Nameless Tea & Coffee — Restaurant in San Francisco

Summary: Pretty good. I've had a positive experience. Food's alright and the Milk Tea is good. I liked it and I'll definitely be going back again for more Thai Iced Tea. I'll be recommending it to my friends. Would feel more comfortable if their shop was a bit cleaner and they had a higher Health rating, though.

Pros: The sandwiches and teas are pretty decently priced for the area. Sandwiches are low cost and simple. Not spending $12 on bread with no meat. They take cards (minimum $10 or $0.25 fee) or cash. Lots of varieties of teas, coffees, milk teas, and other beverages.

Cons: They currently (as of July 2017) have a health rating of 81, which is extremely low for a place that serves hand made food. My hunch, though, is that this may be mainly due to the deteriorated walls (every building in this area is old).

Neutral Observations: There's no seating to eat/drink. Since this is a grab-n-go style of place, that's fairly common. They have a lot of clutter on the floors and stairwell behind the counter. The ingredients they use for their sandwiches appear to just be from Walgreens, et al. There's nothing wrong with that, but they're paying a premium expense by buying things retail. However, there may not be enough foot traffic to warrant buying in bulk wholesale, which would save them cost. Most places like this serve pre-made snacks to get around this, but because they are adjacent to a bakery, Walgreens, Little Caesar's, and another coffee shop; there is strong competition nearby for pre-made snacks. They use a small oven to briefly heat their sandwiches. Heating them in a stove top/frying pan or proper griddle (not a 120v plug-in griddle from Target) would heat the sandwiches much faster and more thoroughly; which would give them a faster turn-around for serving customers, and allow them to serve more customers at once. However, as mentioned above, there's probably not a lot of people buying...

Close to the Cesar's pizza place. It's a very small shop, fits about 4 people waiting inside comfortably, one ordering kiosk, and maybe one backup counter register. Drinks starts around $5. You have your fruit teas, traditional milk teas, and special teas with Oreos. You have your choice of additional toppings like boba and jellies. You can control your sweetness level and ice amount.

The traditional jasmine milk tea with half sweet was okay, I did order grass jelly for my drink, but I had to chop them into drinkable pieces with my straw.

Not bad for a boba place. I would probably choose to increase the sweetness a bit for the...

Got to try Nameless from a friend’s DoorDash order. The Egg Waffle with Cheese was delicious, highly recommended. All the toppings were good—tapioca cooked to perfection. Cheese Creama on the milk tea was super good; but, it was just a thin layer of it—how stingy! The tea flavors were subtle; would be nice to make it more intense.

One thing we absolutely dislike was that there is a 50 cents charge when ordering tea...
