My husband and I have a weekly ritual where we get boba every Wednesday and we were so jazzed to…read morediscover this Kung Fu Tea truck so close to where we live!! We've been stopping by nearly every week since: the boba is sweet and QQ (nice chew and softness for those who don't know), the drinks are consistently good, and Mike is such a personable delight of a person to chat with! I find that Kung Fu Tea in general runs sweeter than I like, but that's fine because the drinks are very customizable! My favorite is the malted black milk tea (and extra shoutout to Mike for being a real one for keeping it on the menu ), though their wintermelon, oolong milk teas, and strawberry matcha cream (every drink for me at 50% sweetness, less ice, and brown sugar boba and/or herbal jelly) often make an appearance in my drink rotation as well. My husband loves the honey green tea, the honey black tea, and wintermelon green tea (for him, full sweet, less ice, and brown sugar boba). Lots of options for milk tea, non-milk tea, slushes, coffee, etc.! If you're in the area, definitely check it out if you're looking for some quality boba drinks!

KUNG FU TEA, VALLEY CENTER. As the only place serving boba and milk teas in the area, I am super…read morehappy Kung Fu exists and posts their hours on IG so I know whether or not they're going to be there when I'm in the area. This is super helpful. I ordered their passion fruit green tea and also tried the Thai milk tea. Since it was my first time, I didn't know what their standard sweetness level was like. Next time I'll ask for more sweetness. I was disappointed by the boba. It was undercooked, unpleasant to chew, and I couldn't finish it. Glad I only got boba in one of the drinks so I could enjoy the second without trying to dodge them. Service was welcoming and fast, great location with plenty of safe parking nearby. Hope next time the boba is softer and enjoyable like I get at other places. Overall, very happy Valley Center has this option!

At this point I feel like I have to leave a review because I've literally been here EVERY DAY for…read morethe past 2 going on 3 weeks Like actually every day. I found this little coffee spot and immediately developed a hyperfixation. My first obsession was the mazapan latte with mazapan cold foam then I started venturing out and tried the horchata latte, dulce de leche & nowww I'm stuck on the tres leches with horchata cold foam. When I tell you it is SOOO GOOD I keep wanting to try more of the menu but the problem is once I find something I love, I will order it 47 times before I can move on & It's not even just the coffee. The girls here are SO sweet and welcoming every single time I come through. I've interacted with a couple of them now and have genuinely never had a bad experience. The customer service is always 10/10. I also LOVE the whole setup. It's this cute little drive-thru coffee hut, their menu has so many unique drinks and flavors, and they even have a reward system where you get free drinks after you fill up your punch cards (i'm on my 3rd already) If you like sweeter, creamier or Mexican-inspired flavors like mazapan, horchata, dulce de leche, tres leches, etc., GO HEREEEE. There's still so much I want to try, but apparently I need to finish my current tres leches era first The hours say closed on Sundays, but they def are opened. I believe their new hours are 7-3pm weekdays. Not sure the hours on weekends. But this Escondido Coffee shop is definitely a hidden Gem & i hope everyone at least just tries it once bc that's all it takes to have you obsessed Safe to say they have officially gained a regular.

The taro bingsoo was super light and fluffy. Not overly sweet, which I actually appreciated. It's definitely a good shareable dessert, especially if you want something refreshing instead of heavy. The taro with creme brulee was the standout for me though. The layers were really pretty, and once mixed, it had that creamy taro flavor with a slight caramelized richness from the brûlée topping. It felt a little more elevated than your typical taro milk tea.

I asked why what was being offered didn't match what was advertised on the menu. The employee looked at me like I was the one speaking nonsense, then hit me with a shrug and, "I don't make the rules." Cool. You may not make the rules, but someone sure made this menu--and apparently nobody bothers to make sure it matches reality. If your customers need a decoder ring to figure out what's actually available versus what's printed, that's not a customer problem. That's a business problem. Do better. Or at the very least, update the menu so it stops catfishing people. Seriously... WTF."

The lemonade does not taste like traditional lemonade. It still has the refreshing taste and is perfect after a late night out or even a long gym session. The lemonade still has the slight salty tang but not in the same way as biting into a lemon. It stays pretty well in the fridge for awhile. I love introducing new people to this because they're always a little hesitant at first but it's love at first sip. No matter where I live in San Diego, I will continue to always have this stocked in the fridge.

I visited the Escondido Matcha Cafe Maiko for the first time last week! I can officially say I've…read morevisited all three locations in San Diego! There was plenty of parking in the plaza. There were a few tables, and high top bar seating inside the location. I enjoyed a matcha latte with less sweetness, less ice, and with boba. The boba quality was great! I feel like the boba could be hit or miss at the Mira Mesa branch.

I was visiting San Diego and came across Matcha Maiko, so l decided to stop by because I'd been…read morewanting to try their matcha. When I walked in, the kiosks weren't working, so ! waited at the front for someone to take my order. Instead, all I could hear was an older lady loudly screaming at one of the employees. It was loud enough that I could hear everything from the front counter, and it honestly gave me secondhand embarrassment. The employee was being embarrassed in front of everyone in the store, which made for a really uncomfortable atmosphere. Because of the confusion, I ended up ordering through their website instead. Unfortunately, the drink was disappointing. They added a huge scoop of strawberry syrup that completely overpowered the drink. I went there to try Matcha Maiko's matcha, not a cup full of strawberry syrup. On top of that, the syrup wasn't even mixed in properly, so l kept getting mouthfuls of syrup at the bottom I was really looking forward to trying this place, but between the uncomfortable experience in the store and the poorly made drink, it wasn't the experience I had hoped for.

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.
