3.5 STARS An article called the city: "The Boba Capital". Probably due to the density because the struggle to find a solid, good quality milk tea is real in the city! Sure, there's maybe a handful of solid places but sadly, still not close to the caliber of tea shops in the South Bay. Opening in late September 2024, Momo Tea is a new wave of Chinese aesthetic tea shops with a boutique-like vibe, sturdy artful cups, and whipped cream topped tea drinks. I thought it would be a Molly Tea and Moon Tea dupe so I was hopeful. They offer takeout, delivery, indoor seating, and dog-friendly outdoor seating (two tables). M E N U Tea Series: Fresh milk tea, lemon tea, and specials (avocado latte, ube latte, etc). One size only. - Sweetness: 0%, 25%, 50%, 100% - Toppings: Whipped cream + pecan (free), crystal boba, and aloe only (75 cents each). They don't have regular boba. - Milk: Whole or oat milk (+50 cents) D R I N K S * Da Hong Pao Milk Tea w/ whipped cream + pecan ($6.99): https://tinyurl.com/as452uzx - Request 50% sweet - Request whipped cream + pecan While I appreciate the strong tea flavor, the da hong pao seemed to be over-steeped as it had a bitter aftertaste. It tasted more like a black tea than an oolong with earthy and fruity notes. The whipped cream with crunchy pecans (plain, not salted or caramelized) helped to balance the bitterness. Unfortunately, I didn't think it was on par with Molly Tea or Moon Tea. * Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea ($6.99): https://tinyurl.com/3pjnbcdp - Request 50% sweet Strong tea flavor, the osmanthus oolong milk tea was bold, floral, and smooth. However, IDK if it was the sweetener or milk used but it had an off aftertaste. S E R V I C E Contactless ordering via one kiosk or you can order via QR code. Sweet owner. Drinks are ready within minutes. A M B I A N C E Pretty in pink with pink walls and pink bags lining the wall. One table inside for seating along with window counter seats (short stools). Two tables outside. P A R K I N G Street and residential parking. Overall, cute new tea shop in Inner Sunset with decent milk teas for the city's standards. I appreciate their strong tea flavor so I'm hopeful after a third visit, I can find my go-to drink. read more

It seems like more of these types of tea shops are popping up around the Bay Area - the ones with the distinct, vibrant paper cups and whipped cream with nuts (like Molly Tea and Moon Tea in Sunnyvale). Warning, they don't have regular boba, only agar boba and aloe. If they did sell regular boba, I'd be coming here more often. On the other hand, it's also nice to have a lighter drink versus a heavy dessert drink with boba. I've tried the osmanthus oolong, Dahongpao, and Narcissus milk teas. All were enjoyable and fragrant, but not the best I've had. The osmanthus flavor could be stronger, and the tea could be creamier - I guess that's what the whipped cream's for. There are no cup sizes to choose from, but I got the bigger blue cup (which means more tea!) when I ordered the whipped cream for no extra cost. For once, I'd actually recommend normal ice levels. I found the smaller straw so interesting because it's basically three stirrers glued together. It limits the flow, so you can taste the tea and enjoy it more, but I couldn't get to any of the pecan bits. Overall, I'm happy Momo Tea opened in the Sunset, and I'd come back once in a while. read more

This is a very cute tea spot. It's nicely decorated with a lot of pink and different figurines placed throughout the shop. There's a kiosk for ordering. I ordered a Narcissus Milk Tea with oat milk and mild sugar (25%). I should've done a little more research before coming, but they offer only crystal boba and aloe for toppings. I was a little disappointed that there was no regular boba. This place focuses more on the tea quality, and it definitely showed through my drink. According to Google, narcissus is a type of oolong tea. It had a floral and roasted flavor, and based on their menu, narcissus has a high tea strength. It was delicious. My drink came with cream and pecan, but I opted out of cream. The pecan was different, and I've never had it in a milk tea before. I liked it. I would come here back to try their other teas! read more

My friend ordered the white peach oolong milk tea with cream and pecans which I thought was too artificially peachy and sweet. However she really enjoyed it so I think it's to each their own. I ordered the dahongpao milk tea with cream and no pecans which is basically a black milk tea and it was pretty good. The tea used in both drinks is really strong. Though I enjoy strong teas for my milk teas, I also appreciate a good milk to tea ratio for a creamier texture which this one lacked. It felt more like I was drinking straight black tea. The cream on top is super light and blended well with my milk tea near the end to help balance out the strong tea. This store reminds me of Chagee or Molly Tea which are two very popular milk tea chains in China and Momo Tea has an even stronger tea taste which I preferred because Molly Tea and Chagee which tasted quite bland to me. The store is super pink and cute and they have the cutest cups and packaging. Only con is that they are kinda slow. We waited maybe 15 minutes for our drinks when there were barely any people in the store. However the owner is super sweet so I recommend coming to support a local small business. Though it's nothing extraordinary, it's a solid milk tea shop and I would come back again. read more

