I saw BB Tea pop up in my search results a while ago. It's so close to me, but somehow I never got around to going until recently. It's not in Taraval or Irving, which are the really popping streets with the L or N muni respectively, so I never had much reason to hit up Noriega. However, when there was a lull at work and I was hitting the afternoon slump, I remembered this spot and decided to stop by for a quick pick-me-up. I ordered a passionfruit green tea with pearls from the in-store kiosk. It was basically ready on-demand. As soon as I went through the prompts on the screens and paid, it was ready. The tea didn't come with any passionfruit seeds or pulp, so I suspect it was just passionfruit flavored. However, it was pretty cheap by SF standards, so you get what you pay for I guess. I had requested 50% sweetness and no ice, and it was just right and well balanced. read more

The drinks looked exactly like the photos on the menu, which was amazing! Everything about our drinks was great--from the presentation to the taste. We took advantage of their special promotion: Buy 1 drink and get the second one for $3 off (must be the same item), which made the visit an even better value. Service: Fast and efficient. Kiosks Ordering and payment were quick and easy. Credit cards are accepted. Atmosphere: Relaxing environment with upbeat music playing in the background. There is limited indoor seating, with about 3 small tables and 6 chairs available. Value: The prices are very reasonable, especially for San Francisco boba and milk tea lovers. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty drinks, good deals, and friendly service. read more

Came to BB Tea two separate times and both times were great! I ordered a crème brûlée milk tea with boba at 50% sugar the first time and a strawberry milk green tea with boba and lychee jelly at 75% sugar the second time. Both of the drinks were really yummy. You order off a kiosk and it's really easy to order. The staff prepared my drink quickly both times. Overall would definitely come back! read more

A little hidden gem in the sunset! Delicious drink and amazing staff. My favorite thing to order is the matcha bliss, it's creamy, smooth, and has a bold matcha flavor. I get mine at 50% and it's perfect. Highly recommend this place for all their drinks! They also have snacks and the viral Mont Blanc that is rare to find in the Bay Area. They have an Ube flavor and Chestnut cake flavor. Go check them out!! read more

Great variety from drinks, dessert (Japanese crepes and monbloncs). There is also 2 specials going on: buy 1 drink and get 2nd drink for $3 (selected drink only, can add toppings) and buy 1 speciality crepe get second speciality crepe for $5. Ordered the drink deal: a creme brulee milk tea, one with boba and red bean, total was $10. Took a couple minutes to make drink. Cute interior design, but unfortunately there's only one table, so definitely a to go place. Creme brûlée (I think it tasted like custard creme) makes a cool swirl, but was stuck to the cup, wished the creme was more incorporated in the drink. Boba was a bit soft. Overall, a really great price for your boba fixes. Definitely will try the crepes next since it smelled really good at the shop. read more

Date: Monday, April 28th, 2025 Meal: Boba Delivery Delivered: via DoorDash DoubleDash Time Ordered: around 5pm Time Delivered: about 1.25 hours later Delivered to: Outer Richmond Organic Matcha Matcha ($7.75) *Boba, Grass Jelly, Crystal Boba I'm not sure why it took over an hour to deliver a boba that was just across the park, but I'm afraid the integrity of the boba suffered from the transit time. I know it's not the fault of the shop, so I am taking that info consideration. Despite the toppings, the tea itself was just okay. Didn't have that bright fresh grassy matcha flavor I adore. It was kinda murky and dull. A little weak as well, so I added more match I had at home. Maybe I'll try a tea next as their matcha is just A-OK. REVIEW #3761 read more

Not many places have chestnut special , as soon as I saw that I decided to give a try. I got chestnut cake and crepe. I don't think I will buy again, chestnut flavor was just a bit not quite there, and I don't like their crepe texture either, I used to get them from Japan town and I think I like those a lot better. I may still give a try of the boba tea next time. And worth noting for anyone interested, they have some kind of special if you purchase a gift card for certain value they will load free credit onto it , the lowest amount is $30 +$5 free credit. read more

