Tea & Others

the best strawberry matcha latte in all of SF ! plus super nice staff :)

i got the dirty matcha with boba 🧋 the boba was a little hard but the drink was good!

Man this was good tea! I got the lil giraffe and my sister got the Thai tea. I was unsure of what mine would be like since cake is an ingredient. It’s essentially just cake flavored tea. No weird consistency at all! The cups are bigger than they look so the price isn’t bad either. The straws they used did have a strange taste (they’re a paper variety) so I’d opt for one of their other straw options next time. An older review on Google says they don’t have dairy free options but that isn’t true anymore. Some of the items on the menu do say they can’t be substituted. They have soy, almond, and oat milk though. I wish I was able to get more aesthetic pictures for the review but with COVID they only allow 1 party in at a time so I wanted to grab the tea and get out. Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in SF.

When I visited, the store had no seating and had closed their restrooms to customers, not sure if this is a usual thing. I ordered from an iPad, I liked that it had photos & an in-depth description of all the different tea options. My friend got the Oreo Matcha & I got the Lil’ Giraffe. It was pretty good, I was surprise they didn’t already come with the traditional boba ($0.75 additional charge). My friend’s was better, I didn’t taste much of the cake batter maybe due to my 75% sweetness instead of 100%? I wouldn’t recommend the Lil’ Giraffe, I’m sure there other options are better.

Good place for milk teas. I had the oreo matcha tea and it was so good. The matcha is really good and not too overpowering. The tea can be made with a variety of milk alternatives as well. The spot is very unique and the staff is really friendly. Gonna be grabbing a drink here again.

Thai iced tea was good with strong tea flavors. Mango frappe is not recommended as it had too many chunks of ice in it, not blended well. Good quality boba. Fast and friendly service. Short hours, hopefully they stay open longer in the future.

This cute tea spot has some creative drinks, like those with cake batter. We tried the Dirty Mango with boba (additional $.50) and Taro Matcha Latte. Both were yummy at 75% sweetness and 50% ice. *Tip: Don't forget to check-in on Yelp to get 25% off the entire order

Spotted this place while wandering around Haight St and got the Citrus garden which is oolong and fresh orange juice. It was ok, mostly tasted like orange juice and I liked the pulp in the drink. Overall the drink seemed small for the $6.85 I paid and not very memorable. I got aloe topping for $0.75 and it seemed like a very small amount so not worth it. Maybe it’s just the cup shape. Interior and designs in the store were cool but it’s a fairly small space with no seating

This place has the best boba branding I've seen! The dinosaur stuck in the boba cup is adorable, and there are dinosaurs all throughout the inside. The service was quick and friendly! I got the osmanthus oolong with crema. It's quality tea; and because I got the crema at 50%, it wasn't too sweet. I highly recommend this place!

Tea & Others is one of my favorite boba places to go to in San Francisco. They have unique drinks and the decor is fun. They have a good strawberry matcha latte boba drink. Tea & Others also has a unique drink series called tea & cake. I had the camouflage tea & cake drink and I really enjoyed it. It's kind of like a cake batter/cake frosting flavoring, but it is something that you have to try! They have a dinosaur theme interior with miniature dinosaurs and plants. PROS: Friendly staff, unique drinks and a variety of options. CONS: Drinks are on the small side, hoping they can create a larger size options in the future. They only have one location, hoping they will open up more locations. TIPS: -Try the tea & cake series. -They have an option to order online.

Having been to A LOT of boba spots, it's getting more and more rare to have a pleasant surprise when we check out a new spot. Still, Tea & Other had been on our list for a few months ever since we saw the cute logo and saw some of their drinks in hand of people strolling around. We were so glad to finally check it out because it was unexpectedly good! It's a small shop without anywhere to linger, and as is common these days, is contactless. Still, the drinks come out quickly and had uncommonly good flavor as well as decent boba. This gets a high rating from us and we would definitely return! I love dirty boba and got a dirty matcha boba which was quite good and my wife got a seasonal special fruit tea that was really tasty!

