Visit June 2026 Simple stop. Wanted a pick me up but something cold. Got the Ube Vietnamese coffee. Pretty strong. I was wired the rest of the night. I think the coffee itself overpowered the Ube flavor unfortunately. It is a cute shop with a couple of small tables and a large two-level bench (kind of like stadium seating). Photo background for the IG people. Service was friendly. Solid find. Would go again. read more

Right next to Starbread Bakery! How convenient is that! Was luckily to find this tea shop right next to Starbread where we picked up a box of señorita bread. It was not very busy when we visited. Very cute photo op right when you walk in. I wanted my usual Thai tea. They offer two sizes, small and large. What happened to a medium size?!? The Thai tea has a very strong tea flavor, which is not a bad thing, but the tea is made with rock sugar which has a very distinctive flavor. It was very overwhelming and I didn't care for it. I like Thai tea in its simplest form and not where the sugar/sweetness is not adjustable... and definitely not made with rock sugar. Probably won't be back... sucks cause it's so convenient to Starbread bakery. :( 2025: 61 read more

Standard boba shop near Chula Vista mall. I came in thinking they had soft serve but they don't offer it anymore. Opted for a taro slush and it was good. The two people working were pretty nice and kept the store clean. It wasn't busy on a Monday evening. Probably would stop by again to try other drinks if I'm nearby and don't want to drive far for boba. read more

While running some errands I had to look for nearby boba shops and I found this place on Yelp. Parking seemed fairly easy and convenient. The decor inside was cute. Staff were very attentive and answered all my questions. I did not have to wait very long to get my drinks. 1.Thai Tea with boba- This was pretty run of the mill TT, I asked if they brewed their tea and they said yes. It does not seem to me that Thai tea is brewed at that many places. I can't entirely tell if the tea was brewed fresh. Boba were a fairly bigger size and chewy. 3.5/5 2. Mango smoothie with Crystal boba and Mango jellies. I am not really quite sure what the foam on top of this drink was but it made it super tasty. I loved how the drink did not mix together and it was still in 3 layers when I got home. 5/5 3. Passionfruit Green tea with Grass Jelly- My sister noted that there wasn't much passion fruit flavor but she wanted the least amount of sugar so maybe that is why. She said the tea was slightly bitter but tasted freshly brewed. 4.4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 Food: 4.3/5 read more

You have to give a place big props if they serve boba drinks and food. I had the large Vietnamese coffee. It was only $1 more than a small--so DO IT! Service is friendly & quick. I asked for boba in it and they made it happen. Highly recommended! read more

I was driving home from a long day and was craving sweets, so I decided to try a new boba place close to home. I ordered brown sugar milk tea with fresh boba. The boba itself was fresh and hot, The drink as a whole was okay, maybe because I went 20 minutes before closing and they were rushing to go home? Maybe.. I Liked the cozy vibe and friendly staff. Planning to give it another shot during regular hours and hoping for a tastier experience next time.. read more

Dori Boba - Spontaneous boba craving, Brown Sugar milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Been twice now. We've had Jasmine Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk & Thai tea. I appreciate that they offer oat, almond and soy milk. The jasmine milk tea had a very nice flavor and aroma. Not bitter. I quite enjoyed it. The brown sugar fresh milk was yummy. I've had others elsewhere where I thought the brown sugar taste was better though but we still enjoyed it. The Thai tea was good, nice flavor. The lowest sugar they can do is 25%. The first time the boba itself was surprisingly nice. Good size, served warm, very nice level of softness and chew. Nice level of sweetness as well. Pretty good boba to drink ratio. The second time we went the boba was unfortunately super firm and although the teas were okay the hard boba made the whole drink really unsatisfying to drink so I ended up barely drinking it. My husband did notify them about the undercooked boba and they offered to remake it but said the boba would be the same. So he decided that remaking it would be pointless. I came back because the first time was great so I gave a 4 overall but coming back two days later the drink is more like a 1. So I've changed my rating from 4 to 3. Due to the inconsistencies I don't know if I'll be back. read more

