I got the lychee tea with sea salt foam and boba. The drink itself was nice and refreshing, I got the recommended 75% sweet. The boba's texture was nice and soft, but didn't have sweetness or flavor. Their menu has a lot of variety, especially for matcha drinks. However, the small is very small for $7+
The store was empty when we arrived. There was one worker, who was attentive and made our drinks very quickly. The dirty matcha was not my favorite. The boba is nice and chewy, but the matcha itself watered down. There's a bit of a fridge water taste to it. I'd give this a 2/5. The dirty strawberry tastes like strawberry milk and I enjoy it. It's not too sweet but has a good strawberry flavor. I'd give this a 4/5.
I was really craving an ice boba on a hot sunny day and found this place pretty ideal. There is no place inside except for two stools and one small bench, but basically they don't really have AC on, so it's actually super hot. Even though you can't take a quick seat, you essentially can't stay there for a really long time. There were 3 people in front of me online, plus 3 other orders from a different person that came earlier, and service was still really quick. We only waited for about 5 minutes each person before getting our drink. They charged $6 for their small bobas and $7 for their large. They had quite a range of options from lattes to bobas and other milk options. There's a bus station right outside, so it's pretty convenient for public transportation. The only downside of it is that it's not a place where you can hang out. But if you're only here to grab a drink and go, it is the ideal location. The taste of the Dirty Boba was pretty refreshing and ice-cold as well. You place your orders on a machine right in front of the counter, so we've actually only one employee inside who's making all the drinks. In general, there's not a lot of wait time when it comes to having someone place an order for you. There's also a sandwiches ATM shop right across the street and a pizza place right next door.
Such a cute logo and such good bubble tea. Quick, friendly service. Ordered two with boba and they were better taste and quality than lots of similar places. I would come back.
My bes-tea and I love getting tea when we hang out. She chose Tea & Others since we'd both never been. The tea shop is small and unassuming with a few dinosaur decorations. There's a menu posted outside and inside. Order at the kiosk, pick up your drink when it's ready, and take it to go. Service wasn't helpful or memorable but the drink was well-made. Milk and fruit teas are available with customizations and dairy alternatives. I got the Taro Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, Light Ice, and 50% Sweetness. The matcha was earthy, I enjoyed that they used real taro, and the drink as a whole was slightly sweet and creamy. My friend enjoyed the strong floral taste of her Organic Jasmine Milk Tea. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but I did appreciate trying Tea & Others. Parking is limited and street only with its location off Divisadero Street.
I haven't been in a few years so I went back today to get some boba. The shop is a small store, with almost no seating, and you order via a kiosk. I ordered a large matcha latte, and it came with boba. The total was about $7.40. They do charge extra for alternative milk options and for other toppings. The boba itself was good. It was not that sweet so that might be personal preference. The drink itself was okay. It tasted like sweetened milk with a hint of matcha. If you are a huge fan of matcha, I would order something else. But overall, it was a fine boba drink.
This place has the best boba branding I've seen! The dinosaur stuck in the boba cup is adorable, and there are dinosaurs all throughout the inside. The service was quick and friendly! I got the osmanthus oolong with crema. It's quality tea; and because I got the crema at 50%, it wasn't too sweet. I highly recommend this place!
I dipped in here with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the drinks! There's no seating in this shop but they have a vibrant menu to order from -- I got the passionfruit green tea with jelly and it was just as delicious as YiFang / some other iconic boba brands out there. Very refreshing on a warm day. My friend also really liked her dirty matcha. Service was also fast. Excited to stop by again next time I'm on Divis.
Having been to A LOT of boba spots, it's getting more and more rare to have a pleasant surprise when we check out a new spot. Still, Tea & Other had been on our list for a few months ever since we saw the cute logo and saw some of their drinks in hand of people strolling around. We were so glad to finally check it out because it was unexpectedly good! It's a small shop without anywhere to linger, and as is common these days, is contactless. Still, the drinks come out quickly and had uncommonly good flavor as well as decent boba. This gets a high rating from us and we would definitely return! I love dirty boba and got a dirty matcha boba which was quite good and my wife got a seasonal special fruit tea that was really tasty!
Stopped into here as I had errands to run in the area & wanted a drinky drink to reward myself LOL. I think it's a pretty solid neighborhood offering. There was no seating in the store, so you can only order (on the kiosk) for take out. They did not have Taro available on the day I went, which I was really craving, but I went with the Mango Matcha Latte (3/5). It was very thick and viscous, and kind of chalky in texture. Could be because I got a mango drink when it's not in season, but the mango in this was very sour and tart, a bit unexpected. Service was quick and prompt, as I was the only one in the store at the time. I'll come back to try out another menu offering.
Tea & Others was such a cute spot. Probably one of the best boba balls in the city, they were soft and chewy but also a bit warm, which is exactly the way I love them. I got the Milk Tea which although good and refreshing, was a little bit less flavorful than some other places I've been to. But I would definitely love to come back and try some more flavors. The cup is so cute and the small was a perfect size for a small pick me up in the middle of the day.
Jurassic Park had me fearing the TEA-rex since a young age, and pro-BOBA-ly for the rest of my life. Luckily here, no dinosaurs- only some boba drinks. .:: Drinks ::. Pink Panther $5.50+ Creama (+$1): Strawberry Cake Batter laced around the cup with jasmine tea. Added on creama. I liked this drink more than my own drink. My friend got this and was a unique taste with the cake batter. Gave it a more dense texture and a kick of flavors. Strawberry Matcha Latte $5.50: basically everything is in the name, strawberry puree with matcha and milk. Very meh! Strawberry puree was tasting flat, almost didnt even taste it. Usually the puree adds on sweetness, but felt like it was not sweet at all. Matcha was just bitter and watered down. Not the rich matcha you would get at a quality place. .:: Ambiance / Service / Parking ::. TAKE OUT ONLY currently (reporting live on 5/2023). The place looked pretty small though. Cashier and I have very little interaction as it was a order at the kiosk type of place. Only one Kiosk available so can see a line forming if theres many people We walked from another restaurant, but looks like street parking
Jasmine milk tea - 5/5, super strong tea flavor! It's hard finding good boba places with strong tea, so I'm glad my friends decided to walk down to it from Haight. Boba is good too, nice and chewy. Crema osmanthus oolong tea - 5/5, I only had a sip but the tea flavor is strong and the crema is good. I also had a sip of the black milk tea and really liked it. There is a strong tea flavor, which I absolutely love! I would definitely want to come back.

