4.5 stars New dessert/drink place in the area that specializes in Vietnamese Che. Bright space that is clean, seating by the window, bathroom for customers, and plenty of parking nearby in the mall. Walked in and smelled the pandan, definitely tempted to order a waffle. Top 13 drinks are posted on the wall for a visual. Ordering by kiosk has a convenience fee of $0.30. Regular or large size is available. Alternative to the milk tea places. Order: Bambi Favorite, fantastic drink on a hot day. Pandan jelly, red tapioca, grass jelly and coconut milk provides a refreshing mix with chewy toppings. read more

The Bambu is situated on the corner close to the mall, but not in the mall itself, so doesn't feel as heavily traversed as other tea shoppes. They were celebrating an anniversary and offered a special discount, and offered to take my order at the cash register instead of the kiosk, which felt very personal. I liked that there were multiple size options for milk teas, and chose to try a small one under $5. I ordered the mango milk tea with 50% sugar. It seemed to have a green tea or jasmine base, which could be discerned through each sip. There was a slight mango flavor as well. I like that there are smaller drink options when one doesn't feel like having a whole meal in a drink. Their che and halo halo options look quite large and enough to share. I'd consider coming back for their other treats if craving larger portions. read more

Bambu - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Francisco, California

Before going to the one down in Westminster, more than a decade had passed since the last time I had stopped into a Bambu. Given that, it doesn't escape me that it took just a matter of months for my next visit to happen again. No real rhyme or reason as to why it didn't take nearly as long this time, but I'd be lying if I said that the Ube Halo Halo we tried didn't have something to do with it. While it ultimately wasn't what we ordered, the memory of what we had definitely got us excited to try more when my friends suggested coming here! Compared to the location over on Geary (and the one in Westminster, for what it's worth), this Bambu is better in just about every way. Sure, it helps that it's still relatively new (they opened about eight months ago?), but it's undoubtedly cleaner, feels a whole lot brighter, is a bit more conveniently located, and, most significantly, has way more parking available nearby. As for the menu, it had pretty much all of the usual offerings that you'd expect to find at any of their locations - che desserts, milk tea, fruit teas, waffles, macarons, and Vietnamese coffee. -- MANGO HALO HALO - Green Jello Base with Coconut Meat, Coconut Milk, Red Tapioca, Jackfruit, Egg Pudding, Crystal Boba, Mango Jelly, Pandan Jelly, Nata de Coco, and Topped with Mango Ice Cream While it didn't impress quite like the Ube Halo Halo did, this was still really good. Between all of the mangos (vs ube) and jellies, this felt a lot fruitier and lighter. However, it also didn't feel quite as creamy as the Ube one did, which I kind of missed. -- VIETNAMESE EGG COFFEE Sadly, the coffee is a pre-made mix, so they weren't able to modify the sweetness, but I appreciate that they added plain coffee to help dilute it. Even then, though, this ended up being really sweet. Loved how creamy the egg foam made this, though. Despite how I genuinely like this particular Bambu, I don't know how often I would come back since I don't typically crave che desserts and other places usually come to mind first when I think of where to get milk tea. However, should the urge or occasion arise to go to a Bambu again, I wouldn't hesitate to come back to this one, especially so that I can give their Yoonami Drinks, Smoothies, and Ube Mochi Waffle a try! read more

Ordered 3 cups of Che and a waffle. Spent over 40 dollars and I guess they ran out of pandan jelly which was fine but she totally skimped the drink that she said she "had enough for" Normally idc but at 10 bucks a cup packed w ice and not much topping I personally think the one on Geary does a better take on it lol The pandan waffle was good read more

Bambu - #2 #3 n fruit addict - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Francisco, California

If you ever find yourself in Stonestown, do yourself a favor and scurry over to Bambu for your refreshment desires! Ordered a coffee milktea with boba and loved how they use crushed ice--didn't need a lot to keep the drink cold. Mmmm. (They also make pandan waffles and halo halo :0) There's a nearby banh mi shop in the same building that doesn't have seating, so our logic was to eat our banh mi at Bambu and complete the meal with a drink and some dessert while we were at it. It only made sense. The person working the front was very kind and welcoming. Also fyi, they have a buy 4 drinks, get a free pandan waffle promo on Wednesdays. 10/10 - already looking forward to our next visit :) read more

Bambu - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Francisco, California

