Recently, I found myself in San Marcos and decided to give it another shot at this location and I'm so glad I did! I've been back a few times now, and every visit has been great. The shop is in a convenient shopping center with plenty of parking, which is always a plus. It's a small, cozy spot with a really cute setup. Each time I've gone, it's been the same person working, and he's always incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. I've tried a few different coffee drinks, and every single one has been delicious although the Mazapan Latte is my absolute favorite! Definitely a must try. The combination of great service and consistently amazing coffee is exactly why I keep coming back. Definitely worth checking out and making the drive since I'm in Carlsbad.

We got the cookies n' cream bingsoo!! I love bingsoo!! It was so good!!! I need to try all the flavors!! I need a second person tho, it's a lot! I should've stopped there, but then I got macarons and a slice of cake. The macarons I got were the Nutella boba and caramel monkey. The caramel monkey was my favorite because it was super soft, fresh, and the cookie had great flavor. The Dubai cake was good but really rich. I definitely need milk or tea with this one. Service is good. It was pretty empty when we came here. I love this place, but I waste a lot of money here and I'm on a diet. That's the only reason why I haven't been here in a long time. I'm pretty addicted to this place.

I wouldn't typically leave a review like this, but our visit was far below what we expected. My…read morewife, children, and I stopped in last Thursday evening to try the bubble tea, and unfortunately the customer service was very poor. The fried chicken itself was good, and the drinks were decent, but the overall experience was overshadowed by the staff's attitude. We asked one girl what she recommend to which she simply replied I don't know and the other one seemed irritated by our questions. This was our first visit, yet they didn't seem interested in helping us! Neither was particularly welcoming or friendly. To make matters worse, we overheard the employees' conversations which included lots of profanity and complaining about work, not a family friendly experience! It's disappointing because the products themselves were enjoyable, but the poor customer service made it difficult to enjoy the overall experience. 2 stars, completely unprofessional.

Finally another good boba place in San Marcos! I'd have to say that San Marcos is growing a bunch…read morein terms of getting cool new boba spots in North County. My hubby recommended this place to try when he found it on social media! I'm such a sucker for boba drink places so we made the drive from Escondido to make a pit stop here for a quick boba run before I had to go to work. It was definitely worth the drive. Located in the plaza where Mama Kat's breakfast used to be, it was so cute, modern, and bright inside. Very quiet and the workers were very attentive in welcoming us in. We liked the photo menu signage that's right by the register because it really helps when you have a visual of all the drinks. I got the Ube Foam Matcha Latte with matcha mochi -- which btw I've never heard of that before -- and my hubby got the Chocolate Oreo Slush with matcha mochi. Both were very very good drinks! I was in love with the matcha made in my drink, it's hard to find good matcha nowadays; and combined with the ube foam made it so much more flavorful. My hubby's icy slush was actually really good, we both love Oreo slushies and they made it really really well. I probably shouldn't have got it at 75% sweetness because it really did dumb down the flavor drastically. We had to mix it and let it melt a bit to taste the Oreo slush properly. Great boba place with great drinks! They even have their own take-home ice cream tubs in the freezer.

I rated 3 stars because I was a bit disappointed on the amount that was actually given as well as the taste. I understand products can vary from photos but the pudding in my order was significantlyyyy smaller than anticipated. It was also more of the crumble cookie than pudding, so I kept drinking mushy bits of the topping The banana flavor was also more of a whiff than a punch. For other matcha enthusiasts that use it as a measure of authenticity, I do think the color is reassuring. As for the Sea-salt Japanese Brown Rice tea, I'm saving it for later before work! And will update when I try. I do like the atmosphere, and see it as a great spot to work from.

I was visiting San Diego and came across Matcha Maiko, so l decided to stop by because I'd been…read morewanting to try their matcha. When I walked in, the kiosks weren't working, so ! waited at the front for someone to take my order. Instead, all I could hear was an older lady loudly screaming at one of the employees. It was loud enough that I could hear everything from the front counter, and it honestly gave me secondhand embarrassment. The employee was being embarrassed in front of everyone in the store, which made for a really uncomfortable atmosphere. Because of the confusion, I ended up ordering through their website instead. Unfortunately, the drink was disappointing. They added a huge scoop of strawberry syrup that completely overpowered the drink. I went there to try Matcha Maiko's matcha, not a cup full of strawberry syrup. On top of that, the syrup wasn't even mixed in properly, so l kept getting mouthfuls of syrup at the bottom I was really looking forward to trying this place, but between the uncomfortable experience in the store and the poorly made drink, it wasn't the experience I had hoped for.

The CRT TV playing VHS tapes, along with the selection of comics and decorations makes this feel like a portal to a different place. The coffee and tea selection is good, with everything they serve being made with attention to care and quality. The service is really welcoming.

My favorite sandwich is no longer on the menu so the last few times I've had to try something new. They had a Birria sandwich that sounded yummy but I didn't really want bread so I asked to substitute rice instead. The bakery case was full of desserts. The pumpkin cheesecake and citrus caught my eye but I knew I wasn't going to have room if I finish my lunch. The GF peanut oatmeal cookies are my all time favorite though. I enjoyed my lunch and even had some leftovers. We sat out on the patio to get some Vitamin D. My only suggestion to make the experience better is to have two staff at the front, one taking orders and the other making drinks. There was a little wait to order during shift change.
