Wow so pretty
Clara C.

GET THE GRAPE PEAR DRINK! The pear jelly is sooooo good!! The mochi topping is so interesting. It has a marshmallow texture. This is an unassuming location on Convoy. Actually it's a bit sus next to a liquor store. The store owner comes out to yell at you if you park in front of his store. (Not me but I've heard) Credit card only; order on kiosk Pro tip: order online ahead of time! Then you don't have to wait in the line. The bathroom in the back is so disgusting. I hope they clean their kitchen better than they do the restroom.

I finally made it to the shop after hearing good things about it. It's clean inside and not busy when i visited. I ordered Osmanthus Oolong Milk tea, less sugar and no ice. It's perfect for me. I liked that their tea actually taste like tea and not too milky. I'll def come back to try other flavors. The parking lot is small so it could be an issue but it's hard to find parking everywhere in that area ‍

Dragonwell Matcha Panna Cotta + Brown Sugar Boba

What's the hype about this place? Try it once, but you'll probably leave either unimpressed or irritated with the lack of efficiency, cleanliness, and overall quality. The parking lot was completely full with other vendors basically fighting for space, so we decided to order online and pick up instead. 3CAT Handcrafted Beverage offers a wide variety of drinks, especially their specialty milk teas, fruit teas, and layered drinks with toppings like panna cotta, mochi, and cheese foam. Pro tip: just park on the street if you can, it'll save you a headache. We waited in the car for a bit before heading inside, and immediately it felt warm and uncomfortable. Even after 15 minutes past ordering, our drinks still weren't ready. There are two screens showing order status, one for in-person and one for online orders, and you order through kiosks. There is seating, but it's limited and honestly not worth it. We managed to grab a spot, but the bench was filthy... hair, dust, and even a live bug. We got up immediately. We waited another 15 minutes before getting a text saying our order was ready. When we went to the counter, they couldn't find one of our drinks. It genuinely felt like question marks were forming above her head like a cartoon. The pickup area was super disorganized, and it turned out the text was sent too early and our second drink hadn't even been made yet. They took our first drink back and told us to wait again. By then, our seats were gone, so we were just standing there with no time estimate, no urgency, just waiting... for another 10 minutes. By the time we finally got our drinks, my matcha dragonwell panna cotta drink was basically room temperature with condensation all over the cup. Likely from the lack of AC and just sitting there too long. That alone was frustrating. Taste wise, everything was just okay. Definitely not even top 5 boba in Convoy. The dragonwell matcha panna cotta tasted like milk with a hint of green tea. Even Starbucks has a stronger matcha flavor at this point. The boba itself was chewy, which was one of the few positives. The panna cotta was mid, more like a basic egg pudding, and I could barely taste the cheesecake cream. The mochi Oreo drink was better. It came out fresh since it was the one they had to make still. The mochi topping was actually really good and I preferred it over the boba. The Oreo drink itself was solid, but it's also a pretty simple drink so it's hard to mess up. Overall, this place feels overhyped. Between the long wait, disorganization, and lack of cleanliness, it's hard to justify coming back when there are so many better options nearby.

Gotta get the Mango Mochi drink when you're here. I mean it's just dessert in drink form and I'm so here for that. I love their mochi, it's not exactly like the japanese chewy form, and more of a pudding with some added chew which is perfect in a drink. It's creamy, and refreshing, and reminds me of mango sago in a cup. The only quip is that sometimes it's hard to drink because so much is packed into it, but like I said, dessert in a cup. A fair amount of seating and it's cute inside. Although the parking isn't the best. Also, be weary of the lines. They put attention into their drinks which is awesome for the customer, but not the best when it comes to waiting in line!

Mochi Barley burst
Lena L.

Heard good things about this place so decided to come grab a drink and hang out w friends after dinner. There's 2 kiosk to order by the door and plenty of seating inside. You get text notification that your drink is ready! The mochi barley burst is really good, mochi is soft and barley burst a good contrasting texture. I also liked how mochi and barley burst maintained their texture after being in the fridge.

