    2 hot lemon teas
    Lizzie S.

    Solid place for boba, tea, and spam musubi. Boba balls have just the right texture. They have fruit lattes, smoothies, bowls, rolls, and sago too! Lots of lunch options and more drink options than your typical boba place (Cool Bar is more than just a boba place!) You can order ahead online for quick and easy pickup which I've done a few times. Service is good, there's a few seats and tables but it's mainly takeout. I find prices to be reasonable for SF and the location so I keep coming back!

    Mango Sogo
    Miranda L.

    Stumbled on this place when walking around the Vanness street area and my friend told me they always have fun deals. The current one when we went was buy one get one free for a black milk tea. You order from the kiosk when entering and they have options from teas to fruit drinks. Our orders came out very quickly, about 10 minutes after, since mine was blended. Mango Sogo - It seems that they use fresh fruit in their drinks as I had a small mango peel in mine but it didn't matter because the drink was the perfect balance of refreshing and sweetness. The blended mango smoothie with the toppings of fresh mango, sago and coconut jellies meshed so well. My friends also really enjoyed their black milk tea and soft boba. I highly recommend checking them out as their drinks all taste great and have the cutest designs on their drink lids.

    Watermelon juice with boba
    Lori N.

    I really like that they actually use fresh fruit in their drinks! I got a watermelon juice with boba, and watched them cut open a fresh watermelon for the juice. Way too many places douse their drinks with sugary syrups and instant sugary powders. It's fresh stuff here! Drinks aren't inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. I actually don't mind paying more for quality. Again, they're using fresh fruit. Boba was on point too. Nice and chewy, but not too soft. And none of that hard center. Service was pleasant and efficient. No seating. Essentially a grab and go spot with boba, smoothies, fruit lattes, teas, poke bowls, etc. Only downside is parking. Mainly street parking, which can be difficult. After circling a few times, I got street parking. There's a parking garage directly across the street, but it's $8.00/hour. Not at all trendy or hip, but fresh stuff. I'd go back.

    Strawberry, blueberry, banana smoothie (half drank because it was so good I forgot to take a picture!)

    I really love how they use fresh fruit in their teas and smoothies. However, because of this sometimes their smoothies can be very different in any given day. For me, this is definitely a chance I take because the fresh fruit smoothies are refreshing and delicious. The fresh fruit teas are very nice on a warm summer day. They have an online order option which is nice because I can order ahead and just pick up my drink. This is overall a very nice tiny boba shop that I enjoy getting during my work day.

    Mango sago with crystal boba

    Everything is fresh!! And it's a cool little spot! I love the mango sago lol got it once cant stop coming back for it Service! Love it the first time I came here the guy who made my drink asked me very detailed questions for me to be satisfied bc I didn't know what i wanted ‍ Prices are very reasonable!!

    Durian latte
    Cece L.

    Durian latte was good! It's kinda pricey (over $9 with tax) and charged $.50 for both nondairy and decaf. It's not too sweet -- in fact I wish it was a little sweeter. I wish there was more durian which would add a bit more sweetness. But it's real fruit which is great, and the drink is so unique and creamy. Definitely worth the try! The interior of the place has a few chairs, but seems more like a grab and go spot.

    Mango pomelo sago with boba
    Karen T.

    They just opened downstairs from my work! True test to a good boba are the balls of course! They do their balls right! It's not too mushy and not too hard. They have buy 2 get one free deal on all drinks except the lattes

    Durian latte with soy milk
    Jose M.

    I've seen this place all over tik tok and they just so happened to open one underneath my office building. I am not a huge espresso drinker but I wanted to try the durian latte. I got it with soy milk. I overheard that they use Italian espresso. The durian chunks are fresh and sweet and it was *almost* well balanced with the espresso. Personally, I'd like a little more sweetener because the durian is the only sweet thing in the latte, but that's also because I'm no avid coffee drinker! I am so excited to go back again and would try a different flavor. My coworker got the avocado latte with whole milk. While she loved how fresh the drink was, she wished there was more espresso in it. It really just depends on the person and what they like to drink. The man behind the counter was so nice and wanted to make sure that my drink tasted perfect. I loved small seating area and the premises was clean and tidy.

