    WHICH WOULD YOU PICK UBAE CLOUD OR MATCHA BISCOFF? Boba Religion in Clairemont Mesa has me believing in a new kind of "tea-mony" Handcrafted drinks, organic milk teas, fruit teas, matcha lattes, and Vietnamese coffee... every sip is a little cup of happiness Tried some favorites: Lucy Lou -- smooth, sweet, and oh-so-refreshing Ubae Cloud -- fluffy vibes with ube goodness Biscoff Matcha -- a matcha made in heaven with that cookie butter twist Pandan Mochi Waffle + dipping sauce -- chewy, crispy, and seriously addictive

    I needed to try this place after hearing all the hype on Tik Toc. It is located in a shopping mall in Clairemont so there are many shopping and eating places nearby. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon walking in, it had a cute aesthetic, but I must say it smelled musty to me like it needed a good air purifier or aromatherapy machine to allow for a clean, refreshing, and nice smell to get rid of the musty smell[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, they had the air conditioning on so cold, I had to hurry and drink my matcha and go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The matcha size was small after telling her I wanted to have a large size so I will now have to head to Starbucks and get a large Sugar free Decal coffee to enjoy my day. The matcha was bitter tasting and the strawberry was jelly of some sort which I do not like so I can't say this is a place I will be back sorry to say.

    Food/drinks: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 I am so glad I found Boba Religion. I think it might be my new favorite boba spot. I have already been there twice in the past week, which should tell you how much I enjoy this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The aesthetic is super neat. I love the decor and the overall vibe. It is colorful, bright, and full of character.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have board games, and we ended up playing a game of chess, which made the experience even more fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have tried a few drinks so far. The double matcha was one of my favorites. I enjoyed it very much. It did not have that overly bitter matcha flavor and was sweet in a really balanced way. I also ordered the Oreo matcha, which was super delicious, refreshing, and tasty. The taro milk tea was good, and the ube cloud coffee was delicious. It actually reminded me of the Vietnamese coffee I usually get in Orange County, so now I do not have to drive all the way there to get something similar. The drinks here are great because they are not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like them. I also tried the purple rice yogurt just to check it out and thought it was okay. Service was also quite friendly, which added to the overall experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really enjoyed everything about this place. The vibes, the ambience, the customer service, and especially the drinks were all on point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love this place and it is five stars all the way for me.

    The shop is hitting their one year anniversary, and they're having an anniversary deal for BOGO free or half off drinks depending on the day you go. Amazing! It's located in the back left corner next to Kotobuki of Hazard Village in Kearny Mesa. There's a huge parking lot with ample stalls for customers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior of this place is quite amazing. When walking in, we're transported into a medieval/renaissance European vibes. Beautiful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For their one year anniversary, my boyfriend and I got their Blessamee (black sesame coffee) and Biscoff Coffee, both 50% sweet. The Blessamee was a bigger size than the Biscoff coffee which was interesting. Probably because of the foam on top. The worker mentioned that all their coffees were Vietnamese styled coffees, exactly what I loved! The Blessamee at 50% was a bit sweeter than I preferred but I got all the delicious bitterness of the Vietnamese coffee which was amazing. My boyfriend said the Biscoff one was a perfect sweetness for him. When I tried his, it didn't have that strong Vietnamese coffee that mine had... hmm. Regardless, we both really enjoyed our coffee. I came here previously sometime last year around with a friend who really wanted to check their matcha drink. I got their matcha with mango (cannot remember the name of it) and my boyfriend got their Wabi Sabi (matcha with matcha jelly). My friend got their Hachi Dori (strawberries matcha with matcha jelly). The matches... weren't that great in my opinion. They were very watery. The flavors weren't the best. My mango and matcha also seemed as if they didn't mesh very well. It was a bummer that none of us got anything besides matcha to try. Overall, their coffees were a winner. Their matcha wasn't but maybe the recipe improved since I last came. Congratulations to Boba Religion for making one year!

    Biscoff Matcha, Lucy Lou, Pandan Waffle
    Valerie C.

    Ordered the biscoff matcha, Lucy Lou (jasmine and oolong with boba), and a pandan waffle cone. The matcha is flavorful, Lucy Lou had a fragrant tea flavor, and the pandan waffle was perfectly toasted. It also came a salty butter or something - whatever it was, it complimented the pastry really nicely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior of this place is what really got me. It's a mix of bright colors, textures and eclectic features. It really makes you feel like you're transported elsewhere and not a boba shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Located in an unassuming plaza, there is decent parking. Restrooms located in the back. Service is fine, drinks came out relatively quickly. I'm glad to have come across Boba Religion and may come back someday.

    I was so excited to finally come and try Boba Religion! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's such a cute spot and has a few tables to relax at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the Lucy Lou, which is a jasmine and oolong milk tea with boba, and my husband got the Vietnamese coffee with boba. My drink was soo good! I love both oolong and jasmine tea, and the mix of both was perfect! And the boba balls were a good consistency and flavor as well. My husband loved his coffee; said it was one of the best Vietnamese coffees he's had at a boba spot! We could definitely taste the quality in both of our drinks. I'm excited to try more drinks in the future!

