Tea FM

Mad decent! Haven’t had a bad drink from here yet! I like requesting less sweetness, and when I do, the drinks always come out how I expect them to taste. The tea is well brewed, and their special drinks are so good and one of a kind! Place is never too busy and there are of course board games to play with (although I think they’re the same ones that Craftea had and has gotten really grimy.)

Had the passion fruit green tea with boba it was delicious and very refreshing. Customer service was excellent love the sweet girls that works there Kaitlyn and Emberly!

Most drinks are pretty good in my opinion. Above average, but the sunset, such Passion Fruit and Guava goodness mixed with Lychee Jelly. That’s by far my favorite.
Sometimes depending on who’s making the drinks, the sweetness level changes, so that’s kind of annoying. Other than that, pretty solid place. I regularly frequent it. I would recommend The Sunset.

Probably one of the biggest disappointments I’ve encountered with milk tea. My lavender milk tea tasted and looked like REGULAR black milk tea…
The service was slow and the drinks tasted nothing more than average, if not bad.

Tea for you, tea for me!!!
I’ve come here a few times now and finally figured out my regular drink. I like the pink panther, with 80% sweet and boba! The pink panther is described as a peach, mango and strawberry creamy tea. Honestly it’s still a bit sweet for me at 80%, but the next level down is 40% sweet, which seems like too little for my taste haha.
I’ve also tried a two flavor green tea (guava and peach) and peach green tea. Both are super sweet as well! However once I got peach GT with 80% sweet for my bf and it tasted like STRAIGHT UP green tea… Not sure what the measurement of sugar is here, but it’s a bit inconsistent haha. Maybe try your drink before you leave so they can adjust it if you don’t like it!

I always get the pink panther with crystal boba. The drink can be sweet at regular sweetness so you might want to lower it. The servers are pretty helpful and informative.
Another great thing is that they always have samples of concoctions that are new and not on the menu!

Came here a couple of times. They don’t have snacks except recently their offering a cheesecake. I was craving some popcorn chicken but they didn’t have any as we called ahead of time. Every time I come I ask for ice green tea and people seem to not understand what it is… I mean it’s just iced green tea. I get plenty of questions on it, but I asked for 40% sugar which was GREAT and perfect. They have no sugar, 40% and goes up until 120%. For me I feel like this place is more sugary than most. They also take five star here, if you ave 3 pt, you get a free topping. My bf got some Ruby red drink and he said it tasted like medicine. I like how they have games here and the place is pretty intimate. I recommend this place for a casual first date or something to play a game and get to know each other. Great service, very fast, we paid and basically got our drink right there.

Came to try this place out since it’s pretty new and I’m always down to try new boba places. I wasn’t to sure what to order but Sam (I think that’s his name) suggested the pink panther to me. I gave it a try and it was really good actually. I asked for extra sweetness and lite ice and that’s exactly what I got. It wasn’t too sweet where I couldn’t drink it, which is perfect. The boba was really soft and chewy. Everything tasted fresh.
The store was clean, many seats, and nice decorations (Polaroids are nice lol).

Oh god, I’ve never encountered such horrible milk tea until I stepped in here. Initially I thought maybe I ordered the wrong thing the first time but even the 2^nd time I came it was even worse.
I initially tried the lavender milk tea and I was surprised by how fast it came out. I had just finished ordering and it was ready. Quick service which is a plus but the taste of the drink is what really matters. I received a bland and watery milk tea. First it had no lavender or tea flavor and it tasted like water. The boba was soft and chewy but that still doesn’t make up for the bland drink. The 2^nd drink I got another time was the pink panther because my friend raved about it. I got that and well it was the same as the first drink. Bland and watery, it’s suppose to be strawberry milk tea. No taste of strawberry or tea at all, it was pink in color though. Both drinks were automatic toss out after the first sip. People say quickly is terrible, but this place is actually worse than quickly in terms of their drink tastes.
Not sure if it’s a location thing but I haven’t tried the stonestown location it might be better since there’s so many more customers there.
Never coming back to this location in the future. I’m better off with the boba spots in the Richmond district instead!
Total for 1: $ 4.50