First time at Dori Boba and it was a cute shop with friendly staff and I had a decent experience overall. I ordered the earl grey milk tea with no boba and I waited about 5-10 minutes before my drink came out. My earl grey milk tea was decent with a good amount of earl grey flavor and it wasn't too sweet which I liked. The décor is pretty nice and I could see myself cozying up here to do some work or studying. I did wanna note that there was only 1 staff member taking orders and making the drinks while I saw the owner(?), an older lady, cleaning up and unfortunately not helping but I did show up at the last hour before they were closing. Overall, Dori Boba is a decent spot to check out if you are wanting a drink but not from a nearby chain like Ding Tea or R&B. There's plenty of parking in the plaza and they have a good variety of drinks to choose from. read more

Hats off to this new boba spot in Eastlake! Wide array of drink and food items, friendly staff, and the ambiance was pretty cool too (see pictures). I visited just 3 days after they opened and some flavors/ingredients were sold out (but that just means how popular they are!). I ordered the passion fruit green tea and crème brûlée "walling" aka crème brûlée is spread around the cup inside with aloe Vera--both 10/10. Will be back to try more flavors! read more

The environment is cozy and well decorated, making it fun. The staff were busy but attentive and were friendly. The boba was really good. The boba itself was very warm and soft, which is what I like, and the flavor of the tea was good too. If the flavor was just a little more strong it would be perfect, but overall this place has great boba tea and I highly recommend. read more

I liked the vibe this place but I would say that it's a little expensive. I think we could get more out of it if I ordered something different because I think the brown sugar milk tea could be more flavored. The service was quick and easy. I will be trying something different when I come back. read more

BOBA AND TAPAS I had a teen social get together for a couple of hours. I was concerned because of the size of the venue. However, there was no glitch. Only a handful of girls showed up and we took the corner of the stair stadium seating. Customer service is what is expected. However, because I had a pre-order of extra food for a larger group, the communication and on-time preparation was exemplary. WHAT'S THE DEALIO WITH THE BOBA? I'm not at Boba fan. But teens are and they got pretty fancy with it. There is a lot to unpack at the menu with combinations and customizing.  I ordered the Oreo Cookie milkshake. This was really good Oreo Cookie flavor if you like the ice milk texture rather than the ice cream mixture. Prices are quite reasonable. WHAT'S THE SEATING SITUATION Like one continuous square flat bench Small pillows for your rear Small bar seating Love seat Or seating on your tush WAS THE FOOD DECENT? I ordered one of each: chicken wings, popcorn chicken, sweet potato fries, and egg rolls. One order of each. These were are good choices for as group of hungry teens and not to heavy on the stomach. The wings/drummettes were a good juicy size of 8 pieces. The popcorn chicken had flavor though the exterior a little too crunchy. Egg rolls had a good texture and sweet potato fries were decent junk food.  WHAT ARE ADDITIONAL TIPS? I brought my own pillows and placemats because of the size of the group and to ensure some comfortability. Because we were there a couple of hours I brought the selfie props and card games. GOOD FOR: All walks of life Wheelchair and motorized friendly and spacious  For parents with teens that are freaked out about the dating but want something safe and well-lit #juken123 #doriboba #socialdate #greenthumbandboba #bobaandtapas #bobachulavista "True friends are great riches." -- Unknown read more

solid boba spot. Service is great and the drinks always hit. I have tried lots of the drinks and they are all good. My favorite is the earl grey milk tea.

Dori Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

We walked in and we were the only customers inside. Aside from the welcome and placing our order there was no other communication with the staff. Our drink was ready right away. They had some sort of music playing but it was too low to notice it. As for the drink the flavor was good, but the bobas got stuck together even after stirring and shaking the bottle numerous times. This is what kind of ruined the drink for me. Hopefully they can figure out the boba situation and then the drink will be 5 stars. read more

Cute spot with good drinks. A little pricey but I had a refrigerator in my hotel room so mine was good the next day when I had the second half. Seemed to be one girl working alone on a week night. Hope there was someone else there with her in the back. They have some pretty backgrounds for posting pictures but some of the walls need a little cleaning and touch up paint. read more

