The 14 Essential Boba Tea Shops in San Francisco Right Now | Eater SF

"Don’t let the stripped-down facade fool you — this Ocean Avenue shop is worth a visit. Most boba teas go for about $5 here, though the options are quite limited in comparison to some of the crazier competitors. A bonus of this westside option is the plethora of food available, however, including banh mi, pho, and vermicelli." - Paolo Bicchieri

Food was not great, the stars are for the atmosphere because it is a honestly a nice place to sit and hang out with people. But the food was not very good quality, especially for the price I expect better than this. I feel like their snack food is quite overpriced

I am extremely disappointed. The Grilled Beef Garlic Noodles were not good at all. They had zero flavor. The beef as well as the noodles were very chewy and dry. No garnish no sauce. Not to mention it was ice cold after a super long wait. Really took an hour and a half to make this? Wow. Save your time and money people.

Awesome place! I do love dropping by for a quick bite, the atmosphere is lovely. There's always some people in there, Mostly just on their computers and such, but other than that it's a calm mood also they have some reasonable prices for the food. 👌🏾 I recommend trying their matcha smoothie with sweet potato fries, change your life.

Opened until 12am, My Cup of Tea is convenient for those of us that takes naps and wake up late. The ladies that work here are fast. I only had to wait 15 minutes for my food after ordering at the counter. The chicken garlic noodles $13 are buttery and tasted good. I would have liked more garlic. This was still good because it wasn't salty. It could have benefited from chopped pickled green onions. The grilled pork vermicelli noodles $13 was fine. Both dishes are served in small take out containers. Minor stuff: - They don't give you a bag or napkins. - There are dorky, loud, male SFSU students playing their board games. - Homeless man sitting with his big plastic of clothes in the dining room. It kind of felt like a homeless shelter at 10:30pm. Tip: wifi password is the restaurant's name without the spaces.

UPDATE: I've been going here for a long time now and have noticed how much it has changed and how popular this boba shop has gotten now. I still appreciate the amount of space this place has and how clean it is too. Their food is really good! I was honestly quite skeptical of how their noodle soup would taste, but it's actually really tasty! I also typically order their pork banh mi. Usually the sandwiches are very stuffed, but I have gotten a few skimped out sandwiches before. For drinks, their oolong milk tea with boba is my go to drink. Their mango green tea is also really good. Their drink sizes are pretty big and the large should definitely be shared. Their boba quality is consistent and has really improved over time. Their prices have gone a bit higher, but I think it's worth it for the quantity and quality. I highly recommend ordering by phone because it can get quite busy! I've come here a few times. The sign is a little misleading, as it isn't really My Cup of Tea, but actually Cool Tea Bar. I liked that this place is open late, until midnight. It's really big inside, with lots of tables and free wifi, so I thought it would be an ideal place to study. I came around 9PM on a Tuesday and it was SO CROWDED. People were really loud and it was pretty hard to study. I assume a lot of students were here hanging out here since it's summer. Even after ordering, I noticed a lot of people still came inside. I ordered the pork banh mi and a mango slush. For $6, the banh mi was pretty cheap (definitely cheaper than dinosaurs up the street). However, it took 20 minutes to make. Thankfully, they didn't make the drink until the food was done, so the drink wasn't all melted. I got the drink 50% sweet, but it still seemed pretty sweet. The regular size is actually really big and the large size is definitely meant to be shared. The sandwich was pretty tasty and decently sized. The other banh mi sandwiches they have are $8 though. I stayed for about an hour, before I just left since it was just so loud. While not ideal to study, as it was really crowded and loud, but I can appreciate the drinks are really big and taste pretty good. This place can be a great place to hang out, especially since they also have board games available. I would definitely get the pork banh mi again. They also have other food like popcorn chicken and fries.

My Cup of Tea is like the unofficial community center for the local youth. Lots of groups playing boardgames, studying, working. I've stumbled into in store events like a k-pop fan goods event among other things. Also, the garlic noodles here are what made me fall in love with garlic noodles and the standard by which I judge the rest. The garlic noodles at My Cup of Tea have a very comfort food vibe. Soft, thick, and chewy and the sweet pickled shredded carrots are the perfect condiment. Free wifi and right next to an M line stop or 4 mins from a K line stop it's a great spot

I'm glad to have found a boba place that was open late. It was full of college students (I assume) at 10pm on a Monday. The fresh spring rolls were just okay but our drinks were good. I would come back and try other food. It was pretty loud in there from people playing board games. It also looked like a popular spot for people with laptops.

