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!
