    It's a cozy spot and you primarily order at the kiosk. It's mostly self-service so you won't get much face-to-face time with the staff. The mochi matcha was good meanwhile the mango drinks were a tad sweet even though I order for "less sweet." There are many varieties of drinks to choose from.

    Soooooooooooo good! Easily one of my fav spots in SD now. Avomangosweet dew (10/10): less sugar, regular ice. Went to the counter to add mochi for an additional $1.30. The mochi is super unique in that it's like a stretchy paste! This drink was sooo creamy & loved all the different textures. Perfect sugar level, could even do with a little less sugar. Lots of seating available inside, seems pretty popular among college students. Took about 10-15min for the drink to be prepared!

    Parking: two parking spots in front but more spots in the back and there is street parking. Do not park in front of the liquor store as the owner watches cars like a hawk and will immediately have you towed and/or come outside to yell at you. No AC inside the shop so it gets very hot. Music a little loud. Order at kiosk and pick up when your number is called. Forced to enter phone number for order. They text you when it's ready. They have a list of order numbers on the screen next to kiosk and it will tell you the expected wait. Seating is benches along the wall with tables. Bench mats are pretty dirty. Drinks take 15-30 minutes depending on how busy they are. Recommend to order ahead by at least 30 mins if you are in a hurry. Tried: Jasmine green tea with soybean mousse $5.75 - not really a fan of the flavor. The mousse was very odd. Super orange $5.95 - really good, I come here just for this. Lime explosion - too tart for me, tastes like limeade. Get less ice in the drink, there is too much ice. I also get half sweet as they are all very sweet. They have a bag that carries the drinks and it's super cute with cats on it.

    Mochi mango and Rice Frost drinks

    Not your average Boba place. This spot is always busy and for good reason! We ordered the popular mochi mango and rice frost boba. All their boba is handcrafted using high quality ingredients making their drinks top notch!

    Seasonal icy peach with brown sugar boba and pear jelly
    Christina T.

    I get 3CAT fairly regularly and the quality of drinks is pretty consistent. My favorite regular menu drink is the avomango sweet dew. The best drink I've tried so far is their seasonal icy peach with pear jelly added. The pear jelly is worth the upgrade if you like jelly type toppings, though be warned that it's fairly sweet so adjust your drink's sugar accordingly. I have a sweet tooth and typically find the "less sugar" option to be the right amount. My only gripe is that my brown sugar boba is often a little hard, not freshly cooked. The pricing is on the higher end for boba, so I am a bit stricter on what I expect to receive.

    3CAT is the go-to boba spot that you cannot really go wrong with. I do recommend placing an order online before you get to the store, especially during weekends and rush hours or you might be waiting for half an hour. I like their Jasmine Biscoff drink as well as their Jade Matcha. I will say that the drink is more milk ratio heavy, instead of tea heavy. I do prefer a tea heavy drink, but I still think that it is good and a nice treat to have. I like the decorations and the cat pictures they put up. It is a very warm-toned, and minimal aesthetic interior. There are a few chairs and benches letting you sit and chat with friends, but not many tables, so it wouldn't be ideal to do work. Parking: Located in a small plaza so parking may be hard to find.

    I've visited several 3 Cat locations, and I've found that the service is consistently friendly, polite, and welcoming at every store. The only difference I noticed is that the tea at the Kearny Mesa location isn't brewed as strong as it is at the other locations. I still ordered my favorites today: the Jasmine Milk Tea with double mochi and the Matcha Smoothie with oolong jelly and mochi. Both were still enjoyable. Every 3 Cat location has a simple, clean, and minimalist atmosphere. They also make drinks very quickly, so the wait is usually short. The only downside is that the parking lot is quite small, so finding a parking space can be a bit challenging.

    Cool

    I'm a dog lover but still decided to try 3Cat based on a recommendation from a friend of mine. Came in and right away you can smell the sweetness, you can bropaboy catch diabetes is you sit in here for long periods of time lol. Jk The place is cool and decorated with 33 cats arranged throughout the store. The crew works hard and pushing drinks out as fast as they can. There are displays that tell you when your drinks are ready but aren't truly accurate. My drink was to take 28 minutes which stressed me out but actually came out in 16! The drink was delicious and very sweet. No complaints here. I downed it before I made it to the Pink Curebound Concert. I wouldn't hesitate to drop in here again. Be back soon.

