    Jasmin Taro Milk Tea w/ Boba, bad.... Don't get it.
    Joyce L.

    Was in the neighborhood and wanted try a new boba shop, so we stopped by Milktopia. The shop is cute, and they have a giant kiosk for ordering. There was only one person working there, and a few customers inside when we arrived. We tried their soft serve and Jasmin boba tea. The softserve was a ok, but man their boba drink was really bad. Sorry, not my cup of tea It tasted synthetic, and the boba were hard and flavorless. Not sure why they got such high ratings. Definitely not worth the money I paid.

    This place is so cute and the soft serve was so yummy! Texture was amazing (super thick and chewy), and the milkyness and sweetness level was perfect! Pairing it with an egg waffle was the move. Service was a bit slow though. Our egg waffle took a while (we wished the guy prepped that first THEN the soft serve), and we were the only ones there...And I wish it was crispier on the outside (hence the 4 stars). This is still a solid place to come though, and we'll probably be back to try more flavors!

    I really enjoyed my time visiting Milktopia! I've always seen it but this was my first time going in. I was really hoping for a regular matcha but after talking to who I think the owner is, I decided on the strawberry crema. I went to another bubble tea shop close by and I won't name names, but they were not very nice. Walking into Milktopia & having the person working/or owner (not sure who it was) but she was a very very sweet lady and explained what the crema was to me. She was very kind and that is what I really appreciate and sold me on this place. Not only that but the drink was fantastic!!! So glad I listened to her. Can't wait to come back here and support this business more. I really wish I got her name as she was lovely!

    We ordered the passion fruit lychee and the salty egg egg puff. They both tasted good. The tea is nothing special for the price. We looked forward to the salty egg egg puff. It does taste good and the salty egg flavor did not overwhelm but it wasn't cooked well. It was still soft when they took it out and couldn't even sit up straight inside the paper bag. Could have been better.

    What did I just pay for?! I paid over $8 for a tiny shake and it was disgusting. I was already in shock when they handed me the small drink. For $7-8 (including a 4% surcharge and tip), you'd think you would get a large sized drink? That thing was tinier than ever! I would be able to justify paying that much for a drink if it at least tasted good. Super disappointed! Please learn to make better drinks at an appropriate size if you're going to be charging so much for them.

    Mango Pomelo Sasgo
    Susanna L.

    Located in the Parkside neighborhood, Milktopia is a small unassuming storefront; however, once you step inside you're greeted with a wide array of tea beverages, snacks and soft serve options - something for everyone! Inside Milktopia, ordering can be done either with one of their employees or at the kiosk. Seating isn't plentiful in the store, which makes sense given the size; however, there are four bar stool style seating available for those of you wanting to enjoy your selections. Otherwise, most patrons often take their goodies to-go and enjoy them while strolling around the area. I ordered their mango pomelo sago, the HK silky milk tea, and the salty egg puff. Mango pomelo sago is a personal go-to drink of mine, and I'm happy to share that the one crafted by Milktopia tastes just as good as any of my favorites. The HK silky milk tea was authentic, although I will note they use evaporated milk (as opposed to the usual condensed milk) so the drink is a little less sweet than it normally is, which could be a bonus to some. Their egg puffs are freshly made and take about 10 or so minutes to prepare. Their salty egg puff was a delicious mix of savory and sweet flavors, and they also have other unique egg puff flavors including oreo, boba, and meat floss (which I'll definitely be back to try in the future). If you're in the Parkside area and are looking for your next best boba stop, then I highly recommend giving Milktopia a try!

    Jasmine Green Milk Tea
    Sophia H.

    When you enter, there's a kiosk for ordering. The inside of the shop is quite small, but there are four high stools available for seating. There were two people in front of me when I arrived a little after 2pm on Saturday. After placing my order, I sat on one of the stools to wait for my drink. From the time I arrived to when I got my drink, it took about 30 minutes, which felt like a long wait. There were two staff members making drinks behind the counter, and a third person joined later. I ordered a Jasmine Green Milk Tea with 25% sweetness. The boba had a good texture but did lack a bit of flavor. Overall, the drink was decent. It was more on the lighter side than rich, so it wasn't the creamiest. The tea had a good fragrance.

    B20. Paradise Island Fruit Tea
    Janessa M.

    I tried their Paradise Island Fruit Tea and Mango Pomelo Sago drink. The paradise drink was pretty good & refreshing, it had a nice tea flavor. I added boba to this drink and their boba was slightly hard in the middle. Also, the drink didn't have enough boba for it be an extra 80 cents charge. On the other hand, their Mango Pomelo Sago drink was delicious! It was like a mango slushie. This drink included crystal boba and sago. Their crystal boba had a better texture than their regular boba.