Comb Vietnamese sandwich just soso. For $13 I expect a lot more cold cuts and vegetables 👎🏻

On my trip to Daly City I craved some boba for the drive back so I went to this place. Parking was limited so I had to circle the block and walk back. The service was not the greatest as it took some time to be seen at the register and they didn't seem to understand a question I had about one of the drinks. The drinks were huge and very good ( I ended up getting a Thai tea, which was perfect-- not too strong) and the boba was fairly fresh and chewy. The bathroom was kinda gross unfortunately but other than that it was a nice little place and the drinks were great.

Boba is good No shout outs for the order though? All right guys I guess that's how they roll. I know I would with a megaphone if I ran that place. Just a heads up people, you'll have to get off your ass and walk without notice if you want yer shit. But AnyWho, the fellas seemed nice a tad on the quiet side, but overall 0% service. I liked it, though they've got plenty of games to play and chairs to sit in. I'll definitely go back for the environment.

Been here twice pho was surprisingly good as you normally don't see a boba place (1st) and Vietnamese. Service was average and food could have came out faster. They have games and internet so a cool place to grab a drink/snack and hang out. I'll come back again when I'm in the neighborhood and try more dishes/drinks.

Highlight(s): - Bring cash or expect to pay a 3% credit card fee - Medium is $6.75, large is $7.75; $1 for each topping For a "Quickly's" or "Tapioca Express" quality drink and ambiance, their prices are punching way above its weight. In the area and have a craving? It'll get the job done.

the guys operating My Cup of Tea always get the orders out fast, making it the ideal quick stop for drinks and snacks. I recommend the roasted milk tea and spam musuubs

Very cool space. Boba + Vietnamese food promising too. My kids said the boba didnt cut it for them unfortunately. I still may try the Vietnamese food sometime.

The ambiance is a socializing cafe where people come to hang out, play games, or do work. You can bring your own games or play the ones they provide. The place offers drinks and a variety of foods from snacks to meals. The roasted milk tea was a little bland and the Thai smoothie was watered down. Both were lacking in tea flavor. Overall, I give these drinks 3.5/5

I was craving boba at around 10:15pm, the boba spot that was still open in the vicinity was My Cup of Tea which closes at midnight. There were plenty of street parking at night and there is a parking lot across the street, which there was no enforcement at night. I ordered a thai milk tea with with boba. The thai tea was made from powder, which i dont mind. The boba was marinated and chewy. There were plenty of spaces to sit with tables. You can also play board games inside the store. There's plenty of board game to choose from that you can pick up from the front counter. The store also offer chinese/vietnamese food, but the prices appeared to be a bit expensive. But if everywhere is closed, why not try the food of you're hungry.

We came on a Friday night and the place was pretty full. It's a great hang out spot for groups and they have free board games to play. Even though it was full, we got our drinks pretty quickly! However, be prepared to wait if you are getting food. We waited around 20 minutes for popcorn chicken, which was yummy and juicy. In terms of the drinks, they were alright. The boba is on the softer side.

There are so many boba and snacks places in the sunset so you really need to be on your game. We had food as well as drinks and both were not awesome. The banh mi was fishy tasting throughout which was off putting despite the bread being good. I had a kumquat green tea with the store recommendations for ice and sweetness and it was very weak. We will try again because we like this area of the sunset but it will have to be great to reset my opinions of the quality here.

