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. read more

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 read more

Parking 3/5 -Limited parking spots in the adjacent plaza, not the easiest parking situation tbh Service 5/5 -I ordered using the iPad in the cafe, there's the option to come back to cafe for pick up upon receiving text notification but I just waited because it didn't seem busy(Friday afternoon). My order came out in about 3 minutes and staff was friendly. Food 4/5 -I ordered the Mochi Mango(keep cream top, minimal sugar). This is my favorite drink from a San Diego cafe! The mango comes in a puréed form, so refreshing! The mochi texture is suckable through the straw, suuuuper soft and thinner than most mochi you usually eat which makes it so fun to drink/eat. I do wish there's less of the icy slushie part of the drink and more of the mango and mochi bc those are the best parts. It also comes with a whipped cream top and little bits of cookie crunchies, both really yum as well. Ambiance 5/5 -The cafe has a generous amount of seating and warm lighting, chill spot to chat and hang out. read more

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. read more

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 ‍ read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Mochi Matcha 2026 ($6 and some change) - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

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 read more

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. read more

I really like 3Cat. The flavors are good and it's not too sweet, which is actually kind of hard to find with drinks like this. But honestly, the main reason I come here is for the mochi. We ordered ahead because the line is always long. It estimated about 20 minutes, but it was ready in less than 10. That's great if you're already nearby, but we were still on the way, so by the time we got there the drink was already melted and watery. I think that might have caused the mochi to ball up too. It was like floating in the melted drink. I had to drink half the cup before I even got a piece, and I couldn't even catch it with the straw. read more

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. read more

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! read more

This place gets extremely busy. I really enjoy their fruit tea drinks, but waiting over 20 minutes for drinks is just not my cup of tea. I tried the biscuit milk tea, and I'd rate it about a 5/10.. it mostly tasted like milk to me. My friend ordered the Avomango Sweet Dew, which was actually really good, and I also got the Lime Explosion... that one was SO good. but the long wait time is the biggest downside. I noticed a lot of online orders, which probably explains the delay, and I'm guessing it's like this most of the time. I'd definitely come back, but only if there's little to no line read more

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.

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. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Mango Mochi - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been a fan of 3CAT since they opened. One of my favorite drinks is the mochi mango smoothie with less sweet. It has a nice balance of tart and sweet. The mochi topping is so pleasantly fragrant of sticky rice. My other favorite drink is the mochi barley burst. The black milk tea is super floral and milky tasting, and I love the barley popping boba. It has a nice texture similar to oatmeal. You order on a kiosk or you can order with your Snackpass app. The wait time on weekends is usually really long and it gets crowded. read more

I've always wanted to try this place after eating somewhere else in the area. I got the mochi mango. I like mochi and the mochi was pretty good. I was able to adjust the sweetness to half. Service was pretty quick considering you order on the tablet. The place was a little small but there are seats inside. I've heard of 3Cat before and I would definitely come back. read more

DELICIOUS mango drinks - I crave them at least once a month. Highly recommend you order BEFOREHAND because the wait is much longer than your average boba spot (and makes perfect sense). I always get at least one mango mochi drink sub the cream with cheese and it's perfection. Every time I order anything else - I end up favoring that. read more

3CAT is a very eccentric place for Asian-style drinks. This location is in Clairemont Mesa, San Diego, but I've seen other locations in Arcadia and Tustin. You can get boba drinks here; however, they hit you with the "chewy drink" concept from a different angle. I appreciate it, but I had to expect it. If you get their popular "mochi mango" drink, for example, you get a drink with mango and tons of cream, but it's also loaded with chewy, thick rice pudding/mochi-like bites in the drink. The drink leans more toward dessert than drink and, if you are expecting it, it's quite nice. 3CAT is quite busy and it took about 30 minutes for me (10 minutes over my quoted prep time) to get my order; however, I'm glad that I was able to come in and enjoy my dessert. If you order here, then I'd recommend ordering in advance through your phone. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

With the abundance of bubble tea rooms opening in San Diego, you might wonder why should you check this one out. I first heard of it being popular in Los Angeles, so I was happy that we ended up getting a branch in our own backyard. I like 3CAT for the fact they are different: They have handmade mochi inside some of their most popular drinks. Actually all of their toppings are very unique and differ from other boba spots. My favorite being the popping oat barley! Beware parking is a bit tight, but so is everywhere in convoy. It's very easy to order because, there is a self service kiosk to add your order, and waiting time screen to know if your order is ready. Which I personally think is smart, considering they can work on your quality of your drinks. In addition, get through the long lines faster! Recommend: Mochi mango Mochi barley burst read more

this is definitely a dessert beverage spot! we tried drinks from their seasonal and recommended drinks. my favorite was the mango drink but it was all very yummy. prices were great too.. i believe it's about $7 per drink. it does get crowded on weekend and parking lot is difficult. i recommend going during the weekday. read more

