This is literally my favorite boba spot in SF, with an arguably close second of Quaters/Momo Tea. Their tea taste is very floral, fragrant, and fresh without a hint of bitterness or processed tea taste. Parking can get tough in the area, and wait times may be longer than expected if there is a small line. I ordered a camelia milk tea with tea and lychee jelly, and it's probably one of the most floral teas I've had, arguably on par with molly tea. I found 75% sweetness to be perfect read more

The order kiosk was not operating. The boba was not acceptable, taro was a big gluey chunks. Tea tastes water down. They were out of egg waffles and other drinks. The person working there wasn't happy to be there. She seemed way too stressed out. I like ambiance, the small plant pots that the sell for $1. I think the personal touches that the owner has put into it including and the lucky cat gifting candies. read more

Stopped into YY Coffee and Milk Tea on Ocean Ave the other day, and it was exactly what I needed. I had just finished getting my blood drawn nearby and was feeling a bit sluggish, so I grabbed a Coffee Latte. It was the perfect pick-me-up: smooth, rich, and just the right strength to wake me up and get me back on track. The shop has a great vibe, and the service was quick, which I really appreciated. If you're in the neighborhood and need a high-quality caffeine fix or a spot to recharge, this is definitely the place to go. I'll be back to try the milk tea next time! Tip: It's a solid local gem if you're looking to avoid the bigger chains and want something that hits the spot. read more

Dropped into YY COFFEE & TEA on Ocean Avenue, off 19th Avenue while running errands. Cute little coffee and espresso drinks, juices and sodas, with some snacks. Some bar seating along the wall, more of a take and go place. One person handling everything, she was very nice and friendly. Opted for a CAPPUCCINO that was hot, fragrant, hit the spot! I'll be back when in the neighborhood. read more

I ordered a passionfruit pineapple bubble tea from the in-store kiosk for a hit of caffeine before brunch, or technically, lunch. I opted for 25% ice and 50% sweetness, but it was actually too sweet. I think 25% sweetness would've been plenty for this drink. Good to note for next time. Service was pretty efficient even with only one person working the counter. The store was small but warm and cozy. read more

YY Coffee & Tea - F10. Passion Fruit Pineapple Four Season Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

The Crème Brûlée Boba Milk Tea is a standout, easily ranking in the top 10 for its category. While the fruit smoothies are made fresh, the Avocado Smoothie hit a bit of a snag with a 6/10 rating, as the ice-to-fruit ratio was a bit high, masking the avocado flavor. It is a small, cozy, and clean shop. The inclusion of a small sofa adds a nice touch, making it a comfortable spot to tuck away and enjoy a drink. The service is professional, though it's important to note that during busy hours, there is often only one person crafting the drinks. A little patience goes a long way here. If you are after a premium milk tea experience at a reasonable price, YY Coffee & Tea is well worth the visit--especially for that Crème Brûlée Boba. While the avocado smoothie could use a bit more creaminess and less ice, the overall quality and professional service make this a local spot worth supporting. Perfect for a quiet tea break! read more

I was craving milk tea after taking a Pilates class in the area, and stopped by. This place is really cute! Located in an area with metered parking, seems like a nice local spot. My drink didn't take too long once I ordered! I ordered the Osmanthus Coconut Rice Milk Tea, and unfortunately I didn't like it. Too floral for me, I should've went with a regular milk tea or tried their fruit drinks. I'd love to come back to try something else! read more

The interior is so cute--love the bar stools, the logo on the wall, and all the little figurines everywhere! I used their tablet to order the mango coconut with jasmine tea, and it was delicious. The mix of sago balls, coconut jelly, and mango puree was spot on. Plus, there's plenty of parking right outside! The server was nice when giving my drink. read more

I was in the area and after my class, popped in to try their Hong Kong style milk tea. It's one price $6.75. My receipt says with boba but I didn't want any and still the price was the same. The drink was good. I wish there was an option to cut down on the sugar which wasn't too sweet but I wanted less sugar. Might try another drink next time and if they're going to charge me for the boba anyways, I'm going to add it . Their menu online says without boba $6.25 but she charged me $6.75. Watch out for the over charges. read more

I dropped by for an after-lunch drink and got the creme brûlée mango pomelo sago. There were only three other people's orders ahead of me so I waited less than ten minutes. I was slightly disappointed by the drink because I could only taste mango and sweet milk, but no pomelo flavor. Also, the sago was a bit hard instead of chewy and bouncy. I'd come back to try out their tea drinks, hoping those might be more their specialty! read more

We tried the Taro and watermelon bobas. They are heavy on the fruit, without the tapioca pearls, so a different kind of boba. It's a tiny little place where we actually sat and drank our bobas, but we were probably the only people to do that in years. read more

