Very basic boba shop. Nothing special. Boba had nice soft texture but absolutely no flavor. Milk tea was bland and luke warm. Besides the little to no decor, there were some awkward red chairs to sit on. They had like 2 board games. Free wifi. Decent prices but I would go some where else for good boba milk tea. read more

Bland and watered down Thai Tea. The "Jumbo" size is what you'd expect from a medium at any other shop. Skip and save your money.

Love this spot such amazing boba. I've been comming here for 18 years. Popcorn chicken is delicious you must try.

This place is not worth coming back! The smoothie itself taste very bland and the consistency is very watery. And they charge you extra 25cents for choosing a flavor for your snow bubble. I asked what goes on a base snow bible and the guy said just water, sugar, and ice. Wtf. That doesn't make sense. read more

Personally....I wouldn't come here again. The drinks were good, decent but the tapioca pearls were not sweet at all and were gross. It was like they just put in boiled tapioca. The workers are very nice though and the drinks came out quick. read more

Omfg. I am so disappointed in the service that I received tonight. I ordered the taro slush with boba and after waiting 15 minutes for my boba, I got into my car, left and because my boba was lit disgusting I felt compelled to go back and return it. I don't ever do this but it was a must this time. So, I went in and I asked the man if I could get a refund, at this point I don't want boba period. He shakes his head and walks away and starts opening the top of my boba I gave back and pours it back into the blender... At this point the pervious customer comes back in and just informs the man that his boba isn't good either. The customer doesn't want a refund but just wanted to inform the guy and that's when the worker says he can't give refunds. And I just look up like what? I ask him, so I can't get a refund and he said no but I can make you a new one. And I told him I didn't want a new one, would there be any way I could get store credit. He said there's no way and I just walked out. HORRIBLE and he was unapologetic about it which made it worse. Just go to Tapioca Express - it's a safer bet. read more

Great, cute boba place!! The people who work there are super nice. I got that matcha with some boba and it was delicious, will definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

I was desperate to find a good boba tea place in North County after my boyfriend took me to Tea n More in San Diego. We decided to try this place, and were pretty happy with it. The store is a bit cozy, but it's clean and inviting. The staff was very friendly and patient, I watched them deal very graciously with the woman in front of us who seemed a bit confused with the menu. They were happy to answer my questions and took our order quickly and accurately. We waited just a few minutes to get our drinks (there were two orders ahead of us), and they did get our order correct. I got a honey milk tea with no boba (I don't really like the texture of boba), and my boyfriend got a plain boba milk tea. My drink was very yummy, the drinks at Tea n More are just a tiny bit better. His boba was slightly overcooked (but he said he prefers that to slightly undercooked), and his tea tasted a lot like coffee! I know he doesn't like coffee, but he assured me that it's very normal and he is used to boba places making it that way. If you don't like coffee though, I wouldn't get the plain boba milk tea! TLDR; yummy milk tea, great if you don't want to make the drive to San Diego read more

Decent bubble tea place. It's very obvious they use pre-made mixes (which is pretty standard, I guess). The pricing was on-par with most other bubble tea places (large drinks are upwards of $5). I'm not sure that I would ever return because it wasn't remarkable by any means. But if you're in the neighborhood and craving some boba (even late night), Bubble Tea will definitely hit the spot. read more

Depending on who is working some are really rude Nd the others are cool to chat with, but as for their Bobas I hate to say its literally terrible.. There's no type of fruit in it just powder and syrup smh Nd the Bobas are hard Nd definitely no taste, I love my Boba drinks especially from SD Boba Tea but these guys are really putting a bad name out for their Company Nd for Boba drinks especially if its going to be ur first time trying Boba drink.. Don't go here u will regret even trying the drinks but go to SD BOBA TEA ITS WORTH IT.. read more

Got two large smoothies, I was extremely polite and even tipped, but I must have missed when he asked if I wanted boba in them and added it. Afterwards I let him know I didn't want the boba and considered paying for two more. But then I realized that I've never seen a business who made a drink or food item that the customer didn't want and then would let them pay again for them to make it right. read more

