We ordered off a kiosk and got an egg puff with their oreo soft serve on the side. We waited about 10 minutes since they were making the egg puff fresh. The place is small and they have a bar with about 4 seats. The egg puff with the soft serve was yummy, would recommend that. The boba on the other hand wasn't my favorite. I got 50% sugar but my drink wasn't sweet at all. The boba was on the chewier side so overall my drink was not great. Would probably try a different boba spot since there are many on Taraval, but the dessert was still good.
Was in the neighborhood and wanted try a new boba shop, so we stopped by Milktopia. The shop is cute, and they have a giant kiosk for ordering. There was only one person working there, and a few customers inside when we arrived. We tried their soft serve and Jasmin boba tea. The softserve was a ok, but man their boba drink was really bad. Sorry, not my cup of tea It tasted synthetic, and the boba were hard and flavorless. Not sure why they got such high ratings. Definitely not worth the money I paid.
This place is so cute and the soft serve was so yummy! Texture was amazing (super thick and chewy), and the milkyness and sweetness level was perfect! Pairing it with an egg waffle was the move. Service was a bit slow though. Our egg waffle took a while (we wished the guy prepped that first THEN the soft serve), and we were the only ones there...And I wish it was crispier on the outside (hence the 4 stars). This is still a solid place to come though, and we'll probably be back to try more flavors!
I really enjoyed my time visiting Milktopia! I've always seen it but this was my first time going in. I was really hoping for a regular matcha but after talking to who I think the owner is, I decided on the strawberry crema. I went to another bubble tea shop close by and I won't name names, but they were not very nice. Walking into Milktopia & having the person working/or owner (not sure who it was) but she was a very very sweet lady and explained what the crema was to me. She was very kind and that is what I really appreciate and sold me on this place. Not only that but the drink was fantastic!!! So glad I listened to her. Can't wait to come back here and support this business more. I really wish I got her name as she was lovely!
We ordered the passion fruit lychee and the salty egg egg puff. They both tasted good. The tea is nothing special for the price. We looked forward to the salty egg egg puff. It does taste good and the salty egg flavor did not overwhelm but it wasn't cooked well. It was still soft when they took it out and couldn't even sit up straight inside the paper bag. Could have been better.
What did I just pay for?! I paid over $8 for a tiny shake and it was disgusting. I was already in shock when they handed me the small drink. For $7-8 (including a 4% surcharge and tip), you'd think you would get a large sized drink? That thing was tinier than ever! I would be able to justify paying that much for a drink if it at least tasted good. Super disappointed! Please learn to make better drinks at an appropriate size if you're going to be charging so much for them.
Located in the Parkside neighborhood, Milktopia is a small unassuming storefront; however, once you step inside you're greeted with a wide array of tea beverages, snacks and soft serve options - something for everyone! Inside Milktopia, ordering can be done either with one of their employees or at the kiosk. Seating isn't plentiful in the store, which makes sense given the size; however, there are four bar stool style seating available for those of you wanting to enjoy your selections. Otherwise, most patrons often take their goodies to-go and enjoy them while strolling around the area. I ordered their mango pomelo sago, the HK silky milk tea, and the salty egg puff. Mango pomelo sago is a personal go-to drink of mine, and I'm happy to share that the one crafted by Milktopia tastes just as good as any of my favorites. The HK silky milk tea was authentic, although I will note they use evaporated milk (as opposed to the usual condensed milk) so the drink is a little less sweet than it normally is, which could be a bonus to some. Their egg puffs are freshly made and take about 10 or so minutes to prepare. Their salty egg puff was a delicious mix of savory and sweet flavors, and they also have other unique egg puff flavors including oreo, boba, and meat floss (which I'll definitely be back to try in the future). If you're in the Parkside area and are looking for your next best boba stop, then I highly recommend giving Milktopia a try!
When you enter, there's a kiosk for ordering. The inside of the shop is quite small, but there are four high stools available for seating. There were two people in front of me when I arrived a little after 2pm on Saturday. After placing my order, I sat on one of the stools to wait for my drink. From the time I arrived to when I got my drink, it took about 30 minutes, which felt like a long wait. There were two staff members making drinks behind the counter, and a third person joined later. I ordered a Jasmine Green Milk Tea with 25% sweetness. The boba had a good texture but did lack a bit of flavor. Overall, the drink was decent. It was more on the lighter side than rich, so it wasn't the creamiest. The tea had a good fragrance.
I tried their Paradise Island Fruit Tea and Mango Pomelo Sago drink. The paradise drink was pretty good & refreshing, it had a nice tea flavor. I added boba to this drink and their boba was slightly hard in the middle. Also, the drink didn't have enough boba for it be an extra 80 cents charge. On the other hand, their Mango Pomelo Sago drink was delicious! It was like a mango slushie. This drink included crystal boba and sago. Their crystal boba had a better texture than their regular boba.
I love coming here for their egg puffs. They also have a variety of drinks to choose from. Hong Kong style menu. I asked the owner and he's from Hong Kong so it makes it even better. Their honey soft serve was pretty good too. I'll come back to try their spamasubis and other egg puffs. I really recommend their original egg puff.
A friend of mine recommended the HK Silky Milk Tea here, so I gave it a try while in the area. The drink was very rich and creamy! The perfect balance for my palate. A classic strong black tea flavor that I adore. The caffeine was also pretty hefty too. Kept me awake for a good while. KEEP IN MIND: Taraval doesn't have any parking really. So definitely aim to park in a nearby neighboorhood. There's also no seating inside. Takeout only!
After dining at the nearby Happy Family Chinese restaurant for lunch, we were looking for dessert. Milktopia was such a great find! It's a little different from most boba restaurants in that they offer soft serve. The vanilla ice cream soft serve with boba was good. The boba had an excellent texture. Cooked all the way through, soft, bouncy, good size-not too small, and nicely chewy. I've never seen a boba filled puff waffle before and had to have it. I haven't ordered a puff waffle in a while. Milktopia's waffle was unexpectedly nice and chewy, not dry like other puff waffles I've tried previously. The boba was great. The boba are unevenly spread out of course, so it becomes a fun surprise when you get a puff filled with a lot of them. The waffle and the ice cream went well together. The employee was nice. He had about ten drinks to make after us, so the wait will vary. If you pay with a credit card then there's an extra fee, so I paid with cash. There's some metered street parking and some neighborhood spots, but it's one of the neighborhoods where a lot of spots are too small except for fiats fyi. I didn't try any of the milk tea, drinks, or spam musubi, but for the boba waffle alone it is worth the visit.
Needed a caffeine fix and kiddo wanted to try this place. Quite a long list of items to choose from, and glad they noted their best sellers. So, we decided on the Oolong Crema and Yin Yang Oolong. The crema comes with Oolong tea jelly and I added it to the Yin Yang drinks as well. For me, 25% sweetness was perfect - just enough sweetness. I really like grass jelly and never tried Oolong tea jelly, which I liked. Enjoyed the Yin Yang Oolong. Kiddo seemed to like the Oolong crema. Prices comparable to most other tea places. The egg puffs looked interesting, but when did they become so pricey?!?