Me and my friend ordered Summer Peach Peach (I think) and my friend added lychee jelly to hers. I ordered on Kiosk, but the ladies were super nice! It's an extremely cozy little space with plenty of options to choose from, foods and drinks. The drink was delicious! It tastes just like peach. But since it was a really hot day, the slush melted pretty quickly... Still tasted good though of course. The peach jelly was super soft and was very subtle. I maybe would substitute it though with lychee jelly because I like the crunch. And the whole peach... I didn't realize it was a peach for a while, but in my opinion I didn't think it tasted like a peach. I thought it was maybe pudding at first But it's so hard to describe what it tasted like... My favorite was the whipped cream on top. I thought it perfectly paired the peach slushie. Definitely would come back but I want to try more different things. I would totally recommend Summer Peach Peach (I think) to anybody who LOVESSS peaches, like me and my friend (It's her favorite drink). read more

While YY might not be the best boba shop around, I do like their extensive menu, toppings, and non-caffeinated drink options. They have a good selection of different teas, along with fruit flavors and unique Asian toppings like mini taro ball, popping water nut, popping barley, purple rice that you don't often find as other boba shops. Service is always friendly at this small mom and pop shop so I do appreciate supporting local businesses. They have a nice snack menu too for those that go to school or tutoring near by. Consistency can sometimes be hit or missed in terms of their boba. I have had some that are nice and chewy and a couple of times where it was undercooked. Overall, it's not a deal breaker and if you like variety, this is a good shop that comes to mind whenever you're around Ocean Ave. read more

My dad came across this place on TGTG and wanted to try it out! When we arrived, the drinks were made fresh. We ended up getting a thai tea and a peach oolong milk tea. The thai tea was pretty strong and had good flavor but the peach oolong tea flavor was a bit lighter. The surprise bag was $5 for 2 drinks so overall pretty worth it. Drinks were decent but i've had better. Service was great, she was quick with making the drinks and the shop was cute, but a little small. read more

Stopped by YY Coffee & Milk Tea to try their Hong Kong-style lemon black tea, but was pretty disappointed. Instead of lemons, they used limes, which gave the drink a bitter, off-tasting flavor that wasn't anything like classic HK lemon tea. The tea itself was strong, but the balance just wasn't there. That said, they do have a huge menu with tons of options, so maybe I just picked the wrong drink. I might come back to try something else, but if you're looking for authentic HK lemon tea, this might not be the place. only one worker but good service! cute vibe. read more

I came here for the first time because I used too good to go to get random drinks and I was not disappointed. I've been using the too good to go app and I've come back here multiple times to try different drinks and I have yet to be disappointed. One thing that I do like is the drinks come unsweetened or lightly sweetened so I can add more sweetness at home if I would like. The staff there is always friendly and helpful. This spot is a small hole in the wall gem on Ocean Avenue. read more

Lovely boba shop on Ocean!! They offer a large variety of drinks. My favorites are the summer peach peach and osmanthus coco oolong milk tea with glutinous rice. We also tried their taro milk tea, but their taro flavor was not as strong as we preferred. Service is quick (about 5 min) and staff were kind. They offer a stamp card promotion for any regular customers, which is 9 drinks for 1 free drink. Indoor seating is limited so would definitely plan on taking your order to-go! read more

Pretty good & cozy boba. Service was quick. Had the oreo milktea and there were plenty of oreo bits!

Small coffee and milk tea shop on Ocean Avenue. Kiosk ordering available. Lots of milk tea (hot/iced), fruit teas, and coffee options. We tried crème brûlée brown sugar slush with boba, Thai tea with boba, and milk tea with boba. All were just ok. Boba was a bit too firm. We were part of a larger order it took awhile. Memberships available. Might make more sense if we lived in the area. read more

Recently tried their Ceylon Milk Tea with Ferrero Chocolate. A candy wrapper must've got blended into the drink because each sip came up with pieces of plastic-y paper. I honestly tried sipping several, several times and each time I had bits of plastic mixed in. Finally just poured the drink away and saw many more pieces of wrapper. Average taste, but quality sorely lacking. read more

My Cup of Tea has some serious competition! We came by on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty empty. We were the only ones in the shop for about 2 minutes before a small line began to form. Since this was my first time, I decided to defer to their Top Ten drinks and got the "Belgium Biscuit Brown Sugar Milk Tea". I honestly think the Belgium biscuit is similar to a Bischoff but didn't want to give a brand to them. It was really good! I really enjoyed my drink. Perfectly sweet for me (got 100% sweet) but honestly, I think you need to get 100% ice which is something I never really suggest but their boba is FRESH and HOT! Instantly melted my ice LOL. Their boba is nice and chewy, has a great QQ to it. There is QUITE a bit of boba so the ratio is a bit off BUT I didn't super mind it. It was nice and creamy but more sweet than it was a "milk tea" where they tend to be a bit bitter. Can't wait to come back and try their other drinks! read more

10/10 highly recommend! I frequently visit YY and enjoy their fruit teas. The flavors are consistently refreshing and well-balanced, even when I ask for no sugar. The shop has a nice atmosphere, and the staff is friendly. Overall, the drinks are really great, and the customization options let you tailor them perfectly to your taste read more

