    Pretty boba shop with okay tea. I got the white peach oolong milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice. The drink wasn't cold at all, so it seemed like there was no ice. It honestly just tasted like a peach oolong tea without the milk. It was very watery. The tea was very strong as I felt pretty jittery afterwards and couldn't sleep at night, even though I got it in the late morning. I paid $7 in cash because they give a 10% discount with cash. They clearly have a restroom that is blocked off with a sign that says no public restrooms. This feels wrong for a boba shop to block it off to paying customers.

    Pretty pinks and florals fill the space. There's a table on one end and some stools lining the wall on the other. I ordered a gardenia hot milk tea and was offered a whipped cream topping with pecans, which was delicious and comforting. It also helped warm me up in the chilly San Francisco weather. There is a screen to order but the cashier said she can help me when I walked in. Nice location near Golden Gate Park and a comfortable place to hang out for a little.

    I see what people mean when they say this can be a similar fix to Molly Tea if you're craving it but don't want to make the drive out there. I love the idea, ambiance, and overall concept, but in the end, I found this place to be just okay. Maybe it was what I ordered, but I just wasn't a fan and ended up not finishing my drink, which I normally would. What I ordered: Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea DRINK: 7/10 My drink was very floral and "perfumey," and the aftertaste was quite bitter and lingered for a while. After a few sips, I felt like the bitterness started to overpower the drink and alter the overall taste. SERVICE: 9/10 You can order through the self-kiosk or with a staff member. Service was fairly quick, and the staff member who served me was very nice. AMBIANCE: 10/10 This is where they shine. Very kawaii and visually appealing from left to right, no matter where you look. I loved all the little trinkets they had displayed, and even their menu is really eye-catching. I don't necessarily feel the need to go back, but if I'm in the area again and looking for a boba spot, I wouldn't mind stopping by.

    I've walked by Momo so many times during my neighborhood walks and always thought it was such a cute spot! I never stopped in because I was on a mission to get my steps in, and I didn't want to defeat the purpose by rewarding myself with milk tea. But one day I finally said YOLO, and went in to try their traditional milk tea, and I'm so glad I did! The tea flavor really stood out. Unlike some places where the drink tastes like mostly milk with a hint of tea, Momo's milk tea had a rich, bold tea flavor that came through in every sip. It was smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. The boba was soft, chewy, and had the perfect texture. It was such a satisfying treat after my walk and definitely hit the spot. I usually order a traditional milk tea when trying a new boba shop because I think it's the best way to tell if they make a good drink. Momo definitely passed the test! I totally forgot to take a photo because I was too excited to drink it, but their cups are adorable too. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and give them a try. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of their menu!

    Great place to go to if you're craving molly tea, but can't get to molly tea lol. The drinks and the overall vibe is very similar. I think molly tea has better tea, but this place has enough similarities where the craving can still be met. The osmathus jasmine milk tea is my favorite - great flavor and not too sweet if you get the less sweet option. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was no one there, so service was very fast and efficient. The seating area is also very cute - lots of cute figurines across the store.

    CUTE SPOT!!! Tryin' to find a parking spot can be a struggle--may the parking gods be with you! I stopped by because I'd heard they have bold tea flavors, and they did not disappoint me. The tea is strong and definitely provides the caffeine kick I was looking for. Jasmine milk tea was good. Dahongpao milk tea, IMO, was even stronger. Definitely coming back for more!

    Solid bubble, tea spot not too far from Golden Gate Park that kind of reminds me of a Chagee (but the tea is less fragrant). It's never been too busy inside when I've gone. The menu is slightly more akin to ones you see at bubble tea shops in China. I've gotten the Jasmine milk tea a few times in the past and the tick one yen milk, tea and it's pretty fragrant and the cream top is very whipped, almost like whip cream on the top with pecans in it, there's also a few tables inside if you need to sit down or want a space to quickly chat with friends. Cutely decorated with a lot of pink and overall peaceful vibes.

    This place gives Molly Tea vibes. I think they are own by similar people. But the teas are not as good as Molly Tea. I would probably pass on this place in the future. Plus there is only one person working so you will be waiting a while for your order.

    Heard Momo Tea was like a Molly tea dupe and it was on doordash so I decided to try it. I could taste the tannins and that covered the florals of the Jasmine and Gardenia aroma. I got 100% sugar even though 50% was recommended and my drink was not sweet at all.

    Momo Tea is a really solid spot for quality milk tea! So far, for the drinks, I've tried: + Gardenia Milk Tea: nice light green tea flavor and floral aroma. One of the lower caffeine tea options - good for later in the day so that the caffeine doesn't disrupt sleep. + Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea: also nice and floral, medium oolong flavor. + Da Hong Pao Milk Tea: a richer oolong flavor, but not bitter. Stronger caffeine. + Narcissus Milk Tea: the strongest one I've tried so far, a hint of bitterness. For all of them, I got 50% sugar and less ice, which was the perfect sweetness level for me (not too sweet). I also recommend getting them with the whipped cream and pecans topping if it's an option. It adds another level of decadence - the roasted pecans are so good! I also tried the Original Egg Puff (good) and Dark Chocolate Egg Puff (meh - the chocolate chips in it were too sweet, and the egg puff waffle part wasn't crispy like the original one was). I do wish there were smaller sizes offered; the only size available is a large cup. The shop has cute decorations inside and seating for several small parties to sit and chat. Service has consistently been great each time. I'll definitely be back to try more of the other teas offered!

