Friendly as always and love that everything about the shop still feels the same as their first location. I used to always go here afterschool back in 2017! Im still so glad i keep in touch with my usual order. read more

Frostea - Lavender Black Milk Tea, my go to order since highschool back in 2017!!! When their location used to be by evergreen daly city. - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here with my boyfriend on 4/26/2026. He ordered shrimp and a large black tea, but the employee at the counter charged him for chicken, which is more expensive. When we pointed it out, she did not offer to correct the charge or issue a refund. On top of that, the service was very poor. She walked away before I could place my order, handed him his drink, then walked away again. She stood near the food being cooked without acknowledging me, and after giving him his order, simply said "have a good day" and walked off again leaving me without even placing any order. Because of this experience, I chose not to order anything and left, as I felt completely ignored. Unfortunately, I won't be returning and I now understand why there was no costumers . read more

i mean the food is fine i only get the macaroon ice cream the service isnt that good but depends who's working that day the ambiance is fine too feels like a child made the interior which says a lot because i am a child and its like that cartoon with the mermaid and shark kinda reminds me of that but in a bad way but i come kinda often when i visit my aunt's store read more

I ordered the chicken nibblers and shrimp from here and when it was delivered, I saw a raw shrimp in my order! Disgusting, what the hell? Don't recommend ordering or coming to this place. Update: I woke up this morning with a very sensitive stomach. I ate some chicken nibblers and drank the Oreo boba tea I ordered along with them and have been making frequent trips to the restroom. I really shouldn't have because everything must have been cross contaminated. With the way the shrimp was delivered, I have reason to believe this was an intentional decision made by one of the employees. The food was delivered as pictured which means that somebody saw the undercooked shrimp, put it in the container, shrugged, and sent it out for delivery. This place has people working that don't care about anyones well being. Never order from this place. I never will again. read more

Worker there was great, especially during the rain. drink was good as well, boba tastes very similar to how it was at old location, back at Daly City read more

- Only tried one of the drinks, but FrosTea has other dessert items available. - Drink came out quick. Ordered a medium and surprised to see it's a wide bowl size. Flavor was okay, but some of the boba tasted old/hard. - There are no seating areas at the moment. read more

I use to always go to frosTea when they were located at top of the hill Daly City. Boba was great, their snacks were delicious, staff was friendly. Since they moved to the excelsior, their quality has definitely declined. I have given it multiple chances hoping it was just the staff working when I go, but each time the quality has gotten worse. Sometimes it's the amount of time it has taken to receive my order (even when calling ahead), once my order was wrong. When I use to get it at their last location, they had a small station with chili powder and more, they no longer offer this. Today I ordered "seasoned fries"and "chicken nibblers"... neither of which was seasoned. I asked the staff if she can add salt and chili powder, but she says they don't have any. I also asked if I can sweet chili sauce; apparently they don't carry that either. All they have is craft sweet & sour sauce, which the staff didn't know where it was even located. I'm sad I'm going to have to leave this place in the past, but especially for the price, this place is no longer worth it read more

FrosTea is on a busy street in this area. Parking is street parking, which can be hit or miss. It was not that busy when I went, so our drinks came out in a timely manner. The exterior of the shop pops out with the color scheme and signage, and the interior of the shop is a bit dark and mismatched. I really wanted to like this place because they offer more than just the typical boba drinks and snacks. They also have desserts - such as macaron cookies, macaron ice cream, and shaved snow. I ordered their green milk tea, mango slushy, and macaron ice cream (green tea and mango flavored). The milk tea was horrible - it tasted bitter and watered down. The mango slushy was decent - it was refreshing and sweet, but slightly tart. The macaron ice cream was eh - it did not taste as fresh like it has been in the freezer for a long time (they tasted very icy). read more

