Spillin’ the Tea: Milk Tea Lab

Rose Baik ’26, Staff Reporter

I went to a bubble tea store in South San Francisco called Milk Tea Lab. As I went into the store, the interior design was like a chemistry lab. There were colorful beakers and test tubes, along with a huge periodic table, but instead of having elements in the rows, there was the menu, listed like they were elements. I found that to be a creative way of displaying their drinks.

I eventually ordered a mango milk tea with mango stars and honey boba. The drink was $5 and it tasted great because it was freshly made. It was sweet, cold, and I could really taste the mango flavor. The honey boba and mango stars were bursting with flavor and was the perfect combination to put into this mango milk tea.

Something I like about this store is that you can “create your own drink.” There are many toppings you can choose from, like grass jelly and egg pudding, and you can mix and match them however you like it. I rate this drink 5 out of 5 mango stars.

I definitely recommend getting this drink, but if you do not like mango, you have a ton of other options, like lychee milk tea, matcha milk tea, cupid tonic, and a lot more! So, the next time you are in South San Francisco, or Irving street in SF, make sure to stop by Milk Tea Lab to get a satisfactory beverage!
