YOGART @ NORTH PARK SAN DIEGO…read more Parking here is all street parking, so it can definitely be a little difficult to find a spot, especially during busier hours in North Park. Luckily, after driving around for a few minutes, I was able to find free parking not too far away, so it ended up working out pretty well. I stopped by here with a friend because we were craving something sweet after dinner, and honestly this place was such a cute little find. The lady working was incredibly sweet and welcoming from the moment we walked in, which made the experience even better. They had a really good variety of yogurt flavors and toppings to choose from, and everything looked fresh and well stocked. I ended up trying a couple different flavors with fruit and candy toppings, and everything tasted super yummy. The yogurt itself was really creamy and flavorful without being overly sweet, which I liked a lot. The shop was clean, organized, and had a really relaxed atmosphere overall. Even though it was fairly busy when we came in, it still felt comfortable and the service stayed friendly the whole time. Between the tasty flavors, huge topping selection, and kind service, I'd definitely come back whenever I'm in the area craving frozen yogurt again.

I love how this place offers frozen yogurt, açaí bowls, smoothies, milkshakes, and boba/milk teas…read more I've been a couple of times now, and had both the frozen yogurt and the boba options, and they are really good! The boba is very comparably priced with other boba shops. They do offer a couple of other add ins as well, my favorite always being the egg pudding. The employees are efficient and really hustle to make the drinks and bowls quickly. The decor adds for a very playful nice, and one that draws in the kids

AVOID!! I love…read moresupporting small businesses and really wanted to like this place so I can return and send others, BUT too many issues... 1) Employees aren't familiar nor clear with ingredients, which is problematic for a diabetic 2) Basic jasmine milk tea was just shy of $10 for a large, marketed as 32oz but was quite a bit short. See pic of my 32oz Hydro Flask (she did top it off after explaining that she knew the cups weren't a full 32 ounces -of course I had to question the size first). When I asked about it, the owner seemed to know that their cups are smaller than the advertised amount but because, according to her, that's how it was marketed to them by the supplier, they didn't change it. Again, this is problematic to me. If you know the supplier is short changing you, and my guess is because you went with the cheapest cup (which may also mean inferior plastic for unwitting consumers), why in the world wouldn't you remeasure and advertise it correctly??!!! You've lost my trust in exchange for a quick buck. I'd prefer honesty. 3) Worst offense... within 30 minutes of drinking, I started feeling unwell and getting bloated. Clearly indicates to me that they either didn't disclose some mysterious ingredient or there was a problem with their sanitation somewhere -unfortunately I didn't watch her make it. Prior to this happening and me now stuck on the couch in pain, I was going to give them an extra star for quick service. It's a little shop in a small strip mall, clean enough in the table areas but unsure about the back. I didn't check reviews before walking in because somebody nearby had recommended it to me -a stranger, and I figured how bad can a boba shop be, obviously MY mistake. Gotta check YELP before I go anywhere. Had I read previous reviews, especially the one star recently about using chemicals in the same sink they make drinks from with TAP water, I would have never entered. On top of this, the taste was one of the worst milk teas I've ever had. Tasted like milk powder than real milk. AVOID!!

Gelato or Boba Ice Tea? Well, the overcast weather sure doesn't call for a brain freeze, and I…read morecould use some thirst quenching. A Thai Milk Tea with 50% sweetness should do the trick. The racks of yummy-lookin' Mochi Donuts was so inviting too but I had to say no because they're not gluten-free, so my restraint was justified. I have been to Boba shops before where the percentage of ice fills close to, if not half the cup. Gelabong took it upon themselves to fill mine with about 25%, maybe even a tad less without me requesting lite ice. This means I have more tea to enjoy without too much dilution. The place looks clean, smells subtly delicious and they have an instagramable white bench in front of a gray leafy wall outside. Lots of drinks to choose from. Dalgona world be one I would try next time.

