Probably my favorite bubble tea place in the mission. Jasmine tea (5/5): strong flavor just like I like it. Sea salt crema topping is a must. Popcorn chicken (4/5): perfectly cooked! Very juicy but the chicken has no seasoning apart from the chili powder. They do offering dipping sauce but I wish the batter was seasoned. No seats here. Take it to go and enjoy at Dolores Park. They also have a picnic combo which is a great deal! read more

DistrictTea on Mission St. absolutely nails it with their strawberry matcha latte. The balance is spot-on--earthy, high-quality matcha paired with real strawberry flavor that's fresh and lightly sweet, not artificial or overpowering. It's creamy, refreshing, and clearly made with care. You can taste that they don't cut corners on ingredients. The drink feels indulgent but still clean and smooth, making it an easy repeat order. If you're a matcha fan or just looking to try something a little different, this one's a standout. Highly recommend. read more

Mission District may look sketchy to a first-timer like me, but District Tea is like a hidden safe space to get your fix on fusion boba drinks and Asian snacks for takeout. I got their Mung Bean Latte cold (seasonal) and Sunset District both at 50% sweetness. Both of them weren't too sweet. The mung bean latte is more of a smoothie milk mix so you won't choke on any mung beans when you sip. The Sunset District was a little bit plain, but I could taste the Jasmine tea with a distinct fruit puree. I also ordered the Pork Katsu Sando and Potato Croquette; both were so crispy and delicious that my mom wanted more of the Sando. The service is focused on takeout and pickup so there were no seats and tables at all to wait for your order when it was raining or windy outside. The crew was nice to bag up the goodies with utensils and a drink tray to prevent any spills. There's no parking available on the street, so it's best to take the Bart and Muni and walk from there. read more

I went here on a Saturday around 6:30pm and there was no wait. You order at the tablet. Anyways, I always love getting boba to treat myself and this was a place I still wanted to try! The drinks I got were very good and refreshing! The Peaches N' Cream reminded me of a creamy, melted creamsicle drink because of the scoop of vanilla icecream it has. My favorite was the Mango Slush just because of how refreshing it felt . I'd recommend this place! The sell a variety of boba drinks, slush type drinks, and snacks too ! They also have hot drinks if you prefer that. read more

Stopped by District Tea after my sister had recommended it to me and I think it's great for tea lovers! I tried their peach oolong tea easy sweet with a few toppings and I thought it was wonderfully tea forward. The peach flavor tastes like real fruit, nothing artificial or powdery. It was super refreshing and the perfect pick me up. I ordered ahead online and my drinks were ready on time. While there's no seating, it's a great grab and go spot. Parking can be a bit tricky since the street is busy, but it's worth it. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Wish it was closer to us. I absolutely love their popcorn chicken and their limited special, Tako No Karaage. Crispy and on point spices. The Tuna Onigiri was tasty and filling, perfect for lunch. I got the egg salad Sando for a colleague, they told me it was delicious. Thai tea was nice. read more

Decided to try a new boba place after dinner and came to District Tea! Very simple shop, no tables or chairs inside. Not too pricey as well. I got the Golden Oolong Tea Crema with no sugar and boba. The tea was pretty fragrant, but I would've liked it a little stronger but that just might be the type of tea. I was pleasantly surprised by the cream on top. It was very creamy with a hint of sweetness and a hint of saltiness that was not overpowering but instead complimented the drink. Would definitely recommend mixing the tea in in the beginning. The boba was chewy and nicely sweetened - what you would expect from a well-cooked boba. The drink was pretty light which was exactly what I was looking for. The Iced Grass Jelly drink on the other hand was not worth it. It was basically grass jelly + condensed milk + milk. Overwhelmingly sweet to the point where we just ended up scooping out the grass jelly to eat. Would not recommend that drink. Overall, a pretty standard boba shop with lots of options. Definitely hits the spot for a boba craving! read more

Probably one of the best boba shops I've had in the city. I ordered the Hong Kong milk tea which had a strong black tea flavor. The boba was slightly sweet and the perfect texture.