I ordered delivery from here with low expectations, and I have to say... FrosTea isn't that bad. It's old school boba, and akin to Quickly's - similar base menu items, artificial flavors, questionable ingredients... I feel bad giving a low rating, because technically they're sort of okay for what they are, but a ton of other places have better versions of what they offer. I liked the chicken nibblers, which tasted like cut up pieces of chicken tenders. What made it extra good was their house sauce, which is pretty much a sriracha aioli. I really liked the heat it brought - just enough to get a good kick in the flavor without being overwhelming. I had the medium box all to myself as a meal (yes very healthy), and it was enough to make me full. My black milk tea had enough honey boba to fill three separate drinks. I didn't take a great angle shot of it, but that thing is super wide even in medium size. The boba was not bad, though hardened within an hour. The slightly sweet option (between zero and half sweet) was definitely sweet enough, couldn't imagine having more. I liked adding the rose flavor because it's a pretty good hint of rose without tasting like potpourri. I liked the extra petal bits, too! The shaved snow was icy and sweet, and my fresh milk flavor tasted like icy condensed milk. I was hoping it wouldn't be too sweet, thinking that the milk flavor would be the most neutral out of their flavor selections, but they even drizzled a light sweet syrup over everything. The mochi tasted a little hardened as if it was previously frozen, and the fresh fruit of the day was banana with some brown spots. I do wish the best for this place, but I hope they realize that they need to modernize to stay in business now. Even Quickly's wised up and started changing their menu and adding more fresh ingredients. FrosTea should get rid of artificial sweeteners and flavors to instead make fresh homemade purees - people will then taste the difference. By offering so many different flavors, they're only really catering to little children with undeveloped taste - which, I guess if that's their only clientele, then I understand why they wouldn't change. Almost every boba shop now offers fresh taro and fresh avocado with their respective flavored drinks, so that's what people expect now. At the very least, they should have a couple homemade drinks that they can prepare, but as it stands, it looks like everything uses an artificial flavoring which doesn't taste good. read more

Haven't been here for over 5 years. This place brings nothing but good memories. Today was just not the case. They have a sign on the left side of the counter stating that if a customer gives them a review they'll give them a free large drink. I over heard the person in front of me take advantage of the offer and I tried to do so as well. After helping the customer in front of me clerk left for about 5 minutes without acknowledging me. She comes by and just says "go" expecting me to state my order. I tell her about the offer I want to take advantage of and she says that the offer is only valid hours after it has been done. I bring it to her attention that the customer in front of me has no issue with the offer being offered at the moment and she replies with "yes he will do it now" ... which begs to differ... why is it that I can't but he can? HOWEVER!! If you want a free large drink give them a review and show up next day or within a few hours! read more

Going to miss this place. Been going here for 7 years since they opened... my friends used to work here. Moved down to SoCal for school and came back for break to find that they had closed down :( though the sign is gone, my memories won't be forgotten. Used to study here after school waiting for the bus or to get picked up, walked here during COVID after playing basketball. Always fast, consistent... End of an era. read more

Frostea - Mango Green Tea & Rose Black Tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Frostea - Chicken nibblers. The saddest bunch I have ever seen! Looks nothing like the other photos. - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Having worked in the service industry for 3 decades, 2 of them in fine dining and many of those 20 years as a bartender, i try to be patient with service industry folks, especially in basic, entry level roles. But this last experience prompts me to waste an additional 10 minutes assembling some feedback and perhaps shed some light on why i am doing so. My wife likes this empty-calorie-waste-of-money boba tea so i acquiesce to her demand for one on occasion. This new location adds 10 minutes to my round trip but hey, it's my wife. Nobody there upon entry and both associates were absorbed by smartphones. I was served promptly and politely upon arrival at the register and clearly ordered a slightly sweet (holding pinched fingers up in gesticulation to emphasize slightly) black milk tea with boba only and spring rolls as requested by the boss. Waited 10 minutes (rolls, ok), no worries, even tipped 15%. Whatever. Wife tastes it upon sitting down to do our taxes and discovers it very sweet or 100%, not slightly or 25% sweet, some places even offer 10% sweet but this is something, the only thing, I usually order although I did order a slushy for myself this time. Her tea was undrinkable. I had to drive back down and, now that it was punctured, spilled it in the car (about 20% of a 32 ounces). I'm disappointed that two employees could manage to not make two drinks correctly, managing only one. They promised free drinks next time and apologized (I think?) but being that I will need more than one $7 drink as compensation for my inconvenience, I hope the owners will contact me and offer some sort of assurance I will receive additional compensation for this. It's ridiculous that I was the only customer, the only order. I mean, come on! I even tipped on a non-sit down to-go order, 15%. It's just disrespectful and insulting. Not spending another dime of my hard-earned money until ownership contacts and properly compensates me for my time, energy and Saturday afternoon. read more