Momo Tea - White peach oolong milk tea and dahongpao milk tea - Tea Rooms Near Me - San Francisco, California

Was looking for a boba place after spending a few hours at Haight Street when we came across this place. We ordered online and when we went to pick it up, there was barely anyone inside. I ordered the Narcissus Milk Tea, 50% sugar, less ice, w/whipped cream and pecan for about $7. also ordered (not pictured): White Peach Oolong Milk Tea, 50% sugar, less ice, w/whipped cream and pecan Matcha Latte, 50% sugar, less ice This was one of the best places to come to if you like strong teas. I really really really LOVED the after taste of strong oolong afterwards. The white peach oolong was one of the best I've had in the US. The tea was strong enough so that it covered the milky taste of the dairy part. It was a bit more floral and not too peachy. My friend ordered the Gardenia Milk Tea which had a more floral, earthy taste to it. The milk teas were absolutely amazing!!! The whipped cream and pecans added a nice finishing touch to the drink. However, the Matcha Latte fell a bit flat as it mostly just tasted like milk (but then again it shows that this place specializes in teas!). It's a bit on the pricier side (as broke college students ) BUT the cup is pretty big for the price! 10/10 would recommend and would come back to try their other teas!!! read more

Narcissus Milk Tea: 4/5. It's an oolong milk tea, but I wished it was a bit creamier and had a stronger tea flavor. The sweetness level was great though! Got 100% sweetness and wasn't really sweet. Gardenia Milk Tea: 4.8/5. Even though it wasn't as creamy as I'd like, the tea flavor was very strong and floral which was lovely. Dahongpao Milk Tea: 4.2/5. This was the better black milk tea between this and the narcissus milk tea. This one had an almost sweeter flavor profile than the narcicuss. Ambiance: Inside is decorated with a very cohesive pink theme and was extra cute for the holidays! There are only around 15ish seats. Not great for huge groups (8+) who want to sit and chat. Overall: Drinks lean towards the less creamy and less sweet side. I recommend the Gardenia Milk Tea if you like floral teas. Service was good and relatively quick. The shop has somewhat limited seating but is super cute! Would definitely come here again! :) read more

Tried Momo Tea for the very first time over the weekend and I am very impressed by the taste of the tea. I tried the peach oolong tea and the narcissus tea and both had a very strong tea taste. I love that they add chopped pecans at the top of their cream foam. The service was quick and the ambiance was just like your typical tea/boba shop. I highly recommend this place if you like strong tea taste. read more

Someone told me that this was the Molly Tea dupe and I have to disagree. It's not bad but I prefer stronger jasmine tea flavor and a bit sweeter. Considering I got 100% sweetness, it was more like a 50% sweet at most other places. If you prefer the opposite then this place is the place for you. The peach oolong seems to also be popular so I may give that another try if I'm back, but probably a pass for me on the Jasmine milk tea. read more

Momo Tea - Tea Rooms Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cute new milk tea place opened up in Inner Sunset! Based on some of the construction equipment I saw it looks like they're still fixing things up. Limited drinks but mostly tea based. From other reviews, I knew that it would be really strong tea flavors. Decided to get a hot Narcissus Milk Tea. Drink was made pretty quickly--wait was only 5 minutes. The cup is SO pretty. I would reuse it if it wasn't paper. The drink is really good. I got 25% sweetness and I didn't do any priced add ons. I'm not sure how narcissus is supposed to taste but I did taste floral notes in the tea and I can tell that they steeped it for a very long time. Got a caffeine rush drinking it. If you're looking for a tea place that isn't too sweet or sugary and needing an alternative to coffee--I recommend checking this place out. read more

Cream top tea and candied pecans?! I'm there! Once you walk in you may order on the kiosk. Drinks: - Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea (100% sweet, less ice, whole milk, cream+pecan) - Moonlight Lemon Tea (50% sweet, less ice, crystal boba) - White Peach Oolong Milk Tea (100% sweet, less ice, oat milk, cream+pecan) I initially only got the osmanthus, however I like it so much and I wasn't sure when I was gonna go back, so I decided ended up getting another one to try (white peach). My bf got the moonlight lemon tea. My favorite would be the osmanthus oolong milk tea as it had the perfect balance of tea and cream. I finished it soon after getting back to the car. My bf liked his lemon drink, but would also get wanna the drinks I got next time hehe There was a few seating inside/along the walls. Their cups are cute. Parking: street/neighborhood Overall I enjoy the drinks and would go again! (Would try their jasmine next time) read more