San Francisco has many great dessert places to choose from and it all depends where you are located at the time you are craving something sweet or savory . When I am in the San Francisco's Sunset Strip I usually go to Polly Ann for some amazing ice cream or Pineapple King for a tasty pineapple bun. When I am at Stonestown I have tried every spot more than once. I thought I did try every place until I saw a place which was not on my radar which serves everything from Che Vietnamese Dessert to the Mango Halo Halo desserts along with milk tea located in the cuts of Stonestown on Beckingham Way at Bambu. On a Spring stroll Don Juan de la matcha was strolling along the Stonestown mall and ran into Bambu. Inside you can smell the waffles in the air and the scent drew me to try them. I first got the Pandan waffles which were green like matcha but it was savory and a bit crispy with more than a drop and a squirt of caramel syrup which made them delicious. I then ordered the Taro waffles which was bit sweeter but not too sweet and it too had some syrup. These purple colored waffles had good flavor but a bit flakey like some in SF. I had to try their Che Vietnamese dessert which was called Bơ Dầm also known as the Smashed Avocado. It looked like matcha but this dessert has some avocado along with boba and jelly. It was very thick , rich , and dense with lots of flavor. Lastly I had to tango with Mango tea and it was not too sweet but juicy and very refreshing. Overall a must try place to add to list of new places around Stonestown. Go on a Spring San Francisco stroll with Don Juan de la Matcha and "discover"a dessert place which is not the same as the "other" but what I "uncover "was these desserts at Bambu have hella flavor but are different with Che Vietnamese Desserts like the Smashed Avocado and the "Taro Lover" Bambu wasn't first on my radar but now I am "alert "about a place around Stonestown to get some tasty "dessert" with purple and green waffles with syrup with more than a drop or a "squirt" and this review of Bambu was brought to you by Don Juan de la matcha the San Francisco "expert" read more

Closer to home, finally. Glad to have Bambu open on this side of SF. It was packed when I went on a Monday afternoon. No lines but all tables - not that there were a lot, were occupied. Nice to have people actually sit down to have their Bambu fix. The lady working the register was really nice. They did not have some of the toppings due to a shipping delay however she was very kind to offer replacement even when I was not even her asking to. I will be coming back a lot for sure. read more

I came at noon & it wasn't busy at all. The boy at the cashier was funny and super helpful. It's bright inside and there is seating. I got bambi's favorite w half the portion of the toppings. I usually love it, however the coconut milk was overly chunky & chalky. I took two sips & threw it out bc it threw off the entire drink. read more

A hot day, calls for an ice cold drink from Bambu tucked away on the corner of Buckingham way and 20th Avenue. Ordered a large Bambu Favorite $9, has pandan jelly, red boba with water chestnuts and grass jelly with coconut milk. At 50% sugar, it was hardly sweet, 75% will be preferred next time. A great dessert drink to cool down with. read more

Love that a Bambu opened up closer to our home. Bambu Favorite #10 is my go to. Kiddo ordered Bambu Special #1. Good treats on a warm day. We also picked up taro and pandan waffles. I think these ones are bigger (thicker) than other Bambu spots that have them. They both arrived hot and have that mochi chewiness. Not too sweet and quite filling. The owner and staff were friendly as well. I'm sure we'll be visiting quite often. read more

This once banh mí sandwich shop near Stonestown Galleria was secretly replaced by Bambu, the same Vietnamese milk tea café that I used to check out in Geary Blvd of Outer Richmond. Thought I wait to buy just one banh mí sandwich, but never lost when I had a chance to try something new at Bambu. I have no words for its interior, but its customer service sounds sweet and easy going. I was better off choosing number 6, which was Chè Trái Cây. Every cup of chè requires a spoon rather than a straw alone. Mine had over eight surprising ingredients. Of all the following: coconut flesh, coconut milk, red tapioca, pandan jelly, jackfruits, palm seeds, agar agar jellos, and longans/lychee. That took about a frustrating 20 minutes wait before I absolutely head off inside Stonestown Galleria. Even after I had a nice cup of chè, I would expect a brain freeze. Spoonful after spoonful, I experienced a carnival of flavors. The next time I visit to have a different cup of chè, I choose vegan options or a smash avocado. read more

