Dale S.

We stopped at this little food court area as we were walking Let's Glow to grab some drinks and a bite to eat. This location calls itself Boba and Brew but they have very few options for tea. I ordered a "classic milk tea" with light ice and it was about $6. There was only one other customer and it took longer to get the tea than it did to get my food from another truck in the area. This was hands down one of the worst milk teas I've ever had. It tasted like someone had brewed a weak cup of tea and left it out until it was room temperature and then added some powdered creamer to it. I'm not sure how new this business is but they need to work on their customer service and quality of product.

Came here for coffee at 11am (after spring forward). They use Equator coffee and they do a pour over. The coffee tastes very good -- the person was very generous with cream so if you like it light, be specific with them. It took a good few minutes to get coffee as they were just getting going and they grind the coffee after I ordered. Overall, cute spot.

Thai tea and ube tea

Quick Summary: - Located where the temporary bus terminal used to be I recall years ago, when I took the bus from the Bay Area to San Francisco, it drove into this large depot called the temporary bus terminal. Currently, all buses moved to the Salesforce park, so just the same I haven't gone here since its move. How I discovered this place was this app. My colleagues and I wanted boba but wanted to try something new than the ones near our office. We took a long and fun walk along the walk -- longer than our usual places -- and into this space. It still kept the physical remnants of the bus terminal, such as the cross walk and the crossing button that has no use anymore. It reminds me of Spark SF because the space was replaced as a sport activity like venue with some food trucks parked on another corner of space. Our destination today was to the boba place, so we walked past the miniature soccer fields and tennis or pickleball courts. We arrived here past 3pm, so it felt like the busy boba hours have passed. The staff there also assumed the same; there was only one person handling the order and making the drinks. The speed would be average, but unfortunately, my colleague team was large, so the orders took some time to complete. (I was relieved that there were no one after us, as expected, we did come at a slow boba hour) I ordered a Thai tea because that day. It was a refreshing drink with a creaminess of milk. Generally, I like how this space was repurposed, so I would need to visit here again.

The fruit teas were actually very refreshing, particularly the Lychee fruit tea and the seasonal Red Guava fruit tea. They're all artificially flavored with syrups fyi. And their Classic Milk Tea is real but it's pretty bland and tastes more like milk then a milk tea.

Thai iced tea with coconut jelly
Iris J.

Location was super easy to access, we were walking and came across it. Menu is limited, but the item we did order was amazing. They ran out of boba and were in the process of making more, so we settled for coconut jelly with our Thai iced tea and it happened to be an awesome accidental combination. Prices were a little steep for the only small-ish size they offer, but it's SF, so I guess that's to be expected. There are also plenty of lunch style benches for seating, and they were all clean. The service was fast and friendly, and the drink was probably some of the best Thai tea we've had in a long while, we will likely return.

Mango Smoothie

Good service and nice ambiance Mango smoothie tasted very yummy, and the price was reasonable!

The coffee bar

Service is great!! I even got a sample of the boba... and their coffee is awesome. And the kind gesture of the cashier and chat we had was sweet.

Strawberry fruit tea

Beautiful boba and coffee bar right next to pickle ball courts. A block away from Salesforce Park and transit terminal. My Strawberry boba was perfect and my buddy loved the Ube taro boba.

Parking is very difficult, especially on Friday but worth the trouble of parking further and walk over. Every time I tell myself that I will get something else. I end up getting my love - Coconut Mango Boom. Especially when Mango is in season right now! It's such a refreshing, light and delicious drink. I'm mildly lactose and my stomach is totally happy and in agreement with coconut milk. I also had a sip of my friend's matcha latte. It was very smooth and not water down matcha like other places. Download the app and order in advance. There is only one kiosk in the store and this location is super busy and popular.

First time trying this place because they had a mango sticky rice drink on their menu. Then the…read morecreme brûlée drink caught my eye too. I ended up wanting to try both. Creme Brûlée was beyond amazing, and I can see why it's one of their most ordered drinks :) the mango sticky rice was kind of a disappointment. It just tasted like mango juice mixed with rice milk, and a few grains of rice. After trying it from other places, I just expected more sticky rice in the drink. Highly recommend the creme brûlée though! The pudding bits were my favorite part. I went in the evening around 6pm and was lucky enough to find parking right out front. It wasn't too busy inside and I was able to place my order on the tablet fairly quickly. Once placed, my drinks came out pretty quick. If you wish to enjoy your drink inside, there's plenty of seating. Mostly hard wooden chairs and one corner with softer cushion seats, if that's what you prefer.

We didn't have to wait in line to order, but all of the tables inside were packed. I was in need of something light and refreshing, so I decided to try the lychee IPA (non-alc). My drink was prepared promptly, and it immediately quenched my thirst. The lychee flavor tasted fresh, and its sweetness was tempered by the subtle hops flavor. The drink was also lightly carbonated with just the right amount of fizz. The menu wasn't as extensive as those of the larger, more established boba shops, and I wish there had been more fruit-flavored teas - especially for the summer. Nevertheless, I can't wait to try other tea varieties on my next visit.

I walked about 30 minutes and arrived too early as the store did not open until noon. I walked out to Geary Blvd. and there was a lot of construction as I explored the area. I returned with only 14 minutes left before opening. The lady opening the store was raising the blinds on the windows facing the street. She unlocked the door shortly after noon and directed me to the kiosk to order. I knew I wanted the peach oolong milk tea at 75% sweet with no ice. It had been quite windy on the walk. Because of a coconut allergy in the family I had to ask if the popular mango pomelo sago had any coconut. Unfortunately, it has coconut (milk or oil?). As soon as I heard coconut, it was a no go. I wasn't familiar with pomelo and the lady told me it was like grapefruit. I still wanted to order a mango drink and went instead with the mango smoothie also 75% sweet with less ice. The customer following me asked about alternative milks which they do have. I overheard that they have oat and almond milk. Both drinks were excellent. The milk tea was not too sweet and I appreciated the peach bits in the drink. The mango smoothie was really creamy.

The menu seemed pretty standard with classic milk and fruit teas with a few seasonal specialties. We placed our order at the kiosk and waited almost 15 minutes for our drinks despite being the only customers in the shop. I ordered the mango pomelo sago drink since it was one of the few caffeine-free drinks on the menu, and it was tasty! The mango + pomelo + milk was an unexpected combination, but the sweet + tangy + creamy flavors paired together surprisingly well. I also liked the textural elements from the sago and fresh pomelo and mango. My mom and brother also really liked their fruit teas, so we will most likely be back soon.
