Interior

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!

满杯橙橙 Super Orange left $5.95 and Jasmine green tea $5.75

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

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.

Mango Mochi is the way to go! It's more of a dessert than a drink, but that doesn't bother me. Enjoy!

Very cute shop. Perfect for meet up, study, work, or just chill with a nice cup of matcha latte!…read more Staff/baristas are super friendly and helpful. All their lattes are amazing but my personal fav is the matcha. Excellent quality matcha and you can definitely taste it! Been here a few times just to grab some lattes and pastries to go but love the vibes. Will be back someday to just chill and enjoy the environment.

Pretty damn busy coffee spot and it was hopping on a Saturday afternoon when I popped in here…read more So many people in here studying, catching up, etc. And it was like Asian central so I felt right at home except for the fact that I might have been 25+ years older than everyone in here lol. I am in the closet about my age and still think I am like a kpop kid lmfao. Who am I kidding here?? Its a great space, but would agree they could probably cram in a few more tables. There's also another back area, and more tables back there. Guy helping me was very patient and helpful. He was also handsome too, always nice to have eye candy, even if I could have been his ajima!! I ordered a hojicha cloud as I love a good hojicha and I prefer it over matcha. I don't like sweet drinks so I asked him how sweet and he responded that the drink has 15g maple syrup in it. I froze like a deer in headlights because I didn't know what that meant but was impressed with how precise he was. I told him to just make it half that. I waited a few minutes and then my iced hojicha cloud came out. The foam on top was delicious and the hojicha was well made. I guess I could do with 7.5g of maple syrup! I sat outside as they put a bunch of chairs out and enjoyed the people watching but also some of the Miramar Air Show going on too. They came real close and did some neat tricks! Parking is a bit of a problem in this shared lot but overall, this was a good experience and I would return. Nice coffee bar with good drinks and good vibes!

Cute little coffee spot tucked away from the busier parts of San Diego. The area itself is pretty…read morequiet, but once you step inside, the shop, its really cute. The interior has this fun sketchbook/coloring-book feel, almost like you're stepping into a drawing that came to life. They have some seasonal pumpkin drinks right now, so I tried the pumpkin cold brew and my friend got the pumpkin matcha. We actually came mainly for the pumpkin bagel, but unfortunately it was already sold out when we got there around 9:30 AM. So if that's what you're coming for, I'd definitely recommend getting there early! I'll have to come back and try it next time. Overall, such a cute spot for a coffee run and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

For anyone who enjoys cute aesthetics along with their coffee, this place is perfect…read more You can't tell from the outside, but inside it's a nice coffee shop with a cool black and white 2D looking space in the back. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready. I've been here a couple of times and the service is usually pretty quick. They serve different coffees and teas as well as some food like toasts, empanadas and other breakfast items. Recently I had an Iced Pumpkin Matcha ($7.25/16 oz) and Pumpkin Bagel ($7.25). The matcha tasted more cinnamon than matcha but it wasn't bad. The pumpkin bagel is shaped like an adorable pumpkin but doesn't taste like pumpkin. They put a good amount of pumpkin cream cheese in it though. It was fun to try but I wouldn't get it again for the price. It's a cool coffee shop that serves some unique seasonal items. Check them out if you're looking for something different than your typical coffee shop.

Camellia is still one of my favorite boba places in San Diego! I appreciate how there are regular…read moreflavors that stay on the menu, as well as seasonal flavors which rotate monthly. My husband and I usually get a jasmine milk tea and oolong milk tea. For both drinks, we get full sweetness, light ice, and add boba. This time we tried a seasonal drink, the banana milk matcha, which was well balanced. The banana flavor didn't overpower the matcha, and I can really taste the quality of the matcha. Another seasonal favorite that I often get is the strawberry hojicha fresca. The service is quick and efficient. They always have our drinks ready soon after we place the order. You can also order online, and then pick up in store. The inside is always clean and well lit. It's a great place to catch up with friends, work/study, or just do a quick grab and go! I'd recommend checking out Camellia the next time that you have a boba craving.

One of the best milk tea spots in San Diego! They brew all their teas (and even sell some of them)…read moreand have a monthly rotation of fun, seasonal drinks. Their boba is also cooked well and not too sweet. An underrated part of their drinks is their BOBA RATIO! They have the perfect amount where you have some but jot too much boba by the time you finish your drink. Their teas pack caffeine, and their menu is helpful in that they're ranked from elastic caffeine to most caffeine; super helpful!!