Great experience, great drinks! It was my second time visiting this place after a year. My brother ordered the Large Thai Tea with double boba. I went with my go-to--a strawberry milk tea with boba. I would recommended and definitely go again! read more
Agree with some other reviewers - milk tea is only ok. I must have ordered the wrong sweetness level, because even at 50% it wasn't sweet enough. We ordered the mango matcha and dirty matcha with brown sugar (comes with boba). The boba didn't have much flavor since it's not boiled in honey. For the small size it seemed too small for the price where most drinks also don't include boba which is an extra .75. There's one bench inside so it's mostly order to go. No cash, card only. read more

I usually don't get the fruit versions at boba places, but I really needed something refreshing after walking about 10,000 steps and decided to try their mango slushy option. Oh my goodness, it was exactly what I needed. It hit the spot. It was refreshing, fresh, and nice and fruity. The mango flavor really came through, and as a mango fan, I have nothing but good things to say. The only thing I would say is I got a small and it was definitely not enough, so I would go for a larger size next time, but that's really just me wanting more of it in the future. It's also just in a really nice neighborhood to walk around, so it's a great place to grab a drink and then go for a walk or head to the park. The service was really sweet too. There was only one person working when I went and she was doing a great job handling everyone. read more

Another place with extended-covid seating situation in the Bay Area. Let's move on and stop using half the cafe for boxes and junk and let people sit and enjoy a drink. The actual drink was great! I got an oolong tea with some salted foam, taro and boba. Love that you can add on whatever you like to your drink. And second drink was mango milk with boba which was yummy too. The small portion was just the right size. I recommend to grab and take a walk up Castro then turn right towards the park. Nice walk and you can enjoy the view of painted ladies and other Victorian homes along the way. read more
Make sure to do Yelp Check in for a free topping! My friend and I came on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait! We ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte and Watermelon Green tea. Both were average and they did specify that all drinks were large size only. It was standard SF pricing but I don't think anything was special for me to come again. They're a small boba corner store without any seating and just a kiosk in the front area. Parking also very limited. Their decor is adorable with the earthy tones and plants everywhere. Their menu is also so cute with the clipboards! read more
3.5 stars but rounding up for a solid boba spot in SF. Remember to check in on Yelp for a free topping! They weren't busy yet when I stopped by at 2pm on a Friday, and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Their storefront is small and cozy, and you can use their kiosk to place your order. I tried the Grape Oolong with Crema ($5, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=dHelDQGa9TZbVynlAqWFzg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg), which was solid, but had more tea flavor than grape flavor. The crema was smooth and creamy, and this drink would have been great with more grape flavor. It was barely sweet at 25% sweetness, and I would opt for at least 50% the next time around (their system recommended 75%). Although their drinks were slightly smaller compared to other boba places, their prices were also slightly lower. I would come back to check out their matcha drinks if in the area. Some staff were still wearing masks. No indoor or outdoor seating was available. Street parking is available in this area, but it can be difficult to find parking. read more