    I love coming here for their egg puffs. They also have a variety of drinks to choose from. Hong Kong style menu. I asked the owner and he's from Hong Kong so it makes it even better. Their honey soft serve was pretty good too. I'll come back to try their spamasubis and other egg puffs. I really recommend their original egg puff.

    T9. HK Silky Classic Milk Tea
    Alisa B.

    A friend of mine recommended the HK Silky Milk Tea here, so I gave it a try while in the area. The drink was very rich and creamy! The perfect balance for my palate. A classic strong black tea flavor that I adore. The caffeine was also pretty hefty too. Kept me awake for a good while. KEEP IN MIND: Taraval doesn't have any parking really. So definitely aim to park in a nearby neighboorhood. There's also no seating inside. Takeout only!

    Every once in a while you get a puff filled to the brim with boba, it's so good!
    Thien H.

    After dining at the nearby Happy Family Chinese restaurant for lunch, we were looking for dessert. Milktopia was such a great find! It's a little different from most boba restaurants in that they offer soft serve. The vanilla ice cream soft serve with boba was good. The boba had an excellent texture. Cooked all the way through, soft, bouncy, good size-not too small, and nicely chewy. I've never seen a boba filled puff waffle before and had to have it. I haven't ordered a puff waffle in a while. Milktopia's waffle was unexpectedly nice and chewy, not dry like other puff waffles I've tried previously. The boba was great. The boba are unevenly spread out of course, so it becomes a fun surprise when you get a puff filled with a lot of them. The waffle and the ice cream went well together. The employee was nice. He had about ten drinks to make after us, so the wait will vary. If you pay with a credit card then there's an extra fee, so I paid with cash. There's some metered street parking and some neighborhood spots, but it's one of the neighborhoods where a lot of spots are too small except for fiats fyi. I didn't try any of the milk tea, drinks, or spam musubi, but for the boba waffle alone it is worth the visit.

    T7. Oolong Crema and T8. Yin-Yang Oolong Caff
    Michele T.

    Needed a caffeine fix and kiddo wanted to try this place. Quite a long list of items to choose from, and glad they noted their best sellers. So, we decided on the Oolong Crema and Yin Yang Oolong. The crema comes with Oolong tea jelly and I added it to the Yin Yang drinks as well. For me, 25% sweetness was perfect - just enough sweetness. I really like grass jelly and never tried Oolong tea jelly, which I liked. Enjoyed the Yin Yang Oolong. Kiddo seemed to like the Oolong crema. Prices comparable to most other tea places. The egg puffs looked interesting, but when did they become so pricey?!?

    Newbie popped in for a boba drink on Taraval Street. Location is clean, bright and welcoming. Counter person was nice, gracious and helpful. Usually go for a passion fruit tea with boba but was transfixed by the Taro Milk Tea w/ boba. The lid is quaint with a little on/off cap that fits the straw. Loved the tea, not too sweet with that toasty taro flavor! Will be back when in the neighborhood to try the rest of the drink menu! Taraval Street is rife with road construction at this end. Parking is doable if challenging under these circumstances. Try to travel on Ulloa to get back/forth to the businesses on Taraval. The Taraval Street merchants need customer support during this construction period.

Their traditional tea drinks (Jasmine, Oolong, etc) are all safe orders, and all possess a strong tea flavor, similar the likes of Molly tea but not as floral, compared to most boba shops in the city. I've been here a couple times, and ordered their Jasmine and Oolong teas respectively. They were both excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed every sip. 75% sweetness is the way to go for those who order less sugar, but it can be lowered to 50% if you're more of a tea person. They also respect your ice level, which is always a plus. The boba pearls are bouncy, chewy, and flavorful, and I have yet to nom on one bad one. The quality is consistent, unlike some boba chains in the city. It seems other Yelpers have had mixed reviews with their other drinks, but judging by the name, you come here for milk teas. There are matcha places that specialize in matcha. Come in for milk teas, and leave with happy taste buds!

We ordered Matcha and it definitely was better than other Matcha tea that I've had but it also wasn't spectacular. What I ordered again? From here, yes. The Matcha flavor was smooth, which is not always something that other tea houses managed to do We ordered the egg puffs: one in double chocolate, and the other one in Oreo. The Oreo is definitely a hard pass. The filling was pretty nonexistent, and what was there virtually did not taste like anything let alone Oreo. The double chocolate was a surprise hit. They definitely needed more filling, but they were better than the Oreo. Since these are handmade, it's totally controllable and it just tasted like little to no effort was put into them. The chocolate had the perfect amount of sweetness, and it went oddly well with the Matcha. There are a couple of barstools next to an extremely narrow little table that hadn't been cleaned. The space is not necessarily unusual for San Francisco, it's just not a comfortable space.