My friends and I finally got the chance to swing by Bambu in Stonestown. This seemed to be the old subway location but is much brighter than before and more welcoming. You can park in the garage on the second level if you need parking and just exit at the main entrance. Their store is located in the outside so you have to walk past the banh mi love place first. We were greeted immediately by the staff when we walked in n. You can either order from the kiosk or from the cashier. I didn't the cashier because I felt it was faster instead of just searching for what I wanted . I got the pandan waffles and my friends got the egg coffee. We sat down as we waited for our orders and the owner/manager Betty, came out to talk to us and even offered us a sample of the uve waffle. She even offered us water as we waited. For a second I felt I walked into a fancy restaurant. The pandan waffles was made to perfection and I loved the pandan flavor. I could've added chocolate syrup or fruits to this but I wanted it to be simple so I didn't added anything to both my waffles. Best to eat this warm ! The egg coffee was so good. I loved how strong it was! My friends found it strong too, so if you can't handle it , try to add more ice. This drink alone is worth coming back for! Overall, the service is top notch. And the place is super clean. I saw them cleaning the tables agree the customers left. We will definitely return! read more

Really nice staff and helpful! Delightful place and really good Vietnamese style drinks/desserts. My kids had big eyes when we were at this place. A comfortable vibe and good place to chill and chat over a halo halo. I really liked the texture differences on the halo halo, guit free gummy worms is what I attributed some of the jellies. Really fun dessert! read more

Forgot this location wasn't actually in the mall but at the corner near Pet Food. Went at 7pm on a weeknight almost during their closing time, and they were still able to accomodate making a pandan waffle. Drinks were good, fresh, and their waffle was big, crispy, but less chewy than the pandan waffles from Millbrae which I prefer more. Staff was friendly and super chill, tables are all new and clean. read more

Service was bad. I told the kid the kiosk wasn't working and that the payment reader had been circling for several minutes while trying to process the payment. His response was, "I don't know. I don't know anything. I don't know how the kiosk works besides shutting it down. Did you try waiting? Do you know if it charged you?" He then told me to keep waiting. I had already waited until I needed help, which is why I asked for assistance in the first place. He eventually turned the kiosk off and said nothing, other than seeming frustrated with me. I understand that he's a teenager and may not know how everything works, but the attitude and lack of help were still really disappointing. read more

Food and drinks are great and the spot is next to my gym. I do think they need to optimize how they're making the drinks because it's quite the wait every single time. It seems they need to hire another worker or maybe get a handle on their Uber Eats system. I also think the young workers need to be better trained on how to handle customers. As I'm sitting here waiting I can hear then cashier giving some pushback to a customer about a topping they ordered from the menu but somehow they're claiming the store does not carry it. I do think that's a miss on their part. If your store does not carry it then take it off the menu or maybe suggest providing a substitute for the customer's troubles. Secondly, if you're really busy and can't handle the orders then turn off the Uber ticketing system until you can catch up. I really want to support this place but it's hard to when they're not implementing simple fixes to simple issues. It would help them out so much with quality of service. read more

Bambu opened a new location right by Stonestown! It's across from the City Sports and the Pet Food Express. They have a variety of Vietnamese desserts drinks, teas, and waffles. The dessert drinks are all vegan and don't have dairy! They have a few tables and chairs, you can order from the kiosk or at the registers. I got the bambu combo that had red bean, mung bean, taro, boba, pandan jelly and coconut milk. It was delicious and refreshing! I enjoyed all the different things inside and it wasn't too sweet. Make sure to get a spoon if you get a dessert drink so you can eat all the goodies at the bottom. I also tried their pandan pancake which they make fresh. It was a vibrant green from the pandan, and tasty. It had a slightly chewy texture with that mild pandan flavor. So happy a spot like this opened by Stonestown! It's the perfect place to go if you want a sweet pick me up. read more

I came in to try a new drink. They have so many options, it's difficult to make a choice. I didn't want any of the elaborate drinks with 4-5 items in it, so stayed with the mango milk tea. It was delicious. Soft chunks of mango and not too sweet. Staff was nice. It wasn't busy in the early afternoon so service was quick. I might try one of the more elaborate ones next time but they're 350 calories. That's a meal. read more

Bambu - Mango milk tea was delicious - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Francisco, California

Bambu and their che drinks is a nostalgic place to me as I grew up going to the one in the Richmond. Apparently grand opening for this location was just this past weekend. It replaced the subway that used to be there, right across the street from city sports. They have the option of a self order kiosk or pay at the register. There is a transaction fee for paying with card though. Seating area has about 5 tables. Music was playing but not overly loud so I foresee people coming here to do work/chill. Only downside is no WiFi or outlets. Our order was ready fairly quick. The Vietnamese coffee was very sweet, since no option to adjust sweetness. I guess it would be good for people who don't like the bitter taste. Bambu special #1 had the option to adjust both sweetness and ice. Pandan mochi waffle was made to order and had a nice chewy consistency but wish I could taste the pandan more Nonetheless, glad to have something different out here near Stonestown! read more

