Stopped by Tastea for a quick grab & go bev before heading to the beach and tried their new line of drinks! Avocado Coconut Dream - blended avocado, coconut milk, and whole milk with mochi sago. Mango Coconut Dream - blended mango, jasmine green tea, and coconut milk with mochi sago. We got both medium sweet and it was perfect. The avocado was my favorite. It tasted just like the smoothies my mom used to make me! The mochi cubes and sago were delicious - chewy, bouncy, and so fun for anyone who loves texture. Service was quick, and it was the perfect, refreshing pick-me-up for a beach day! read more

What ?? They are not going to fill it up when you order less ice and charge you more if you want to fill it up . It's just water !! GETTING GREEDY ! Your margin of profit is already high . Give us a break . Sad to say I will stop coming to your shop . read more

Finding ways to stay cool in this summer heat, I found Tastea while shopping in the Mira Mesa area. It's a casual boba shop with several tables inside. Parking is super easy and plentiful. Most people seem to get their order to go. The menu consists of a variety of flavored iced teas, bobas, smoothies, slushies, and a few hot snacks. Their drinks come in 2 sizes. I like how the menu includes the ingredients and calories for each drink. Their prices are slightly higher than other boba shops. They charge more if you ask for less ice (seems more boba shops are doing this which is a bit annoying). Overall our drinks tasted good. read more

It's been a long time since I've been here. I ordered the lychee peachee drink and my friends ordered the mango all the way and lychee freeze. They were all very good and refreshing. I'm glad I didn't add any boba to my drink because the lychee bits were more than enough. Glad this place is still consistent with its flavors and taste. read more

Tastetea is a boba tea and smoothie shop near Edward's cinema (in the strip mall across from it) on MiraMesa. They craft some delicious teas and smoothies and i got to try their Mango Coconut Dream, which was spectacular. Good spot to stop by if you're craving some boba tea and with a lot of parking nearby, its hassle free. read more

Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place for boba since I didn't get the boba in my drink. I would recommend that you TRIPLE CHECK you are getting what you ordered though. I ordered a peach me tea with honey boba and I realized it didn't have boba. I showed the label to the cashier and asked about this. She asked if she could give me boba in a separate cup. I said yes, and I left after putting my boba in. I realized after leaving that the boba itself didn't taste sweetened. I think they just gave me the regular boba instead of honey boba. At that point, it wasn't worth going back to see if they could get it right. I know mistakes happen, but I really wish they would have at least given me the actual honey boba I ordered, if not offered to put the boba in the drink for me. There are so many other boba shops in the neighborhood, so if you're looking for boba I would try someplace else. read more

Was in the area and decided to stop here for some boba tea for something refreshing to cool off with. I usually like grapefruit fruit teas but since they didn't have it in their menu, I decided to try their peachy lychee tea. It was pretty good! I heard their fried chicken is delicious so I'll have to try that next time. read more

Honestly I love this place. I'm from the LA area and there's a lot of locations over there so coming here is always really comforting. I've tried a lot on the menu and it's all really good. You can always adjust your sweetness level with any drink. I like the bootea shaker, banana coffee, tiger milk tea, strawberry milk tea, the list goes on lol their boba is always so soft and chewy. It's a staple place in my routine for sure. I wish they would open more locations! It's not your typical aesthetic place but they always play good music and there's a small seating area. People seem to get their drink and leave but once in a while you'll see a group of friends hanging out. Overall I highly recommend as there's a lot of different options on the menu and drinks are always good :) read more

I don't understand some of the mediocre reviews - our drinks were super Tastea (ha ha), the shop was clean, full of customers, with a large, creative menu! I was feeling like a tea so we stopped in. My partner wasn't going to get one himself, but once he saw the menu, he couldn't resist. I got the Great White (peach white tea) with no added sugar and I asked for regular boba. The cashier said their were green, but taste like the traditional brown ones. They are called "honey boba" on the menu and did add the perfect sweetness to my tea. Great texture, too. My partner picked the Lychee Peachee (peach black tea with lychee bits) with light sweetness. I had a sip and it was delicious too. Lots of chunks of lychee jelly. The employees were friendly and the drinks were ready super fast. Great little shop, we'll be back! read more

