    I love Purple Kow!!! I've been getting their drinks since I was in elementary school and I'm in college now! I always go here whenever I'm in the Richmond district. The employees are always so nice. I like to ask for recommendations from them and they never dissapoint. One of them recommended the High Mountain Oolong Crema and I think that's my personal favourite now. There is a good amount of seating on the inside and prices aren't too bad. The drinks are always great and they are very consistent. The mozzarella sticks are also great. When you pair it with the ranch, it's really amazing. Their ranch is pretty good. Their drinks always taste so fresh and their toppings are great. I usually get aloe vera or jelly. I really love this place and the overall atmosphere. I hope to go back soon!

    Super solid boba spot. Consistent. Friendly. Efficient. Cute space. Can get busy on the weekends, I recommend ordering online for pick up! I've had several of their bobas and all were delicious. It's always a quick and easy treat for me.

    I feel like if you are out in the Outer Richmond walking around, this is the place you end up going to. Walking around and I'm like, I'm thirsty, let's get some boba drinks from Purple Kow. Their portions are massive. It looks more like soup containers than boba drinks. I guess it's good for sharing? I mostly get tea drinks so it works out for me, but their drinks tend to be too sweet, so I mostly opt for no sugar. Ambiance is nice as they have a nice chairs for sitting, but they can be a tad slow sometimes. Located on Balboa St. between 37th and 38th Ave; next door to the Balboa Theater.

    Got the Moo Moo which was advertised as a slushy but wasn't very slushy-like. Had to wait a long time too but granted, they were very busy that night - so many people! Very popular in the area. Many menu offerings. Boba was well-cooked and the taro flavor was nice. Considering that there are many other places to try in the city I wouldn't jump at the opportunity to come back here, but it is a solid spot for boba. I heard their food is pretty good too. My rating is 3.6 stars