My bes-tea and I love getting tea when we hang out. She chose Tea & Others since we'd both never been. The tea shop is small and unassuming with a few dinosaur decorations. There's a menu posted outside and inside. Order at the kiosk, pick up your drink when it's ready, and take it to go. Service wasn't helpful or memorable but the drink was well-made. Milk and fruit teas are available with customizations and dairy alternatives. I got the Taro Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, Light Ice, and 50% Sweetness. The matcha was earthy, I enjoyed that they used real taro, and the drink as a whole was slightly sweet and creamy. My friend enjoyed the strong floral taste of her Organic Jasmine Milk Tea. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but I did appreciate trying Tea & Others. Parking is limited and street only with its location off Divisadero Street.

I got a strawberry matcha latte to fuel me for my late nights on Tuesdays, and it def had enough caffeine to keep me up! I am currently on the hunt for the best strawberry matcha latte spot, and this is up on the list!

Stopped into here as I had errands to run in the area & wanted a drinky drink to reward myself LOL. I think it's a pretty solid neighborhood offering. There was no seating in the store, so you can only order (on the kiosk) for take out. They did not have Taro available on the day I went, which I was really craving, but I went with the Mango Matcha Latte (3/5). It was very thick and viscous, and kind of chalky in texture. Could be because I got a mango drink when it's not in season, but the mango in this was very sour and tart, a bit unexpected. Service was quick and prompt, as I was the only one in the store at the time. I'll come back to try out another menu offering.

Tea & Others was such a cute spot. Probably one of the best boba balls in the city, they were soft and chewy but also a bit warm, which is exactly the way I love them. I got the Milk Tea which although good and refreshing, was a little bit less flavorful than some other places I've been to. But I would definitely love to come back and try some more flavors. The cup is so cute and the small was a perfect size for a small pick me up in the middle of the day.

Good service - quite fast! Good quality drink as well. Pretty ordinary, but pretty cute and clean local boba shop.

Tried another seasonal drink today, the watermelon jasmine iced tea. 50% sweetness is perfect!. Yummy and refreshing!

I have unfortunately graced this place w two tries and concluded it's not worth ever revisiting. The matcha tastes cheap and fishy, the boba is flavorless (I'd expect at least a brown sugar soak) and the texture while not egregiously soggy is also just..fine. You can get amazing drinks elsewhere for the same price. I've tried the strawberry matcha and dirty (brown sugar) matcha at 50% and 75% sweetness respectively and neither dressing can cover up the lackluster matcha. Byeeeee

Jasmine milk tea - 5/5, super strong tea flavor! It's hard finding good boba places with strong tea, so I'm glad my friends decided to walk down to it from Haight. Boba is good too, nice and chewy. Crema osmanthus oolong tea - 5/5, I only had a sip but the tea flavor is strong and the crema is good. I also had a sip of the black milk tea and really liked it. There is a strong tea flavor, which I absolutely love! I would definitely want to come back.

Came in to get some boba while walking around the area, and decided to go with the Dirty Matcha with boba. It's a small, nice spot with only standing counters - seems like the kind of place to grab your drink and go. We ordered on the self-order kiosks, and the drink came out pretty quickly, though there wasn't any other orders when we got there. The black sugar wasn't super noticeable, but it did give the drink a deeper flavor. It felt a bit milk-heavy for my taste - I would've preferred a stronger matcha flavor, but the matcha itself tasted good. The boba was sweetened just right and had that perfect texture. Next time, I'd like to try some of their tea-based drinks. Overall, I think it's a pretty solid spot for a boba fix.