I had a pleasant experience going to YY Coffee & Tea in my most recent visit. I felt bad being THAT customer that came in 10 minutes before closing which is a pain I felt before. Still the service was still good and the ordering process is easy since they have a kiosk at the entrance. The inside is really cozy and well decorated. I ordered the Belgian Biscuit Brown Sugar Milk Tea w/ Boba ($6.50). This drink was pretty sweet at 75%, but to be fair thats my fault for choosing a brown sugar drink and getting it at a higher sweetness. The drink was still good and the belgian biscuit really does have an affect on the flavor of the drink. They have a lot more unique drinks than this on their menu so I would have to try the rest of their menu to really get a better feel of this boba shop. I liked the flavor of the tea here and it did not taste watered down at all. I'm definitely coming back again to try what else they have to offer and it is located in a convenient location surrounded by plenty of good restaurants. Street parking isn't too bad especially on weekdays regardless of the time. read more

4.5 STARS Persimmon season is like pumpkin spice season for ABGs and AZN aunties. Yet, few places incorporate persimmons into their menu. YY Coffee & Milk Tea opened in August 2023. I've lost track but they're the third or fourth boba shop to open in this location since the pandemic. I happen to be browsing through menus when YY Coffee & Milk Tea caught my attention....Persimmon Coconut Milk Smoothie! I believe this may be only place in the city where you'll find a persimmon based drink. Otherwise, you'll have to trek to one of the Tong Sui locations in the Peninsula & South Bay for seasonal persimmon drinks and desserts. They're open everyday starting at 8:30 AM (!) for takeout and delivery. And, they're on bunch of apps: DoorDash, UberEats, Fantuan, HungryPanda, etc. Not on Snackpass tho. They're short-staffed with only person working so I highly recommend ordering ahead. MealKeyway seems to the only one with no upcharges. M E N U Aside from the usual milk tea, brown sugar, fruit tea series, they have some unique offerings like ovaltine, fruit coffee lattes (hello, durian!), and seasonal specials like the persimmon coconut milk smoothie. For those with a sweet tooth, they have decadent drinks with crème brûlée tops or a ferrero rocher milk tea. Affordable prices: $3.75-$6.25. No dairy alternatives. Toppings: boba, taro balls, grass jelly, red bean, purple rice, sea salt foam, barley boba, oats, etc. (50 cents each). You'll have to call to confirm but I believe boba is available *after* 11 am. Suggestion to owner: List ingredients in the kiosk menu and online menus. And, denote non-caffeinated items. D R I N K * Persimmon Coconut Milk Smoothie ($5.95) --Requested 25% sweet Creamy smooth and frothy with fresh, ripen persimmons adding a mild sweetness and cinnamon undertones. Not stated on the menu but there were coconut jellies which were sweet but not too sweet with a chewy QQ bite. I thought it was a non-caffeinated drink but I tasted a hint of floral bitterness. Not sure if there was a splash of jasmine tea? 25% sweet was perfect...it was a refreshing drink but not sweet to the point, it was dessert-like. Some shops are charging $7.95 for similar drinks so this was a good value. * Cherry Green Tea ($5.95) --Requested 75% sweet I bought this for a friend who likes sweet(er) drinks and they liked it just fine. S E R V I C E Contactless ordering via one kiosk. When I visited there was no line (weekday around 2:30 pm) so my drinks were ready in about 10-12 minutes. A M B I A N C E Compact space with pencil drawn anime mural and knick knacks throughout. Mainly a takeout shop but there's several stools available. P A R K I N G Easy metered and residential parking. Overall, I know I only tried one drink but the persimmon coconut milk smoothie was hella solid and something I would order regularly order. Not sure how long it will be available so if you're a persimmon lover too, hit up YY Coffee & Milk Tea! read more

June 28, 2025 saturday 2pm. Wanted to have a refreshing drink after lunch. There was only one guy at the counter and he was super slow. 30 plus minutes to make 2 drinks.

I noticed there was a new boba/coffee shop in my neighborhood so I had to check this place out! I've only been here for coffee, so I can only attest to their coffee. Inside there is a kiosk that you can order from, but you can also order at the cash register. I've only came here in the morning so it wasn't too busy! The inside is small but very cozy. There is only a couple of bar stool seat facing a wall so do not expect to hang out here with a large group of people. I went here a couple times and I've tried the Coconut Iced Latte, Ovaltine coffee Latte, and the Jasmine Green Tea Coffee Latte with Oat milk. You have an option to adjust your sweetest and ice level. All their drinks were great and not too sweet (the highest form of asian compliment). My favorite is definitely the Coconut Iced Latte which uses coconut milk so it is lactose intolerant friendly! The coconut flavor was perfect where you don't think it's too overpowering but also strong enough to taste it! This place might be my new go to coffee shop! The service was also pretty good and the drinks are great but it is pretty pricey. read more
