To be completely honest, I was never a fan of their other dessert puddings or tiramisu's because of how overly sweet almost everything is. I think sometimes even the seasonal drinks can get pretty sweet as well. I'm not sure yet because I haven't asked but it would be nice to be able to adjust sweetness for drinks. As for customer service, I can say it's alright. Not the nicest but not the worst either.

I like this boba shop because they have a lot of space to comfortably sit and chat with friends. I always get the royal/black milk tea with boba. It's my standard at any bubble tea shop and it's fine. I'm not that picky :). The popcorn chicken is tasty with the spicy powder. I like that the parking is easy, getting my order is almost always super fast, and the staff are almost always friendly. I think it's a good place to hang out after dinner and get a boba tea and dessert or snack. Some things could be better. I would like them to have more outside seating for nice days. The menu isn't very descriptive of the drinks and they need more pictures, but that's a problem for my friends. I always get the same drink :). And it'd be great if they had more desserts. Overall, it's a great boba shop. Easy parking, large space, fast, tasty drinks, boba and chill. I've tried the other 5 or 6 (?!?!) tea shops in the area and this is the one that checks all the boxes for me. read more

I recently visited Tea Amo, a delightful tea café nestled in the heart of San Diego, and it was an absolute treat! From the moment I walked in, the cozy ambiance and the aromatic scent of freshly brewed teas welcomed me warmly. Drinks: Their Matcha Latte was a standout--smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. I also tried the Rose Milk Tea, which had a subtle floral note that was both refreshing and unique. For those who enjoy fruity flavors, the Passion Fruit Green Tea is a must-try; it's invigorating and not too sugary. read more

My husband has started timing how long I can go without mentioning it (current record: 6 hours, and honestly I'm not proud of that). The staff here are so genuinely kind that I've started to suspect they're either extremely well-trained or just secretly the nicest humans alive - I'm leaning toward the latter. Every single time I walk in it's warm greetings and zero judgment when I order something absurdly complicated with three add-ins and "light ice, not too light- 50% sweet." The tea itself tastes like it was brewed with actual love and not, you know, whatever sad tea bags are haunting other boba shops. Fresh, fragrant, the real deal. And the boba?? Cooked to that perfect chewy-not-mushy texture that feels like it should require a culinary degree. I've had boba elsewhere that tasted like sad little erasers. Not here. Here they respect the pearl.