I rarely write negative reviews because I genuinely want to support small businesses in my neighborhood, but my experience here today was disappointing enough to warrant feedback. I came in at 3:00 PM today (Saturday). There was only one other customer in the shop ordering a crepe and no visible to-go orders. I ordered a single fruit tea, expecting it to be a quick stop. After waiting over 20 minutes, I finally approached the counter to check on it, only to find the staff had completely forgotten the order. While they apologized and asked me to wait another 5 minutes to make the drink, the delay was entirely avoidable given how quiet the shop was. Beyond the wait, there were some noticeable operational and professional issues: - Staff Dynamics: There were two employees working. The male staff member spent most of the time in the back and occasionally popping out to direct the female staff member to make crepes and handle tasks before retreating to the kitchen area. I had to explicitly prompt him about my missing order before he stepped in to make the drink. - Workplace Professionalism: When checking on the delay, I noticed opened containers of alcohol in the kitchen area. An occasional forgotten order happens, but the combination of a 20-minute wait in an empty shop and a lack of professionalism behind the counter was highly frustrating. I hope management takes this feedback as an opportunity to review their staffing practices and service standards. read more

3.5 stars. After learning of Mont Blanc on my recent Paris vacation, I came back to SF & started randomly seeing the dessert on offer. Why didn't I notice it before? This must be the phenomenon known as frequency illusion. We were having lunch nearby when I peeped BB Tea. I planned on stopping in for a drink, but upon seeing Mont Blanc Chestnut Cake on the menu, all thoughts of milk tea went out the window. Their version has vermicelli-like strands of chestnut purée over ice cream, cheesecake, & whipped cream. An ube version is also available. The cheesecake competes with the flavor of the chestnut & makes the dessert creamy on top of creamy. There was an abundance of fruit in my bf's Strawberry Crepe; the thin pancake cone was freshly made & had a satisfying crinkly exterior. With my Mont Blanc curiosity quelled, I may come back to give their tea drinks a try, but I won't go out of my way for it. read more

BB Tea has a great promotion going on right now where your second drink is $3 (only for select options). I was excited to see that their Creme Brulee Milk Tea is included in this promotion since that is my favorite go-to drink whenever it is an option at boba shops! Service was great; the employee was friendly and kindly allowed me to order the second Creme Brulee Milk Tea in person under the promotion after I ordered my first drink for pick-up on the Fantuan Delivery app. This shop is also Cantonese friendly -- the employee spoke both English and Cantonese. This was one of my favorite creme brulee milk teas! This drink stood out and was one of my favorites because it had cream layered throughout in addition to a creme brulee toping with torched sugar. I often see creme brulee drinks that have either the creme brulee topping with plain milk tea OR only cream layered throughout without a creme brulee topping, so this was a fantastic treat. Overall, I enjoyed the quality of the drink and the great service! read more

Kiddo wanted a sweet treat. He ordered the ube cake - he liked the ube part and thinks the cake part was like a cheesecake which he said was ok. Ordered the creme brulee milk tea at 50% sweetness. The cream part was good but the tea part could've been stronger. read more

Can't remember why I had this place bookmarked, but I'm so thankful for friends that help you check things off your Yelp bookmarks. We ordered the Ube and Chestnut cake. You know it's delicious when you say "It's not too sweet." The perfect amount of sweetness (at least for my Filipino self.) I loved the cakey texture and frosting richness. It was the perfect amount - I didn't feel overwhelmed afterwards. Would 10/10 recommend checking this spot out. read more

BB Tea - Ube and Chestnut Cake - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Decided to stop by after seeing they had the Mont Blanc dessert which seems to be a big Japanese (at least touristy) thing I keep seeing on YouTube. The ube flavored squiggles on the top were the only good thing about this dessert (and the reason for the 2 stars instead of 1). The rest was disappointing and somewhat gross. The whipped cream was of the dairy free overly sweet variety. The ice cream I believe was vanilla and was almost gummy (I get it - cheap ice cream = more profit). And the cheesecake bites were frozen solid and didn't taste great once I could finally eat it. Altogether wasn't much better. I ended up just eating the top and tossing the rest. The strawberry matcha wasn't much better. Usually one of my favorites at several other boba places, this one was bitter (not in a good balanced matcha way, in an overpowering way) and strangely sour at times (I'm guessing from the strawberries, but I assumed those were in a sugar syrup). It also tasted quite watery. Lastly, the boba was HARD. So utterly disappointing. Will not be returning. At least the place was clean and service was fine. read more

