CoCo Bubble Tea - Downtown SF — Restaurant in San Francisco

Tried standard green tea without sugar with boba which is what I always try at any boba tea store for the first time to taste the actual tea flavor, and the quality of the boba.

The quality was unexpectedly AWESOME. Pearl Boba were cooked and served to perfection. Same quality compared with Taiwan's original Coco store!

The tea is authentic, brewed properly with the right concentration of tea and bitter sweet aftertaste.

Kudo to the store manager for keeping the kitchen to cook the pearl properly.

Serving time is about 6 to 8 minutes, slightly longer than usual fast boba tea stores. But the quality is worth the wait and may improve after staffs are more familiar with the process. (learned that store only opened since...

It was not transparent to me that the place is BoBa gelatinous spheres which are suddenly popular around here. Apparently the word “Pearl” was a hint. Anyway. Service is ok, otherwise you have standard mix out of package, which makes watery drink which is no juice, no tea, no character and bunch of ugly Boba at the bottom. Oh, and probably some hype only younger people are getting from it. Why would they regularly pay 7$ for diluted chemicals. Beer is much healthier. Blah… But I had to try it to be on the same page with modern trends. Couple times a year do not kill you. And yes, zero sugar tastes sweet. I do not think they put sugar in it. It is just a taste of the gelatin or agar, or whatever boba...

I've been a boba enthusiast since high school and have tried it over 100 times And this store in San Francisco is hands down the best, especially their pearl which has the perfect size and texture. Not too small and not too big. Just right 👌and super Quick!!

So this is my top recommendations !