Ordered the new chicken nibblers to try it out but was completely disappointed. First look it seems as if it was fried a long time ago and reheated to be served. First bite it was crispy but lacked any flavor and was a drier than other places' popcorn chicken. Not good but at least it was edible. Wouldn't return for the nibblers read more

Frostea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love how this boba place has popping boba! It was a warm day when I first tried this place and it was so nice to have a slushie drink with some boba. I really enjoyed my drink as it was sweet but not crazy sweet. The strawberry lemon is a good combo and the popping boba was perfect to smooth the deal. For $4.50 for a large drink is a pretty good price and the drinks are huge. You can also select the sweetness and toppings that you want to add. I highly recommend coming here and the lines aren't long either! read more

Frostea - Large strawberry lemon slushie with strawberry popping boba ($4.50 + $0.70 fancy topping) - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Their medium sized boba tea is huge! It's more than a regular sized boba cup and doesn't fit the car cup holder. Luckily, I wasn't on the drive while sipping on it, but enjoying it a patio home. It was great lounging and snacking on their chicken nibblers with gyozas! Their hot items are lacking flavor. I like how you can add flavor to the tea. I ordered up lavender as the addition to calm my nerves. I ordered through DoorDash. Lovely. read more

I understand why this place only has 3 stars, unfortunately they deliver as a 3 star boba place. I really wanted this place to be good and give it a try. I ordered online and the food came quicker than expected which I thought was a plus. However, i order a honeydew drink and instead of just telling me while i picked up my order they left a note on the drink saying, "we ran out of honeydew and filled it with kiwi instead. Thank you." I was pretty bummed out about this because the kiwi was just absolutely awful in my opinion. It was bitter and did not taste like kiwi at all. Wish they had told me sooner. read more

Accidentally decided to come here for boba and was quickly disappointed. They do not offer the yelp check-in and only offer 5 star rewards program. Ordered two drinks and a shaved snow. Fresh fruit was unavailable for the shaved snow so we were again disappointed. The drinks are powder based so just ok and make sure to alter sugar level otherwise drinks are overly too sweet. Probably will never come back here. read more

Same great service same great drinks. The Mozzarella sticks are TOO good it's dangerous. My girlfriend and I come here atleast once a week read more

This area of San Francisco/Daly City is honestly a bit deprived of milktea, and having this as an option is really sweet. I am personally a big fan of taro drinks and thai drinks, so when I can, I like to mix the two together. My cousin enlightened me about this mix, calling it of course "Thairo". I of course ordered it at FrosTea and really liked it. For the size I got, it was also a wonderful value, something I wouldn't expect this far up the peninsula and appreciate very much. The employees were super nice while we ordered, were playing some good music(Shout out Zico - Any Song), and were super fast with the drink. No time was wasted, I think upon me ordering, the girl behind the girl taking my order got started, and had it out before my girlfriend could finish her transaction. I have no complaints, only compliments. Looking forward to ordering the same drink again :-) read more

Frostea - Proof that my drink came out before my girlfriend finished ordering. - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Friend asked to try this place out so I did! I don't really like driving to tgis part of town though and parking is a pain. Having to walk three blocks on Mission St also wasn't my favorite. The shop itself was cute. Very clean, fresh, and tasteful. Staff waa friendly, too. Got myself a regular milk tea. It was okay... good. The tea flavor wasn't my favorite but it was decent. The chubby cup was very cute though and made it stand out from other placea. It was a little bit for my hands so I kinda had to hold it with two hands :) read more

This place has moved its location and luckily, it's basically the same distance from my home as the other one was. The quality is still just as good - if not better than it was before. We get boba from here every week! It's definitely the largest portion I've every seen. They also have coconut coffee on their menu now. My only complaint is that they need to offer a larger size of it bc I finish it in 90 seconds. read more

