Wanpo Tea Shop - San Francisco

Stonestown has been popping lately with new vendors and stores! Wanpo at stonestown IMO has the best boba balls at stonestown! Things soft, chewy and has a good bounce to it. It's not overly hard or overly soft. You order at the kiosk and your drinks get prepared and ready pretty quick unless there is already a line. It's pretty much a grab and go place so nothing to rave or complain about

Our destination was 0&, but it was closed today!Instead, we decided to have tea at Wanpo and each picked something we wanted.I chose the sugarcane lemonade!Wanpo has a wide variety of tea-based drinks, but that's not all they offer!The drink I ordered was perfectly sweet and refreshing, striking a good balance. It turned out to be more satisfying than I had expected.

Probably the only boba place in the mall that makes good boba, not over/undercooked and just the perfect chew. Grass jelly is also silky, just the way I like it. As far as tea goes, it's nothing amazing but better than a couple of other places in the vicinity. Could use a tad bit of improvement and make it a bit stronger so it doesn't taste as generic. If specialty tea is your selling point, you sure don't make it like it.The menu isn't super extensive or crazy which is great since a long menu can be problematic considering their self-checkout situation. They offer just the basic necessities which is fine with me.Speaking of self-checkout, while a lot of boba establishments have been opting for this format in recent years, Wanpo in Stonestown is probably the only one I've been in where the baristas can't even be bothered to say "hello" or even call out your order number when you've literally placed your order in front of their face while they were too busy head-down in their phones and you're the only one standing there.Think 2:30pm on a weekday after lunch rush and school hasn't let out yet. Yeah, it's pretty dead. But again, instead of raising your head to acknowledge your customers' presence, you opt to keep your head down, place the drink on the counter, hit the notify button, and IMMEDIATELY take your phone back out of your pocket. I've been in service-centric work for quite some time now and 100% judge friends/family who don't tip accordingly -- this is probably the first time I wish I hadn't tipped at all.That's just my experience today. I typically order ahead and go straight to pick-up so I can't say this is the situation all the time. This doesn't take away from the overall quality of their drinks, but it does leave a bad taste in one's mouth.

I m a frequent buyer and bought 3 drinks today - Sunday afternoon around 3:30pm. Since I have 3 drinks I asked for a tray or a bag and the lady (pony tail with dye hair) said no tray then I said - do u have a bag? She said .25 and walked away. This entire convo has no eye contact /no acknowledgment. She didn't even lift her head up. I waited for a couple sec, I walked away holding 3 drinks on my arm, This was really a turn off for me. I will spend my money elsewhere.

They make really good bobas here my favorite is the Mango Pomelo Sago. It's better to order online for pick up. Keep in mind that on weekends it can get busy with tons of orders.

Finally got to try this Wanpo location in Stonestown after it replaced Yifang. Ordering from the kiosk was pretty fast, but the wait for the drinks does take a bit of time if you do go on the weekends when it's busy. I ordered the Wanpo Milk Tea with 70% sweetness, less ice and pearls (small boba). The milk tea doesn't taste like powder, which is something I was really happy about after trying my drink. One of the reasons why I enjoy going to Wanpo is because they're one of the few milk tea spots that has pearls as a topping option. Their drinks are pretty sweet, so I'd recommend adjust it to your preference.

3.5/5. Wanpo isn't in my list of favorite boba shops, but it gets the job done. I'll come here if it's on the way home or if I'm already at Stonestown running errands. You order on a tablet (sometimes they put out a second tablet if it's extra busy as it is during the weekends), and the menu is only sometimes displayed on the TV screen at the storefront. It'd be more efficient if the menu was always present to decrease wait times, as people would spend less time scrolling on the tablet while deciding their order. The tieguanyin milk tea, Wanpo milk tea, and matcha brown sugar boba latte are solid, and I'll usually get one of these three when I visit. The texture of the boba, which I prefer over the smaller pearls, is nice and chewy. Guava oolong is refreshing, and I didn't mind that the tea had a slight thickness from the guava. However, for the startfruit juice, I couldn't finish more than a quarter of the drink because it tasted nothing like starfruit but rather intense sour plum. I wish Wanpo offered a taro milk tea and wintermelon milk tea (with caffeine)!

Great flavors and gives a good amount of boba. Wanpo Tea shop gives me a mixed combination of Little Sweet + Yi Fang + TP Tea..I guess what I'm trying to say is that they have a good variety of drinks when I needed an alternative from one of the boba shops that I listed.

Saw this new boba place in the mall and decided to give it a try. Their passion fruit green tea tasted so good. I thought i would not be able to taste the passion fruit at all like how other boba places make theirs. However with this drink i can taste the passion fruit and it was good and refreshing. I'm not sure about their other drinks because I haven't tried it. However, I highly recommend the passion fruit green tea from here :) Also, the service was quiet fast because there was no line and there were option to order on the iPad or with the cashier. There is no seating for this boba place because it's just a big boba stand. You just order, grab, and go.

When I first saw the long line, it was a bit daunting. However, I knew I had to give it a try, as people wouldn't wait so long for mediocre boba. While waiting, I checked their Yelp reviews and was surprised by their low ratings despite the long line. Despite this, I decided to stick it out and ended up waiting for about 10 minutes before placing my order.Orders were placed at a kiosk, and upon arrival, I found that many popular drinks, like the brown sugar boba drink, were sold out, which was in line with what I had read in the reviews.I opted for the OREO Custard Boba Milk Tea, Medium, with 30% sweetness and light ice. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! The custard and oreo chunks were distinct and flavorful. The only downsides were the boba, which was a bit hard but still chewy, indicating that it may not have been freshly made and although 30% sweet, it was still very sweet.Overall, the experience was decent, and I found that the Yelp reviews accurately reflected my own experience.
