Owner was extremely kind, and friendly and had super delicious boba. Will definitely become a regular for costumer service alone

There definitely isn't a shortage of boba shops in San Diego, however, The Boba Co figured out a way to stand out. We walked in and first impression was that it was a clean, black & white decorated store, blasting hip hop / rap. The cashier was really friendly, chatty, and helped us customize our drinks. He was a big part of what made our first time there memorable. We picked this spot because we were looking for honeydew melon slush and they had it (both honeydew melon milk tea and slushie formats). We also got a Passionfruit Green Tea with Boba - 0% sweet. Both were perfect. The sweetness from the boba pearls was more than enough for my passionfruit tea and the honeydew melon slush was on point. The walls are decorated with framed black & white photos of hip hop / rap artists. After making our drinks, the cashier quizzed us on our hip hop artist knowledge :) If you grew up in the 80s-90s, this place will take you back to the golden days of hip hop/rap. What a fun twist for a boba shop. I think we found our fave spot in North County! read more

Super cool atmosphere! Walls were decked out with classic hip-hop and rap musician portraits and the music playing from the speakers stayed true to the vibe. Server was super cool and friendly (a group of regular teens came in and they were all chatting which was really nice to see) and he did an excellent job on our drinks (a brown sugar Boba milk tea and a green lychee tea with Sakura jelly hearts)! Definitely made my Costco trip worth the crowd! read more

Wow, who knew that San Marcos had boba this good?! Would totally recommend it over the other places nearby. I ordered the strawberry matcha, and next time I would get it almost no sugar since the boba and strawberries are sweet. Portion was great too, matcha was delicious. I came here with Justine and she ordered a white grape drink - that was pretty good too! Service was great. The owner was super nice to answer our questions and show us his matcha that was legit. :) Plenty of chairs to sit here and chill. Very instagrammable too with the white tiles haha. Overall, I will be a regular when I come back to San Marcos! read more

I love the black and white, hip hop decor. The place was very clean. They were not busy on a Monday night. They have a parking lot and indoor seating. I was immediately greeted when I walked in. Service was fast. I ordered the Thai Milk Tea with boba. I got it cold with no ice and half sugar. I love that you can customize the drink. It had a good portion of boba and the boba was fresh and chewy. My only complaint are the lids. I prefer the sealed one so I can swirl my drink upside down to mix up the boba and drink. Their lids have a hole already and it was difficult to stab the straw into it. Overall good experience. I'll be coming back. read more

This was my first time trying boba co's matcha latte with boba. Their boba was amazing, super chewy and sweet, but the matcha latte was not that impressive. Even though I got light ice, it seemed slightly watered down. Before leaving, I even asked to confirm that there was milk in it, just because there wasn't much flavor. I do hope to try some of their other drinks and since they have such great reviews. I may have just gotten the wrong drink. read more

The Boba Co - seating area - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

My husband and I visited this shop while in the area. I love how spacious it is and the amount of seating with cool decorations. When we visited, it was not busy so we were able ask the employees which drinks they recommend or which are popular since it was our first time trying this shop. We ordered the Organic House Black Milk Tea with boba and the Lychee Fruit Tea with lychee jelly. Both drinks were really good and that was with 100% sweetness on both. They were not super sweet which is what I liked. The boba is the best boba consistency I've had in a while. It's the perfect amount of soft and chewy. They really know how to make good boba. I would love to come back and try other drinks on the menu and maybe the food they offer too. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by this location since it opened recently and has the Taiwanese chicken! We would go to the Poway location before. The chicken (chick chop) was amazing!! We loved it and it was made so fresh. It was still hot and yet I continued to eat it and risked burning my tongue because it was so good. We got it spicy and loved it! We got two pieces and each piece is big, but I'm glad we got two so we could eat more :) As for drinks, we like the strawberry matcha latte, butterfly tea/juice drinks, and the OG! The boba they have is delicious. I loved the boba since the first time I had it and drive 30 minutes from home to get it! The service is great! And this location seems bigger than the other one, but same chill vibes! read more

The Boba Co - Chick chop Taiwanese chicken! - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

Me and my wife came in for lunch after hearing how good this spot was, and we were immediately greeted by Kent & Miguel with extreme kindness and amazing service. We ordered 2 espresso milk teas and 3 quesabirria tacos. Our food came out very quick and Miguel brought us an extra quesabirria tacos. We chatted with Miguel for a while and had an amazing time and great conversation, and the food was amazing. We got to try a carnitas taco as well, that was amazing. The quesabirria was insanely flavorful, and extremely tender and not dry. The Habanero salsa packed the perfect amount of heat and was extremely flavorful as well. The drinks were delicious and the boba was perfect, Miguel told us they make the Boba every 3 hours to keep it fresh, and it definitely was. This was truly the best most friendly and attentive service we have ever had, and we will absolutely be back, and soon! Thank you Miguel and Kent for your amazing service and delicious food. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes good service and amazing food. 10/10. read more

The Boba Co - Quesabirria Taco & Cold Espresso Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

New boba place near us! Next to Taco Bell!! Their service is really good and so helpful. We got their basic boba and their tea was great as well as the flavor of the boba. Inside seating area was fabulous. The only reason why it's. 4-star is if you have young kids, probably not the most appropriate music. It's like 90s -early 2000s hip hop. Music I enjoy but profanity I don't. I know, personal preference. Everything else was great! read more

I love trying new boba spots! This place makes freshly brewed tea drinks, which you don't see very often, and well worth the short wait! I ordered the osmanthus oolong milk tea, and it was so good!