I came here with a friend since neither of us had been to this particular boba shop. The place was jammed packed and it took over minutes to get our order. I ordered the jasmine tea lime explosion with oolong tea jelly added, 50% sweet. I liked how the drink was refreshing and tart, but didn't find anything particularly special about it. The tea jelly was a bit on the soft side, almost mushy, and there were barely any added to my cup. If they're going to charge extra for toppings, then at least make it worth the money. I enjoyed my drink, but it wasn't worth waiting over 30 minutes. This goes down as one of those boba shops that I can say I've visited, but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come back. It's not bad, but it's just average. Oh, if you like cats, they have a lot of cute cat figurines on the shelves. There are a good number of tables and chairs, but it's packed! During our visit, it seemed like a hangout place for a younger crowd (teens to early 20s). read more

I've been to 3CAT a handful times and my experiences have been different each time, a mix of good and bad experiences. But, I return to 3CAT because they have the BEST tasting handcrafted beverages in my honest opinion. First, they use Straus milk in their beverages. It's high quality and I can taste it in all their milk drinks. The toppings are unique and delicious, so can't find a mochi topping or barley popping boba anywhere else! The first few times I've gone to 3CAT were weekday evenings and weekend nights. Those are the worst times to visit, and at one point my drink took over an hour to make. For one drink. Sunday afternoons are still a bit of a wait but not as bad the night time, after peak dinner hours. What made my drink order more efficient was using Snack Pass, as I've been told by others they give you an estimate of when the order will be done so you can time it right. My order was ready by the time I came in! The mochi drinks take the longest to make but are my favorites on the menu! The drinks are always consistent, but the ultimate downfall would have to be the wait. Other than that, 3CAT is among my top 3 boba shops in San Diego by far! read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Matcha Mochi, Mango Sweetdew - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I love this place. It's my favorite!! I work in Orange County and I usually get the one from Tustin, but I'm so glad they opened one here in San Diego where I live. Mochi Mango and the Mochi Barley burst are my faves! I have also had the orange tea - SO GOOD! Service can be slow during certain times of the day, especially the evenings probably between like 6pm - 9:00pm however you can order on SnackPass or Hungry Panda App for convenience which is what I do. I come here almost every week two or three times a week lol. It's literally my favorite. I have an addiction. The establishment is well lit however they could do a better job and cleaning the tables after people leave. It's always so sticky. Also, the restroom could be a bit cleaner. I went in once and I didn't even wanna use it because it looks so dirty. Other than that, I do love the drinks here. Best Boba place in town. read more

I've been here so many times! Each time, there's a crowd that I don't mind. Well one time, I waited an hour with my bff and was a little grumpy but when I got my mochi mango, life was better. 3cat makes every drink to order. Each handcrafted drink is made with attention and love. It isn't masses produced, so I think that's why they take so long. Overall, I'll keep coming back with my bff and friends because their dessert like drinks are just that good! read more

I love 3Cat!! Although this cute boba shop is always packed and busy, their drinks always hit the spot! I would recommend ordering your drinks online way ahead so you can just pull up and pick up your order. Parking is very limited as many spots are reserved for other nearby shops. So, it's definitely easiest to order ahead for pick up. As for drinks, I usually get the Avomango Sweet Dew smoothie less sweet. Very refreshing and a reasonable amount of sweetness! There is seating inside so there is room to hang out, but no public restrooms. Overall, because of its popularity and long wait times, I really consider 3Cat an order-ahead boba spot that I'll keep frequently since the drinks are so delicious. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Avomango sweet dew smoothies - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Wow this place is PACKED on a Friday night. We ordered online and came a few minutes before the estimated time, but it took 4-5 mins longer than the estimate. There were like ~30 people standing around inside and outside the boba shop all waiting for their drinks. Luckily there is a monitor with all the order numbers and the estimated time remaining (and you get a text message when your order is ready), so the process seems well-mannered and streamlined. Both order kiosks were out of order though, so online order via phone seems like the easiest option. Both the Jasmine Milk Tea and the Golden Amber Milk Tea (a type of oolong) were tasty and had nice tea flavor. The Golden Amber Oolong doesn't have as strong as a roasted flavor compared to other types of oolong, but a lighter, rounder flavor. I appreciate how the milk teas are made with actual fresh milk (Straus organic milk), and not milk powder. The prices are reasonable as well for using fresh milk (usually boba places charge more for fresh milk). They were already sold out of the brown sugar boba when we ordered, so we tried the agar boba (more like a transparent tiny jelly, not entirely round and smaller than regular boba.) Also tried the Avomango Sweet Dew and it was tasty as well. A smoothie texture with a nice subtle mango and coconut flavor. Next time we might try the Mango Sweet Dew or Mochi Mango which look like the most popular drinks (based on how many cups of mango there were on the counter!) Very very busy so doesn't seem like a relaxing spot to sit and hang out, but cute wood-based warm decor and friendly service despite being super busy! read more

I still really love this place!