First time finally actually trying this place because the parking for this plaza is just sooo hard to get and then the side streets are decently packed from various businesses too. Once you get inside, there's quite a lot of seating compared to how hard it is to get parking. There's multiple ordering kiosks to lessen the wait time. I tried their Rice Frost drink because it sounded unique, haven't seen a sweet fermented rice drink at other places. It tastes pretty true to the description! They have this water chestnut popping boba in the drink too, which I'm glad I didn't swap for something else since it was satisfying in taste and texture.

Mochi Matcha 2026 ($6 and some change)
Leanne C.

Mochi Matcha my order is either Less Sugar with additional Cheese mousse foam or less sugar and no cream top I opt out for the whip to feel less guilty. Hold your breath if you go to the bathroom because it's super dirty and stinky odor from human feces. I don't think any employees clean the bathroom throughout the shift. 3 cat should probably look into that in terms of cleanliness. Thankful there is even a bathroom to be again. I'm just disgusted every time I use the bathroom. I've never came to the bathroom "clean". Tables are never clean either when coming so if you value cleanliness like me go to the bathroom if it's in service and get tissue from the front and get some soap to clean it yourself or bring your own personal spray. Overall, 3cat has really good beverages. There is plenty of people around any time of the day and even if it may not be clean at least the beverages taste good enough to make a 30 minute drive depending on where I'm coming from.

matcha mousse
Bernadette T.

Currently writing this review enjoying my dragon well green tea and jamming to old Justin Bieber and Rihanna and other 2010 classics :) good vibes and drinks out here! Saturday at 12:30 is not busy at all and seats are easily available. Ordering and customization is easy on the large order screens, and it took about 10 min for our drinks to come out. Overall a chill place to hangout with high quality drinks are high quality. drinks ordered: - Mochi Mango 3.5/5 -- very yummy but a thick texture, which is a bit intrusive to the drink experience. But the top layer of cream and mango is tasty - Dragon Well Green Tea with Matcha Mousse w brown sugar boba 4/5 -- dragon well is a new tea selection, which is supposed to be a nutty and toasty green tea. The matcha mousse has a VERY strong matcha flavor! and pairs perfectly with the drink. I got minimal sweetness and it was perfect for my taste. I also added brown sugar boba, which was tender and chewy. - Mango Sweet Dew 5/5 -- the natural mango flavor and sweetness was quite yummy, added pear jelly which was a nice topping to add to the fruity vibe

Love 3cat. I always get the mango mochi. Thanks to my friend Cheryle for putting me on. I don't know how they make their mochi but it's so good. Love the slight chewy texture of the mochi and the fresh chunks of mango. I don't care much for their milk teas. I prefer a regular milk tea elsewhere. Giving it 4 stars because the wait times can be long even if you order for pick up. Also, they do not clean the tables and the bathroom fast enough. It can get real busy here at night especially on weekends. If you don't want a long wait, I'd go early in the morning or something midday. Parking is a hit or miss since they started charging for parking in that plaza now. 3cat only has a few free designated parking spots which get full fast when they are busy. So that leaves you with street parking if the parking lot is full.

Peach Oolong Milk Tea
Jacquelyn M.

Stopped by 3CAT while I was in San Diego, I've been once before. The quality of their tea is great and delicious. I ordered a peach oolong tea with boba with less sugar and regular ice. The tea itself is great, the boba is alright. However, the wait for the drink was 20 minutes. I have mixed feelings about that, because although the wait was very long, the drink is still good quality. The ambiance is nice and they offer indoor seating.

Fiona N.

Don't be afraid to visit due to limited parking. I've been putting it off but I found out there's parking in the back when I got there. Ordered from the kiosk, waited for 15 minutes for the drinks. The tea was just ok imo. The seating area is nice with lots of chairs and tables. I can't say anything about the service. Someone called my name and pushed the drinks out so that's about it. Will I be back? Most likely no. But I do like the bag I got though!

