Teapenter - San Francisc

Cashier wasn't too friendly. I ordered a taro milk tea with boba, 80% sweetness and it tasted like almost 120% sweetness. Would still be willing to try other drinks but beware if you aren't a fan of super sugary drinks!

Friend got a taro milk tea 80% sweet and it tasted like 120% sweet. We came around closing and service was fast but the cashier was rude, maybe bc it was the end of the day. When I went to use the restroom she said it was broken. Meh attitude and meh drink; boba was overly chewy but their artificial taro powder tastes pretty good.

This was my first time at Teapenter. I think my drink was not bad (strawberry green tea 50% sweet), but nothing stood out too much. It was definitely more affordable than some of the other boba options in the area especially with the large cup size. I did like how there were small strawberry bits at the bottom, so it didn't feel like just strawberry syrup. I also got the mochi eggette waffle which was pretty good! I really liked the waffle flavor but I do wish the waffle was cooked a little longer so that it got more crispy. Overall 3.5-4 stars for me.

It was okay ... i got the roasted oolong milk tea at 50% sweetness and it tasted a little watered down. i prefer my tea to be stronger flavor so it wasn't my favorite. Plus is that its a pretty decent size for what you pay (relative to other places). I paid about 15 for 3 drinks. I also tried the mochi puff which was good!

That said, I really appreciated the distinct rose flavor in my drink and the fact that they got my ice levels just right. Some places struggle with ice amounts, either offering none or too much, but Teapenter nailed it! I do wish the menu displayed prices, but my drink cost $5.50 as of April 2022, which aligns with the pricing of other boba spots on Irving, especially now that Tpumps down the road has raised their regular-sized drinks to $5. The interior of Teapenter is quite small, and even though it seems there's only one person working, they are very quick and efficient! There's no space to sit down and chat, so don’t come here expecting to linger with friends for a long while; it's more of a grab-and-go establishment. Overall, it’s a typical boba shop, and you’ll likely be pleased with anything you order. It’s especially great for kids and anyone who enjoys sweet flavors!
