Half sugar Boba Milk tea tastes yummy. I can taste flavor of milk and tea. Authentic! Everything meets the expectations from a SoCal traveler. read more

Their boba isn't bad but it's the LONGGGG wait time that I absolutely despise at this location. The first time I came here, I waited 15 minutes. They seemed busy the first time but I came back for a second time, I waited almost 30 minutes (no exaggeration) for 1 singular drink. DO NOT COME HERE unless you have 20+ minutes to kill. read more

I ran in here for a quick Thai tea with boba on a Sunday afternoon. It was quiet inside with only two people eating. The cashier was nice and attentive. She made my order quickly and it tasted great. I will say that if you don't like a very sweet Thai tea then this may not be for you. I just thought it was perfect! read more

Phresh Teas - IV location - Bubble Tea Near Me - Isla Vista, California

Phresh Teas is always so FRESH! Next to Mojos, this location & the hollister location is my go to boba spot in the Santa Barbara area! I am so glad they opened this location in IV! The store shares its location with Kaiju. If you're looking to satisfy your boba craving, this is the spot! Especially if you live in IV! I recommend getting the Passion Fruit Paradise & Taro Milk Tea. Both are super tasty & affordable! read more

Absolutely love this place. We've been to the Phresh Tea off Hollister so we thought we'd visit the new location in IV. DRINKS: The drinks were well worth the price. We ordered the Hokkaido with boba, Watermelon Green Tea, Peach Green Tea with mango popping boba (pretty good combo), and the matcha milk tea. We weren't able to order as many food items since the menu wasn't available online (don't worry I took care of that). FOOD: The only item ordered was the pork cutlet sandwich. I wish it has a sauce or something else to spice it up but pork was good. STAFF: The staff was helpful and worked hard to get my order ready! He mentioned there are new items coming soon so I'll be sure to come back to try them. IV/UCSB folks, go on and get your tasty drinks! read more

Figured me and my bf would grab something to drink on our way to the beach and after doing some yelping for what's in the area, we decided on Phresh Teas. They are located in the Kaiju Ramen shop. Overall, our order came out pretty mediocre. I got a lychee green tea with boba at standard sweetness and he got a peach green tea with boba at 50% sweetness. I could taste the lychee flavor in my tea but the drink felt like it had a watered down flavor. Meanwhile, I couldn't even recognize what flavor his peach green tea was? Not sure if that's a sweetness problem but it literally tasted like slightly flavored water. Despite all of that, we ended up finishing our drinks because not trying to waste drinks but would've been more enjoyable if they came out more flavorful. The toppings were solid though and I appreciated the service and the location being covid conscious. read more

Phresh Teas - IV location - peach green tea and lychee green tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Isla Vista, California

Would give 0 if I can. Consistently terrible wait times for a place with rarely much of a line. Drinks are underwhelming and the wait staff is pretty rude and definitely wastes their time. Half the time that I come here end up waiting 30 minutes to 45 for a single boba with maybe only a couple people who had ordered before me. This is a place with three baristas read more

coming from the sgv (which is arguably the CAPITAL of boba), this place is up there with the greats. best boba spot in iv. boba is sweet and chewy, and the teas ACTUALLY taste like tea. literally so good and my go to spot in isla vista when im missing boba from home read more

I didn't physically go into this spot since I was illegally parked next to a curb waiting for my girlfriend to come back with our drinks, but I did get to enjoy the experience. Sure, the drinks and food were good, but I also got to be a local for 5 minutes. You know, watching bros of different skin colors skate around in their cutoff shirts and maskless faces. It was a nice reminder of the privilege that young college students walk around with! #GetVaccinated The drink I got was especially good. The matcha green tea was great! Not too overpowering, yet smooth while striking a perfect balance of bitterness & sweetness. I tasted the peach green tea and it was really good as well. Not too sweet, but perfectly refreshing! Like... if I wanted to get something NOT so flavorful, I would've ordered... I dunno, a drink with 50% sweetness. Isn't a sweet beverage with less sweetness just flavored water?? I don't get the complaint. "Um... yeah let me get the strawberry ice tea, but can you go 50% on the strawberry? But hey, I still want it to be flavorful though!" Wut. Pork cutlet sandwich was good (albeit a little dry) and their little homemade chips that go with it are hella good. I ate all of it as well, but not because I didn't want to be wasteful, but because it was good. read more

Ever worked in their other location, I'm so glad they bring PHRESH TEAS to IV! And I found that they add a lot of new drinks to the menu! Personal favorite drink: For fruit tea, I love citrus lemon(they squeeze whole fresh lemon to make the drink which is so good, I love sour taste, so I prefer 50% sweetness). For Milk Tea/Milk, I love Hokkaido Milk Tea and Ube(Taro) Milk Tea, which are non-dairy! And dirty latte is also good option, it has honey boba inside with fresh brown sugar milk. Also they have Taro Milk, which one they use real sweet steamed taro to make the drink! For Smoothies/Slush, they are all taste good for me lol,but it takes time to make it cause it is a little complicated hahaha. Personal suggestions for choosing topping: If you order milk/milk tea, it is better with all the topping, especially Boba. But if you order fruit tea, it is better with Aloe, Lychee jelly, rainbow Jelly. Also, Cheese foam(Cheese flavor whipping cream) is good to add into jasmine green tea. The store is inside Kaiju, don't miss out! They also have a lot of appetizers, rice bowl, Ramen to choose! read more

This is my favorite boba place in IV and the workers are always really nice and fast !! :))) (I get the matcha smoothie w lychee popping boba and it is sooooooooo good) read more

Love my tai tea come her almost every other day never disappointed great customer service

On Yelp shown they open but actually they are closed on Monday need to update business hours so don't wasted

I called the store several times to placing order, no one answer. Came to store, it was empty. First time try this place. I was the first one to order. While the girl was doing my drinks. Four more customers came in. She stopped making my drinks and taking order. Another girl that worked there, didn't bother to help out. Just sit and chit chat with a guy. Didn't even apologize keeping us waiting on our drinks. Very slow and not friendly. read more

Used to be really great and consistent but their service has gotten so disorganized in the past few days. Waited over 45 minutes to be told they lost my receipt and had no recollection of my order. Won't be going here again. read more

Took over 30 minutes to get two drinks made and the restaurant was empty. Very disappointed in the service and hope to see an improvement in the speed because that is insane to wait this long. read more
