Golden oolong with cream was on my list after I found this place on Yelp. For nearly $6 I would say it's just okay...I ordered mine with no sugar and it still tasted too sweet. Service was slow and they couldn't explain their rewards program and didn't know how it worked. How do you have a loyalty program and can't answers questions about it? I'll skip this place due to all the other tea places around and for hard to find parking here. read more

A great place to grab a drink and snacks for a picnic at Dolores Park. On Mission St, so parking can be difficult and there is no seating inside the store. Got the picnic pack for 2 ($29), which comes with two small drinks and three snacks that come in a small box. Note that there is an extra charge some snacks and sando flavors. We got: Green Thai milk tea (5/5) - good tea flavor, not too sweet Hong Kong milk tea (5/5) - most hk milk teas from other boba places only taste like condensed milk, but this one has a deep tea flavor and tastes like a proper hk milk tea Egg salad sando (3/5) - not my favorite and was a bit dry at times but has good flavor Spam musubi (4/5) - a solid spam musubi with good marinade sauce Takoyaki (5/5) - my favorite out of the snacks, came out piping hot and I liked the sauce that came on top Will be back to try their other drinks and snacks! read more

District tea is a great place to grab food for a picnic date at Dolores Park! (0.3 miles walking distance) I got the picnic pack for 2: -Katsu Sando 5/5 My favorite food from the set! The bread was soft and the chicken was well seasoned, crispy, and moist. Love the sauce that came with it too. -Mix onigiri 4/5 The mixed onigiri came with cooked salmon and tuna. It had a nice peppery taste to it. I wished there was a little bit more fish to it. -Takoyaki 5/5 The Takoyaki was amazing and def had an authentic taste to it. -Mango Matcha Latte & Sunset District 2/5 The drinks were watered down. I was very disappointed because these drinks were highly recommended on their menu. read more

Strawberry Green Tea Sea Salt Crema + honey boba (30% sweet) Salted crema doesn't quite go with the strawberry puree. Don't expect matcha type of grassy green tea, this is more of a cleaner, floral green tea. Ordered 30% sweet but almost wished it was sweeter, like 50% (only options are 0, 30, 75, 100). Boba has great texture though. Mung Bean Latte + grass jelly (30% sweet) Very mung bean-y and quite a filling drink. You can tell they use real beans cuz it's got a little bit of grainy texture. The drink was more coconut than pandan-forward, but the grass jelly was a great addition. 30% sweet was definitely sweet enough. read more

Overall really positive experience! The drinks and food are excellent. I love how they offer a picnic experience - definitely going to keep it in mind next time I plan a date or girls day in SF. Such a perfect go to to take to a nearby SF park! What I got: Drink - Grass Jelly: I didn't realize it was decaffeinated so boo me! But it was still SO good. Whenever I drink grass jelly it takes me back to my childhood and this drink definitely brought me back! Food: Egg salad with spam: Ok YUM. I would get this again! The spam is an extra add on and worth it if you like spam as much as I do. Popcorn chicken: also YUM. A good amount of spicy! I just wish there was more fried basil. read more

I'm from Orange County but visit SF quite often. Every time I come up here, I make it a point to come to District Tea. My go to drink is Twins Peak. Mango & lychee, you can't go wrong! I get my drink 75% sweet with lychee jelly. I also love the Castro drink (I'm obviously in love with the lychee lol) their drinks aren't too sweet and you can barely taste the syrups as they make it with puree! There's a ton of people walking around but the area isn't the greatest. Remember to lock your doors! (However all of SF you need to lock your doors). Can't wait to come back! read more

I like how fast their service is. They are quick to help when you need to order with them. They also have the option for kiosk for those who don't need help. The store is small and there's no seating. It's a Togo place. They offer food like chicken katsu and popcorn chicken. I love my Jasmine milk tea. It tastes exactly like what you'd expect it to be. I am also a fan of their fruit teas as well. Their lychee green tea comes with real lychee bits. Sometimes I order here and take my meal to Dolores park! read more