You know, for a number of years now, I've wondered why more places haven't opened up along this stretch of Ocean Ave. Sure, there isn't a ton of stuff around here, but that's also kind of the point - there's so much untapped potential! At the very least, it always made sense for a boba shop to open up here, given how many schools are nearby, as well as SF State and Stonestown. Now that My Cup of Tea has opened up, though, I have to admit - as happy as I am to see a boba shop around here, I'm kind of disappointed as well. Maybe I really am that hard to please...? Now, despite their name, My Cup of Tea is actually a Cool Tea Bar in disguise (SF has ordinances that can make it harder for chains to open in the city, so some will open under a different name to around them). So, if you've ever been, the somewhat modest menu of milk teas, green teas, and smoothies will look all too familiar. However, unlike the Cool Tea Bar in Chinatown, this one has a rather extensive food menu for a boba shop. In addition to typical boba shop snacks like popcorn chicken, takoyaki, and fries, you can also get a full on meal here, whether it be banh mi, bento boxes, vermicelli noodles, garlic noodles, rice bowls, and even pho! -- COFFEE MILK TEA - 70% Sweet, Less Ice...$5.50 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/my-cup-of-tea-san-francisco-2?select=b6F5AhAOMfZL2FNf-4M92A) Not the best I've had, but not awful either. It still felt a bit sweet at 70% (50% would've been perfect), but it's not as problematic in coffee milk teas. That said, I do wish this had a stronger coffee flavor to it, as it was actually relatively subtle. -- OOLONG MILK TEA - 30% Sweet, Less Ice...$5.25 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/my-cup-of-tea-san-francisco-2?select=JJRY24CM0grtEZ44yjkFew) Ehh...this was fine, but I regret not getting jasmine or my usual black milk tea instead. Mostly, I just thought the taste of the oolong tea was kind of generic and scant. It didn't help either that I got 30% sweetness, but that's on me (hence 50% being perfect). -- GARLIC NOODLES with Grilled Chicken (added)...$10.99 (+$2) (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/my-cup-of-tea-san-francisco-2?select=inhyuUM-s9rlkceT26bYbQ) Initially, this actually looked rather promising and the chicken was pretty decent (juicy with a nice hit of lemongrass to it). However, as Gordon F. noted, the noodles do taste a bit like frosting/cake. Not sure why (there clearly isn't any in this), but I suspect it comes from the cooking oil/butter substitute they use. Ugh. Regardless of the food and drinks, the best thing about My Cup of Tea has got to be all of the conveniences they have to offer. Between the ample amounts of street parking, tables (this used to be a full on restaurant), and their late hours (open until midnight, which is rare on this side of SF), it's no surprise that there's always a a bunch of folks hanging out here on Friday and Saturday nights. They also have a collection of board games to offer, though people seem to bring in games of their own to play (not sure if they're all part of a larger group or if it's just coincidence). Based purely on drinks alone, My Cup of Tea/Cool Tea Bar is more of a three and a half star joint that I would've considered rounding up purely for how convenient they are. However, after factoring in their two star (AT BEST) garlic noodles, there's no way I'd give them anything higher than three. Perhaps I'll try their popcorn chicken one day, but otherwise, I'll stick with the drinks if/when I'm looking for a milk tea late at night.

I'm glad this place is open late, but the drinks offered by Cool Tea Bar are disgusting. I got the regular milk tea with boba, and while it was ok, it was really sweet. My husband got the oolong milk tea with boba, and his tasted SO ARTIFICIAL. It was one of the worst milk tea's that I have ever tried. On top of that, service was really bad. It took awhile for the worker to come out of the kitchen, and then he took the order of people who came in after us! I was outspoken about this, and he offered no apology or explanation whatsoever.

My Cup of Tea is so spacious. They have a couple of outlets around and long tables where you can study and work. You have to pay for parking which I believe is $1.75 per hour and then it is free after 6:00Pm. There is plenty of parking and the person before me had paid for a lot of the parking, so I basically parked for free. They had some Korean and Chinese music going on, relaxing the mind. They provide smoothies with different sweetness levels, a rare feature. I rarely see any tea places that offer that for smoothies. It's good to know we can have that option. Their curry smells so good, but I didn't get it this time. Using the internet they provided helped a lot when working on my own assignments and the community was very chill and quiet. The server was kind enough to bring the drinks to our table without having us go to the counter. I purchased the strawberry smoothie and it was refreshing. I can't wait to try their other foods and see what that's like!

I enjoyed their drinks. Although seems like they're always so busy or taking too long to make drinks though. Besides that, good service and drinks. I haven't tried their food yet. Seems pricey imo.