I discovered this place from an "Elite Squad" event and wanted to bring my hubby the next time. He got the Grapefruit Orange Tea, which had whole slices of orange in it. It was refreshing without the bitterness that grapefruit brings. I had the brown sugar matcha milk tea with boba, which was also incredibly tasty, comforting, and satisfying - not too sweet; just the right amount. This will become my "spot" when I visit Chula Vista and will send all my friends there too. read more

I've been here a couple of times and each time I've enjoyed my visit. We tried the spring rolls which was very good and the peanut sauce was delicious. Then another time I went and I had the crème brûlée and it was OK but I wasn't feeling the custard. The employees are chill and aren't overly fake friendly. read more

So glad this spot opened up in my neighborhood. This place is not too big, but there is a cute seating area that's great for taking photos. After I ordered, the owner asked if I knew someone and we ended up knowing each other LOL. There was only one employee working at the time, so she was making my boba drinks, taiyaki fish waffle with ube, and a strawberry shaved ice. The drinks were refreshing! I loved the cookies and cream walling series and my hubby enjoyed his brown sugar milk tea. They also have snacks like popcorn chicken, bulgolgi fries, chicken wings, eggrolls, and sweet potato fries, which I'd love to try next time! read more

OMG you have to try the strawberry banana. My daughter tried an Oreo smoothie which was good too. Chai is always my go to.!

Trying out a new place for boba since they just popped up! Seems like the owner gets annoyed/flustered when there's a big crowd with lots of orders. Super understandable, but it showed when she spoke with me. The cashier that helped me out was super friendly& patient with me standing there debating my order when I told her I was ready to order, but I wasn't ready. Lol. The names of the drinks are in the pic caption. Honestly, the drinks were just okay. They weren't bad. They just weren't memorable. The orange chicken though, was not good. It was more like sweet&sour chicken than what I know as orange chicken. There was a weird gamey/hazy aftertaste that you taste when something is overly oiled or waxy? Like it taste like something got cross contaminated or not cleaned properly? If someone knows the word of what I'm describing, please let me know! Lol. I know how to say it in my language, though. But back to the review! I just had to throw the whole container away. The rice was kind of dry& not that good either. They just needed to add a tad bit more water to it. read more

Dori Boba - Clockwise: Mango Passion Fruit Tea, Wild Berry Lemonade, Thai Tea, Brown Sugar Creme Brulee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

See all

This new bubble tea business has set up an operation between a lamb barbecue restaurant and a Filipino bakery in Chula Vista. I am sure they draw customers like myself who were patronizing one of those two establishments. The inside was clean and modern, however there were no tables or chairs. Instead, there was a stage-like platform with cushions to sit on. It's like they wanted to replicate traditional Japanese style floor seating, but it seemed unusual and out of place if you ask me. We had just bought some items from the next door bakery, and I wanted to get a beverage while we were parked. There were two menu screens with the left one dedicated to the following drink series... Yogurt, Brown Sugar, Cheese Foam/Creme Brulee, and Fruit Tea. The right screen had milk teas, walling, fish waffles (taiyaki), shaved ice, and savory snacks. The drinks were available in small and large sizes. What struck me was the price for a small which ranged from $5.25 (milk tea) to $6.50 (yogurt). Even with the 15% discount, the cost was pricey. Handcrafted boba was available in four types for an additional $1 surcharge for each. Regular pre-made boba cost $0.75. I ordered the latter as a topping to go with a small Passion Fruit Green Tea with less ice. The plastic vessel was a sealed container with a rounded bottom and not a typical cup. The fruit flavor was fine, but the boba pearls were not boiled to the level of softness that I prefer. We were the only customers at the time so the service was adequate. I rated my experience at Dori Boba with 3.5 stars. read more

Wanted to check it out, have been meaning to go every time we were at the bakery. Everyone was friendly. Ordered the Matcha Walling and the Butterfly Rose. I did not change the sweetness level, as it was my first time and I wanted to taste the drink how it's normally made. The matcha walling had cheese foam swirled. The cheese foam delicious. It was a nice not too cheesy. The matcha comes out great as well. The butterfly rose, really had a nice balance of rose. It was not too sweet, it was just right. There is a nice sitting area with cushions that you can sit on. Sort like a zen zone. The menu and offer lots of options and customization of sweetness. Which I do appreciate because milk-teas are usually so sweet. And they use non-dairy milk too! 10 out of 10 for sure. Looking forward to trying the crème brûlée topping, which sounds delicious. read more

I'm a fan! Service is super quick and friendly. We opted for the passion fruit kumquat green tea! It's nice and clean inside, and the decor is cute! They have some pillows for floor seating.