Another place with extended-covid seating situation in the Bay Area. Let's move on and stop using half the cafe for boxes and junk and let people sit and enjoy a drink. The actual drink was great! I got an oolong tea with some salted foam, taro and boba. Love that you can add on whatever you like to your drink. And second drink was mango milk with boba which was yummy too. The small portion was just the right size. I recommend to grab and take a walk up Castro then turn right towards the park. Nice walk and you can enjoy the view of painted ladies and other Victorian homes along the way.

Came here to try them out after passing by on my way to the Haight. Got one of their tea + cake drinks because it seemed interesting. Ultimately, it was underwhelming. The concept was cool but the execution did not pan out; the cake batter felt thin and was completely overpowered by the matcha to the point it might as well have not been there. The matcha itself was good and delicious though. As for ambiance, there was none. Most of the storefront is hidden away behind a fold up table as if this were still 2020 and the vibe I got from the sole guy working at the time was very "here's your drink, now go". Side note, I love their logo and branding. Its cute and fun. Kudos to whoever came up with it.

Make sure to do Yelp Check in for a free topping! My friend and I came on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait! We ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte and Watermelon Green tea. Both were average and they did specify that all drinks were large size only. It was standard SF pricing but I don't think anything was special for me to come again. They're a small boba corner store without any seating and just a kiosk in the front area. Parking also very limited. Their decor is adorable with the earthy tones and plants everywhere. Their menu is also so cute with the clipboards!

Went in on a nice sunny day! The store was small and dinosaur themed. No room for sitting so you order at the kiosk in the front and likely wait outside if it's crowded. I didn't have anyone in front of me besides a DoorDash order so I waited about roughly 5 minutes for my two drinks. Ordered the camouflage drink which is matcha and golden cake batter mix. I did not really like the mixture but I've had the matcha alone before which is pretty good. I would not recommend adding the egg pudding in the drink. Overall a decent experience and I'd come back!

Jurassic Park had me fearing the TEA-rex since a young age, and pro-BOBA-ly for the rest of my life. Luckily here, no dinosaurs- only some boba drinks. .:: Drinks ::. Pink Panther $5.50+ Creama (+$1): Strawberry Cake Batter laced around the cup with jasmine tea. Added on creama. I liked this drink more than my own drink. My friend got this and was a unique taste with the cake batter. Gave it a more dense texture and a kick of flavors. Strawberry Matcha Latte $5.50: basically everything is in the name, strawberry puree with matcha and milk. Very meh! Strawberry puree was tasting flat, almost didnt even taste it. Usually the puree adds on sweetness, but felt like it was not sweet at all. Matcha was just bitter and watered down. Not the rich matcha you would get at a quality place. .:: Ambiance / Service / Parking ::. TAKE OUT ONLY currently (reporting live on 5/2023). The place looked pretty small though. Cashier and I have very little interaction as it was a order at the kiosk type of place. Only one Kiosk available so can see a line forming if theres many people We walked from another restaurant, but looks like street parking

Ordered the Organic Jasmine Milk Tea and Organic Black Milk Tea. You can taste the tea flavor for both, but I wouldn't say it's strong. Overall, they were average milk tea beverage. The boba pearls are pretty good tho, throughly cooked, soft and chewy. The store is pretty small, no seating, and you order through a kiosk. When we walked in, nobody was at the front end, which to the introverts is perfect you get no pressure as you look through their menu.

