We had just come out of MOMA and the post-museum lethargy was kicking in, so had the wild thought of injecting myself with some caffeine and boba instead of the classic milk tea approach (bad choice). I ordered the coffee flavored tea with boba and it tasted like seaweed. Like the type of seaweed you would use to make sushi, the type of seaweed you get in dry-roasted snack form at Costco. read more

I love their boba!! Very wide selection and very kind staff. At the moment there is no chash sue to covid.

Drinks are very good but they're not accepting cash. -2 stars because cashless payments will make you feel guilty about not tipping and the "no tip" option isn't the first thing you see when the payment is processing.... read more

Boba, bubble tea, yum yum yum. It's hard to find places that do boba justice, especially coming back from a trip to the motherland of boba itself, Taiwan. In any case, Sharetea has an excellent execution. The milk tea is on point, tastes fresh, and just creamy enough. You can control the sweetness level (I recommend LESS sweet on all orders, unless you enjoy sweet drinks), and the boba is chewy, yet soft. They have many flavors to choose from, but don't be intimidated! Hone your choice down based on categories (milk tea, juice, etc) and pick the first thing that makes you go "ooooh" You'll enjoy it, I swear! read more

Great bubble tea (boba)! They got the sweetness and ice customization that other boba places have. One thing that makes them stand out is the variety of toppings they got (ie pudding, ice cream, coffee jelly is not common). One bonus is that they are located right under amc so enjoying a movie with boba is very nice! read more

Sharetea - Mango passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly! (In a festive cup!) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Being the only place in the metreon food court that specializes in drinks, the line can get pretty long here. However, they are lightning fast with many workers running about in the little space they have. And usually I would associate such rapidness and hecticness with bad service and quality, but I am surprised with their friendliness and great service. The location of this Sharetea is a big plus as well, being in the middle of many businesses and tourist attractions. It's simply convenient. My only con about this Sharetea is that the boba can be a bit inconsistent at times, but it's never bad by any means. I would recommend the Okinawa milk tea and the Passionfruit green tea if it's your first time having Sharetea. read more

Solid bubble tea place if you are in the mood for a nice treat. Have tried both their milk and fruit based teas and they have always been delicious. I would recommend getting at least half sugar, as it can be sweet. Also don't forget to add tapioca. read more

Convenient location in the Metreon. I've been here twice in the past week, tried the Taro Milk Tea as well as the Okinawa Milk Tea. The boba here is good, and the drinks are solid. Nothing out of the ordinary, but solid. My only complaint would be that the drinks are quite pricey, around $5 a drink. I'm from the San Gabriel Valley where cheap good boba is plentiful, so that was a bit of a disappointment. read more

I wanted to order a choco ice blended drink with cereal which was advertised in a photo that they displayed in a frame, when I went to order it the lady working there said that they don't serve that anymore... then why are they even advertising it? Anyway, I ended up getting a coffee milk tea which is my usual Sharetea order. It was good and has a nice coffee taste without giving you bad breath like the other locations make it LOL read more

Busy Sharetea in the afternoons, but the quality is top notch! Being located in the FiDi/SoMa neighborhood and especially in the Metreon, this Sharetea gets a lot of customers. My coworkers and I usually like to stop by for our afternoon break and we usually have to wait in line for 5-10 minutes. I'm a big fan of their Okinawa tea and well as their fresh taro milk. As is typical with boba places now, you can choose how sweet you want your drink, so always start with 50% sweet and calibrate from there. (80%, I've heard, will give you a headache) read more

This share tea is located conveniently underneath the movie theatre. The taro flavour of the taro milk tea was rich at first but eventually waters down due to the ice. read more

Sharetea - Taro milk tea with tapioca - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

