Bobalicious definition: make the boys go loco (for pearls) I love coming to a new town and finding a boba shop with some good offerings. Ignoring the bites portion, they allow you to really customize your drink to whatever you enjoy. I ordered at the kiosk and went with their Jasmine Milk Tea with Oat Milk, less sugar and ice and without the boba cream foam. Drink took about ten minutes to make with all the other orders, but that's okay since the venue had a lot of open space for seating and even some boardgames. Staff here were super nice. They asked me to sample the drink to see if it was sweet enough before pouring it into the cup. I thought their creation was def sweet enough so no further adjustments needed, but I appreciated the reach out! My drink was great and I loved the large portion that was given. The boba itself didn't have as much flavor or chewiness to them, but they're always a fine addition to making these drinks what they are. Next time I'm in Monterey, I wouldn't hesitate to return for another round.

Popped into this place in downtown Monterey for a boba and ordered up a Watermelon and Kumquat Lime Slushie, 24 oz. ($7). Service was prompt and attentive. I paid cash so it was a bit smoother. The business has a large causal seating area with a large tv.

A funky little spot so the tons of boba drink options. I got the taro berry and it was so creamy and flavorful and the boba had the perfect chew. Great spot

Had some errands to do in Monterey, and decided to do them on foot so I could visit who I needed to and find a milk tea while I was about. BobaLicious is an interesting spot. The environment is welcoming enough, but I'm not sure why they added "& Bites" to the name. The bites are bags of chips or candy, and ice cream. The name made me hopeful for something a little more substantial, but that's on me. My Jasmine milk tea came out slowly. While the person behind the counter was accommodating and kind, and the WiFi was good, the tea took a while. I've learned to order 75% sweet just in case, and boy let me tell you I'm glad I did. Even the 75% sweet is a bit much. If I ever come back it'll be 50 or less. I ordered regular ice, which on a cool day melted almost instantly. While the taste was decent enough, I'm not sure what exactly in my Jasmine milk tea is making it pink. Is it the milk? Is it powdered tea? It doesn't taste gritty like powdered tea... the mystery lives on I guess. The tea is ok, and if I'm wandering around and have a hankering I might come in for a lower sweetness level. It's definitely not a place I'd travel to visit, though.

The owner was super kind and made sure that we enjoyed our drinks! The drinks were super good and over all the place is very welcoming.

Wait time was around 20 min for 1 drink since there is only 1 employee running the place. But boy was it worth the wait! Absolutely delicious!

Stopped by this boba location while visiting Monterey and was very satisfied with our drinks. There was only one worker there and he was friendly. There are also couches, board games and snacks if you decide to hang around (:

And I did not want any sugar. I ended up waiting for all the ice to melt before I drink the rest of it, but it seemed like there were young teenagers working there, and they were polite, but I'm sure if they just have a weekend job. Lol. Everything was fast and organized with my order, I just don't understand why the tease came out two different colors. I also thought it was cute how they had a number of different Schlotzky's one could buy out in front as well as Asian snacks! Hee

The customer in front of me ordered 7 drinks. She calls for help on the walkie talkie and goes to make the drinks. Her helper comes to help and after getting around halfway through, then comes over to take the orders. They were out of large cups so I got regular instead. Asked for 50 percent sweet with boba for 2 different drinks. Mine tasted watered down and my daughter's drink tasted like it was half full of syrup. It was sickeningly sweet. Boba was half dissolved like when you reheat boba in your drink the next day. Anyways, they were disappointing $7 drinks. We drank about half and tossed the rest. Would not come again.

You'll find friends making collages from magazines, lifelong friends battling over chess, employees working on their free wifi, and students practicing a presentation to other customers. It's a community. This is definitely a locals only place in the heart of touristy downtown. The food is completely sourced from Costco and they use a microwave judiciously. It does not taste great, but it does remind you of mama's sandwiches that she'd put in your lunch bag as a kid. Coffee and coffee drinks are available and rival Starbucks in their variety and "fun" trends. But they also fresh grind different beans and can do classic coffees (like pour over and cappuccino). It is not the best coffee in the entire world, but it kicks my butt in the best way. I can actually taste the love.

Some may disagree with my 5 star rating because the quality of food is disappointing to pretty much everyone, but to me this place fits the bill of a real and welcoming coffee shop where the barista remembers your order and you know the owner's name and hobbies. It's a home away from home. And that's why I love it.

There are a half dozen other breakfast spots in town that we enjoy when we are in Monterey - we blew all of them off. This place is too fast and too good, honestly to want to get in the car and head over to any of those other spots. Is this place fancy? No. Is this place big? No! Its tiny! Is the food gourmet? No! Stop asking questions. The food is delicious and hot. The coffee and tea is yummy and hot. Everything is hot. The people are super friendly and hot. I like how real they are too - it's Saturday at 6am, everyone is dragging. I asked the people behind the counter how they were doing and they were (gasp) honest! We don't want to be here! Getting to work at 5am on Saturday is terrible but I respect and appreciate a human response. I really like this place - even the pastries are good and thats a good thing because we bought a bunch of them. I will end with this and then leave you alone - we left this place at 615am and sat down in the main grandstand in Turn 4 at Laguna Seca at 715am to watch epic Historic car racing and sank my teeth into a HOT and beautiful croissant breakfast sandwich with bacon in it in the heavy fog. Everything was wet and cold - I drank my hot tea and ate my food.... and it was simply glorious. Thank you to the real humans at Plumes. Yall rock.
