They have a few tables for indoor seating. We ordered at the front counter. The girl at the register was nice. We got the taro smoothie, the honeydew smoothie and a lychee bliss fruit tea. Our drinks came out in a timely manner and each was delicious! The smoothies were of perfect consistency, not icy and flavorful to the end. The boba was warm, nice and chewy. The lychee bliss was good too, just the right amount of sweetness. Refreshing. It's definitely a great place for boba and highly recommend!

The newest outpost of Tea Monks is a food court stand at the Westfield Plaza Bonita. There are…read morethree other locations of this bubble tea chain in SD County, but this one happens to be the closest which was still a drive of nearly 15 miles. Most of the drinks were offered in three different sizes... 16, 24, and 33 oz. Toppings were $0.75 each which is about par nowadays. Milk Tea, Hot Tea, Flavored Tea, Iced Fruitaro, Fruit Smoothies, Lemonades, Slushies, and a Blended Series were the categories. Five types of Macaron Ice Cream sandwiches were also sold. My choice was a 24 oz Rose Peach Green Tea with regular sweetness, 50% ice, and honey boba pearls added. The blend was very fragrant from the rose component. I seldom see this option with fruit teas at other places. The boba pearls could have been cooked longer to soften them. The processing time to make my drink wasn't very long. There was at least one other boba tea shop within this sprawling mall so there is competition under the same roof. My initial experience with Tea Monks was worth a four star rating.

A couple of times it's overloaded with sugar compared to her actual request, in which she end up not liking it and giving it to me. I don't like "happy" lemon. There was a time when our order was ready. For some reason, no one called out our number. We decided to ask if our order was ready. And as mentioned, it was just sitting on the counter waiting to be called. The place is always busy especially during the weekend. The area where they make the drinks and the floor, needs some cleaning to be done. Suggestions to the owner or manager of this location, make sure the customer receives the order they requested correctly, no attitude is needed toward the customers, as you work at a customer service oriented industry , and keep the area clean throughout the day.

I usually get the Thai milk tea or the mango cream slush and they are both delicious every time. I usually order online and just pick it up, but they also have kiosks and the cashier inside if you want to order there. Most of the time my order is ready by the pickup time, but there have been a few times where they hadn't started it yet and I had to wait a bit. Overall, the staff is really friendly and welcoming whenever I visit. I definitely prefer this location over the Convoy one, and it's been my go to boba spot since 2023!

Either offer it for free or option to buy like GongCha. I didn't like they gave a plushie to someone that didn't order milk tea right in front of me! I kept it to myself but thought it was rude to then tell me I had to order 3 drinks. Service wasn't terribly friendly but ok. Not coming back to this location. Had to ask to separate hot food from my cold drinks which they did. They do have great selection of other drinks and the food options are very good and reasonably priced. I was a huge KFT fan for the KM loc on Convoy where they always had lines for a good stretch. But they couldn't compete with all the newer boba spots and closed.

Hi, My complaint is…read morethat the lady (owner?) who spoke to me and my accompanying party to get drinks was rlly rude... We had issues with the ipad to self-order (it was glitching or something) and we let her know. And instead of her just taking our order in person at the front counter then and there, she said in an annoying tone, "WhAt dO yOu WaNt/NeEd?" And then after rudely pointing to the other ipad (near the entrance) to do our order there, she just left abruptly back into the kitchen.... probably to do nothing but sit there. Its giving "annoyed teen working at a dead-end high school job"... ... Also, her English sucks ngl (￣。￣ﾉ)ﾉ

My go to is the Classic Side Chick with their house spicy aioli on the side. The Hot Chick is VERY spicy. I can handle heat, but having the sauce on the side is much more enjoyable in my opinion. You get to appreciate the crispy chicken, the fresh toppings, and the sandwich as a whole without the spice overpowering everything. If you're looking for a spot that consistently delivers a great chicken sandwich, this place absolutely hits the mark.

Short version: "Side Chic was sooo good I got the fried chicken sandwich, fries, and a chicken Caesar salad. Everything tasted fresh, crispy, and flavorful. The fries were addicting lol definitely coming back!"