Tea & Others has been on my list of boba spots to try as they've got such great reviews compared to a lot of others in the SF scene. Came through for a quick boba break during our adventure in the city. We took the bus to get here, but if you drive good luck finding street parking. The shop is located on the corner, easy to find, and there will probs be a short line out the door. The shop itself is SO small, zero seating, and no outdoor seating either. It's a grab-n-go type of spot, so if you're bringing the elders...bring yourself a stool just in case. They do contactless ordering, so there's only one pad to order from which makes the lines longer. There is a paper menu at the front door, so you can take turns reading the menu while you wait in line. I got their mango matcha boba latte which was beautiful, and my friends' Pink panther and Citrus Gardens looked nice too. The presentation truly is pretty with all of the colors, since you can get milk teas, fruit teas, even CAKE teas what. The drinks are instagrammable with their bright colors. But the interest dies there. There was only one bobarista that day, management needs to staff properly! The poor gal was making all of the drinks herself, so the whole thing probably took 30 mins for us to wait. I felt so bad for her. Once you order, there's barely enough space to wait inside, so I would suggest having 1-2 in your party wait for the drinks. No restrooms, but they do have hand sani and napkins. No serve-yourself water while you wait too. The drinks came out at adequate level of taste. My matcha was good, but it tasted like the matcha I make at home. The drink wasn't even cold enough, probably needed to be stirred with ice before arranging. The mango puree they use isn't too sweet which was wonderful, and honestly the boba was a little too hard, minimal QQ bounce. My friend's pink panther was odd, his words not mine. It was odd drinking boba in cake batter form. The citrus garden was probably our fave, refreshing and honestly just citrus juice. I would pass on Tea & Others, cute concept, but not cute enough for a next time.

I came with a friend after doing an apartment tour on a weekday afternoon. It seemed a little empty despite being clean and lightly decorated with a few small plants. It's definitely more of a to-go type of boba store and I wasn't surprised to see several online orders. There are a lot of choices that you can pick from that are posted on the wall on these colorful clipboards! However, not all of them were available on the kiosk. I got the Jasmine Milk Tea with boba. I like my tea a little stronger and I thought the boba might just have been on the tougher side because it was the end of the day. Either way, my order was ready within 2-3 minutes of paying. The boba wasn't anything too special but I wouldn't mind stopping by for a quick order again.

Ok my last review was harsh - the mango matcha latte wasn't my thing but I've been several more times to try more fun items on their menu and I've had a great time! I love that they try different kind of ingredients like cake batter (though it's not my thing) and their flavors are clean and rich. The staff are friendly and the store is always clean and churns through its popular clientele quickly. So fun to bring the drinks to the nearby panhandle to enjoy!

Solid boba spot on divis! The drinks were tasty - I typically enjoy drinks with strong tea flavor and aren't too sweet or milky. I got the black milk tea less sweet and it was perfect. The boba was a little harder than preferred, but maybe it was an off day. My boyfriend got the taro matcha latte half sweet and it was sweeter than mine. It was still pretty good though, but I prefer the milk tea.

This is clearly a no contact operation where you either preorder or just order on the screen and someone is sitting in the back acting like no one is there until you ask for help. Being a visitor and not a regular, I had questions about their offerings. The person promptly came up to help and let me know about he sweetness, etc. so that was nice! I didn't love my boba tea I got here. Perhaps it's a different type of Boba tea than I'm used to, but it was grainy and had the consistency of a smoothie instead of a milk tea. I think it might have been the matcha or the Taro? Perhaps ask more questions if you're not from SF and used to getting a more liquid type of milke tea with Boba added. Also, I had a yelp check-in deal but didn't know until after I ordered (since it seems people rarely do that anymore sadly!) so I missed out on not being charged for my Boba. I tend to think going to a Boba tea place, that Boba might just be included? I did like their stickers on the register and the cute dino decorations in the window. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't come back.

My partner and I finally tried Tea & Others after my friend told me about it. I got strawberry match and my partner got Pink Panther, both with boba. We ordered via a kiosk and the service was quick! I tend to like my boba drinks on the sweeter side so I wished it had more sweetness. If you like drinks that are not as sweet, this place might be to your liking! The boba was good, but wished the boba was a bit sweeter too. This is just a personal preference.

tldr; crema osmanthus oolong with lychee jelly, 75% sweetness Didn't think it was possible to have a new favorite on my second visit here, but I guess it is! - Crema Osmanthus: The crema series is nice because it scratches the itch between fruit tea and milk tea, offering a mix of both before and after you stir. The cheese crema is salty and balances the sweetness of the tea and jelly. Osmanthus tea was delicious and refreshing but not overly sweet! Service was very speedy despite another party being in front of us.

