The boba here is excellent, and the staff are always friendly, attentive, and provide great customer service. Unfortunately, my experience with the Bubble Waffles has been extremely disappointing. Over the past month, I have visited three separate times specifically hoping to enjoy what I consider some of the best Bubble Waffles near Terra Nova. Each visit has ended the same way. I was told the waffle machine was down. Today, I stopped by again in the early afternoon, hoping to finally get a Bubble Waffle, and once again learned that the machine was still broken. At this point, it has become frustrating as a loyal customer who enjoys both the boba and the Bubble Waffles. While I appreciate the staff's professionalism, the ongoing issue with the waffle machine is costing you business sales and creating a disappointing customer experience. I sincerely hope management addresses and repairs the machine soon. I'd love to continue supporting this business, but repeated visits without being able to purchase one of their signature items are becoming discouraging. Please bring the Bubble Waffles back! read more

R&B Tea - Terra Nova - Winter melon Green Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Was tired after a long weekend and desperately looking for higher quality tea as a pick me up, and happily found it at R&B. We were in Chula Vista at Olympic training center and found this San Diego location on Yelp. Recognized this brand from my last visit to Singapore where it's a very popular and respected. Thankfully the jasmine tea I ordered wasnt bitter, even with no sugar and no milk and just one lightly sweetened topping (grass jelly). Service was very helpful and prompt. Lots of parking and convenient location. I sure do miss my local favorites (Yi Fang and Wanpo) when traveling but very happy to find a place that knows their tea. read more

I decided to check out this boba shop and I'm really glad I did. It is a little tucked away in the shopping area, so it feels like one of those hidden gems you only find by chance. When I walked in, the place immediately felt inviting. It was clean, bright, and had a relaxing atmosphere that made you want to stay for a bit. One thing I noticed right away was their tablet ordering system. It made it really easy to browse the menu and place my drink order without feeling rushed. Super convenient and user friendly, especially if you like to take your time deciding on flavors. There was only one employee working when I arrived, a young girl who was handling everything by herself. Even with a couple of orders ahead of me, she moved quickly and stayed focused. You could tell she was doing her best to keep up with the small rush and get everyone's drinks out as fast as possible. Her effort and attitude really stood out. I ordered the strawberry lemonade with crystal boba and it was honestly incredible. Refreshing, flavorful, and one of those drinks you finish quicker than you expect because it tastes that good. The mix of sweet strawberry and the bounce from the crystal boba was perfect. Overall, this spot is absolutely worth checking out. It may be a little hidden, but it is definitely worth finding. Between the convenient tablet ordering, the friendly service, and the delicious drinks, I would recommend this shop to anyone in the area. I would gladly come back the next time I am nearby. read more

I always try to stop by R&B tea if I am near one. There aren't many in San Diego so it's always a treat if I can get my favorite drink: brown sugar boba milk. Brown sugar boba milk - my favorite! The fresh milk is so tasty and mixed with a salted cheese foam with brown sugar. (Do not adjust the sweetness down or it won't be as flavorful.) Some other R&B locations offer this is a XL size for $2 more, but not this location. The worker was friendly and made our drinks fast during a weekday afternoon. Parking is plentiful and free in large lot. read more

R&B Tea - Terra Nova - Dragonfruit mango green tea with crystal boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Drinks and boba are good (yakult drinks are my favorite) and consistent but the customer service is lacking. The staff here just don't seem to care about their jobs. The last time I came here I waited for several minutes to be helped and when she finally arrived at the counter, she said nothing to acknowledge my wait. There was another time I came here and I again waited for a few minutes to be helped. I thought there was nobody at the register. Turns out the guy had been literally sitting there on his phone, and had no idea I was even standing there right in front of him. Get off your phone! It's not a good look!! read more

Small shop but with a variety of drink options. I like how they have a kiosk you can order from. Was hoping they had seasonal drinks but they didn't. We got the chocolate oreo stormy and one of their lychee drinks. Both were refreshing but would probably choose different drinks next time. read more

This place is tucked away into this plaza...ok maybe not tucked away but the sign can seem a bit tucked away compared to the other stores next to it coming off h street. Anyways, R&B had such a cute vibe to it, we were greeted upon entering. They have a good variety of drinks. We got the dragon fruit mango green tea and the Vietnamese coffee. The worker helped me pick as I was torn between two options but I'm happy I got the tea because it was so good ! My partner loved the Vietnamese coffee. We both rated them 10/10. Would and WILL definitely return for more drinks in the future ! read more

