    Biscoff cookie crumble on top
    Belle N.

    I've been to Gotcha Tea a couple of times now. The first time I tried one of their coffee drinks (can't remember which one), but I do remember it being a little too sweet for my taste. Today I was craving matcha and wanted to branch out from my usual spot, Labora Coffee. I decided to stop by Gotcha Tea to try their Biscoff Matcha--and I'm so glad I did! I asked the cashier if the drink was sweet since that would help me decide whether to adjust the sugar level. She said it wasn't too sweet and that the balance was just right, so I trusted her recommendation. Both girls working were super sweet and friendly. The Biscoff matcha is a hit! So good. I got it with oat milk, and it had this nice Biscoff cookie crumble on top of the cold foam--such a nice touch. If you like Biscoff cookies and matcha, you'll love this drink. Only thing--I wish it came in a larger size because I finished it so fast! (Maybe I was just thirsty... or maybe a little too much ice ). Definitely coming back for this and to try more of their matcha flavors. Plus, they're right next to Spicy Lao Kitchen, so it's an easy combo stop!

    Gotcha Gotcha Tea Cafe is located on Kearny Villa Road in Kearny Mesa. They offer fresh brewed teas, milk teas, smoothies, and coffee drinks. They recently revamped their menu and added more in house specials, so I wanted to see if the quality had improved since my last visit. The shop itself is cute but visually busy. There's some seating available, though not a huge amount. One thing that stands out is the number of claw machines and collectible figurines around the space, including Pop Mart style displays. It gives the shop personality and makes it fun to hang out in, though it can feel a little overstimulating. When we visited, it wasn't too busy. There were two employees working and both were friendly and welcoming. Corn milk tea with boba: I ordered this because it sounded different. I was told it leaned sweet, so I chose half sugar. The drink itself was good, but I didn't get much corn flavor. It tasted more like a roasted black tea or Earl Grey milk tea with a slightly nutty and floral note. It was a solid black milk tea, but if you're expecting a strong corn taste, it may be disappointing. It's possible the corn flavor comes more from the syrup, and choosing half sugar reduced that intensity. The boba itself was excellent. It was sweet, bouncy, and cooked perfectly with a good chewy texture. Brown sugar fresh milk with boba: This drink was very sweet. My husband ordered it at standard sweetness and it was sooooo sweet. The brown sugar flavor was strong, and the boba had that classic caramelized sweetness. The texture of the boba was again very well done. If you order this, I would recommend adjusting the sugar level to half. Both drinks together came out to around $13.60, which felt fair for the quality. Parking here is also much easier compared to boba spots on Convoy. It's less crowded, easier to access, and you don't have to deal with long lines. I think this is a solid spot if you want a good milk tea without the stress of busy parking lots or long waits.

    Went here bc my cousins heard good things about their matcha but I don't like matcha so I got this jasmine milk tea instead. It tasted watered down so I wasn't really a fan

    Gotcha Tea House got me hooked! I looove the cuuute Pop Mart themed decor. It has a happy-go-lucky vibe...putting a smile on my face. My inner child thanks you!! I didn't have to wait too long. The service was pretty quick. Their Matcha Latte was sooo fresssh, riiich and deeelish. I have to go back for some more. The Yelp Community gotta go there!!! I gotcha back with this 5-star review.

    I've definitely been in my matcha era over coffee lately and have been wanting to give Gotcha a visit. SO happy we did. The service was super quick and friendly! I got the double matcha with my cousins getting the eispanner and double as well. We preferred the double the most of the two drinks! The eispanner tasted more like milk and cream, we felt the matcha didn't fully come through but the double matcha was 10/10. I'd definitely come back for it!

    The place was really cute with a bunch of claw machines to play. Sucks that the claw machines aren't that strong so you're practically wasting money trying to win a prize. Otherwise the aesthetic is super cute and fun to look at. The biscoff Matcha was alright, it was creamy once you mixed and the cookie added a nice texture and taste to the drink but it sometimes was an off balance. The matcha Eispanner was a basic flavor but was creamy. Overall good experience I will definitely try more flavors.

    This place is such a vibe and flex in all the Popmart plushies; gotcha tea more like gotcha labubus. It is such a cute area to hang out or do some homework in. While waiting for your drink, you definitely get distracted by looking at all the decor throughout the small shop. There are also little claw machines that you can spend money on to kill some time. Regarding the drink, it was delicious. I drank the mango smoothie, and it had just enough mango flavor and was not overly sweet. The consistency was super smooth, and you can even modify what type of milk you prefer for the smoothie. I enjoyed the taste of the boba, which is always a make-or-break for me when it comes to a boba shop; it was cooked to perfection. I do think that the service here is pretty slow. I came around 1:30 pm and felt like I left 30 minutes later with only 3 other people ahead of me. This location is nice, right off the freeway and in a shared plaza where you are not fighting for parking.

    Purple Rice Yogurt
    Winn H.

    On the lookout for a new cafe, I stumbled upon Gotcha Tea. Despite being in a smaller plaza, parking was fairly easy to find. The interior is well decorated though a bit polluted with flashy lights - not that anyone is falling asleep in here! Overall, the vibes are cute and tailored (imo) more towards kids. The tables and chairs in general err on the shorter end - and I'm not that tall. For drinks, I had their Purple Rice Yogurt at 25% sugar. Service was average, and it took about 10 minutes for my drink. The Purple Rice Yogurt was well made; the sourness of yogurt could be tasted, and the bits of purple rice that were present was a good topping - wish there was a bit more. Though parking was easy to find, seating is a bit harder here. There is some outdoor seating, but overall this is a smaller spot.

