TeaWay - San Francisco

• location:
  
• Irving St. in the Sunset District, San Francisco (Northern California)
  
• price range:
  
• $1.99-$2.75 (teas) *special price of $1.99 for grand openning*
  
• $2.75-$4.00 (snows/slushes/specialty drinks)
• boba "chewy-ness" quality:
  
• 3 out of 5 <- the boba here was rather hard; not exactly as chewy as quickly's
• milk vs. tea:
  
• more milkly/slight tea-ish <-tea is rather diluted, but you can taste a TINY hint of tea
• overall service quality:
  
• 3.5 out of 5 <- service is great when there's no lines; there's only one working in the store (like quickly's) ; more importantly, you can decide what toppings you want on your own like frozen yogurt places.
• what's so special about this place?
• its cheap, fast, and SELF SERVE drink toppings (yes, you choose as much variety as you want; there's a cap on how much but the worker is quite flexible)
  
• recommended drinks/specialties: i heard their popcorn chicken is great. you can definitely try their mango popping boba and lychee popping boba (they're more like tadpoles than boba balls) which have quite interesting textures
• personal note: this is probably one of the first places to have self-serve toppings for drinks. definitely take advantage of it, but personally, mixing jellies and boba isn't my cup of tea (and i tried this myself x.X)

(my two friends who came along w/ me for the TeaWay adventure. i think they loved it, dont you?! =D)
