Cute hole in the wall place, coming from socal, we do not have walk up locations like this! Honestly a nice change of pace - walking around the city the whole day and being able to just order a drink without having to go in the store, love that! I got a hojicha latte drink - it kept me up at night 10/10, the earthy flavor associated with hojicha was strongly there, and the strawberry puree is actually strawberry. I heard they were closing doors for a few days (or weeks?) because the city is fixing the pipes, or whatever, but looking forward to visiting again the next time I'm in town! read more

Was craving boba so I stopped at this place for a quick drink. What I was amazed by was the prices. A drink was around $5, which is a huge score in this economy. The drink tasted pretty good, but the bobas were really small, almost like sago. I guess it's preference based, but I like the bigger, cheaper boba. read more

My friend and I were in the area when we came across this boba shop and decided to give it a try. It's a grab-and-go spot, so keep that in mind. Ordering is done through a screen, and besides boba, they also offer coffee from Sightglass Coffee. The service was slow (they only had one employee doing all the drinks), with about six people waiting for their drinks, but it was worth the wait. I ordered the fresh fruit tea with boba, 50% sweetened. It was very refreshing! It was still a bit too sweet for me, but I appreciate that I can adjust the sweetness. Overall, I'd revisit if in the area! read more

White gourd tea is a nice caffiene free option. It's got a nice smoky taste, but even the 50% is a little too sweet for me. Would do 25% next time if that's an option. Boba was a little on the soft side, but service is quick and the drink is still refreshing. read more

Little Sweet - White gourd tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

You order on a kiosk that's accessible from the sidewalk since there's no interior for you to enter. The drink came out pretty quick, but it wasn't sealed properly and I only found out it was leaking an hour later. I got a tieguanyin milk tea with boba and it was just okay. Not bad, but not as good as other places. I'd rather go to a different boba place nearby. read more

It's a very convenient place to get boba if you're in the Union Square area, and similar to other boba shops, you can order through a kiosk and pay with phone wallets. I would say that it is more of a grab and go location, but they do offer full desserts along with milk tea! I got the Assam black milk tea with boba, and it tastes like a standard milk tea. Nothing to write home about, but exactly what you would expect! read more

Forget what the name of this drink is, but it was a signature drink under the "New Drink" section! Perhaps it was called Summer Refresher? It's a fruit tea with passion fruit & yakult. It comes with agar boba & there are no sugar adjustments. I was worried it was going to be too sweet, but it actually tasted perfect! This drink is the definition of summer - refreshing, tangy & fruity. I hope Little Sweet keeps this drink on the menu! This is a small location, and is a literal hole in the wall. You self-order from the kiosk, and pick up your drink from the window. read more

Overrated. The white gourd tea is very nice, but every other drink here is so bad. I've always cups full of leaf dregs that made the rest of the drink taste bitter/burnt. Tapioca itself is alright but not the best. read more

Small spot and they have a good menu on display. It's done by ordering on a device displayed outside. We got here in the later afternoon around 330 and we were the only ones in line. A crowd started to form a bit and we ended up having to wait about 15 minutes for our order. While we did order the gyoza we were just surprised it took a while to get the two drinks with it all done and ready. We assume they must've waited until the gyoza was done to start the drinks, but still a bit surprised by the wait. Gyoza was good and sauce was yummy but wish they gave us utensils or even just picks instead of having to use our fingers. Slushie was very delicious and I couldn't even finish it all. Milk tea was nice and glad it was dairy free! read more

We ordered an array of drinks to try for delivery through uber eats. our drinks arrived fairly quickly and the order was correct. i had the two milk teas with boba and my mom had the other fruit teas. she absolutely loved the honey lemon with aloe. since she doesn't like tapioca, she appreciated that the aloe wasn't too sweet. she liked the passionfruit green tea as well but the other one was her favorite. i forgot to take a picture of the black sugar fresh milk tea with mini boba that i also ordered but it's my absolute favorite. i didn't like the brown sugar milk tea. on the website it's stated that the drink has a deep toffee-caramel like flavor due to the added molasses, but to me it tasted almost bitter like coffee, and i hate the taste of coffee. On the other hand, the black sugar fresh milk tea with mini boba was absolutely delectable. So simple yet delightful, it's a decadent and rich black sugar syrup that lines your cup and pairs with your milk of choice (I chose who milk) and that pairs well with the sweet and chewy tapioca pearls, and i love that they're mini--you almost don't even notice them. That drink is a 10/10! read more

