    Cute drink place with competitive pricing and menu items. Lots of indoor seating which is nice if you need a little break. Only tried one item and rated based on that. Tea was flavorful, wish there was a bit more topping. Nice shopkeeper.

    The food was Amazing expect the popcirn chicken when it gets cold. The pot stickers were bussing. Packed with alot of flavor you don't need the sauce they give you. The passion fruit tea was amazing. It had real fruit pieces in the cup and the tea was freshly brewed. The service was good. She lady was nice, helpful, patient, and friendly. She allowed customers to take their time ordering. The ambiance was something out of a book. There was umbrellas hanging from the ceiling in different colors.

    Love Tea is a cute little boba shop right at the corner of Grant and Broadway. Very easy to find and walking inside, I really love all the umbrellas across the ceiling. I always love that kind of decor every time I see it at various places. Very colorful and makes me smile. I ordered the Thai milk tea and it was a simple milk tea but not too sweet and not too bitter. Next time, I would probably ask for more sweetness but it's totally fine. The prices are not too expensive and service was very efficient even on Chinese New Year parade day. When the shop can handle lots of customers but pump out drinks pretty fast, the staff was very efficient. When I'm in the area again, I'll definitely stop by and try more of their drinks.

    We decided to try this place out. Typical boba and snack spot. Entering the place, you see the cute oriental umbrellas hanging above. We ordered a lemon lime green tea and a Vietnamese coffee. It was bit of a wait. The tea was good and well the Vietnamese coffee did not taste much like a Vietnamese coffee. Not sure I'd come back as there's plenty other spots with better tasting drinks and service.

    As expected, mediocre at best. My taro boba smoothie barely tasted like taro. The customer service is also as expected. The lady behind the counter looked like she hates the world. I can assure you today will be my last visit. There are alot of other boba shops to visit. Not to mention the price is a but high for quality that's mediocre. Service: C Price: $$ Quality: C

    Oolong milk tea
    Dani M.

    I was craving boba and this shop was right next to where I parked on the border of Chinatown. I got the regular size oolong milk tea with boba 50% sweet. It was definitely nostalgic of the time when Quickly's was the most popular boba spot. I liked the boba's consistency, perfectly chewy, and the usage of nondairy creamer in the milk tea.

    Popcorn Chicken
    Pei Ting L.

    I was still feeling hungry after dinner with my friend, and she had recommended that I try their popcorn chicken here. Since we came at night, there was no wait, and I got my items really quick. I'm so glad I took my friend's recommendation because I think i just found one of my favorite popcorn chicken in SF. This place has one of THE BEST popcorn chicken! The chicken is seasoned to perfection with the right amount of batter. Each bite was a delicious, juicy, soft piece of chicken. The portion size was also huge. You get a big take out box stuffed to the brim! I also got the osmanthus oolong milk tea, and it was pretty disappointing. The drink was super watered down and didn't have much tea flavor. Nonetheless, I'll return, but just for the popcorn chicken.

    Stopped by on a quiet Thursday afternoon. Lots of choices for drinks. Ordered the sparkling lemon lime tea and ended up with sparkling lemon grapefruit tea. Didn't bother to change it, it was refreshing and I had it with 30% sweetener. It was just perfect. Will want to try their boba next and other offerings.

    Cool interior decor

    It was a rare sizzling day in the city so we needed a drink to cool off as we were walking through the city. We were traipsing through North Beach / Chinatown boundary when I started craving boba. Popped open Yelp and saw Love Tea was closest and highly rated. The decor inside is super cute. I loved the colorful umbrellas hung upside down from the ceiling! It was very cheery inside. The drink menu is long and there's a handful of savory snacks as well. My husband waited outside with our toddler while I ordered. He got the Jasmine Green Tea without boba (I know, right? He doesn't like the texture) and I got the Kiwi smoothie to share with our son. The smoothie was perfect on this hot day and very refreshing. The tea even with ice was still too warm on this ridiculously hot day. My husband joked that the high prices are due to the extravagant cups! They are thick thick thick plastic with a fancy lid, and yes, the prices here are too high. Didn't care for the high prices, but they got me on this hot day! I probably wouldn't come back but it was one of those 'in the moment' choices: right place, right time. No regrets. It was worth the splurge on that day, but neither drink was extraordinary.

