This particular visit, we got three drinks: Roasted Oolong Tea (one of my go-to's; so refreshing and always a hit for me) - 5/5 Hokkaido Black Milk Tea with Boba (just the right amount of sweetness with a bold black tea flavor; boba cooked to perfection) - 5/5 Orange Green Tea with Rainbow Jelly (not my favorite combination; the OJ had a slight bitterness that didn't sit well with me) -3/5 The place was bright and clean when we stopped by. They have some tables and chairs if you wanted to enjoy your goodies there. Service was okay--we got our drinks pretty quickly, but the lady at the counter was a little meh. Maybe because it was later in the day and she was tired.

POPCORN CHICKEN ($9.25) - this was tasty, after working all day and thus being "dinner". HONEYDEW BOBA (~$6.50) - I asked for very little boba. The drink itself was average kind of on the sugary sweet side. But the boba pearls were hard. Next time I'll order this without boba! Until the next review...

The rich, flavorful coffee paired with the sweet and crunchy cookie butter is such a perfect combination, and it's become my go-to order every time I visit.

While I was there, the staff found a ring that had fallen in the tip jar and found the owner to return it, which I thought was very kind and thoughtful. They also serve you your drink if you are sitting down, and they remember their regulars. There is an open bathroom that was very clean, a water station, and multiple available wall outlets, plus seating areas both in and outside. There are so many syrup flavors, as well as dairy free options, and my latte was really good! I was so excited to try a unique flavor and loved it. I did not try a pastry but they have plenty available. 100% recommend!

My husband has started timing how long I can go without mentioning it (current record: 6 hours, and honestly I'm not proud of that). The staff here are so genuinely kind that I've started to suspect they're either extremely well-trained or just secretly the nicest humans alive - I'm leaning toward the latter. Every single time I walk in it's warm greetings and zero judgment when I order something absurdly complicated with three add-ins and "light ice, not too light- 50% sweet." The tea itself tastes like it was brewed with actual love and not, you know, whatever sad tea bags are haunting other boba shops. Fresh, fragrant, the real deal. And the boba?? Cooked to that perfect chewy-not-mushy texture that feels like it should require a culinary degree. I've had boba elsewhere that tasted like sad little erasers. Not here. Here they respect the pearl. Honestly this place has ruined me for other boba shops in Escondido. I walk past competitors now like a woman who's found The One and simply cannot be tempted. 10/10, will be back approximately tomorrow.

You'll have your choice of cones, smoothies, banana splits, or almost anything else you can think of. But La Michoacana Sonmex in Poway really stands out from the rest. It is more than just an ice cream store! It has snacks, fresh fruit, and a wide variety of fresh made lunch items. There are elotes, ceviche, tostadas, and and the sandwiches are all delicious! The bread is fresh and so are the fillings. My husband had a roast pork sandwich and I had a cheese sandwich. Next time, I'll try the tuna. To go with our sandwiches, we had a cucumber agua fresca, and I also had a cafe de olla. Everything was outstanding. As soon as we walked through the door, the owners, Guillermo and Maricela made us feel welcome and took special care of us, explaining the various options. And we were not the only customers in the store! But somehow, they took care of all of us while preparing the food at the same time. Tallk about multitasking! I did see a sign on the menu noting a new phone number, 858-842-1974, so if you can't get through on the published number, you might try that one until things get settled.

They charge for every little customization, including asking for "no ice" will cost you. We ordered 2 drinks, one of which was a Peach milk tea with brown sugar boba. We tasted zero peach and only brown sugar. It was really sweet. My 25% sweet lychee black tea with boba was way too sweet as well. The boba pearls themselves were soft and tasted warm/fresh, however, there was way too much of the brown sugar syrup they were sitting in at the bottom of our cups. We both only got through half the drink. The store was clean, and they had a few cute claw machine games and even a free neighborhood Pokémon card exchange box.