I love this place. Hot chai's with boba are my fave. Sometimes the drinks can be too sweet but if you make a custom request, the staff is always nice about accommodations. Bubble Tea is by far my favorite place for boba drinks. read more

I'm new to this whole boba tea thing, but I stopped by and got the blueberry with boba yesterday and it was so good! The restaurant is super cute. Appears to be family owned? And the guy that made my drink was very nice and personable. read more

i have only found one other place that can make avocado boba drinks. http://www.yelp.com/biz/bobalicious-san-diego yeah, go ahead and cringe. it's good stuff. try it. i was pretty stoked to learn this location offered them too. good times. good times. good times. read more

there's another bubble tea in oceanside. that one has some lady who sells crepes inside. this one doesn't. that's the main difference. everything else is exactly the same. the bubble tea isn't bad here. i hate the atmosphere though. it seems like a hang out spot for D&D kids that think boba is the most exotic thing ever and love to order super complicated drink concoctions. read more

This place sucks literally. They don't have much flavors and they have poor customer service skills. The lady who worked the cash register was young, but did not speak an ounce of English so I had to repeat my order several times. Plus I believe they are under construction right now, there back area was getting worked on. So you can hear everything. Isn't that a health hazard? Dust particles could be flying around! read more

loved the strawberry mango snow tea i got today ^____^ so good!! great portion of boba too and great flavors from the syrups, especially the mango :3 i got a "small" as well which ended up being a very big portion for the price - awesome!! read more

I wish I could give this place a 0 star. The customer service here is horrible!! The girl at the register with the blue hair is so rude, unprofessional and you can just tell she hates working here. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

I like this place... used to be a regular my first few years of college. I think they make the best thai tea ice cream boba evarrrrr. Better than any of the thai restaurants I've been too. Maybe it's because they add ice cream... and it's thicker than regular thai tea. But yeah, they have a huge selection of what to choose from. It used to be THE hangout when I was in high school. They recently added a couple of couches to make it more comfy. My friend's fam owns the place. They're nice and awesome. Oh! And their boba's always fresh. read more

I would have given this place 4 stars until I recently saw that they have a "B" letter grade on their window. I liked this place... I wonder what happened... read more

I was ignored for a good 10 mins, they took a while to prepare it, overall the staff is kinda day dreamy. The drink was good though.

Do you ever go somewhere after soo long and nothing's really changed? A decade has gone by since I started coming here and probably 9 years since my last visit. It was to my knowledge the first Tea Lounge that served Boba in North County so before kids were going to Starbucks to study and be accepted they were coming from Palomar College to hang out here between classes as campus food was wack. If you were Asian or just into milk tea or boba you were coming here. The flimsy hollow aluminum uncomfortable chairs are still there and the menu really hasn't changed except added a few food items and a few new flavors. Heck even the picture on the frames are from that day and age. I almost always used to get Honeydew milk tea with boba, large as they could make it. Now I get the same thing just regular. I was amazed to find out they are now open to midnight every day. Granted I doubt they open up starbucks early and I don't know about their Wifi, but if you remember the days of spiked hair and nautical jackets you might want to step back in time and feel young again or really old for a few minutes. read more

They made my drink iced instead of blended and he was very rude and wouldn't remake it... not great customer service

Boba is just okay. Not the best I've had by far. Also, it takes a really long time to get your order, especially after the high school gets out during the afternoon rush. read more

This is the worst boba place I have ever been to!! And I do boba almost daily!! I ordered the taro milk tea, it was the so disgusting I took one sip and threw it out. On top of that the place was full of clutter. I was hesitant to even purchase from this place but I had to give it a try. The customer service was horrid! Took the girl forever to take our order and when she did I was polite asked her how she was doing ordered my boba. She was very dismissive of my party and down right rude. We tried to tell her to have a nice day and ... nothing. NOT going to this place again!!! read more

