I ordered ahead on the app and there was a long line for pickup even though I ordered ahead like 25+ minutes prior. This store seems to get swamped like all the other HeyTea shops. I tried their standard milk tea with the cheese and boba and thought it was pretty good. It was quite rich and the boba was chewy enough. I didn't change the default sweetness and next time I would probably lower the sweetness a tiny bit.

The wait isn't as long depending on time of day and if you order ahead via the app. Sometimes they appear understaffed, such that the person handing out drinks is the same person taking orders. This location is very small compared to the Westlake one, but it's conveniently located inside Stonestown. My favorites lately have been their guava series- the guava green grape is so light and refreshing, and the king jasmine guava is creamy and delicious. Drinks have been mostly consistent in quality and flavor. I would just try to avoid peak hours; it's horrendous inside when they're busy.

I'm hesitant to try them again, but I might if it's only $2 to try something else.

The staff here are really friendly and they told me they have ube and sesame flavors too.

I'd probably give this place less than 4 stars based on the food and drinks alone, but the service…read morewas so nice that I ended up giving it 4/5. My friends and I came from Texas and were recommended to try this location at Stonestown. I actually tried it when I visited SF back in 2024, so I was excited to come back again after two years. Unfortunately, I feel like the quality has gone down a little. The matcha was really astringent and didn't taste that good this time, and the banana flavor tasted very artificial. The service was definitely the best part though. The guy working there was really nice, and the Asian girl with red hair was super friendly and helpful. She explained the different lattes to us and recommended the black sesame latte, which was actually really good very nutty and not too sweet. She also gave us FIVE ice cream samples, like yo my friends were still downstairs and I just asked if they could try some too, and she happily gave us a bunch to bring to them. Such nice service! Overall: ambience 3/5, food/drinks 2/5, but service 5/5. The staff really saved the experience for us.

My friend got his cold brew, but I kept waiting while people who ordered after me got their drinks. I finally asked the barista about mine, and she said it was coming up. I waited AGAIN... and still nothing. When I finally asked if they were going to make it or refund me, I got excuses about hot drinks and mobile orders. I use mobile ordering all the time--I know how it works. The problem was simply that they forgot my order. Then the manager came over, but instead of apologizing and fixing the situation, I got even more excuses. Mistakes happen, but good customer service is about acknowledging it and apologizing. Definitely needs better training at this location. I'll be going to the Sloat location from now on. Should've just gotten Heytea!

Oh, by the way, there is a panel to order drinks only if that's what you want. Or order at the cashier and pay for your pastries at the same time. Convenient options.

It is located in a small strip mall next to San Francisco State University. I think the place has been opened about a year. Ordered the Pistachio Vietnamese Coffee which has a thick pistachio cream on top. The pistachio cream has good flavor and is enjoyable with sipping. The coffee is strong. They also offer other Vietnamese coffee like traditional, salt cream, and crème brûlée. I haven't tried their matcha drinks but I've heard they are solid as well. Really good selection of flavors including classic, strawberry matcha, coconut matcha, and black sesame matcha.

Parking can get tough in the area, and wait times may be longer than expected if there is a small line.

Items ordered- Coconut Purple Rice Taro- I didn't want boba and it was included so this was given to a relative. Mango pomelo sago- Too much tapioca and it was overdone and very large.. the flavor was very lackluster and this was disappointing as I love mango and pomelo and ordered a large. I poured it out.

I think a pitfall of a lot of SF coffee shops is the food, but both the drinks and food were superb and just what I needed to kickstart my day. They have unique flavors and seasonal drinks.

On a Summer stroll where rain drops fall and the sun comes out after I landed on Ocean ( not the beach) avenue. Inside Charm Coffee you will see a menu with toast and jam and grilled cheese like some in SF but you will also find avocado toast and cheesy quesadillas. They also matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha.