R&B Tea - Terra Nova - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I've been to the Otay Ranch location once and got the hoikkado milk tea with boba, and they didn't give me boba and tasted insanely sweet. This is my first time at this location at Terra Nova, and I wish I hadn't. I got the strawberry matcha latte, fresh taro milk tea, and strawberry black tea. Safe to say I will not come back here. None of the kids finished their drinks, and neither did I. Here is my honest review. Strawberry matcha latte with boba 0/10 Fresh taro milk tea with crystal boba 5/10 Strawberry black tea with lychee jelly 6/10 The strawberry matcha latte was a horrific experience. It was not a milky matcha latte with hints of strawberry and strawberry pieces I was hoping for. Instead, it was almost a grainy texture, tasted downright sour. The strawberry puree or the strawberry component that they used was tart and sour. The strawberry flavor overpowered the matcha because I didn't taste any matcha whatsoever. The boba pearls had a nice chew, but it was hard in the center. If I was blindfolded and had to try and guess the flavor, I would probably say spoiled strawberry yakult??? This has to be the worst drink I've tasted in my life. I might be traumatized. I asked if the taro milk tea had actual pieces of taro since it said fresh, but no, it didn't. Her response was, "It's just a powder." It did not taste like taro one bit. The jasmine flavor overpowered the taro, and it tasted like jasmine milk tea, but purple in color. Although it was not bad, it was definitely not taro. The crystal boba was all floating, weirdly. It tasted alright but wouldn't recommend it. The strawberry black tea with lychee jelly was okay. It tasted slightly tart, but after the ice melted, it tasted better. The lychee jelly has a chewy texture like coconut jelly you buy from the grocery store but in lychee syrup. This was an ok drink , but it wouldn't be my first choice to get it here. read more

R&B Tea was my go to boba spot for my drinks when they were open in Convoy. After that plaza was closed due to some fire, I am glad that this location here exists! It is smaller compared to its Convoy counterpart that had more seating and lounge space. This one is more of a grab and go and with a self-ordering screen near the entrance if you want to avoid ordering at the counter. I decided on a Roasted Oolong Cream Tea and my boyfriend ordered a Brown Rice Tea. The tea flavor was prominent and the sweetness was adjusted well. The tea options here are plentiful as well as milk based drinks, fruit teas, and snacks like bubble waffle. They used to have a Tiramisu foam at the Convoy location that I wish they offered here. Although I wasn't sure, there definitely were some changes to the menu. Good to know that R&B Tea is still around and I would stop by for tea again. read more

Came here for the grand opening and the man behind the counter was super nice. Great customer service. They have a wide range of drink selection and for a good price.

Enjoyed my standard milk tea with boba from this R&B location. Able to order through iPad system or at the register, customize all items including sweetness and ice. I found the 50% sweet was good. Pearls have the correct texture and sweetness although not as much quantity put in each cup as other places which would be the only improvement. Tea was not from powder and had nice flavor. Although enjoyed I think their fruit based teas are even better. Drink was ready in just a couple mins, would return! About $7 all in for the drink read more

Went here a couple months ago and went out of my comfort zone with a refreshing passion fruit green tea. I got it with the recommended aloe vera because it was explained to me that the aloe helps keep the tea cold (boba is warm so it will naturally warm up the tea, too). He made sense, and I'm glad I followed the recommendation! Although it's been a while, I still think about that yummy tea and will be back. read more

R&B Tea - Terra Nova - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Now that there finally is a boba/ bubble tea place conveniently located during my commute from work to home, I look forward to lighten my wallet and gaining weight. I'm ecstatic that this place has finally opened. I had seen the coming soon banner for months. They had a Grand Opening on March 26th with Lion Dancers and Buy 1 & Get 1 Free just for that day. The tea spot is tucked between Robek Juice & Smoothies and Cold Stone Creamery in the Terra Nova Plaza. Which also means there is plenty of parking spots. The place is quaint with 3 table that can seat 6 people in total. There is a front windowsill table that seats 3. Sadly, no public bathroom. I had dropped by again today to get my boba fix. So far, my favorite is still Honeydew Stormy- taste like the honeydew Melona ice bar - yummy! All the other beverages has been good except Frosty Fruit Passionfruit Milk Tea wasn't to my liking. To be honest, I have never heard of the Frosty Fruit teas before and I'm not sure if they gave me the right one... The cashier was confused about it when I had order it. But this was during the Grand Opening, with the loud and long crowds. I may order that one again, because the one they gave me taste like a regular milk tea. Nothing frosty about it. read more

