Virtual Teakup is a boba food truck located inside SPARK Social SF. They have some really interesting and unique drinks that I haven't seen anywhere else and they serve them out of a super cute trailer that makes for a great picture background. Spark Social with it's multiple food trucks, ample picnic tables, and music is also a fun atmosphere to enjoy boba with friends and grab food to go with it.
I tried 3 drinks and my favorite was definitely the Creme Brulee. It's a jasmine milk tea with creme brûlée pudding at the bottom and a bruleed top. It's sweet, creamy, and absolutely delicious. It doesn't have a lot of tea flavor though, which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you like.
My next favorite was the Cloud 9. It's a milk-based drink without any tea, but it's still flavorful. It's milk, watermelon syrup, butterfly pea flower tea, and boba topped with crema and cotton candy. It's super sweet and definitely for those with a sweet tooth. The boba came out hot and a good consistency, just a little on the chewy side.
The Cheesecake Spundae was the last drink I tried, and it was probably my least favorite, although it was still good. It's a jasmine milk tea with mixed berries, cheesecake pieces, and topped with crema. The berry and cheesecake flavor just didn't come out very strongly for me, so I'll probably stick to the other drinks.
Also, even though they were busy on a Sunday afternoon when I went, the staff was still really nice and the drinks came out...

It felt like I was drinking a cup of overpriced disappointment. Speaking of overpriced, it cost almost $8 for this subpar experience. For that price, I expected at least some taste! I definitely don't recommend this placeâavoid it if you can. There are far better options out there. Save your money and...
   Read moreI'm all for tipping service workers but I'm really not into it with a self serve kiosk where an employee never even greets or interacts with me? I didn't even get a hello and the lady inside was visibly chilling in her phone instead of making my drinks... There's no one to ask for recommendations or info on drinks so they just expect you to know exactly how to order what you want and never interact with them and then tip for...
