Another chain with a GREAT location in the city. However, I do want to call out that this location rarely ever has a line and customer service is on point!!!! They are located right in the Metreon in the same building as the movie theaters and the other restaurants. one extra star for the superb service and their willingness to always goes above and beyond! read more

This is my favorite bubble tea place! I Would choose sharetea over boba guys. Their milk tea is the only thing I order there so I am not sure about other stuff. Jasmine milk tea and green tea milk tea is my favorite! It's very milky and 50% sweetness is perfect for me. read more

I'm happy to finally see more boba places opening up in the union square downtown area. I've been to Sharetea in San Mateo, SF on Geary, and in San Jose. Sharetea is definitely one of the decent places to get your boba fix at. Like many other reviews said, the service at this location inside the Metreon is slow. It took about 15 minutes for my order. I came on a Saturday afternoon right before watching a movie and ordered the happy family QQ milk tea which includes boba, grass jelly, pudding, litchi jelly, and red bean. When I ordered, the cashier said they are running out of pudding. But when I got my drink, it was missing pudding and the barista said they ran out. Wish they asked if I could have substituted it for another topping. Overall, the milk tea tasted pretty good just like the other Sharetea locations. Hopefully next time their service will be faster. read more

Boba, boba everywhere! If there's a town or a city where I want to hit all of the bubble tea shops, it's in San Francisco. It will be difficult because there will be a new one popping up every month. So I've decided to not do doubles of a chain unless I have to. 1 Sharetea, 1 Quickly, and so forth. Located in the Metreon food court, there's ShareTea. Decorated with bright white walls and clear, clean pastels, it's a nice sight to behold when in need of refreshments. Nice service here. Nothing to complain about but nothing to say this was the best and worth noting. Go to order: Jasmine Green Milk Tea with large tapioca with regular ice and 30 percent sweetness. $4ish coastwise. A little too sweet than asked for, more ICE than expected for a regular share, and the boba was a bit chewy. But it served it's purpose and gave me a nice little jump to continue my SF Comic Con day. 4/5 read more

Sharetea - Green milk tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

They changed their prices without updating it on their menu. My drink should be about $5, but it came out to be almost $8?!?! Isn't that over-priced!? The cost is too much to ask for this kind of quality of tea. I didn't want to walk over to Plentea or Boba Guys for quality tea and creama. Black Sugar waiting time is still undergoing inprovement. ShareTea seems like an option for me because it's the closest and I was on a time crunch. On the menu (before taxes): Classic Milk Tea (no boba) $4.75 Creama $0.50 =$5.25 On my receipt (before taxes): Classic Milk Tea (no boba) $6.25 Creama $1.50 = $7.75??!!! C'mon Sharetea, UPDATE YOUR PRICES! read more

Sharetea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

The flavors and boba at Sharetea are pretty average but consistent. Prices are also a dollar or two lower than other boba shops. I particularly like the taro drinks (e.g., taro fresh milk, taro with red bean) which other chains don't have. This location located in the Metreon is quite popular, so order ahead if you can. read more

For being the only Boba place in the area it is going to be the default place if people want to go to get some Boba. I would have given it 4 stars but here I go. -1 because I don't like how they expedite orders. Just feels inefficient somehow there's always a big back up. Can we please have the number show up or something somewhere. I like how Melt does it where it shows that it's being made already. read more

One of my favorite boba shop! So it's nice to know that the drinks made here and from back home still tastes exactly the same, which is a good sign. My regular to go boba drink is Honey Green Milk Tea with boba. It tasted exactly how it should and it's good to know that because most places can't do the same thing even though it's from the same place, just different locations. This boba shop is located inside the dining plaza! It's smaller than the ones I've been to. read more

My favorite Sharetea drink is the oolong milk tea! I typically order a green milk tea but the oolong is definitely better here. The boba at this location isn't the best - it's on the hard side often. The cheapest drink here is $4.50 I believe. Service is pretty quick. read more

Sharetea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place is in the first floor across from AMC ticketing. Full drink menu, with additional seasonal drinks. The line can get a bit long during prime time and weekends. Overall quality is what you expect from Sharetea chain, and usually pretty consistent. My favorites include Winter melon tea, grapefruit green tea, and purple yam ice blended--- there really is something for everyone! You can also vary the sugar level and ice level on most drinks.. Also, they have fivestars loyalty program, so sign up if you'll keep coming back. Overall, I'm on the fence between 3.5 or 4 stars, but will up it to 4 just because of selection, consistency, and convenience.. btw, It's pretty chill just grabbing a bubble tea then heading to target to shop. read more

Ordered through Grubhub twice now. I always get the mango green tea creama and it hasn't disappointed. We also ordered a second drink and it was different each time but both times it was good even though it was supposed to be the same drink both times. Overall it was a good experience as there is barely anyone in the Metreon right now during Covid times. The only other place that looks to be open is the poki place. Will definitely come back if in the area as the mango green tea creama is one of my favorites and I don't know who else makes it. read more

