This place is usually so good and their milk teas and matcha is good but their rose smoothie was so bad i had to throw it away!! Why was it chunky and icy why would u blend rose petals into the smoothie i was expecting like rose syrup but nah and if u've ever had rose petals they arent really pleasant to eat plus the smoothie wasnt well blended so there were chunks of ice so it was overall a very chewy and crunchy smoothie Their other drinks are good i guess just never order a smoothie here read more

We were in the area visiting some puppies and decided to get some boba from here afterwards. I chose the Galaxy Sunrise and my hubby chose the Blue 27. The Galaxy had passionfruit, mango and peach with chia seeds, but I also added lychee jellies. It wasn't too sweet and was very refreshing! The blue 27 was one of their top drinks and also had passionfruit in it, but I thought my drink was better. They have a lot of unique flavors here, like the potted plant, which I've only seen at a couple of places so far. read more

Probably the best boba around! Great interior makes for a comfortable tea sipping. They have very unique and varietal options of boba. We usually come here for our boba in comparison to the other franchises. read more

Tea Amo's drinks never disappoint. There are so many flavors of boba drinks, teas, and frappe style beverages to choose from. My personal favorite was the taro with boba and the vanilla Oreo frappe. Employees are very kind and quick with the orders. The atmosphere here is adorable and cozy. There are cute designs and paintings all around. Definitely would recommend this spot for the drinks alone, but I would recommend hanging out with friends or studying here. Can't wait to go back! read more

Wow! There are so many boba tea places to try in this area now. I'm visiting from Arizona and decided to try Tea Amo. The bobarista, went out of her way to help me out. I didn't know what to try and she made some great recommendations. I went for the winter melon, and it was amazing! The ambience inside is a peaceful and easy place to work or study. High recommend! read more

Tea Amo - Desserts Near Me - San Marcos, California

Tea Amo makes a nice pit stop in San Marcos, with its easy to remember name, festively decorated interior, and delightful drinks. The menu is nearly identical to Macchiato, down to the potted plant milk teas, waffles, fried savory snacks, and of course, macchiatos. Since I'm not in the area often, I decided to double fist and order two drinks: a Lavender Milk Tea and an Uji Matcha Milk Tea with sweet sea salt and boba. Both were yummy and actually tasted like lavender and uji matcha, respectively. They were also pretty sweet, so I would get less sweet next time, especially for the uji matcha. The sweet sea salt looked like a whipped, creamy foam, and it balanced sweet and salty well. It didn't make the drink too heavy. The boba was lovely because it 1) was served warm and instantly made me happy, 2) had a soft texture that was not mushy, and 3) was not swimming in a grossly artificial syrup. I think service could be warmer and more attentive. The girl taking our orders was curt and probably wanted her shift to end three hours ago. And then my friends' orders were switched (boba added to wrong drink, bummer!). read more

Cute boba shop! Not too many people in a Friday night, so they quickly took and made our order. Potted plant milk tea: Cute concept, drink was not bad at all. I didn't have any expectations, but I do like Oreo in drinks. The milk tea was solid (25% sugar) but not a lot of tea taste. Ceylon milk tea with tiramisu: Not my drink, but I tried several sips of it. The tiramisu cream was nice, the milk tea itself was similar to my drink. 75% sugar and wasn't that sweet. Overall, it's a cute place. Don't think they have that many specialty drinks but will probably be back if I'm ever in the area. read more

The tea shop has been here for a while now. My older kids love the Boba and always stop by to grab one when the craving hits. My littler one likes to grab the mochi waffles. Chewy like it should be. We also enjoy the popcorn chicken. The drink is always reliable. Glad it is near and open late. read more

This is my second time here and I really like their boba milk tea. I asked the girl working at the counter to blend my royal milk tea order and though it's not on the menu, she hooked it up. Super friendly! Definitely recommend. read more

Tea Amo - Blended Royal Milk Tea with extra boba and sea salt foam - Desserts Near Me - San Marcos, California

I love the interior! It is cute and spacious with multiple outlets. It's crowded either so it feels comfortable to stay and get some work or studying done. The menu includes milk teas, teas, blended drinks, coffee drinks, snacks, and desserts. I tried a matcha drink today as well as an order of popcorn chicken. I could see the potential in both items but they fell short of expectations. The drink was very very creamy - it tasted like straight up creamer with a high of tea. But the hint of tea did taste good! As for the chicken, the flavor was there but the texture was chewy and a little mushy instead of light and crispy. read more