District Tea | San Francisco 1. Mung Bean Latte with boba ~ traditional Vietnamese mung bean latte with fresh mung beans, pandan leaves, coconut milk, and condensed milk 2. Mango matcha latte w/ oatmilk ~ sweet and creamy blend of housemate fruit purée, Japanese matcha powder and oatmilk District Tea is a family-owned boba shop located in the Mission District of San Francisco. They offer a wide variety of beverages that range from milk teas to fruit teas, ice cream floats, and more. In addition, they make food that's made in-house, such as popcorn chicken, Korean corn dogs, spam musubi, and even Katsu sando! I came across this shop on a sunny Saturday afternoon and found myself craving boba. I instantly saw the mung bean latte, so I knew I had to get it, and a friend wanted their mango matcha latte. The workers were friendly, drinks were made fast, and they tasted amazing (flavor profile was there & not too sweet). Not only is this business woman-operated, but they partake in helping the community which is amazing. If you're ever craving boba, go check this place out. I definitely will come back for their snacks the next time around! Instagram: @markanthonyfoodies read more

Quick Summary: - Small interior, no tables or chairs - 2 methods to order: by kiosk or from the staff - Menu includes savory snacks too There are some boba and coffee places appearing on Mission, so we decided to try some out. One of the listed ones was District Tea. The interior is small, but there is space to stand and drink tea. However, it will feel cramped, if there are more than 8 people. Inside, there are two ways to order; one is by the kiosk and the other is from the staff. A large board with the menu options is placed on one side of the wall. I chose to order through the kiosk because some of the dishes include photos. I like how the boba drink names have the San Francisco theme. I think I got the district tea in this round because I was looking for a refreshing fruit drink. At default sweetness, it was indeed refreshing and had no sappy aftertaste. read more

I visited this boba shop and found it to be average. I decided to try their mung bean latte (caffeine free) since I really love 7 leaves mung bean milk tea and I don't have a high tolerance for caffeine. My recent encounter with the mung bean latte at this shop left me with mixed feelings. Don't get me wrong, the mung bean latte here wasn't good. It didn't taste like mung bean. However, having previously tried the mung bean milk tea at 7 leaves, my taste buds have developed a preference. Here's mung bean latte tastes too diluted with water. The atmosphere of the boba shop was great tho - it was clean, with a cute vibe that made me want to enjoy my boba(there's no seating area tho). And the service was quick, which was a plus. But this place is much overpriced for a regular sized boba drink tho. Not sure if I would come back for the drinks. read more

Food - I was feeling basic and got the taro milk tea. they use real taro and it had taro chunks in the drink. I wish the taro chunks were a little smaller because I had a lot of leftover taro chunks that went to waste. Overall the taro drink was ok. My favorite is still 7 leaves. Service - quick and easy. They had a touch screen where you can order and the drink came out in less than 5 minutes Ambiance - pretty small, pretty clean and kinda cute inside. No seating so you'd have to take it to go. Overall, I'd like to go back to try some of their other drinks and picnic combos (they have some combos where you get boba and some food - perfect for a picnic). They also have a lot more variety and unique flavors I don't see often. read more

I got the Picnic Pack for 2 :) - Egg Salad Sando: Bread was not as soft as I expected, but pretty good sando overall as you can't go too wrong with egg. - Mix Onigiri (1 salmon and 1 tuna): I liked the salmon more. Kind of wished I got 2 of those instead of the tuna. The sauce definitely helped with the flavors. - Takoyaki (3 pc): Standard takoyaki. - Sunset District w/ Lychee Jelly: Good, but drink was noticeably not filled and I didn't make any adjustments. - Jasmine Milk Tea: Good balance of creaminess from the milk and nice tea taste. Like the other drink, it was noticeably skimp on the drink with no adjustments. I didn't go on a picnic, but it is a nice place to get some food for one. read more

Ordered the picnic pack for two and I have to say it is so worth! I got the katsu sando, the katsu musubi, potato croquette! For drinks, ordered the taro latte with boba and jasmine milk tea with boba. We ordered ahead and picked up just on time. Both the katsu sando and katsu musubi were delicious! They provided a little container of katsu sauce and I wish they gave two because it was that good. The potato croquette had to be my favorite though, it was perfectly soft and creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside! We were not able to adjust the sugar levels or ice levels on our drink which I was bummed about. The drinks were super good but a little too sweet for my liking. Overall, this is a great picnic for two set for those who want to picnic at mission Dolores park. read more