Matcha Cloud Jasmine Latte
Liz G.

YUM! I LOVED the drink I got, it was refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. I have tried to replicate it but have never gotten it perfect. Service 5/5: Good and Quick (I order online and it is always ready when I arrive) Ambiance 4/5: Bad to park and hard for wheelchairs. It is always crowded inside and that is not the businesses fault but is important to know before going

Mango Mochi
Dary P.

This place is very popular. I ordered my drink at the kiosk and it took about 25 mins to get it. I have to say that the mango mochi is very good. Fresh mango with drinkable mochi. I opted not to get the boba so I can enjoy the mochi. It wasn't too sweet and very creamy. Don't expect much interaction with the staff as they are super busy making all those drinks.

Food/drinks: 5 Service: 5…read moreAmbiance: 5 I am so glad I found Boba Religion. I think it might be my new favorite boba spot. I have already been there twice in the past week, which should tell you how much I enjoy this place. The aesthetic is super neat. I love the decor and the overall vibe. It is colorful, bright, and full of character. They also have board games, and we ended up playing a game of chess, which made the experience even more fun. I have tried a few drinks so far. The double matcha was one of my favorites. I enjoyed it very much. It did not have that overly bitter matcha flavor and was sweet in a really balanced way. I also ordered the Oreo matcha, which was super delicious, refreshing, and tasty. The taro milk tea was good, and the ube cloud coffee was delicious. It actually reminded me of the Vietnamese coffee I usually get in Orange County, so now I do not have to drive all the way there to get something similar. The drinks here are great because they are not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like them. I also tried the purple rice yogurt just to check it out and thought it was okay. Service was also quite friendly, which added to the overall experience. I really enjoyed everything about this place. The vibes, the ambience, the customer service, and especially the drinks were all on point. I love this place and it is five stars all the way for me.

At $8.75, it's on the pricier side, but with the BOGO deal it felt worth it. I also grabbed the pandan waffle, and wow -- that hit the spot. Warm, fragrant, and fun to snack on while waiting for drinks.

I'm surprised some people could sit down and work/study successfully. Note: I had a positive experience last time getting a blended drink, but today I felt like trying their Thai Tea (not blended) and two Korean Corn Dogs. I ordered the hot Cheeto one with cheese and sausage. Did not wind up receiving the hot Cheeto one. Got a regular one with all cheese, no sausage. Partner got a potato one with cheese and sausage, but only 25% of the filling was sausage. We ate them anyways and wanted to leave it at that since the parking was so difficult. Then my stomach started gurgling in a very wrong way. I don't know if something went wrong with the Thai tea (was the milk they used expired?), or with my Korean corn dog possibly being prepared wrong with a new hire, but my body rejected it violently once I got home. I'd be very cautious about coming back here. Most likely won't. Couldn't finish my Thai Tea. Had to throw it out. I'm hoping this was just an unfortunate one time thing, because it seems like people for the most part have a good experience from their food and drinks. This is my third ever time visiting Urban Bubble. The past two visits were for blended drinks and they were great! The girl working the cash register on the evening of 4/24 around 8:00PM was really helpful with suggesting recommendations and did great. I don't know who prepared my food and drink but maybe they need extra training, heads up. If you order food, I suggest that you check the food before leaving the building instead of trusting that it was correct and finding out once you've already left.

The main downside for me is the parking situation. It's pretty limited, and nearby parking isn't the most convenient. Especially during dinner hours, about 2/3 of the spaces are valet for the restaurant next door, which makes it even harder to find a spot. Overall, a decent experience, but probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to.

This is just below the price for an Extraordinary Desserts cake slice, which is not only bigger and more complex, but also made fresh. We noticed the crepe cake slice we got had that dusting of ice sparkles, indicating it was frozen and defrosting, and additionally, as it defrosted, the more it started leaning. If you haven't tried Yiko Yiko, it's worth still checking out. That said, I think you'll be satisifed after one or two visits.
