Milktopia

I was buying dumpings next door when I saw Eggette waffles and I decided to give it a try! They have a digital ordering machine and the prices were very fair (about $7). I didn't have very high expectations as they mainly focus on boba. However the waffle was so good! Perfectly crispy edges and fluffy waffle areas. I got it with chocolate chips and it was so delicious with perfectly melted. The waffle took about 10 mins to make and was made fresh. Def worth the price! I'll definitely be back!

Located in the Parkside neighborhood, Milktopia is a small unassuming storefront; however, once you step inside you're greeted with a wide array of tea beverages, snacks and soft serve options - something for everyone! Inside Milktopia, ordering can be done either with one of their employees or at the kiosk. Seating isn't plentiful in the store, which makes sense given the size; however, there are four bar stool style seating available for those of you wanting to enjoy your selections. Otherwise, most patrons often take their goodies to-go and enjoy them while strolling around the area. I ordered their mango pomelo sago, the HK silky milk tea, and the salty egg puff. Mango pomelo sago is a personal go-to drink of mine, and I'm happy to share that the one crafted by Milktopia tastes just as good as any of my favorites. The HK silky milk tea was authentic, although I will note they use evaporated milk (as opposed to the usual condensed milk) so the drink is a little less sweet than it normally is, which could be a bonus to some. Their egg puffs are freshly made and take about 10 or so minutes to prepare. Their salty egg puff was a delicious mix of savory and sweet flavors, and they also have other unique egg puff flavors including oreo, boba, and meat floss (which I'll definitely be back to try in the future). If you're in the Parkside area and are looking for your next best boba stop, then I highly recommend giving Milktopia a try!

When you enter, there's a kiosk for ordering. The inside of the shop is quite small, but there are four high stools available for seating. There were two people in front of me when I arrived a little after 2pm on Saturday. After placing my order, I sat on one of the stools to wait for my drink. From the time I arrived to when I got my drink, it took about 30 minutes, which felt like a long wait. There were two staff members making drinks behind the counter, and a third person joined later.I ordered a Jasmine Green Milk Tea with 25% sweetness. The boba had a good texture but did lack a bit of flavor. Overall, the drink was decent. It was more on the lighter side than rich, so it wasn't the creamiest. The tea had a good fragrance.

I love coming here for their egg puffs. They also have a variety of drinks to choose from. Hong Kong style menu. I asked the owner and he's from Hong Kong so it makes it even better. Their honey soft serve was pretty good too. I'll come back to try their spamasubis and other egg puffs. I really recommend their original egg puff.

When I needed to find something to drink, I found the store I found out their ice cream is from California farms so I decided to order the Oreo Choco cream puff and mango sago. I always go to different stores to try out their mango sago but this one in particular is very good. It's it is in my top five favorite mango Sagos. The sago is just perfect not too sweet and then a mango refresh. I like the store I'm gonna come in again.

Generally good tea, fav being the lemon mango teas and the green tea creme where the jelly comes with the selection. Generous portion for price. Egg waffles taste average. The main shop owner is sometimes a little rude but others are fine.

Liquid calories -- the one dessert category my bf & I can agree on. On the way back to our car after picking up lunch nearby, we came across Milktopia, a small shop with an extensive drink menu as well as soft serve, egg puff waffles, & a variety of spam musubi. My Strawberry Lemon Burst was delicious & refreshing; floral from the tea & sweet from the muddled strawberries. His piña colada had a good amount of flavor & even though it was icy instead of creamy, it didn't taste watered down. $13.50 for two drinks. Not a speedy visit; only one person taking orders & making drinks (I'd hate to think what the wait would be with a couple customers ahead of us!) Four colorful stools serve as the only seating so plan to take your drinks & snacks to-go. Parking in the area is made worse by the current construction on this block of Taraval.

A friend of mine recommended the HK Silky Milk Tea here, so I gave it a try while in the area. The drink was very rich and creamy! The perfect balance for my palate. A classic strong black tea flavor that I adore. The caffeine was also pretty hefty too. Kept me awake for a good while.KEEP IN MIND: Taraval doesn't have any parking really. So definitely aim to park in a nearby neighboorhood. There's also no seating inside. Takeout only!

Soft serve ice cream with toppings pretty much. Around $7 for a cup of vanilla soft serve with one oreo cookie and fine oreo cookie crumbs. Pretty expensive. if i'm ever in the area, i'll try the other drinks and desserts.

Milktopia has a good selection of Boba and assorted drinks. Quality and prices are comparable to other places on Taraval. I found this place because the place next door was just too slow. I value time, and Milktopia gets their food and drinks out reasonably fast. Tip: if there's a line of drinks on the counter to be made, the expect a longer wait time. Normally there are 2 workers behind that counter, so drinks come out quicklyOverall 4 stars!