I came here for a Yelp event but also ordered their Takoyaki which was oh so good, and as good as what I've had at Japan Town. Parking gets tight in the Mission, but I found ample spots on South Van Ness. As for the shop it was very busy and a little backed up, but given the high quality of food & drink the kitchen puts out its easy to overlook that possible issue. During the visit I was also able to enjoy a Watermelon Coconut Drink, and a Katsu Sando both of which were great. District Tea is a great addition to the Mission, and it brings a new menu to the neighborhood. read more

My life was dedicated to tea, based on where it takes me. With my trusty steel boba straw from Boba Guys, I got to save other disposable boba straws for other folks just so I could buy another cup of bubble tea. No indoor nor outdoor seating since the space of District Tea was so small, we ordered takeout. Whether I get a free size upgrade or a check-in offer, it's good that this women owned bubble tea shop accepted cash. For my takeout order, I chose hot, unsweetened matcha latte, with grass jelly and soy milk. While many bubble tea lovers like bovine milk, sugar, and black pearls onto their tea, I took my approach when it comes to strong, whole leaf tea. My snack was matcha cheesecake, which was also my dessert. That showed me how much I love green tea so much. District Tea was another new addition that replaced the old one in the Mission District. Since the young female baristas were doing well, I might swing by for another. read more

I got a strawberry matcha latte, which was pretty good, but I'd skip the food. The spam musubi was okay, but it came with a sauce that seemed like katsu sauce instead of the traditional one, which I didn't love. The onigiri was disappointing--both the salmon and tuna tasted like canned fish with little seasoning. Would come back for drinks but not the food. read more

We tried their boba drinks and snack items. Drinks: Tai Tea with boba- average taste; no surprise here. Strawberry green tea with lychee jellies- the taste was extremely bitter and hard to swallow due to the awful taste. Snacks: Popcorn chicken and Korean hot dogs were bland. Not sure if their meat items are made to be moist with any flavor. I am not coming back to eat here. Quickly is still our go-to spot to enjoy average milk teas. read more

District Tea - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Tried this place for first time on 12.29.2022. I ordered a popcorn chicken and a small Assam black milk tea with boba . The order was placed through DoorDash. The first thing I want to mention is that almost all the drinks my coworkers and I ordered leaked in the bag. Secondly, the person who prepared the order did not provide any skewers or utensils to eat the popcorn chicken with. I also want to point out that the straws and cups are such cheap quality. My straw broke at the bottom when I tried to insert it into the cup. The top part of the straw broke after I took a few sips. The straw cracks so easily. There was also way too much ice in my drink. The actual flavor of the drink was good. There's a nice tea aroma and flavor. I did like how the drink wasn't too sweet. (You can pick the level of sweetness you want when you place an order). I was disappointed when I saw that they don't offer black sugar milk tea. The actual tapioca pearls were pretty decent, but they didn't have a whole lot of chew to it. I like my boba chewy. They didn't have a lot of brown sugar or honey taste either. The popcorn chicken was good. I just wish they actually applied the seasoning more evenly. There were some pieces that had a loooot of spice and other pieces with no spice at all. I do like that the popcorn chicken was still hot when it arrived and the chicken was very tender. I just wish that the experience was better. I couldn't finish my drink properly since they don't give extra straws. I didn't want to chug the drink. Drinking a boba milk tea drink with a bunch of ice actually makes it hard to eat the boba because the ice keeps getting in the way. read more

The drinks here are great! It is a bit more expensive but you do get what you're paying for. They're higher quality and made with better ingredients. It's reflected in the taste of the drinks. My fav is the Castro which is peach and lychee. It's a good pairing and very refreshing. It can be a bit sweet so make sure to ask to lower the sweetness if you don't like your dicks too sweet. They also have some great snacks like katsu sandwich which is delicious, and taikoyaki and pop corn chicken. This place is 3 blocks away from Dolores park! read more

this place is the best boba in the city hands down love the jasmine tea fruit teas i could drink it every day haha

Great tea! Location: Definitely one of the better boba shops in SF. There is limited parking around the area, but if you can find parking, I would stop by here. There are no tables or benches to sit at inside the shop. It is more of a grab and go establishment. They have a kiosk where you can order your drinks. They also have a really nice minimalistic decor. Drinks: I got a jasmine milk tea. I substitute milk with oat milk. They have a variety of non-dairy-friendly options! The tea was really good. If you like more herbal tea flavors, I would recommend this place. Service: The employees here are super friendly. This was my first time at this boba shop, and the employee answered all my questions. Overall, I would come back to this tea place! Really enjoyed it. read more