After what I experienced at the Westfield location, I figure I'd stick to the Metreon branch. Little did I know negligence knows no boundaries amidst these two branches: my Westfield branch review: https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=CxjrgR2jhs2BNAMELj4p1w After speaking to the Manager at this location and expressing my horrid experience at Westfield, he was very receptive to and understanding of my disgust. He also ensured me at the Metreon, he insists all employees uphold sanitation/health protocols. In response, he made me a complimentary tea. As I watched him in action, I noted how he didn't shove his hand in the garbage like the Westfield employee. I made a decision afterwards to order strictly from here. Later the following week, I returned. I ordered my usual. With the trauma from Westfield still fresh in mind, I stepped aside and closely monitored their preparation. The Manager wasn't there this day. To my surprise and disappointment, a team member shoved her hand into the trash bin to make room and returned to her duties without washing her hands. Damn it! My stomach just sank. Sadly, the negligence didn't end there. That same employee then pulled two handfuls of straws to restock the counter's supplies. Witnessing this and being handed my order shortly afterwards, I looked at her and those straws with disgust. I took my drink by the top rims which she didn't touch. I left without taking a single straw. I know the straws are a part of the experience and help tremendously with ingestion but I figured I'd be better without it. I walked away and tried to grab a bag or tissue to hold the item so I wouldn't drop it on my way home. When I arrived, I held the cup with a paper towel and carefully poured the contents into a big cup of my own. Thanks kids, you've given me a good reason to save my money by NOT returning. read more

Don't get me wrong, I really like Sharetea; however, I've found that the drinks at this location are sort of a hit or miss. Some days the drinks are spot on, while other times they taste watered down, with hardly any flavor. Usually the drinks are off when the lines are extremely overbearing. Understandable, but disappointing. When the drinks are made well, my favorites are the hot taro with boba and the peach tea creama. I enjoy coming to Sharetea when I'm looking for more of a dessert drink. If I'm looking for a higher quality tea, I'll go up the street to Boba Guys. read more

Would be five stars if it weren't for the steep price, higher than most other boba places. Would highly recommend their fresca version with fresh milk! read more

Share tea at this location?? What what? I work on Union Square and usually get my boba fix at Cafe Central nearby. Heard this place opened and decided to give it a try. Luckily for us, the line started again (again because we are number 98) after we put in our order. They were considerate enough to tell is it was gonna be a 15 minute wait so no complaints. read more

Sharetea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have been drinking boba milk tea since I was in high school. This sharetea has the best boba! Their boba is so chewy unlike others. The is a brand new sharetea station in San Francisco. They located in the first floor of the matreon building. Grab a milktea from share tea and go on the third floor for a movie. This is a great combo! They always have a long line so please be there a little bit early to get your drink before your movie starts. read more

Sharetea - Movie plus sharetea milktea is the best! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been going to the Richmond location nearly every other day and was really excited to learn that a Sharetea was opening much closer to home. However, after trying the Metreon location a couple times in the past week, I've decided that I rather go to the Richmond location. Here's why: This location is very new and the staff appear to be insufficiently trained and inefficient. During my first visit, the line to take orders wasn't bad (i.e. about 4 people ahead of me), but the line for picking up orders was massive. There was a large crowd, and approximately 16 orders ahead of me. Even with 4 employees making drinks, it still took about 35 minutes until my drink was ready. I glanced behind the counter a couple times and saw that two staff were just chatting with each other while partially making their drinks, and a third was just standing there. Not very efficient in my opinion. In comparison, the Richmond location has about the same number of people making drinks and they are fast. The drinks themselves were lighter in flavor than the Richmond location and tasted slightly watered down. On the bright side, hopefully this is all a reflection of a new location with new staff still coming up to speed. In all fairness, all the employees seemed really nice. I've also seen who I think is the location manager there training employees, so I'm sure through time they will improve. read more

Great selection of teas and milk teas! In saying that they don't have Thai iced tea which is a favorite. Ended up with the Taro pearl milk tea and it's not too sweet, I would recommend it! read more

I've tried all the boba shops around my workplace and Sharetea is my favorite. The handmade taro is so good and I am addicted to it! The taro texture combines with fresh milk is just delicious. Not only its made of handmade taro, but sharetea also uses organic milk, and thats doesnt happen in every boba shop. I havent had a chance to try their fruit tea, but the staff told me mango & passion fruit is one of their top sellers too. I would love to come again! read more

Sharetea - Handmade taro! So good! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