This summer I fell in love with the Watermelon Slushy - it's a super refreshing, naturally sweet drink. But I also prefer the taste of piña colada, which means sometimes pineapple is needed! So yeah, I was excited to find a drink that had both. Surprisingly, not only did I like my choice, but my husband liked it too (which doesn't always happen, believe me). I recommend getting a fruity drink from this place because they use real ..... fruit! The only thing that detracts from my rating is the slightly odd location and the fact that they don't have option "dine in". read more

Came here during a Saturday afternoon and there was practically no line. The place is located in Union Square and the inside is closed off so it can be a little hectic and loud since you have to wait on the sidewalks. I got the Mango Sago and even with the default adjustments, it was very bland. There wasn't that much pomelo either. I just felt there was something missing from the drink. I will say the mango bits were fresh however. read more

Little Sweet is easily my favorite boba spot in the city and this location is the most convenient. My favorite drinks are the Mango Strawberry Sago and their newer drink (seasonal?) the Strawberry Hojicha Latte. They're generous with the fruit purées and their tea flavors are strong but never grainy or bitter. Definitely add small (mini sized!) boba! read more

Maybe this is good and maybe this is bad - cannot tell you as we placed an order 25 minutes ago and are standing here with no drinks and people ahead of us!! There is no store to speak of - just an open door blocked by a counter with apparently one person working! If you don't have enough staff to work - let people know what your wait time is so we don't get stuck waiting for an order that never comes ! Tried to walk away but after 25 mins one drink was ready and she refused to cancel !! Absolutely ridiculous - line was full of frustrated customers! Won't return and cannot in any way recommend!! As an update : the second drink which was not boba was clearly rushed and full of fruit seeds to largely undrinkable! Terrible experience! read more

Great spot to grab boba if you're in Union Square. You can order at a kiosk and use Apple Pay. Ordered the hojicha and strawberry drink. I appreciate that they offer dairy-free options like oatmilk without affecting the flavor of the drink. Loved how sweet the strawberries were and the hojicha flavor was strong. Only one worker there on a Sunday afternoon and they were super nice. Seems to be busy with to-go orders. A little hard to find because there's construction scaffolding on top of the sign and surrounding the entrance. It's diagonally-ish across the street from the Lego Museum. There's trashcans on the corner if you need to throw away stuff, otherwise you have to ask the workers to throw something away for you. I wish there was seating, but makes sense for the area. You just hangout on the sidewalk as you wait for your order, not really an indoor spot. Definitely a grab-and-go boba shop, but flavors are great! Plus you can sit down in Union Square which is just a few minutes away and people-watch :) read more

Little Sweet - Hojicha and Strawberry Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great boba option if you are in Union Square area! I ordered the Jasmine gmt w/boba, half sugar. I tried their Roasted Oolong a different time but didn't like it as much as the Jasmine green milk tea. Their milk teas are extra creamy & fragrant. You can tell it's high quality tea. I came on a friday evening after work. The boba topping was super warm and fresh. One con would be that they changed their cups & lids. The straw hole on the new lid doesn't fit the larger straw for toppings so it was odd to drink it while walking around. I had to be cautious to not spill the tea. read more

I ordered ahead of time online and the drinks were ready within 15 min. The 50% sweetness level is perfect for both drinks. Strawberry Matcha Latte with agar boba - 5/5 This is comparable to the other boba shops in the area and it's less of a wait time so definitely recommend. Rose High Mountain Milk with boba - 2.5/5 Tasted water down and not enough tea flavor, more of an artificial rose flavor. The boba was perfect though. The street was a bit dirty and the boba stand outside has tea stains all over. read more

Came here to try their Iron Buddha Milk Tea! I got it with the standard non dairy creamer, no sugar and no ice, with pudding for the topping. I think it's silly when places like this charge extra for no ice... but anyway. The milk tea was good! Creamy and tea-y. The pudding wasn't bad but I've had better at many other places. My friends got the honey green milk tea and high mountain milk tea (both hot, with boba) and said they were really good too! read more

Hey, I'm 100% sweet most of time time but if ya cross me, I'll only be 25% sweet and 100% ice cold to ya. ;p YA ONE OF THOSE BITTER BISHES. (i've always questioned my friendship with friends who order 25% sweet HAHAH) Came for a Yelp Elite Event. .::Sweets::. Assam Black Milk Tea: for sure stronger in tea flavor, chewy boba. I would ask for it to be a little sweeter for my own taste. We were given a cute boba holder. Egg Puff Waffle w/ Ice cream and Boba: the egg puffs was good, paired with vanilla ice cream and freshly made boba towering the dessert. **WARNING: QUITE MESSY, the boba can get everywhere** .:: Staff/ Ambiance/ Parking ::. The cashier was not super nice, pretty much didnt greet me or acknowledge even though she looked up at me but the other staff member who came from the back was MUCH nicer she greets me and asked me what I would like. Took about 10-12 min for both the waffles and drink. The place is quite small no seating area. The place is smack dab in downtown SF. Parking was near impossible but we pulled up at a non-spot right outside little sweet and monitored our car while waiting .:: COVID Protocols ::. -staff wore masks -take out only -seems like there is a QR menu read more

