    K1. Mango Shaved Ice
    Tiffany P.

    Tried their $10 mango bingsoo and it's actually pretty good. Mango was sweet and ripe, but there was too little of it. My friend and I shared it, and we ran out of mango pretty quickly. I'm glad they switched from sliced to cubed mango. They pump some mango syrup in the bottom and on top, which was not bad. The snow itself is surprisingly really good. It was milky and delicate like it should be. Not icy. It comes with some clear jellies as well. I think it'd be better to serve this in a bowl--less messy. Hope they come out with more flavors, like melon! It's a small spot. There were two small round tables to sit down in and some seating at the countertop facing the sun. WiFi provided.

    Thank you Cherylynn (Yelp Legendary All-Star) for letting me know about the new boba shop finally opening. Boil Tea replaced the previous boba tenant, D7N. The previous shop's employees were nice people. The new shop, Boil Tea, is a good boba/desert shop. They offer various milk tea, sago, yogurt and fruit drinks. I didn't see any coffee drinks available. As for food, they have crepes, shaved ice and waffles. Today, I tried their matcha azuki bean crepe $10 and an iced milk tea $5.75. Both were OK. Less milk would have been nice. Service is faster than before. There's an option to order via ipad in the corner. I prefer ordering to a person because I dislike boba in my milk tea. There's free wifi and the password is next to the cashier. Welcome to the neighborhood Boil Tea.

    Fast and friendly service and the shop itself is comfy enough to hang out and enjoy a dessert but only seats about 10. We ordered: C3 Milk Oolong Tea with Boba: Boba tasted fresh, soft and chewy. Even though the drink looked super milky the flavor of the oolong tea shined. D4 Mango Pomelo Sago: Comes as a mango slush with coconut milk, mango, sago, AND jelly B6 Scented Aroma Lemon Tea: Super refreshing and tea was brewed well. The lemon flavor was really distinct and fresh, almost herby. D2 Strawberry Yogurt: Strawberry slush and yogurt that comes with with jelly K3 Taro Shaved Ice: Super fluffy shaved ice that had tons of fresh taro both on top and on the bottom. If you're the type of person who prefers the bright purple taro milk teas over the fresh taro drinks, I'd still give this a try - it has the perfect balance! J3 Matcha Azuki Bean Crepe: Just like the taro, it tasted like the red bean filling was good quality and balanced in flavor, not overly sweet or too overprocessed/smooth. The matcha sauce was smooth without any bitterness while still being strong in matcha flavor. We were very happy with all of our drinks. We were split on which dessert we all preferred, but agreed that they were both delicious! The only two things I might want to see changed are that the shaved ice doesn't sit well in the wire cone it comes in and gets messy, and I didn't taste any pomelo in the mango pomelo sago. We'll definitely be back to try other things, and especially want to try one of the savory crepes.

    My daughter was craving milk tea, so I came across this Boil Tea on Mission Street on my way home. We ordered Classic Milk Tea and Mango Shaved Ice. They were pretty good. I ordered the milk tea via the UberEats app for pickup, and it was ready in just 10 minutes.

    New business alert!!! I came here to try their drinks and it didn't disappoint. It tastes great! I am a person who has horrible taste buds but I can really taste the blend of tea and flavor mixed well. I will be coming back. Shop ambiance is great they seem to have just remodeled

    menu

    Went to this establishment with high hopes since all the drinks looked lovely and I got the Mango Pomelo Sago. It was like a slushy but it tasted like very watered down mango, it was like I was drinking ice with no hint of mango,very flavorless. The place itself looked very clean and nice. From reading other reviews I'd still maybe go back and try maybe a milk or fruit tea.

    Mango croffle

    Super cute spot! The mango croffle was crispy, creamy, and loaded with fresh mango. Boba milk tea hit the spot too--perfectly chewy and not too sweet. Will be back!