Best ice cream and Boba shop to die for! The tea flavors are very strong and they complement their fruit taste! I enjoyed it for a quick stop! I would recommend the Oreo Brulee and paradise Island fruit tea! read more

I tried the strawberry soft serve and I didn't really enjoy it. The soft serve doesn't have any vanilla flavor and is not very creamy either. The strawberry syrup is WAY too sweet and the peanuts do not go well with the soft serve. They also have a different price if you pay with cash vs if you pay with card. Its more expensive to pay with card than to pay with cash. And ive never seen this at any other boba shop. The worker was friendly, but I did not enjoy the soft serve. I will not be returning. read more

This is a new hidden gem in the neighborhood! 10 out of 10! I am pleasantly impressed by how flavorful their Oolong Tea Jelly is. That is a rare find in the bay area. I've been to this place a few times already since their grand opening and never have I been disappointed. The HK Silky Classic milk tea is on point and indeed very silky. I highly recommend ordering it along with Oolong Tea Jelly and boba as toppings. Their Egg puff is done right, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Their mango ice cream is very creamy, much better than McDonald's ice cream, and the mango is fresh and tasty. Service was great and attentive. I would definitely go back often to try out the rest of the menu but HK silky classic milk tea will always be my most fave! read more

Review just for the drinks -- Right off the bat I thought the menu was very limited as it only had 8 drinks to choose from. I personally got the Oreo Brûlée Milk Tea. I thought it pretty basic and was not that great for the price of $7.34 (there was a added % fee because I used a card to pay for the drink). Regardless the drink was +$7.00 if I did not use the card. The drink was very basic, it lacked the amount of brûlée that other places give. The milk tea itself was pretty basic and had nothing special to offer. To be fair on the pricing it did come with boba. But the boba was not that great. Overall, I thought the drink selection was little (-.5), the prices were a bit too expensive (-.5), I thought the boba was not that good as it lacked flavor and soft chewiness (-.5), and the overall drink mediocre(.5) giving it a total of 3 stars. read more