Still one of my favorite bubble tea place when I'm in the area. Went recently and ordered their 32 oz medium matcha strawberry. It was oh sooo good. You can taste the matcha flavor and strawberry together. It has enough strawberry and strawberry bits to give that hint of sweetness. Love this drink. Customer service is always great here. Service is fast and the store is clean and spacious. read more

Stopped by in the evening and was impressed by the large selection of drinks--definitely a lot to choose from. This was my first time at a Sharetea location, and I felt a little overwhelmed by the menu, so I had a few questions. Unfortunately, the staff experience left a lot to be desired. The person at the register was chatting with someone who seemed to be off-shift but still hanging around. They noticed me waiting but didn't acknowledge me and continued their chatting until I finally interrupted to ask for help. It didn't feel welcoming at all. When our drinks were ready, a different staff member called my name, shoved the drinks at us on the counter without a word or a smile, didn't even look up at us, and walked away, and chucked the straw at us too. It came off as cold and unprofessional. Maybe she was having a bad day, but the whole interaction felt like we were an inconvenience. The drinks themselves were okay, but the service really soured the experience. With so many boba spots around and across the street, I don't think I'll be coming back here. read more

This spot is consistently solid! There isn't anything crazy special about Tastea, but I am never disappointed here. I've tried the pandan milk tea, peach me sweet tea, and popcorn chicken recently. Pandan Milk Tea: Really yummy! The pandan flavor is really strong, and the jelly it comes with is a good texture and also light enough to go well with it. VERY sweet so make sure to get it a lot less sweet if you normally drink things lighter. Peach Me Sweet Tea: This is the drink I usually get - it is the perfect balance fruity while still having a strong tea flavor. Popcorn Chicken: So crunchy which I like, but the chicken pieces are pretty small. A little steep in price for how much you get also. My spice tolerance is really bad, but I think mild works pretty well with the chicken! Overall a great spot for drinks, but I would usually hold off on their food unless I am really craving it. Their drinks in general also lean sweet, and a 50% sweet here is about an 80% sweet for other boba shops. Service is quick and the workers are so nice. There is also plenty of seating for hanging out/studying! read more

Tastea has some of the best boba place meals/appetizers I've had. Their honey boba I argue is better than regular boba, and their appetizers (most specifically the jujutsu box) is amazing. The service however... not great. It took over 20 minutes for me to get my food and drink. Also, the worker ignored me when I asked her a question regarding allergies. (I waited around 10 minutes before saying something... she acknowledged me with eye contact and didn't say anything else) Otherwise, the place is pretty nice. A few tables to sit at and there is a restroom. Although you need to order something if you want access to the restroom. But in general, pretty much a regular boba spot. read more

Great Boba Shop! I like that you can change the sweetness level. We will be back. Pros: * Delicious drinks; recommended Thai tea & Boba * Friendly & Quick service * Clean restaurant Cons: * N/A Extra: * I ordered my Thai tea with lite sweetener and it still was a bit sweet for me. Next time, I plan to order no sweetness. * Plenty of parking read more

I had been here once a long time ago and saw they had a Thai matcha milk tea I needed to try The space smells sooo good with some tables and chairs available and a clear space to order then pick up drinks I LOVE that they offer stevia as a sweetener option and don't know any other boba place that has that option which is super cool! The matcha milk tea was good but not amazing but the honey boba was so soft and chewy in the best way, regardless will definitely be coming back to try more items read more