My Cup of Tea is in the Merced Manor area of San Francisco. Parking is street parking, but when I came by at night, there was plenty of parking. It was a nice late night spot to chill/hang out at (they close at midnight every night) and they have games as well. I tried their combo banh mi and jasmine milk tea with boba. The banh mi took awhile to come out, but the time went by pretty quickly as I was drinking my boba and playing the board games that they had available there. The banh mi was decent - not the best, but it was okay for a boba shop snack. The milk tea was more on the bitter side - I felt like it could had been a bit creamier and sweeter as well.

Honestly I think it's worse than Quicky's. The boba is one level lower than Quickly's when it comes to quality but it will hit just enough if you're desperate. The server messed up my friend's drink and made her a new one to keep, complimentary which was nice. This is the place for all students to come and do homework and hang out, there were even board games. I wish I tried their Banh mi and more of their real foods to have a better opinion but I don't think I'll come back. My order: Taro Milk Tea with boba - Real taro, with some chunks if you're into that (I was not expecting it) the boba itself wasn't sweetened but chewy. Sweet Potato Fries - Definitely was just frozen sweet potato fries, you can't really go wrong here. Popcorn Chicken - It looks like there was a lot of flavor but it just tasted so mid.

Simple place to have boba with friends; lots of tables inside and food available on the menu besides the drinks. I had the grass jelly roasted milk tea and it felt like a big serving! Nice and refreshing. Very basic milk tea with a light roasted flavor. The grass jelly was nice and soft. Random note- their orange accents give off quickly vibes~

Yelp
The service is poor, though the price is rather high. Perhaps it's commonplace these days that inquiries about menu items are met solely with a yes/no response and no suggestive upsells, alternatives or personal favorites. We aren't patronizing these establishments any longer for an experience-- it's simply just drone-like drudgery. They serve a number of soup dishes, pho and the like, yet when asked if I can just get a side of the soup to warm the bones on a chilly San Francisco night, the response is "No." it could very well be that my expectations are just too high, looking for an exchange that just didn't happen. Well, $47 later and the sweet potato fries are pretty basic, and I remain hopeful for the bahn mi, though I guess I shouldn't hold my breath. Too bad they're the only place nearby that's open late. Addendum: The guy apologized for his poor attitude. Gave him a $20 tip. Fair is fair. The sandwich came out and it wasn't too bad. The pork was very tasty and the sauce as well. Carrots were a little sweet though it was a huge difference from the sweet potato fries. They probably buy it in a bag. Up another star and a half perhaps.

Decent drinks - got the #1 recommended drink, the only thing was that the milk tea a little too milky. Snacks (had the popcorn chicken and takoyaki) were pretty good too. Also a good place to grab a drink or a snack and then study or hang out - lots of tables and chairs. Overall: 3.6/5

Came by with a friend who was looking for boba. I got taro and he got a regular milk tea. My taro tasted stale, almost like the taro powder/mix had been sitting on the shelf for a while. My friends milk tea just tasted like water. The popcorn chicken and fries were fine. Maybe we just came on an off day?, but I'm not sure why this place was packed. Maybe the food is it's saving grace.

Boba quality: Quickly level Service speed: Abysmal Pricing: Egregious At $8 a pop, each boba drink takes 15-20 minutes to make, this place is a hard pass for me. The boba is consistently inconsistent -- mushy and flavorless. The employees care very little for customer service, and there is zero communication to the waiting customers who are left guessing at which drinks are who's. I nearly took video of the swarm of people waiting at the service counter just to illustrate how many people were awaiting their orders... didn't want to make people uncomfortable being filmed. Take my word for it though, or feel free to experience it for yourself. You won't return. Unfortunately, it's one of the few boba spots that are open past 10 PM in the city. If you've got other options, pick those.

The place opens late as we went after eating at a restaurant nearby. The parking can be limited if you are visiting in the day but at night time, there's plenty of parking! We got the jasmine milk tea with boba, honeydew milk tea, and mango milk. The jasmine milk tea was 70% sweetness but it still felt overly sweet. As for the honeydew milk tea, it was definitely too sweet and I couldn't drink more. The mango green tea was refreshing and definitely not too sweet so I would order it again! There's also food that you can order if you are craving for some snacks or want to dine in with friends!

