Quality boba drinks. Always hit the spot. Collect the containers, and get rewarded. Staff was nice and efficient.

Plentea - my favorite from Plentea.
Sacha O.

The Plentea is my favorite Grub Hub milk tea spot. I've ordered the Plentea special from them on numerous occasions, and it has always been consistently great! Our order from Plentea My friend/coworker loved her Jasmine Milk tea with Lychee jelly so much she wanted to pose with it. We also have ordered the red bean smoothie and this has been consistently great as well! Will definitely continue to order!

I had a wonderful experience at Plentea in downtown! I ordered two iced milks, and both were absolutely delicious--perfectly balanced, creamy, and refreshing. The atmosphere is cozy. We will be back!

Plentea used to have a soft spot in my heart because they're eco friendly with the glass bottles AND you get 10% off when you use reuse them here. We always get the grape fruit tea with salted cheese crema. The recipe/ingredient have changed a few times. It used to have these purple grape pulp that added good texture and flavor. What happened to y'all? :(

Plentea, Thai Milk Tea

Cute, clean, modern boba shop with fun drinks! I enjoyed getting the Plentea. It looks like a little plant because they put Oreo crumble and a little mint on top! There's a wall of counter seating and some tables, but it's all near the open front door, so dress warm if it's a colder day. Service is nice and attentive! When you order, you can choose between a plastic cup or a glass bottle, no extra charge. If you choose the glass bottle, bring it back the next time you go and you'll get 10% off if you use it for your drink.

I haven't been up this way since Covid and I was happy to see that Plentea is still around. They have one of the most refreshing milk tea and I just love the grass jelly that comes with it. The prices are very reasonable and I like the reusable bottle. They offer musubis now and those are always a tasty treat. Casual. Fast service. Dairy and non-dairy options. Please come and create your own adventure.

We came here for a late night boba run and was happy to find that they're open until 11 PM, which is quite rare in SF since most spots close early. We ordered the roasted oolong milk tea & jasmine green milk tea with boba. The jasmine milk tea was good, can taste the tea, just the right level of sweetness & the boba was still chewy, even that late at night. The roasted oolong, while it looked well brewed, tasted a bit watered down to me & didn't really have that tea forward flavor I prefer in milk teas. One thing I really appreciate is that they serve the drinks in glass bottles, great to reuse & reduce plastic waste.

Taro milk
alexandra k.

I had Plentea 7-8 years ago and remembered how amazing the taro milk drink (we made sure to go back a few days later before we left the city) was so paid them a visit when I was back in SF. It unfortunately didn't live up to my memory's expectations. I remembered large chunks of real taro and a strong taro flavor to the drink. This time around, the taro flavor wasn't as prominent and less taro. Overall the drink was fine, but it wouldn't drive me to come back for it again.

Sea Salt Creama Oolong
Serena M.

Order: Sea salt crema oolong tea with aloe (tea had no sweetness and the foam was really well done and nicely balanced) Love that you can take the glass bottles home. They're probably a bit smaller than the cups at other boba places, but a perfect serving size to me. There was no one else inside, so the service was quick and the tables were clean and empty. I'll definitely come back and try another drink that has more sweetness to it.

Plentea, Strawberry Tea
Anthony N.

This place is small, but feels comforting to sit down and relax. My favorite drink is their plentea. The black milk tea is strong but is not bitter and i really enjoy the sweet cream and milk they use. It tastes so good to me and my friend got their sweet cream strawberry tea and she said that it tasted similar to the korean strawberry yogurt.

Milk tea and thai tea
Teena N.

The takoyaki here is so good :) My favorite drinks are jasmine milk tea. The shop is small but there is seating available to hang out. When I wait for my drink and food, I like to charge my AirPods since I commute. Next door is also an Onigiri place so bonus !

Taro Milk Tea
James W.

Hands-down, one of the best places to get milk tea in San Frnacisco, especailly for their sustainability. All their teas come in reusable glass bottles that you can keep and compared to other ilk tea places, the prices are about the same if not sometimes cheaper. You can order at the small tablet/kiosk or with one of the workers. There is also a lovely dining space upstairs and a few chairs downstairs. Only downside is that they use plastic straws.

Strawberry banana,  mango, and pineapple smoothies.
Super F.

Food is good. Service was nice.. ambience with Kitchen customer. Come try him. It looks good.