    All of the drinks here are solid. On a more complicated scale i'd give this place a 4.0. The service was quick, the staff were friendly and the drinks were unique. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor in this place was also very surprising, it had an antique vibe to it; like mad hatter vibe you could say.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute little spot to do work or catch up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It seems to not get super busy compared to the other boba places in the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoyed my drink and the aesthetic vibe of this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Snow Goddess 75% sweetness and it tasted more floral than I expected. Drink was smooth and I might choose 50% sweetness next time. I'd order it again but next time with balls. Service was fast and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Moderate amount of seats available inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Snow Goddess: 4/5

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute and vibrant vibe it feels like a nice place to unwind and just hang out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the Biscoff coffee it was good, but not quite what I expected. The coffee flavor stood out more than the Biscoff. I wish it had more of the Biscoff flavor.

    This boba shop tucked away in the corner is a hidden gem. The service was good considering that it was in the beginning of the day. The decor was great mixture of classic and modern. Very "instagram" worthy. There are lots of places to lounge. Comfy plush sofas, tables and chairs. I ordered a Green Thai Tea after getting a sample. It was refreshing and light. The boba was delicious and fresh too. I will definitely come back to try more items from their menu.

    I visited this cute cafe 2 times this past week and i'd say their pure matcha drinks are their specialty. The first time I came, I really enjoyed their double matcha and matcha oreo. We asked for 50% sweetness for both and it was nice that they had a bottle of cane sugar at the counter if you wanted to add a bit more sweetness to your drink. The second time we came in, we were interested to try their fruit matcha creations. We ended up getting the hachi dori and mono no aware, but were a bit disappointed. The fruit flavor overtook the whole drink and was a bit too sweet for my liking. The boba shop had a vintage-eclectic vibe and reminded me of an art gallery. Very cute photo ops!

    Strawberry Matcha
    Vivian T.

    Really rare find for boba and quality matcha drinks here in San Diego! I've come maybe twice to lounge and get some work done at Boba Religion. The staff is really kind and helpful, but the shop can reach high volume when it is busy. If you were looking into their matcha creations, I'd recommend the double matcha over the fruity ones, as sometimes the fruit in the strawberry matcha puree is too sweet or tarte depending on the ripeness of the fruits. It's much more unique compared to boba shops in the area. Their menu is more diverse and the decoration is picturesque and totally picture worthy.

    Wabi sabi and biscoff matcha
    Meghan A.

    It's my first time coming to Boba Religion and upon walking in felt like stepping into an Alice in Wonderland-type world -- almost whimsical, cozy, and the decoration is perfect to fit the aesthetic. The vibes alone pulled us in, but the matcha is what's gonna have us come back for more!! They have a whole variety of drinks with such fun names, my boyfriend and I got the Wabi Sabi (matcha with matcha jelly) and the Biscoff matcha, and both were sooo good The matcha was so smooth, rich, and not overly sweet, and the matcha jelly added such a nice texture without overpowering the drink. The Biscoff matcha was creamy, and had the perfect amount of biscoff flavor that made it lowkey addictive lol. *additional points for already including oatmilk* You can tell the drinks are thoughtfully made, and I love that the flavors actually shine instead of being drowned in sugar. It's also the perfect spot to hang out and take cute pics! The workers seem really sweet too as they had helped us with a few questions we had about the menu! Definitely will come back here soon to try more drinks!!

    Does the store open at 10? I got there at 10:05 yesterday and the light was off with close sign

    Do you offer any snacks? I see some on Yelp pictures but it seems like from previous owner. Ube…

    Yes, we are currently offering spring rolls which were launched on 3/11. We are rolling out pandan mochi bubble waffle this week! There are more options rolling out as well later. Thank you for being patient with us.

I'm surprised some people could sit down and work/study successfully. Note: I had a positive experience last time getting a blended drink, but today I felt like trying their Thai Tea (not blended) and two Korean Corn Dogs. I ordered the hot Cheeto one with cheese and sausage. Did not wind up receiving the hot Cheeto one. Got a regular one with all cheese, no sausage. Partner got a potato one with cheese and sausage, but only 25% of the filling was sausage. We ate them anyways and wanted to leave it at that since the parking was so difficult. Then my stomach started gurgling in a very wrong way. I don't know if something went wrong with the Thai tea (was the milk they used expired?), or with my Korean corn dog possibly being prepared wrong with a new hire, but my body rejected it violently once I got home. I'd be very cautious about coming back here. Most likely won't. Couldn't finish my Thai Tea. Had to throw it out. I'm hoping this was just an unfortunate one time thing, because it seems like people for the most part have a good experience from their food and drinks. This is my third ever time visiting Urban Bubble. The past two visits were for blended drinks and they were great! The girl working the cash register on the evening of 4/24 around 8:00PM was really helpful with suggesting recommendations and did great. I don't know who prepared my food and drink but maybe they need extra training, heads up. If you order food, I suggest that you check the food before leaving the building instead of trusting that it was correct and finding out once you've already left.

They also always have samples by the register and last time I sampled their Grapefruit Bloom and it was also very good and you could really taste the tea! The store is relatively small, and does have some seating but is very limited. I highly recommend trying out and supporting this small business. The parking lot is VERY small, but I feel like I always go at a random time and has never not been able to find a parking spot.
