Yin N Yang Gourmet Specialties

The strategy*: me jumping out of the car and ordering two bubble teas at the affordable price of $ 5.50 while my guy drives around the block. He double parks (!!!) for a quick second while I hop in the car with the teas and then fasten my seat belt and off we go! Once around the block usually does the trick.
I like going here because there’s an ENORMOUS variety of bubble tea flavors to choose from. We have tried a bunch of them and they have all been pretty good. Last weekend he got mango and I got chocolate! Delicious! Lots of tasty tapioca! Affordable! What more could a tapioca taster desire?!
.. . oh no I’m getting another bubble tea craving just writing this! So, for the next person that reads this, please go and have a bubble tea in my honor.
*We had to develop «the strategy» as a result of the awful parking situation on the weekends. We have since moved out of the area and it’s only when we have other errands to run in the Richmond that we go back. Well, that and when I wear my partner down by repeating «bubble tea» when he asks me what I’m thinking or what I feel like having :)

I went here for the bubble tea, led by local SFers and a tapioca fanatic. We passed up «the other place» and landed here, a hole-​ish in the wall joint where the old man makes each tea order individually. I had the taro tea (aka UBE, it’s purple and awesome!). Yin n Yang did not disappoint. For $ 2.50 that was damn good, and a lot of tea. I’d already filled up on yummy Burmese food for lunch, so I couldn’t finish it, surprisingly. One day soon I’ll swing by for another dose on my way to Green Apple Books.