One of my favorite boba spots! I've been loyal to Urban Tea Ritual since 2019 and back when they…read morehad their first location in SF. I fell in love with their creative, artisanal drinks right away. The store itself was clean and welcoming. My favorites are the Crème Brûlée Milk Tea and Matcha Toffee. They're both signature drinks and the matcha and toffee balance each other so well. The toffee does get stuck in your teeth, but it adds a nice crunch to your drink. I recommend getting their drinks in either oat or macadamia milk! Their honey boba was fresh with the perfect texture. I don't recommend driving here unless you're okay with parking a few blocks away. I prefer this location over San Jose because their drinks are more consistent. Nowadays, you can order through the self-serve kiosk. Their seasonal drinks are definitely worth trying! There was a Pandan Strawberry Corn milk drink that was pretty refreshing :)

I know this was a highly rated boba place and my sister even spoke good things of it, and I had…read morehigh hopes for it... but in the end it fell short. The line was long, waited about 10 minutes for the ordering system, because it's by machine now. Then waited another 15 minutes for the drinks. There were a bunch of teeny boppers in front of me ordering drinks (6-8ish), so it took a bit. I ordered a house milk tea with 25% sugar. Honestly it just tasted like ash. No creamy tasting like other boba places. Not sure what their house cream was but it wasn't creamy or rich in flavor. Big disappointment. My husband got the crème brulee milk tea and that tasted even worst. It just tasted like bitter burnt pudding. Some sweetness once you get pass the pudding. Not sure who made the drinks but it was not good. The boba however was nice and soft. Not sure if it's the day or the rush of hella orders, but I normally judge a boba place by their basic milk tea and that day it was not good. And maybe that's not what to order? Not sure. But willing to try again on another time.

The lights outside really set for such a cute twilight mood and though that wasn't the main point of their shop, it was a cute detail. You order off an ipad and wait for your order, pretty typical of most shops nowadays. I remember there being a short line as well, so it seems they are a busy boba shop! The drinks themselves were delicious based on what I remember, I recall their boba being perfectly chewy and not soggy despite getting there so close to closing. The drinks were not heavily packed with sugar, just the perfect amount of tea, milk and sweetness. I'm not really in the area that often, but it's a boba shop that I'll remember forever!

Ordering is through the kiosk off to the side, so not much service. There was one employee working who just kept giving us mean glares for an unknown reason. It is a small shop, so there is not much room to hang out inside either. I ordered their Jasmine Milk Green Tea with boba. The taste of the drink tastes very off-putting - it definitely does not taste like a jasmine green milk tea, but like a burnt tea with milk just added to it. My friends who are not that picky with boba tried it too and did not like it at all. We only took a few sips before tossing it.

Ambiance: Matcha Cafe Maiko is one of a few tea shops…read morespecializing in Matcha flavored drinks and desserts in Japantown. There is no seating located in this particular cafe but plenty of outdoor seating directly outside. The general area can be pretty crowded due to the other store fronts within the mall so if you want a more relaxed matcha tea shop to do work or relax it would be better to order and then leave. Service: They have both a kiosk and a barista taking orders. Staff were friendly and working efficiently and quickly to fill the orders as they were being placed. Wait time: Generally depends on when you go since Japantown mall is a heavily toured area by locals and visitors to the Bay Area but I'd say roughly 10-15 minutes max from standing in line to receiving your drink. Food: The matcha ice cream has a deep matcha flavor with a nice concentration of powder which can be tasted in the soft serve. They also top the soft serve with a light dusting of matcha powder to further enhance the flavors. The cone was soft and light with a gentle sweetness that pairs really well against with the earthiness of the matcha.

Everything from Matcha Cafe Maiko is special. Ironically,…read morefor some mysterious reason, I don't actually like matcha, which feels like a personal failing every time I walk in. Luckily, their other tea offerings are just as good, so I never feel left out. The black sesame latte is a longtime favorite, but today I went with the hojicha frappe and it was excellent. It's not as creamy as, say, a Frappuccino, and the ice crystals are a little larger, but honestly that works in its favor because the roasted hojicha flavor comes through so much more clearly. Deep, toasty, and not overly sweet. Their sundaes are also ridiculously fun, loaded with all kinds of bouncy, chewy little goodies that make your dessert an activity rather than just a course.
