I loved either latte, nor the brioche. Everything was just decent. I was more impressed with how many ppl came here! I did enjoy seeing the baristas at work though. I'd say if you got here at even 850am, be prepared for a long wait. Can be even longer depending on whether they need to dial in new beans. Definitely not a good place to get a quick coffee before work.
