First time here and it was great. Ignore all other reviews and focus on this one!!! The interior…read morecould not be more gorgeous, with white marble tables, comfortable modern chairs, a fully bloomed tree in the midst of it all, etc. You get this premium or luxury feeling right when you get in. It's nothing compared to walking into say... Tpumps (no hate on tpumps), because in Chica San Chen there is a beautiful table you can sit at with your friends, whoever, and enjoy your nice freshly brewed tea comfortably. I got the Osmanthus oolong tea w/honey (depicted). It was so refreshing, especially on a hot summer afternoon. The drink came with these cute paper handles that you can hold from (depicted). You can definitely taste the quality of products they use when it comes to the tea, boba, or machines they operate with. Although the drinks are premium, they come with a premium price. But when I tell you its worth it, its worth it! Even if you can only afford it once in a while, go here and no remorse will follow. The payment experience is alike to most boba shops nowadays... kiosks. Once you order, your name goes onto a TV (depicted) so you know either if your drink is ready, or still getting made. Super convenient for the customer. So many options to choose from in that kiosk, so prepare to stand there for 10 minutes like me (if you're indecisive).

Sometimes they do take a while since they prepare drinks individually and carefully. But I have not had a drastic wait time for my drinks. The store is clean and has a calm aesthetic. They do have a bathroom that is clean! The staff are all super kind and considerate, they do not just feel like they are just working the job for a pay, but feel like they care that you walk out happy with your drink and that your money was worth it. We were even coincidentally offered a free tea tasting on my mom's birthday that made her day!

A local friend highly recommended the crème brûlée milk tea here. 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.

I walked about 30 minutes and arrived too early as the store did not open until noon. I walked out to Geary Blvd. and there was a lot of construction as I explored the area. I returned with only 14 minutes left before opening. The lady opening the store was raising the blinds on the windows facing the street. She unlocked the door shortly after noon and directed me to the kiosk to order. I knew I wanted the peach oolong milk tea at 75% sweet with no ice. It had been quite windy on the walk. Because of a coconut allergy in the family I had to ask if the popular mango pomelo sago had any coconut. Unfortunately, it has coconut (milk or oil?). As soon as I heard coconut, it was a no go. I wasn't familiar with pomelo and the lady told me it was like grapefruit. I still wanted to order a mango drink and went instead with the mango smoothie also 75% sweet with less ice. The customer following me asked about alternative milks which they do have. I overheard that they have oat and almond milk. Both drinks were excellent. The milk tea was not too sweet and I appreciated the peach bits in the drink. The mango smoothie was really creamy.

I will be visiting their storefront downtown for afternoon pick-me-ups going forward. Junbi Matcha was hired to come into our office today and serve us two matcha options over our lunch break, regular green matcha and strawberry matcha (with strawberry puree). First, I tried the strawberry matcha, and it tasted amazing. It took me a while to determine if the amazing flavor was coming from the strawberry puree or the matcha, and I assumed (incorrectly) it was solely from the strawberry puree. Remember, I don't normally like matcha.... But then, I went back for seconds and asked for the regular matcha, and it blew me away. Super flavorful, but not super sweet. They had non-dairy options for both that I tried, and the sweeeeet kick of caffeine is exactly what I need to get me through the rest of my afternoon. I will definitely be walking to their location downtown to power me through the afternoons!

The lights outside really set for such a cute twilight mood and though that wasn't the main point of their shop, it was a cute detail. You order off an ipad and wait for your order, pretty typical of most shops nowadays. I remember there being a short line as well, so it seems they are a busy boba shop! The drinks themselves were delicious based on what I remember, I recall their boba being perfectly chewy and not soggy despite getting there so close to closing. The drinks were not heavily packed with sugar, just the perfect amount of tea, milk and sweetness. I'm not really in the area that often, but it's a boba shop that I'll remember forever!

Their go-to drink is the Jasmine Milk Tea with boba, and it never disappoints. Ordering is easy with either the self-service kiosk or a cashier, and they accept both credit cards and cash. Service is quick and efficient, making it the perfect place to grab a drink on the go. Keep in mind that there is no seating area, so it's strictly a grab-and-go spot. If you're craving a refreshing boba tea without a long wait, this is a great choice. Our family definitely recommends Little Sweet for a quick and delicious boba stop!

For this location, the shop is located inside the Kinokuniya Mall in Japantown in San Francisco. [Parking]: There are two parking garages - The Main Garage (1610 Geary Boulevard) and The Fillmore Annex Garage (1650 Fillmore Street). Parking rate = $5 per hour from 12 PM to 6 PM and $3 per hour outside of those hours. I got lucky and was able to find metered parking spots near the intersection of Buchanan St and Sutter St (free on Sunday). [Atmosphere]: Matcha Cafe Maiko is located on the first level of Kinokuniya Mall. This is mostly a takeout only spot with no indoor tables and limited chairs available. [Menu]: Most visitors come here for the matcha soft-serve ice cream. The shop also offers the Golden Sho-Gun 24K gold soft-serve ice cream. Other items include sundaes, parfaits, lattes, cream foam lattes, and teas. *** Soft Serve Ice Cream (Matcha, Cone - $6.95): Amazing ice cream - creamy and dense with a strong matcha flavor. *** This is a fantastic matcha ice cream shop - two big thumbs up. P.S. - If you are already at the shop, this is also a good opportunity to check out other shops in Kinokuniya Mall and the adjacent Japan Center Malls.
