I don't remember the last time I got tpumps :o Super nostalgic. Came here on a Wednesday night after dinner and it wasn't busy inside. We ordered on the kiosk and it was made quickly. I got the hi chew drink with boba at 50% sugar. Before I got 100% sweet but it was too much and this was just right. The boba here is so good and soft. I wish that they had a public restroom though :/

Peach rose green tea, peach black milk tea
Lillian Z.

Tpumps Tuesdays means a free upgrade to their biggest size, which is HUGE. Both drinks were $11 when in SF usually one (much smaller) drink would be that same price. Service was quick and there were a few seats inside. Both drinks were 75% and still a bit too sweet, will go for 50% next time.

Mango Black Milk Tea
James R.

Been coming here for years and it's still probably one of my favorite milk tea places and imo the only place that knows how to make a proper mango black milk tea. It's both sad and great to see that there is no longer long lines here as it was in the early days. I hope they still have enough business to stay afloat despite the influx of competition.

5/2/25 Todays drinks.

Quality/Quantity - My daughter has to have her "dessert" after dinner, after our dinner at Gao Viet Kitchen & Bar, see other review. Convenient walk over. Today we got the following: Two Black Oolong Iced Tea ($1 more for Oolong, premium tea). Iced Pumpbo. Teas brewed fresh daily. The honey boba and teas are made fresh daily. Prepackaged teas are also available. Catering, see website. Atmosphere - Small to-go business. Limited street parking, I usually park in the residential areas and walk here. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 9:30pm or 10pm. Service - Fast counter service. Price - $19. Owner Comment - Congrats on your 12+ years of success and with your 8+ locations.

rose peach green tea
Cami R.

Super quick service - love Tpumps and have been going to Tpumps for years but fell off for a bit... The peach rose green tea is always a classic for me! Only thing is I wish they had a better standard for sweetness levels!

Tpumps is unique because you can literally create your own boba flavor. While they do offer recommended drinks, the real fun is in making your own! You can choose up to three flavors, pick your tea base, milk option, sweetness level, and toppings. I got rose, lychee, and strawberry with green tea. Regular milk and regular sweetness! It was great. Their boba is on the chewier side, which I enjoyed. They usually have samples of the day for you to try, which is such a nice touch!

Coconut hazelnut with sago black milk tea
Susan B.

I was recommended this place for boba because you can customize the flavors. Looking at their menu, they do offer many different flavors. I decided on black milk tea, coconut and hazelnut. light sweetness with mini boba which were actually sago smh. I received my drink within couple minutes. The drink was super sweet and definitely artificial. I couldn't finish the drink. It's a cool concept to create your own flavors but it is not worth for me to come back here again.

First t pumps of the new year I personally had to try a new flavor I got the mango guava macadamia nut which was really good. Service here is always fast and reliable.

Pumbo Peach Mango green tea no topping
Keshneel K.

Every time I'm in the city, I make a quick stop at Tpumps! My go-to is the peach mango green tea--so refreshing. The staff is always friendly, and the service is great.

With so many milk tea / boba options available in the area, I personally always come back to Tpumps. It's such a nostalgic, "trashy" boba spot -- I say trashy in a loving way. It's the flavor I'm craving when I haven't had a solid boba in a while. No frills, just a bunch of flavor options you can mix and match between. On Tuesdays you get to upgrade to the larger size for free!

If you're a fan of chewy boba and quick service, Tpumps is a must-visit! Their boba is always perfectly soft and chewy, just the way it should be. The menu offers a wide variety of flavors, so whether you're into fruity teas or creamy milk teas, you're sure to find a flavor that hits the spot. I've never had to wait long for my order, which is a huge plus when you're craving boba in a hurry especially when in a busy city like San Francisco. Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for great boba with speedy service to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings!

Ask the Community - Tpumps

Hi, if I place an order through postmates or DoorDash and add a note to upgrade to PumpBo since it's Tuesday, is it free?

No, Tpumps doesn't not work with neither of them. Postmates driver will have to physically place an order and wait until they prepare it. Postmates charges fixed price so it depends on the driver if he will want to upgrade it

Is it open now?

They're not yet. I passed by & they were still locked up

When is tpumps day?

Every Tuesday is a free upgrade from Tpumps size to pumpbo size.

Does your boba contain gelatin?

Yes it does

Is Tpumps open? On google it says they are open already?

Tpumps SF is planning to reopen mid-to-late first quarter of 2019. We apologize, we ran into unexpected delays during the renovation process. We will announce a solid date when the store is closer to completion.… Read more

Is this place closed?

Just opened! This past Sunday was the first day open again

Any decaf options?? Thanks in advance

Yep! Non caffeinated teas

Do they have a regular milk tea?

Yes, you can order green milk tea or black milk tea without any of the extra flavors.

One of my former best friends, Thomas, was actually the one who introduced me to this place years…read moreago. The funny part? He low-key had a crush on one of the employees, so naturally he started bringing the entire friend group here. Looking back, it was basically a long-term marketing campaign disguised as friendship. Every visit felt less like getting drinks and more like him trying to impress his girl. XD The owner has probably seen the whole saga unfold from beginning to end and is still here doing what they've always done - running a great local business. That's honestly something I respect. Businesses come and go, trends come and go, friendships come and go, but some places just keep showing up every day and serving their community. To this day, I still stop by for their watermelon juice. Sure, I could make it at home for less money, but sometimes that's not the point. Basic economics: support local businesses that provide value. They earn a living, customers get products they enjoy, employees keep their jobs, and the community benefits. Everyone wins. The watermelon juice is refreshing, the memories are hilarious, and it's always nice supporting a local establishment that's been around long enough to witness entire character-development arcs. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards.

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.

It took a while to get our drinks even though it didn't seem busy, but at least when our drinks were ready, the employee served them graciously.

There is some seating inside to hang out with friends while enjoying boba, but it is a bit cramp inside. Not much service - the employees do not really pay attention to you, so you may be waiting a good 10 minutes before they take your order, so I recommend ordering online. I ordered a Purple Kow Milk Tea with boba and grass jelly. The milk tea tasted a bit sour like an aftertaste, so that was a bummer. For about $9 for that size, it would had definitely been worth it, if the drink was good or even decent. Also, I ordered online and it still took almost half an hour to get just 1 drink.

As a self-proclaimed guava connoisseur, I'm usually turned off by artificial guava flavoring, but this tasted incredibly fresh and natural. The guava was perfectly balanced with the floral jasmine tea, making it both refreshing and dangerously addictive. In fact, I had it three days in a row. No regrets. I also tried the Oolong Tea with Yuzu Cream, and the experience was just as memorable as the drink itself. The staff called me up when my order was ready and explained that they wait until customers arrive before finishing the drink because they freshly shave the yuzu on top. It felt like a mini show and made the experience so much more fun. I can totally see why it's become popular on social media--it's one of those little moments that makes the drink feel special. The tea itself was surprisingly strong too--it definitely gave me a caffeine boost and even kept me up one night!

There's a tablet off to the side that you can use to order your drinks. If the line gets too long, a cashier tends to jump in to help with orders.

Overall, I think the experience is decent if you order ahead. It seems less worth it when there's a long wait. There's also not a lot of seats inside so it feels more of a order and go kind of place.