Average taste. Now I'm a boba fiend. Actually now I no longer put boba in my drink though, I'm an adult. Jk my current mood is fruity 1/2 sweet green tea varieties. That being said here's the run-down. Sweet angel coworker is obsess with boba and would always everyday ask people if they want boba and she bring it for them during her break. This happen to be the closest boba shop and they probably see a lot of business from my work place. Heck our mgt even treat us to boba randomly sometime. Bless my work. So I drink a lot of drinks here and they've all been decent. Not spectacular. Normally if you get anything for free it should automatically get a +3 in taste but not even my free drink was super. The customization is not bad: you pick a base tea, flavor and toppings. But then sometime you're just way too lazy to think of something good so sometime I just stick to the basic: Lychee green tea. I'm trying to pretend to be healthy and I do half sweet but it still seem really sweet. You get a good decent size that will last you a good couple hours. One thing is their preset 2 flavor tea wont let you customize sweetness level. Got one of those and it was WAY TOO DAMN SWEET. The flavor combo seem really fun like mango and pineapple, honey and kiwi or w/e but it's not worth the hyperglycemia. Service is mostly fast. Sometime friendly sometime not. Nice bathroom though. It's a place to go when you need some boba and you only got a 15 min break . read more

I think This is one of the best boba shop in my opinion people should give it a try is on Daly City it has so many flavors to get

This place is a great boba spot in Daly City! They have some very solid boba and are really quick every time! We park either directly in front or usually a block back in front of the Walgreen for a quick stroll over. You can also order via Yelp, which I highly recommend. The only reason why I'm giving them a 4 star review is because If you aren't a dairy fan, you have some pretty limited options. I tried to say "no milk" on some milk tea drinks a couple times and it was not successful. You can still get like a Green or Black tea though! read more

Happened to stumble upon this place randomly. Took the 14 to the last stop. When I got off, I saw TEAA!! Hot day, need something refreshing. It's a really tiny place, fit for maybe 20 people. There are games in the corner by the store front window so help yourself to Sorry, Connect Four, etc. On the counter, there were free sample of drinks. For the teas, $3.25 medium/$4 large for Green, Black, or Thai tea. If you want it flavored, slap on another $.50 for 1, or $.74 for 2. I got the Thai tea for my friend and a Black tea passion fruit (they ran out of pomegranate SO SAD). Took them a while to make my drink. They are served in chubby cups! The Thai tea tasted a little powdery... That's a big nono. The black tea passion fruit tasted better. You can't control the sweetness level but the drink wasn't very sweet. I might come back to try their shaved snow and MAYBEEE another tea... read more

Passed by this place for over a month and decided to give them my business. I ordered a coconut green tea boba. It was disgusting. They used syrup for flavoring and tea was not freshly brewed. The drink wasn't even cold. They charged extra for toppings and flavors. So, the drink was $6. read more

I'm always down to try a new boba place and luckily this new place was located near Daly City Bart. This boba place is located on Mission St. next to the Hideout and parking is located all on the streets and metered till 6pm unless you go for residential parking but that might be a little harder to do. The inside of this shop was cute with large windows allowing more sunlight to come through. There are board games on a fixture to the corner right and a few tables and chairs to sit at. One large TV in the room so you can watch music videos while you chill. The menu itself is pretty simple. You got some options for snow ice and smoothies and then there are the tea options with different flavors and add-ons. I ended up getting a small black tea with peach mango flavoring and honey boba. The total came out to around $4.60 I think? A decent price since the cups they use are the chubby ones that aren't really cup holder compliant. There was one older lady working when I went and she was multi-tasking between being cashier, making the drinks, and making the snow ice so I had to wait a bit but it wasn't a big deal. When I got my drink, I was pretty darn excited. If this place was good then I'll have a new place to go to all the time. At first sip, it was good. My boyfriend even said that the flavors were really strong in this drink so that was good. And it stayed good until a few hours later when the boba ended up getting too hard to chew and the drink just tasted like straight up sugar that I couldn't even drink it anymore. Overall, I'm down to try this place again. I've read some good reviews on their snow ice so I'll be back to try that out when I get the chance. read more

FrosTea Boba and Shaved Snow Cafe is located in Daly City. After a meal, I was looking forward a drink. Using Yelp, I found this place. The staff was friendly and helpful as I scanned the menu. I ended up ordering a Red Guava Green Tea with Rainbow Jelly. After a few minutes wait, I got my drink. It was refreshing and yummy.