    Cute and decorative cafe. Great for all ages! They have a couple of card games, board games, and claw machines (additional cost). We ordered at the front and our drinks came out in about 10minutes. There was no wait on a Sunday at 12:15pm. We ordered the chocolate boba smoothie, strawberry match, and ube coffee. The strawberry match was the best! The bobas were fresh and had a great flavor and chew.

    Corn Milk Tea
    Samantha D.

    First time trying Gotcha Tea, ordered the Corn Milk Tea with boba (50% sugar, 50% ice). I was pleasantly surprised at this drink since I've never seen corn as an option for milk tea before. The boba was incredibly sweet so it made the entire drink pretty sweet, which I didn't mind because the boba was made fresh. It literally came out warm in the cold drink!! If I hadn't adjusted the tea sweetness already, it definitely would have been too sweet for my liking. My friend got the House Special Tea (50% sugar) but he didn't end up liking it because it tasted watered down so I finished it. It had a floral aftertaste, but I agree the Corn Milk Tea that I ordered was much better. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to specifically come back to this boba spot again but I do appreciate that it's just two doors down from Pho Duyen Mai and is open until 9pm!

    I had heard about this matcha drink a few different times and finally wanted to try it out. Gotcha tea has such a cute interior with plenty of seating and plushies around to make the atmosphere comforting. They do have a wide selection of boba and tea but I was here for the matcha einspanner It definitely did not disappoint and the taste and quality of the matcha was a perfect midday pick me up! Can't wait to come back and try some boba tea next time

    matcha einspanner
    Angie H.

    This place has the best matcha einspänner I've had so far in San Diego. It's super smooth, rich, and creamy with a beautiful matcha color. It is on the pricier side (around $9 with oat milk), but I think it's worth it for the quality. Their strawberry matcha is really good as well. They have small tables with seating, though I don't think it's the best spot for working or studying. A nice touch is that they always have fresh flowers out, which makes the space feel welcoming. The only con is that there's usually just one person working the front, so they're taking orders AND making drinks at the same time. It can take a bit for drinks to come out, but overall, it's still worth the wait.

    Matcha einspanner
    Liz B.

    I gave this boba shop a try after the line at the coffee shop next door was too long. I ordered the matcha einspanner, and while it looked pretty, the matcha flavor was underwhelming. The cream foam on top also had a nutty flavor which I personally was not a fan of. I also tried some of my friend's gotcha tea, and it was aggressively syrupy and strong, I don't think I would have been able to finish it. Our cashier was nice, but they seemed understaffed for a Sunday morning. There were around 8 people waiting for drinks and it seemed like only one person was working, both taking orders and making drinks. Our drinks took around 20 minutes to come out. The interior has cute decorations and they also have claw machines.

It was so good I've recommended it to a bunch of people, so I decided to check out the original Kearny Mesa spot out of respect. In my head, the first location should be even better since that's where it started, but that wasn't the case at all and it ended up being pretty disappointing. I ordered online and it showed a 19 minute wait for just a drink, which felt long for around 6:30 in the morning. I placed it anyway, but when I got there the plaza was basically empty. It's in a quieter area near military and recruitment offices. My drink was already sitting at the pickup counter with my name on it, so I was in and out in seconds. There is some outdoor seating with music playing, which is nice, but I didn't stay long. I ordered the same matcha I got in Mission Valley because it was that memorable. The only difference was dairy milk instead of oat milk, but that shouldn't have changed it this much. The color was the first red flag. It was super light, almost pale green, instead of that bright vibrant green you expect from good matcha. You can usually tell quality just from that. The taste didn't match either. The Mission Valley one had a strong matcha flavor with a slight sweetness from the date syrup, and the knafeh cold foam pulled everything together. This one tasted weak and kind of flat. The cold foam was still good and tasted the same, but that's only a small part of the drink and not enough to save it. Now I'm honestly confused because I've been recommending this drink to people and if they came to this location first, their experience would be completely different. It just didn't live up to what I had before. I'll probably go back to the Mission Valley spot to see if that version is actually the standard, but this one left me pretty let down.

    Wow surprisingly really delicious, more tea forward milk tea. I ordered the Camellia Black Tea with…read moreoat milk and honey boba and it was absolutely delicious! I've been here twice already, and it really hit the spot both times. I like how customizable everything is You can tell the staff works hard because it's the same person who takes your order and makes your drink. Of course, the drinks are on the pricier side, and having to pay an extra dollar for oat milk, but it is what it is. At least you can customize the milk! It's a great location given how it's right next to Daiso and the freeway. I'd say this is one of my favorite places to get boba now because of the quality and how tea-forward the drinks are, which is what I prefer personally. Highly recommend!

    After having lunch nearby, my husband and I stopped by this boba tea shop for some drinks. I am so…read moreglad that we did because the drinks here were super good. It is clear that they use high quality, loose leaf tea with real sweeteners. The teas tasted natural without any artificial powder or syrup. Chrysanthemum Milk Tea had a floral and delicate taste that I really enjoyed. Barley Milk Tea had a nice nutty flavor. I highly recommend adding the honey boba topping with any drink. The boba was so soft and chewy and delicious. Also really liked the vibes of this shop. There is a decent amount of seating inside, as well as card games and board games that are free to use. The tables were clean, staff was friendly, and service was quick. I would love to see a Camellia Rd location open up in LA someday.
