    Taro milk tea with boba
    Lilla S.

    Literally the most delicious taro milk tea I've ever had! Not too sweet, just right. They also make their taro rather than use powder and it makes all the difference. Super quick too.

    Avo/Coco! Seriously quality ingredients
    Tia M.

    Parking usually full but there's plenty of parking but may need to walk a bit. No place to eat inside. It's blocked off. Pretty decor, but seating is blocked off and full of boxes. So you order at the counter and he'll give you a buzzer and it'll buzz when yours is ready. Then off you go to enjoy true QUALITY drink. I got a Small Avocado coconut smoothie $8/9 made with with coconut milk $1 and added boba $1. All ingredients are natural and REAL!!! So difficult to find a TRUE avocado smoothie. He will be honest with you if avocado isn't ripe then he'll say sorry chose another type smoothie. This time avocado was ripe and wow!!!! Delicious!!! The piece of avocado on my smoothie was perfect! No wonder the drink was so on point, he seriously keeps quality in check! Thank you! Give your number and get a bday treat. No clue what it will be but I signed up. Can't wait.

    Lychee tea with lychee jelly

    I've always enjoyed any boba milk/iced tea I have ordered here! Also their sizes are ginormous or at least the large cups are, but it's great to have more of their delicious drinks. Really easy to find parking quickly outside and go in to order. Doesn't usually take too long to get your order. Just a pleasant experience every time and they offer so many different options on their menu. Great for groups of any size to find something they would like to drink.

    Dragonfruit x Jackfruit

    This boba spot is the real deal! The jackfruit is my personal favorite, but they got tons of good selections and you can combine flavors also. Lucas has the best recommendations so if you're not sure, ask the pro himself! I try something different every time and it never disappoints. Fruit is super fresh and always on point. Hits. the. spot. Every. Time. GO

    I am picky about my boba places, so I'm not joking when I say this might be the best boba I've had in all of CA. Truly, it really is excellent quality, the service was excellent, and I highly recommend stopping. I love trying new places... But this place makes it make me not want to do that. It makes me just want to keep coming back and trying something new every time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

    I just love boba and while I was visiting my daughter in Oceanside we decided to try TNL Boba Tea to satisfy my boba cravings and it did not disappoint! First of all the gentleman that served us was so nice and patient in helping us decide what to order. We ultimately ordered a guava yakult smoothie with boba, a winter melon milk tea with soy milk and boba, a winter melon iced tea, no sugar and boba and a purple fruit drink of some kind with boba. Everyone was very happy with our selections and I would definitely return here when I'm visiting in the area. Oh and the boba was perfectly chewy!!!

    Good drinks, clean space, and lots of options This is a solid boba spot that we've been to a few times and usually try something new each visit. We ordered a red dragon fruit bowl, a brown sugar Thai tea, and a dragon fruit tea. The bowl looked really nice and came with plenty of fruit and granola, but the flavor was pretty mild. You could taste the dragon fruit, but it was very natural and watery, so it didn't stand out much. The drinks were the highlight. The brown sugar Thai tea was slightly slushy but hit the spot. Not too sweet, not too plain, just really balanced. The dragon fruit tea was refreshing and easy to drink. Service was fast even on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was very clean. Noise levels were fine with music playing and a relaxed vibe. They have a big menu with milk teas, iced teas, coffees, and desserts, so there's a lot to choose from. Pricing felt average and what you'd expect for a boba spot. overall, it's a place we'll keep coming back to.

    Coconut Thai tea, added Coconut milk
    Allyson D.

    This spot is good for the drinks, but it's an interesting hole in the wall. If you frequent this shopping center, you'll notice this spot on the left corner, but you walk in and find a counter on the left. You can't see the drinks being made and there's no seating. The drink menu was a lot to take in, but i decided to go with a coconut thai tea with boba. We're given a buzzer and have to wait outside. Many people came to the shop while I waited for my drink. I was shocked when I received it! It was gigantic and so special! Lol. It was exciting. It had these noodles in it that I wasn't expecting. I liked it and will probably show up here again.

    Free cup. Thanks Lucas!!

    TNL boba has the best boba in Oceanside. The boba is so fresh here. And they use fresh fruit in their smoothies. Everything is so good. I highly recommend. The service here is 5 stars. Lucas is great!!

    Blue berry and lychee with boba
    Joel O.

    The options and energy... decent pricing for what you may be used to... love the fresh fruit and even an icecream option. Serious talent!

    Joe M.

    Great spot for boba in the area. They use natural ingredients and not powders. I would go back again if I was in the area.

    Chamoy, strawberry slush
    Maria R.

    Wow!!! Fast and delicious! Very impressed will define one back! Everything was delicious

    Guava slush with boba
    Sandra M.

    The drink was beautiful and yummy, but the music was SO loud when I walked in, I was immediately overstimulated. I know it's all made with fresh ingredients but it was almost $10 for my drink, which is STEEP for a boba place.

    Avocado smoothie with flan. Smaller one same just with matcha in it.

    The tea is amazing, but the boba is too squishy and almost disintegrates in your mouth

    My daughter and I were in the area visiting the flower fields and wanted a refreshing drink after…read morebeing in the sun and before heading home for an hour plus drive. Luckily after a little research, we found Tea Monks. The parking lot was packed on a Saturday afternoon so I thought we would be in for quite an adventure just to find parking. Fortunately we were able to find a spot fairly quickly. The line was out the door for Tea Monks which can only be a sign that there is deliciousness waiting for us through the front doors. The line moved quickly which was both a pro and a con. Since it was moving so fast, we would have to make a choice from all of the great options. I was torn between the cabana berry smoothie and the green apple slushie. Ultimately landed on the slushie and decided to add strawberry pearl. There are a few small stools to use while waiting but not much room other than that. Fortunately our drinks were up in a matter of minutes. The first sip was heavenly and hit the spot. I'm always skeptical ordering "green apple" because I'm scared that the apple flavor will fall flat but this one was perfect. I could taste the apple and the tartness was great. The strawberry pearl was a perfect addition. I'm so glad we decided to stop here before heading home.

    I ordered a Classic Black Milk Tea with light boba and 75% sugar. I was sorely disappointed as the…read moredrink tasted like watered down milk and sugar. My drink was so pale, that I'm convinced they forgot to add the black tea. This was my first time at Tea Monks and most likely my last.
