    Summer Peach Peach (I think...) One with added lychee jelly +Mona Lisa
    Gwyneth C.

    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).

    Mango coconut jasmine tea

    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.

    Nice menu with good variety. Was greeted quickly and service was fast too. Parking can be a little challenging.

    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.

    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!

    Creme brûlée mango pomelo sago
    Ellen L.

    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!

    Cherry Green Tea with Popping Boba + Thai Tea with Boba
    Janetto L.

    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.

    I've ordered drinks from here many times because they are on the Hungry Panda App that gives you discounts for this place. They have 0.99 deals sometimes too, look at my photo! The drinks are well made and I love the cute sleeves they use lol. I'm a sucker for cute packaging

    This place is awesome. The boba selection is just authentically good. They're friendly and quick. There's a few seats and paid parking in front. It's right off 19th Avenue.

    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.

    hk lemon black tea
    Christina C.

    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.

    Cute little boba shop, perfect for the neighborhood. The drinks were decent, I liked the mochi in my drink it was a fun texture. The crème brûlée drink was ok, needed more crunchy sugar.

    Selina C.

    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!

    I stumbled across Ballast Coffee while looking for a cute cafe to study at close to SFSU. Ballast…read moreCoffee was the perfect place to go to because it is less than 10 minutes away and has a lot of street parking available (which is rare in SF lol). Like everywhere else in SF, you have to pay for street parking but it's free after 6pm! The vibes inside are of a typical coffee shop and there is a good amount of tables and seats! The barista makes each drink one at a time, so it could take a while to order and get your drinks, but it just shows that they are very intentional with their drinks! I was super excited to find out that Ballast Coffee is actually a Filipino coffee shop that serves Barako Coffee, which I believe they source from the Philippines. They also sell barako bean roast blends for $20 in case you wanted to make it at home! Since they use Filipino barako beans, I had to order their Ube iced latte and Ube hot chocolate! The coffee had a slightly fruity yet chocolatey undertone that made it really delicious with the Ube! I do think that the coffee had a lighter taste to it, so it let the ube taste stand out more. My favorite was the Ube hot chocolate because it was super decadent and warming! I'll definitely be back at Ballast Coffee to study more and to also try their Ube Mocha as well as other drinks!

I've introduced so many friends to the hojicha einspanner and everyone loves it too! Even though Diamond has multiple locations, this is the only one that serves hojicha. I hope the other locations will add hojicha to their menus too. But what stands out the most to me is the einspanner. It's unbelievably yummy; it's thick, fluffy, and tastes like marshmallows! I could honestly eat a whole bucket of it! The hojicha itself is a little on the lighter side, but it still has a delicious nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the einspanner. Once it's all mixed together, the balance of nuttiness and sweetness is perfect. The space is super cute and has a cozy camping theme. Most of the seating consists of camping chairs and tables that really tie into the aesthetic, so there are only a few tables that are ideal for studying or getting work done. It's definitely a fun spot to hang out and catch up with friends. I also love all the little tributes to the owners' dog, Diamond. You'll find little touches of Diamond everywhere--from the napkins and cup holders to the free stickers. I highly recommend stopping by and trying the hojicha eispanner. It's the reason I keep coming back! (My brother got the matcha einspanner but idk what he thought of it)
