Not going to lie, I do not get the HeyTea hype! I wish I did. They have so much fun drinks, but…read moreunfortunately the drinks sound tastier than they actually are. Or at least that's how it's been in my experience. I've been to this location twice, and it was my first time ever trying HeyTea here, too. I was so excited because I know they line up for this (which means it must be good, right?) at Stonestown mall, but the wait here is chill in comparison! There isn't really interaction with anyone, but that doesn't really bother me with these sorts of places. Both times I've gotten drinks from here, I was so disappointed. There is really a lack of flavor/ sweetness going on, and I don't know if that's just the case with this specific location. The first time, I thought it was my fault because I ordered it less sweet. I tend to order my boba tea drinks less sweet because I find that the recommended is usually too much for me. But it tasted just like ice to me with the slightest hint of flavor. The second time I tried it super sweet and it TASTED THE EXACT SAME AS LESS SWEET. I had to go back and ask for syrup to be added because I wasn't going to accept the fact that my $7+ drink was not to my liking for the second time. I don't think I'll ever consider HeyTea again!

My favorite is the peach green tea! Love that you can adjust the sweetness level and they don't charge extra when you ask for no ice! If you go in person make sure you ask for the tea experience where they teach how the tea is picked and brewed.

Everything if fresh but it's almost $10/drink. Not for those on a budget. I entered my phone number when ordering on the kiosk but ended up going up to ask if ours drinks were ready because it was 13 minutes already. They 4 drinks were ready at the pick up counter. After I sat back down, I received the text that the drinks were ready. We were trying to have a conversation at one of the large round tables but there was a large party next to us playing games and yelling making it hard to talk.

I have to say, this place has been in my bookmarks for years. Feed Mei Mei brought me here lol…read more This is one of those iPad order, little to no customer service interaction, quiet and clean interior with few seating area type of places. Which I love haha Drink ratings: Mango sticky rice 4.5 out of 5- I added drinkable mochi and asked for less sweet. I think I'd enjoy this more if this had nugget ice instead. Feed me ube 4 out of 5- I think I would've enjoyed this with whole milk instead of rice milk. Maybe if I added drinkable mochi to this too. I can't figure out what was missing for me. I liked it but it was just missing something Crème brûlée 4 out of 5- added honey bobas this was really good! Definitely recommend with whole milk. Overall, this is a must if you're in the area! Definitely worth the wait

I ordered 25 percent sweet and it's still very sweet. Boba was great. Soft and fluffy. I really loved my daughter's drink as well. Loved coming here and trying it. Not too far from the ferry building. But not super close. It was great walking off the drink. Would come again. There are two seats inside for those that would need to sit otherwise take it and go.

Still my favorite boba place in SF. The boba have a nice bouncy chew. When this store first opened…read morethe boba was super bouncy which I loooved. It's still good overall though. The black sugar fresh milk has a nice caramelized sugar flavor hence the name of the shop "Black Sugar." They charge $0.50 for either oat or almond milk, so it's no longer free fyi. I can't drink caffeine often so I can't speak about the milk teas. I really appreciate how clear the menu is regarding dairy free and caffeine options. The taro milk is also good, they use real taro. They have a nice variety of fruit based fresh milks, fruit teas, matcha, black sesame, and ice blended drinks.

I wanted a milk tea because the ones I was making at my father's house were not cutting it. I…read moredecided to check out Mew Tea. I walked about 30 minutes and arrived too early as the store did not open until noon. I walked out to Geary Blvd. and there was a lot of construction as I explored the area. I returned with only 14 minutes left before opening. The lady opening the store was raising the blinds on the windows facing the street. She unlocked the door shortly after noon and directed me to the kiosk to order. I knew I wanted the peach oolong milk tea at 75% sweet with no ice. It had been quite windy on the walk. Because of a coconut allergy in the family I had to ask if the popular mango pomelo sago had any coconut. Unfortunately, it has coconut (milk or oil?). As soon as I heard coconut, it was a no go. I wasn't familiar with pomelo and the lady told me it was like grapefruit. I still wanted to order a mango drink and went instead with the mango smoothie also 75% sweet with less ice. The customer following me asked about alternative milks which they do have. I overheard that they have oat and almond milk. Both drinks were excellent. The milk tea was not too sweet and I appreciated the peach bits in the drink. The mango smoothie was really creamy.

My family and I stumbled on Mew Tea when we were looking for a boba shop after dinner.

The menu seemed pretty standard with classic milk and fruit teas with a few seasonal specialties. We placed our order at the kiosk and waited almost 15 minutes for our drinks despite being the only customers in the shop. I ordered the mango pomelo sago drink since it was one of the few caffeine-free drinks on the menu, and it was tasty! The mango + pomelo + milk was an unexpected combination, but the sweet + tangy + creamy flavors paired together surprisingly well. I also liked the textural elements from the sago and fresh pomelo and mango. My mom and brother also really liked their fruit teas, so we will most likely be back soon.

For this location, the shop is located inside the Kinokuniya Mall in Japantown in San Francisco. [Parking]: There are two parking garages - The Main Garage (1610 Geary Boulevard) and The Fillmore Annex Garage (1650 Fillmore Street). Parking rate = $5 per hour from 12 PM to 6 PM and $3 per hour outside of those hours. I got lucky and was able to find metered parking spots near the intersection of Buchanan St and Sutter St (free on Sunday). [Atmosphere]: Matcha Cafe Maiko is located on the first level of Kinokuniya Mall. This is mostly a takeout only spot with no indoor tables and limited chairs available. [Menu]: Most visitors come here for the matcha soft-serve ice cream. The shop also offers the Golden Sho-Gun 24K gold soft-serve ice cream. Other items include sundaes, parfaits, lattes, cream foam lattes, and teas. *** Soft Serve Ice Cream (Matcha, Cone - $6.95): Amazing ice cream - creamy and dense with a strong matcha flavor. *** This is a fantastic matcha ice cream shop - two big thumbs up. P.S. - If you are already at the shop, this is also a good opportunity to check out other shops in Kinokuniya Mall and the adjacent Japan Center Malls.