6/29/18 at 10:32pm, Order #62 If you're not satisfied with your drink or suspect that they got your order wrong, do NOT accept the drink and have them redo it. The girl lied to me that she added extra pudding in lieu of the boba and she said she was aware of the request. It wasn't until after I had left and tried my boba that there was little to close-to-no pudding in my cup... It was almost time for the store to close so I figured they didn't care... read more

Sharetea is definitely your typical boba place, but not on par with the new places popping up these days. It is definitely convenient when watching a movie at the Metreon since all other boba places are on Kearny, which can almost be a 10 minute walk. The choices they have seem a little random, with some just having too much stuff trying to get mixed in. We tried to handmade taro with fresh milk because only the fresh milk options allowed me to switch the dairy milk to almond milk (have lactose intolerance). However, I was really happy with the drink. It's strange that I can't do replacements for all the other options, so it limits my choices at this particular location. read more

Probably is the No.1 boba tea shop in San Francisco. Always have long line there, but you won't wait too long because they making drinks fast. Highly recommended who just pass by or someone wants to buy a drink before the movie start. read more

I just spent the better part of the day walking around a very busy, very blustery Market Street and was looking for an escape that could also quench my ever growing dehydration... I wandered into the Metreon, and decided a cold tea of some sort would be refreshing. The line was long, and the prices are a bit over the top (especially if you just want an iced tea), but the drinks are great. I got a honey-sweetened green iced tea, and it was perfect. Not too sweet, and very flavorful. I also was able to try a smaple of the regular Milk Tea, and it was yummy. Might get that next time. read more

The worst pearl milk tea I've had unfortunately. Having bad pearl milk tea for 3 dollars is one thing, but this place wasn't cheap, as I paid over 6 dollars for the family milk tea. The tea itself wasn't bad but the powder (guessing that it's taro powder? made it so unenjoyable. There's a lot of good milk tea in this city and this one isn't worth going to. read more

I love sharetea! I am a hard core fan of bubble tea. They get it just right and it made my day so much better. They get everything done right! They get the perfect amount of tapioca pearls. This us a place I will be going for a long time! read more

I'm torn. Having been here around 10x and tried multiple drinks, I've noticed a huge range of quality. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's very disappointing. The boba also ranges from overcooked (mush) to really nice. So, I've basically quit ordering anything with Boba, and stuck with the 2 drinks I like. 3 stars. read more

Finally a place to have real milk tea experiences in SOMA. Here you can order your drink with ice, less ice or no ice, and full sugar, half sugar, 30% sugar and no sugar! What a place for people on the diet! I got oolong crema without sugar nor ice. It reminded me of the same tea I had in Hong Kong, There will be always a line there but the line moves super fast. We actually didn't wait long to get our 6 cups of tea there. It's a good stop after movie or shopping in SOMA. read more

Sharetea - The line moves fast! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Visit the place once or twice a week cuz I can't live without milk tea!! Had sharetea way before they opened it here. The best one that I like is okinawa milk tea and I always do it 50% sweetness and less ice. The only one thing that I don't like is how people are crowded around the pick up and area and some of them just "wouldn't move" read more

Sharetea - Black sesame milk tea with grass jelly. A pretty weirdly good combination! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Whenever I go here there's a healthy line, but it's always worth it! The first time I ordered a drink here I was a little confused about all the options, but now it's ez pz. My boy xwan got me hooked on winter melon with fresh milk and 50% sugar. If you're looking for a refreshing drink, look no further. read more

My review is specific to my visit on Tuesday 5/22/18 at 8.30pm before going to the movies. There were 3 people working at the time. This location's hours is until 9.30pm. I've been here a few times before - it is not a place I go out of my way to get boba but I don't mind it either. I first ordered the Handmade Taro with fresh milk. The cashier said "uhh we already put all of the blenders away. I asked "Wait, the store is closed at 9.30 and you put the blenders away an hour before that?" The girl replied "Well it takes a really long time to clean up, so yea" ... I then ordered the matcha milk tea with white boba and soy and she said "oh we also already put those away." ... I was annoyed but settled for the regular boba. The drink itself was what I was expecting, but I paid over $6 for a drink I didn't even come here to get because the people working there wanted to get out of there as soon as 9.30 hits and packed up an hour before closing? I think this maybe specific to the group of people working that shift but either way, the owners should prevent this from happening because it really eliminates a big chunk of the menu. I honestly would not have even written this review if the girl didn't give off the "well it takes a really long time" attitude as if it was supposed to be what the customers have to worry about. read more