It has my card there memorized once I just input my phone number. It makes pick up such a breeze, if you are doing a bigger order, I definitely recommend ordering online. I am so obsessed with the mochi. I ordered this weekend and they actually had a special little holiday Christmas bag and I bought one! It's so cute for only $.15 and it's such good quality and big.

I think this might one of my fav boba places now! We got the mochi matcha and mango sweet dew, both with boba and regular sugar. They were both tasty and perfectly sweet! The mochi matcha was really good as it was nicely creamy and sweet and you can actually taste the matcha. The mango sweet dew was refreshing and I like that you can taste the fresh mangoes. Both drinks had lots of inclusions since we added boba and the mochi matcha comes with mochi and the mango sweet dew comes with agar boba. The boba was also good, nicely chewy and not overly sweet! We came on a Friday evening and luckily found parking in front. There's a good amount of seating inside and drinks came out pretty fast as it wasn't too busy. I will definitely be back! read more

It wasn't too busy inside, we easily ordered on the kiosk and waited about 5 minutes for our drinks. We got the mochi matcha and mango sweet dew, both with regular sugar and boba. The mochi matcha might be one of my favorite drinks! It was creamy, perfectly sweet, and I could taste the quantity of the matcha. The mochi and boba added some nice texture to the drink. The mango sweet dew was refreshing and had pieces of pomelo inside. The boba itself is also a highlight, soft and chewy and not overly sweet like other places.

wow I LOVE this place, their drinks are pretty unique I got the rice frost which is a sweet fermented rice smoothie with water chestnut popping boba and cheesecake cream and it was unlike anything I had ever tasted before! I was expecting it to possibly taste like the Korean drink sikhye, it didn't end up tasting like that bc of the cheesecake cream but it was still delicious! If you like subtle/mild cheese flavors then you will definitely love this since you can really taste the cheesecake cream. The water chestnut popping boba had such a unique texture I'm usually not a fan of popping boba but I would definitely come back for this! My friend got the avomango sweet dew which is fresh avocado smoothie with coconut milk, agar boba, and pomelo. This was so refreshing and yummy! It also seemed like really good value for all the included items in the drink considering other places would charge more for less topping/components. My boyfriend got one of the milk teas and it was one of the best milk teas I've ever had, it had this perfect roasted flavor that added depth to the milk tea. They were pretty busy when we went and it took around 20 min to get our drinks so it would be faster to order ahead via snack pass that way it's ready when you get there! There were a lot of groups sitting down and standing inside and outside too! There is minimal seating I think there were about 9 tables maybe? Don't let the location of this place intimidate you bc the inside of this place is really clean and cute w some cat decor and almost feels like you're in a different location entirely! The location seems random and a bit sketchy since it's in the only business like this in this plaza and in the same plaza as a liquor store but given how busy they were even until closing when we went I wouldn't be worried about coming here late at night and the liquor store actually looked like it was closed before this place surprisingly! Overall I would definitely come back given how unique and tasty the drinks were! read more

They have an in-store promotion right now where you buy two drinks and get a $10 gift card. Found out on their kiosk. The parking situation is terrible. The liquor store beside them takes up a bunch of parking spots with little to no customers. I don't understand this. Tables and chairs are dirty here. There are drink residues. We didn't come at a busy time, but drink will take around 20 minutes to make. They do have quite a bunch of online orders. I kept seeing my in-store wait time fluctuate between 6 mins more or less. I saw that they have some drinks already premade halfway in their deli fridge. Their drinks seem pretty complex. Music and ambiance are nice here. read more

3CAT @ Convoy My friends and I came during the opening week, all drinks were buy one get one free. Pretty good deal; and lines were wrapped around the door so I knew I had to try. We decided to get an oreo one, mango cream, and mango matcha smoothie. It was all pretty bland of the actual flavor, and too sweet. I really wished I liked it, the presentation was great however and the place was a good vibe. Parking was awful, very small complex so I'd recommend going for street parking. Hoping to try this again one day! read more

Solid boba option among many in the area. The two things that stood out on the menu for me were the options for a soybean mousse vs. the standard cheese option and the barley popping boba. I got the jasmine tea with soybean mousse and popping boba with minimal sugar and light ice. We came on a Thurs at 2pm so it wasn't busy and I got my drink probably a minute after I ordered. A good amount of indoor seating but no outdoor. The tea flavor was so fragrant, I loved it! Not sure I loved the soybean flavor with it but I'm happy I tried it. It's essentially the same kind of mousse texture but they also put a nutty powder on top. Felt the same about the barley popping boba. Happy to try but I wouldn't do it again. You really do have to like the popping boba texture. The filling inside is more gel like than chewy like typical boba. It had a pretty light barley flavor for me.
