This is my favorite boba place if you care about the base tea quality and flavor. They provide glass containers and you can purchase cheap reusable metal boba straws. I ended up using both at home as well! read more

Favorite neighborhood tea place. Drinks are made of real ingredients (taro etc). Popcorn chicken is also amazing. Always a pleasure to swing by. read more

Plentea - Popcorn Chicken Jasmine Green Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This spot was pretty decent but I was definitely not a fan of the sea salt crema. If you are going for saltiness go ahead and get that but I didn't know my drink came with it and it threw me off. The boba itself was tasty and had the right texture. The presentation was great and love that you get a glass container free of charge. I also appreciate that you can reuse that bottle to produce less waste. Quality store, just wish they had a description for the drink i ordered. Workers were kind and the store was clean and bright. Need to come back and try there sweet cream next time! read more

Plentea - Sea Salt Creama Oolong Plentea Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Milk tea was balanced in sweetness /taste. Boba was soft tasting. Overall nice place to get my boba fix.

I popped into Plentea on Wednesday afternoon after an appointment at UCSF Mission Bay. I quite enjoyed my mango tea! I wasn't a big fan of the fact that you order on a tablet (instead of with a human staff member), and it wasn't immediately clear to me that is how you order (I stood around for a couple minutes, waiting for someone to take my order, until I realized I was expected to enter it into a machine). Aside from that, I was pleased with my beverage! read more

I love Plentea! It's a cute atmosphere for a boba shop and they have the most pleasant and friendly employees. Boba: chewiness and sweetness have been consistent across all the times I've been here. So good! Drinks: my favorites are the oolong milk tea, almond milk tea, taro purple yam smoothie, and mango smoothie. The smoothies are quite pricey ($7.50), but they're perfect and worth it if you're looking to treat yourself that day. Food: I'd recommend their popcorn chicken, which again is pricey ($9.50?), but the quality is good & the portion is large enough for a standalone meal or a shareable snack. Also, their glass bottles they serve the drinks in are also so cute, and you can either bring them back for 10% off your order or collect 10 and return them for a free drink of any price. The only downside is that the service can sometimes be on the slower end, especially when you order food. read more

I saw this place a few time while going to the Warrior's game. It's on 3rd Street situated in the mid-block on the street level. During lunchtime, there was a good amount of foot traffic in the area. I decided to grab a bite and try their food. My daughter and I got the popcorn chicken, curry chicken rice, and a milk tea. The tea was nothing special but the bottle was a great novelty that my daughter liked. My daughter said the popcorn chicken was good. They do pack the amount to the rim for sure. I had the curry chicken rice which was the popcorn chicken in disguise. I wish it had more flavor, but decent. I really like these kiosk ordering machines. It makes it an easy process to order and pay. The food came out pretty fast, but that could be because it was slow. This would be a good choice before or after the Warrior games and the price is reasonable for the amount of food. read more

Cute shop inside! They have some tables where you can sit and do work. You order drinks and food on the kiosk (they only have 1, so I don't know how long the wait would be on a busy day), not sure if they take cash at all. The shop smelled very strongly of popcorn chicken and I was so tempted to try it. Matcha Latte with boba: 5/5 Got regular sweet and less ice. Very good balance of sweet and matcha/milky. The matcha was not overwhelming or extremely bitter, just the right amount, and tastes a bit like the Ayataka Cafe's Matcha Latte in Japan. The boba was so soft and chewy. It does get hard throughout the day but it was still quite soft. Jasmine Milk Tea with boba: 4/5 Just like the matcha one, it was a pretty good balance of sweetness and jasmine flavor. Tasted silky. The only thing is, I asked for no toppings and no ice, and they gave both anyway. I would get both these drinks again. It is pricey, so I do think the glass bottle is worth the price. Not sure if Plentea is still doing those discounts where you bring in a Plentea bottle. If so, I'll definitely come back more often. read more

This place gets all the stars from me because they a) are open past 6PM b) use reusable, glass containers c) give a discount for bringing back your clean containers d) don't have an overwhelming menu and e) serve quality drinks . It's usually a toss-up for me with boba places. Menus can be voluminous with generic, syrup-flavored drinks and they usually shutter as early as 5pm. Plentea is inconspicuously located on 3rd in the Uber building and right off the T-line Chase Center stop or the 15 Muni bus. I liked the simplicity of their menu--nothing too fancy or complicated, and the menu was pretty straight-forward. I've been happy with their House Black and Almond milk tea with 25% sweetness. The texture of the tea is smooth, and what I love most about them using glass bottles is that I can save the sea for later in my fridge. They also give a 10% discount if you bring back your clean container, so big ups for the win-win of the glass bottles. read more

Talk about cute!!! And the boba always taste fresh. I love that they give you a glass container to come back with and get a discount.

