Poor San Franciscans. I think Wonderful Foods really is one of the best options for pearl tea in SF but it really isn't the best out there, esp if you compare it to some of the South Bay plces. Simple place with some candy/snack offerings on the side and the pearl tea counter in the back. Good variety of pearl drinks and other drinks (about 50 of them).

The tapoica balls deserve honorable mention since they were good consistency (not too chewy and not too hard) but I couldn't really taste any green tea in the green milk tea. And when I asked for coconut jelly (which their board listed), they gave me lichee jelly.

Bottom line: Good pearl tea for San Francisco (3.5 stars) but shocked how I think this is the best SF has to offer with its huge Chinese population. For great pearl milk tea or boba tea, you GOTTA come down to South Bay and try Fantasia in Cupertino/Milpitas or Tea Era in Mt View- their milk tea and pearls are in a different league.

Came across a users review on yelp and regrettably I have to agree 100% with it...

lol my bad. that night i left my phone at work so i got your text the next morning.

been pretty busy past couple weeks so i havent been able to keep up with what's going on. however, that does not reflect upon my dedication for the love of boba. boba is superior in all aspects compared to any other drink in the same genre. i will defend it's name to the end.

shragon · 02-28-2008, 01:07 PM

coming out tonight nick?
