Been here several times & while in the area decided to ask if they are offering a K-pop collab. The person answering the phone didn't have any customer service etiquette, she didn't greet me in a way that made me feel like a customer. I felt more like a nuisance asking her if they are doing a collab. Calling over the phone really left a bad impression that I feel was unwarranted. read more

Finally, a boba shop that actually has the avocado smoothie in stock! Most places sell out because it's so popular, but Foam came through--and with real avocado too. Their avocado smoothie was incredibly fresh, creamy, and not overly sweet. The boba was perfectly chewy and tasted super fresh, making it even better. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Went here for the BTS Arirang album release weekend. They even played the album on shuffle the whole day! Was too early for the vendors to set up and there was no boba ready when we got there at 10am, but no matter. Our drinks were amazing! I got the Tiger Milk Tea with egg pudding and my husband got the Very Berry Tonic with aloe jelly. read more

Nice neighborhood boba spot on Taraval. I went here a couple years ago at their location across the street. They just opened this new location where rolling out cafe used to be. It's spacious and great for small groups to get a table and sit at and relax. I ordered a 30% sweet Hong Kong milk tea with grass jelly and popcorn chicken. The tea wasn't too bad, I usually get around 30% or less sweetness level drinks. I think I should have gotten 50% for this one because it would have tasted better if it were just a tad sweeter but that just comes down to preference. The chicken was almost $10 after tax. Good sized portion though. The chicken was pretty salty. Overall a good list of drinks and looking forward to coming back to try more things. read more

I've been to this place a handful of times. They close early, so it's hard for me to visit regularly. Many times it after I eat pho next door and I'm too late. It's been unusually warm and I was able to stop by for early afternoon refreshment. I was surprised to see that they offer sugar cane juice--perfect drink for a hot Indian summer day. I ordered the passionfruit sugarcane juice and it was very refreshing, naturally sweet--no added sugars. It's a small shop with limited seating, but it's nice that they offer seating. The person behind the counter was super friendly. You can order on the kiosk, if paying by card or at the counter if by cash. They are also located up the block from Sarang Hello and across the street from the post office. If want refreshments/snacks after errands, it's a great place to take a break. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

I love Foam. Their drinks are some of the best drinks you'll have! I had the mixed fruit drink and the other drinks, and you can never go wrong with any of them! Their food, is tasty, especially the onion rings, French fries, popcorn chicken and the spring rolls. It's great for a quick snack or a filling lunch! The service is always good and the folks working there are always willing to answer your questions and helpful. Small little spot so grab your food and drinks to go or stay for a quick meal. It can get busy, so have your order ready to go, beforehand! Photocards are of ENHYPEN members, made by @jerodellee on Instagram and Tik Tok read more

Craving popcorn chicken and there aren't too many places we know that make them nowadays in our neighborhood. After a quick search, hubs suggested trying Foam Tea House. Small place, but there were a couple of tables and seating along the window. We ordered at the kiosk - roasted oolong milk tea w/ grass jelly, Thai tea, popcorn chicken and fries. Drinks came out quickly. I ordered the roasted oolong with 30% sugar and less ice. I tend to like my teas strong, and this was a little weak for me. Hubs ordered the Thai tea, which was good. Faves were the snacks as they were made to order and came out hot and crispy. Popcorn chicken was crispy and perfect amount of saltiness. Fries were also hot, and I enjoyed them with the Sriracha ketchup. Hubs and I agreed that we'd each order our own fries and popcorn chicken next time. Would love if they offered a combo deal. read more

We came here after getting pho next door . It's a small place and they don't have much seating room but it seemed pretty popular . They have a self order kiosk available which was slightly confusing to use because you couldn't see exactly which section of the menu belonged to which drink . I got the winter melon foam milk tea with crystal boba . My drink was super yummy and I'll definitely be back . read more

After having lunch, decided to get some boba tea (is a must stop) . Ordered on the kiosk, after the order was submitted in the server made the drinks quickly. We had the lemon kumquat green tea with basil seed, refreshing!!!! For this excessive heat wave. Wanted to order some snacks since it looks like they had many options but was too full :( next time! Oh and the seal on the cup was super cute! Couldn't help it! Haha read more

