By Me Boba Tea

Cute decor and good drinks. We got the Thai tea and brown sugar milk tea. The interior design as well as cup design make you feel like you’re in an ancient palace wearing jade and floral hair pins. I’m fond of this styling. Additionally they were playing calming YouTube videos from 李子柒

I had the Hong Kong milk tea, it tasted delicious. The boba was slightly undercooked for my preference but still good. Nice atmosphere and extremely fast service

We stumbled upon this shop and it exceeded our expectations. Customer service was great. The drinks were delicious. Well worth the price. You can dine if you wanted to. There are some food dishes you can order. The dining area is clean and tidy. The space is quite organized and it looks like they keep the place quite hygienic. The drinks were excellent. The fruit drinks were very delicious and well balanced! Definitely suggest coming here if you're thirsty and craving bubble tea. You do have to walk here as there is no parking right outside.

They have cheese foam !! Love the ambiance and staff is very welcoming and kind. Drinks came out super quick ! ❤️

Located in a narrow alley in Chinatown, the glass floor-to-ceiling façade gives the place a certain festiveness. What first caught my eye were the framed posters above the cash registers, forming a kind of comic book visible from the street. I also admired the small CCC Art Gallery opposite — its resplendent colors perfectly complement the boba shop. These two places feel like twins separated at birth, destined to be conjoined.

Bought the passion fruit tea. A good drink for a hot day, pretty refreshing and sweeter. The ambience is pretty nice with 2 tables and bar stools. They have some cute products on the side. Cute Chinese decorations. It is also next to the fortune cookie store so it is perfect while someone wait in line and get some drinks here!

Wonderful location! Their passion fruit tea is so refreshing and not overly sweet! Their Taiwan milk tea is also spectacular. If you’re looking for an affordable and delicious spot to get boba this is the place!

I tried the Hong Kong–style bubble tea here, and it was good. The tea is strong and bold, made with condensed milk, which gives it a rich flavor. Definitely a tasty and satisfying drink if you enjoy stronger tea.

We stop here every time we come to Chinatown! It’s right next to the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Company! Their brown sugar and Thai Milk Boba Teas are delicious. Some even explode! So much fun!

If you are reading this waiting in line for the fortune cookie factory, go for it. Like many others, I assume, we passed the storefront standing in line and decided to stop in for boba to sip while waiting. It was good! Lots of flavors, the three we tried were quite good, not too sweet. Nice texture on the boba and jellies, and - critically - the service was extremely fast so we were able to quickly catch up with the rest of our party in the fortune cookie factory line.

A delightful and serene little shop in a tiny Chinatown alley. It’s filled with plants and plays soothing Li Ziqi (李子柒) videos on repeat, which only adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The tea js wonderful; I recommend the lime fruit tea with lychee jelly! Easily one of my favorite boba shops worldwide. Not to be missed!

What a valuable find! This café is beautifully decorated and the food is absolutely worth every penny. We felt so taken care of — an experience that left us richer in flavor and good vibes!

Very cute interior design! The staff were also very friendly. The mango coconut sago was really yummy and tart, especially on a hot summer day in the city :)

A hidden gem and one of my favorite places for boba in the city. White peach fruit tea is amazing!

Very fresh and fragrant tea drink! Really happy with the sweetness level too. They were able to recommend a drink for my son that was non caffeinated.

Big fan of the signature milk tea that has all of the toppings like red bean and jelly. Great texture, great tea flavor and not too sweet like some other milk teas I’ve had, even at regular sugar levels. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Chinatown- one of the better SF milk tea shops for sure

We loved the freshness of the drinks here. The decor was warm and friendly. The variety of the drinks were very good with slushy drinks, milk and fruit teas, lattes and oriental tea flavors. Highly recommend this place. They have a couple of tables too so you can sit down and enjoy your drinks.

This place is really cute and nicely decorated, the stuff is very nice. i thought boba was delicious, and so was the mango slushy. You can choose to add boba to your drinks or not. They have many toppings. this place is located next to the fortune cookie factory.Recommend you all to try it out.

A nice hidden gem in Chinatown, right next to the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory, we ordered some bubble tea to quench our thirst from this quaint little place. The drinks we bought were refreshing, although note that there is an extra charge of $0.05 if you order with no ice. They also sell fish balls if you're looking for something light and savory as well.

After a sip we threw both away. Boba’s too old and rubbery & Milk tea tasted like herbal medicine. There goes our 15 bucks.

The decorations inside were pretty cute. I got the white peach fruit tea 50% sugar but it tasted like 110% sugar. My friend got the mango latte but 50% sugar but it was also too sweet and artificial tasting. Would not recommend.