I was walking by and wanted to check this place out. They have lots of tea and milk teas. The food selection is so much from popcorn chicken, garlic noodles, banh mi, spam musibi, chicken teriyaki over rice, bento box and the list continues. I really could not make up my mind. I decided to order the beef banh mi sandwich spicy. The sandwich was not spicy but did have good flavor. The ingredients were good - the beef and vegetables. It could have used more sauce and the bread was too crispy would have been better as a soft bread. I really liked the oolong milk tea it was just the right flavor. I would return to this place to try the garlic noodles and popcorn chicken.

The price of the boba for the flavor and service was not worth it. The popcorn chicken was sorely disappointing. It's mostly breading when you tear it apart and very bland. It's hard to mess up popcorn chicken but somehow they managed.

This place is definitely My Cup of Tea (pun intended)! They have an extensive selection of boba drinks and Vietnamese food such as pho, garlic noodles, rice bowls and banh mi. I really like how this is one of the remaining boba places in the area that is open until 11:30pm. Today I stopped by because of a magical cupsleeve event for the birthdays of TXT's Huening Kai & Yeonjun, hosted by Magic Hour Cafee. Despite the line of fellow MoAs (TXT stans), I was able to get my order within 5 minutes. Props to the staff for being on top of their game while co-hosting a cupsleeve event on site. It's also a plus when local kpop cupsleeve organizers are able to partner with My Cup of Tea and host their cupsleeve events here. Please continue to co-host various kpop cupsleeve events! It's truly a convenient location whether anyone chooses to walk, take muni (the 28 bus, K & M trains) or drive. I'm truly fond of their Mango Green Tea with boba. I can definitely taste the balance between the green tea and mango flavor. Their boba is very chewy, yet lightly sweetened. I must try their other flavors and smoothies next time. I still haven't tried their meals, it's definitely on my bucket list when I return to dine in or order to go.

My cup of tea coming in clutch for being open during the holidays. I always come here when I'm in the area. Their milk tea hits the spot. My go to favorite is the roasted milk tea with grass jelly. Their pho is also good. Don't be fooled by the plastic bowl it's served in. They give you a HUGE portion of broth, noodle, and beef. I was full for hours. They have a wide selection of drinks and food. They also host events from time to time. Until next time my cup of tea.

So many disappointing things about My Cup of Tea. First: Probably the most unwelcoming cashier ever! I walked in said hello and asked how she was and she just stared at me. I noticed the same reaction to several other people that came in and placed orders although the place was very empty except for a couple people having lunch. So not sure what the cold attitude was for, it wasn't even busy. Second: The wait, I have literally never waited so long in an empty restaurant for 4 orders. Third and most Important: The Food was BAD!! *Combo bahn mi-Thick cut slices of hard meats, I am used this this combo with nicely cut thin slices but these thick cuts made it hard to chew and just felt like gristle. *Pork bahn mi-Not bad but not as flavorful as you would expect. Both bahn mi's has an insane amount of carrots and a huge chunk of cucumber. The bread although should have a nice crunch on the outside, was completely stale and fell apart on the first few bites. *Fried pork spring rolls-Bland *Takoyaki-Literally only found 2 pieces of octopus in about 2 out of the 4. The other 2 maybe had 3 pieces so sadly it was mostly bland dough. I wouldn't come here again for food. Maybe just a Boba but the service was so uninviting I don't think I will bother!

Got delivery only. Boba: pleasantly surprised by the freshness of the boba and grass jelly. I got the grass jelly milk tea with 50% sweet: would go for 30% next time. Popcorn chicken: nicely battered and not too salty. Nice texture.

I came in today because .. I haven't been here in a while and my niece never tried this place. -Jasmine milk tea boba - Thai milk tea - popcorn chicken - combo banh mi They take cash and card. They have a machine for card, it says insert, slide or tap but guess what? You can't slide or insert because there's no slot for it!! I used my older card which doesn't have a chip nor tap, but it doesn't even matter!! Drinks came out accordingly, but food took about 20 minutes. Drinks were good. Lots of people ordered popcorn chicken so they fried it in a huge batch, I get it. My banh mi took that long as well. PC was good, huge pieces. Banh mi ... idk what to say ... for $10, umm no thanks.

I ordered a boba tea and I got a great juicy tasty drink. The size of the drink was the size of a 7-11 Big Gulp cup. I would say both quantity and quality is my cup of tea.

