Not sure why the line here is always long because I didnβt think the milk teas were that good. Maybe because they offer food? They do have an extensive menu.The line moves fast. Thereβs two register inside and they take two parties at a time while every one waits outside. When itβs time to pick up your order, they call your name from the outside pick up window.We got the almond milk tea and pistachio milk tea. Both are super sweet. The almond was more powdery and the pistachio was more milky. It wasnβt consistent and I didnβt taste the tea flavor.For food, we got spicy popcorn chicken. It comes with sweet and sour sauce but it was missing from our bag. The popcorn wasnβt so crispy, it was more meaty. Only the small broken pieces were crispy. It also wasnβt βspicyβ.We ordered sriracha wings (6 each) and spicy sweet chili (6 each). Both came with ranch for dipping. The wings are actually really good. The pieces were large, juicy, and outer was soft. Wasnβt baked crispy but cooked.We also got calamari (came with marinara sauce) and vaso de elote bites (came with ranch).My favorite would be the elote bites. Itβs like tator tots filed with corn and cheese. Then the wings. My least favorite were the calamari. It had a plastic string around the outer ring right under the fried shell. Didnβt feel safe ingesting it.You can avoid the line by ordering on their website to receive 10% off with promo code βtakeout10β.
I loved coming here. Had a few issues with the Thai Tea, there was speckles in the tea. I returned my drink and asked for a new one, was informed that the bottom of the container had that from the soy milk. Was returned a drink that was well shaken up and told the soy milk was out of new container. Didnt buy it threw drink away. Thanks and you lost a good customer.
The brick toast was dope. Boba teas were all delicious. Love that everything is customizable from a sugar perspective too, as some places are just really really sweet.
Update: I had this drink 3 times, its consistently pretty great. The default sweetness is 100%, which isnt as overwhelming as other places. 75% may still be good too if you want to cut back on sugarOh, I tried the crepes. Theyre pretty good! Would recommend with strawberries, bananas, and half nutellaOriginal review:I came here on a whim and it was... Surprisingly very good.I ordered a blended coffee, with almond milk and boba.I saw a few of the reviews and I was worried that this place was overhyped, but its not. Its not going to change your life, but its pretty good! Im not a big fan of the atmosphere, but the quality of the drink speaks for itself. I cant vouch for other drinks though, but I recommend giving it a try
This is a cool spot for sure. They seem to have a wide range of sweets, surely to please anyone. The menu is quite extensive so it more time to decide what I wanted. The first night I got the tiger milk tea which I recommend. The boba was soft and the milk had an earthy taste to it. The almond milk tea was okay.
My daughter was on the hunt for Boba; were big fans of it. We were in San Diego over the weekend and she found this place. The menu is very expanded with many options. There are so many options for popping pearls. The lady who helped us was very friendly and helpful. I brought a boba for the way home. Next time were in San Diego, this is going to be a must stop!! I would highly recommend.
Some certainly fine customer service I donβt think Anybody is quite as accommodating as these folk here. Very helpful and very patient. And the Boba!
Hate the system! love the food, but they almost always take forever to get an order out some costumers get their order wrong and have to wait even longer I have witness it, today I had my own experience I called in an order and when I got there my order was not ready and I still had to get in line to pay! Mind you I had my 4 kids waiting in the car so I decided to just leave this was at 7pm and at 850 they send me a text to let me know my order was ready! Like what? Huh? Dont get me wrong I love supporting small business and this hasnt been my first time at this place but today was like πbad point for me ... sadly
The establishment has a great feel to it. The drinks are always on point and the time for your order is reasonable to fast. All the employees are courteous I love there Thai Milk Tea.
Only alternative milk options are soy and almond milk wish they would add oat but still happy they have the other two ps they do not accept American Express
Awesome in every detail. Food, sides, slashes. Thank you.
My kids are all over this stuff! I had a Mango Smoothie Shake & some JalapeΓ±os poppers. I must admit, it was very very good.
Best made to order drinks Ive ever had. And my Boifriend and I go to different tea, boba, and coffee places. This place has nailed everything from presentation, to taste. Everything is very creative and I look forward to trying everything on the menu.
Best snow Thai tea around! And all of the staff is super nice even when they are slammed. They are super patient with me even when I take forever to order. Also, they have super cute pins!(All of the girls that work there are hella cute too, only gorgeous girls work there tbh)
Honestly the reviews are right, this is the best Boba spot Ive been to, Ive only been once and I got like a Taro smoothie and it was so good! The employees are so nice, there are a ton of options and the prices are decent . As you would expect though, it was pretty busy.