    I LOVE the Coconut Mango Boom! It's always consistent and hits the spot…read more I love watching the workers hustle and get drinks out. They work together as a team and everyone knows their role. Service is always amazing here. They call out drink numbers as they're ready and will ask if you need a bag. Store is bright and well managed. Sometimes there's a long wait time for drinks, but download the app and preorder! You can also earn discounts and freebies! (Purchase giftcards and load into your app to earn more points!) I appreciate this location even more after my experience at Stonestown (it's a shitshow there)

    we've heard a lot of great things about heytea and wanted to see if it lived up to the hype! the…read moreshop can get pretty crowded, especially on weekends or evenings, but i've been lucky a few times with no line at all. you can also order for pickup on the app instead, which saves you the wait, but keep in mind that the estimated pickup time can be incorrect when it's busy. i once waited ~40 minutes for an order that was supposed to be done in 15 minutes. heytea has a limited menu, which mostly focuses on fruity drinks, although there are a few milky options. - crisp grape boom (3.5/5): tasted like fresh red grapes, although i would've liked even more of a grape flavor. it was like a half-melted popsicle, but i thought it would've tasted better if it were all one consistency - either a slush or a juice. i did like the grape bits in it! - mango grapefruit boom (4/5): i enjoyed how fresh the mango flavor was, but there wasn't that much mango in the drink. it was full of toppings, especially the coconut pudding and sago, and it tasted mostly like coconut. there was some grapefruit pulp, but not a ton. it would've been great with more mango. this was also more watery than most mango sago drinks i've had - coconut mango boom (4.5/5): it would've been perfect if it were less watery! it had an even balance between coconut and mango, which i loved. there was a huge difference in flavor between the mango grapefruit and the coconut mango boom, even though the only thing different was the grapefruit. i could actually taste the mango in this one - supreme brown sugar bobo milk tea (4/5): very light for a brown sugar milk tea but also didn't really taste like one. i could taste the black milk tea, and there was some initial brown sugar flavor where it pooled at the bottom but then disappeared. the cheese cloud topping was really tasty - lightly sweet and salty. i didn't think the drink was too sweet at regular sweetness, but i could've gotten it less sweet. the brown sugar bobo (boba) was chewy but really on the softer end - matcha cloud jasmine latte (4/5): really great jasmine flavor, but the matcha was very subtle. i barely tasted the matcha at all! it was very light for a milk tea and perfectly sweet at less sweet - green grape boom [seasonal] (4.5/5): i liked this one more than the crisp grape boom because it had more grape flavor. it was also watery but more of a slush than the crisp grape boom. i loved the chunks of green grapes in it! - mulberry strawberry boom [seasonal] (4/5): good fruity flavor, which was light and perfectly sweet. i didn't enjoy it as much as the grape drinks because the seeds in the berries would get caught in my teeth and i didn't like the tartness as much, but it was exactly as advertised. it did have a prominent mulberry flavor and lots of pulp if ordering on the app, toppings are added at the very bottom by tapping on the topping and then adding it to a drink. the brown sugar bobo (boba) is softer than what i like, but it's still chewy and not bad. the fat-free bobo pops (crystal boba) are good, and the clouds (creams) are pretty thick. overall, heytea uses fresh high quality ingredients, but i do think they're a little overhyped. the fruity drinks are definitely better than the milky drinks. i like that they include calorie counts and indicate the ingredients in each drink, and the drinks in general taste healthier than other boba stores!

When I was healthier, I would stop by 2 to 3 times a week on my way back from the pool I do physical therapy at for a smoothie or a vegan oat milk tea, and occasional less healthy delicious treat on my splurge day! Everything my husband and I have had there is delicious, I have tried so many things. Their eggettes are the best in the neighborhood, the matcha is my favorite. Their seasonal food and drinks are always awesome and so tasty. The soft serve is dangerously delicious with the best flavors and seasonal sundaes. The staff is great - kind, friendly, helpful, etc. etc etc. As is the ambiance, the great music, and fun claw machines, merchandise, etc. What a wonderful gem in our neighborhood. I forgot to add the reason I like it so much is because you can adjust the sweetness level, they have more than one alternative vegan milk, and lots of ways to customize your order. Most smoothies and milk teas are way too sweet for me. I do 25% and it is perfect! You can also customize your toppings, which type of boba or other extras you want as well!

Inside Jade and Java Cafe there is some seating and a menu of coffee and tea drinks. I decided to try their Vietnamese coffee. The Salted Crème Viet coffee was smooth and tasty. It was a bit salty like some in SF but worth trying again. Then got their Coconut Matcha which has creamy and a good flavor. If you find your self in the cuts of the city at Park Merced this is the spot to get a refreshing drink. San Francisco is the city I was born and still "stay" I drink coffee and tea almost " everyday" at a local "cafe"which included matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha and Viet coffee "Crème Brûlée" Go where matcha is "made" in SF with a different "shade "at a cafe called "Jade" and if it's sunny and you feel sour grab some "lemonade"
