Also, they have delicious coffee. We always get the flat white, which is the perfect combo with the lemon and sugar crepe. Their peach green tea and boba was great and their froyos are better than yogurtland, imo. Finally, the girls who work there are so lovely. They're friendly, kind, and helpful. So glad this place exists!!

The shop has relaxing vibes.The decor reflects and matches the beach environment. There are many indoor seating. The shop is clean and organized. You can build up your poke bowl, choose your base, protein, toppings and sauce. They also have signature bowls and wide selection of drinks. They have regular bowl with three scoops of protein and large bowl with four scoops of protein, signature bowls, and kids bowls. They also have many drinks like smoothies, fruit teas, matcha latte, milk teas, fresh milk, and açai bowls. We got large poke bowls. The quantity was huge. The seafood was very fresh, savory and abundant. The toppings were generous too. We also tried Strawberry fresh milk. It was refreshing. The young staff were very friendly and attentive. Poki Poki Boba & Brewski is a nice poke shop to try. It is solid 4.5.

There are a few tables inside, but the space is fairly austere. My guess is they do a lot of takeout. I tend to gravitate toward poke since I can choose my own ingredients, and I'm a big fan of salmon sashimi. Poking Poki did a nice job building my custom bowl, though I would have liked more sauce options, especially non-spicy choices. That said, I'd happily order another bowl here, even if they serve them in square containers. Maybe they should call them "poke squares"? Tip: The large bowl is truly large. You may want to consider ordering the regular size.

They even share the same employees. The two ladies from HOP were the same two ladies who made our Presotea drink. They have a couple self-ordering kiosks. It was easy to use. I wanted a fruit smoothie. My go-to is the avocado smoothie so I ordered that. I don't know what came over me to select 75% sweetness. I usually go for 100% especially for the first time getting the drink. I can adjust for subsequent times. Anyway, the avocado smoothie didn't have the level of sweetness I was hoping for. It was a little bland. Avocado isn't sweet in the first place so it needs a boost from some source of sugar. It wasn't bad, but it could have been better. They had a good variety of other tea and boba drinks. Despite of my mediocre avocado smoothie, I would still recommend Presotea to anyone who's looking for a good drink to quench their thirst.

The Oreo and puffy cream flavor was overpowering with Oreos that my nephew didn't even taste the added boba. My milk tea with puffy cream was delicious. I don't think the puffy cream is needed as the milk tea base was quite tasty already. We also got the original bubble wrap and this time it was made perfectly. Thanks Heather! Overall great experience. Staff was super friendly. Greeted us as we were walked in and wished us a nice day when we left. Indoor decor was also cute and very inviting to sit and relax and enjoy our desserts.

"Got the feeling, power steering Pistons popping, ain't no…read morestopping now" (Van Halen) We found them in the Carlsbad Village shopping Center. The store is a kaleidoscope of pre-packaged popcorn in every color of the rainbow. Their website lists an impressive product line of 29 glazed and 18 savory popcorns. Some of the more intriguing flavors are Piña Colada, Red Hot Cinnamon, Watermelon, Churro, Cajun, Loaded Potato, Ranch, Dill, Guadalajara, and Bacon Cheese. Now it's pretty common to have a drink of something with popcorn, right? Well Always Popping has checked that box multiple times with a slew of Bobas, slushes, bubble teas, taros, matchas, and milk teas. Toss in their Acai bowls and the combinations and permutations are endless. We picked up three bags of their popcorn -Watermelon, Kettle, and Strawberry-Vanilla. We can't wait to try them!

Luckily after a little research, we found Tea Monks. The parking lot was packed on a Saturday afternoon so I thought we would be in for quite an adventure just to find parking. Fortunately we were able to find a spot fairly quickly. The line was out the door for Tea Monks which can only be a sign that there is deliciousness waiting for us through the front doors. The line moved quickly which was both a pro and a con. Since it was moving so fast, we would have to make a choice from all of the great options. I was torn between the cabana berry smoothie and the green apple slushie. Ultimately landed on the slushie and decided to add strawberry pearl. There are a few small stools to use while waiting but not much room other than that. Fortunately our drinks were up in a matter of minutes. The first sip was heavenly and hit the spot. I'm always skeptical ordering "green apple" because I'm scared that the apple flavor will fall flat but this one was perfect. I could taste the apple and the tartness was great. The strawberry pearl was a perfect addition. I'm so glad we decided to stop here before heading home.

Safe to say I won't be returning. I walked in to find some girl who doesn't even work there lounging at the counter with her feet up right where customers are supposed to pay. Completely unprofessional. The girl who took my order was polite, but the one making the drinks looked like she just rolled out of bed. Hair down, totally not dressed for work... it's honestly shocking how far this place has fallen. Truly disappointing, but again--not surprised. Sidenote, not sure what happened but their store hours are all over the place
