Very small cute place, with no seating area. We found a meter parking spot right in front, but maybe because it was 9pm on a Friday night. We ordered through a kiosk, and I like the non-dairy milk options. There are many unique options, which I really liked. I got the rose milk tea with 50% sweet, and it was perfect. I love the flavor so much that I wished I ordered a second one. My friends all liked their drinks too, except one. Maybe because it was 75 % sweet, which is WAY too sweet. The egg puff was freshly made and hot. Best to eat it right away! We waited until we got home and cold, then it was very disappointing. I will return next time when I'm in sf again.

Assam milk tea (warm) - 4/5, warm and delicious. Boba was perfectly chewy. I got 50% sweet, and it was still really sweet. I will definitely try 25% next time.

A friend and I came by around 11pm and it was one of the few boba places that was still open! The shop is quite easy to spot (look for a giant boba display out front). We found street parking about a block away and walked over. There were only two other customers in the small shop, and it's more of a grab and go situation rather than a sit down and chat one. Since it was quite a chilly evening, I ended up ordering a hot High Mountain Milk Tea at 50% sweetness, and you could choose the temperature of your drink (hot/warm). My friend opted for their Roasted Oolong Tea. My High Mountain Milk Tea was not too sweet, and tea flavor was quite enjoyable! It was really nice to slowly sip (definitely warmed me up). My friend's drink also had a strong tea flavor and seemed enjoyable. Would definitely not be opposed to coming back if I'm ever in the area!

I love all the little sweets! I stopped at this location while in the area for lunch with friends and grabbed my usual from them, STRAWBERRY MANGO SAGO. Highly recommend! The order came out quickly and the self help kiosk was easy to use.

**5 Stars: An Unforgettable Experience at Little Sweet!** I recently visited Little Sweet, conveniently located right next to the Toyota dealership, and from the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm and friendly atmosphere. The giant boba statue in front of the shop is a fun and eye-catching landmark that adds to the charm and makes it easy to find. The menu at Little Sweet is extensive, offering a wide variety of flavors and toppings. I decided to try their White Gourd tea with salted cheese foam, and it was an absolute delight. The tea had a unique and refreshing flavor, perfectly complemented by the rich, savory taste of the salted cheese foam. It was a perfect blend of sweet and salty that left me wanting more. What truly sets Little Sweet apart is their attention to detail and customer service. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate about their drinks, offering great recommendations and ensuring that each drink is made to perfection. They even offer customizable sweetness levels, so you can tailor your drink exactly to your liking. Ordering is a breeze at Little Sweet. You can place your order through the convenient touch screen kiosks in the shop or order online ahead of time. This system makes the process quick and efficient, even during busy times. While there is no seating available as it is a grab-and-go kind of place, the efficient service ensures you get your delicious drink without a long wait. The shop is impeccably clean, and it's clear that the team at Little Sweet takes pride in providing an exceptional experience for every customer. If you're a boba lover or just looking to try something new, I highly recommend Little Sweet. Whether you're waiting for your car at the Toyota dealership next door or just passing by, it's a gem in the city, and I'll definitely be coming back for more!

As my boyfriend and I were looking for a Boba spot on the way to the Golden Gate dog park, we found this particular little place had really good reviews. As we walked in, it's a little spot with hardly any parking in front, but luckily, there was a five minute parking spot that opened up just before the car dealership parking. Lol. They had so many fresh fruit items stored in their display case I decided to get a fruit smoothie. I got the tropical smoothie and my boyfriend got a jasmine milk tea. He really liked how much Boba was in his milk, tea and my fruit smoothie didn't taste over Sugary or sweet. You can order by scanning a QR code, or you can use their touchtone kiosk as the people stand somewhat in the back. They were organizing their new products and getting their new shipment situated since no one was ordering when we got there. After we ordered, it seemed like a bunch of people showed up. Lol, there's not much of a sitting area and they have this interesting open bay window section that I almost walked through thinking it was an odd door but there's an actual door to the far left of the store. On the other side/the left side of this particular Boba spot. There's a delicious pizza place called Nazario. They had one back in Sunnyvale years ago and apparently this is still the original and family owned!! Check out my review for Nazario's pizza also.

Little Sweet is my go-to boba spot in the Inner Richmond. You order via one kiosk inside, and there's pretty much no worker to customer interaction. I've only gotten their milk teas here all at 50% sweet, which have been enjoyable. The tea flavor is distinct, not watered-down. The store is very small, so it's definitely a grab and go boba shop. Love that they're open until 10 or 11 PM on certain days of the week.

We had a sweet time at Little Sweet! My companion suggested grabbing boba here and going on a walk. Now that's my version of bliss! I've been to other Little Sweet locations, and this one similarly, operates as take-out only. You order and pay at the kiosk, wait for your name to be called, and head out. The shop itself is quite small with no seating and awkward standing room. You don't interact with the workers either. We both ordered a drink. I got a Mango Matcha Latte with Oat Milk and Boba and he got a Thai Green Milk Tea with Oat Milk. We were both able to adjust our sweetness and dairy alternatives, though not ice levels. I found the mango matcha to be lacking in some ways--the mango was tart and the matcha wasn't too strong. Though the boba was warm and chewy making it enjoyable. My companion's drink was pretty sweet and florally. He said it tasted like a tootsie roll and after that, I couldn't un-picture it. The drinks here are definitely on the pricier side. For those looking for a boba shop around the city, you've probably come across or heard of Little Sweet. This location off Geary is small and quiet with metered and neighborhood parking around. The variety is quite nice but I will say drinks are pricy and quality can depend on what you get.
