    Creme Brulee Crepe nutella Netulla Crepe

    I love their crepes so much! They have amazing texture and flavor. I haven't tried any of the drinks yet, but I will definitely be back to try more!

    Organic Matcha Matcha ($7.75) *Boba, Grass Jelly, Crystal Boba
    Elena N.

    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

    Chestnut Crepe
    Kat Y.

    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.

    Mont blanc
    Fancypants X.

    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.

    Creme brulee milk tea and Matcha mango latte
    Michele T.

    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.

    Ube and Chestnut Cake
    Rhea A.

    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.

    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Stephanie L.

    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.

    Creme brûlée milk tea 50% sugar, no ice and soy latte with no ice, 0% sugar.
    S Y.

    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.

    The Chestnut Oolong
    Shirley M.

    Warm evening so the family stopped by for some desserts. Our family ordered: 1 creme brûlée crepe 1 strawberry crepe 1 ube cake 1 chestnut oolong drink Everything was made beautifully and quickly. My favorite was the ube, it was so smooth, and reminded me of the yummy treats from Japan. The staff were kind and professional. We enjoyed each of our treats and will definitely be back soon! They currently have 2 promotions running. Buy one luxury crepe and get a second for $5.00 Buy one milk tea drink and get the second for $3.00

    Chestnut Crepe
    Maya V.

    Chestnut crepe: I loooove a chestnut montblanc. Fresh strawberries were a nice touch. Could have done without the ice cream. She aight. Crème brûlée milk tea: she's good but nothing special. Overall place was very small with very limited seating. Drinks came at a reasonable wait time. If I happen to be in the area, I'd go again.

    Food stand at Piedmont Food Fest
    Annabelle R.

    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.

    Passionfruit snow w salted cheese
    Shar T.

    I was glad they have salted cheese available. Next time I want to try the crepes and their decaf coffee drinks!

    Matcha Milk Tea
    Dominic N.

    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.

    Is it still cash only during COVID?

    Every time I've gone, they had a kiosk outside that you can order and pay with tap to pay and with card!

    Do they have non dairy milk option?

    What are the non caffeinated bubble tea options here?

    All tea (even decaf) has caffeine. However, they have non caffeinated drink options, including their slushees and yogurt drinks.

You can tell they use good ingredients, and the texture was super smooth--perfect for a warm day. Service was friendly and pretty efficient, even though it looked a bit busy. The overall vibe feels casual and comfortable, a nice place to just grab something and go or chill for a bit. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I wish the flavor had a little more depth or customization options, but overall still a solid choice. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.

There is some seating inside to hang out with friends while enjoying boba, but it is a bit cramp inside. Not much service - the employees do not really pay attention to you, so you may be waiting a good 10 minutes before they take your order, so I recommend ordering online. I ordered a Purple Kow Milk Tea with boba and grass jelly. The milk tea tasted a bit sour like an aftertaste, so that was a bummer. For about $9 for that size, it would had definitely been worth it, if the drink was good or even decent. Also, I ordered online and it still took almost half an hour to get just 1 drink.

The drink took about 25-30 minutes to be prepared so don't come in a hurry!! I inserted the straw into the bottom of my cup and sucked. Nothing came out. I had to suck with more strength, due to the thick consistency of the drink. Finally, a gelatinous, slimy and sort of sweet substance came out of the tip of the straw. You do have to work for it due to the thickness of the drink, it's not liquidy. The actual matcha had a strong and smooth taste but to be honest was a little too concentrated which made it a bit astringent. This drink was truly a journey for the mouth. Usually a drink is about taste but this one was much more about tactility, or at least that's how it felt. Unfortunately the substance seemed to leave a strange metallic, unpleasant aftertaste that lasted for quite a while after finishing the drink. Texture: interesting taste:2.5 , it was new to me but i wouldn't have it again aftertaste : gross The next drink ordered was some sort of blue mango coconut concoction. Every menu item had a grandiose name so i'm not sure the exact one but it was a mango coconut slush. They white jelly substance was back and taking charge in the bottom of the drink. Along with the strange substance was a plethora of white tasteless balls. Not like traditional boba, but not bad. the flavor of the drink was good, a bit too coconuty for my liking but it was fine. The real problem was the radio of (balls + substance) : drink... way too high! i barley had any sips that had more drink then texture additives. The taste was good, but texture was off, and my stomach was not too happy after ingesting the whole thing in about 10 minutes.
