    Don't know why I haven't been here sooner, but just recently discovered this place a few months ago. Teas are always good. My go to is crime of passion, but I do need to ask for either half sugar or no sugar cause it tends to be a little too sweet for me. Service is always good and drinks come out quickly. I see students here all the time studying or hanging out so good spot for that.

    Iced Honey Milk Tea, 75% sweet with brown sugar boba and grass jelly. Peach mango green tea 100% sweet with lychee jelly and mango bits.

    Parking lot had a good amount of spaces available even though it was a shared lot. We came around 6:15pm and they weren't busy at all. People started to file in when it was 6:40pm or so! If you are with the reward program make sure you input your number before you pay-- that way if you have any redeemable points you can put them to use! The place had AC which is great for a hot day. And if you want a spot to relax further. You do need a key for the bathroom, they give you one with a rice paddle attached. Reminds me of high school. Just wanted to also mention that the wall near where we sat had some boba splatters at the trim and milk tea drippings. Not sure how long ago the boba has been there, but it would make the space more inviting to sit at if it were clean. Attached a pic! The difference between cup sizes is only 50cents! Get that larger size! I remembered that the brown sugar boba was on the sweeter side so I lowered the amount of sweetness for my drink but I think I could have even went to 25% rather than 50%! I was with my friend so we got: - Lotus Milk Tea, 50% sweet, with Brown Sugar Boba: The lotus milk tea has a delicate and mellow floral taste. They give lots of brown sugar boba which gives it a delicious sweetness, that may slightly overtake the flavor of lotus. But this is one of A Tea 7's most popular drink according to one of the workers. It's a definite must try if you want something new. - Roasted Oolong Milk Tea, 50% sweet, with Grass Jelly: I think I am trying to convince myself I'm a roasted oolong milk tea fan but it's just not for me. Or perhaps if it was 75% sweetened rather than 50%. The grass jelly was light and refreshing, no need to chew -- just swallow. The roasted flavor lowkey reminded me of seaweed or a savory note. Next time I'd go for the honey milk tea! I like this spot for the variety of drinks (they do not just have milk tea but fruit tea and fresh milks). And the multiple choices of toppings!

    Cookie Monster - yum!

    First impression was good. Opted for the Cookie Monster which had a mixture of tiger and Oreo cookies. So much flavor! I ordered 75% sweet which was a smart choice; I can't imagine how sweet 100% is. Service was super nice from each employee.

    perfect tapioca pearls, not too hard to chew, and drinks were smooth!! I also got a pretzel, which was freshly made - warm and tasty! there is a parking lot but we had to park on the street due to road work - it looks like there were empty spots though! service was lovely, lady checked in with us. cute interior too. goated spot fr

    Beautiful and interesting new years nod.

    We were initially the only people in the store, then one more after nearing their closing time. The cashier, helpful and answered all our questions. The ambiance is cute, they've got a shrine in the front. See photos. The drink, I must say was fabulous and pretty sweet. I had some of my hubby's drink. He ordered a crème brûlée (Creamsicle) with sub almond milk. Even the brown sugar boba was soft and not chewy like they can get at other places. We were happy to find this place and will go again.

    A 7 TEA! This place was listed for a pretty high rating and I was super excited to see how this will turn out! It was just about a 10 minute drive from San Diego State! Parking can be a hassle, it's in a small lot but shared with other stores too, so it can get crowded. The service took a bit, the server didn't come to us until after a couple minutes or so, and then we go out drinks! I decided to get the lychee green tea with boba, and my friend got the winter melon boba, with a total of $14. Not too pricey, but the quality wasn't the greatest. Boba was overcooked, the steaming of the tea was as well, and it had a very distinct taste in both of our drinks, kind of like a bitterness despite getting full sugar. Service itself was fast after ordering, we sat and got out drinks almost 3-4 minutes, and they had lots of decor, games, and I enjoy the new year's decoration! I'd recommend stopping by to give this place a try, but the quality should definitely be worked on.

    Jasmine green milk tea and Bijou (hibiscus and kumquat iced tea with lychee and mango jelly).

    A Tea 7 is the Best place to get boba milk tea in SD! Love all their special-tea drinks, especially the under the weather and bijou!! Please come check them out when you can and treat yourself to some bomb boba!! You deserve it!

    My favorite boba spot! Drinks are on point. Have been coming here for years and the drinks are consistently good. My favorite drink is the hidden dragon (a dragonfruit drink). The service was nice and fast. Chill place, i see people come and study or play board games.