Always delish specially their pitaya bowl yummy
Love their boba. Fast and friendly service. Order their Thai Tea!
Everything I order is always on point. The lines may be long but it is well worth it. They have a a big menu that gives a variety of choice for drinks, food and small snacks. Thai tea is my favorite.
Good tasting drinks such as mocha frappe, milk tea etc.
Friendly staff with awesome customer service. Everything from yummy drinks, desserts, and appetizers. Always welcomed right away when coming in. Drinks are always made in speedy time and great quality. Love that they give stamp cards whenever you order a drink or dessert. Definitely one of my favorite boba spots I go to often.
I LOVE THIS SAN DIEGO BOBA!! The Boba always taste fresh. They really care about getting your order tasting perfect everytime.Even COCO my dog loves it. Ok now lets talk about the BRICK TOAST!!! melt in your mouth warm, toasted to perfection with honey its a must have. They are always busy so it does take a little more more time, but so so so worth it. SEE YOU SOON SAN DIEGO BOBAππ€ππ€π
This is the only place I will get boba from. Reasonably priced with a great rewards system and customer service is very effective. Various options when choosing how to order. They send out text messages when your order is ready. And the taste 10/10! Will not be going elsewhere unless I move cities
Its one thing to serve amazing drinks, but they also have delicious fried food! Cant wait to try more of the menu!
Their drinks were average at best. My friends and I ordered, Taro Milk Tea, Tiger Milk Tea and Coconut Milk, all with boba. Instantly you can tell the drinks were made from powder, you can feel it when you drink it. I must say the boba is good. Soft and has some sweetness to it. Definitely better boba shops you can go to in the Convoy area like R&B Tea or Kingfu Tea.I like their system of ordering and pick up of drinks. They only allow a certain numbers inside to order, everyone else must wait outside and wait to be called in. Preventing over crowding. Thereβs a pick up window outside their shop. The waiting area has a tent for thirsty customers which a thoughtful of them.
Loved this boba place. The only place I trust and buy my avocado shake boba.
Surprise Surprise. Boba? They are more than Just Boba. Chamango, emapanadas, chicken wings, Açaà Bowls. All just so delish!
The staff is so friendly! My daughter and I went last night for mochi. Our cashier RJ was so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back..
Theyve altered the storefront to better accommodate social distancing, and its really great! You can also order by phone or online. The food and drinks are great as always!
A very fun, lively place to relax, play board games and just enjoy your drink. One of my favorite places to come to. I come here frequently with my family to get boba and I was even a customer before they changed their name from Lollicup to SD Boba Tea. I am proud to see they have grown as a business and wish the only best for the employees and management there. Highly recommend coming here.
I freaking loved this place. First time trying the Brick toast and it blew my mind. The options of everything was astounding and the quality of everything I had was on point. Overall an amazing experience, one of the best! if not the best Bubble tea place Ive ever been to.
The second I walked in it sounded like all workers behind the counter greeted me. Awesome first impression! Drinks and food are on point, lots of tables and games to play if you chose to. They also have wifi and music playing. A gentleman would walk around a couple of times and ask if everyone is doing great and if they needed anything. Another would take any plates or trash from tables while everyone enjoyed their stay. Fantastic customer service!!
My FAVORITE boba place. I go out of my way to visit every time Iβm in San Deigo. Always packed, but my order always comes through quickly. I love the Fruity Pebble with boba & the passion fruit mochi. This is the very best boba for an awesome price! Only 5 dollars for a large specialty drink with boba, which for me is unheard of. Please considering supporting this awesome business.
One of my fav boba spots, I come from North County for their awesome macrons and I always get the rose milk tea with honey boba YUM! There is usually a line when I go but they hustle and get through the line quick.
Best boba tea.. yum yum
My wife enjoyed her boba berry tea. Will have to check out their food items too when we visit again.
Omg where do I begin?! I have been going to SD Boba Tea since a long time ago...when their name was lollicup lol. I have been coming here with my family and even taking friends here so much, that the owner knows us. Hes super nice and friendly. The staff welcomes you when you walk in all the time. The boba, drinks, food... everything is amazing ! You can always find me here; thats why I have so many pics... my favorite drink is the taro w/ boba. Really recommend SD Boba and Teaπ
Fun food, amazing staff at pick up. Order taking staff need to be patient with new customers. Remember the menu is not just 3 choices like in n out.. First impressions are big. Ill try it again.
Seriously the best boba we have tried. My kids love it here.
Crazy busy, crazy good boba and mochi too
I got the jasmine milk tea with boba. It was perfect and the boba was smooth and chewy. the employees were also friendly.
Boba is good and they are quick, even when they have a line out the store.