Cute little grab-and-go boba shop in Nopa. The black milk tea was solid, not outstanding, but good for scratching the boba itch. There's def better boba shops out there, but this is solid enough if you're in the area

Small shop but big flavor. Loved the classic jasmine milk tea with boba. Lots of matcha latte options. This place seems more frequented for milk based drinks rather than fruit teas but I will be back to try them all. I went with 75% sweet and that was the perfect balance still able to taste the flavor of the tea and not overly sweet. Extra charge for boba but that is pretty standard nowadays.

3.5 stars but rounding up for a solid boba spot in SF. Remember to check in on Yelp for a free topping! They weren't busy yet when I stopped by at 2pm on a Friday, and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Their storefront is small and cozy, and you can use their kiosk to place your order. I tried the Grape Oolong with Crema ($5, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=dHelDQGa9TZbVynlAqWFzg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg), which was solid, but had more tea flavor than grape flavor. The crema was smooth and creamy, and this drink would have been great with more grape flavor. It was barely sweet at 25% sweetness, and I would opt for at least 50% the next time around (their system recommended 75%). Although their drinks were slightly smaller compared to other boba places, their prices were also slightly lower. I would come back to check out their matcha drinks if in the area. Some staff were still wearing masks. No indoor or outdoor seating was available. Street parking is available in this area, but it can be difficult to find parking.

A small store located on the corner of a busy street - I don't know why I've never walked in before but my friend and I decided to try it. Just one person working the store but it was pretty slow, so service was also really fast. I thought the Mint milk tea was refreshing although could have used a little stronger flavor! I also enjoyed the cute logo on the cups :) I would love to come back and try some of their other drinks!

Rating: 3.5/5 Logistics: -street parking only & limited -takeout only Drinks: -MT is ok, they use whole organic milk. Personal preferences, I like darker, richer tasting teas

This is a small boba shop off Castro St. that caught our eye due to their aesthetic interior. When we went, the seating area was blocked off (not sure if it still is), but it was more of a grab and go situation. I ordered the dirty mango which is a blended mango smoothie with milk. My friend ordered the oreo matcha latte. They have a pretty wild selection of drinks and the cups are aesthetic. Taste-wise, I think it fell a little short considering how many boba shops there are in the city. It's a decent spot for boba in the Haight area though.

Needed an afternoon pick me up. Lil' Giraffe hit the spot. I got it with 50% sweetness and crema so it wasn't overly sweet, but still had the sugary and creamy goodness I was looking for. I didn't interact with staff because you can quickly and easily order from a little iPad kiosk, but the person who made my drink was friendly when she handed it over! Loved the cute decor inside, although probably for good reasons (Covid) they don't appear to allow inside seating these days. Would definitely come back!

Recently was craving boba, and was right in the area, so decided to stop by and give it a try! I got the classic black milk tea, and was pretty satisfied. The pearls were definitely the highlight; super great chew, not over cooked at all, and had a light sweetness to them that was great. The milk tea itself was a bit disappointing. The tea flavor was really quite weak, and it tasted like milk flavored with tea rather than strong milk tea which is usually what I prefer. There's very limited seating in the store as well! I'll probably be back to try their cake milk tea (it has cake batter mixed in??), but otherwise probably won't be going out of my way to stop here!

TLDR: i tried one drink and it was very good, so 5/5! JASMINE MILK TEA WITH BOBA, 75% SWEET (as recommended), LESS ICE: i read a bunch of conflicting reviews here of everyone's varying experience with their more non traditional drinks, so i opted for a classic. if you can't get a classic right, what's the point right? luckily, i had a great experience! it was a cold fogust (read: foggy august) day, so i opted for less ice, but still kept the sweetness recommendation as the shop lists it. i usually like my teas dark and my drinks on the less sweet side so this was perfect for me. THAI MILK TEA (same toppings, sweetness, and ice levels as above): my partner got this and i took several sips. it was good, just as if you were to get a thai tea from a thai restaurant. no further notes. everyone here is right about the pearls btw they're phenomenal!! perfectly chewy, not too soft, not too sweet. i'd recommend to get them!