I miss craft tea, but Tea FM is a great replacement with a wider selection of toppings and flavors.
Top 3 Flavors:
*Pink Panther: Strawberry milk tea, but not as creamy as many other milk teas
*Rose Garden: Lychee and rose tea with aloe. Holy shit this is the heaven of tea combos!
*Grasshopper Honey Dew Mojo: very subtle honeydew flavor, but you can seriously taste the freshness of the tea!
Fun Notes:
~You can choose your level of sweetness by percentages. 30 percent is a little bland tasting so I suggest 50 or more if you want sweet.
~Their cards are absolutely dirty and wish they can replace them, but I found a cleaner game that’s great in big groups: Find 4 different cities on the wall with an incorrect spelling. lol. Trust me you’ll find them!

This place was just alright to me. Maybe I should’ve ordered a milk tea so I could really compare their milk tea to other places. Anyways, I got their Rose garden which is a lychee and rose tea with lime & aloe. Refreshing but a bit too sweet for me, should’ve made it less sweet, oh well.
Really friendly service. The girl at the cash register was nice to let us eat our outside food inside Tea FM.
They have a lot of indoor table seating with a lot of board games your friends can play if you’re trying to pass time. My friends and I literally sat there for an hour eating our outside food not from Tea FM, catching up, and watching the top 40 music videos that were steaming/​playing LOL.
A chill spot to be at for a boba place with seating and a good variety of teas!

Came to the mall, craved for a fruity but slightly bitter tea, tried this place out and this is now my go-​to mt place in the mall!
The wait for the drink took a while but that’s cause there was only two workers but aside from that, everything was good. The drink I ordered was called «rose garden» and it’s something different than what I usually get. It contains rose essence and lychee juice fused with jasmine green tea with lime and aloe vera. I had to ask for 50% sweetness because I was needing a strong hit of caffeine. The drink was refreshing and tasted real good.
What I love about this place is that the menu is different than any other ordinary mt joint. Their menu has a wide variety of choices.
Overall, the place was great. Definitely keeping this place in mind when I’m shopping here.

This is our second time coming here and overall its not bad, they’re welcoming and they have a great deal going on right now $ 2.99 for any of their teas or milk teas and a topping, pretty sweet deal.
I ended up having also a five star deal that was a buy one get one so for $ 2.99 I got two, say whaaa??? Yup. I got the pink lady milk with boba and pudding and my fiancé got the peach oloong tea with kiwi flavor. My milk tea was nothing to brag about, however it was good, they were skimpy on their toppings however for $ 2.99 I can’t complain. My fiancé seemed to like their flavored tea.
So far this place has great value, and if you purchase 7 bubble teas your next tea is on them. I’m definitely coming back, you really can’t go wrong with $ 3 boba, btw the boba itself it’s not bad, definitely better than tj.

Tea FM a.k.a. Tea For Me came highly recommended by a lot of the locals in the area so I decided to give them a shot.
I was in the mood for something light and refreshing so I decided upon Rose Garden as my drink of choice. If you don’t enjoy the flavor of rose water, they have an array of other tea flavors. They were able to get our drinks out fast!
There is indoor seating so if you wanted to study or if you are hanging out with friends then they also have games for you to play.
There is just street parking so it may be hard to find sometimes but we found a stall easily.

Was sad to see Craftea gone, but TFM is quite decent.
If you are ordering the Peach Haven, don’t minimize the sweetness. I thought it tasted bland when I got it down to 50%. However, for the Rose Garden, 80% sweetness was just perfect. The teas do taste fresh which I love!
Parking is frustrating here. It’s nice that they have a multitude of board games so you can chill with friends for hours. Their reward system is nice too, as they use FiveStars, which the Sharetea in Metreon also uses as well. If I’m with friends in the city, we will most likely come here as the parking situation and car/​people traffic is better than at the Metreon. 4 solid stars!

