    Red bean tofu with Boba Milk, tea.
    David F.

    Getting a Boba always a treat. Fast and quick is the best way to get it. Clean and tasty drinks! Ymmm

    Grab-and-go P1 Super Fruit Tea
    Sally Y.

    Teas are better than soft drinks and on Irving Street, I-Tea is the fruitiest! It's a tiny grab and go spot with big photos of fruity teas outside. If you tap your cell number into their pad on your first visit, you get a free upsize. Then you'll receive other promo perks. My daughter ordered the Super Fruit Tea with chunks of real fruit inside and claim it's her current favorite! Mind blowing list of selections to choose from, so ask the counter for help if they're not too busy!

Service: 3/5 - Standard service. Ambiance: 2/5 - A grab and go place with no ambiance. Portion to Price: 3/5 - In line with standard boba pricing.

    Fairly simple, quick boba. They've got a bunch of options and it's easy to customize toppings, sweetness and ice levels. The boba itself doesn't really match up to the other boba places in the area, as it's bland and the texture of the center of the boba is often hard and dense. The drinks themselves are nothing to write home about. I'd personally recommend their signature milk tea (B1) or their honey aloe green tea. However, as I said, they're expedient and affordable, if you don't care about quality. I do like that they've got a Foursquare sign-in for loyalty bonuses (9 drinks/check-ins nets you a free one).

    B6 Matcha Milk Tea (Matcha Pudding, substituted Red Bean for Boba)
    Anh T.

    On a warm day like today, this i-Tea location was the busiest I've ever seen it been. We waited for five minutes before ordering, and ten minutes before getting our order. The boba's space is very limited, and they use of their space to store supplies which are visible from the front. My friend got a tofuhua with boba milk tea, and i had matcha milk tea with matcha pudding and boba. This was the first time I have tried my specific drink, and both the pudding and boba were just the right texture and refreshing. My personal favorite from this boba place is the Panda Milk Tea, and I especially like their agar boba found in this milk tea. In a busy street with many Asian restaurants and dessert places, i-Tea stays a strong place to get some good boba!

    A9 Roasted Oolong: Boba, Grass Jelly, Panna Cotta ($8.46) - I drank some already, they replaced the panna cotta with coffee jelly
    Elena N.

    Date: Sunday, March 17th, 2024 What: Boba Delivery Time Ordered: around 8:30pm Time Delivered: around 9pm How: DoorDash DoubleDash Delivered To: Outer Richmond A9 Roasted Oolong Sugar 0%, Ice 30%, Boba, Grass Jelly, Panna Cotta $8.46 I ordered the above, but iTea called and said they were out of panna cotta, which was the only reason I decided to order from them. They offered to make my beverage bigger, but I didn't really want just more tea. So I asked if I could have another topping instead such as Coffee Jelly. They said it was cheaper than the panna cotta so I asked if I could have a bigger drink and the replacement topping. They said okay and that was that. The panna cotta was $0.98 while the coffee jelly was $0.65. When the drink arrived, I think I ended up with the normal size? Idk, correct me if I'm wrong from the pic. I don't actually order from iTea much, but they had roasted oolong which I wanted. The tea itself didn't have much roasted flavor. I wanted that strong malty tea flavor. The toppings were fine. The boba was soft and chewy. Grass jelly silky. Coffee jelly firm and bouncy. I probably should have asked them to cancel this order since I really just wanted to try the panna cotta. Oh well, now I know better when ordering from here. Okay teas. Just wish I was able to try that panna cotta.

    C-7 Taro milk tea. I subbed boba for egg pudding. It was delicious due to the fact I could taste the taro chunks. The device was decent. The cashier told us it would take 5 minutes to cook the boba. Ambiance was cluttered. No where to sit.

    C7 Taro Milk Tea

    A very solid boba place in Sunset. There's no room to wait or sit inside (most of the interior is taken up by boxes for stock/storage) so keep that in mind -- definitely just a place to order and leave. I got the Taro Milk Tea with boba and got 50% sugar and 50% ice. I loved the flavor and mashed taro inside instead of just flavoring. The boba texture was also pretty good and they gave a good boba-to-drink ratio. I would say the drink cup sizes are also good for the price -- larger than some other newer places, and I paid least than $7 for my regular-sized drink (though I miss the days when boba was less than $5). Overall, a solid drink and I would come again!

    Mango sago with boba
    Corinna W.