    Cheese Berry $7.99 and Mochi Mango $7.49
    Cyn K.

    Overview: very busy, long wait, but interesting and yummy drinks ---- Cheese Berry $7.99: - Berry Smoothie, Berry Puree, Biscoff Crumbs, Cheesecake Cream - tastes like a blueberry cobbler in a drink form - I liked this one the best - indulgent, fruity, creamy, worth the calories Mochi Mango $7.49: - Not sure what type of smoothie (maybe mango?), Milk, Fresh Mango, Handmade Rice Mochi, Whipping Cream, Wafer Crunch - Drinking the mochi was an interesting sensation - the drink tastes the best if you mix it all up together - They say they have oat milk available on the menu and only after waiting for 20+ minutes when they notified me that my drink was ready, they told me they don't have any and there's no other milk alternatives - minus 1 star bc if they had run out they should take it off the menu or have a sign by the ordering kiosks - creamy mango flavor, thick texture bc the mochi ---- Notes: - parking is located around the corner and in the back - order from the kiosks (there's 2 of them) - adjustable levels of sweetness - seats available inside but can be very crowded - takes a while for drinks to be ready bc they're so busy but they give you a time estimate which is fairly accurate - kind of chaotic ambiance bc there was so many people inside waiting for their orders - the decor was cute and cat-themed ---- Overall: I'd come back to try their other drinks, be prepared for a long wait, and they might not have any milk alternatives

    We ordered on Uber Eats. The drinks were not melted when they were delivered. I ordered the Mochi Mango. It had a good amount of fresh mango in it. Drink was delicious and refreshing. I would definitely order it again.

    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 ‍

    Matcha chestnut
    Mirei K.

    3 cat always takes a very long time making the drinks and by the time the drink reaches to me, it's already melted. It's always crowded so not a great spot to hang around, I would suggest ordering ahead online.

I always only get the Honeydew Bubble at 50% sugar with light boba. Tell me why it still tastes like 100% sugar? The same thing happened with the Mango Sago, which was wayyy too sweet. And what makes it even more disappointing is that they've raised their prices. One drink is now just under $10, so when I'm paying that much for ONE drink, I expect the recipe and quality to be consistent every time. Another thing that really bothers me is seeing the girls working with their hair completely down. It's honestly pretty off-putting when you're handling food and drinks, and I really hope the team is being properly trained in food safety and hygiene standards. I genuinely love Urban Bubble, which is why this is so disappointing. Please adjust the sugar levels or train the team to follow the recipes more consistently! There is only ONE person who consistently makes my drinks perfectly every time. Hopefully he reads this and knows exactly who he is lol.

They have a large selection of milk tea, iced tea, and matcha drinks to choose from. They also typically offer a sample of one of their drinks daily that they rotate out. The drink sweetness and ice is fully customizable, and you can order through the kiosk or with the cashier. I ordered the roasted buckwheat and barley milk tea with brown sugar (tapioca) jelly at 75% sweetness and 75% ice. It is a unique flavor that I wouldn't normally go for, but they offered it as their sample when I visited and it was delicious! There was a strong barley flavor and the drink had the perfect amount of sweetness. The jelly was also very good. My friend ordered the genmai green tea with the silky custard topping, which she was also a big fan of! Their silky custard topping reminds me of egg pudding. On weekdays, the shop offers a fun promotion where if you order 2 drinks, you can play pinball for a chance to win a discount on your drinks or receive a free sticker. The interior is very airy and spacious with one large table for seating and benches to sit on at the edges of the store. I am already looking forward to coming back to try some of their other drinks!

Their music is always fun (kpop, R&B..etc) The parking lot gets tough to park between 6-8pm during the weekends but other time are manageable so I usually stop by before it gets busy. It's a small shop that delivers quality drinks! I'm so glad that they won me back! ;)