4.25 stars Street parking only, be wary of surroundings since neighborhood isn't the warmest, to-go only (no dine-in space) Order with the cashier at register or self-order at the kiosk next to it All drinks start at $5 and adding topping + going large can have drinks right around $7 mark Hong Kong Milk Tea 5/5 - mmm yum, executed really well and love that they use condensed milk (the way it should be heh) I'd recommend getting it at 100% so it can taste how it "normally" does, I tried this item a second time but with 75% and felt it wasn't sweet enough Mung Bean Latte - 3.75/5, milky and mung bean taste is present, but just my preference I like 7 leaves more for this kind of drink Green Thai Milk Tea - 3.25/5, definitely more tea than milk, I like my drinks on the milky/creamy side so this was my least favorite Solid spot for boba and they also offer snacks/food too Happy to visit whenever I'm in the area read more

Their teas were pretty rich but would not recommend regular sweet as it covers the lingered aftertaste. Haven't tried their food but would like to try it out in the future.

"Yeah, b---h, keep on going..." - Cardi B I'm all about supporting independent businesses, toss in Asian women owners, all women staff and you have my full backing! I'm by no means WOKE, but I do believe in hard work and living the American dream! District Tea entered my life after Birria tacos, I was thirsty for something sweet, but not too sweet if that makes any sense lol. I have a circle of women friends who love teas and fortunately it seems I'm always with one or two of them... not like I'm complaining! :D I'm with Bestie J this time and we enter the small but efficient location with large lighted menu on the wall as you enter. The lady who greeted us was nice and asked if we had any questions. We like to peruse on our own and that's what we did... as a group of four ladies enter after us... also in the mood for boba! Bestie J was surprised to see a THE SUNSET DISTRICT Fruit Tea as she lives in that district and I was also surprised to see my TWIN PEAKS Fruit Tea as I live on the hill! So by silly default we had to represent and order the obvious! Thank you, Bestie J for the treat! :D THE SUNSET DISTRICT: Strawberry, Mango, Lemon Fruit Tea. Bestie J rated it at 4-stars TWIN PEAKS: Mango & Lychee Fruit Tea. Oat Milk added. I found it refreshing but not much else. 4-stars Note: District Tea is not only about teas! They also offer Japanese sandos, musubi, popcorn chicken, etc. Oh! And did I tell you I have four sisters and probably why I'm hella overprotective! I mean well, I'm trying... In the end, I can see the high ratings as the ladies were nice and present. The teas were fun and many named after districts in San Francisco, hence the District Tea name! The flavors we chose, tho refreshing, was not memorable, but hey at least it wasn't overly sugary either. No regrets representing our hoods, but these hood-rats will order something else next time, only if in the area and jonesing boba.. read more

Ordered my food and drink off doordash so can't speak to the service and ambiance. I got the Hong Kong milk tea with boba. Love how the drink wasn't too sweet at all and let the tea flavor shine, but lord is the caffeine in the Hong Kong milk tea is STRONG. I also finished the boba well before I finished the tea which isn't the norm for me. Texture was so-so. However, I did love the strong tea flavor and not drinking something saturated in sweetness. I also got the popcorn chicken. The basil flavor was all at the bottom and the breading for the popcorn chicken was alright. It's better than a cheaper spot that will give you all breading and very little chicken, but flavor wise it's alright. Overall, it's worth checking this spot out. I like their commitment to transparency and overall message so 4 stars! read more

Their snacks are pretty decent, have had their popcorn chicken, musubi, onigiri, takoyaki, etc. They all are what you would expect but done well enough. They also have some interesting drinks, but I haven't tried as many of them. I have gotten the thai iced green tea a few times because I am always curious and forget how it was the last time I tried, but I think I'm never super positively overwhelmed by it in the end. It seems like a lighter thai iced tea, slightly less sweet (hopefully less caffeine?). Looks pretty but I'm trying to remind myself to try other drink next time by writing this review. I've had their chamoy mango or watermelon drinks once or twice and those are pretty tasty. Their boba can be hit or miss. read more

