    Okinawa milk tea with boba  Lychee yakult
    Alice C.

    Got the regular size Okinawa milk tea with boba and lychee yakult. Both with less ice, the milk tea was 1/2 sweet, yakult had no added sweeteners. Prices pretty reasonably. My yakult had a lot of ice in it though but flavor was good and wasn't crazy expensive so it's fine. Service was chill and inside was cute.

    Me and my friend and our two bobas

    Epic spot. Tea was so delish, but definitely ask for less sweetness as they come pretty sweet. We had Nico as our server and he was a fantastic young man. Give him a raise! The service was truly exceptional from him.

    I honestly don't know how the same chain spot in Oceanside can be so much better... same order, totally different drinks. Disappointed to say the least. The Hokkaido milk tea is so much better at the O'side shop. Weird. Same for the taro latte.

    Delicious teas and I love the quality of the drinks. Small indoor seating area. I would return here if I was in the area and needed a pick me up:)

    This is my go to spot! Great service and they're quick and efficient too. I really love the taste of all their drinks. My go to drinks are strawberry milk tea sometimes when I don't want dairy I lean towards peach or mango green tea

    Hurray for legitimately good boba in Carlsbad! They have an extensive menu including many choices for coffee lovers as well as an option for me to create my current favorite type of drink. The golden boba is a great choice - nice soft chewy honey boba. Would definitely stop by again. Bonus - there's a See's Candies in the same shopping center if you're also in the mood for chocolate

    I love Ding tea and have never had a bad drink here. Fun to take the family or a date to satisfy your thirst. There are always teenagers here so you know it is cool and reasonably priced. The only thing that this place is missing according to my wife is an almond slush. I also just learned that almonds are not nuts. They are seeds from a drupe. "The More You Know"

    After going to two ding teas, I'm starting to smell consistency. The tea is good, all the time. This location had quick and friendly service. The interior was small, but the whole wall is window which gives a cool effect. "Make a wise life"

    Amazing tasting teas and coffee! Would 100% recommend for good quality boba! Cute little place.

    January 2025 Tuesday deal
    Allison C.

    Daughter wanted ding tea and this was our first time at this location. Free private parking lot in front. Lots of drinks to choose from teas, slushes, coffees, fruit drinks. They have a top 10 menu if you're unsure what to chose. I think you can even chose your sugar level- I thought I saw a sign but don't recall being asked. Forgot to take photo of it. I did the mango slush with boba and mango jellies. I think my daughter did the winter melon and husband got coffee. It was weird tho cos I'm used to just having the regular dark boba, which my daughter got and mine was the crystal boba which I didn't want. Also my mango slush wasn't as sweet as I wanted it, maybe cos I'm used to a snow bubble- probably should've asked to mix Yakult with it. Anyways it's all preference. Anyway they have a Dela on Tuesday's, but 2, get a Thai tea but toppings and upgrades are excluded.

    been coming here for a few years never disappoints!…read more Ginger, turmeric immunity shots. Great prices and great staff! Eight out of five stars!

    Ok there's quite a few problems I have with this place so here's a long list of my dislikes…read more -Extremely expensive with small portion sizes, not worth the price whatsoever. -They claim the juices are fresh but sit in their fridges for days. I scratched off an expiration date and found another label underneath! They just slapped a new one on to make it look fresh. -The soups are left out for at least a week and are heated at the beginning of the shifts. The heaters for the soups are turned off when the closer leaves. I was there at the opening time a few months ago and I guess one of the employees forgot to turn the heater on and I was served a cold soup. The soups are rotting and changing temperatures and they continue to serve it!!!!!! -The açaí used is not actually raw açaí berries but packets of frozen açaí which is extremely concerning for an "acai bowl and smoothie place". -As I was waiting by the counter for my bowl I heard the employees discussing a RAT ISSUE that they said had been persistent for multiple weeks!!! One of the employees told his coworker that A RAT HAD CRAWLED INTO THE REFRIGERATOR!! I'm not ashamed that I was eavesdropping on their conversation because this is ridiculous! Once the other worker noticed me listening they instantly stopped talking and started whispering to each other, then tried to pretend like had nothing happened. -Lastly, a majority of the employees are incredibly rude. When you ask for simple modifications some of them groan or complain. They expect tips for little to no effort and stare like you did something wrong even though they have a job to do. After one employee was rude to me when I asked to swap almond milk with water on my açaí bowl, I asked for her name. But after asking, she gave me a DIFFERENT EMPLOYEE'S name in order to cover herself!! (I printed a receipt and saw her real name). But, some of the employees were very nice and asked me how my day was going every time I ordered or continued conversation with me. Overall, this establishment has reached its last straw for me. I'm tired of dealing with the nonsense this place offers and am excited for it to be replaced with apartment homes in the near future. Hopefully this will bring in tourists to Carlsbad rather than waste the pretty lawn it sits on.

    5 STARS - BEST AÇAÍ BOWL ON THE PLANET…read more Blue Bowl Superfoods is hands down the BEST açaí bowl I have ever had in my life. And I do not say that lightly. This bowl was next level -- the prettiest one I've ever seen and somehow even better tasting than it looked. First of all -- it's ALL VEGAN. Everything. No weird additives, no junk, just high-quality superfoods layered perfectly. You can literally taste the freshness and care in every bite. The açaí was thick and smooth, the chia layer was perfect, the strawberries were insanely fresh, the granola had the best crunch, and the drizzle on top? Unreal. And the girl working there? AMAZING. So kind, so welcoming, and she made the bowl with actual love and precision. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. She made the BEST açaí bowl in the world. Period. What I love most is that it's super high-class superfoods clean ingredients, powerful nutrition but the price is still totally reasonable. You're getting premium quality without feeling ripped off. If you care about your health, if you love plant-based food, if you want something beautiful AND delicious GO HERE. Immediately. Best açaí bowl I've ever had. Prettiest bowl I've ever seen. All vegan. Elite ingredients. 10/10 experience.

You'll find a handful of other cool spots to check out as well as a premier dining spot within the same block! But that's for another review/post. This is about Beach City Smoothies.
