### Review I keep coming back for the Vietnamese coffee topped with cookie butter--it's that good! The rich, flavorful coffee paired with the sweet and crunchy cookie butter is such a perfect combination, and it's become my go-to order every time I visit. I also love that the shop has trading card nights, which makes the whole experience even more fun. Great drinks, fun atmosphere, and always a reason to come back!
I came here on a Friday night and this place was poppin. There was a market or something going on and there was a live DJ and it was straight vibes. There was a lot going on so I just got my drink and didn't stay around too long but the cashier was really sweet and my drank came out pretty quickly. I got one of their matcha/ coffee series drinks, a cookie butter hojicha. The drink was a little too sweet for my liking. The cream foam was nice with a little cookie butter flavor but mixed with the hojicha it was very sweet. I wish I could've gotten less sweetness but it was a nice dessert. I think the drinks may be more of a sweet treat dessert than a casual boba/ tea drink. Aside from that it looked like everyone was having a good time and it seemed like a chill place to hang out.
Overall I'd rate my experience 3.5 stars. Bobalicious is a casual boba shop in the Mira Mesa shopping complex next to Hobby Lobby. Lots of parking spots in the shared lot but it does get busy during peak hours. They serve a variety of milk tea, coffee drinks, slushies, seasonal drinks, and some food. They have a tablet kiosk to order from or you can order at the front. Our drinks came out within a few minutes. There's a few tables inside if you choose to stay and enjoy your drink. The reason for less stars is the inconsistent pricing on the main menu versus the kiosk (the kiosk shows all the prices at least .25-.50 cents more for all their drinks), the fact they charge more if you ask for less ice (most boba places do not charge extra), and the drinks were smaller than other places. Not sure if I'd return...
This place is the number one OG boba spot! They're always the NICEST, the most creative, with the most delicious flavors and always on point! They're also fair on pricing and drinks come out quick. The space has plenty of seating and has some good music on to enjoy. Love this place! They've been around forever and there's a reason for it!
Went here for my favorite popcorn chicken and saw these matcha drinks on their menu. First time trying Matcha Cloud, and I didn't know it could be this good and refreshing! 10/10 Also, thanks to LANA for the great service! She's the best! Visit her at BobaLicious Mira Mesa! They have a bunch of matcha and hojicha drinks on the menu and Can't wait to try their cookie butter next!
I also ordered the tiger tea, and it was nothing like a traditional tiger milk tea. It was orange in color, had an unpleasant taste, and I ended up throwing the entire drink away. Traditional tiger tea is typically made with brown sugar, which gives it its distinctive appearance and flavor. If your version is made differently, it would behelpful to let customers know on the menu so they know what to expect.

Stopped by Bobalicious in Mira Mesa looking for something to eat and drink, and this spot made a strong first impression. From the moment I walked up and heard Pretty Brown eyes, I already liked the energy. Inside, the atmosphere was relaxed, and ordering was easy with either the self-order kiosk or the register. The menu offers a solid variety of drinks, including Vietnamese coffee, milk teas, smoothies, slushes, house specials, and boba options. I went with the cold ube Vietnamese coffee with mini boba, and it easily became the highlight of my visit. The coffee had that bold Vietnamese flavor, while the ube added a smooth, unique twist that made the drink memorable. This one takes first place for me right now. If you want a drink that stands out from the usual lineup, this is the one to order.
I've been coming to Bobalicious for a while now, I always love it when I come in and now they added a matcha menu! Cilla recommended us the double matcha and cookie butter matcha. 10/10 service and taste!! The vibes are always chill and they also open at 8:30 everyday now so it's perfect for early birds. Hits the spot every time :)
Bobalicious had a rebrand recently and are now serving matcha!!! Which makes you question it but it really genuinely IS GOOD! If you like Hinar's matcha, this place is so damn close to it that Hinar isn't even worth the drive for me anymore. They're also super nice here and have other refreshing drinks my partner tried the watermelon sugarcane juice (not pictured) and it was also good! They also don't charge for oatmilk!!!
Ah, refreshments after a morning hike! Great spot with many options available. Busy shopping plaza with lounge seats to chill. They were out of coconut juice but sugar cane was available. Got the Thai tea and Okinawa milk tea. Delicious drinks and won some prizes for the kids. Book marked for future visit!
From start to finish, this place is a 10/10--truly deserving of more than 5 stars! It absolutely lives up to its name. The customer service was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and polite. The gentleman at the front (wish I caught his name) did a phenomenal job and made sure everything was perfect. It may seem like "just a boba place," but the service alone will make you go out of your way to come back. The vibe is also a huge plus--modern, chill, upbeat music, TVs playing sports, and even a game machine. As for the drinks, the flavors are genius. I got the taro cookies with honey boba and the cookies & cream with strawberry poppers--both blended perfectly, and the boba was insanely fresh and melt-in-your-mouth good. Safe to say I've found my new favorite boba spot in town!
Bobalicious has a NEW matcha menu and I'm hooked! My favorite so far is the Cookie Butter Matcha--it's creamy, refreshing, and the perfect little sweet treat for these hot summer days. Triscilla is the sweetest and so helpful. She even remembers to add my extra Biscoff bits every time. If you love matcha or need a go-to spot for a refreshing drink in this heat, you NEED to try this menu!
If I ever have a drink craving and in Mira Mesa this is my go to spot. Coffee, matcha or something refreshing they have it all! Triscilla and Nathan are always so helpful and give me their top recommendations! They're also always so sweet and welcoming

