    I stopped here when I was next door getting my nails done. This is a very cute place to go and have boba. They have a large variety of options and the employees were very friendly. They also offer different snack options, like potstickers, but I didn't have time to order and try. I ordered the Shooting Star tea which was very tasty. I will definitely stop by here again and try about the other options.

    Shooting Star with boba

    So excited to try Daboba! I've been wanting to come here since they opened! The staff were cool and helpful with any questions we had. My husband got the Vietnamese coffee with boba and I got the Shooting Star with boba. The shooting Star is a fruity, citrusy tea. And it was absolutely delicious! Had a great balance of sweetness and flavor. I was a little disappointed at first when I saw the amount of boba in my drink, but it ended up being a perfect amount. I'm excited to try more drinks here!

    The only boba shop in CV that was open a little later on a Sunday night-closes at 9. Friendly staff, and clean location. Their milk is tea is one of the best, hot or cold and their boba is fresh! I wasn't able to finish my large hot milk tea. I took it to work the next day and warmed it up. The boba was still gooey and fresh ! I was surprised! really dislike when you order boba and the middle is kind of hard. Their croffles are delicious! Thank you, Da Boba!

    Very cute boba shop with nice decor! Lovely staff and quick service. The Japanese roasted milk tea (25% sweet) tasted great.

    Let me start off by saying that this location of Da Boba has immaculate customer service. Despite the crowd of customers, the employees were all level headed working quickly and efficiently while all still maintaining quality service. Loved that the interior is clean and has a very chic and simple interior design. I went during their soft opening and at the time was honestly disappointed with their tea drinks. Ordered a few drinks and my party all noticed the lack of tea essence and flavor in the tea drinks, however the other drinks were great and quite enjoyable. The owner was there and I had given my honest opinion about the lack of tea flavor in the tea drinks and he apologized and hoped our next visit would have a better experience. Sure enough 3 weeks after their grand opening I went back. I wasn't planning to order any pure teas or milk tea at first, but to my surprise the owner recognized me and informed me that they adjusted their tea drinks recipe. So I went a little crazy with my party and ordered a pure seasons tea (really refreshing and fragrant), classic green milk tea (had strong tea flavor with a wonderful floral taste and loved the hint of honey), cheese roasted oolong tea (had a really nice roasted and earthy flavor that paired really well with the slightly salty cheese foam), mango frappe (had this last time and knew it was good it's sweet, tangy and so refreshing). Safe to say with the immaculate quality care and service, alongside their newly improved drinks, Da Boba will certainly become one of my regular spots.

    The service was quick and the parking was free and plentiful. The staff was very nice and helpful. I got a croissant/waffle thing with Nutella on top. It was warm, flakey and delicious! I ordered the coco frappe and it was super chocolate tasting. Honestly it was too much and I had to throw it away. The ambiance was clean and cute.

    Japanese roasted milk tea

    Went back again after their soft opening and tried the Japanese roasted milk tea (50% sweetness level). It had a very pleasant tea flavor and definitely tasted better than some other boba shops I've tried because I could actually taste the tea! Also, the decor that they have for the holidays is so cute! Even though it was a bit busy the day that I went, the staff was friendly and apologized for the wait time, which I appreciated. Looking forward to going back again soon.

    First time at daboba. Just happened to be in the area. Was greeted with a great big smile from a worker and the cashier was a standup guy. I'd comeback just for the interaction alone. Great customer service Uhm but I'm not sure what came out of the drink. Maybe a tea leaf? Or something from the straw? But overall great service

    How loud or quiet is this place? Is the place study-friendly (eg, many outlets, comfortable seats, no loud music)?

    Place is reasonably quiet, a couple of plugs and outlets. There is music playing but not too loud in the background. There are tables & chairs that are comfortable to sit on!

Check-in ordering kiosk is available at the counter along with being able to order from a cashier. Menu on TV boards above the registers and also menu with photos posted outside. I ordered the mango coconut milk smoothie/less sugar and added boba, which was featured on their seasonal drink menu. Even with ordering less sugar, the mango and coconut made it very sweet so I would recommend perhaps almost no sugar the next time but I enjoyed it and it was still very good. I did not order any food items. Hours clearly posted on the front door with strip mall parking right out front.

The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the poor customer service from one of the young ladies working there. She made my daughter and me feel very uncomfortable when we asked if one of the teas could be changed because it was too thick and sweet for my daughter's liking. Instead of simply trying to take care of the situation, she immediately said "NO" and made a disgusted face. Thankfully, Jeff stepped in, saved the day, and offered to make us a new drink. As a multiple-business owner myself, Jeff is exactly the type of employee I would want representing my business. He understood customer service and handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the other young lady. Her attitude and facial expressions were completely unnecessary and made the experience uncomfortable enough that even my daughter felt as though she had done something wrong simply for asking. Great teas, and thank you to Jeff for turning an unpleasant situation around.

The best drink I've tried so far is their seasonal icy peach with pear jelly added. The pear jelly is worth the upgrade if you like jelly type toppings, though be warned that it's fairly sweet so adjust your drink's sugar accordingly. I have a sweet tooth and typically find the "less sugar" option to be the right amount. My only gripe is that my brown sugar boba is often a little hard, not freshly cooked. The pricing is on the higher end for boba, so I am a bit stricter on what I expect to receive.

I like their Jasmine Biscoff drink as well as their Jade Matcha. I will say that the drink is more milk ratio heavy, instead of tea heavy. I do prefer a tea heavy drink, but I still think that it is good and a nice treat to have. I like the decorations and the cat pictures they put up. It is a very warm-toned, and minimal aesthetic interior. There are a few chairs and benches letting you sit and chat with friends, but not many tables, so it wouldn't be ideal to do work. Parking: Located in a small plaza so parking may be hard to find.
