Urban Ritual Cafe — Restaurant in San Francisco

One of the best boba spots I visited during my weekend stay in the bay! It is downtown so there's gonna be a lack of parking everywhere, so be aware of that.

The spot is quaint and very cozy. You do order through a kiosk and it's easy to pick what you want since it has photos and description of drinks. I don't think the menu at the top of the store's cashier area is updated though.

I do love my boba, so my partner and I got 4 boba drinks to try.

Not pictured: Matcha Toffee - very strong matcha flavor but sweet enough that it was balanced well. The toffee brittle was a nice touch of sweetness at the end.

Gold Winter was my least favorite because it's very jasmine forward and the tea was burnt cuz it left a bitter aftertaste. The drink is pretty though because it has gold edible glitter but the drink itself, I wasn't a fan of. I couldn't even taste the smoked Wintermelon in it and the honey. It was just jasmine green tea.

Feed Me Ube and Creme Brulee were my favorites. The Ube drink was very coconutty and Ube was prominent throughout the drink. It does have Ube puree so I enjoyed that a lot. The creme brulee drink wasn't very sweet buuuuut the creme brulee bits made it much better because it was sweet and toasted. Think of burnt caramel bits. It had that nice bitterness that added to the complexity of the drink. It balanced out the unsweetened milk tea base!

Best part was that the boba was QQ!! It was consistent throughout the drinks we ordered. If the boba is made well, I know the drinks will be great too! I would love to come back here one day! Or better yet, please open up a store...

OH MY GOD why did I not come here sooner when my hair stylist suggested it a month ago?!! I ordered the Creme Brûlée Milk Tea and WOW. It was amazing. I have been having boba drinks since 2002 and search for the best boba drinks all over the world. I have to say that the milk(regular), tea, creme brûlée, and boba were incredible. The drink itself wasn’t sweet when I took the first 2 sips but once you stir it around a bit you will find a perfect blend of sweetness from the brûlée and the DELICIOUS honey boba. I am so delighted when I get warm, perfectly made boba and this was 10/10 for me! The message on the cup was so cute and you also get a side of crunchy torched brown sugar to add and honestly you don’t even need it. Although I did try it and it was yummy but it was too crunchy to mix with the softness of the boba and brûlée. The Creme Brûlée is cooked perfectly and just so DELICIOUS. Worth every penny of the $6.25 plus tip(the drink includes the boba and brûlée) I can’t wait to come back for more!

6/28/21 I came back for another Creme Brûlée Milk Tea and added the Jasmine Green Tea under Classics with Honey Boba 50% sweet. It was very sweet still even for me because of the honey boba but AMAZING. I can taste the quality of the tea and again the boba was fresh and delicious like my last visit. Also I’m addicted to the Creme Brûlée Milk tea. It is even better if that’s possible this time. This place is HANDS DOWN THE BEST IN THE BAY AREA. I will be coming here at least 2-3...

Right when you walk in there is a nice aroma and a friendly greeting from one of the staff. This is cozy place to kick back and go on the internet or hang with someone while drinking some tea. Well, when you manage to find parking (I recommend taking public transportation or else you'll be waiting forever to find one).

I heard about this place on Yelp, and after looking at all the good reviews there I thought it would live up to the taste. Never before have a ever been so disappointed in boba tea before. I got the Matcha Toffee and Creme Brulee, which was okay. The looks were good, but the taste didn't live up to expectations or the price. I usually like matcha stuff by this was just not up to snuff. It would have been better if it a stronger matcha taste and if the toffee bits were a little smaller. They were big and couldn't be sucked up the straw. The Creme Brulee was definitely better. The boba was pretty good (this being said from a person that doesn't like boba). It is made fresh there so this came out soft and hot. There is also a pudding and sugar that makes it sweet but not too sweet. Although, the goodness of the Creme Brulee milk tea doesn't outway the priceyness or the disappointing taste of the Matcha Toffee. Very likely not...