Came here to try them out after passing by on my way to the Haight. Got one of their tea + cake drinks because it seemed interesting. Ultimately, it was underwhelming. The concept was cool but the execution did not pan out; the cake batter felt thin and was completely overpowered by the matcha to the point it might as well have not been there. The matcha itself was good and delicious though. As for ambiance, there was none. Most of the storefront is hidden away behind a fold up table as if this were still 2020 and the vibe I got from the sole guy working at the time was very "here's your drink, now go". Side note, I love their logo and branding. Its cute and fun. Kudos to whoever came up with it. read more
tldr; crema osmanthus oolong with lychee jelly, 75% sweetness Didn't think it was possible to have a new favorite on my second visit here, but I guess it is! - Crema Osmanthus: The crema series is nice because it scratches the itch between fruit tea and milk tea, offering a mix of both before and after you stir. The cheese crema is salty and balances the sweetness of the tea and jelly. Osmanthus tea was delicious and refreshing but not overly sweet! Service was very speedy despite another party being in front of us. read more
Tea & Others has been on my list of boba spots to try as they've got such great reviews compared to a lot of others in the SF scene. Came through for a quick boba break during our adventure in the city. We took the bus to get here, but if you drive good luck finding street parking. The shop is located on the corner, easy to find, and there will probs be a short line out the door. The shop itself is SO small, zero seating, and no outdoor seating either. It's a grab-n-go type of spot, so if you're bringing the elders...bring yourself a stool just in case. They do contactless ordering, so there's only one pad to order from which makes the lines longer. There is a paper menu at the front door, so you can take turns reading the menu while you wait in line. I got their mango matcha boba latte which was beautiful, and my friends' Pink panther and Citrus Gardens looked nice too. The presentation truly is pretty with all of the colors, since you can get milk teas, fruit teas, even CAKE teas what. The drinks are instagrammable with their bright colors. But the interest dies there. There was only one bobarista that day, management needs to staff properly! The poor gal was making all of the drinks herself, so the whole thing probably took 30 mins for us to wait. I felt so bad for her. Once you order, there's barely enough space to wait inside, so I would suggest having 1-2 in your party wait for the drinks. No restrooms, but they do have hand sani and napkins. No serve-yourself water while you wait too. The drinks came out at adequate level of taste. My matcha was good, but it tasted like the matcha I make at home. The drink wasn't even cold enough, probably needed to be stirred with ice before arranging. The mango puree they use isn't too sweet which was wonderful, and honestly the boba was a little too hard, minimal QQ bounce. My friend's pink panther was odd, his words not mine. It was odd drinking boba in cake batter form. The citrus garden was probably our fave, refreshing and honestly just citrus juice. I would pass on Tea & Others, cute concept, but not cute enough for a next time. read more

This place was cute. I love dinosaurs so the theme is right up my alley. My daughter got the dirty strawberry- strawberry purée and milk. It was yummy. Like a fresher strawberry nestle quik. I got the pink Panther which was tea and strawberry cake. I added crema which I thought was a nice touch to it. When ordering on the kiosk, the recommended sugar was 75%. It wasn't sweet at all. So if you get this drink, I suggest 100%. I would have have, had I known. The tea flavor was allllmost slightly too strong. I think they should have descriptions of their drinks, too. Since it was our first time, we didn't know what the dirty drinks were or what the drinks named after animals were. It's only listed when you're ordering. read more