As everyone has mentioned, Tea FM (aka Tea for me) replaced Craftea. At least they kept their games! They have Monopoly, Monopoly deal, Jenga, playing cards, Uno, etc. Check in for 2 free toppings!
Came here in the evening and the place was empty, maybe except for 2 – 3 people who came in and out. If you can’t decide what to drink, they have 2 free samples on the counter. I tried their special Grasshopper Honeydew and it was good! It had a really refreshing honeydew taste and just the right amount of sweetness. Got a cup of that good stuff and it comes with lychee topping yay! I really liked my drink here and would definitely get it again. I think it’s this month’s special? Not sure if they will regularly sell or maybe they meant it’s a new menu item. I also tried my friend’s Rose Garden and it was refreshing as well. There wasn’t a heavy rose water taste nor lots of sugar, which is a good thing.
Will definitely be back here for that honeydew drink and maybe to stick around to play more games!

Craftea is gone now, but Tea FM is a good replacement!
One of my favorite things about Tea FM is the seating area! There’s plenty of seats for small parties and there’s even small board games!
Oooh the drinks! I’m glad to see that Tea FM takes after Craftea in that they craft very interesting fruit tea drinks, such as Rose Garden and Peach Heaven. I really want to try every drink!
I tried the Rose Garden, which is Rose & Lychee juice fused jasmine green tea with fresh lime & Aloe Vera. It’s a very refreshing drink, however I wish I could taste a little more of the rose, jasmine, and lime. The lychee flavor is quite strong so it overpowered the rest of the flavors, but I can’t deny that it was a good drink! It’s a sweet treat and the aloe gives a nice texture.
I’m coming back to try the other drinks next time!

Today is last day of their Labor Day $ 2 speciality drinks sale. I am not a tea drink fan due to a bad experience of almost choking on one of their damn black giant pearl balls at Quickly, but that’s another story.
Any Who, I like their menu which was why I came in and it is 92 degrees in SF right now and I needed to cool off after spending a day in the park. Very hard to decide what type of drinks to order because they all sounded good. I decided to go with the Rudy Pineapple which consists of House special Raspberry ice tea topped with pineapple purée and I added grass jelly. It also came with slices of lime inside the drink which was a nice surprise and had 80% sugar. Flavor to me was nice and pleasant. I would like to return to try their milk tea, Jaded lime and Rose Garden. I would like to try my hand at making my own drink as well and try the snow ice once they get more settled in this new establishment. All in all good addition to the neighborhood to give some competition to Super Cue.

TFM is a new tea spot that replaced Craftea. They’re still in their soft opening stage so the snow ice and hot drinks aren’t available yet.
We were greeted right away when we walked in. Their menu isn’t as extensive as some of the other places, but I must’ve had an overwhelmed look on my face cause one of the worker’s asked if it was my first time visiting. I told him yes and he quickly offered me two of their samples by the register. I sampled Jaded Lime and their House Special Milk Tea both at regular sweetness. The Jaded Lime was refreshing, but didn’t appeal to me.
As I’m a big fan of Super Cue’s Osmanthus Milk Tea, I decided to try TFM’s Blossom Cloud, which is their version of the Osmanthus tea. I added the crystal boba and wish I didn’t waste the $ 0.50 as the boba tasted sour. «A» ordered Peach Heaven. We came in with low expectations after reading some reviews. We were disappointed with our drinks because the tea was bland and watered down.
Sorry to say TFM, but your tea is not for me!

TFM stands for «Tea For Me», but it should also stand for «Tea Freshly Made»!
I came here for its soft opening and tried two free samples — Rose Garden (rose and lychee) and the House Special Milk Tea. You can choose the sweetness level of your tea (0%, 40%, 80%, 100%, or 120%). I was surprised how refreshing they both tasted. I particularly liked the Rose Garden more for its sweet lychee taste.
I ordered the Taro & Taro, which included taro chunks. I was expecting the chunks to be huge, but they ended up being small and subtle (more of my preference). Again, I was surprised how refreshing the drink tasted and the sweetness level was perfect. This is probably my favorite place to get Taro Milk Tea.
The service is quick with friendly and helpful staff. Its ambiance has a clean, simple, yet vibrant look — a comfortable place to relax with your friends or catch up. They have board games now, just like Craftea!
I can’t wait until their menu expands. It seems like they have promising drinks with a variety of options to choose from. I will definitely come back and try more of them!