One of the best and original in the area. Love their Bobas, its soft and sweet.
We arrived as they were opening one fine Sunday. First in line and we were quickly ushered inside where the gentleman behind the counter began offering us suggestions and answered our questions. He identified the picture from IG that was not labeled, knew every macaroon on sight, chanted dark, ancient and horrible words to keep out bad vibes.After order was placed, we waited outside for our order. A lot was asked for and they delivered without any problems. 10/10 recommended.
Great place delicious boba and pastries but the line can get sooo long. Otherwise love this place :)
Loved all there opitions.
Awesome spot for all your dessert needs, hot, cold and food too. Theres also some trinkets you can buy inside. Very friendly and attentive, definitely recommend π
The staff and owner are really friendly! My favorite boba place! I have been going for years! Love both their food and drinks! I miss hanging out in their store pre-covid! They used to have little games you could play with your friends while enjoying your boba!
Great menu, highest quality boba tea in the Chula Vista area. Very helpful and courteous staff.
I ordered 1 mango smoothie,and 1 honey dew snow bobaOne mango ice cream macaroonAnd 1 passion fruit mochieFirst of all the boba was really sweet, really really sweet!!The honeydew was really sweet too .The ice cream macaroon was extremely hard, it also had freezer burn.The mochie was decentThe overall rating is expensive for the quality you get
Was there at perfect time. No lines as this place is always packed
Honestly, this place changed. I ordered onion rings, mini lumpias and a honey dew milk tea and I was disappointed with everything. The onion rings are tiny and greasy, before they were big and really good. The lumpias were supposed to be chicken and they taste just like eggs and the honey dew milk tea is gross. I wanted to try something new and honey dew is just honey dew extract with milk. So pretty much just paying for milk with bobas. Not going here ever
Hands down the best boba spot ive tried, have been going for years and the excellent food quality hasnt changed
By far my favorite place to get boba, coffee and snacks. Their wings and elote snaks are some of my favorites.
Love this place! Make sure you download the 5 star app too π
Iβve been getting boba here for years now! Completely worth grabbing a tea here! Big fan of their stamp card!
Yep this is the place to get your booba tea
I would give no stars if I could. This is the third time I ordered through the app or the phone. It will always say itβs ready to pick up but I still need to wait for almost 30mins outside and itβs freezing. They donβt even have the fire thing for customers. The staff wonβt even apologize for the inconvenience.
Order ahead is supposed to be easier only thing donβt even try calling itβll be faster if you walk-in, depending on the line, or stand at the window and hope someone looks your way to help you.
Love the place. Great drinks, friendly staff. The owner is cool and a hard worker.
Good boba shakes, friendly staff. Definitely will be back
The teas here are just perfectly blended, and the food they serve is fresh and quick! Its a tea shop worth routinely going back to and trying something different!
The best boba... Great food & service!
Would come back. Excellent service. Good selection. Looked like they had some other goodies we didnt try but looked tasty. Fairly standard taste for a boba shop but the service was spot on.
I was craving something sweet and out of the usual cake dessert so I came here and the food was really good. The boba teas are amazing, Nagasaki milk tea itβs my favorite and the aΓ§aΓ is good but if your deciding wether to order the small or medium size just order the small size if you order the medium size theyβll just basically put the same aΓ§aΓ amount of the small size and the rest of the space from the medium theyβll just be filling it up with granola. It was a disappointment, it literally had 75% granola, 20% aΓ§aΓ and 10% fruit. Which I would think iit would have more aΓ§aΓ because itβs a bigger size but no.
The employees are all super nice and learn your name, the tea is delicious(especially the China Jasmine) theyre taking all the necessary Covid-19 precautions. They also have crepes, brick toast, and appetizers. 10/10 would recommend anyone go here.
This place is my favorite for boba in all of San Diego. They have such diverse options. They also have food and the shop is super cute. Since Covid they have you wait outside to order safely and then wait outside for your order. They are incredibly friendly and are all about customer service. They do punch cards, buy 6 drinks and get the 7th free as well as a phone number club that offers you discounts.
Best place for boba
Great treats! The staff are friendly and helpful. Your order gets done quickly.
Love this place, best Boba in town π customer service is amazing π
My girlfriend and I come here all the time! She always gets either the taro milk tea or Thai milk tea. I always get red velvet milk tea or red velvet iced coffee or a chamango. The brick toasts are bomb too and customizable to your liking! Also, their loose leaf teas are addicting! My favourites are the black currant and the blood orange. Best boba spot in the area in my opinion!
Always great boba, always great service!
Best boba shop
Always courteous staff. Always delicious Boba!
Great boba and fried food.