I came here a couple days ago and finally decided to drop in a review. I found out about this place very recently - I'd guess that they're new in the Metreon location. I tried a couple of their milk teas. The classic milk tea, Okinawa, Hokkaido, and honey. My experience so far was great. I could taste the tea base flavor and the boba was like any other; just right. I have to admit that this is one of the best milk tea locations I've been to so far. I mean, the Yerba Buena Gardens is right outside. You can enjoy the nice setting while drinking milk tea! Or, you can enjoy them while watching a movie at the AMC theater (shhh). I would definitely come back to try the other flavors whenever I stop by San Francisco! read more

Sharetea is garbage. I would prefer quickly over them. If you're a more *advanced* boba/tea drinker you would know. This caters to more bland tastebuds. I personally believe their entire chain is a waste of calories. Check out teaspoon instead, will not disappoint. read more

Very unprofessional customer service Asked me what I ordered after seeing me order and was hesitant to give me my order My drinks that I ordered were not made properly I expected better service, Sharetea employees are very rude! The drinks were also very water downed & not good at all. They were also not cold or prepared correctly!!! read more

They cheat! Not honest, after I ate the fried noodles , rush to restrooms a few times, very unusual for me

Sharetea - I am a half cup full type of person but it will eventually be half cup empty after a few sips. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

My sister in law introduced us to this place since we were visiting. There was a line to order drinks, but it didn't take too long perhaps 15 min or so? It gave us enough time to decide what we wanted to drink. I ordered the Mango Green Tea with crema. My husband stuck a straw in and was confused on why they handed him a plastic knife. I couldn't figure it out at that moment therefore I naturally just tossed it. Halfway through sipping the refreshing and tasty tea, I realized that I wasn't getting any of the crema. Then my light bulb came on. You don't sip this baby with a stinking STRAW! You cut slits into and drink it through the slits. After I made my own holes with the straw on the side and sipped it through there, my taste buds were having a party. The crema is salty and sweet and mixed with the tea was just utter heaven! I'm just glad I figured out the whole thing before I finished. My husband ordered the QQ Happy Family milk tea. It was yummy and there were so many things in it, it was hard to tell what all was in it. But it was enjoyable chewing everything. It definitely is a happy family in that cup of tea. Will definitely come back when we're in the Bay area. read more

Sharetea - Qq happy family and mango green tea crema - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Bubbles tea is on the expensive side ($5 for milk tea and $6.75 for ice slush, and an extra $0.50 for any toppings), but the drink itself is well-made. I got a red bean matcha milk tea which was matcha flavored tea with real red beans at the bottom. It was quite tasty although a bit in the sweet side. If you check in on Yelp, you get an egg pudding topping for free. The location is inside a giant center with a lot of other restaurants/little stores, and there is no sitting. Definitely a grab-and-go type of place. read more

I did a pick up for my son's graduation last Friday. I'm glad they were prompt and the drinks were ready. I'm also happy they're open. So happy to have bubble tea to celebrate a special occasion. I wonder if they can deliver bigger orders, put in a question on their catering website two days ago and just waiting. But glad for the takeout last Friday. Update: Thanks so much for the reply. I've been wanting to send bubble tea to my son's teachers to thank them for their essential work. I called and was contacted by Kit and she set it up for 45 teas: taro, mango and Hokkaido milk tea. Everything was prompt and easy. The delivery came early which was a bonus and we had some grateful teachers out there. So glad that they cater. read more

Sharetea - Tea for the staff. Most were already distributed. Lol! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Sharetea is tucked in the food court of the Metreon movie area. A good refreshing tea hub. I like the variety and they make the boba and grass jelly well. Hokkaido milk tea for the win! Time to ShareTea! read more

Mall kiosk boba is not good. They rarely get good chains in those stands, and the rush is uncontrollable. Sharetea is a nip above the rest, but still easy to shrug off. Simply put: the boba is mushy, the tea flavor could be stronger, and it's not impressive. At 80% sweetness (my preference), it's still way too sweet to snack on due to the abundance of honey tossed with the boba. My oolong milk tea was a tad watery. They have all the traditional drinks and toppings, including jellies, egg pudding, and popping boba. It's easy to satisfy a kid here, given how sweet their drinks are and the colorful variety in flavors. Just be patient and let the organized intake line flow. Sharetea's outgoing line is more of a mob than anything line-like. They put out drinks in batches, so the mob waiting disperses in waves. It'd probably be better if they had it all flowing out in a stream, to avoid congestion. There's limited seating available directly next to Sharetea. You can connect to Metreon wifi...or you can enjoy a beautiful day out on the greenery instead. You know, when Karl the Fog doesn't roll in. read more

