    A hidden gem located in a busy strip mall that makes delicious boba drinks to satisfy anyone's cravings. It wasn't busy at all on a Sunday afternoon. The place was clean and quiet. They have a few tables for indoor seating. We ordered at the front counter. The girl at the register was nice. We got the taro smoothie, the honeydew smoothie and a lychee bliss fruit tea. Our drinks came out in a timely manner and each was delicious! The smoothies were of perfect consistency, not icy and flavorful to the end. The boba was warm, nice and chewy. The lychee bliss was good too, just the right amount of sweetness. Refreshing. It's definitely a great place for boba and highly recommend!

    Taro Smoothie and Lychee Bliss Tea

    10/10 recommend!! We got the Taro Smoothie with boba and the Lychee Bliss Tea with both, and both were AMAZING. The taro smoothie was probably the best I've ever had, and the Lychee Bliss Tea was light and refreshing. We'll definitely be back!

    2020 has brought so many challenges, and more than ever I've wanted to make a conscious effort to support small businesses. That's what brought me to Bee & Tea -- and I'm so glad I stopped by. I had no idea they offered waffles, and let me just say... they're delicious. The pandan waffle especially stood out: not too sweet, lightly aromatic, and the texture was on point -- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Such a comforting treat. They also started offering green Thai tea, which I actually prefer over the classic Thai tea. it's smoother and has a lighter, more refreshing flavor. And now they ask if you'd like boba added, which I truly appreciate because not everyone automatically wants it. It's a small detail, but it makes the experience feel more personalized. Overall, it was a great visit and a nice break in the middle of a tough year. I'll definitely be back to try their signature drinks next time!

    Lots of options on their menu! They were even willing to customize my order for me. The drinks tasted good. I had their Mango yogurt drink and my husband had their strawberry yogurt. (We ordered two more drinks but I can't remember what they were called.) They gave us tip to mix the yogurt drink first. I'm glad they did because if you don't, you'd get a full taste of yogurt flavor lol! My husband thought it was kind of sweet but got better when we mixed it well. We plan to come back here again when we're in the area.

    YUM! This is a great spot in the area if you want your quick fix! Their large cup is HUGE and you definitely get your money's worth. Great variety of different flavors and everything we ordered was yummy! They were on the more sweeter side, so next time I'll just order 1/2 sweetness. However the actual tapioca boba pearls itself was inconsistent in all of our drinks. Some of the boba was hard in the middle, and not the soft and dense bouncy texture you want in a tapioca boba pearl. Inside is really cute & clean! Service from the staff was so friendly and they made the drinks quick, I will definitely be back!

    Cute little spot the ambiance is calm. Nice decor. The customer service is superb. The cashier was patient with me when I was indecisive on what drink I wanted. They had a wide variety of drinks. I ordered an Avocado smoothie with honey boba and cheese foam. Not really a fan of boba so I don't know why I got boba? They put a lot. The flavor was good so I plan on going back and next time I'll avoid the boba. Just my preference

    The front of store  plenty of parking

    Ok first time here. Plenty of parking. Clean inside with music and cool lights and decor. Plenty of seating inside. Like the vibe and customer service was great. Plenty of drinks and some food items. I got a large and to my surprise much bigger than the typical large size.. I got a Pina colada with boba and WOW very very good I also purchased Bao bun chicken and pork very tasty. Definitely a must try I will be back hands down a 5 star!!!!

    Watermelon slush and Taro slush with white chocolate. It's a little sweet but bomb! boba very smooth and not chewy!
    Desaree V.

    Very yummy! My taro slush with white chocolate is a little sweet but bomb! The boba in my son's watermelon slush is smooth and not chewy like some boba! Warm and delicious! I come from carmel valley and that says a lot since im by mira mesa and usually go to ding tea in poway

    Love that this place finally opened up in PH! Cute, clean spot, small owned business, friendly staff, and amazing drinks! We walk here sometimes and it's a nice treat for sure!

    chicken bao

    A pretty good boba spot in National City! On my last visit, I ordered a matcha dream tea with honey boba, less sweet. The jasmine tea flavor was strong, the matcha flavor was not too grassy and the sweetness was just right (I don't like super sugary drinks). The boba had a little less flavor than other shops but still sweet and chewy. It will fulfill your boba craving, service is fast, and the inside was clean and had a good amount of seating. I also like how they offer baos! I tried a chicken bao and it was a nice little snack to have with the boba. They are a bit smaller than expected but still a good snack.

    Cute little boba shop in a plaza next to other restaurants, businesses, and a grocery store. I came on a Monday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. The shop is very spacious and has a cute vibe. They were playing Jonas Brothers songs when I got there! Also note that there are no public restrooms available. I ordered a Strawberry Lychee Lemonade that was available for either a slushy or juice. The drink had a nice tasting flavor but I don't think it was worth it for the price of $8. The boba was nice and chewy and not too sweet. Maybe I'll try one of their milk teas next time!

    I was next store for my nail appointment and decided to treat myself to a smoothie after! I got the Purple Kingdom and my mom got the avacado smoothie. We both requested for our drinks to have no added sugar and no dairy. The server at the front desk was very accommodating and helpful answering any of our questions. Inside it was clean and had nice decor. Will stop by if I'm in the area again :)

    Are the flavored drinks real fruit/syrup/juice/powder?

    We use real fruit and juice in all our smoothies as well as the açaí bowl. Our blended boba smoothies are made with flavored powder and our milk teas are made with syrups, the same as all boba tea shops :)… Read more

Lots of drinks to choose from, and the staff were very helpful in explaining my menu questions. Ended up with an iced watermelon fruitaro (like a milk tea but w/o the milk) and some crystal boba which ended up just the right amount of sweetness that I was looking for that day. Thank you!

There are…read morethree other locations of this bubble tea chain in SD County, but this one happens to be the closest which was still a drive of nearly 15 miles. Most of the drinks were offered in three different sizes... 16, 24, and 33 oz. Toppings were $0.75 each which is about par nowadays. Milk Tea, Hot Tea, Flavored Tea, Iced Fruitaro, Fruit Smoothies, Lemonades, Slushies, and a Blended Series were the categories. Five types of Macaron Ice Cream sandwiches were also sold. My choice was a 24 oz Rose Peach Green Tea with regular sweetness, 50% ice, and honey boba pearls added. The blend was very fragrant from the rose component. I seldom see this option with fruit teas at other places. The boba pearls could have been cooked longer to soften them. The processing time to make my drink wasn't very long. There was at least one other boba tea shop within this sprawling mall so there is competition under the same roof. My initial experience with Tea Monks was worth a four star rating.

There was plenty of seating inside and outside so we grabbed a booth and made myself comfortable until my order was ready. The inside was decorated very cute with lights. We ordered a Thai and Taro blended milk tea, a Tiger Tea with boba, an order of Cheese Curds and the Brick Toast with Honey Butter. The Thai and Taro blended milk tea was so good! It had such a balanced flavor! The Tiger tea with Boba was very earthy and subtle flavor but still so good! The Cheese Curds were freshly battered with a golden fry on it that really showed how clean their oil is! And the Brick Toast with Honey Butter was such a soft bouncy bread that would pair beautifully with a morning coffee. Over all the entire menu is something I want to keep exploring and I definitely recommend SD Boba Tea!