First time here! Definitely not a great first impression! There was only one person working, she was in the middle of cleaning and didn't greet us for a good 5 minutes! While taking our orders and answering questions, she was not friendly at all! Couldn't even crack a smile! Lighten up its Bubble tea! While waiting for our 2 drinks we sat on one of the two very outdated dirty pleather couches that had an awkwardly placed table in between them. The decor of this place is thrift shop garbage at best! I definitely won't be coming back! The two boba drinks were mediocre... Powder and syrup! The boba tasted stale! Had to buy an additional drink after my daughter did not like the boba in hers. Had to wait for the ONLY person working on a Saturday afternoon to make 5 drinks ahead of our redo! It literally took 20 min! I should have just asked for my money back at this point...lol Not sure how this place is still in business! Must be the cheap rent?! Sorry , not sorry , Bubble Tea we won't be seeing u again!! read more

Boba here is good. I go here if I need my "boba" fix and I don't feel like driving down to Mira Mesa from Escondido. The service is quick and the staff is friendly. Definitely recommended. read more

Great boba place! I love the matcha milk tea! I've been to this one and the Oceanside one, but I like this spot better for some reason. It's actually 5 mins from my house too but it's rarely ever busy and the workers are super nice! read more

I honestly love this place! I always try to get something different. I did come at 10:30 when they were supposed to open but wasn't unlocked and open until 10:45 which isn't a huge deal considering it's worth the wait with friendly staff as well :)! read more

Went to bubble tea on a cool day in order to get a nice bobba session with my buds. Sabina was working and did phenomal job. There was an issue with the printer but she made sure it was all Gucci and turned a catastrophe into danktastrophe. read more

If you're in north county and craving boba, this is the place to go. It's decent..definitely doesn't compare to more of the quality boba spots in mira mesa but its right down the street from my house & their green tea/macha is pretty good. Depending on the day and time, the boba might be way too hard/frozen or too soft/disgusting/mushy..but for the most part, not too bad. read more

Yummy!! I always make a point to stop here when I am in the area. There boba is always good, not old and hard. They have a huge selection and the workers are nice! read more

I never knew what bad boba was until I visited Bubble Tea. Their boba has no flavor whatsoever and their drinks taste too sweet and artificial. I was really upset that I spent $4 on a milk tea with boba that was not up to par. I used to go to Bubble Tea years ago and it's definitely lost it's charm throughout those years. I'll go elsewhere for my boba fix. read more

This place smells like hookah and feels a little dirty. The boba is pretty average quality.

The drink was good overall, but the service wasn't. The cashier seemed very annoyed and irritated. It was our first time here and she made it seem very unwelcoming. There was a weird problem with their credit card machine as well... Took 10 minutes just to ring up our order. read more

I'm originally from Vancouver, BC and just moved to this area from Seattle, WA; so having said that, I'm a huge Boba fan! I search it out wherever I am and authentic Taiwanese boba is the best. This place is super authentic. I do wish they had fresh fruit smoothies as they do in Vancouver, but I guess I will just have to live with my jumbo milk tea with triple boba order that I have on a daily basis. The workers here are definitely beginning to know my face having only lived in San Marcos for about 1 1/2 months. Service is quick and friendly...and this place is very clean. I walk in there and say 'I'll have my regular'...and they know exactly what to do. I love this place and the boba drinks are excellent. read more

I'm trying to like this place. I really want to get the popcorn chicken, but the kitchen is always closed.... I have made 2 attempts....get different answers everytime. 1) the kitchen is open after 2pm 2)the kitchen is open after 5pm I don't think that is a proper way to run a business. The mango slushee boba was good though.. read more

Service is great. They let me sample their milk tea before I ordered and gave suggestions. Prices are great. I gave only 4 stars because bobba didn't taste like anything to me but location service and slushie and milk tea taste was on point for powder drinks. read more

Love this bobba shop, been going there for a couple years now and haven't been disappointed. Great shop

At first I was very hesitant to try this place, but they have Consistently good boba. I'm super picky about my boba and everything about it here is great. The customer service could use some improvement though. My favorite drink is the Thai iced tea with boba. Of course read more