A great boba spot in San Marcos! I ordered the OG Milk tea with boba and egg pudding, and my fiancé ordered the winter melon milk tea with boba. Both were great and the boba was fresh! There was a short wait for our drinks. The person that took our order also made the drinks. There were many tables and seats inside. People were coming and going. We enjoyed looking at the wall of hip-hop rappers while we waiting! read more

The Boba Co - Rose Matcha Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

First off the staff is EXTREMELY friendly and made my family and I comfortable. We took our time to order and talk through the menu to see what we would like best. Some of us got our usual favorites that you can get at most boba shops (Thai tea milk w/ boba & ice cream) while some of us tried the butterfly juice and ice blended drinks. Everything was very very good. We also decided to try their chick chop (Taiwanese fried chicken cutlet) and quesabirria tacos. Both were really good and went well with our drinks. They also offered to make our kids quesadillas which was super thoughtful. They also play hip hop that matches their black and white decor. All and all, we believe we have found our new go-to boba spot. read more

Between the flavorful food, delicious boba, and genuinely warm service, this place keeps leveling up. Highly recommended! Staff and food were invaluable read more

Hip hop we don't stop. Boba co don't stop. How many rappers are on the wall of this wonderful establishment? As many stars this boba is rated. I got the OG with boba and the dark roast oolong. Both were excellent tea with premium boba! The quality of everything was second to none. The flavors were very potent and not watered down. Must check it out! read more

I've never tried this place, but I left reasonably impressed. They have all the signs of a great and consistent tea place- sugar is dispensed by those Asian machines, milk is precisely measured out, tea is freshly brewed and not oversteeped, cold drinks are hand shaken with ice and then poured. Pretty good customer service to boot. Overall, a 4.5! Ordered the dark oolong milk tea with fresh milk and boba on a Saturday around 4, and there was no wait. It came out to a little over $6. Tea strength (4.5/5): could definitely taste the tea, but I personally prefer stronger tea flavor especially for dark oolongs. But they did a good job not oversteeping it. I ordered it with fresh milk, but I'm sure if you do it with the default non-dairy creamer, it will probably taste stronger. Tea sweetness (3/5): I ordered 50% sweet and it was still pretty sweet (I generally prefer things only slightly sweet). I could go down to 0% with boba or 25% without boba. Boba texture (4/5): It was QQ, but definitely a "harder" chew rather than a soft or medium. Acceptable, but could be slightly softer (I prefer medium QQ). It would probably be perfect with a hot drink instead of iced. Not to worry, the hardness of the chew wasn't to the point where the texture was gritty or anything. Boba flavor (5/5): Yummy and flavorful! Unlike other shops where it tastes like nothing. A solid drink that hit the spot. Wish they had popcorn chicken if they're already doing fried chicken steaks!!! Would definitely come back if I were back in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way to make a stop. read more

The wait for my drink was a bit longer than usual today (10 mins or so), but it was totally understandable because it was surprisingly busy! It was around 3pm or so, but perhaps it was so busy because it's boba day today? Regardless, the service and ambiance of the place were good otherwise. I ordered a 16oz Thai Milk Tea with light ice and light boba, and it was so good! Would absolutely get that one again. :) read more

This is The Boba CO's second location. They just opened this location two weeks ago. When you first walk in, you'll notice that they have a very open floor plan and a great interior design. They have a very unique hexagon flower tiled floor (see photos) and a series of photos of old school hip hop artists. To add in to the hip hop theme, they have a huge quote plastered on their wall- it says, "I got 99 problems, but boba ain't one." It made me giggle. Even though they were thirty mins away from closing time, the staff were very welcoming. We ordered a strawberry matcha with boba and a dark roasted oolong tea with boba. Shockingly, the drinks here were very reasonably priced- at $4.95 for a regular size. I haven't seen a price that low for boba in a long time. They even have Taiwanese popcorn chicken here! I'll try that next time. We really enjoyed our tea here, however, the boba was not cooked long enough so it was still slightly tough. The wait time for the drinks was also longer than other places but that's likely just because these were new staff members. Excited to go back and try a different drink next time! read more

New Boba Spot where the old Pizza Hut use to be in front of Taco Bell in the Nordahl Marketplace. Hands down my favorite spot! They offer a lot of a boba shop I got a Strawberry matcha latte and my friend ordered Cha'mango Blend so fire. We also tried their Taiwanese Chicken, please order this asap. Your taste buds will thank you. The owner is super cool. He really cares of making connections with his customers. He made his big shop a big vibe for those who love hip hop artist like Tupac, biggie, salt & paper music. There's 3 tables and couch to enjoy your boba. There was a lot of thought into the decoration and it's nostalgic. Definitely recommend you coming thru and hanging out w family or friends. read more

Tried the classic milk tea with boba. They had a buy 1, get 1 free deal. The boba itself is below average. The milk tea was above average. Tastes like tea and not watered down.

I can't believe it took me this long to check this absolute gem of a place! Tucked away in the corner of the Walmart/ Kohl's/ Costco shopping center over by the taco there is the best boba shop I've been to in North County.

I love that they have a zero sweetness option for their drinks and various milk alternatives as well as organic whole milk. The food is also delicious! The birria tacos were so good and you can't help but love the hip hop vibes and chill atmosphere. We will be back for sure! read more