One thing I will say about boba in the city is that prices are always slightly higher but honestly the boba is still good and convenient since it's in the Metreon and they have curbside pickup! My personal recommendation is the Classic Pearl Milk Tea or the Mango Green Tea Creama as both drinks are really satisfying! read more

My go-to boba spot when I'm at the Metreon. Milk tea is decent and service is nice. Recommend read more

Sharetea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is the closest boba shop to my office and so is really easy to stop into and grab a quick drink somewhere in the middle of my work day. As a very traditional boba shop, they have like a million options here to choose from and so it's easy to get lost when you first walk in here. The large drink pictures on the wall help though. Personally I don't usually like the milk teas because they mislead you into thinking that you'll get actual milk. But that's pretty normal at most boba shops. Just switch to Fresh milk series instead if you have a problem. But most people won't know that. What really stood out for me here were the Creama drinks since they had a much richer flavor. I'm basically addicted to the green tea with creama and oolong tea with Creama. One complaint I have is that they only iffer a single large size. I would definitely come more often if they offered a smaller size. read more

Sharetea - Green tea with Creama - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is the place that hooked me on boba. It's close to my work, so I go there at least once a week for an afternoon tea. My favorite is the fruit tea with boba, no added sweetness. I love it that they offer a lot of options for customizing. Would have been great if they had an option of substituting milk with soy milk, as I can't have dairy -- and it makes the selection a bit limited for me. Consistent quality. Always busy. read more

I love bubble tea. So everytime I travel, I always YELP for bubble tea. I rated 5/5 because of the tea concentration. You can have the original one or fresh milk one. The original is mixed with half/half. It's more creamy than milk but I prefer milk! You can pick choices of topping in the drink. Go for boba for the first time! read more

Sharetea - Fresh black milk tea. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

What I love about Sharetea is that you can expect consistency. Not a lot of chains like this anymore! This particular one is inside of the Metreon mall and therefore you're not feeling extra cramped! The line was really short when I went and while it took a long time to get my drink, it was super delicious and I liked how I actually had somewhere to sit without feeling claustrophobic like I do in the other stores. If you're looking for this one, it's in the Metreon mall right by the movie theater. read more

Sharetea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Oh Sharetea, my love for you is slowly diminishing. When they first opened, I was so happy. The location was an ideal walking distance from the office. You would order, wait maybe 5 minutes and walk back satisfied with your purchase. Before them, I did not even know what a winter melon was. Oh what a wonderful discovery. These days ordering anything here takes some serious dedication. You have to really want it. Today I had to wait 5 minutes to order and then 20 minutes, yes indeed twen-ty minutes on my drink. During these twenty minutes, I started to calculate the satisfaction after boba to the annoyance while waiting ratio and realized it was not worth it. Meanwhile, the crowd around me started growing and started to resemble an angry mob. The amount of sighing and mumbling around me brought back memories of the DMV. The staff was continuously apologizing while the customers were constantly complaining at the counter. I think I got out just in time to avoid a riot. I hope they get this sorted out because their drinks are good and the staff is friendly. Fingers crossed. read more

Got the wintermelon tea and homemade taro milk. The wintermelon tea was good, however I think I prefer the wintermelon crema. Without the crema it's a bit simple, but with it makes the whole drink have much more variety. When you need something sweet, drink the tea, when you want more savory, go for the crema part. The taro milk has taro chunks which are nice. It's a bit colder than I wish it was, I think they make this a pretty cold drink. Be careful about lines here, if you have to wait 15 minutes in line, it'll take another 20 minutes for them to make it for you. I'd just order it online tbh read more

I've been to Sharetea a few times. It's all about location location location. They are inside the Metreon so it's super convenient which explains their markup in prices. It's not cheap but they do take credit cards which is always convenient and a way to score some points on my rewards card. There's usually a line here during peak hours. Try to avoid it if you can. They are pretty quick at pumping out those orders though (look at the display on the counter to see how far away your drink is). I had the taro with 50% sweet and it was already pretty sweet to begin with. The tapioca pearls were cooked just right and had a good consistency. read more

Sharetea is not a place I seek out but it's a place that I don't mind going to either. There is one in Westfield shopping center at Powell and I just "found" this location while I was at the Metreon after a jog. Service was friendly, the prices here seem to be a little bit higher than the other locations but that is to be expected given the rent.