    An inviting setting with comfortable seating, nice ambiance and pleasant decor along with all the important selection and options of tea, coffee and flavored drinks. Very kind patient and friendly staff, who are willing to go over every component of every drink to ensure you get exactly what you're aiming for. The only caveat I had is that the selection of decaffeinated drinks for adults was almost non existent. I was hoping for an elevated tea beverage later in the day that is more on the healthy side without the caffeine, not just a sweetened flavored drink. something to think about :) overall the drink we got were really good and love that you can choose the sweetness level.

    soooo good. we stumbled upon this place after a dinner date, the place was poppin! It was busy and saw it had good reviews (after the fact). I played it safe with a Thai tea and it was super good. I definitely have this spot saved for when I'm in the area again!

    Sinking Violet - a smooth, heavenly blend of Ube and matcha (without added sugar cuz already enough sugar in boba lol). Rich and refreshing way to end a long day in SD! Waiter was kind enough to help me decide between this one and the heavier/chunkier Taro King.

    The very first time we came here, the cups were sealed with some very thin plastic that broke and spilled our drinks all over ourselves and our car :( I'm glad they've now changed their cups and lids to something sturdier and less accident-prone. The drinks themselves are good and their brown sugar boba is very soft and sweet. The regular boba was harder and not as tasty so definitely opt for brown sugar boba when you can. For some reason all of their crème brûlée and sea salt foam has a hint of coconut milk flavor. I'm very sensitive to flavor so the combination of the coconut milk with my jasmine tea ended up tasting like Gorgonzola (blue cheese). I'm also not a fan of coconut milk in everything, which is why this time I opted for the only scenario where it makes sense: taro & Ube. There was so much good taro paste in this drink. $15 for 2 drinks is a bit pricey compared to other milk tea boba shops, but this is a luxury food. Service was always friendly each time we came. Parking is available in the small parking lot or on the street.

    One of the good boba place to go. Inside is cute and clean. Great customer service. We got 3 drinks and it's all very good. The cashier is patient and answered our questions since it was our first time. We love the rice paper snack as well.

    A successful boba run!

    Came here again on a Sunday for a meet up. Line wasn't long at all, I get nervous ordering as many…read moreothers do. So, I forgot to mention the size I wanted, which is 10 oz. The lady working automatically put in 16 oz since I didn't specify. I would have liked if she asked me. And I also thought that they let you choose between 2 diff beans in the latte, but then again she didn't ask so maybe that was just a one time thing (the time I went with my brother, there was flavor profile breakdown and all that). Anyways, I got the $8.89, Iced Vanilla Lavender Latte with dairy milk. They don't accept cash unless they can around the number up (I guess maybe if you order non dairy milk it will come out as an even number? Idk). I think the price is not worth the quality that you receive. It was mainly milk and couldn't even taste the espresso. A very very faint lavender taste. I think they need to rework their vanilla lavender syrup, maybe look into some culinary grade lavender as that is super fragrant. Whatever they use or the ratios doesn't come through at all. Another thing I wouldn't recommend ordering is the matcha. My friend ordered his with a little bit of sweetener and he said he couldn't taste the matcha at all, and it just tasted like milk. It was disappointing. However, my other friends, rave about Torque Coffee saying it's one of their favorites. If you tend to order espresso, pour overs, cold brews, & sparkling espresso drinks -- Torque Coffee is a spot to come to. In addition, I think the owners are really nice and they do think of their customers. I saw that they added more seating and benches outside their space. And I believe the owner brought out extra chairs and a table for us to sit as more people started to arrive. They even had a little bowl of water for dogs. The interior had some things moved around and it felt more spacious! I think if you DON'T order lattes and matcha, this spot is the place to go for you.

From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warm hospitality and the incredible aroma of authentic Vietnamese coffee. Every drink is crafted with care, and you can taste the difference. The coffee is rich, bold, perfectly balanced, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical coffee shop. The atmosphere is clean, inviting, and effortlessly cool making it the perfect place to catch up with friends or simply enjoy a quiet morning. The staff is genuinely friendly and passionate about what they do, which makes the experience even better. If you're visiting for the first time, don't leave without trying one of their signature Vietnamese coffees or the incredible egg coffee. Every sip is unforgettable. North Park has no shortage of great coffee shops, but Saigon Coffee stands in a league of its own. I'll definitely be back again and again!