Great place for dessert. Located outside of stonetown near city sport and sf fire credit union. They have many style of Che 'Vietnamese dessert' and smoothies but I usually get the number 6 fruit addict which is one my favorite. It comes with jelly, jackfruit, longan, lychee, coconut milk and so on. They also have snacks like waffle either taro or pandan flavor and macaroons. I had theire taro waffle, it takes a while to make if waiting in person. Its pretty thick but it was good. Friendly staffs. The place is small but they do have some tables if you like to hang out or while waiting for your dessert. Will definitely come back in newr future read more

First of all service here is top notch. The customer service is so great! It's a family owned business who truly cares and takes care of their customers. We had the Bambu special which was yummy. Not too sweet but plentiful. The taro lover drink is sooooo great. The taro mix is made in house and you can tell. It really tastes homemade almost like Filipino Ube! The coconut milk on top just makes the drink. The pandan and taro mochi waffles are also yummy. The store well lit and lively! The store super clean and welcoming.

Finally got to try the new Bambu near Stonestown! Place was super clean and bright. I got my usual order of Fruit Addict w/ 25% sweet and a pandan waffle. My friend got their Ube Halo Halo. I felt that mine didn't have too many jellies in it but I liked the fresh lychees and longan in it! The waffle was good and chewy and I like that they have a taro option too! My friends halo halo was sooo full of jellies, definitely worth it. I'll most likely be going here more often as I love bambu! You can't go wrong w/ any flavor here honestly. read more

We went to Bambu after a my kids class for a refreshing drink. The young lady at the counter was so patient as my 7 year old read every macaron flavor. It also took time for my kids to choose drinks but once we did, they were delivered shortly by the manager who was so warm and friendly. The space is clean and they are efficient. I ordered the Egg Coffee (Vietnamese coffee with egg foam), SO GOOD. Betty the manager, came by and offered more whipped cream in case it was too strong but I declined! It was soo good! Will be coming back to try other drinks! read more

Excellent service, and love that you have plenty of drink options. Great location next to the mall. Pandan waffle came out fresh and hot -- great Pandan flavor, nice bouncy interior with a good crisp crust. The drinks were a good level of sweetness with the coconut milk adding a nice richness. Good mix of inclusions in the drinks we ordered, and each added a nice component, whether the crisp lychee or the bouncy jellies. A number of tables inside, and happy they had a wheelchair accessible ramp. Will definitely come again. read more

surprisingly this is my first time having bambu since i have one back at my hometown too! the lady was sooo kind when serving my order. you can input it at the kiosk or at the register. they ran out of one of the ingredient for the Che, but was able to substitute with more of anything. so i ordered the fruit lover with basil seed replacement. it was a delicious and refreshing dessert that had all the pieces i enjoy. the fruits complimented the whole mixture with the coconut milk and it was easily enjoyable through a straw. the bigger fruit chunks needed to be ate with a spoon. i had a bite of a pandan waffle which was also fluffy and warm. very yummy and not too sweet. they're quick to serve and very accommodating, super appreciative to the staff for their friendliness! read more

I love Bambu! I was so surprised that there was a location at Stonestown and I didn't hear about it till recently, I always go to the San Jose Story Road location whenever I'm in the area and this place seems to offer similar options. My go-to is always the Vietnamese style yogurt drink with either Strawberry or Honeydew but this location only offered strawberry between the two. Service was very friendly and fast and I was informed by the staff that they offer a promo on Wednesdays, if you buy three drinks, you can get a free waffle! The Waffle is so nice and fluffy similar to Paris Baguette waffles. The inside of the store is very nice as well but because it's on the right of the wholefoods, it wasn't really too busy compare to Quickly inside the mall and this was after school time where all the kids get out. My recommendation is anyone who is going to any Bambu is try out Bambu Che which is a Vietnamese staple! Chelicious! read more

We were excited about this opening next to Stonestown. The Che was good, however the ice had already started to melt when we got it. The boba drinks were too sweet. I had to dilute it with more ice- but then again this is not a "boba" spot so it's understandable. Their mochi waffle was perfect and so delicious. I ordered not the pandan and ube.
