    Boba
    Jim N.

    Very nice bubble tea shop. Prices are very reasonable and you can vary your sugar, which I love. Service was friendly and fast. The bobas were chewy and firm. The tea was good.

    I walked by this drink shop on Broadway and looked inside and the menu seemed pretty good. The prices were pretty good. Prices start around $6. I ordered the Dragon fruit Snow. It has a good texture was good, natural, and smooth. Feels refreshing as I drink it. The decor is nice and chill feeling.

    Lots of variety. Good quality and prices are reasonable service is good. Indoor seating only. Near gate of Chinatown.

    Great boba!! Conveniently located near great food spots in Chinatown too. A lot of seating and interesting decorations, this is a good rest spot after a good meal in Chinatown.

    matcha with puff cream
    Irena S.

    Have always loved this place, but was in Chinatown this past week and had to revisit after getting dim sum with the fam. My go to is always the iced matcha latte with puff cream, no toppings. Also I usually do 50% sweetness because the puff cream is pretty sweet. Drinks are usually $6 each ish. Pros: - really delicious drink, love the puff cream since it's kind of unique compared to other boba places - quick service - has seating inside - I feel like the pricing is fair - Close to a lot of dim sum places - Casual vibes, you can sit and study/chat Cons: - parking can be tricky in this part of SF.

    Tarot oat milk with boba pearls

    We were craving boba drinks when we were in the city and came across this great place. Found on Yelp of course! Delicious tarot bobas, affordably priced, and you can get them in either soy or oat milk instead of regular milk which is wonderful.

    Decided to finally try out Tancca after walking past it several times and did not regret it! Service was friendly and fast, there tends to be less people in this area compared to the rest of Chinatown. This is what my friend and I ordered: (8/10) White peach milk tea w/ puff cream, 30% sugar, large iced - definitely has the peach tea flavor, a large helping of puff cream on the side of the cup and on top of the drink. (7/10) Osmanthus oolong milk tea w/ boba, regular sugar, large iced - both my friend and I prefer less sugar but he forgot to adjust sugar levels, so it was a bit too sweet. The floral tea is pretty good otherwise. Boba is just okay (wasn't the chewiest) and personally felt like too much boba. They have both plastic and bamboo(?) straws. Prices are reasonable, paid $6.50 for my drink. They also have a loyalty program. The inside is way more spacious than it looks on the outside and there are plenty of tables and outlets for those that want to work in a cafe. It's is really nicely decorated with art and stickers, and they also sell pins from small artists. I will come again next time to try some of the other drinks!

    If you want a solid and affordable milk tea, I would recommend giving Tancca a try! The tea flavor isn't super strong, but for the price and overall taste, I would go again if I was near the area. We were pleasantly surprised by the boba, though (again adding to the overall solid experience). There is a lot of seating inside and we loved the interior. It's a great place to chat with a friend especially if you get some bakery items at the nearby bakery.

    The snowy drinks + puff cream is my new addiction. Perfect balance of a lightly sweet + salty. Red bean is my favorite so far, but the mango is quite delicious, too.

    One of my favorite boba places because it's cheaper than some of the other places in the area and the portions are bigger too! Service is good. Decor is minimal but cute. There's free wifi and quite a few tables if you want to sit, chat, chill, read, or work. Drinks are good and fresh, I like the consistency of the bubbles too.

    Jeni K.

    The boba is absolutely delicious and prepared to order! Fast and kind service! The cafe is clean and has plenty of art inside to purchase and take fun photos!

    snowy passion fruit with boba
    Thien H.

    Tancca feels like a hidden gem to me. There's plenty of seating, and they have an easily accessible bathroom... in Chinatown which is a big win so I've upgraded it from a 4 to a 5 star. I really wish they would add better ventilation or a big fan to their bathroom though. I've only ever gotten their passion fruit blended smoothie with boba. It's delightful and refreshing. Sorry I don't drink much tea due to the caffeine so I can't speak to the quality of their milk tea. They have a bunch of those big stainless steel tea things so it seems like they take tea pretty seriously.

    Thai tea with boba

    DO NOT PAY FOR DELIVERY…read more We paid extra to have our order delivered to our hotel and used the restaurant's order-ahead option. We scheduled the delivery for 9:20 a.m., but by 8:40 a.m. the app showed it had already been delivered. The problem? There was no food at our hotel room. I tried contacting the delivery driver by text, but never received a response. It was incredibly frustrating, especially after leaving a generous tip. We later found out the driver had left the food at the hotel but never told the front desk which room it was for, even though they had all of the delivery information. As a result, our food just sat there until we eventually had to go down and get it ourselves. In the end, I paid for a delivery service that I never actually received. Instead of enjoying the convenience we paid for, we had to track down our own order. Based on this experience, I would not recommend paying for delivery. If you're ordering from this restaurant, save your money and pick it up yourself. I paid for a service, but I did not receive what I paid for. Then to make it worse the breakfast sandwich was just OK. Nothing to write home to mom about. To say the least we will not be ordering her again and would not recommend this restaurant.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.