For the price of that boba... I was not feeling it. My go to with boba is Thai Tea... it wasn't the best but it wasn't horrible either. I think it was the boba if I'm being honest, and who knows maybe I got a bad batch. My friend also ordered one of the curries I think and she couldn't even force herself to finish it.

I used to come here to eat and get boba all the time. It was literally our go to spot when it comes to late night snacks and drinks but after this experience I suggest not coming here. I understand that they are under staffed but there is no reason as to why we had to wait an hour for a bowl of garlic noodles and a bahn mi especially if the people that ordered after us got all their drinks and food too. The staff was rude when I went to go asked how much longer and said that it took a long time because a lot of people ordered food. As if I didn't know due to the whole place being filled with people. He also seemed to have an attitude when responding to me when I was talking calmly and being respectful. Maybe it was the stress, I'm not sure. Working in the restaurant industry I understand that there are times where things are stressful and sometimes things may get out of hand, but when a customer is talking nicely and respectfully to you, there shouldn't be any problem talking the same way back to the customer. Again, I understand that they were backed up due to understaffing but that should not excuse the reasons as to why I had to wait a whole hour on food. Hopefully they can get their management team to work better as a team and try to figure out a way to make things go smoothly.

I love this place! They have both drinks and snacks and are open late night. Quick service at the counter with a short wait time for your order. Lots of seating available as well as board games to play in store. It can be a little noisy, but it's all a part of the fun. Would definitely recommend for late night boba runs!

This establishment is great if you're looking for value and variety. Their menus is huge with a wide assortment of food and beverages. This place is also open until midnight, which is a rarity in the city. Some of the beverages were pretty average, with the Roasted Milk Tea being the best. The boba is usually too soft and isn't sweet enough. While the drinks aren't the best, they can be decent if you order selectively. The best part is that the large size is huge and is only $0.50 more. I have yet to try their other foods but their Popcorn Chicken is alright. It has a good breading to meat ratio and is enjoyable. Yet it could use a bit more seasoning and maybe some basil to go with it. The service is probably one of the major factors for losing stars. They are extremely slow. It took ~23 minutes to get through 5 customers and another 10-12 minutes for the order. Order was also missing an item when number was called. Would only recommend if you have extra time to spare.

I stopped in and got their roasted oolong tea 50% with grass jelly, pork banh mi, and grilled beef vermicelli bowl. The roasted oolong tea was ok, nothing stand out about it. Pork banh mi for $9.99 was a bit steep for what you get. I got a bit of weird chewy meat in my sando. If this was a cheaper sandwich this would understandable but the price does not match the quality. I also got the beef vermicelli bowl which I super regret. The meat was just fatty and chewy. My husband took a few bites of it and opted to eat leftovers from the fridge.

Why don't I come here more often? I was greeted with a panel of various foods and their drink menu. I had no idea that they served pho or rice bowls but as they say, expect the unexpected. I had ordered the Peach 101 with popcorn chicken. Yum to say the least. The Peach 101 comes with boba and lychee jelly. But I do have to say this, there wasn't a lot of boba but I came to the conclusion that since they gave me boba AND jelly, they probably gave me 1/2 a normal serving of boba and 1/2 a normal serving of jelly (cannot confirm this claim, it is merely a coping theory). Tasting of delicious peach, it was mighty refreshing! Their popcorn chicken was amazing too! Perhaps it was because we came close to opening, but it was fresh, crunchy, and the chicken was MOIST. When eating popcorn chicken I don't expect such excellently seasoned (and salty) fried chicken, but here it was, in the flesh and soon, in my tummy.

I love the concept of a boba cafe with plenty of seating for - what looked like - high school/college students to work, along with snacks and boba. The drinks were generous in portion for the about midrange cost. The oolong lychee milk tea was nothing extraordinary, but was still a deliciously good time.

This is one of the only few places that opens past 10 for boba. I understand the long wait for the drink and I don't mind since we have time to spare. However, get your menu update to the correct current price. Everything on my receipt was $1 more than what it was stated on the menu. I don't mind paying the price if it was stated correctly but it's not. They're charging everything according to the Uber menu price, which is marked up at least another 20 percent.

