Boba Guys is a must try! One of the best boba shops I’ve tried - and we have tried plenty. They have unique flavors you won’t find elsewhere and I hope someday they’ll span some store to TX! We got the Korean banana milk tea w boba and matcha strawberry milk tea w boba. Very tasty and filling. The drinks were not too sweet and I’ve had matcha + fruit milk teas before that can be overpowering w one flavor but Boba Guys did a great job of balancing this drink; you taste the matcha and lingering sweet strawberry taste afterwards. Delicious! Well worth the wait. We arrived around 12pm and saw that there boba was still be made; unavailable until 1pm. Had a flight to catch but we stuck around the area & I’m so happy we were able to make this our last stop! Heard that the lines can be out the doors sometimes so make sure you order ahead or spare some waiting time in case you get here on a busy day.
The strawberry matcha latte is a surprisingly delicious flavor. The boba was soft with the right amount of chew.
You order on the machine, you wait, and you grab your drink and go. There was no line but the wait took longer than I expected.
Honestly I have never tasted iced tea this good in a while. I had the Strawberry Jasmine Green tea and it was REALLY good. I'm not a big fan of tapioca pearls so I care more about the drink content itself. I really recommend Strawberry Jasmine. I went a second time and got the Korean Banana Milk and it wasn't good. It didn't taste like banana milk at all. It felt like I was drinking a liquified version of a banana bread. Also, there are some crackheads that linger around the area and one even attacked my friend while she was in the store and none of the employees did anything to de-escalate the situation... which is kind of weird. They also have a sign saying they can't accept cash "due to a break in" but the sign has been up there for a while which is kind of odd? But other than that, no other problems.
A very nice little place where you can have amazing teas and smoothies. We had strawberry matcha latte with aloe jelly and boba. The drink was really fresh and tasty. Would recommend it.
Simple place with only a counter to order but it is the freshest boba with fast service! We ordered three different drinks, the vanilla macha and strawberry macha drinks were great, all our drinks were done under 10 minutes! We loved the drinks just wish we could sit and enjoy but the drinks were awesome! I will visit again!
Boba Guys’ Strawberry Matcha Latte has a very unique blend of flavors. Three layers of sweet goodness. The strawberry layer was my favorite. A bigger straw would help aspirate the boba pearls.
Walk almost a mile to try Boba Guys but don’t recommend this long of a walk for this place. Staff were nice, place was clean, and fast service. I don’t think they have too many options.
I recalled Boba Guys’ drinks being on the decline. The last couple times weren’t good in their Filmore location. We decided to give them another try - their seasonal offerings are quite enticing. So far, we tried their sawadee cloud, mango matcha latte, pastel paradise cloud, and sapin sapin.
The sawadee cloud was alright. Thai tea + cold brew coffee = caffeine++. I thought it could be stronger.
The mango matcha latte was okay. It really needed more mango purée. Their strawberry matcha latte continues to be the best but we have high hopes that mango would get up there someday.
The pastel paradise cloud was definitely a taste of paradise. I love the flavors. Boba Guys always impress with their strawberry flavor. Lychee is a solid addition.
The sapin sapin failed the expectations vs reality. The drink wasn’t bad by any means BUT it looked nothing like the picture.
They got some rare tea flavors that you don't find just anywhere. Tasty and refreshing!
This was definitely the best thing I tried while in SF. Reasonably priced and delicious. They make their own tapioca and experiment with so many different flavours of bubble tea. I tried multiple on my trip (pictured below).
One of the best things for me is that they use regular milk instead of condensed milk (except in their HK milk tea).
The line might seem long but usually goes pretty quick since it moves 4-5 people at a time.
This place is amazing! First of all, prepare to wait for at least 30-40 minutes! Second of all, it's worth the wait! 😊 I tried the Horchata flavored one and it was great! They are really delicious and you can definitely taste the quality. Definitely a must have if you're in town. They have a website as well, so look at it as your waiting in line. The best part, it is one block away from Union Square! 🤙
I used to not be a boba guys fan, but after trying their strawberry matcha I am. This location is pretty small, no seating, but great matcha latte:) it’s $6.56 for a medium
Might have been my own fault because I was trying to be a bit more adventurous but I ordered the Korean banana milk oat latte or whatever and it tasted like straight banana bread. It wasn't bad but I wish the flavor was more subtle. Do not recommend unless you LOVE bananas. The boba however was warm, fresh, and delicious!

The matcha strawberry latte is delicious. A popular drink for a reason!!! Always love getting Boba Guys when I’m in SF.
Good boba drinks. Order on the phone for quicker pick up!
Nice employees and EXTREMELY fast service. If you don’t know what to try I highly recommend asking the employee for suggestions. I was able to try their ube and white rabbit cookie which were both delicious! Their boba is super tasty and drinks were great. Highly recommend this location. Every visit we ordered 4 drinks and every time we’d literally get our order within 5 mins
I tried a lot of bubble teas in SF and this one is the only one I re-bought. I like that you can adjust sugar % to your needs, since most bubble teas are way too sweet for me. Tapiocas were tasty too!
As an Taiwanese that drink tapioca for years, boba guys is doing pretty fine. I got classic black with 25% sweet. The taste of the milk tea is a little bit light but good enough. It’s a little bit pricey as well.