This is a good place to grab a quick bite before work or before the games/concerts. They always run out of what I want for some reason... read more

Pleasantly surprised to see a new Plentea location since I have not had their drinks since around high school @ their OG Chinatown location! Interior was nice, bright and clean. There are a couple of tables that offer you a working space, or a place to catch up chatting with your friends. Immediately upon entry, my friend and I were greeted and instructed how to order. There is a self-serve kiosk right when you walk in that you can order from, but if you are bringing back one of their reusable glass bottles, you need to be helped by an employee at the register in order to get the 10% discount. I had a hard time picking out what I should order because everything on the menu sounded so good! The employee helping me out was really nice and helpful - he told me about his favorite drinks, what other people enjoy and answered my questions. If you are new to Plentea, or boba in general, I would say that anything under their "Classic Milk Tea" or "Sea Salt Creama" menu is a great place to start! There was a larger party that entered after us that had a hard time with the menu, so I think it would also be helpful if there was a QR code for the menu, or physical menus that people can look over in line (or you can just check the menu photos under Yelp!). I opted for the Jasmine GMT - which is one of my favorites at other boba shops. It was light and refreshing, and you could definitely taste the quality. My friend who ordered tapioca balls in her drink said that it was the perfect consistency, with the right amount of chewiness and snap. Will definitely be back to try their other menu items! read more

the cream top jasmine green tea is my fave drink here. the cream is thick and sweet, and the jasmine tea is floral and yummy. the two mixed tastes sooo gud. highly recommend. read more

I love Plentea and I am so stoked that now they have a Mission Bay location. Came here tonight at about 8:30 pm together with my girlfriend; the store was empty and the two employees were enthusiastic to help us. I got my usual Jasmine Green milk tea with boba, which was as yummy as always. Highly recommend it! I loved how open and bright this location is, especially compared to the FiDi store. The large windows facing the street invite you in and infuse you into the cityscape. The plentiful of seating is great for hanging out with friends over your favorite drink. And they even sell cute East Asian tea sets that line the walls. My girlfriend and I eyed a set decorated with gorgeous 3D glass flowers. It's definitely something to explore while in the store. I look forward to returning here many more times Also, don't forget to bring those glass bottles back for 10% off your next drink! read more

Plentea was absolutely wonderful. The Thai Milk tea I had was wonderful. Perfect in everyday. Thank you so much. I have my own love of tea and plentea was really a great drink and great experience right down to the wonderful glass bottle!! I highly recommend checking out Plentea. You won't be disappointed.

Boba was great! The service was good, and was overall a very tasty treat! I would recommend their Nutella drink it was my personal favorite.

Clean spot, the popcorn chicken was really good. The matcha was average, the music was really bad and all over the place! It went from EDM to country then KPop then back to country. Made it hard to enjoy sitting inside with all the randomness and it was so loud. read more

People here are extremely rude. Horrible customer service. I got here at 9:45 pm their hours are until 10pm all I wanted to order was matcha and they literally turned off the light and tried to tell me they close at 9:45. I hope their manager reads this. read more

A boba spot that doesn't use syrups to flavor their drinks :0 They use real fruit to flavor the teas so it isn't overly sweet or flavored. You taste the tea and the sweetness that comes only from the fruit. I got the strawberry tea and loved it. You could taste the sweetness of a real berry and the pulp that comes with the tea is perfect. read more

What kind of boba shop doesn't serve popcorn chicken till after 5 ? This suck cause sometimes I want to grab some for lunch but can't. There drinks are not sweet at all even with 100% sweetness which is fine with me but not sure how everyone else feels about this read more

Didn't try the food the strawberry banana smoothie and the Matcha that we got were incredibly tasty with what. The smoothie was legitimately the best smoothie I've ever had. Also, the glass l bottle (milk bottle with a Snapple style cap) that they served it in, and that you got to keep, was a cool touch. And the music was bumpin. Had the whole line dancing. read more

Plentea - Takoyaki Popcorn chicken Taro MT Boba Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Boba tea is hit or miss depending on when you go. I always get the classic milk tea with boba. The first time I came in the morning it was great. The tea flavor was on the stronger side, boba was fresh, and it had the perfect amount of sweetness to it. The second time I went in the afternoon, and my drink was on the watery side, boba was a bit hard, and overall there wasn't a strong tea flavor to it. The popcorn chicken has a pretty good portion to it, but I was on the salty side. But this is definitely enough to snack on with a few people. Service is pretty quick. I got my drink and food about 5-10 minutes after ordering. The place is well lit, and a nice place to study or work on stuff. There is a bathroom there as well which is nice since the OG Plentea on Kearny doesn't have one. read more

This rating is for my usual drink here. I love my Matcha on the Rocks. No cream, no sugar. It's so hard to have matcha drinks without milk or without some type of creamer. Thank you for having it this way. I love matcha, not the cream and the sugar. I hope it doesn't taken off the menu. The servers are always nice and eager to help. read more

I love fruit teas and slushies. I love that most boba places have pineapple. The handful of times we've ordered from here, the fruit teas have been too sweet even when I asked for less sweet. It's not alright. I wish they would look at the order and make sure they make it the way you want. read more

I tried the red bean smoothie and the mango smoothie and they didn't really have any flavor to them. Very bland. Not sure if it's because the mango wasn't in season but the red bean was very light in flavored also. Maybe I will try the milk tea next time. You can bring back the glass bottle for 10% off next drink. read more

I usually don't do these types of things but here's what happened. I ordered on the kiosk first and after a whole group of about 15 people ordered after me. I had a really wonderful day and didn't mind waiting for my drink. 50 minutes pass by and the one making the drinks was about done with the big group order. I decide to ask her nicely if my order was going to be next but she couldn't find it at all. Keep in mind, you enter your number and name in the kiosk and it usually works but for some reason it didn't work for me this time. So I showed her my account that it was charge and it literally said "December 10, 2024" which is today. And yet she didn't accept it and was telling me to pay AGAIN. She said there's no proof I bought something when she literally saw me walk in and I always order from this place. I said no that's not fair because I KINDLY WAITED and even showed her it was CHARGED on my card stating "PLENTEA MISSION BAY" . Their service is very slow and they never have foods available at all either. I used to love this place but I don't feel like coming ever again. read more