Our order was the Katsu Sando, Katsu musubi, and two green thai teas. It was edible... but disappointing. The price for everything but particularly for the Katsu Sando was not worth it at $15 for how mediocre, dry, and small it was. Do not recommend it. Other than that, the Musubi was also mediocre with no rice seasoning. Eating it made me feel sad. As for the drinks, the two green thai teas (one 30% sweet with boba and one 75% sweet with salted cream) tasted like overbrewed (bitter) but weak low quality green tea bags. The boba had the right texture but was just flavorless and sad. The tea was so bitter that it had an astringent effect on the inside of my mouth. Basically sandpaper. The sweetness level and toppings did not change this and ended up having to throw it out. The service was subpar. While we understood that there was a big order around the same time as ours, we were told to wait, but it turned out that our food had been ready and was sitting on the counter getting cold. That being said, I don't think that the food being hot would have improved the quality. The tea was particularly depressing. As for the layout, it was cute but really not great to actually have the flow of customers moving at all. Other customers did not seem to care about making space to pick up the order. The flow direction could be so much better. However, none of this experience motivates me to return or recommend this spot. read more

Katsu Sando The bread was a bit dense but it was still fluffy and sweet. The katsu batter seems to be reminiscent of the popcorn chicken batter. The katsu was tender and a bit fatty. I love the addition of the tangy katsu sauce, creamy mayo, and the crunchy coleslaw. Nice balance of sweet and salty. Also, balanced cross section. read more

This is the second time I've had District Tea and as much as I want them to be one of my go-to options, they've missed the mark. I've had my fair share of HK milk teas, but this has got to be one of the worse. I ordered the HK milk tea with boba since I haven't seen this offered at other boba spots (Boba Guys removed it from their menu). While the HK milk tea seems to be one of their popular options, my drink tasted like sugar water. It lacked the creamy/fragrant strong tea flavor. I don't know if they put too much milk or what, but my drink was watered down when I received it. The boba had a nice chewiness to it, but lacked flavor. Some of the other drinks ordered from District Tea: Green Thai Milk Tea - Interesting and not for me! It kinda tasted like Pandan, but also some weird mixture of a syrup that was super sweet even with "easy sweet". PASS! Hojicha Milk Tea - Ordered two of these on a prior order: one with less sugar and less ice, and one with less sugar and normal ice. First, it would have been nice if District Tea labeled which drink was which as both drinks looked like it had the same amount of ice. Second, the Hojicha wasn't prominent so the drink just tasted like water. From my understanding, the drinks at District Tea are supposed to have a strong tea flavor. Based on my two experiences, they've missed the mark. Overall, I like that they offer an extensive menu, but just not sure if I'll be ordering from them again. read more

Ordered the picnic pack for 2 for $27 (+$1 for the tonkatsu musubi). Egg salad sando - a decent egg salad sandwich between fluffy white bread. Tonkatsu musubi - the tonkatsu was very crispy and the musubi was packed with flavor. My favorite item from the picnic pack! Corn croquette - crispy but I couldn't really taste corn and only saw a few kernels of corn. It was basically a potato croquette. Hong Kong milk tea - a solid Hong Kong milk tea. I liked how it wasn't super sweet so you can still taste the tea. The better drink out of the two we got. Golden gate - house made watermelon and lychee purée with jasmine green tea. It wasn't sweet at all and we didn't change the sweetness. I wish it was sweeter but I do appreciate them using real fruit. read more

Definitely a hidden gem boba spot in this area! I was visiting SF for the week and was happy to stumble upon this place while I was taking a drive around the Mission District. What I ordered:Strawberry Matcha Latte // with Boba & Oat Milk I quite honestly thought that this strawberry matcha was better than Boba Guys. It tasted a lot better and the strawberry puree was on point. Definitely did not disappoint. Mango Coconut // With Lychee Jelly I ordered this on a whim for my boyfriend who loves mango and coconut and he absolutely loved it! When I went to go pick up my order, I believe that it was actually on their list of favorites so my intuition was right! Spam Musubi (2) priced at 3/each // I love their presentation of the furikake sprinkled on top and how it's cut into 2 pieces. Not the best tasting compared to Homestyle Hawaiian down in San Diego but also comparing boba shop snacks to a Hawaiian restaurant is a little bit of a stretch! Must try items! I think they're also known for their "picnic packs" which come with 2 drinks and 3 snacks! Will definitely come and try this next time when I can plan a picnic at one of SF's many beautiful parks. Note: It's kind of located in a bad spot in terms of surrounding businesses/harder to find. But parking can be found close by so you can just run by the pick-up window and get your order! read more

