    Hawaiian style shaved ice cream
    Miranda V.

    The customer service was amazing, we are from out of town and like to find small businesses around the area. So glad we picked Bog Wave Boba. This was a junior size and it was enough to feed two people. The environment is calm and relaxing. Definitely will be back next time we are in Pismo.

    Shave ice with watermelon and grape flavors

    We needed a sweet treat after back to school shopping so we went to Big Wave Boba for some shave ice. It used to be called PCH but they changed owners for some time now. They have a really cool beach theme mural on one of their walls. I really like it! The service is very chill and nice. We got the smaller size shave ice with watermelon and grape flavors and it was still too big for my son to finish! They have board games that you could play with while you're there, which makes it fun to visit here. They have a stamp card that they gave you so that is cool too!

    We aren't from the area but decided to stop in for a treat. It was clean and has a cute vibe. We were greeted when we walked in and our order was made pretty quickly. We ordered the Big Kahuna Shaved ice Hawaiian style. It was huge and was so delicious. The ice cream in the middle is a game changer and the condensed milk Topping is just perfect! Will definitely be here again!

    Came here on a nice sunny afternoon to get some shaved iced and wow 10/10 hospitality was great and the 2 workers were so nice was waiting outside and they brought out tables and chairs, very nice, shaved ice was great with vanilla ice cream. Definitely come by they have a big menu

    Usually matcha is too bitter for me, but this one was perfectly sweet and so good.

    The best quality matcha drink in the area from SLO to Santa Maria! My new go to boba place in town!…read more The last time I visited this location was almost 2 years ago when it was still the old boba shop with a different owner. According to the new owner, they're not associated with the last one in any way. Chapter 25 has its own theme that I love which is "kindness". You'll see stickers, art works, and signs both inside the store and outside that promoting kindness. I am obsessed with matcha drinks and matcha anything! If the place offers matcha drinks or desserts, I'd have to try it. From all the pictures on Yelp, their strawberry matcha seems like the most popular item, so of course I had to try it my first time here. The matcha is ceremonial quality, whisked and made as ordered, then pair with fresh strawberry puree pieces and milk. I have tried matcha drinks/latte from pretty much every coffee shops around that offer them, Chapter 25 is hands down the best one! Glad Chapter 25 is here. I just have to control myself and not come here more than a couple times a week lol.

    We went there for the first time today. We'll definitely be back. The boba was cooked to…read moreperfection, soft and chewy. The owner's 5+ years in the business shows. He was very personable and knew his stuff. If you like boba, I highly recommend that you try this place.

    Drinks and service are 10/10!…read more Located inside SLO Public Market so there's plenty of parking and seats. Usually there's a line but it moves fast. Whole process usually takes 15 min or less. Order: strawberry hojicha cream top (10/10): this is my favorite thing here! not the biggest fan of matcha so i usually get hojicha and this drink is so good. u can taste the roastiness? of the hojicha and the cream top is creamy. Service: Service is amazing :) The workers are friendly and helpful. I noticed that the cashier would always make small talk with everyone! I also had a big order so Justin helped me bring my drinks to my car which was very considerate. Found out hes the founder! Wish I was closer to SLO so I could come back but enjoyed the 2 times I was here.

    Very extensive menu options! The ordering process was very fast regardless of the line they have…read moreforming. It was our first time there so we asked for recommendations since they know best. I took the recommendation of coffee cream top matcha and my boyfriend got the mango white peach tea. I noticed that the workers that were preparing the drinks used scales to measure everything out so all the drinks are consistent! Drinks: Coffee Cream Top Matcha (7/10): The coffee cream top was very delicious! I tried a little bit before I mixed it and yum! I was sad when I mixed it in because I couldn't taste it anymore. I did wish the matcha flavor was more prominent after mixing. It tasted like straight milk and brown sugar to me. If you ever had brown sugar milk with boba, it tasted exactly like that. The boba was chewy and soft though! Best boba I've had in SLO. Mango White Peach Tea (4/10): I'm sorry but this one wasn't really good. The syrups overpowered the tea entirely and personally, it was so sweet, it made my throat hurt.

    Delicious! Very reasonably priced! Great, friendly service! it's a must visit!…read more We have passed by here many times, but the place never seemed that appealing from the outside. Located right at the corner of a V intersection, but the parking lot is tiny, maybe enough for 6-8 cars max. The inside is not any bigger. With about 6 tables total, it's actually never completely full every time we have been here. What surprises us each and every time is the amount of to go orders they get! Literally, at least 1 call in/walk in/online order every 10-15 mins! Having been to several Thai restaurants on the Central Coast, Tasty Thai is the cheapest so far out of all the ones we've been to here! Their portion is also good for at least a couple dollars cheaper per dish compared to anywhere else! With the exception of the Panang curry, which has great flavor, but just too watery like a soup and not enough veggies/toppings, every single dishes we have tried here have been great to excellent! Our go to dishes every single time are satay chicken 10/10, beef salad 9/10, pad see ew with beef 8/10, and we would make the effort to try a new dish for that second entree. Excellent mom's and pop's restaurant! Give them a try! You will not be disappointed.

    Went for our first time after having this place on our places to try list. It did not disappoint!…read moreThe food was great! I got the fat noodles and had them done spicy. Rest of my party got pad thai! Everyone commented on how delicious the plates were. Our waiter was upbeat and very knowledgeable. He had answers to all of our new customer questions. The place is small and the food came quick. Lots of people in there for lunch. Thats always a good sign. I say try it!

    What a cozy little cafe in the heart SLO! The Boba Nook serves up delicious milk teas and has a…read morevery cute ambiance. Walking in you're greeted with cute cafe music taken from animal crossing. In fact, they have a video of a cafe scene of the animal crossing game playing to really set the cutesy aesthetic. The milk tea is good. They don't have as many choices when customizing sweetness, but their tea isn't too sweet at all. I enjoyed a strawberry matcha and my wife enjoyed a passionfruit green tea. Both were good. The boba was nice was good and fresh. Service was fairly quick. The girl was very sweet and offered to remake our drink if we didn't like it. We enjoyed the drink very much. Definitely a place to come and chill, study and even get a little work done.

    FOOD: They only serve drinks but a good amount of options!…read moreThere are milk teas, matchas, fruit teas, coconut clouds, peachy refreshers, milkshakes and a Vietnamese cold brew. I ordered the banana matcha latte and my bf got the Vietnamese cold brew. The Vietnamese cold brew ended up being sweeter than my matcha but that not a problem for me because I do not like my drinks sweet. A good hint of banana in my drink but mostly matcha. The banana matcha latte is available for a limited time only unlike the Vietnamese cold brew. SERVICE: We were the only ones at the store during our visit but the service was quick. There was only one person taking orders and making the drinks at the time but even then I thought she did it in a timely manner. AMBIANCE: Plenty of space and a cute instagrammable install photo-op against the wall. Plenty of seats available and some games available for groups visiting the store. There is free wifi available as well. The music playing in the background was not playing too loud. I feel like the store is still pretty empty and needs some more decorations but otherwise a good space to get some work done while enjoying your drink. Will definitely come back and try the other drinks!
