District Tea is in Mission - in between 17th and 18th street. Easy to get to using Bart by getting off 16th street. It’s not the safest neighborhood, but it is home to so many amazing food places.
District Tea’s a bit small, but the minimalist style & high ceiling kind of makes the place big. You can order in person or via the self-ordering machine.

One thing that's really great about District Tea is that they use real ingredients and no artificial flavorings or sweeteners. The prices are also very reasonable.
Overall, we'd love to visit District Tea again for the delicious food and drinks and friendly service. The only caveat is that I wish parking were easier...