Walked in on a Sunday afternoon, ordered a mango matcha latte and it was really good! Matcha was a little grainy but still super tasty, boba's the right about of chewiness. Only one cashier working at the time but she was speedy quick! The interior decor is also really cute and hip! read more
A small store located on the corner of a busy street - I don't know why I've never walked in before but my friend and I decided to try it. Just one person working the store but it was pretty slow, so service was also really fast. I thought the Mint milk tea was refreshing although could have used a little stronger flavor! I also enjoyed the cute logo on the cups :) I would love to come back and try some of their other drinks! read more

I got the dirty taro and it was super good. Both my husband and I thought it was the perfect dessert. I absolutely hate overly sweet drinks, so I always get 25% wherever I go. Their 25% was super good to me. I'd definitely come back! read more
My first time trying Tea & Others, but certainly not the last. It was hard for me to choose between the dirty boba and the dirty strawberry. I ended up ordering a large dirty strawberry with whole milk, light ice, 75% sweet, boba and lychee jelly. The boba pearls were nice and chewy. I hate when they're too soft. The lychee jelly had a nice chew and flavor was good as well! I was hoping that the boba would have more of a brown sugar boba taste to it. I also wish they had an option to add extra boba. I also knocked off a star because the non-dairy options costs more. It really sucks for those who want to order a drink with "milk", but are lactose intolerant. I personally don't think it's fair for those who are lactose intolerant to be "forced" to pay extra. The drink itself was decent. I was hoping it would have a stronger strawberry flavor, but it was still very good! I wish that their menu actually had a description of what each drink had inside. For instance, the dirty strawberry doesn't actually say what's in it on the menu. When ordering on Doordash, they don't have any of the descriptions listed for the drinks. I might try the dirty boba one next. read more
Solid boba spot on divis! The drinks were tasty - I typically enjoy drinks with strong tea flavor and aren't too sweet or milky. I got the black milk tea less sweet and it was perfect. The boba was a little harder than preferred, but maybe it was an off day. My boyfriend got the taro matcha latte half sweet and it was sweeter than mine. It was still pretty good though, but I prefer the milk tea. read more

- cute and has a lot of menu options - mango matcha latte: ok, fairly strong matcha, purée made the drink kinda thick given the ratios - boba: hard :/ - would go back to try their regular milk teas since they seem like they would be strong which i like, might've just been a bad order this time read more
My friend recommended this spot to me and I've been seeing it all over my Instagram, so I popped in for a visit. The worker was on his phone in the back and I had to call out for him twice before he finally looked up and decided to help me. I was torn between the mango matcha and the taro matcha, so I asked him for his recommendation. He kind of looked at me confused, like he'd never been asked for his opinion in his life, but he said he liked the taro more, so I went with that. They were out of a lot of the toppings when I went, so I just got it plain, 75% sweetness, no ice. 75% was pretty perfect - i think i could've gone for a little less sweetness, but it was good. I liked the earthy taste of the matcha with the combination of the sweet, thick taro paste. Aside from the service, I think I'd make it a point to come back here to try more drinks. read more

Ordered the Organic Jasmine Milk Tea and Organic Black Milk Tea. You can taste the tea flavor for both, but I wouldn't say it's strong. Overall, they were average milk tea beverage. The boba pearls are pretty good tho, throughly cooked, soft and chewy. The store is pretty small, no seating, and you order through a kiosk. When we walked in, nobody was at the front end, which to the introverts is perfect you get no pressure as you look through their menu. read more

Craved some boba, saw good reviews, and caved in. Drinks were a little artificial but bearable but I don't think the boba itself was good which was disappointing. Dirty Boba Milk - boba was firmer and dense while being somewhat chewy but there was no flavor whatsoever. No sweetness on the boba. Drink was a typical sugar milk but I adjusted to 50% sugar and it was still like 150%. Pink Panther - was intrigued by the cake drinks so I decided to add one. Not sure what the cake part is but it's a fruit blended tea, the jasmine tea was very strong here. It's supposed to have cake batter mixed in but this isn't obvious at all through taste. Took me a while to understand the flavor because it tastes pretty artificial but it's like a jasmine tea with strawberry milk tea together. I have no clue what the cake part is, there wasn't a cakey texture or anything. read more

Small shop but big flavor. Loved the classic jasmine milk tea with boba. Lots of matcha latte options. This place seems more frequented for milk based drinks rather than fruit teas but I will be back to try them all. I went with 75% sweet and that was the perfect balance still able to taste the flavor of the tea and not overly sweet. Extra charge for boba but that is pretty standard nowadays. read more