    Taro Bubble Mill Tea and Watermelon Slushie Boba

    This is in a convenient location and the inside of the place is so clean and well styled. The service was fantastic, there was not a long wait and I was able to custom order some drinks. Everything tasted amazing and it's affordable. I highly recommend coming here!

    Banana latte
    Josh R.

    The worker there is so nice! He really cared and asked what we wanted. He used good detail and care into making the drinks. I will definitely be coming back to try out others

    Fresh squeezed orange juice
    Leung T.

    I had some fresh squeezed orange juice which was amazing. But at $7, its not cheep and they don't have a toilet.

    Antonette S.

    I hope cool bar does well. I've tried the mango sago (my favorite) and it is really fresh, full of mango flavor, and just sweet and tangy enough. I've also tried the poke (pictured) and musubi and it's pretty good and tasty for a reasonably price. The smoothies here are the star the show and they also sell fresh fruit that they use for a good deal! Worth a try,

    Banana latte w/ oat milk
    Sky K.

    i had tried the banana latte and was so satisfied with my order !! it had real banana at the bottom and their coffee tasted amazing. super cute shop and would definitely come back again to try something else !

    Over-salted cheese and egg croissant and missing my extra egg I paid for.

    I'm so impressed with Palmetto Superfoods especially now that I've seen the set up…read more The freshness of the fruits and other ingredients like coconut, açaí, crunchy granola, chia seeds and peanut butter. You can choose from many ingredients and each bowl is assembled fresh to order. You order on an iPad which takes a minute to choose from all the possible ingredients, the size of the bowl or choose from a preset combination, pay and then wait for your bowl (or smoothie) to be assembled. My best advice is to order in advance because two people hustled with pick up orders, walk ins and online orders. I waited about 25 minutes after adding two custom bowls to the TGTG order that sent me in. Every surface of the small store was immaculate. I looked around and wondered how intense the set up each morning would be, dicing and slicing strawberries, kiwi, mango etc. Palmetto Superfoods is a complex operation and the bowls were (chef's kiss) delicious.

    This location used to be my favorite but it is going down hill…read more Our orders have been wrong several times (ingredients switched between bowls), they have the side room where you used to be able to sit entirely blocked off and no more benches in front due to construction. They are also often out of certain ingredients (today the coconut milk syrup, previously GF oatmeal, blueberries, etc). Today there was only one poor person working trying to keep up with a long string of orders. I have never seen the same person here twice, so I imagine there is a lot of turn over. The workers are always very nice but seem frazzled. There is no ambience, it's two chipped benches that used to be white, a do not enter sign and basically nowhere to sit and eat.

This location is really close to my work, which was great. I stopped by on a Tuesday at 1:30pm and there were only a few customers inside. I like the simple decor and the big menu on the wall, it reminded me of Hawaii. I ordered the original gangster and waited less than 5 minutes before it was ready. The açaí was not too sweet (just how I like it), and I loved all the toppings that came with it such as the granola, banana, blueberry, coconut shavings, and honey. The strawberry was a bit too tart but other than that, everything was great. I think I've found my favorite açai spot in the city. I can't wait to try other flavors next time I stop by.

    I love Bowl'd Acai! I remember going to their food truck pre-pandemic by Salesforce Tower…read more Their acai bowls are fresh, high quality, and large portions. I find the Green Goliath to be pretty unique, as well as the Original Gangster. I love the light, airy, and plant-filled interior. They also have some good "happy hours" for cheaper poke bowls, acai bowls, smoothies, and bone broths. Service is kind, friendly, and efficient. I love this location in Nob Hill? Polk Gulch? Very bikeable, walkable, and bus-able.