Nice clean store with a decent menu. I tried the matcha soft serve, which was nice. My kiddo had a macaroon. My daughter had the osmanthus and I had the lavender milk tea. Both were good. I'm not a Boba fan, but any milk tea sans Boba is good to me. My kids love Boba so if you have a favorite spot with cool flavors let me know!! read more

Lovely tea shop, the most delicious jasmine green tea boba I have had in a very long time. I stumbled upon Tea Amo (love the name, playing with words 'I love you') after a doctor's visit in Kaiser and found it thanks to Yelp. The shop is super clean, immaculate, the tables are made of sturdy wood, very comfortable to spend some time working, drawing or chatting with friends. I would like to try the cute macarons when in the area. I loved the container of my drink and the heart shaped decor in the glass. read more

Accessibility: there are accessible/handicap parking a few doors down in front of another store, and the ramp to get onto the sidewalk is also there. The door to enter this building is a pull/push door. There is seating inside and outside with movable chairs. Experience: I love this place! A new favorite tea spot! The name is so cute but the building and the tea are the best part! As soon as you walk inside, it looks so cute. I came on a Sunday afternoon and they weren't busy at all which was really nice. They were playing soft music at a low level which was also relaxing. I ordered a Galaxy Sunrise and my girlfriend ordered the House Fruit Tea; wow they were both fantastic! This was some of the best tea I have tried in North County San Diego! The cups were really cute and fancy. They were also really big teas for under five dollars! That is so hard to find. Overall: this place is cute, they have delicious tea, large proportions for great prices. I will absolutely come back and recommend them to others. read more

Solid boba spot with plenty of parking and friendly staff. Got their Uji Macha Frappe which was nice but with a more floral matcha flavor than the traditional grassy flavor. We also got their chocolate soft serve which was delicious (highly recommend!). Would come back to try their other many flavors read more

We were in the area and wanted a drink after our hike. It was a colder day but we were still craving something refreshing and thirst quenching. We saw pictures of their pretty drinks online and decided to give this place a try. We got the galaxy sunrise and blue 27. The sunrise is passion fruit, mango, and peach flavored and has chia seeds. The blue 27 is guava and peach flavored and has aloe. The drinks were definitely aesthetically pleasing but it was way too watered down. The flavor was very faint and it feels like we're drinking slightly flavored water which was disappointing. The aloe in the blue 27 was probably the best part of the drink since it had the most flavor and texture.. Maybe the other drinks are better but we were left disappointed with the ones we got. read more

Really cute shop!! My hubby, daughter and I stopped in while heading home from a family drive...sometimes you just want to be on the road. I had a cold tea beverage with mango popping boba and my daughter had a Hokkaido milk tea. The place had a very nice vibe and if I'm in the area again I'll definitely stop in for a drink and sit in the swing chair again. read more

My girls wanted to check this place out, so that's what we did tonight. The order: -Potted Plant milk tea - my order, it was ok, I didn't care for the milk making it a bit bland. It's pretty cool to look at though. -Galaxy sunrise - it was delicious and probably my favorite -Blue 27 - a close second to Galaxy sunrise, it didn't have the passionfruit kick the Galaxy sunrise had. -S'more mochi waffles - we got it to go and it was deconstructed, so we had to assemble it ourselves. My kids loved it and the mochi made it very chewy, which I'm not used to for a waffle, but still really good. I'll have to come back and try other flavors but I won't reorder the potted plant milk tea. read more

Even right before closing time, the staff was so friendly and helpful with drink suggestions. Their menu has really wonderful pictures and detailed descriptions. They seem to have a big selection or fruit and milk teas, each of which look very unique. They have a potted plant milk tea which looks just like the name suggests. They also have a galaxy tea which is a stunning mix of colors and flavors. I ordered the Blue 27 drink which had peach and black tea, with aloe topping. My drink was okay, just a regular peach black tea, but it was very pretty! I'm excited to go back and try a milk tea instead. The ambiance here is super cute, they have plants for sale and large open tables for mingling or studying. read more

I've been coming to this place for 2 years already and wow it has some of the best drinks I've ever tried! It's my go to boba place not only for the customer service and the beautiful and clean decor but also especially since I'm more of a tea girly. Other boba places offer tea but they all taste incredibly sour however, this place offers the best tea which is the house fruit tea I usually get toppings such as the popping boba and lychee and omg it's wonderful!! 10/10 recommend read more

The service was really quick and friendly. I noticed they acknowledged the wait time if they felt it was too long for the customers, which was really good on their part. The ambiance was cute and screams millennial and Gen z, but I'm here for it. I got their Blue 27 and the Summer Breeze. I highly recommend to get the Blue 27 first, especially if you're here for the first time; it's a guava and peach green tea base with aloe - very refreshing! As for the summer breeze, it's also just as good, but black tea base. I just prefer the former! I'll definitely come back here to try more of their popular drinks, especially the ones that have boba in them. read more

