10. Bambu Favorite
Bill P.

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.

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!

Ordered doordash at this place. Been to other bambu locations & first time ordering here. I paid $10 for their smashed avocado that came in only half filled. Other locations I've been to is filled all the way. Ordered here for me & my coworkers and we were all disappointed.

Glad they opened another Bambu in the city! Prime location, with plenty of available parking. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. My go to is the smashed avocado and pandan waffles. Soooo delish! ;)

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

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 :)

Loved trying Bambu! So many great drinks and combos to try soon. We were blown away. Wish we drank it slower though bc at the end it was mostly just ice and jelly lol lesson learned for next time

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.

Hello Hello ( Halo Halo) Mango tango

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"

Large Bambu favorite $9 - 9/23/25
Elaine Y.

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.

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.

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.

Chè Trái Cây.
Jimmy C.

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.

Strong tea taste? Check. Tasty boba pearls? Check…read more Small business? Sign me up! Quarters Teahouse is what it is, a teahouse that makes teas. Their traditional tea drinks (Jasmine, Oolong, etc) are all safe orders, and all possess a strong tea flavor, similar the likes of Molly tea but not as floral, compared to most boba shops in the city. I've been here a couple times, and ordered their Jasmine and Oolong teas respectively. They were both excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed every sip. 75% sweetness is the way to go for those who order less sugar, but it can be lowered to 50% if you're more of a tea person. They also respect your ice level, which is always a plus. The boba pearls are bouncy, chewy, and flavorful, and I have yet to nom on one bad one. The quality is consistent, unlike some boba chains in the city. It seems other Yelpers have had mixed reviews with their other drinks, but judging by the name, you come here for milk teas. There are matcha places that specialize in matcha. Come in for milk teas, and leave with happy taste buds!

Quarters Teahouse is known for being one of the better T/Boba shops in San Francisco…read more It's a small little shop, and it's definitely not Customer Service forward. When you walk in you place your order at one of two screens, you pay, and you wait for your order. Someone from the back eventually magically appears places your drinks and/or food items on the counter, and that's the most interaction you'll have with anyone that works there. If you have questions about many items, there's no one to ask. If you need to make a change to a new item, you can't. Whatever is listed on the screen is what you see is what you get. We ordered Matcha and it definitely was better than other Matcha tea that I've had but it also wasn't spectacular. What I ordered again? From here, yes. The Matcha flavor was smooth, which is not always something that other tea houses managed to do We ordered the egg puffs: one in double chocolate, and the other one in Oreo. The Oreo is definitely a hard pass. The filling was pretty nonexistent, and what was there virtually did not taste like anything let alone Oreo. The double chocolate was a surprise hit. They definitely needed more filling, but they were better than the Oreo. Since these are handmade, it's totally controllable and it just tasted like little to no effort was put into them. The chocolate had the perfect amount of sweetness, and it went oddly well with the Matcha. There are a couple of barstools next to an extremely narrow little table that hadn't been cleaned. The space is not necessarily unusual for San Francisco, it's just not a comfortable space.
