I always appreciate a brand that goes the extra mile for “texture.” The drink was smooth, creamy, and thoughtfully paired with a bonus piece of mystery plastic for that unexpected crunch. Nothing says quality control like a surprise souvenir floating inside your cup. I ordered a beverage, not a limited-edition treasure hunt experience, but here we are. On the bright side, at least I know the ingredients are… adventurous. Five stars for creativity, minus several for basic hygiene.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I stopped by Liliko Boba after visiting a friend who lives nearby. It had been a long, busy day, and I was really craving something refreshing — a mix of coffee, tea, and boba. When I walked in, I was greeted by a kind and welcoming woman. I explained that I was in the mood for something unique, and she said, “I’ll make it special for you.” She crafted a delicious cinnamon coffee-tea blend for me, and I was so excited that I forgot to mention I wanted boba added. When I realized and told her, she didn’t hesitate at all. Even though the drink was already made, she smiled and said, “No problem,” and added the boba right away. Her friendly attitude and great customer service truly made my day. The drink itself was amazing — flavorful, balanced, and just what I needed. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this place not only for their drinks but also for the warm, personal experience.
Amazing place for a refreshing drink! I had the Lychee Mojito and the Horchata, both were incredible and hit the spot. Shout-out to Xio for the recommendation!
Cute boba spot if your in the cow hollow district SF. Lady at the cashier was friendly and helpful to explain boba options. Me and my daughter enjoyed the Thai tea and Sakura Matcha Boba. Love the options of boba, we will definitely revisit soon. ❤️
Stopped by Lilikoi in Burlingame and gotta say, it definitely hit the spot. I was in the mood for something refreshing and a little snacky, and this place came through. I tried the strawberry matcha boba — super pretty and actually really good. The layers were on point: creamy matcha up top, sweet strawberry on the bottom, and chewy boba pearls that had a nice texture. Not overly sweet either, which I liked. You get that earthy matcha flavor with a fruity twist. Solid combo. Food-wise, I went for the spam fried rice, garlic fries, and chicken wings — don’t judge, I was hungry 😅 The spam fried rice was honestly fire. Comfort food vibes, perfectly seasoned, and the spam was cut just right — crispy edges, not too salty. The garlic fries were loaded (in a good way) with garlic and crispy all the way through. And the wings? Crunchy outside, juicy inside, and full of flavor. Kinda addicting, not gonna lie. The place itself is cute and laid-back, and everything came out pretty quick. Perfect little spot if you’re craving a good drink and some comfort bites. Will definitely be back.