Came with family from Boston and we all enjoyed Bobalicious, last time I was here like maybe 3-4 years ago and there's been such an upgrade with the shop. It's so cute and cozy now and ordering the brown sugar latte or taro milk tea is always good, my favorite go to drinks!! Triscilla helped with our order and everything came out amazing :) read more

Went here with my friends on the weekend and the drinks were really good ! Love that they had a wide selection of drinks for those who prefer matcha/smoothies over milk tea. Their matcha was good and rich in flavor so I had to come back to try their hojicha too! I also loved the banana pudding and it tasted so good with the hojicha. Thank you Lana and Chilla for the drinks and amazing service !! read more

MATCHA IS 10/10. HOJICHA IS 10/10. You can tell the quality is top tier and I love how convenient this location is. If I could go here everyday.. I would. read more
The best place for avocado shakes. They share the lot of hobby lobby so there are plenty of parking spaces available. The store is always clean and the staff are friendly. The only thing I have gotten here has been their avocado shake though. But I t is just perfect: super smooth, sweet, and freshly avocado-y! Never have any large chunks of ice in their shake, I specifically travel here just to get their avocado shake. read more
we got a popcorn chicken which came w ranch. the flavor was good, you could rly taste the five spice. even tho we got a spicy level (which was surprisingly hot - in a good way, but we'll prob get a medium next time), the flavor still came thru. the basil was at the bottom - it wasn't whole leaves but it had a taste we liked, almost like tea. i will say some of the chicken pieces were a bit chewy, shaped long instead of bite-sized. but overall they hit the spot & we'd def come back :) read more

I got the taro cookies ($7.50) because it was one of the Bobalicious specials. I usually love taro, but this drink ended up being way too sweet for me. My friend got the avocado smoothie, and said that the texture was not what she had wanted. Also, the table was very sticky so it didn't make for a pleasant experience. My friend and I ended up taking our drinks to go because we didn't want to stay there. read more
Has this bubble tea shop really been open under the same name and ownership for nearly 20 years? Bobalicious is tucked away in a narrow suite in the Village at Mira Mesa. I remember visiting this spot years ago, and I don't recall sugar cane drinks being part of the menu. Fresh cane stalks were on display at the service counter. Three menu screens listed the offerings... milk teas, slushies/smoothies, coffee, fruit teas, and two categories of special drinks. Oh, fries and popcorn chicken were available as token savory snacks. Between a banner posted next to the entrance and the presence of the sugar cane at the counter, I ordered a regular size CocoCane Juice which was coconut flavored sugar cane juice. The cost was $6.50, however if you wanted less ice, there was a $0.50 surcharge because more stalks would need to be extracted for additional liquid to compensate for the reduced ice level. The coconut taste wasn't as strong as I had expected, but the natural sweetness of the sugar cane was prominent. Several small tables were available for inside seating along with a couple out front on the sidewalk. I found the ambiance to be sterile, almost industrial, compared to the newer shops which proliferate every month in the SD area. Overall, I gave a 3.5 star rating for my drink and visit to Bobalicious. read more

Not a complaint, but just so everyone can take a note if they don't want the same thing that happened to me happens to them. I ordered a regular size sugarcane juice with no ice because they charge an additional $0.50 if I wanted half ice instead of full ice. And what I received was basically half a cup, not even 70%, which I've encountered before at different restaurants/shops. To me this was ridiculous. I'm sure they have their reasons; but I won't ever come back here again and nor will I wish this upon the rest of y'all either. read more

I have such high hopes every time I go to Bobalicious, but I'm always left disappointed. The lychee smoothie was a major letdown -- it tasted overly artificial, with barely any lychee flavor. It was mostly ice and sugary sweetness, more like a sugar bomb than the refreshing fruit drink I was craving. The honeydew smoothie wasn't any better. It lacked the creaminess and freshness I expected and instead tasted bland and watered down. Both smoothies felt like I was drinking flavored ice, rather than an actual smoothie. The service is always friendly and welcoming, but unfortunately, the quality of the drinks has really gone downhill over the past few years. I really want to love this place, but the smoothies don't cut it. read more