SF street parking to be expected! Inside of the shop is quite small, just to-go orders no seating. There's a kiosk for ordering and a huge TV screen with the menu. There's so many items on the menu I had a hard time choosing what drink to get! Decided on the hong kong milk tea and it did not disappoint! You couldn't adjust the sweetness but it was perfect imo, not overly sweet and you could really taste the tea flavor. Saw that they also offer some picnic eats/drink set and also milk tea in half gallons which looked intriguing!!! Would stop by again if I was in the area!! read more

I've had District Tea in my bookmarks for a while, and was finally able to try it this weekend! They have a really big menu that encompasses drink and food items. Most of the folks ahead of us ordered food with their purchase, so I have got to try that next time! There is a self-service kiosk in the store where you order food, and staff will call out your name when your order is ready. Since they offer food items on the menu, I think this is what makes the wait time longer. I opted for the mung bean latte and my sister tried the Sunset District Fruit tea. (I loved all the names of the drinks on the menu!) The mung bean latte was very light and refreshing - it was smoother, but less creamy than 7 Leaves'. The Sunset District fruit tea was just alright - it quite refreshing, but a little lackluster as it only tasted like black tea with a few chunks of fruit. read more

I'm guessing everyone debates on going to this spot or Brew Cha right around the corner as I certainly did. I actually tried District first but published my review for Brew Cha earlier simply because the experience was a little more memorable. When I tried this spot I walked by Brew Cha first, but decided that it didn't look promising for the mood I was in. Brew Cha probably has more dual flavor drink offerings, while District offers more traditional combinations. Walking in, there is only one ordering kiosk and the store is divided in half, one side for ordering the other for waiting. When I went I got stuck for a while behind a larger group that was ordering while nobody was on the pickup side, so depending on how busy it is you might find it difficult to work with the layout. The store itself was very aesthetically pleasing with the wood accents, plants, and vaulted ceiling. I ordered the regular size jasmine green milk tea with 30% sweetness, regular milk, and boba added. I didn't wait nearly as long as I did to order to receive my drink, so I'd say your wait time really depends on how many parties/people are waiting to order in front of you. I remember thinking that it was strange how 50% sweetness wasn't an option, because that is usually my go-to (the only middle options were 30% and 75%). Taking the first sip, my initial thought was definitely that this could be a little sweeter. The tapioca pearls had a store-bought taste to them, and weren't soaked in any kind of sweetened syrup. Had they been seeped in brown sugar I definitely would've been more pleased with their texture and the sweetness that that would've brought to the drink. Regardless, I was more of a fan of the tapioca here than the ones I had at Brew Cha because these weren't difficult to chew. I wouldn't be opposed to returning and trying a different menu item, but I might pass on the boba just because I don't feel that they are necessarily worth the extra cost. read more

I saw this stand at the sunset night market and was intrigued by the mung bean boba. The sugar level isn't customizable but the drink isn't too sweet. It also wasn't too heavy. However, the pearls were not great--maybe it's because this was a pop stand, but the pearls were hard and not chewy at all. This being said though, I'd definitely still give district tea another try. The food pictures look quite yummy. read more

Time & Date: 4:30pm, Thursday 4/8/21 Ordered by: Doordash Items: - Mung Bean Latte (large, $5.75) - Green Thai Milk Tea (small, $4.50) - Iced Grass Jelly (small, $5.00) I was craving the Mung Bean drink from 7Leaves, but the only locations in the bay are all the way in SJ. I searched up "mung bean" on doordash & District Tea had it! The other items on the menu also sounded really good and unique, so I ordered 3 drinks. The Mung Bean Latte tastes exactly as I expected it to taste, I give it a 10/10. I requested a large, with less sweet and normal ice. It tastes perfect with the graininess from the mung bean. I would 100% order this again whenever I crave a mung bean latte! The Green Thai Milk Tea was extremely strong, and the tea taste was so concentrated. I ordered it with normal sweetness level and I found that it could even be a bit sweeter because the tea is so bitter. The tea has a strong floral flavor that lingers in your mouth for a few seconds. For those who like a nice strong tea taste, this one is perfect for you! The Iced Grass Jelly tasted like condensed milk was mixed with water and evaporated milk. There's no tea at all in this drink, just a condensed milk drink with a lot of grass jelly. If you indulge in grass jelly with a hint of sweetness, you would like this drink! If you're more a milk tea person, just know you won't get any tea in this drink. Overall, I'm pleased with the Mung Bean Latte and would come back for it, but I probably wouldn't order the other 2 drinks again. I definitely want to try the other special drinks on the menu! read more

