Teaz Me

YUMMY! Oh Teaz Me, you do tease me when all I want is a frost boba and you are closed… stop teasing me already…
So I’ve had almost every freeze on the menu, and they are delicious!!! The black cherry is a favorite, add the boba!!!
The freezes are kinda thick, I wouldn’t order one again…
the staff always seem unhappy to be working, but I still love this place

A friend recommended me this place, so I though I’d try it out. I’ve always had a good experience with the quality. I honestly never notice how good or bad the customer service was though. I guess I was too concerned with trying something new.
My opinions of the drinks, by category:
Frost — very thick; get tired of it near the middle; get full from it too
Freeze — really good, looking like your typical icee/​slush
Iced — taste like sweetened juice; note: if you get the ones w/​o sugar, it’s gonna taste very bland
Sparking — I’d prefer carbonated sodas than this
Overall, TeazMe has a variety of flavors but overpriced. I loved the Frosty Peach Freeze!

the first few times i came here… the drinks were so yummy. that was back when the new remodeled part of the mall opened up. i’m sorry to say that my most recent visit wasn’t a good one. what happened? the hype died down and so did the drinks…
i will probably come back if i am really craving some tea but i won’t go out of my way like i used to.

Citrus Mélange Ice Tea: A++
Lemon Mint Sugar Free Ice Tea: A–
Price: C–
$ 3 for an ice team sorta makes the baby jesus cry.

This was new to me. I asked one of the staff people what is the most ordered item on the menu and he suprised me with a pink tea drink and said that it’s sweet but everyone orders it. I liked it althought it wasn’t as sweet as I expected it to be. Maybe thats because of my sweet tooth. I think I’ll need to go back and try it a few more times before I give a solid Good or No Good until then 3 stars for «its aiight».

I’m not going to lie, when I saw the name Teaz Me on the directory at the mall I had to find it. Back in the day when I was young and boy were sweet on me for a hot second I had a nickname, a nickname my bestest buddy in the whole wide world gave me and I loved it. See my bestest buddy in the whole wide world and I use to hit the clubs in TJ (it’s ok you can laugh) when we were youngins’ and dance the night away, he’d watch me work the boys over for free drinks and roses and decided my name was no longer Mitzie it was Ms. Teaz. Get it Mitzie, Ms. Teaz!!! Bwah ha ha ha
OK so I head down to the food court and find Teaz Me, oh look pomegranate lemonade tea that’s what I want. Oh no this register is closed so I move to the next one but no one is around. I wait, I tap my fingers on the counter, I wait some more and finally someone appears out of no where. One pomegranate lemonade please, I get $ 3.25 grunted at me. I pay and receive the surliest of service from someone who was not happy to be working at Teaz Me but the pomegranate lemonade tea was refreshing and so good I went back the next day for one more Teaz Me tea before I left town.
Service 1 star for both days
Tea 4 stars for both days

Its good to have a place with boba in this area. This is a bit different, more like a western tea/​juice place that has tapioca too. Mine tasted fine, i had a soy chai with pearls. But it’s $ 5.05. Seems steep. I look at my receipt. 50 for boba, that’s ok. 40 for tax, makes sense. But 50 for soy milk instead of cow’s milk? What is this, 2001? Soy milk is not like some luxo version of cow boob juice. I doubt a full glass of the soy doesn’t cost them that much, and they’re replacing, not adding! Totally not worth it to me.

First, let me say that the staff is very sweet and friendly.
However, this is not bubble, boba, pearl tea. My friend and I were sorely disappointed because we were basically served lemonade and a sickly sweet milk shake with pearls.
If you want boba/​milka tea, do not go here. Go to Out the Door expensive but authentic milk tea.
Seriously, I could not finish my drink… it was like drinking beard papa through a straw.