    We tried so many boba spots in this area and this is one of the better ones. We ordered the mango sago with boba and strawberry mango fruit tea with boba. They offer only 1 size. Both drinks were very good. I especially enjoyed my mango sago with boba. The boba had the perfect consistency -firm yet chewy. The only thing I didn't like was that they charge you 50 cents for using a credit card. So bring cash!

    D12 Strawberry Fruit Tea

    I always love to get their Honey Brown Rice MT. It comes with agar boba and chai seeds as topping! Sadly they ran out of agar boba so I replaced them with regular boba. But there are so much other options too!

You can choose from many ingredients and each bowl is assembled fresh to order. You order on an iPad which takes a minute to choose from all the possible ingredients, the size of the bowl or choose from a preset combination, pay and then wait for your bowl (or smoothie) to be assembled. My best advice is to order in advance because two people hustled with pick up orders, walk ins and online orders. I waited about 25 minutes after adding two custom bowls to the TGTG order that sent me in. Every surface of the small store was immaculate. I looked around and wondered how intense the set up each morning would be, dicing and slicing strawberries, kiwi, mango etc. Palmetto Superfoods is a complex operation and the bowls were (chef's kiss) delicious.

    This location used to be my favorite but it is going down hill…read more Our orders have been wrong several times (ingredients switched between bowls), they have the side room where you used to be able to sit entirely blocked off and no more benches in front due to construction. They are also often out of certain ingredients (today the coconut milk syrup, previously GF oatmeal, blueberries, etc). Today there was only one poor person working trying to keep up with a long string of orders. I have never seen the same person here twice, so I imagine there is a lot of turn over. The workers are always very nice but seem frazzled. There is no ambience, it's two chipped benches that used to be white, a do not enter sign and basically nowhere to sit and eat.

Sadly, a bunch of those spots have come and gone, but quite a few are still around. Or, in the case of Sweet Mango, replace one of those original dessert shops, but still offer up almost the exact same menu that their predecessor did! Now, regardless of whether or not they're owned by the same folks as the popular Creations Dessert House that used to call this place home, it doesn't change the fact that Sweet Mango is pretty solid in its own right. Inside, this place is relaxed and can easily accommodate larger groups, unlike other dessert spots out there. Similarly, the menu is pretty extensive as well, featuring a ton of HK desserts (sago, glutinous rice balls, bird's nest, etc.) including many mango centric ones, crepes, HK toast, drinks, snacks, instant noodles, sandwiches, and even rice and spaghetti plates that come with the likes of black pepper chicken steak, curry pork chop, and more. -- (#710) GLUTINOUS RICE BALL WITH CRUSHED PEANUTS One of my favorite things here, as it has been one of my go-to desserts here. The glutinous balls always have a nice chew to them and I really like how well the peanuts complement it, both in terms of taste and texture. -- (#25) GLUTINOUS RICE BALLS, MANGO JUICE, MANGO ICE CREAM, AND MIXED FRUITS Another one of my go-to desserts, especially when I want something cold and fresh. Understandably, the taste of fruits is a bit dependent on the season, but I love how the juice and ice cream reinforce the mango flavor in this. Plus, the glutinous balls have such a nice chew! -- (#52) POPCORN CHICKEN I hate that I gave in to my curiosity because this was not good. While it looked fine on the plate, everything about this missed the mark - the batter was chalky and dry and the chicken itself wasn't very juicy. Hard pass. -- (#101) BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN STEAK with Spaghetti Ehh...not terrible, but not that special either. While the portion size was fairly generous and the chicken itself had a nice crust on it, I didn't love the sauce, which was kind of thin and didn't really stick to the pasta. Although what I've had here, as a whole, has been a little uneven, it should be said there is also a theme to it. Based on what I've had, as well as what my friends have ordered, the desserts here (and HK snacks, to a degree) have generally been pretty good. As for their more savory dishes and fried snacks, they've been closer to just okay than anything special. Nothing wrong with that, though, especially given how this is more of a dessert cafe. Plus, true to their namesake, their mango desserts have always been pretty good! With there being fewer dessert cafes than there used to be, there obviously aren't as many options to choose from. However, even with that being the case, Sweet Mango is a pretty decent spot and it's not like their more savory offerings have been terrible (popcorn chicken aside). If nothing else, with the way this place doesn't get as busy as Kowloon or Naya, they're super convenient! THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down. CASH ONLY.