    Popcorn Chicken

    Conveniently located at the borders of SF Chinatown. Been here for a few times for a quick boba stop and would say some drinks are a hit or miss. Regular boba is free of charge for your drink! The cashiers are pretty monotone and appear serious but will take your order quickly. This time around I opted for their popcorn chicken. I liked that you can customize the seasonings they offer which varied from hot pepper, black pepper, salt, basil, and a few more. Basil with popcorn chicken is a must wherever and whenever I order popcorn chicken. However, the popcorn chicken here had a lot of fatty parts which made me feel a little sick of it half way through.

    Love the Lychee tea i got, it was by far the best I have had! It had lychee cubes and bobas ! The flavor was good and not too sweet! I enjoyed the ambiance and the cute umbrellas hanging on the ceiling! They have snacks too : lobster balls, french fries, to mention! It's at a corned so pretty easy to find if you are in the area!

    Boba tea was okay. Service could definitely improve such as making more eye contact and smiling while greeting customers. It's a nice, small hangout place.

    I loved these

    Great little place in Chinatown to get a pick me upper. The staff was easygoing and helpful with a few questions I had. Teas were very refreshing. My blueberry milk tea was pretty good, but could've tasted more like blueberries. Other than that small detail the visit was a pleasant one. Prices are reasonable and the store itself is super cute and sparkly clean. Good place to get some tea or a snacky snack.

    DO NOT PAY FOR DELIVERY…read more We paid extra to have our order delivered to our hotel and used the restaurant's order-ahead option. We scheduled the delivery for 9:20 a.m., but by 8:40 a.m. the app showed it had already been delivered. The problem? There was no food at our hotel room. I tried contacting the delivery driver by text, but never received a response. It was incredibly frustrating, especially after leaving a generous tip. We later found out the driver had left the food at the hotel but never told the front desk which room it was for, even though they had all of the delivery information. As a result, our food just sat there until we eventually had to go down and get it ourselves. In the end, I paid for a delivery service that I never actually received. Instead of enjoying the convenience we paid for, we had to track down our own order. Based on this experience, I would not recommend paying for delivery. If you're ordering from this restaurant, save your money and pick it up yourself. I paid for a service, but I did not receive what I paid for. Then to make it worse the breakfast sandwich was just OK. Nothing to write home to mom about. To say the least we will not be ordering her again and would not recommend this restaurant.

So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

It had a very subtle matcha flavor, but I couldn't taste the grassiness. The sea green color was aesthetically pleasing when combined with the grassy matcha hue. As a drink, it is refreshing, but as a matcha latte, I felt there was too much milk, which drowns out the matcha flavor. 6/5 Kopi Klepon, Iced This was too delicious, I kept stealing sips from my partner (instead of drinking my own drink) and would order this one again. There was some coconutty sweetness, which added delicious complexity, and slight bitterness that pairs well with the sweet. In terms of flavor, this coffee drink rivals Vietnamese coffee. 4/5 Pandan Bolu This sponge cake-like pastry was springy and bouncy, with a medium green hue.

Our desserts arrived right away, and our drinks followed about 10 minutes later. ​The service was remarkably friendly and warm. When I originally requested oat milk for my latte, the staff kindly mentioned that they use lactose-free milk by default. To help me decide, she even offered small samples of both the lactose-free pandan milk and the oat pandan milk to compare. That extra touch of hospitality was so appreciated! ​We ordered a few Kopi Pandans (with the default lactose-free milk) alongside a couple of their pandan desserts. The Kopi Pandan was brilliantly balanced--it had just the right amount of fragrant pandan without being overpowering or tasting grassy. Having tried my fair share of pandan drinks that missed the mark, I know how hard it is to get that flavor profile just right. ​Of the two desserts we tried, the Pandan Layered Cake slice was the standout. Kopi Kita Coffee also offers a few savory Indonesian snacks (like lemper and arem-arem), which I definitely look forward to trying on our next visit!
