We were next door having tacos and saw this cute boba shop. Walked in to check out their teas and…read morewe were treated by two super friendly employees, Kerry and Lisette. It was our first time there and they were super helpful in assisting us on deciding which delicious drink to pick. I decided on the Lychee cube pearl fruit tea and my BFF decided on the Yuzu Emerald Fruit tea. I'm not a big boba fan but they have a homemade "boba" that is a little different than the original tapioca boba balls. Their "boba" is a clear squarish chewy boba that I actually really liked. My lychee tea was very refreshing and not artificial tasting. And such a cute little small boba shop. There are only a few tables so if you are looking to hang out there, there are only limited tables to do so.

I needed to try this place after hearing all the hype on Tik Toc. It is located in a shopping mall…read morein Clairemont so there are many shopping and eating places nearby. 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. Also, they had the air conditioning on so cold, I had to hurry and drink my matcha and go. 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.

Jk The place is cool and decorated with 33 cats arranged throughout the store. The crew works hard and pushing drinks out as fast as they can. There are displays that tell you when your drinks are ready but aren't truly accurate. My drink was to take 28 minutes which stressed me out but actually came out in 16! The drink was delicious and very sweet. No complaints here. I downed it before I made it to the Pink Curebound Concert. I wouldn't hesitate to drop in here again. Be back soon.

I ordered a milk tea and one of their speciality drink. It is unbearable there. There was no lines,…read moreI needed to ask for a straw, they gave me a tiny straw that barely can suck any drinks up. It's ridiculous, there was 3 girls and 1 guy working all of them ignored me. Never came to the counter to ask if I needed something. Half of them look clueless when I asked for a straw. Most I'd assume is foreign staff. One of my drink I asked for no ice and tell me why the drink have no ice but it's less than what I am supposed to get. Like literally a rip off. You would be getting a regular hot cup if you asked for no ice. My other drink, one of their specialty was throw out because it was sitting in their hot store. No AC no park no nothing everything is sat out in the rack. I dont know if this is even possible some need to send a request for the health inspector to evaluate milk being sit out and OSHA need to check their store, this is literally a sweat shop, not a good environment for people to wait or staff working under no air what so ever. Never coming back. I don't recommend this bubble tea. Trash. FYI. I did not drink the drink I tossed it. The no ice drink was completely warm. Atleast put it in the refrigerator. My other drink was completely watered and ice melted. Taste trash.

Thankfully, when we went, there was barely a line, so this was the perfect opportunity to try this place out. I was torn with a final choice, since there were so many delicious offerings! I settled on the Matcha Cortado Creamomo. This was one of the best Matcha's that I've had! The matcha was bright green, sweet and creamy and I loved that this drink also had Gyokuru Green Tea. Paired with the chewy and fresh honey boba, this place is now in my boba rotation! Love the clean, modern vibe of this place and would definitely try some other flavors next time I'm in the area.

I tried their Triple Strawberry Matcha and it was smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The menu is unique and has a lot of creative options you won't find at most cafes. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the café itself was clean with a great atmosphere to hang out and relax. It wasn't super packed considering I went on a Saturday morning. Everything felt fresh and high quality. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Highly recommend if you're a matcha lover!

I love to do a mobile order to avoid the crazy wait times. They have a mobile pick up section at the front of the store. If you're planning on stopping by definitely preorder!

It comes with coconut jelly and sago.

Located in the highly coveted del mar highlands (across from one paseo). there's a plethora of shops/movies/eateries you can go to before or after you get your drink. I can at least for sure say, it's CONSISTENT with the other locations i've been to. drinks taste just as delicious. you can make things easier for yourself and preorder on the app before you get there. service was slooooow. they have a kiosk for you to order by yourself which seems like the only option to really order from. So when you get stuck behind people who don't know what they're doing, it's PAINFUL to watch. I wish their staff would be more open to taking orders at the cashier instead of just standing there. overall experience was fine, i think Irvine location was better though.
