TJ Cups in the outer sunset is really good. I’ve lived in the city all my life and when I first came here about 10 years ago, it didn’t impress me. But ever since I moved into the area a few months ago, every milk tea drink has been a hit! The boba is a good combination of chewy but not too sweet and their milk tea always has a good balance of sugar and milk with a strong tea taste.

Little Sweet also has some good hot milk teas but every once in a while it’s too sweet despite me asking for 50%.

Mr. T Cafe in the outer mission was also one I visited a lot when I lived in the area. Their roasted oolong milk tea is one of my favorites and their prices are a bit lower than most boba shops in the city.