After being sorely disappointed with another boba place last night *cough cough Subpar Boba* I needed this. This place is vegan friendly with dairy-free milk alternatives. I got the classic brown sugar milk tea with oat milk and boba. It was fresh, creamy, sweet, and the boba was cooked well. Exactly the perfect boba, not much else to say. Would've loved to try the matcha strawberry drink too if I was staying in San Francisco longer. The only comment I must make is that this shop provides paper straws. That didn't bother me much except it wasn't poking through the lid, but if you hate paper straws bring your metal one. This location has no indoor seating, the front of the store is blocked off. It's card only as far as I could tell. read more

Little Sweet - Brown Sugar Milk Tea boba with oatmilk (vegan) - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

The boba itself here is good! I've been here several times and have gotten their Mango Matcha, Strawberry Matcha, and Rose High Mountain Milk Tea. All had great flavors and the boba was perfectly made. Wouldn't say it's anything incredible, but it satisfies my craving. The downside that drives me absolutely bonkers is the material the straws and lid are made from. I know that sustainability is important, but every time I get a drink from here it takes me more than several minutes to figure out how to get my straw through because stabbing the lid doesn't do the trick. When I'm not home it's even more frustrating because I don't have a clean sharp tool to make a hole in the lid. read more

Little Sweet is def top tier milk tea in SF. They have many locations! This newer location of theirs is perfect for tourists walking around the downtown/SoMa area and would be great for us locals once the offices open back up. They have an order queue outside and a park let. Can't go wrong with any of their fresh fruit teas, the Assam black tea, and my favorite: white gourd. read more

I've been coming to Little Sweet when I want something fresh. I think their fresh fruit series gives them a bit of an edge from the other boba places in Union Square/TL. My favorite is their watermelon boba. It's blended fresh watermelon, and I add the least amount of sugar possible (the sweetness options vary depending on the drink). It's so refreshing, even on the coldest days. I also like the lemon one. It's a whole lemon and caffeine free. I usually get that when I want something tart. As for the boba itself, it's good! It has a bit of sweetness to it, and a good chew. You have the option of getting a reusable lid, which I did once. But I keep forgetting to bring it, and I'm not sure if they're allowed to use it anyway because of the pandemic. But t he plastic cups are sturdy enough to use a few more times, so the reusable lid may be worth it. You have the option to scan a QR code to order online, or you can use their kiosk. I don't think they're taking cash at the moment. There's a parklet (standing only), but people tend to stand their while waiting. There's construction across the street so it's noisy. I suggest sitting at Union Square to enjoy your drink. I definitely need to try their desserts! They have egg puffs with ice cream, but they seem so large just for one person. Check them out if you're at Union Square. read more

The first time I had Little Sweet, it was amazing, but it hasn't been the same since. I was glad the street in front of the store was quiet because Union Square traffic is hella packed. I dropped off my friends to place my order and ordered my usual watermelon slush. Watermelon slush (2/5): it honestly tasted like a normal slushie and nothing special. The slush was very icy and barely had any watermelon flavor in it. I do really like the hard composite straws they provide, but stabbing through their lid was extremely difficult. I would probably come back only if there was no other boba places nearby read more

A new boba spot that I discovered in San Francisco thanks to all the Bay Area foodies. The O'Farrell St is an order online and pick-up location only, so make sure to place your order on the way here. I didn't know, so I made the order once I arrived, which took about 15 mins for the order to come out. The Iron Buddha Milk Tea aka Tie Guan Yin Tea is delicious with a blend of floral tea flavor and milk. This oolong tea is so refreshing and I'd definitely recommend it! read more