I usually come to this Sharetea when I'm craving boba and happen to be near Union Square because it's convenient and fast. Even when the line gets long on Saturday afternoons, I don't usually need to wait more than 10 minutes to get my drink. The drinks are average but will satisfy your boba fix. I stick to the classic black milk tea or the Okinawa milk tea (roasted brown sugar). The boba and other toppings are good for the most part though I recently tried their mini pearls and they came out all mushy and stuck together at the bottom of my drink. I'm also not sure how honest they are about reducing sweetness levels. I've ordered the Okinawa milk tea at 30% sweetness here, but when I've tried to order the same thing at other Sharetea locations, they've told me that it's not possible to reduce the sweetness because the flavoring and sugar are combined already. It sounds like this is only the case for certain flavors. read more

A 2 star review is fairly generous for a boba delivery that came without a straw... I don't carry extra large straws at home and it's really not the same with a spoon.

Sharetea - Boba delivery doesn't work so well if it doesn't come with a boba straw. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I come here nearly every week because it is conveniently located and pretty much the only non-bougie tea place in Soma/Fidi (it's fast and casual). Plenty of sitting areas within the Metreon since it's a food court. The tea is not freshly brewed but they do have a decent range of teas, milk teas, fruit drinks, and toppings which means you can try a ton of different combinations (personally not a fan of their milk teas because there is way too much milk). I'm thankful that their boba is a good level of sweet and has a good chewiness to it and that their grass jelly is also a good texture. Love the mango pudding and red bean as well. If you do plan on getting toppings, lower that sugar level because the toppings are sweet enough! I haven't tried many of their fruity drinks but of the ones I did try (mango green tea and passionfruit), I didn't enjoy them very much. Tasted like watered-down syrup. But then again, I mostly get the drinks for the toppings anyway. Business model-wise sharetea knows how to bring in customers with their promos and deals and cute bottles/colors etc. They don't have snacks at this location because they already get enough $$ and it there's no room for a kitchen. So #respect. read more

My go to is the taro milk tea for $6. Good bubbles, convenient location - I always opt for Share Tea when I'm going to the Metreon for a movie. read more

I really did have high hopes for this place. For $6 for one boba, you would expect to really get your money worths. I have ordered the Hokkaido Milk Tea before at this location and genuinely liked it so I decided to order it again. Doordashed it to my work place in San Francisco... It tasted so watered down, I had to throw it out. Warning - do not get this drink. Friend of mine ordered the mango fruit tea with lychee jelly and that tasted much better than what I ordered. Stick to the fruit teas and you can't go wrong. The milk teas don't seem to be that good. read more

Do NOT tell me the nutritional info of boba milk tea. Don't do it! I prefer to stay in my naive bubble (get it?) and indulge my frequent afternoon cravings for this magical chewy, creamy, sweet beverage. According to a jet-setter friend who knows Asian bubble tea well, Sharetea is the real deal. I heard their boba are shipped in from Taiwan, which may explain the pricetag ($4-5 a pop). Very important to note: the "milk teas" are actually made with non-dairy creamer. The "fresh milk teas" are made with whole milk. You can customize your sweetness level, add ons, ice amount, etc, so it's easy to find a combo that's all too perfect for you. Mine is the fresh milk black tea with light ice and added boba. Mmmmm. AND - they offer online ordering and delivery. Can this addiction get any more dangerous? read more

Sharetea - Matcha with fresh milk & boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Not a bad spot, but boba is getting real fancy now and Sharetea needs to up its game. The counter located in the Metreon building across from the AMC is convenient enough and we ordered ahead making the wait time nil. I went with the strawberry black tea with boba with 0% sugar and it was still real sweet. I opted for the big balls (always!) and they weren't that big. I guess I like 'em real big and Sharetea just didn't live up. My friends ordered a green tea lemonade with the option with a real life half lemon in there chillin'. That's what I'm getting next time, for reals. read more

Meh. I've had better service and quality of Sharetea on Geary and in San Mateo. This sharetea is located inside the metreon plaza (plaza? Mall? food court? whatever!!). My bf and I came here to get drinks before watching a movie yesterday. Line went by fast, no complaints there. Unfortunately this Sharetea only has a limited selection of drinks... Didn't get my favorite peach green milk tea yesterday. :-( Instead I opted for mango passionfruit green tea with boba (light ice, normal sweet), and my bf got a peach GT with herb jelly (um... who gets herb jelly? LOL). Got our drinks in about 5 minutes, super quick. We opened them and from the first sip, my mango passionfruit GT was WAY too sweet!! I could barely taste the GT, and all I tasted was the sugary syrup..!! They definitely need to adjust their syrup pump amounts here! The bf's peach GT was okay. The herb jelly kinda overpowered the drink but that's his fault ha ha. The only commending thing about my drink was that the boba was ON POINT. So soft, and perfectly cooked! Also the drinks are overpriced here ($4.25 at the minimum, then you have to pay extra for toppings)!! I get that it's metreon and it's in the heart of downtown, but jeez D: The service here was also ehh... The lady at the front was not friendly or helpful whatsoever and looked like she hated her job. Not a good look! Mediocre drinks, mediocre service... Probably won't be back unless i'm watching a movie and i'm desperate for boba. read more