Came here after grabbing lunch at Dumpling Time up to block. Upon entering, I walked up to the kiosk TouchPad and ordered their Mango Slush with Sago and Panda Milk Tea. Relatively easy and paid with card. It was pretty quiet but normal, considering it was a weekday. Drinks came out fast and loaded with a generous amount of toppings. There's limited seating inside, a bit worn. Interior is decorated with custom art and has a nostalgic charm. Staff was pleasant, and we were out the door within minutes. read more

One of my besties and I were in the mood for our boba fix this past weekend. Since both of us prefer dairy alternatives, thankfully Foam offers their milk teas with Almond Milk. Both of us ordered a Matcha Milk Tea with boba in Almond Milk. Our orders were ready within 2 minutes. They give generous portions of matcha that it covered at least half of our drink. The matcha flavor was not too overpowering and it blended well with the almond milk tea's sweetness. The boba was perfectly chewy, sweet and not tough. The ambiance was impressive because of their printed cup event dedicated to Jihyo's solo release. As a Once (Twice stan), I was truly fond of the posters and the provided cups and photocards. Foam frequently collaborates with Saranghello for any cupsleeve or printed cup events. Moving forward, Foam is now my go-to boba shop along Taraval Street in San Francisco's Sunset district! read more

I LOVE foam tea house's boba. It's perfectly made and super chewy. I come here often. My only gripe with foam is that I wish the drinks were more customizable. I find most of them too sweet and I wish I could go with more milk alternatives. read more

They have a new and spacious location across the street! We visited their soft opening today, it's amazing! The owner made me a special drink with coconut water and matcha, it's so refreshing and it keeps the calories low I don't know the name of the drink but will definitely go back for that again! Same great service as usual, with more seatings. Can't wait to see what they will offer at the new location! read more

Did you know you can get your image on the foam tea here? That's the best thing about this place. Average drinks with slow service, even when empty. I'm not sure why they always get my order wrong. Oolong tea with salty cheese foam. Does it seem that hard, does it? Their fruit tea is lackluster, and even without sugar, I think it's presweetened because it's quite sugary. Still 3 stars average. read more

Got a lime green tea with lychee jelly (30% sweet). It was refreshing and just the right amount of tarty tanginess. I think I can go even less sweet and it would still be delicious. The cashier who also made our drinks was very nice and gave us suggestions on what to get. The shop is tiny and cute. They offer a lot of different drinks and toppings I'm sure everyone can find something they'll enjoy! read more

I wanted to try this place after passing by it so many times and I finally got the chance to recently. I got the lychee oolong tea, which was really good. Their menu has a ton of options to choose from, including plenty of brewed tea, which I typically go for. They also have a lot of food options, which I was tempted to order, but I had to save room for dinner, so I didn't get any food. However, all of their options look really good, so I'd like to try them next time. The drink was great. I added aloe vera as a topping and it was awesome. The only downside to this place is that it is quite pricey. I believe the drink was $7-8 which is quite expensive in my opinion. The size of the cup isn't that big either, so I think for the amount you're getting, it is a bit overpriced. The ordering process is also on a kiosk, so I can't really judge customer service on this one. However, I would consider going back if I'm around the area because the drink was good. read more

I'm so sorry, this place is bad LOL. The smell when you enter is like... A mix of greasy food and humidity. Not very appetizing. I really wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt bc it's very much a mom and pop shop... Cute hand-drawn wall art and humble decor... But this quality is kind of unforgivable :') FRESH FRUIT TEA (30% sweet w/crystal boba): This is pretty much all syrup. Mouth-stingingly sweet. I don't think they rinsed the excess syrup off the crystal boba (it comes preserved in liquid packs). The fresh fruit outside is probably just decor The staff graciously let us use their restroom, but I kind of wish we didn't....... It was filthy, unflushed, and cluttered full of boxes. Questionable hygiene for sure... read more