Ever since my friends and I discovered District Tea two summers ago, it's been my favorite location for boba. After remodeling, the interior is clean and modern. I am a huge fan of their Golden Gate drink and find it perfect at 75% sweetness for me. It is soo refreshing and although I don't usually get fruit teas at other places, I always get it at District Tea and it has never let me down. Their drinks are consistently good. I also got to try their katsu sando and that makes a good meal. Highly recommend District Tea and their Golden Gate drink! read more

Delicious spot! Wish I still lived in the Mission! Pro-tip: Get the smallest amount of ice. If you do no ice, they'll charge you extra. Less ice and you'll get more to drink at the same cost. THE COST Total $21.06 (including tips) for 3 drinks. THE DRINKS The boba was the perfect consistency in all the drinks - soft with a chewy give. * Mung Bean Latte (+$0.75 for large, +$0.50 for boba, total$5.75) - 4.5 stars Lightly sweet with a slightly sandy texture (the crushed mung beans). A friend recommended this flavor and I would never have chosen this from the menu, but it was my favorite * Thai Green Milk Tea (+$0.50 for boba, +$0.50 for grass jelly, total $5.30) - 4 stars Also recommended by a friend and a close second to the Mung Bean Latte. This had an authentic flavor that balanced the bitterness of the green tea and the sweetness of the milk tea. * Mango Coconut (+$0.50 for boba, total $6.00) - 4 stars Authentic flavor, tasty but a bit overwhelming (it was a bit chilly that day for a slush. read more

So I moved back to SF now and one of the biggest thing was to find a good reliable boba spot. Decided to check out District Tea the first time sort of by divine intervention. Got a ride to Brew Cha but instead passed by District Tea first. Notice their food menu actually had some very interesting items and got curious. Proceeded to order online and went back to the car to wait. It was a bit of a wait at first because my fatass got to order some grub ya know. Egg salad sando: man I like this one a lot and I kept getting it now 3-4 times already. It's just so simple but so good. Could I make it at home? Probs but I like how balance and clean the flavor is and how nice the bread is so I'll just buy it from them lol Takoyaki: great takoyaki nothing could go wrong Onigiri: big bois that have very nice amount of fillings that are SUPER filling for your stomach XD like eat one and save the other for another day. Pop that in the airfryer the next day still tasty af ~ Now we get to the DRINKIES Ok OK For sure am 100% obsess with that mungbean latte. I am thinking about this right this moment. First of all I got so obsess with it that I made my friend get it so she can appreciate how good it is and she can confirm it is great. Last time I ordered 3 drinks: 2 for me and 1 for my other friend and I wanted the MBL for MYSELF with my crystal boba 30% sweet and my friend fricken drink it by mistake but I'm sure it look so good that he took it on purpose and that nonboba drinking boi drank the whole damn thing because it's hella good. Which mean I owe myself a MBL replacement SOON asap. Did I confess my love for the MBL to DT on instagram ? you bet I did ! Green Thai: my other one I got the first round was GT since it sound interesting but it's not my super fav since I think the MBL took the crown. This one is ok to me. Hojicha: is good nice roasted flavor for when I don't want to get MBL (JK I ALWAYS WANT TO GET MBL LOLZ) Watermelonada coconut: wow this is hella refreshing. Did I think I need this in the coldness of February yes I do and will probably be getting this often as well it's so so good. Mango fruit tea: so this one I was getting for my friend who stab my boba in the back and stole my MBL but it's ok bc this was very nice and fruity as well. 30% sweet was a nice amount of sweet too Will definitely be back often since they look to have a seasonal menu that am always looking forward to trying. My rule of buying boba (even when I go by myself) is to buy at least 2 boba: 1 something new + 1 MBL lol :) Next time I am claiming my MBL first so no one can accidentally drink it ._. read more