Super excited that there is a R&B in this area. My go to order is usually the house milk tea and my husband tends to favor the stormy series. Their boba has the right amount of texture and sweetness to it, which goes perfect with my milk tea. read more

I usually go to the r&b tea in Otay, but decided to give this a try since it's a lot closer to me. The place is very clean and aesthetic as well. I have tried the dragon fruit stormy and decided to try the frosty passion fruit milk tea. Both are good, but the dragonfruit stormy will always be my favorite. The passion fruit milk tea has a strong black tea base with a hint of passion fruit so if you want a stronger milk tea flavor then this is the drink for you. With that being said, the stormy series is honestly a must try. It's a blended drink with condensed milk around the cup and it's soooo good. The Thai tea stormy is very sweet at 100% sweetness so be aware if you don't have a sweet tooth! The boba itself is soft and sweet which enhances the drink itself so there's never a lack of flavor. Lastly, the service is very nice. The baristas are very welcoming and greet customers that come in. There's also a self serving ordering system where you can customize your own drinks and order from there. You can pay at the counter or at the booth where you can pay touch-less. I do recommend that you either print or have your receipt texted to you as the system doesn't provide your order number if you ask for no receipt. This is no doubt going to be my favorite and go to boba place. It's extremely convenient too because it's right by SWC and the freeway exit/entrance. I love boba and have tried many places before. This place has reasonable prices and the quality is great. The menu selection is also great because there's a lot to choose from. What I recommend: the stormy series What to consider: some drinks are very sweet and some aren't so be careful with choosing your sweetness level. read more

Clean and neat and simple design place. Boba is soft and chewy! Very good! I ordered none sweet taro stormy with boba. Love that it's not packed with fake sugar. My husband's 30% sweetness matcha milk tea was excellent too. They only have 1 size available. Also no restroom for customer so it's more of a grab and go place even though they have seatings. Will be back for another drink some time since I live 2 miles away only! read more

Poor service experience: be prepared for a long wait. I ordered two fruit drinks and it took an abnormally long time for them to make it. The store was mostly empty, all of the other customers having their drinks already. I knew that my drinks were the only ones in queue. I sat there for more than 20 minutes just for two drinks. It was a boy and a girl working, probably in their early 20s. Once they finally handed me my drinks, they gave a half-baked "sorry for the wait" while laughing and giggling in my face. I assume that during the time they were supposed to make my drinks, they were playing around with each other. I wouldn't be as mad if it were packed and if I had more time for their antics, but it was getting late and I wanted to go home. Prior to this experience, I was met with great customer service from other workers. read more

I am ultra happy R&B finally opened at Terra Nova. I work in the same shopping area so seeing the "Coming Soon" sign for months was agonizing. To my dismay, I was not in town the weekend of the grand opening, boohoo. Luckily, I was able to take advantage of the BOGO during the week. What a generous way to welcome customers! I am in there probably once a week if not more. I've bought so much for my coworkers and friends and of course for ME haha. The drinks are not overly sweet and I can taste the tea. My fav are kumquat and passion fruit, both very refreshing. The mangonada has a good kick! I don't do dairy so all the fruit teas are perfect for me. I hope eventually they will expand and offer online orders too. They already have a screen for online orders inside the store. I wish the staff the very best in their success. Every visit is most positive and 5-star service. read more

This place is so far but when I'm in the area, I swing by and pick up a few drinks, otherwise my daughter would swing by to pick some drinks up for us! With a surplus of boba shops opening around me, I love that this is all inclusive where me and my girls can all het what we want, whether it's milk tea, or a fruity refreshing drink! My go to is the dragonfruit mango green tea, zero sugar, add crustal boba and lychee jelly, the jelly and crystal boba gives it the right amount of sweetness where my 7 year old still really enjoys the drink. I usually get 2 drinks for myself so I can have an extra drink for the following day.. this has been the only boba spot to really hit the spot when it comes to my tea c read more