Small, hole-in-the-wall spot that quietly opened in the former Supercue space. I like that the menu is limited, so I'm assuming (and hoping) they're focused on making their drinks quality. Ordered the mango-lemon burst and felt this drink refreshing. Not too sweet, and contains fresh mango pieces, which, based on the boba shops I've been, doesn't happen often. One important note: like paying for gas, if you pay with cash, price is slightly cheaper than paying with debit/credit card. While waiting for my order, I was curious about the different egg puff flavors and noticed prices weren't listed. I inquired of the prices, and the lady owner's husband, who happened to stand next to me, told me the prices. It wasn't listed yet, because the shop is still being updated. I also asked about the savory flavors, specifically the "meat floss" one, and he shared that meat floss egg puff are popular in Taiwan. Now that my interest is peaked, I'll have to make a return trip, this time paying with cash read more
I got the Oreo milk tea and not much to say. It had a generous amount of Oreos but the milk tea was lacking in tea flavor. My boyfriend got the mango lemon green tea and the drink had lemon seeds in it. That's such an unpleasant experience to drink something and then get a lemon seed in your mouth. He thought the drink was sour and refreshing but I didn't try it since the seeds in the drink grossed me out. Maybe I'll come back to try another drink but I would rather go to Irving to get boba instead. read more

Review is only for the HK Silky Classic Milk Tea. Good flavor in the tea but not amazing. Boba was decent with a nice chew to it (not soggy). A bit steep of a price point ($6.50 with boba before tax and tip), but understandable for the times. Definitely convenient location tho read more

Tried this new place located where Super Cue was & just opened on Sunday. Love the mango lemon burst green tea with oolong tea jelly. The tea is refreshing and really have the tea flavor. (I personally like regular sweetness drinks and sometimes in other boba stores, you only get the sweetness without tea flavor). I also get good portion of fresh & sweet mango in the drink . I rarely find oolong tea jelly as topping. The owners said they make their own tea jelly. My husband & I both love their oolong tea jelly topping. I'll try the green tea jelly next time. Husband likes his oolong creama too. We also ordered the egg puff waffle. I like it pretty chewy and not that sweet. If the waffle is a little more crispy would be even better. I think the owners are pretty smart to make a limited menu in soft opening. It's better to do less things good than to be too ambitious. I will come back again and hopefully they can be consistent in the quality. read more

I recently discover a milk tea/ snack store in my neighborhood. They have milk tea, soft ice cream, egg puff waffle and musubi. The egg puff waffle was a delightful surprise. Crispy on the outside, yet fluffy on the inside, it was the perfect companion to my milk tea. they have so many selection for the milk tea. and they offer a wide range of flavors and customizable options to suit my taste. read more

Today, I decided to give them a $5 tip because I had previously enjoyed their 2 drinks that I ordered from here. However, today just did not taste the same as the first time I ordered this drink. It's watered down and chalky. The overall taste of the drink is like a protein shake but not a good one. I'm disappointed that my total cost of my drink was $12.95 - it was not worth giving them such a large tip. In conclusion, I will not be coming back for their beverages. It tastes just like the previous boba shop that had been replaced by Milktopia, the only thing that has changed is the drinks are very expensive. read more

I was hoping for a new boba spot to open up where the old Super Cue was, and now it is here! Was very excited to try it out. We got the HK milk tea and yin-yang oolong caffe, and they were both amazing. The yin-yang had a nice balance of milk tea and coffee,and the boba was a good consistency. The HK milk tea had an interesting tea taste that I personally enjoyed since I like strong tea flavors, but my boyfriend tasted it and found it a bit strange. The inside is small and cozy,and the lady behind the counter was very friendly. Just hope they will expand their menu though, as there's not many options at the moment. read more

I got the lemon tea, and my husband's got the lychee yogurt. To tell the truth, lemon tea is really good. It's just that it's a bit far from home, so I don't get to drink authentic lemon tea often . My husbands lychee drink was good too, not too sweet. The egg puffs tasted better than the ones from Eggettes read more

I got the Yin-Yang Oolong Cafe and it was on point. I was feeling a little tired and also wanted a sweet drink. The drink is perfectly balanced with flavors from the oolong and coffee. Very tasty drink and would recommend if you're a coffee person or just want a sweet beverage with caffeine with coffee flavor kicking in. Definitely will revisit to try out their other drinks and soft-serves. read more