I came here twice once was good once was OKAY. The first time I came I ordered a milk tea and ongiri snack. Both were really good and so I decided to return this time my drink was so watery and when I asked to change it they got mad (even though on their board it says if you don't like your drink change it, no problem) so I wouldn't really go back for a drink since it did not taste good the second time. Too risky to try again. I would go back for their snacks since that seems less hard to mess up. read more

There transactions were also seamless since they have the menu right in front of your face on the pixie glass. The worker there also gave us hand sanitizer after our credit card transaction. That's when you know they also take covid precautions very seriously. I would definitely come back here any chance I get! read more

Came on the last day of restaurant week for their special. I got the katsu sando and the hong kong milk tea with boba. I also got the popcorn chicken. Katsu sando was okay, but that was mostly because I ate it cold. It stayed warm despite the weather, but because it was kept in the box, it got damp. It wasn't crispy anymore. The katsu was thick but still moist. It was a little bit on the saltier side. The bread was soft, but again a bit wet. Popcorn chicken was okay. It was fried well, but I thought it could have used more seasoning. The hong kong milk tea could have been a bit stronger and had a bit less condensed milk/sugar. The boba was good though, had the perfect amount of chew. The deal was worth it. It was only $25 for 2 sandwiches and 2 drinks. I would come back for the drinks. read more

Came in on Sunday afternoon during Valentine's Day and I honestly was disappointed in their pickup system. They have a line to pick up food so you would never know when your order was ready and while people at the front were waiting for their order, they could've called out customers names to get the line going. A simple solution would be to send out text messages for whenever the order is available for pickup. Katsu Sando was really dry. It came with white meat but I prefer dark meat. Popcorn chicken didn't come as advertised( was not topped with basil leaves) and was a little more on the dry side. Takoyaki was my favorite however it was missing the bonito flakes that it normally comes with. Also got their strawberry matcha latte for my drink and it was also good. read more

Poor customer service. First off, the worker made one of our drinks wrong and forgot to add in milk. When we told her that we ordered a milk tea, she seemed like she didn't believe us and another worker had to look for the receipt to confirm. The worker also gave us a thin straw for one of our drinks that had toppings. When we asked to get a bigger straw, she looked down at our drinks and said "why." We both felt uncomfortable and pointed out that she had given us the wrong straw that wouldn't fit our toppings. She then begrudgingly gave us another one. For the taste of our drinks, the strawberry calpico was very sweet but tasted refreshing. Would recommend getting a lower sweetness level. We also got the Castro as a milk tea, and it did not taste good. It was very watered down by the milk and did not have much flavor. The boba itself tasted flavorless as well. read more

Hello, fellow late night eaters. For a Friday night in, we ordered via Uber Eats from District Tea. Our order: POPCORN CHICKEN - 6/10 Standard popcorn chicken, nothing stand out about the spices used. By the time it arrived, it wasn't super crunchy, but it held up decently. Skewers were provided. FRIES - 3/10 As we all know: fries never do well sitting in their box. They have to be eaten right away! These fries were not immune to that. I didn't find the flavor super impactful, and would advise to add more salt to yours if you decide to order them! They do well in the air fryer, in the case you went the delivery-route like we did. SALMON ONIGIRI - 6/10 This comes in a pack of TWO! This was probably my favorite out of the bunch, but there wasn't too much filling of salmon in it. Tasted great together with the popcorn chicken, though! TUNA ONIGIRI - 5/10 Comes in a pack of two. I liked this a little less than the salmon. Thought it was okay, but would prefer more filling. ------ Overall--not bad! I will try the drinks next time, as they're better known for their drinks than their snacks (the snacks are just a perk for most boba places). I would recommend this place for those who one the one stop for boba AND snacks. But don't go here if you're just looking for a bite; I think the food is decent, but better spent somewhere with a bit more flavor. read more

