Boba Guys (San Francisco) – Horchata Boba and Thai Milk Tea

July 29, 2015March 2, 2016 admin 0 Comments san francisco

One of the districts Rae and I wanted to visit while in San Fran was the Mission District. It’s an area decorated with murals and street art, delicious authentic Mexican taquerias, and hipster apothecary and taxidermy shops.

On our way I noticed a lot of people passing us were drinking bubble tea. They all seemed to have bought it from the same place, so I searched up the bubble tea place closest to where we were walking. Turns out, the ridiculously famous bubble tea shop called Boba Guys was right around the corner!

Unlike a lot of bubble tea places where you can choose from 50 different flavours and customize everything and anything, they have a set menu in place with only a few topping/milk/sweetness options. The Horchata Boba and Thai Tea TOTALLY caught my eye.

The Horchata Boba (left) was a tad sweet for Rae’s liking. I’d suggest getting it with 50% sweetness if you want the drink to be more refreshing than rich. On the other hand, I absolutely loved the Thai Tea (right). It was my first time trying authentic Thai Milk Tea and I am now a fan.

I hear it’s really hard to make Thai tea because it includes ingredients like Ceylon tea, star anise, condensed milk, tamarind seed, and orange blossom water. It’s something I’ll never attempt to try at home so I wish Boba Guys would make its way to Vancouver because I promise I’ll keep coming back for more!