    The osmanthus jasmine milk tea was very fragrant. The whipped cream with pecan on top added richness to the drink. There was no line on a Friday late afternoon and my order was made quickly. There was little seating inside.

    Momo tea is a great little tea spot on Irving that does the job when you're craving milk teas. Ordered the Dao Hong Pao milk tea and liked the strong milk tea flavor. They also had interesting flavors like yuzu, coconut milk teas etc. that I'd want to try on my next visit! Service was easy self- service ordering at a kiosk or ordering with the customer service team at the front. My drink came out quickly and the staff were friendly. The interior was cute and pink and looked like a good spot to hang out at. It has some seating, which is nice as some boba shops are grab and go. Parking is metered street parking or residential parking.

    Cute vibes, good drinks. Ordered the white orchid milk tea and the jasmine milk tea (each with option to add on whipped cream and/or pecans), which had a nice tea flavor that didn't taste artificial. The whipped cream was surprisingly not sweet at all - I think I would have preferred a bit sweeter (normally not a person who likes too sweet things) as I didn't even notice it in the drink. Overall, good place for drinks.

    Cute shop, but the drink (moonlight lemon tea) was not good and I had to wait 20-25 minutes to get it. Won't be coming back.

To make things even better, the…read moreparking gods were on my side and blessed me with a spot right around the corner, which meant I could enjoy my drink inside while giving my tired feet a much-needed break. I don't normally drink a lot of boba, but vacations are for treating yourself, right? The crème brûlée milk tea was basically dessert in a cup. You could actually taste and chew on little bits of torched caramelized sugar throughout the drink. The boba itself was perfectly cooked, soft and chewy. And then there was pudding in there too! Every sip had me going "ooh" and "ahh" as I discovered another delicious texture. The only downside was that the drink only comes in one size, and it was a bit too much for me. I was genuinely sad that I couldn't finish it. That's one of the reasons I don't order boba very often. I can eat way more food than I can drink liquid for some reason. But I'd happily return to Urban Ritual to work my way through more of their milk tea menu the next time I'm in San Francisco.

We didn't have to wait in line to order, but all of the tables inside were packed. I was in need of something light and refreshing, so I decided to try the lychee IPA (non-alc). My drink was prepared promptly, and it immediately quenched my thirst. The lychee flavor tasted fresh, and its sweetness was tempered by the subtle hops flavor. The drink was also lightly carbonated with just the right amount of fizz. The menu wasn't as extensive as those of the larger, more established boba shops, and I wish there had been more fruit-flavored teas - especially for the summer. Nevertheless, I can't wait to try other tea varieties on my next visit.

Parking nearby is horrendous, super busy even on the weekdays before the rush hour so I can't imagine weekends when people are out or other high traffic times. Get ready to make some rounds and pay for parking and be careful since there's very specific signage and times. The cafe itself is cute and cozy. Front area is a gift shop with lots of cat themed gifts and goodies like keychains, stickers, and such, and also some items from local and small artists too, which is neat. The cafe also has community events like movie showings ("The Cat Returns" was one of them which is a great choice) and cat yoga. If you're local, you can also get a time stamp if you are a frequent visitor. Definitely follow their socials for more information. There's reservations online and you can also do walk ins if it's not super busy. You can book for a 55 minute visit or a 30 minute visit. PRO-TIP: There's a discount for students, so if you want to be surrounded by some feline friends while you study or relax, great place to do so. You can hang your coat on the rack and there's a mini shelf area for your shoes. So you gotta walk in with socks! With each visit you can either get a hot cup of tea or a cold can or box drink from their fridge (sparking water, juices, etc.). Very refreshing and you can enjoy it in the cat area too. Sanitize your hands before and after visiting. There's lots of cats hiding around, sleeping, walking around, and some are super friendly and will go into your lap. There's toys you can play with the cats with and there's a wall of adoptable cats. Lots of seats or you can opt to sit on the floor with the cats too. There's relaxing lo-fi music throughout too. Pretty cool that they rescued 2 cats from Qatar and neat that we got to see them. As with all cats, some can be a bit spicy but it's usually just a warning teeth rub. I own cats so there's nothing new. I'm horribly allergic to the cat that specifically lives in my house, but I didn't get an allergy here, meaning that the cats are clean and well taken for. My favorite was a large sleepy orange boy, Ron (permanent non-adoptable resident) that was hanging out next to me the entire time.