I finally made it out to the Mission to try District Tea and I was NOT disappointed! My fiance and I shared 2 drinks and 2 snacks. I got the mango matcha latte while he got a mango coconut drink. We also ordered the katsu sandwich and popcorn chicken to share for lunch. The drinks were delicious with lots of fresh flavors! The boba was super soft and is now one of my favorites in SF. We also really enjoyed the snacks--the portions are HUGE! The katsu sandwich bread was so fluffy and complemented the crunchy katsu and coleslaw. The popcorn chicken was also a huge portion and was made to order, so it was extra hot and crispy. You can also get more seasoning on the side if you like it spicy! Service was great and super friendly. We met the owner Mickie, and loved her stance on helping the community and giving back to the Bay Area. Give District Tea a try! read more

I wish I came here sooner!!! I can't believe I've been missing out on this gem. The quality of the drinks were absolutely delightful. We ordered three drinks: the Assam milk tea, Hong Kong milk tea, and Roasted Oolong milk tea. You could actually taste the tea and it didn't taste like just creamer. All of the drinks were 30% sweet, except for the HK mt which had a fixed sugar level. Regardless, we thought the sugar level for each drink was perfect! It also came with the perfect amount of boba - not too much or too little. For food, we ordered the spam masubi, tonkatsu masubi, and 2 boxes of popcorn chicken. I appreciated the extra seasoning we received (maybe upon mentioning that we liked it spicy)! Crispy popcorn chicken with perfectly wrapped masubi was so filling for 3 people - we actually couldn't finish! The food was delicious, especially the popcorn chicken which had dried basil in it (authentic af!). It doesn't seem like a lot, but it'll fill you up! As for the parking situation - it's not that bad. We went around 1pm on a Thursday and there were plenty of places to park. read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was quite busy! There is no seating and the shop is pretty small so it did feel cramped while I was waiting. It took about 20 minutes to order and receive my taro latte and popcorn chicken. The latte had no added sugar - the sweetness is purely from the taro. Unfortunately for someone like me that actually prefers 100% sugar level drinks, the latte ended up tasting a little too healthy if you know what I mean. The popcorn chicken was great and I loved that it came with additional spice that I could dip the chicken into! read more

I came here for the Yelp event, so two of my items were free and I bought two things to take home and share. I arrived right at opening time (11) but the door was locked. It was raining sideways and I tried in vain to catch someone's eye but no luck. After 10 minutes I called to ask what time they opened (thankfully they had a phone number unlike so many places now) and they said we are open now. They quickly ran to unlock the door and were very apologetic. I ordered an iced mung bean latte with grass jelly 50% sweet because I was feeling adventurous and this is not something I had seen before. I didn't really like it but liked that they have several caffeine free options (taro and grass jelly with sweetened condensed milk are two others). Next time I'm going for my usual order of strawberry matcha latte. I got a Lychee fruit tea for my son and he said it was amazing. I tasted it. The jasmine flavor was quite strong for me but he absolutely loved it. Also ordered tuna onigiri. 2 for $7. Really cheap! The flavor of these were okay. The tuna was kind of bland and it had a very salty sauce that I did not care for. There was also very little filling. I guess I'd rather pay $5 for one onigiri with more filling. It also fell apart quite easily, so it was a bit messy to eat. There are no tables at the space so I was eating in my car. Final item was pork tonkatsu musubi. For the uninitiated, musubi is basically a rectangular onigiri and is often made with spam. This was a pork version and it was absolutely devoured at my house. I was berated for not buying more. A winner! Overall this place was cute and the service (once I got in the door) was very friendly and efficient. The menu is fairly extensive for drinks, so I would love to come back and try again with different teas until I find my thing. One last note and I think this is on Yelp. They were using big red plastic straws (there was the Yelp logo on the wrapper), which are banned in SF unless you specifically request one due to a disability (yes, I just read the ordinance). Do better Yelp! And really do better me because I do have a glass straw that I should have brought with me. read more

Highly recommend their jasmine milk tea with oat milk! My boyfriend tried their strawberry matcha refresca and ranked it a 5/10. It tasted fresh but we just didn't care for it. If we had gotten the strawberry matcha latte, it might have been better but would not recommend the refresca. We also tried their popcorn chicken and they don't skimp out. They gave us plenty of popcorn chicken, they were juicy when you bit into them but their seasoning was okay. Probably won't get their popcorn chicken again but at least you get your money's worth! read more