Giving this spot a 3.5 out of 5. We ordered the Strawberry specialtea with boba, 50% sugar, large size. The tea itself was decent, and the sugar level felt just right. The boba was green, which was unexpected, but it actually tasted good and had a nice texture. That said, the menu didn't really impress. It took a while to figure out what to get because nothing really stood out or appealed to my taste. We ended up going with something simple because nothing else looked particularly exciting. Prices also felt a bit high for what you get. The store itself was messy. All the tables were dirty, and there was trash on the floor. It didn't feel like cleanliness was a priority. Service was quick, which was good, but the baristas were extremely loud. Their conversations made it hard to place our order, even though there was only one other group inside. The volume in there made the space feel way more packed than it was. Overall, it's a decent option if you're in the area and want something simple, but I'd probably try other boba spots next time. read more

After fasting for over 16 hours to get my blood drawn, I decided to stop by Tastea, which is not too far from the 15 freeway. May not be the best thing to put in my body as a first meal, but it was already 1:30pm. I was hangry and my state of mind had been altered. The first thing that caught my eye was the banana coffee or matcha poster. So, I went with a small - 20 oz iced banana coffee non dairy creamer. Customizing the sweetness and type of milk (almond, oat, or non dairy) is a plus! For snack, I chose the regular size karate chicken with a spice level of 1 - "mild but wild". It had the right amount of heat without compromising the flavor. It also includes a dipping sauce with the choice of weak sauce (sweet chili), ranch or ketchup. The place is clean and inviting. It was empty when I first arrived and quickly got busy as I left so I cannot comment as to how loud it can get. I didn't have to wait too long for my food and drink. Drink came out fast and waited for chicken which was like less than 5 minutes in all... I think. Price is comparable. Shout out to Charlise for the kind attentive service. There's a variety of drink flavors to choose from and a few yummy snacks to select. I'll definitely come back to try more items. Thank you and stay strong read more

I've always thought that Tastea had one of the best popcorn chicken flavors in town. Today I got the chicken & calamari. Pros: - Great seasoning - Love that they included the crispy little pieces in the chicken - I think the weak sauce is just sweet chili? but it's delicious! Cons: - Ordered extra basil and it's supposed to be fried but they weren't - Spice levels are a bit inconsistent - Usually when we get mild, it has a bit of heat. This time, it had almost none, making me wish I got medium. However, if I order medium next time, it may be tooooooo spicy if it's inconsistent. read more

Pretty decent boba. It's got everyone's favorites. The set up here feels very much geared to getting take out rather than staying even though there are tables here. This place reminds me of Tea Station, it has food here too and the food is sooo good. I loved the fries with the seasoning and the dip. Nice play to hang out with friends. read more

This tastea is very clean! All the tables are wiped down and the floor does not feel sticky. The drink menu is also very abundant so whatever you're looking for, you'd for sure find it here! Employees are also very fast and efficient. The restroom was also very clean which I appreciate. I ordered a pandan oreo since it was one of the newest drinks and I highly recommend it for a sweet treat! I would definitely come back to this location for another drink and maybe even food! My only downside is that this place would not be a good place to study. Even though the music is good, it's a little too loud, but overall, it's a great place to get boba! read more

We were shopping in the area and stumbled across Tastea. We love boba and are always looking for new places to try, so we decided to check it out. Initially we were both going to try their Chamango drink but we ended up just getting the Yummy Gummy & Avocado Avalanche. Yummy Gummy: A tropical mix smoothie with orange, passion fruit, and raspberry with peach bits! It definitely tastes like gummies. Avocado Avalanche: I am always down for an avocado smoothie and this one was perfect! I've never had green colored boba before and to my surprise, it was SO GOOD! It had a great chew and complimented the smoothie well. Both smoothies were medium sizes (20oz). Their larger size is HUGE at 32oz. Generous cup sizes, for sure! Will definitely come back! read more