Walked in on a Sunday afternoon, ordered a mango matcha latte and it was really good! Matcha was a little grainy but still super tasty, boba's the right about of chewiness. Only one cashier working at the time but she was speedy quick! The interior decor is also really cute and hip!

This place was cute. I love dinosaurs so the theme is right up my alley. My daughter got the dirty strawberry- strawberry purée and milk. It was yummy. Like a fresher strawberry nestle quik. I got the pink Panther which was tea and strawberry cake. I added crema which I thought was a nice touch to it. When ordering on the kiosk, the recommended sugar was 75%. It wasn't sweet at all. So if you get this drink, I suggest 100%. I would have have, had I known. The tea flavor was allllmost slightly too strong. I think they should have descriptions of their drinks, too. Since it was our first time, we didn't know what the dirty drinks were or what the drinks named after animals were. It's only listed when you're ordering.

Love their dirty matcha. Boba's always cooked perfectly. Not much authentic tea options though.

My first time trying Tea & Others, but certainly not the last. It was hard for me to choose between the dirty boba and the dirty strawberry. I ended up ordering a large dirty strawberry with whole milk, light ice, 75% sweet, boba and lychee jelly. The boba pearls were nice and chewy. I hate when they're too soft. The lychee jelly had a nice chew and flavor was good as well! I was hoping that the boba would have more of a brown sugar boba taste to it. I also wish they had an option to add extra boba. I also knocked off a star because the non-dairy options costs more. It really sucks for those who want to order a drink with "milk", but are lactose intolerant. I personally don't think it's fair for those who are lactose intolerant to be "forced" to pay extra. The drink itself was decent. I was hoping it would have a stronger strawberry flavor, but it was still very good! I wish that their menu actually had a description of what each drink had inside. For instance, the dirty strawberry doesn't actually say what's in it on the menu. When ordering on Doordash, they don't have any of the descriptions listed for the drinks. I might try the dirty boba one next.

This business pumps out top quality bevs! I stopped by here when I was walking through the neighborhood. Was served within five minutes. Despite there being two or three people who ordered after me, the drinks came out quick! I ordered some sort of black oolong tea. With cream on top and Boba at the bottom. It was so good! Like jaw-dropping good. I almost got a 2nd cup on the way back over divisadero st. The barista Mei is killing it, she made the drink perfectly. Boba at this spot is really tasty! It wasn't perfectly spherical & didn't taste very artificial. As this tapioca didn't leave a sort of bland gelatin flavor like canned boba does. Felt caffeinated afterwards too and the drink didn't upset my stomach at all! To order you just tap a screen and pay by card or Apple Pay. The setting is very grab and go. Doesn't seem like much of a hangout spot as there isn't indoor seating. There is a ledge around the perimeter of inside. Didn't see anyone standing or using it though. Would I return? Heck yeah!!! 10/10 tea! :)

I got the dirty taro and it was super good. Both my husband and I thought it was the perfect dessert. I absolutely hate overly sweet drinks, so I always get 25% wherever I go. Their 25% was super good to me. I'd definitely come back!

My friend recommended this spot to me and I've been seeing it all over my Instagram, so I popped in for a visit. The worker was on his phone in the back and I had to call out for him twice before he finally looked up and decided to help me. I was torn between the mango matcha and the taro matcha, so I asked him for his recommendation. He kind of looked at me confused, like he'd never been asked for his opinion in his life, but he said he liked the taro more, so I went with that. They were out of a lot of the toppings when I went, so I just got it plain, 75% sweetness, no ice. 75% was pretty perfect - i think i could've gone for a little less sweetness, but it was good. I liked the earthy taste of the matcha with the combination of the sweet, thick taro paste. Aside from the service, I think I'd make it a point to come back here to try more drinks.

