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! read more

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.

Bobalicious - What even is this??? - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Diego, California

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... read more

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! read more

Bobalicious has been in Mira Mesa forever. I used to come here more often during my high school and early Miramar College days lol. There's been some randomly changes throughout the years with its interior and at one point, I remember they were partnered with Square Bar and served ice cream for a minute. Aside from that, obviously it's not "the best boba shop in town", but I do appreciate the consistency of my go-to order(s) whenever I'm here. I also think they have one of the better-tasting popcorn chickens in town too, way better than Tastea down MM Blvd. Service is usually friendly and quick as well. :) read more

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 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

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. read more

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! 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

Good Smoothies. I don't really care for boba. Good place to study. It has its own private lot so easy to find parking. They also sell food. Decent amount of seating. 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

NOT WELCOMING!!! Came in an hour before closing time a while ago with all the chairs put up and floor mopped. Peeped my head in the door looking to order and EVERYONE ignored me and just looked at eachother like I wasn't welcomed and didn't want to serve me. Business owner claims they tried to find the footage of me coming in and couldn't find anything is a lie. That's just their way of trying to cover themselves. That's how low they are. Take your business else wear because I feel that if you make them mad for any reason they might do something to your drinks. read more

Lynn was really friendly and made me a great matcha! It tasted really good, and I was very happy with my experience. Great service!

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

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

Pros: Open til 10 pm on weekdays, friendly staff, decent price and large menu. They also offer fresh sugar cane juice, which I noticed too late to order. Con: My honeydew slush with strawberry popping boba tasted oh so artificially sweet. I am a major sugar addict, but this was way too much such that I couldn't detect any fruit flavors at all, so unable to enjoy more than a couple sips. read more

THE BEST TRULY!!! The staff is so so great and they are so attentive to any requests. My mom has been coming here for years and we've never had a bad experience! 100% recommend! 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

Bobalicious - Sugarcane Juice, no ice. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Diego, California

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

I love boba and sometimes when I have to go into the office for work, I need to find a place to be able to grab a quick snack while I wait for traffic to die down before my trek home. One such adventure brought me to Bobalicious off Mira Mesa Blvd. A smaller shop located in a busy shopping center right next to several eateries and a target, but still had plenty of variety for anyone stopping by. There was ample seating through the store front, and all our drinks were served fairly quickly from ordering. I debated between the sugar cane drinks or my go to milk tea. Unfortunately I should have gone with the sugar cane option since they were out of matcha the day I went. The Thai tea I ordered was still delicious none the less. read more

To whom it may concern... If you were thinking about visiting Bobalicious, my advice to you would be: ABSOLUTELY!

Non-dairy friendly, indoor seating + open parking, and open late...Bobalicious indeed. There are tables inside to work from or watch tv. I've visited a few times if in the area, and it's one of the few places in sd that I enjoy a non-dairy Thai tea from. I'd suggest going for their Milk Tea Mondays, where drinks are automatically upgraded to large (2 large drinks for $11). read more

This place was a real disappointment. I was craving milk tea and this place was close by my home. I was surprised to see a promo for Milk Tea Mondays (free upgrade on milk tea drinks) and ordered the Oolong milk tea at 50% sweet w/ boba. Drink cost around $6.25. When the drink was given to me, it looked extremely diluted. It was pale, which you can pretty much assume there is more milk than tea in the drink. The boba was ok, it wasn't hard, but wasn't extremely soft and chewy either, and seemed like it was soaked in brown sugar so it had some flavor to it. But the drink was not bobalicious at all. When I got home, it felt like I was drinking water, with milk, and pumps of sugar. Zero tea flavor. And lots of ice in the cup to further dilute the already tasteless drink. I won't be back and don't recommend this place. Got the same drink without boba for my sis, and she agrees it just tastes like sugar. How sad. read more

Are you kidding me??!! First time trying the Ube Vietnamese Coffee and damn! The best way I can describe it is if you've ever had the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate at Ghirardelli's in California Adventure IYKYK. It is just as thick, rich, and perfectly sweet that I can't wait to have another one. I had it iced today but will definitely try hot when the weather is right. Excellent job Bobalicious. This reminded us why you guys are our favorite boba joint.... For real! read more

Not a bad boba shop, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Luckily I didn't have to, because they are within walking distance from my house. For my visit, I ordered the jasmine green milk tea with boba. The bobas were soft and the drink was decent. It was a bit weak in terms of tea flavor, and a stronger tea taste would've been nice. It was a bit noisy for a boba shop, and resembled a bar. The music was loud and the TVs were on, so there was competing noise. The customer service and the drink were average, so I gave them an average rating of 3 stars. read more
