    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.

    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!

    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.

    I was scrolling through TikTok looking for a good tea spot when I came across HeyTea, and…read more"obsessed" is honestly an understatement. I ordered the Guava Jasmine Tea, and it was chef's kiss. As a self-proclaimed guava connoisseur, I'm usually turned off by artificial guava flavoring, but this tasted incredibly fresh and natural. The guava was perfectly balanced with the floral jasmine tea, making it both refreshing and dangerously addictive. In fact, I had it three days in a row. No regrets. I also tried the Oolong Tea with Yuzu Cream, and the experience was just as memorable as the drink itself. The staff called me up when my order was ready and explained that they wait until customers arrive before finishing the drink because they freshly shave the yuzu on top. It felt like a mini show and made the experience so much more fun. I can totally see why it's become popular on social media--it's one of those little moments that makes the drink feel special. The tea itself was surprisingly strong too--it definitely gave me a caffeine boost and even kept me up one night! Between the quality ingredients, refreshing flavors, and thoughtful presentation, HeyTea has quickly become one of my favorite tea spots.

There's a tablet off to the side that you can use to order your drinks. If the line gets too long, a cashier tends to jump in to help with orders. I do appreciate the screen in the corner that shows your order number so you're able to track it. I usually opt for their Coconut Mango Boom and it's never too sweet. Overall, I think the experience is decent if you order ahead. It seems less worth it when there's a long wait. There's also not a lot of seats inside so it feels more of a order and go kind of place.

On a Holiday stroll at Sunset Strip of San Francisco on Taraval street I ran into a Boba place I haven't tried and it's called Quarters Teahouse. I walked in and it's a small space with a kiosk to order. I tapped in and picked the Guava and Lychee Green tea. The drink was delicious and on a sunny day it was refreshing with the cold ice.

Given that, it doesn't escape me that it took just a matter of months for my next visit to happen again. No real rhyme or reason as to why it didn't take nearly as long this time, but I'd be lying if I said that the Ube Halo Halo we tried didn't have something to do with it. While it ultimately wasn't what we ordered, the memory of what we had definitely got us excited to try more when my friends suggested coming here! Compared to the location over on Geary (and the one in Westminster, for what it's worth), this Bambu is better in just about every way. Sure, it helps that it's still relatively new (they opened about eight months ago?), but it's undoubtedly cleaner, feels a whole lot brighter, is a bit more conveniently located, and, most significantly, has way more parking available nearby. As for the menu, it had pretty much all of the usual offerings that you'd expect to find at any of their locations - che desserts, milk tea, fruit teas, waffles, macarons, and Vietnamese coffee. -- MANGO HALO HALO - Green Jello Base with Coconut Meat, Coconut Milk, Red Tapioca, Jackfruit, Egg Pudding, Crystal Boba, Mango Jelly, Pandan Jelly, Nata de Coco, and Topped with Mango Ice Cream While it didn't impress quite like the Ube Halo Halo did, this was still really good. Between all of the mangos (vs ube) and jellies, this felt a lot fruitier and lighter. However, it also didn't feel quite as creamy as the Ube one did, which I kind of missed. -- VIETNAMESE EGG COFFEE Sadly, the coffee is a pre-made mix, so they weren't able to modify the sweetness, but I appreciate that they added plain coffee to help dilute it. Even then, though, this ended up being really sweet. Loved how creamy the egg foam made this, though. Despite how I genuinely like this particular Bambu, I don't know how often I would come back since I don't typically crave che desserts and other places usually come to mind first when I think of where to get milk tea. However, should the urge or occasion arise to go to a Bambu again, I wouldn't hesitate to come back to this one, especially so that I can give their Yoonami Drinks, Smoothies, and Ube Mochi Waffle a try!