Little Sweet - Iron Buddha Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place has been living rent free in my mind for months, so I finally bit the bullet. ORDERING: After placing my online order (super easy), I got a text claiming it'd be ready at 1:25pm, approx 20 min after I placed it. Perfect, I can pick up another order I placed elsewhere along the way. No more than 5 min later, I got a text saying my order was ready. I wish the timing was more accurate, but you can't win em all. This wouldn't be an issue if I was able to adjust ice levels to my liking (the only option for anything less than regular ice is none and they charge you $.25 for it). So I accepted the fact that it'd probably be a little watery upon pickup. Not the end of the world. PICKUP: When I arrived for pickup, I gave them my name. They asked if I was Winnie. I said no and they asked me to wait. No problem. 5 min later, they waved me over and pushed two drinks out that didn't look like my order. So I asked, "For Jessica?" and they said, "No, are you not Winnie?" Again, I told them no and that I got a text saying my order was ready for pickup ~15 min ago. They claimed they had no such order even after checking their logs and asked, "are you sure you have the right location?" I had a mini heart attack thinking my order was waiting at another location deeper into SF! I showed my text and after frantically searching, they found it in the fridge. A sigh of relief. DRINKS: Unfortunately, after all that, we were unable to try either drink until we got home an hour later because neither of us could get the paper straw through the thick top. And because they're paper straws (which we def stan for the environment!), you only have a few attempts until they dull. We ended up using a knife to cut into them. I really wanted to try the mango sago drink, but I personally couldn't justify the $8. So instead, I tried the rose high mountain milk tea, 50% sweet with grass jelly. While I felt they went a tad light on the grass jelly, the tea itself was light and refreshing, even an hour after retrieval. BF let me try his passion fruit green tea with boba, and their boba is cooked well with a nice chew. I will inevitably come back to try more of the menu in the future if I'm in the area. Parking around this location is, unsurprisingly, near impossible (unless you pay $8 for a garage like me....) so maybe I'll have to drive even further into SF to another location. Fingers crossed I have better luck with my straw next time. read more

Little Sweet is such a good milk tea and specialty drink spot! It's right near the Westfield Mall and Union Square, so it has a very convenient location. We tried the Mango Strawberry Sago and it was absolutely delicious. The variety of flavors and textures made for a perfectly prepared drink. You could taste how fresh the mango and strawberry were. It had just the right amount of sweetness and fruitiness. The sago was great and there was a lot of it thankfully. The only downside was how expensive the drink was at $8.95. We placed our orders on a touch screen so it was a quick and easy check-out process. The drink came out very quickly, about 5 min after ordering. A very cute storefront and aesthetically pleasing shop. I look forward to trying more of their drinks in the future! read more

Best boba I've ever had. Cute little walk up window, fast service, but zero interfacing with humans for ordering which is not my favorite, but def the way of the future. You can get it full sweet, or less sweet, it will all be outstanding. The fresh strawberry really takes it up ten notches just when you didn't think it could get better.

Solid boba. Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 5/5** There was only one young woman holding down the fort and she did a great job of handling walk up and online orders by herself. She did make me the wrong drink at first, but quickly fixed it. **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** Everything was clean, but there are no napkins available and it's just a walk up store, there's no seating available. **Price & portion, 4/5** Price is higher than I'd like, but on par for the area. **Taste of the food, 5/5** I got a basic passionfruit green tea with lychee jelly, less sweet, and it was delicious! The tea flavor definitely came through and the sweetness and tartness of the passionfruit was really refreshing. read more

One of our go to boba spots in the city. Love that all of their locations are very consistent when it comes to flavor!

Dare I say Little Sweet is my favorite boba joint in the city? Well if it's not at the top spot, it's definitely up there for me. I typically prefer simple and classic milk teas that have a strong tea flavor with just a hint of sweetness. And Little Sweet is exactly that. Some suggests that it's not sweet enough but ... they are called Little Sweet. My only complaint is that they don't offer 25% sweet or less ice options. My go-to orders: White Gourd (Wintermelon) MT 50% sweet Roasted Oolong MT 50% sweet High Mountain MT 50% sweet Pro tip: Order on the website so it's ready when you arrive for pickup read more

Boba shop pretty close to Fidi - with the counter held down by one super productive person working there. Boba itself is pretty good, although it is a bit smaller than normal. The wait time can be a bit longer, but it is worth it as the fruit quality is good and a bit on the sweeter side. Additionally, the topping options are a bit limited compared to other places, but all the toppings were so delicious. This boba shop is only for takeout and you can customize your drinks via a tablet outside. read more

Really small location that can be easily missed. There is however no place to sit down. You can either order from their machine, qr code, or pay directly from the counter. Ordered a Watermelon slushy with small boba. Sweetness from the natural watermelon, but due to how watery the drink was, I would not call this a slushy and instead watermelon juice. Small boba's are very soft and chewy giving a great addition to the drink as a whole. Not overly sweet. Great for hot days or scenarios when you crave for some watermelon. read more

The slush is very refreshing and i believe the drinks are made with fresh ingredients or at least it tasted like it. :) read more