Soy latte was expensive for a small cup ($7 not including boba), but the creme brûlée was on the cheaper side. Nice swirl on the creme brûlée cup. The soy latte cream layer was a bit thick. I did like the soy bean powder. They forgot to add the boba that I paid for but luckily I noticed it, and they added it back. They had plastic and bamboo straw options, but unfortunately, the bamboo straws kept cracking. read more

Tried the strawberry crepe from BB Tea's food stand, while attending the Piedmont Food Fest this past Saturday. It was delish! The thin pancake-like texture, filled with cold and creamy vanilla ice cream, topped off with fresh strawberries and sliced bananas... it was a nice little treat on a beautiful afternoon in Piedmont. The service could be a little better. There were five workers in the tent, and a large crowd of people waiting out front. The wait for my order to be ready was about 15-20 minutes... prior to that, I even stood at the order window for a bit before being acknowledged or helped. Beyond the slow service, I felt that these handheld sweet treats were a bit pricey for what you get. But the product was really good, and at least the staff was friendly, so 4 stars seems appropriate. Glad this SF tea and dessert shop could make it out to this event. read more

I really liked: $6 Matcha Milk Tea cold/ hot + Solid non franchised boba shop. The cold matcha is slightly grainy but has great boba. The hot matcha solves the graininess issue but then the boba chewiness is worse. It's got great flavor either way Very #goodeats but not my absolute favorite. Cute interior too. Very inviting as well walked past it. Super standard iPad service. Just order your stuff and they'll call your name. read more

Matcha not good, slow service, small portions. The drink is really small and i drank it very fast for 8 dollars.

Went in at the end of the day. Ordered from their kiosks and my drink was simple of green tea/lychee flavor add on with lychee jelly. Also a green tea/strawberry flavor. When I got the drink, I can tell you that it's a simple drink. The product I got was expensive for the mediocre drinks. Very bland, very boring taste and definitely not worth it. I think we are in that place and time where I can go anywhere to get this. I just am very confuse to what am I drinking from this place. The service is nonexistent since it's a kiosks I am active with. The only thing that places like this now teaches new generation to not interact with ppl properly. Saying thank you is easy but you will often not get it. Ppl that work in this service for some odd reason now. Their mentality is that they don't need to be nice and do whatever they feel like we need them to survive when it's vice versa. With thousands of choices to choose from. We don't need this arrogant attitude. The ambiance is dull and most lifeless. Like I said, you can find a much better place than here with better drinks and attitude. read more

I had been wanting to come here and try their Japanese crepes. We decided to make a little post-lunch stop here, got a couple of drinks and decided to share their creme brulee crepe. You order at the kiosk instead of at the counter. There was a little hiccup regarding the order workflow - the kiosk showed all the crepes were out of stock. At first, we were super disappointed because that's the main reason why we came but luckily, I asked a staff member to confirm they were really out of stock and she said that was a mistake and that they actually had everything on order. She had to click a button on her end to refresh the kiosk and then we started our order over again. My husband got the matcha milk tea - when ordering, the closest option we could find to traditional boba was the popping boba (we checked twice), so he opted for that by default. However, he ended up not being a fan of the popping boba, he would have preferred the regular boba. Perhaps it was just another glitch in their ordering system not allowing for this custom option? I got the jasmine green salted cheese, only 25% sweet, and it was a creamy yet light, refreshing drink. For our crepe, it was a little confusing how to order this as one of the first things it asks us is if we want to add some toppings to it, such as ice cream, which I did. So I chose that option, which added an extra $1 to the order. It was only after ordering everything and paying that I noticed on the menu, the crepe description is written as coming with ice cream. So apparently I paid $1 for an extra scoop of ice cream? Not the case as I didn't get any extra ice cream. Not that I needed the extra scoop but I like to get what I paid for. The crepe itself was yummy - fresh custard with the caramelized sugar on top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream underneath, all wrapped up in a freshly made crepe with cut-up fresh strawberries. It was a yummy treat to enjoy. read more