Heh...Taiwanese Professional Tea they say? Let's just say I definitely felt like a Taiwanese…read moreProfessional after drinking their tea. Inside the building, I was greeted by a plump, circular, brown figure with a smile on his face. He had a delightful yellow satchel on, a matching beret, and a yummy-yummy-in-my-tummy-looking milk tea in his left hand. The warm atmosphere made me feel like I was being hugged by the figure himself. When I laid my eyes on him, I didn't just want him, I wanted to BE him. A voluptuous tapioca pearl with a constant smile. I was determined to do whatever it took to become him. The first step was to acquire the same drink he had in his left hand, which I assumed to be a Jasmine Green Milk Tea with 70% sugar, less ice, and boba. One particularly sweet lady delivered me my drink by hand. One, two, three sips later--the Jasmine Green Milk Tea with 70% sugar, less ice, and boba didn't just hit my tastebuds, it hit my soul. I could tell that the tea, the architecture, even the workers were birthed by certified Taiwanese Professionals. EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING, was exceptionally creamy as one might say. I felt one step closer to being Mr. Tai Wan himself. (my self-proclaimed name for the voluptuous tapioca pearl). Later that day, I picked up a yellow bag and hat from the nearby Burlington. I looked in the mirror, with my Jasmine Green Milk Tea with 70% sugar, less ice, and boba in my left hand. I grinned at the thought that one day I will become a voluptuous tapioca pearl. I owe my life to Mr. Tai Wan and TPTEA. Thank you.......for everything...or should I say....xie xie. I WILL be coming back, for the tea AND Mr. Tai Wan.

3-4 stars. I wouldn't say it's particularly charming as the interior was quite dark and the front…read moreof the space was riddled with AI posters of drinks. Compared to the name of the spot, the interior felt like it belonged to a night time sushi spot. I'm not sure if they are allowed to repaint the interior, but changing the black/dark blue walls to something more bright would open up the space a little more-- it is a small place, but felt even smaller with the design choice. The menu was organized, but it seems like they were out of a few items in the morning as they didn't have mini pearls--only regular. And for some reason, you couldn't change the sweetness level on the drink...or maybe it just related to the drink I chose? Not sure, it was my first time there. The worker was nice & patient. Although for not having many people in the shop, I hope they could take the time to perfect their boba. It was VERY clumpy and not good-- texturally and taste wise. It didn't have that rich brown sugar taste and it was very gooey and chewy (not in a good way). They did give a good amount of boba, but I feel most people would toss it out because of the bad quality. Which would be a waste of money. To drink, I chose the Hokkaido Milk Tea with Pearls. I wanted to do 50 or 75% sweet but I guess since this is a caramel noted milk tea, it isn't possible. I think the tea was ok. I would order something else next time. My friend had the Okinawa Milk Tea with Pearls, I'm unsure if they asked for a certain sweetness level or not. They said the tea was good, but the pearls weren't good. Something to note, I charged the drinks on my card and rather than saying Sayaka Tea, it said Sharetea...interesting. I wonder if they rebranded themselves or ?? Each drinks were around ~$7-8 ish! I'll give them another try, I hope the boba will be better the next time around and I'll be allowed to change the sweetness. If not, I'll be heading a little further down the street as this tea spot may not be for me!

Their menu has a huge selection of teas, milk teas, smoothies, and other drinks, so narrowing it down to just one was definitely the hardest part. We ended up getting Mango, Taro and Ube Smoothies, and all were delicious. They were refreshing and exactly what we needed after spending a hot day walking around the city. In fact, we came back twice. It actually would've been three times if our first visit had worked out. We arrived before the posted closing time, but the employee told us they were already closed. Maybe the hours listed were incorrect, but it was a little confusing. Other than that small hiccup, we had a great experience. The drinks were consistently good, the location was convenient, and we'll definitely stop by again the next time we're in San Diego.

It's a good place to sit and talk. It was $16.17 for both drinks. Strawberry Yakult (3.5/5) - I got this with less ice and 75% sweetness. It had a tangy, slightly sour flavor because of the Yakult. The strawberry flavor isn't very strong. Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie (4.5/5) - I liked this one a lot more! The yogurt flavor wasn't too strong, and the strawberry flavor was nice. I liked how there was strawberry purée on the sides of the cup. I got crystal boba in both drinks. It was nice and chewy. I'd recommend this place.

Five stars all the way around the Thai tea was delicious and the sandwich was amazing…read more Came in today to try this place for the first time and my first impression was really good. Everything looks clean, modern, and they have digital menus, plenty of drinks, and great customer service. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. The sandwiches are $8.50, which I think is a pretty good price. They're also running a TikTok promotion through September 4 2026 "Saigon Sandwiches & Deli" tik tok user name , so make sure to check them out and follow them there. If you like roasted pork, I recommend trying that sandwich. That's the one I had and really enjoyed. They also have shrimp, spring rolls, pork patty, and other options. They also offer catering, which is good to know if you're planning a party or event. Overall, really good first experience. I'd definitely come back and give them 5 stars. can't wait to try.