Friendly and fast service. Yummy snacks/food. Tasty but could've been better drink. Came here for a Yelp event and ordered a few extras. Tried the taro latte (a little lacking in flavor for me, boba was ok though), egg salad sando, katsu sando, and salmon onigiri. The food all tasted good, but the katsu sando was my favorite. I wish I lived closer to try more things. The place is very small, and there are no tables to dine in. It's about 4-5 blocks from Dolores, so my friends and I walked there to eat at the park. Parking is tough in this area, but we got lucky with a spot around the corner (Wednesday afternoon). Good spot to have a picnic at Dolo! read more

Came for restaurant week! You can order online to save yourself time and pick up but there was no line at lunch time. $15 for a katsu sando and a small boba drink. Assam milk tea with boba 4.5/5 This milk tea is really good. Is it the best I've ever had? No but it's everything you are craving in a milk tea and it was not too sweet either. The star however is their boba. It's perfectly chewy but not too chewy and not hard with that slight sweetness that compliments the tea. Katsu Sando 4/5 The bread on the sando is so good! Soft and fluffy and sweet. The katsu is fried nicely with a good crisp but I wish there was more flavor in either sauce or the katsu. Needless to say, I'll be back. I definitely wanna try the mung bean latte and maybe some other food items. (Someone ordered popcorn chicken and it smelled delicious!) There is also a picnic set for 2 people that is a great deal that I'll have to try in the future as well. read more

District Tea - Katsu Sando and Assam (Black) Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Like selection of drink and interesting combination of teas and fruits last location too

4.5 stars**** Came yesterday for the last weekend of SF Restaurant Week. Of all the listed restaurants, District Tea seemed to have the best lunch deals. For $15, you get a choice of a sando sandwich and a small beverage with a topping of your choice (which usually cost $.75 more). My husband and I both ordered a katsu sando. He got the mung bean latte with boba, while I got the iced grass jelly with boba. We both upgraded our drinks to a large size for $.75 more. When we arrived, the place is quite emptied. There are no seats so it is literally a small shop you order food to go. The iPad machine they used for self-serve does not work. After we placed our orders, the worker said she has to cancel it because the pricing of the deal is wrong on the iPad. It shows SF Restaurant Week with two deals for $25 instead of the $15 deal for one person. It would have been nice if she said something in the beginning and put up a sign that the machine is not working since she is well aware of it, instead of wasting our time. Due to that, we needed to add more money in the meter because we wasted time placing the orders on the first iPad and then re-ordering the food (by the way, on Saturday, meter is $9/hr in SF Mission... so crazy). Food and drinks take about 15-20 minutes. The katsu sando is delicious! Very saucy too! This is the third sando place I tried in SF in the past six months. My favorite is still Katsu-ya but I like the katsu sando here better than at Stonemill, which tasted more dry (in my opinion). The drinks are surprisingly very good too! The mung bean latte does remind me of Seven Leaves, and the iced grass jelly drink tasted like the bottom of an iced shaved Asian dessert with grass jelly that melted and then got mixed with condensed milk. The honey boba is on point too, soft but not over-cooked, and chewy on the inside with the right amount of sweetness. Their drinks remind me of Boba Guys. Luckily, they are not overwhelmingly sweet. The one thing we are not a fan of is their spicy popcorn chicken. We ordered it because we saw pictures on Yelp that they used basil leaves. Instead, it is just plain popcorn chicken. Flavorful but not very crispy. Quickly does a better job at it especially since District Tea charges $8 for popcorn chicken. Overall, I would recommend trying their katsu sando and the drinks with boba. read more

District Tea did not disappoint! Wandered in on a balmy Friday afternoon for the mission. After looking over the menu, I ended with the the iced grass jelly which was milk sweetened with condensed milk and topped with generous swaths of grass jelly. Grass jelly, my friends, is a truly underrated drink topping. It's smooth and silky yet very refreshing and it absolutely hit the spot on this afternoon. As for the milk, the condensed milk really added a lot of creaminess to the drink in addition to a fair amount of sweetness (opted 30% sweet). The end result is probably comparable to frosted flakes cereal milk, which, if I may add, is one of the most superb cereal milks. At $6 with tip, District Tea is right on par with it's competitors. I will definitely keep it in mind for future Mission tea runs! read more
