Tea FM

I visited Stonestown one day and discovered they were opening up a new TFM. They have a good variety of different drinks and also displayed 3 different samples for us to try. The lady working there was extremely friendly and offered recommendations. I ordered their brand new drink that didn’t have a name yet, Red Guava and Passion Fruit, and it was extremely refreshing. I recommend getting that or the honeydew one with a long name which was excellent as well. I will definitely come back here for the great service and exceptional drinks.

Definitely better than quicklys. Tastes like real steeped tea, yum! The boba balls tasted sweet and had the texture like gummy bears. Not the best boba I’ve ever had but doesn’t taste horrible.

Tea For Me’s new location inside of Stonestown Galleria is so convenient! Since I am a SFSU student, I could simply walk from my school to get some delicious boba! My favorite drink at Tea For Me is the Pink Panther but with green tea instead of the milk tea.

Jasmine milk tea 80% sweet was still a bit sweet but the next less sweet option was 40%. Guess I’ll try that next time. Honey boba was pleasantly good and chewy. Just a little pricey for milk tea though at $ 3.50 and they don’t carry mini boba which I prefer.

Milk tea with boba for $ 3.5 is honestly not expensive nowadays. The only place you can get tea for that price is probably Tapioca Express or Quickly, but I wouldn’t know since I didn’t order from there for a long time. $ 4 for boba milk tea is average anywhere you go. The only decent place that charges less is Super Cue on Taraval near the other Tea FM location in SF.
I came here expecting the worst given that it’s at mall. Was it amazing? Well, I’ve tasted worst. The milk tea is watered down. The boba was .ehh, chewy. I’ll just say it doesn’t get better than this for $ 3.5. If you’re a SFSU student who’s craving boba and wants something other than Quickly within walking distance, then this is your only other option.
Don’t express freshly brewed tea because it seems like all tea beverages are stored in metal dispensers. I guess they prepare everything in Taraval and deliver here? Hopefully their Taraval and San Jose locations serve better quality drinks.

Since December, I’ve been noticing this booth in the mall, but just saw the letters «TFM.» I had no idea what it was supposed to be until later I saw that there were other locations in SF. Finally back for another semester of school and noticed that this place was open so decided to go with a friend today.
The menu is pretty simple. They have a good amount of choices, but not more than 20 from what I saw. The pictures made every drink look really refreshing, along with a very descriptive description of each drink!
I originally wanted the Rose Garden (Rose & Lychee juice fused Jasmine Green Tea with Lime and Aloe Vera). The kind lady working there was offering samples to someone else and I heard her mention this flavor so I decided to give it a try. It kind of just tasted like those lychee jellos that you can find at the market.
I ended up changing my mind and getting the Peach Heaven. Sounds amazing right? Peach Heaven is «Freshly brewed peach infused Oolong tea topped with fresh creama foam made using Organic Straus Farm Cream with Organic Straus Farm half & half.»
My drink was made pretty quickly. Handed to me and she even handed me a straw. Nice of her. The nice cashier lad earned her stars :)
The drink was not as flavorful as I was expecting. I expected more peach flavor. It kind of just tasted like water with very little peach flavoring. Later I had the creama mix in a little more and it was still just flavored water with some cream in it now. The light flavor made it feel like a really healthy drink, so maybe that’s what they’re aiming for, but I’m not too sure.
I will definitely be back to try some of the other flavors because the descriptions just pull me in. Also it’s in the mall so it’s close by. I just hope the other drinks are packed with a lot more flavor!

Very watered down and service is a little slow. I ordered a rose Garden and the worker didn’t even put like and aloe which is suppose to come with the drink so I told them if they can fix it which they did. I like the tfm better in taraval my friends drinks were watered down and it just taste like flavored water. It’s not as refreshing as I imagined it to be.

Awesome selection Grass Hopper Honey Dew and Ruby Pineapple with popping boba $ 8.50 totally worth it!

This place has sitting in the mall for so long, and I finally found out today what it is. This is a new boba placed called Tea FM or TFM, which stands for Tea For Me. It’s a small stand right by the escalators going up to the second floor of the mall. (not sure about you, but i’m surprised this isn’t a fire hazard) Anyways, today was their soft opening and I know it takes time to improve, They had samples today, so i helped myself. The drinks tasted really refreshing so i gave them a try. I had the Grass Hopper Honey Dew Mojo which was a jasmine green tea with honey dew with lychee jelly. It was pretty fragrant and you can pick your sweetness level. I picked the 40 percent sweet but i still found it a little sweet, until my ice melted. Since it’s their soft opening they don’t have the smoothies yet. There’s currently two people working at the counter so be patient. The drink wasn’t bad, but after the ice melted it tasted more like water. Overall, I would come back and try them again. So far it’s cash only, not sure if that’s going to change, hopefully it will.