After a long day of walking about both plazas and comic con prior, we needed some refreshments and popped in here after seeing what was close on yelp. The space was clean, cool, and had a nice staff. They serve snacks too fried karage chicken, bowls, calamari etc. We got avocado smoothie and a gummy smoothie. My lady enjoyed her creamy avocado smoothie with green boba (we were so glad it wasn't the popping juice boba) pleasantly surprised and welcomed it. I had the yummy gummy with 30% sugar and it was smooth and refreshing. Orange raspberry passionfruit and peach bits at the bottom. We were both happy with our drinks, though mine did feel more like a slushy than a smoothie but either way enjoyable. read more

First time here... It was a hot day and we wanted some drinks to cool us down. Upon entering, we got hit with a strong chemical smell. They must been cleaning the shop. It threw us off but we went ahead and bought our drinks. It was very vibrant and a pretty decent open space inside. Plenty of seats. They accept cash or debit/credit. We ordered the taro fantasy, lychee peachee, Thai milk tea and a regular iced green non sweet tea. Taro fantasy is basically a taro slushy (blended taro), I would rate it a 7 out of 10. Lychee peachee was a 4 out of 10: I had asked for less sweet and lots of ice. It was still on the sweet side. The lychee peachee consist of peach black tea with diced of lychee. I like the diced lychee, it was nice touch to the drink. Thai milk tea was just all right, nothing special. My daughter ordered the iced green tea non sweetened and it was very bitter. I really like the prices for the huge sizes. Other than that, the service was good and they were friendly. They had answered all of our questions of the drinks. We did see a lot of people come in and order, maybe we just ordered the wrong things or it "was one of those days". read more

Very spontaneous. Stop over here after going to get my nails done at the salon nearby. My husband has been wanting boba for a really long time and he loves Thai milk tea so decided decided to stop here. Got Classic Milk Tea with Creme Brulee. The tea in itself had a good flavor and it turns out they had actual chunks of creme brulee inside! I thought it would be creme brulee flavored boba pearls or something like that. But no, it was actual chunks of creme brulee! Very unique take here. A little hard to have the creme brulee pieces through the straw, but maybe you can get a spoon and have it as dessert at the end of the tea. :) Would recommend trying for sure. read more

I finally decided to change it up and got their Vietnamese Coffee with creme brûlée. Learning from my previous mistakes, I got it with light sweetness. And wow!! It was amazingly good with definitely a strong bitter, nuttiness to it. YUM! This is the kind of coffee I love. None of the drinks from here have yet to disappoint me! Keep it strong, Tastea! The weird thing I didn't realize this shop did was that they charged an extra $0.75 for less ice with a top off. I didn't know that was a thing until it was too late. The cashier couldn't cancel that so I just paid for it. The manager(?) was nice and gave me $0.75 back, but I said it was okay. A good side note for the future though! read more

We come so often and I keep forgetting to leave a review! The service is always fast and friendly. The inside restaurant is a little small and limited places to sit but we don't ever have a problem finding a spot to sit. I do wish they would wipe down the table more! There's always stuff on the table. (If the drinks weren't so good I would have given 4 stars) Our go to drink is the watermelon slush with mango bites. We always get the biggest size and it's soooo good! The chicken with rice bowl is always a 10/10 too. read more

Had a great experience at Tastea. They have a great selection of specialty drinks, and everything we tried was very tasty and refreshing.

AMBIANCE Clean, with sufficient interior seating, and a bit noisy due to lots of hard surface reflecting acoustics. SERVICE I arrived for my to go order right on time but didn't hear my name. I took it to mean I had to self-announce my arrival for pickup, which was fine, but I stood awkwardly in line by the pickup area for quite some time before staff arrived and as people received their orders. FOOD 4/5 karate chicken $11.5: Crispy, tender, flavorful, and pairs nicely with weak sauce (sweet and spicy chili sauce). My only disappointment was that there is a layer of fried crisps that doesn't actually have any chicken at the box's bottom. DRINK 3/5 Avocado smoothie $6.8: Tasted not as thick, creamy, or very much like avocado as I imagined this to be - this is almost like a watered down avocado smoothie.