Milk tea was good, but service was horrible! I had Honey GREEN milk tea every time, and they always gave me honey Black milk tea. I can tell from the color, and they showed their upset and disrespectful.(especially a female clerk!) Feel sad! read more

I have tried other milk tea store before too. I've been here two times now. Drinks are a bit pricey but considering location , it kind of makes sense. First time , there was no problem with my drink. Today , bought my drink ( classic green milk tea with no boba) but just when I was about to finish it , my boyfriend noticed it had this weird white mixed with brown colored goo attached to top side of the cup. Okay ... That's kinda gross since I didn't know where it came from. Smelled like some dessert so might have been from some previous drink they were making and splashed onto mine. Still kind of ew to find something like that in your cup when you're expecting nothing but milk tea and ice in a clean plastic covered cup. I love milk tea from sharetea but this location seems eh. Plenty of other milk tea stores near downtown so it's not like this is the only place to get milk tea. Side note : They probably charge for having less ice since they have to put in more liquid so it looks like the normal amount to those with ice.. read more

Average Milk Tea, nothing special except its in a great location. I'm either watching a movie or running and errands in this area every week, so I'm a frequent visitor for a boba fix -- they recently raised prices so its ~$6 dollars for a bubble tea! What a rip off. I would rather walk 10 minutes and wait in line for Boba Guys. read more

This used to be a great place to go to but recently the workers have been rude and seem to rush people with their orders. Recently I've noticed they've been closing a few minutes early, I guess to avoid a line building up. This has started to become a great inconvenience. There is already little to no parking in the area, so to have paid for a parking spot or walked a few blocks to have the place be closed early is very frustrating. Especially seeing the cashier attending to a few customers and rudely telling me they are closed. I think I'll have to stop wasting my time trying. Other places exist. read more

I ordered the Tiger Milk Tea with boba, expecting it to be tiger milk tea and taste like it. I should've known when it didn't even look like the photo. It had 2 streaks of the brown sugar and the rest was all white. I took one sip and was disgusted. Other Tiger Milk teas don't taste as plain and horrid at this. It tasted like straight up milk and had a horrible aftertaste. When i went back to try to ask to exchange the drink for one of the same value, they refused saying I drank it. I ONLY tasted it in one sip. This is horrible customer service on their part. I didn't expect it to taste COMPLETELY different than what it is supposed to taste like. I'm unhappy with this sharetea location; the others always have good service and taste as should be. I will not be coming back. read more

One of my favorite spots to get boba drinks. Especially after walking my dog. It's hard to find places that allow dogs. The wait time is fast too. They always come up with unique flavors. I just found out they have ginger milk tea. They have cute light bulb bottles to. I forgot to mention you can customize your drinks to. I'm not a big fan of drinks that are too sweet. Ginger Milk Tea 5/5 They include fresh ginger not the fake ginger powder that most dessert places uses. It has a nice milk tea flavor. Service 5/5 When they notice there's a line, they added another cashier. Unlike most places , they only have one cashier. They have the five star rewards program for people who would like a free drink. I will definitely come back here again. I'm excited to see what flavors they come up with. Thanks for welcoming dog lovers. read more

My order was incorrect and had no boba in it. I don't like drinking my boba without the big balls. They already had charged me for it as well, not good unlike me. If a person had diabetes and you gave them a wrong order of sweetness, they could've died. read more

Happy QQ family is good but price is much expensive than others milk tea store and service is average.

I ordered an oolong milk tea with boba. The milk tea tasted a little watery which I think was because of a little bit too much ice. The actual boba was a little bit inconsistent. Some were hard in the middle and some were too soft and disintegrating around the sides. Not the greatest Sharetea but still hits the boba spot. read more