Came in around 7pm on a Friday night and it wasn't busy. The place is pretty small with a few seats. The walls are cutely decorated with boba inspired artwork. You order and pay on a large standing screen. There is a small service fee. Parking is pretty easy as well. There are many drink options there as well as a good variety of small snacks (rice rolls, popcorn chicken, etc.). I ordered the original milk tea (80% sweet, no boba) as well as the cantaloupe sago drink (50% sweet). I loved the sago drink! It reminds me of Hong Kong dessert cafes and wasn't too sweet. Milk tea is pretty standard, and I was charged extra for getting no ice. The flavor is fairly milky. The man making the drinks was very nice, and the drinks came out very quickly. Overall, spent about $13 on two drinks, which is pretty normal these days. Didn't try the boba, but overall, good place for a quick Asian drink fix. read more

I usually expect a boba shop to smell of brown sugar and tapioca, but this one actually had more aromas of food - things like fish balls and fries. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not as sweet as I'm used to. The girls at the counter were friendly and helpful with clarifying drinks. They mentioned that the mango green tea is one of their popular items so I ordered that for bae - tea was strong, but lacked in mango flavor. I asked if the Oreo frap was essentially an Oreo milkshake and they said yes. I didn't think you could go wrong with that, but I guess there's a first for everything. If you took a handful of Oreo cookies and blended them with ice only, you'd get the Oreo frappucino from Foam. Just crushed up ice with cookie bits. I couldn't tell you if there was milk or anything else, but it was horrendous and a mistake that I wish I could take back. I stopped after 2 sips and brought it home so that I could pour in some milk and salvage whatever was left. UPDATE: On second thought, there might be some teensy bit of milk in the drink because bae won't stop farting... read more

I love it! High quality food and good prices. Nice staff and cute background perfect for studying or chatting with friends

I want for an event that was hosted at this location we were really excited for the experience and the drinks! We all ordered a tiger milk tea, the place looked amazing but very small for the amount of people that attended this event. once we got our drinks it looked yummy, not shortly after we started drinking it we noticed how all of our drinks tasted different despite being the same drink we kinda brushed it off but later on felt very sick. I'm not sure if it was because they were rushing because of the event or what but that caused us to get poorly made drinks and to get sick, even a day after the event we still feel sick. Note: tapioca pearls had odd texture as if it was sitting out a day or night prior to the event. After mixing our drinks it wasn't sweet more bitter despite being 100% sweet and after taking a sip of it I got a huge chunk of hardened sugar//syrup. Hope this issue gets fixed or other peoples experiences were better but sadly mine and my friends wasn't the best. read more

Really disappointed and I don't think I'll be returning, which is a shame since there's a k-pop store conveniently across the street. The Osmanthus Oolong Tea was: + watered down + had way too much cheese foam + LITERALLY felt like I was just drinking milk + no osmanthus oolong flavor at all + DO NOT get this drink... Some better things about this place: + very cute and unique logo + good variety on the menu + you can pay via Venmo read more

The overall aesthetic this place is really cute! We ordered one Hong Kong style Milk Tea, Brown Sugar, and Roasted Oolong. The Hong Kong Milk Tea is still on the bitter side even though we ordered 50% sweetness. It's overall really good though! The Brown Sugar Milk Tea was pretty good. The Oolong was also pretty good! The only issue was the boba being a bit harder but it's totally OK! It was also really cute how they used black cups instead of the see through ones though it was tougher to differentiate. read more

love foam!! best mango sago in the city! they recently moved across the street and now has a much bigger space!

Great staff and a lot of choices for drinks. My go to place for Boba whenever I am in town.

Mom's doc office was full of people? That's how I ended up here. It's rare to see Vietnamese sugarcane juice on this side of the bay (including Oakland). I asked for one and one that's hot. The boss was a little surprised but nothing's impossible. Kumquat is always added but since this is a hot one, they skipped it. It's still pretty good. While I was reading my 蔡澜 book for 5 minutes, mom's done and showed up. I really like sugarcane drinks and promise to write a review for others to know. The boss claimed this should be the only place in SF or at least in Sunset that sells it. If you like it too, here you go. read more
