It's easy to get lackluster service these days so I want to shout out the team behind the counter as a whole. They were doing what they had to do, learning, and efficient. The price of the drinks are a little high, but once you taste the freshness of the ingredients and drinks, it's understandable. They also had a special the day I came in. Looking forward to bringing my sister when she is in town. Keep up the good work!

The guy taking our order greeted us with a smile and was super friendly. He even offered water for our dog.

The mangos in the shake weren't Manila mangos like we were hoping but he said it was still good and refreshing on this hot day.

I spend wayyyy too much money on boba and Kung Fu Tea is definitely not helping my addiction!…read more I've been to other stores years ago and thought their drinks were just okay, but I'm glad I gave it another shot. We got their passion fruit green tea and Thai iced tea, both 30% sugar and light ice. The Thai iced tea has that nice toasty flavor and is suuuuper easy to drink and their passion fruit is so refreshing. What stands out to me the most is their BOBA!!!!! It has the perfect chew imo and the drink to boba ratio is very balanced. I would just eat a full cup of their boba if I could (I shouldn't). Aside from their yummy drinks, the people working there are always friendly and the store is very clean! Just be aware that parking can be a challenge and that there are no tables and chairs. Total: ~$13-14 for 2 drinks

I saw their banner for bingsu and promised my daughter that for helping me with some errands. When we got in, I saw they only had it available for order after 6 but the staff was kind enough to offer making it for us anyways! Much appreciated as they definitely went out of their way to make our day! The store is a couple benches seating and ordering appears to be kiosk first but staff are happy to help. They have lots of cute trinkets, stuffies for sale and claw machines to play while waiting which was a nice touch. The store feels clean and bright, not stuffy or sticky like many bbt places. As for the bingsu, it was very good!! They packed it up with a pull tab can lid and was still cold when we got home. Loaded with all the toppings- fruit, egg pudding, red bean, herbal jelly, all the Asian dessert yums. Will be back!!

My kids are big into Molly Tea as they feel their teas are more authentic and flavorful, along with their natural ingredients. I would tend to agree - Molly Tea offers a diverse menu featuring signature jasmine milk teas, specialty milk teas, fruit and floral infusions, brown sugar drinks, and non-dairy options, all customizable for sugar and ice levels. In summary, you can order pretty much anything the way YOU like it. My go-to's are the jasmine-infused milk teas, which is what Molly Tea is renowned for, especially the classic (jasmine milk tea). Lots of tea and boba tea places to choose from in the DT SM area, but you can't go wrong with Molly Tea (provided the lines are not too long when you visit!)

I had to have tried the "wrong" drink because it was honestly disgusting. My experience was…read morelackluster. I had the pistachio jasmine coco and i usually like all, but that combination did not work for me. I actually had no issues with the staff as they were great. Clean place and fairly quick. Now the customers... literally are the reason I would not go back unless someone paid for my drink to try something new. There was a decent line and everyone was tightly packed like sardines. I'm an extremely patient person (clearly enough to check out popular places like so) but it gets to a point where I am wondering if you want to be IN MY SKIN? Give space, you won't lose your line! After ordering, I happened to sit outside since the shop is tiny and the people who ordered before me happened to wait in front me-- blabbing. Blabbing about their jobs, salary, tech, tech, tech, obnoxiously loud. Almost as if they wanted others to know the internships and job they scored. Whatever-- but THE AUDACITY to make sly comments about the workers and laugh about how they weren't tipping them because they get paid to do that. I'm not one to pocket watch, but right after you brag about the money you make? Enough for me not to come back as that is not a welcoming environment I care to be a part of.

I remember having a good…read moreexperience with Tea Hut SF years ago (before I became Yelp Elite), and saw that San Carlos had a location as well. The shop itself is small, and there is only one ordering kiosk. There are no bathrooms available, but the singular staff member told me that I could use the bathrooms at Peet's next door. There's not much in terms of ambiance, as it seems that it's expected you take your drink to go. I went with the jasmine matcha. I liked that there was an option for oat milk without any surcharge. Even though there was only one worker, my drink was made quickly. However, it was also the middle of the day on a weekday, so I was one of only two patrons. I'm not sure what matcha they use at Tea Hut, but I liked the flavor, and the jasmine tea was nice and florally too. Overall it was a well-balanced drink and quite refreshing for the unseasonably warm March day. I will be back to try other drinks if I'm ever in the area again.