Went on a Weekend ~6pm, no line. Got: Ube Latte, Jasmine Green Milk Tea, and Peach Oolong Milk Tea. Ube Latte : needed a decaf drink and gosh it was such a great choice. if you've had like malaysian deserts (not sure how to spell them) but it had the thicker consistency, with a coconut undertone and the ube was amazing with it. Jasmine Green Milk Tea : 50% sweetness recommended by worker. you can taste the depth and difference in the quality of tea leaves they use here. Peach Oolong Milk Tea : 100% sweetness bc I normally find oolong to be a little more bitter. delicious. everything you'd expect but you can taste the intention behind using real tea to curate the experience and drink. the cashier was soooo nice. answered all our questions and i love when they have opinions on the drinks. read more

momo tea is a cute boba shop! the decor is all pink, and the cups and bags have beautiful designs. it can sometimes be difficult to find parking in the area, but there's a lot of street parking and nearby neighborhood parking. the menu is very unique, although i wish they provided descriptions for some of the menu items. they also only offer two topping options: crystal boba and aloe. even though my friend and i were the only customers in the shop, it took a while to make our drinks. they offered complimentary gummies at the pickup window. - white peach oolong milk tea (2/5): VERY peachy and floral, which tasted artificial. i thought it was too sweet at 100% sugar, especially with the whipped cream. i did like how lightly creamy the milk tea was though. the whipped cream, freeze-dried peaches, and pecans weren't really necessary because they were overshadowed by the perfumey flavor of the tea, although they made the drink look very pretty - narcissus milk tea (3/5): this was supposed to be an oolong milk tea, but it tasted like black milk tea. i didn't really taste notes of the oolong. i liked how sweet it was at 50% sugar, although the whipped cream made it a little sweeter. the flavor combo of the whipped cream and narcissus milk tea was better than with the white peach oolong. the chopped pecans gave the tea a weird texure as they became soft and soggy over time - yuzu lemon tea (3.5/5): a little overly citrusy and tart at 50% sugar (the recommended level) because of the combination of yuzu and lemon. it might've been better balanced with more sugar. they freshly juiced the fruit, and i liked the pulp in the tea. i just wish they removed the seeds. this also came in a smaller size than the other teas at about the same price we thought momo tea was alright but very expensive at over $8 a drink with toppings. maybe we paid for the pretty packaging, complimentary candies, or whipped cream, but i didn't think the drinks were worth the price tag. i did appreciate the fresh ingredients and care in making our drinks, but i probably wouldn't come back unless a friend really wanted to try it. read more

Another milk tea trend from China. First of all, it has a nice cup design which feels very fancy and cute. However, the milk tea itself tastes too much tea and the milk tastes not quality. I thought there would be whip cream but there's none on top. I dont know if it's because we got it to go. My friend ordered the Dahongpao milk tea. The tea is way too too strong and she didn't like it. I think they need to rebalance the milk and tea ratio. read more

Was super excited to try out this new spot that replaced Third Culture Bakery, but was sadly disappointed. I did want to note that it seemed like only 1 person was working, but there were only about 4-6 other orders and not very busy in store. Will say she was very nice though! Drinks ordered: Gardenia milk tea w/ crystal boba, less sweet no ice (3/10): the milk tea was fine although a bit bland yet somehow perfumey. They also gave me so much ice even though I asked for none and forgot my crystal boba until I went back and asked for it. They used the same cup and tossed in a little crystal boba but a good portion of my milk tea was already gone (bc I was trying to see if there was any boba underneath all the ice). Jasmine milk tea (4/10): very standard, nothing amazing but not worth $6.99 since we didn't add any extras to it. Overall I would give them another try later on, but maybe when their snacks are ready as well. (We also decided against the whipped cream since we didn't want something extremely sweet). read more

We stumbled across this cute little boba shop in the inner sunset. There's a kiosk inside where you can self order and they offer 10% off if you pay in cash. The interior is very pink and aesthetic. They highlight brewed teas so the drink has less of the artificial syrup flavors. I ordered the peach oolong milk tea with a peach which comes with whipped cream and crunched pecans. I also got it 50% sweet and that was the perfect amount. It has a peach tea essence without being overly sweet or bitter. The one caveat is that I did pay eight dollars for this drink. I don't think it's worth eight dollars, so it was worth checking out but I don't think I'd come back. I'm glad I got to try it though. read more