Drinks are weak in flavor now. Not sure what happen but if you need to get you boba fix it's an average spot. A notch better than quickly.

This place is pretty good. I like their prices. I hope they haven't gone up. I will try more food and drinks here in the future and see how it goes.

WHEN: Saturday @ 2pm Free wifi at the cafe. Eat in available. I was at the cafe working for a few hours in the afternoon. The bobas are okay. It was a particularly cold day in sf, I ordered a hot green tea. The cafe had the doors open, which made the cafe colder inside. I wouldn't recommend taking meetings at the cafe, the baristas uses the blender for drinks n it's so loud. Drink prices are decent, $4-6 per drink, typical sf boba prices.

I've been going here for a long time now and have noticed how much it has changed and how popular this boba shop has gotten now. I still appreciate the amount of space this place has and how clean it is too. Their food is really good! I was honestly quite skeptical of how their noodle soup would taste, but it's actually really tasty! I also typically order their pork banh mi. Usually the sandwiches are very stuffed, but I have gotten a few skimped out sandwiches before. For drinks, their oolong milk tea with boba is my go to drink. Their mango green tea is also really good. Their drink sizes are pretty big and the large should definitely be shared. Their boba quality is consistent and has really improved over time. Their prices have gone a bit higher, but I think it's worth it for the quantity and quality. I highly recommend ordering by phone because it can get quite busy!

Ordered a Kumquat Green Tea with Grass Jelly this afternoon. And just saw unknown disgusting things inside the grass jelly after I had some already. Really disappointed.

It depends what you order. Their beef stew rice noodle soup is awesome! We ordered the beef brisket, rare steak and tripe, but were very disappointed with the meat. Most other dishes are pretty good and so are their Boba teas.

I'm not the type of person to say that any type of food is disgusting as I believe that food is a gift that should not be taken for granted. But the popcorn chicken that I got from here was the most vile, disgusting pile of carcass that I've ever had the displeasure of consuming. No amount of salt, pepper and hot sauce helped it. I had to throw out most of the container. Mind you to add insult to injury, I doordashed for a popcorn chicken bowl with rice and received just popcorn chicken. So I was already pretty annoyed from the start. Then I took a bite and I was in disbelief. I convinced myself it would get better as I ate more but it only continued to taste like newspaper. Don't get the popcorn chicken from here.

I went to My Cup of Tea for the first time last night, and I will be back again! First, if you like having the freedom to customize ice and sweetness level with no charge, then My Cup of Tea may be your cup of tea heh. I tried their new flavor called "Honeydew Melon Milk Tea". If you love Melona bars, then THIS is for you my friend. I got it with regular ice and 30% sweetness, and that was the perfect amount of sugar for me. The drink didn't taste chalky or too artificial like how other fruit milk teas could taste. I would get this flavor again, 5/5! I have tried their boba pearl before (a sip from a friend's drink), and the texture wasn't consistent within each boba. I'm very particular about my boba, so for this reason, I gave the place a 4/5 overall! Looking forward to coming back and trying other flavors. :)

My Cup of Tea is one of the best boba shops I have frequented in a very long time. All too often you stumble upon places with very basic tea options or rely heavily on powder to make their drinks. Luckily this spot was none of that and ended up being a great treat. I ordered a Lychee Oolong Milk Tea with boba with 1/3 sugar and ice. Loved my drink! Boba was soft and chewy and I could really taste the herbal-ness from the oolong tea. The option to have lychee flavoring included was a plus as I don't see that very often. They offer one size (large 18 oz) for a very reasonable price of around $4.50 per drink and toppings aren't that much more. What I love about this place is that they use non-dairy creamer so it's great for individuals like me who avoid consuming dairy and are then able to still enjoy a milk tea beverage. My family had placed a huge order of 16 drinks over the phone and they got every single one correct. Nearly half of that had some kind of variation in topping, sugar level, etc. as well. That is a huge achievement so thank you so much for working with us. Food wise, unfortunately there was nothing on the menu that was vegan or even vegetarian friendly really. I was looking forward to seeing a tofu or non-shrimp spring roll option be available, but alas I am not the target audience. Still, it was reassuring to know that all their drinks are non-dairy. Street parking is available and they have some outdoor seating.