- cute and has a lot of menu options - mango matcha latte: ok, fairly strong matcha, purée made the drink kinda thick given the ratios - boba: hard :/ - would go back to try their regular milk teas since they seem like they would be strong which i like, might've just been a bad order this time

Craved some boba, saw good reviews, and caved in. Drinks were a little artificial but bearable but I don't think the boba itself was good which was disappointing. Dirty Boba Milk - boba was firmer and dense while being somewhat chewy but there was no flavor whatsoever. No sweetness on the boba. Drink was a typical sugar milk but I adjusted to 50% sugar and it was still like 150%. Pink Panther - was intrigued by the cake drinks so I decided to add one. Not sure what the cake part is but it's a fruit blended tea, the jasmine tea was very strong here. It's supposed to have cake batter mixed in but this isn't obvious at all through taste. Took me a while to understand the flavor because it tastes pretty artificial but it's like a jasmine tea with strawberry milk tea together. I have no clue what the cake part is, there wasn't a cakey texture or anything.

Drink with boba and a sub milk was $6.75 for a small. To me, that's a little pricey for the size. In socal, the same drink would cost me the same for twice the amount. Taste wise, boba was decent. Not too chewy and not too sweet. I got 50% sweet on the milk tea and my friends matcha was at 75%. We both think that they were at a good level of sweetness but we probably would have liked the next level up for each drink. Side note: We really wish that the place was called TEA-REX considering the sign design but oh well lol

No seating on the inside, so expect to walk around with your drink. Self-service kiosk, so not much interaction with the barista. For a Sunday, it was a bit busy with only one person working but it took them quick to make the drink. I ordered the thai tea and it was great. They recommended 75% sweetness - but could definitely go lower as it was still too sweet. Very cute concept!

Yummy boba!! The thai tea is really good and the bobas are perfect & soft. Great drinks in a cute little shop. Wish they opened later!!

Finally got to check out this boba shop that I first spotted through ig. Found street parking near the shop and stopped in. Unfortunately the shop is pretty small with the restroom not working or closed and what might have been a seating area closed off. More of a boba shop to get your boba to go and not really a place you can chill at with friends. I ordered at a tablet kiosk and ordered the strawberry matcha drink $5.50. You can make adjustments to the drink. They were quick to make my drink which tasted good but nothing out of the ordinary. Lots of drink options though so I will def try their other drinks if I'm in the area.

Came here on a Tuesday around 5:30pm. I ordered the oreo matcha latte with boba, 50% sweet. The boba came out warm and was a good consistency. The matcha was pretty strong too. I should've gotten it a bit less sweet since the oreo contributed to the sweetness more than I accounted for. Generally, I get the matcha drinks or the tea with crema drinks at Tea & Others. The drinks here are generally good, and the tea is strong. A plain tea with crema is probably the way to go for someone who likes something simple and enjoys tea more.

Tea & Others is such a cute lil milk tea shop in SF. I had lunch nearby and wanted to stop by since the interior looked so cute. It can be pretty difficult to find parking since it's along a busy street. They have a self check out kiosk but also take orders at the counter. The girl working was super friendly and helped me choose a drink. They also saw us taking pictures and even moved the kiosk for us The service was super fast. There also isn't any indoor seating at the moment. They have a wide variety of drinks but the name Lil Giraffe caught my eye. According to the worker it was cake batter & black milk tea. I really liked it and it reminded me of a type of a brûlée or puff cream topping. I also ordered mine with egg pudding which I felt didn't make too much of a difference in terms of flavor but the texture was soft. The drink is pretty creamy so I wouldn't recommend if you like more of a tea flavor. I hope to visit next time I'm in the City!