Stopped in here on a Friday and was a little concerned with the reviews but decided to give the spot a shot. Their Yuzi (yes I spelled that how they spelled it) was delicious. Very Yuzu. They load their drinks that come with whip with a lot of whip. It was decent. I don't think this place deserves the low reviews. I only wish this place had a point system. It was good. Was it the best ever? Probably not, but it's deff not a 1 or 2 star. Give it a shot and try it out. :) read more

I came here on a Monday afternoon. This business is relatively new, considering the limited pink furniture and bar-like area that could seat several people. There were a lot of items on the menu that we could not order yet but wanted to try, such as the black pink drink. We ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea and Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea. I think it's good to keep in mind that when I order half sweetness at other places, I should order full sweetness at Momo Tea. Besides it being not sweet enough, I enjoyed the flavoring of the Jasmine Milk Tea. The Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea was also flavorful and at its right sweetness. I would like to try this boba place again in the future when it has its full menu, including snacks, such as the bubble waffles advertised. read more

Stumbled upon this place and decided to try the matcha latte. I was asked if I wanted whipped cream and I said no, but got it anyway with some pecans. Upon receiving the matcha latte, I just knew it wasn't going to be good. At regular sweetness, it was pretty sweet. The matcha was not high quality and the drink itself barely tasted like matcha. For $6.99 + tax, this was pretty disappointing and I unfortunatelyhad to trash it because it's not worth the calories. I'm not in a rush to come back and try the other drinks, and I would not recommend the matcha latte. read more

I got the White Peach Oolong Milk Tea. This was very peachy and floral, it was refreshing and not too sweet. I think the white peach + oolong tea combo could really be a hit or miss and they did well combining the two, it was definitely on the peachier side. I really like that most drinks come with a whip cream topping, it added a nice flavor when combined with the milk tea, and the whip cream on this also had a nice white peach flavoring to it. read more

I really enjoy their milk teas. My opinion is their floral teas are their specialty. They are especially fragrant, not heavy feeling, but strong, so keep that in mind if caffeine sensitive. I've tried their gardenia milk tea, white peach oolong milk tea, and osmanthus , all which I enjoy. If you've tried Molly tea, they are similar, without needing to drive to San Mateo. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute pink and flower theme, goes well with the packaging and their specials.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I hope they get more business. read more

A super cute interior , full of pink, flower and cute decor. Gives me the vibes of Molly tea. You can order at the self ordering kiosk or order though the person at the register. 10% discount for cash. Their cups are seriously so pretty. I got their white peach oolong milk tea. Mild sugar (25%) less ice and they add whipped cream with pecans, I added boba to my drink. Initially I didn't like the drink, felt like it was really bland. Sipped the whip cream, nothing particular good or bad. It's not sweet but really creamy. The boba no flavor, so probably would skip. I get more flavor when I sip the drink from the cup, not from the straw. I like this method, the taste of the tea grew on me. $8.41 ~ pricier side... but that's with the added boba. I liked the music they played. The staff is nice too, she gave me a free magnet read more

I wanted to check out this new boba tea shop that opened and took over the old mochi donut shop. I got the da hongpao milk tea with the whipped cream and enjoyed the tea overall but thought their whipped cream was a bit odd for me. I appreciate the ingenuity to add it, but was a weird topping for my taste. The tea itself was unique and hadn't had this exact tea flavor at other boba shops. Service is friendly and speedy. Got my drink within 5 minutes with minimal wait. The space is also decorated very nicely and the cups look fancy. I am curious to try their other tea flavors next time. read more

Momo Tea is a good boba shop in SF with teas that have a strong tea flavor. I came on a Sunday afternoon and ordered the Dahongpao milk tea at 50% sweetness (the recommended sweetness level). The milk tea was made really quickly as it was not extremely busy at that time. The drink itself was really good with hints of a roasty and nutty flavor. Honestly, it reminds me of Molly Tea with the same milk tea + whipped cream + pecan topping on top of the whipped cream. The shop inside was a bright pink color with some seating inside. There is not much space inside, so it definitely is more of a grab and go spot for boba. Overall though, I really liked the Dahongpao milk tea and would come back again to try other drinks, maybe their white peach oolong as that seems to be their most popular drink. read more

I'd been wanting to try Momo Tea for a while when I stopped in for a drink over the weekend while I was out walking around in Inner Sunset.

Momo tea is by far my favorite tea place in SF. I love their drinks, it has tea flavor. My favorite drink is the peach oolong milk tea and osmanthus oolong milk tea. Aside from very delicious tea and their cup design is also impressive. The only down side for me is that their drink is too small. (That's why I can only rate them 4 stars) I like to order my drinks in large. Their pecan whipped cream is delicious too. Their drinks are addicting. I always have to order 2 for my cravings. read more