Okinawa milk tea was good. Jasmine milk tea was did not taste at all like jasmine or tea. The boba was not a good texture and didn't taste like anything (advertised as brown sugar). Service was amazing and the server was super helpful and friendly. Really cute store, but disappointing drinks. read more

Tea & Amo opened up this year and seems to be a rebranding of Macchiato. It's in the same location and has the same menu. I used to come to Macchiato once or twice a week pre-pandemic and I was a little concerned that my points would be gone, but all my points have been retained thankfully. They still offer the 10% discount for being a student and will have ongoing specials which make it even cheaper. Check in on Yelp to see if they have any ongoing discounts! They also have a fluid online ordering system so your order can be ready when you arrive. There is a bench and like two tables outside if you need a place to sit. There are about 4 pokestops within range of the location so if you play pokemon go this is a great place to use your lures! This place has it all, tea, coffee, and amazing food. Be sure to try all of their snacks! My favorites are the popcorn chicken and the house tater tots! read more

Want the best boba in the area? Go to Tea Amo! I love Elle! And all the boba-ristas treat you like friends once you're a regular. Their drinks are phenomenal and the fact that it's a mom & pop shop makes it even sweeter when you support their business. They also have a better point system than any other chain in the area. As an artist I pitched to their social media page about painting a mural there, but they never contacted me back. But if you saw my review and stopped by because of it. Tell them it would look really cool with a photo opp. Let them know to reach out to @yoeme.art on instagram. read more

By far the BEST boba place locally. They have variety of options like hot, cold, espresso option AND some fried goodness. I got the LARGE Milky Way boba with sweet potato fries and my friend got the regular milk tea boba with popcorn chicken (mild). That chicken was good. Their spicy is probably legit too-- I can tell by their crispiness! The sweet potato fries were good (not the best but whatever). I was impressed by the taste of my Milky Way tea. I really enjoyed it. Staff was super friendly and courteous. Makes the experience that much better. The ambiance was a great vibe! Looked (and felt) clean and up-kept nicely. There's a lot of room to hang out and have a nice conversation. This place is in the big center next to a sushi place with the jack in the box close by. (Why I didn't take pics is a mystery to me. I'll be back so I'll take some good pics!) read more

We stopped in here for a couple of drinks to celebrate my daughter passing her permit test and it was awesome. I ordered a Thai Milk Tea w/ Boba and it was perfect. The taste was fantastic and the bobas tasted great. The cups are textured and the lids have spots to sip, use a regular straw or a boba straw. That's not something I usually focus on but it was really nice. My daughter ordered a Potted Plant w/Boba including chocolate powder on top to look like dirt. She loved it! So, a small business with great flavor and top quality materials. We will definitely be back for more! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! read more

The girl working register tonight was so cute and friendly! She was patient with us while we decided what to order and I really appreciated her service. The place also appeared very clean and up kept nicely. For a drink, I got the lychee green tea and I'm glad I ordered it as a large because it was delicious! It was perfectly sweet and came in a reusable cup which is cool. I also got some cajun fries and popcorn chicken. Fries were yummy, thin, and crispy. My partner said he wished he ordered more for the drive home... Popcorn chicken was the best I've had in a long time. I was really surprised because I haven't had popcorn chicken this juicy before. It was fresh, perfectly cooked, and very flavorful. For dessert, we ordered the belgian waffle with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle. I didn't get to taste it because my partner devoured it, but he said it was great. I can't wait to come back and try the creme brulee. read more

Cute place to do HW! I wish I knew about this place sooner when I was hunting for coffee shops. I saw a couple college students. I will say that they do need to work on the smell, it smells musty. Other then that, the drinks were really good. I did the Thai tea and it was perfect! I will be coming back to try the shaved ice cream! The service was great too. read more

This tea place is so delicious, we can't stop coming here! Every time we arrive, there's always a super kind and friendly person at the front ready to take our orders.

This place has to be one, if not, THE CLEANEST and coolest place to enjoy your boba, and delicious it is!! read more

Overall I was a bit disappointed with the overall selection. The decor of this facility is INSTA WORTHY! However the staff was not very friendly and you are heavily limited on add-ons which disappointed me. Overall 6.5/10 experience read more

Cute place with good fruit tea! It's a good place for students to study, I noticed some outlets here and there and there's a fairly spacious parking lot in the front (and a shopping center across the street) if needed.
