With the help of this guide, you can spend way too much on a liquid snack almost anywhere in town!
Boba
There’s nothing worse than stale sub-par tapioca, or the type of milk teas with saccrine clumps of powder floating around in them. Here are some city favorites if you’re a bubble tea connoisseur.

Wonderful Foods Co
2035 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122
This place has some of the best Boba in town. Not overly sweet like the Quickly chain, and their tapioca never gets too hard.

Sweet House the
3512 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121
Great tapioca AND milkshakes (made with Mitchell’s ice cream) for some of the best prices in the city. Your typical milk tea is under 3 bucks.

Eggetts
Great tapioca, and fresh, warm, aesthetically pleasing egg-shaped pastries. Not to mention the wall of 25 cent prize machines. I’m a real sucker for those, especially when they have Homiez or super balls.
Teas

Red Blossom Tea Merchants
This brother and sister owned shop is a nice little sanctuary amid the hectic Chinatown streets.
Oakside Cafe
1195 Oak St, San Francisco, CA 94117
Interestingly spicy chai worth trying. Comfy couches.

Fancy Juices & Smoothies
Sidewalk Juice
Beets? Carrots? Acai? Sidewalk Juice has it all. I like carrot ginger to remedy one of those lazy hangover days. Worth the $5 every now and then.
CocoaBella Chocolates
Try thier extremely rich hot cocoa (there’s only one type) with whipped cream and two homemade marshmallows. Even though you’ll probably never want chocolate again after half of this drink, test out at least one of the unique truffles. The balsamic one is a favorite.
CocoaBella Chocolates
2102 Union St San Francisco, CA 94123
Xox Truffles Inc
6126 La Salle Ave, Oakland, CA 94611
The real deal melted chocolate hot chocolate. Free truffle with the purchase of any drink.

Milkshakes
Swensen's Ice Cream
Union & Hyde, San Francisco, CA 94102
An established San Francisco ice cream house for indulgent, worthwhile shakes. The first of many. Try pumpkin and eggnog to embrace winter shake cravings. Cash only!

Pearl's Deluxe Burgers
708 Post St San Francisco, CA 94109
Banana chocolate is a must.
Union Street Pantry
2217 Union St San Francisco, CA 94123
This place is known for their fat-free froyo twist on ice cream. Most everyone seems to ignore that it’s a convenience store, and goes straight for the shakes and ice cream.
Sweet Delite Gourmet Foods
Another top boba pick in the city. The taro tapioca is a must try.
Chai-Yo Thai Noodle
1331 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109
The sister store just beside this place has pretty little sweets and that perfect boba consistency down. Just be warned – some of those cute shiny egg pastries contain more than what meets the eye. Be sure to read the lables before you order green bean seahorse balls.

Chamalyn
Never have you seen anyone so excited by boba as the saleslady here.
Chamalyn
3491 19th St San Francisco, CA 94110
Samovar Tea Lounge
Sip from large pots of fanciful teas at this cozy new-age-y spot. The chai is legendary, and the menu (polenta ginger waffles, wild mushroom quiche, etc.) isn’t so bad either.
Leland Tea Co
1416 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94109
A great place to spend an afternoon with a kettle. This place is just as much about the atmosphere as the tea itself.