It looks like a day care inside (I find it amusing), the staff are mandarin & English speaking. They sell convenience a couple of store snacks: hi chews and shrimp chips on top of their menu read more

Cozy interior that can probably accommodate around 20 people. Looks like it'd be a nice place to hang out with friends as they do have a couple games available, as well as a TV playing music/YouTube videos. I ordered the medium lavender milk tea, half sweet. Sweetness level was perfect but the tea was diluted. I also didn't taste the lavender so it was just diluted milk tea to me. However, the mango lemon tea they had for sampling tasted promising, so I might come back to try their fruity teas and shaved snow! Good portion size for the price! Medium is a chubby cup for a little over $4 (tax-included). Parking is super difficult in the area. If you're just planning to grab-and-go, you can probably risk 30 minute parking at Walgreens around the corner. Their menu also doesn't include milk teas, so I was confused as a first-timer. I did enjoy that they are part of the FiveStars rewards program, that they take credit card with no minimum, and that they have a really clean restroom. Decent place that I may stop by when I'm in the area and want something to drink. read more

Conveniently located in Daly City and no one goes, so there's no wait. So yeah, I'll give this place 3.5 stars just for that. And where else in Daly City can I get some snow? There were a lot of topping options, so fuck yeah, you get a gold star for that. Was the snow good? Meh, it was mediocre. But I'm just glad they have it. And parking isn't a problem too...park at the Goldilocks plaza if you can't find street parking. read more

Sorry but this place is GARBAGE!! My friends and I ordered a few drinks for delivery from this place over the weekend. Our order: avocado smoothie, mango pineapple smoothie, black tea no sugar no ice, green tea with mango, passion fruit and grass jelly (no added sugar), and popcorn chicken. The avocado smoothie was extremely sweet and not even drinkable. We knew that they'd probably use powder for the smoothie but with a price of $5+, you would expect them to use some fresh fruit... the mango pineapple smoothie was also just WAY too sweet. We weren't able to finish this drink. The black tea no sugar was the only good drink- it was literally just black tea with no ice so no complaints. The drink I ordered was the green tea with mango and passion fruit- I ordered no sugar because I knew that there would be sweetness coming from the syrup they use for the fruit flavors. It was still extremely sweet!! I had to pour water into my drink to make it bearable. The chicken was also bad... it was dry and tasted like it was stale. Do not recommend :/ What's annoying about this place when you're ordering online, (if you're getting tea) you're forced to order your drink flavored. And if you don't want to add flavors for your drink, you have to select "no ice." it makes no sense and the extra flavors cost $0.50 each so you're paying like nearly $6 for a drink. Apparently the shaved snow is popular here so if you ever end up having to go here then try that? Otherwise don't waste your money here!! read more

I like the strawberry popping boba. Can't think of a tea to really go with it so I always get strawberry milk tea. Tried the popcorn shrimp, which came with a sriracha based sauce. Such a good snack! read more

I was so disappointed by this place. I decided to give this place a try despite all the bad reviews, because I had just finished eating at Tselogs. I read the bad reviews and thought, "this place can't be that bad, right?" Wrong :( Atmosphere: The place was cute. I really had such high hopes. I thought to myself, "if this place is good, I can see myself coming here to do some work on my laptop." They had boardgames and stuff too, so I thought it'd be a cool place to hang out. Service: The workers were extremely nice and the service was great. What we ordered: -Coconut rose green milk tea: there was WAY too much rose in there. It was like I licked a candle. I could barely taste the coconut. The "honey boba" was not sweet at all. In fact, the lack of taste from the boba was the only thing that made the drink bearable, since it took away from the rose flavor. The texture of the boba was as if they'd been sitting there for at least 24 hours. I was so disappointed because I got the drink because the worker said this was popular. -Coconut caramel black milk tea: we usually order this from Tpumps, so we thought this would taste similar. Boy were we wrong. This tasted like watered down Vitasoy...which doesn't taste anything like coconut caramel black milk tea o_o. I liked this better than the rose drink but that doesn't mean that it was good either. And again, the honey boba was just not good. I really tried to like this place but I can really see where all the bad reviews came from. I definitely will not be coming back to get my boba fix read more