This place is super cute and very chill environment. It's very cute for esthetic pictures. Customer service is amazing and very patient. So I ordered 3 different boba drinks and the mild chicken. The milk tea with the creme brulee foam is so good!! I got the passion green tea and wintermelon tea. They are both equally amazing! It's not too sweet. But, my fave is the milk tea with the creme brulee foam. The chicken has great flavor and is very crunchy. Would definitely come back to try more drinks and take more cute pictures. I tried to get my dog to take a couple of cute pic, but she's just not in the mood. What a diva! read more

SOUTH BAY BOBA (4 stars) Conveniently next to Starbread! Adding this to my South Bay rotations. So far so good! Saw they have a yogurt series on the menu and I have a found new love for yogurt series boba. Went for the Strawberry flavor and left satisfied. I did add their boba, unfortunately they do not have honey boba / just regular boba. The texture of their boba was average. I thought it would get hard and chewy over time but it didn't! Even when putting my drink in the refrigerator the boba was still soft. Will def need to come back and try regular boba for some comparison. Everything is supposedly made fresh, therefore expect a good wait to get your boba even if it's empty. STRAWBERRY YOGURT BOBA - creamy, sweet, and strawberry. Just how I like it! read more

I had the fruit teas and boba add on. Had grapefruit smth and it was just okay. The other was orange fruit that was pretty good. Idk what I expected with the boba but it burst immediately in my mouth maybe I should have asked for the chewy. The atmosphere is really cute it's a lil cold tho. The service is great in spite of the fact that there was one person working the register and still making the orders. Overall I bet their milk tea boba are good because from orders I saw they looked soooooo good. Oh the price list is different from the one posted online. Also if you paying cash you get some cash off so I'd suggest using cash. read more

The cutest little boba shop in Chula Vista! My coworker introduced me to Dori Boba and loves their Brown Sugar drinks. I just played it safe with a oolong milk tea, but then I saw someone order popcorn chicken and decided to order it too. I could distinguish a good milk tea and the oolong was just right! The popcorn chicken was a really big portion and they mainly use chicken breast. I ordered it extra spicy and the lady, who I assumed was the owner, was so nice and gave us extra spice powder on the side. It was tasty, although I do wish they offered more of a "snack" sized portion for the chicken as I feel like $10 for a bowl of chicken is a lot. There isn't many boba shops here in Chula Vista, so Dori Boba fits perfectly here! They are doing great for being a new business. Prices are a bit steep though especially for the regular size drink and their snacks, so a tip would be to share the snack with someone, otherwise take home leftovers. read more

Food: Commend these folks for opening a boba shop in this economic situation. But honestly, 3-star drinks Our winter-melon and butterfly pea milk tea tasted more like milk with a splash of tea rather than the flip side (so we barely tasted the tea that they boast was made from imported quality leaves). The 50% was already sweet enough for me (especially with the amount of milk added). We came to try the homemade boba options; unfortunately they didn't have any by the time we arrived (Sunday afternoon). We opted to get the pre-made boba, which was not anything spectacular flavor- or texture-wise. Don't know if we would visit again, but if we were to, we would just get the tea options without boba, sweetness adjusted to your liking. Service: The woman and young man were just the nicest workers! They were welcoming and thoughtful. I had ordered my drink half ice/sweet, and the woman gave me a sample to test the sweetness level. And the young man attended to me promptly when time to return a game, while attending to fulfilling orders for the ten or so customers. Extra star for service! Atmosphere: Very unique and appealing design for the seating. They offer a few games (like Uno) to play while you enjoy your boba. Also, really clean area. read more