I actually liked Teaz Me, and I say «actually» because I usually am skeptical about tea places with non-​traditional types of tea drinks. So the reason why I chose to come to Teaz Me was because last Sunday, my boyfriend and I were just walking and shopping around the Union Square area. Last Sunday, it was over 80 degrees. yes, over 80 degrees in san francisco in april. So, by the time we had walked around the Westfield mall, I was sooooo thirsty.
I had always wanted to try out Teaz Me, so I decided to give it a shot. I love the cute décor of this place, and the service was good when I came. I ordered the Pom Pom Punch, which was a combination of Pomegranate Tea and some other fruit juices, and carbonated water. I loved the combination of tea and carbonation, it was like a Tea flavored soda… (reminded me of one of my favorite bottled drinks — Izze). Overall, fun tea place, but it is pricey.

Whoo Hoo! Chico in the Mutha F**k*ng HOUSE!!! (or mall)
So, this place originated in Chico, Ca and finally made it’s way down to good ol’ San Francisco. And thank god it did cause this place deserves to be a successful franchise.
When I attended Chico State I used to want to work here so I could stuff my face with vegan Frost Me’s and gourmet ice tea. But, I graduated and moved on. But, luckily Teaz Me followed me back to the Bay.
Everything on the menu that sounds good is good. If you don’t think you would like it, go for something you think you would. I guarantee you will love what you ordered.
Also… and this is important… the Frost Me’s, which are essentially tasty blended milkshakes made with fruit and tea, are all VEGAN! Yup, all of them. So, do indulge and feel normal again my fellow vegan buddies!
My favorites are:
Frost Me Chocolate Chai
Frost Me Blueberry Cream
The Ginger Pear Stir Me (it is either Stir Me or Shake Me, but who cares, do both to me :)
OH, and I do not care what all the others say below me! $ 3-​$ 4 for a drink is no more than what you would pay at Starbucks (hence the nick-​name «Four-​bucks») for a Chai or a blended shake. And trust me, this place has much better shakes and chai’s than anywhere else for that price. So stop penny pinching and go!

So after time and time of passing this place I finally gave it a shot. I initially was attracted by the nicely designed art around the Teaz Me logo. brightly painted fruits with polka dots!
I ventured in the line seeking for something refreshing. They offer blended teas, fruit blended drinks, coffee, and tea. I believe you can add tapioca too. If you enjoy sweet drinks I suggest the blended drinks. I had the pomerita (Pomegranate, Green Tea, & I think lime?)…it was quit refreshing and sweet. They even throw a piece of lime on top and a dome lid, which I couldn’t figure out if they were just out of regular lids. I happily placed my lovely green straw in my drink & sipped away. Ahhhh cold & refreshing. Great on a warm day. As for the teaZ, I have yet to try em.
Service wasn’t bad. She helped me right away, considering there wasn’t really a line. The lady was nice enough to suggest a few teas and described a few since I had not been there before. Took a slight bit longer since there was only one person making drinks, but nothing really to complain about.
So average drinks, and a refreshing feeling walking out. Doesn’t sound like too much of a teaz to me! :)

Bad Pun Alert #1:
Mahatma Gandhi walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail, and with his odd diet, well, he also suffered from bad breath. Yes, he was a great leader for the ages, but Gandhi was also a… super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
Bad Pun Alert #2:
Teaz Me.
The coy name aside, they certainly have a robust selection of beverages here… and it’s all about tea, nothing but tea. hot, cold, frosted, frozen, sparkling, brewed, pearl, decaf, iced, steamed, shooters… tea, tea, tea. The Westfield Shopping Centre does seem like the ideal locale for this elaborate tea stand (which actually looks more like a juice place with all the tropical colors)…because you have a lot of people milling about looking for direction. A fine cup of tea can provide that clarity… yeah, right.
On a rainy afternoon waiting on a friend, I tried a steamed Mocha Chai, rather overpriced at $ 3.65. Tasty enough, but I kept thinking how I should have gone to Blue Bottle across the street for a $ 3.50 latte. On a brighter day, I went for the $ 2.95 Blueberry Blast iced tea. It was just too puckery sweet. Perhaps among the dozens of tea drinks they offer, I will find that one perfect drink to match my mood. I’m not sure I’ll have the patience. Perhaps I should just stay home and put my secondhand Celestial Seasonings teabag into my chipped Garfield mug.
TEA — 3 stars… tea for every mood in your life… a scary thought especially at their steep prices… steep, get it? :-)
AMBIANCE — 3 stars… hey, it’s Jamba Juice on the phone, they’re looking for their signage
SERVICE — 3.5 stars… courteous though their concoctions take time
TOTAL — 3 stars… when the world becomes one big soggy teabag, then it’s time to throw it out, don’t you think?