A little Mom & Pop bubble tea shop in the Sunset. We ate dinner next door and thought we'd give it a try. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tea drinks at a very reasonable price. Had: - Cheese Foam Black Tea with Black Grass Jelly add-on. $5.25 base and $0.75 addition. Plenty of cheese foam and grass jelly. - Hot Green Tea Ginger Milk Tea with Boba. $5.25 base and $0.75 addition. Nice and hot with bits of REAL ginger. - Bought a $2.50 bag of cookies. Worth the price for this bag of reengineered cookies - a cross between an ores and a macaron... weird but cheap and sweet. Inexpensive and worth the price for well-made drinks and cookies. I forgot to take pics of the drinks and cookies - apologies. I'd definitely go back when in the neighborhood and need a non alcoholic drink or some sweets. Take out with one small window table. read more

We got the brown sugar milk tea and crème brûlée milk tea. The drinks' presentations were pretty and I was quite excited to give a local boba shop a try. The brown sugar milk tasted a bit too watered down for my liking. For my sweet tooth, the boba was not sweet enough. The biggest anticipation was the crème brûlée drink since they torched it and looked good. The drink however tasted more like whipped cream than crème brûlée. The ordering process was super simple and it's all through a kiosk. There weren't a lot of people when we were there, but the boba took 7-10 minutes to prepare. read more

It looks like this place is well known for the crepes but my husband and I ordered matcha milk tea and the brown sugar milk tea with slated cheese. It took some time till we got our drinks. This place is for to-go since there aren't table and chairs for people to drink inside. There was small seating/ waiting area but that was it. The tastes is basic. Nothing too special, the boba was alright. I would try different places instead of coming back to this place. Trying this place once was enough for me. read more

They were efficient with their service and our orders didn't take long.

Came during a late afternoon and there was no line. Ordered through the kiosk and drinks were made fast. The drinks were good, enough to satisfy a craving - we didn't get boba so I can't say whether the boba itself was good or not. We got the creme brûlée and strawberry drinks, both 50% sweet. They both were accurate in sweetness and had good flavor, not artificial tasting. I wouldn't say this place is anything crazy but they do it well enough where I would come back if I'm in the area! There's not much seating inside so be ready to take to go. read more

Must get the creme brûlée crepe when you're here! It is so good! Skip the to go cup. We paid $0.25 for it thinking it would be some special cup to help us eat on the go but it was just placed in a drink cup and made it harder to take out/eat out of it. There's also strawberries and vanilla ice cream inside too. Some of the strawberries were sour but the sweetness of the creme brûlée balances it out. The drinks were okay, nothing too special but I would definitely come back for the crepes again. read more

I had a big lunch with family, then a big dessert with friends. I told myself - no dinner, too full. But then I saw the poster ad of the Creme Brulee Crepe which stopped my walk to the car. I said to son, "I have to get this!" The crepe was soft, filled with custard and sliced strawberries, topped with a burnt candied sugar crust. Not too sweet as Japanese dessert ought to be; the tartness of the fruit was a nice complimentary touch. I would buy it again, but will try the chestnut flavor. read more

Came in here on a early afternoon Tuesday since we were early for pick up. I got the crème brûlée and the ube cheese came I believed. The crème was good at the top but towards the middle there was frozen strawberry and a weird old tasting vanilla ice cream. I was only able to eat the top since the crepe itself has a raw flavorless taste to it. As far as the ube, I would get it neither since it has like the old flavorless vanilla ice cream with a tiny bit of cheese cake. Please don't mention the top since I though it was ice cream but it's actually food color dough if that make sense. Pretty expensive for two items that doesn't use fresh ingredients to be honest. Don't let the picture fool you! read more

Not sure what was going on here the last time I went. There was a ton of middle school(?) aged kids that crowded this place at 2pm and I'm pretty sure it was some daycare/after school program and these kids were acting up. I think there were roughly 15-20 of these kids. Literally spilling drinks and leaving their straw wrappers everywhere. Throwing napkin wads at each other. It was literally a zoo. The people in the back were in no hurry to clean up anything. Not that these misbehaved, sugar rush kids have any reflection on the business--but BB Tea should consider re-implementing how many customers are allowed inside at a time. I could tell the employees were stressed with the excessive amount of blended drink orders coming through. They are absolute saints here for not telling these kids to behave better! On another note, once they were done catering to the kids, they fell short on my drink. I got the creme brulee tea and they forgot the boba I asked for, and the drink had no creme brulee torched sugar like last time. I also asked for no ice and... they gave me ice. With the dirty environment the kids left, a very long, almost 20 minute wait, and not getting my order correct-- I'll consider other boba spots in the future. read more