At first I thought I was just hallucinating from the horrible fever I was trying to fight off… but, no, the cup really had some slogan like «The more you TEAZ the more you want Teaz.»
Huh? What? That makes no sense.
Then again it didn’t really make much sense to pay almost $ 4 for a soy chai, but what are you gonna do when you’re a little lonely sicky stranded in the middle of San Francisco?

I guess it’s almost unfair to hear the opinion of someone who is obsessed with tapioca milk tea and holds every boba shop to the standard Wonderful Foods on Irving has to offer. Teaz Me might be someone else’s favorite, or obsession, but for me, it was just bad value.
The closest they have to the regular tapioca milk tea is black tea with vanilla with pearls. That’s $ 4.5! I can almost get two of those at Wonderful Foods. Yes, the cup is bigger. And the pearls are chewy. And the tea, although a bit mild, tastes creamy and smooth. But $ 4.5! For a beverage?
And I understand that it’s the Food Emporium and $ 3 from that $ 4.5 probably goes toward rent, but still, I am in SF. If I can walk/​drive/​run somewhere and get cheaper and equally good or better tapioca milk tea, I just can’t think of any reason why I’d come back.
Also, if you look at it as more of a fancy fruit smoothie type of place, even Jamba Juice isn’t this expensive!

I definitely felt more like I was having a shake than a tea but it was still refreshing nonetheless. Had the strawberry and almond. Thing was so thickly blended I watched a good amount of the movie I took it to at the theatre upstairs. Glad I found it and I think it might be my goto beverage retailer before the movies.

im not really a coffee or tea tea person.
so i tried out the pom pom punch.
its not exactly tea. but its more of an italian soda flavored type drink.
with some blackberry parts in it.
i love it.
it never ceases to fail me each time i have it.
but.
i dont suggest the .
i dont recall the name of it.
something with lemonade and tea in it is all i remember.
it was not good at all.
ehh.
i guess u just have to kno wut to order.

Tea Bar and Fusion Café — «A completely new kind of tea establishment that understands the wonders of tea and all that it has to offer; refreshment, zest, healthfulness… and last but not least, fun!»
Refreshing alternative to coffee. I absolutely love their beverage menu and watching the bartenders at work at the Tea Bar!

«OOOOHH! IT’S SO BIG AND WARM!»
My friend has a way with words. She quickly claimed that she was referring to the size and temperature of our chai drinks. (The lady doth protest too much, methinks.)
The steamed chai drinks here *were* pretty tasty. We tried several of them including the Mocha Chai and Apple Cider Chai. They can even make them sans caffeine. Add a healthy dollop of girl talk and your chai drink will be off the tea-​zy!

$ 3.20 for sugar free iced tea!!!
Disgusting.
There’s food, and 5 other categories of tea, I’ll be back to sample more.

This is Teaz Me’s 2^nd location and is located inside the brand new Westfield SF Centre Food Court located on Market St. between 4^th and 5^th St. I went here during my Thanksgiving break. After some early Xmas shopping I went to the lower level of the food court and was drawn to Teaz Me. Maybe it’s the name?
If a cup of joe won’t jump start your day, why not some hot tea or even iced tea. Here, you’ll find a great selection of creative combinations of tea drinks. They’re menu is very extensive. I had the Strawberry Pomegranate Iced Tea. It was their most popular choice and I could see why. It tasted a little tart, but the the combination with the pomegranate really was unbelievable.
Prices run from $ 1.50 to $ 3.25 on their range of teas. I have don’t have any reviews on the food they serve there, but maybe next time.
