My husband has started timing how long I can go without mentioning it (current record: 6 hours, and honestly I'm not proud of that). The staff here are so genuinely kind that I've started to suspect they're either extremely well-trained or just secretly the nicest humans alive - I'm leaning toward the latter. Every single time I walk in it's warm greetings and zero judgment when I order something absurdly complicated with three add-ins and "light ice, not too light- 50% sweet." The tea itself tastes like it was brewed with actual love and not, you know, whatever sad tea bags are haunting other boba shops. Fresh, fragrant, the real deal. And the boba?? Cooked to that perfect chewy-not-mushy texture that feels like it should require a culinary degree. I've had boba elsewhere that tasted like sad little erasers. Not here. Here they respect the pearl. Honestly this place has ruined me for other boba shops in Escondido. I walk past competitors now like a woman who's found The One and simply cannot be tempted. 10/10, will be back approximately tomorrow.

Instead of making the experience quick and straightforward, the cashier seemed unwilling to help and made me feel like I was inconveniencing them just by placing an order.

I hope management can address this because a difficult attitude at the register can easily make customers choose not to come back.

I've been giving this place chance after chance after new ownership and it's simply not what it used to be. Sometimes you don't have to keep up with trends and modernize a shop. Especially when you already had a good menu with good flavors. Now drinks lack flavor every once in a while, which I despise because a shop that sells drinks, it should have consistency in flavors.

When this place first opened, I wasn't a huge fan. But recently, I decided to give it another try,…read moreand I'm so glad I did because I've officially become a fan! It all started when the second time I ordered their banana matcha. I remember trying it and thinking it was a little too sweet, but honestly, it was good enough to feel like a dessert! I came back and customized the sweetness level, and I genuinely started enjoying it so much more as an everyday drink. Since then, I've tried their strawberry matcha and double matcha, both with less sugar, and I've really enjoyed them. What surprised me most was the double matcha, it has what I'm assuming is matcha jelly, and the combination of flavor and texture makes it one of my favorites! Sometimes, a little customization makes all the difference.

I rated 3 stars because I was a bit disappointed on the amount that was actually given as well as the taste. I understand products can vary from photos but the pudding in my order was significantlyyyy smaller than anticipated. It was also more of the crumble cookie than pudding, so I kept drinking mushy bits of the topping The banana flavor was also more of a whiff than a punch. For other matcha enthusiasts that use it as a measure of authenticity, I do think the color is reassuring. As for the Sea-salt Japanese Brown Rice tea, I'm saving it for later before work! And will update when I try. I do like the atmosphere, and see it as a great spot to work from.

Me and my husband actually DoorDashed the first order, my husband got the Taro Ice Blended w/ Pudding and I got this seasonal drink called the Spooky Swirl Ice Blend with mini pearls. Even though it wasn't fresh and it took like 10-15 minutes to deliver after we ordered it, it still came flavorful & icy! It barely melted and still tasted wonderful compared to most boba places we've tried for take-out. We went a second time on the way home from running errands and got different slushees because we really seem to enjoy them here. I got the Strawberry Slushie w/ Lychee Jelly and it came with vanilla ice cream (which I didn't know!), while I got my husband the Matcha Slushie w/ Red Bean and vanilla ice cream. His matcha drink was definitely my favorite, the Strawberry drink just kind of gave me a Summer drink vibe but very light in flavor. I still think this boba is great compared to most places, and I will be back more often to expand my boba drinks to try other ones on the menu.

The caramel monkey was my favorite because it was super soft, fresh, and the cookie had great flavor. The Dubai cake was good but really rich. I definitely need milk or tea with this one. Service is good. It was pretty empty when we came here. I love this place, but I waste a lot of money here and I'm on a diet. That's the only reason why I haven't been here in a long time.

The fried chicken itself was good, and the drinks were decent, but the overall experience was overshadowed by the staff's attitude.

This was our first visit, yet they didn't seem interested in helping us! Neither was particularly welcoming or friendly. To make matters worse, we overheard the employees' conversations which included lots of profanity and complaining about work, not a family friendly experience!

We walked in and first impression was that it was a clean, black & white decorated store, blasting hip hop / rap. The cashier was really friendly, chatty, and helped us customize our drinks. He was a big part of what made our first time there memorable. We picked this spot because we were looking for honeydew melon slush and they had it (both honeydew melon milk tea and slushie formats). We also got a Passionfruit Green Tea with Boba - 0% sweet. Both were perfect. The sweetness from the boba pearls was more than enough for my passionfruit tea and the honeydew melon slush was on point. The walls are decorated with framed black & white photos of hip hop / rap artists. After making our drinks, the cashier quizzed us on our hip hop artist knowledge :) If you grew up in the 80s-90s, this place will take you back to the golden days of hip hop/rap. What a fun twist for a boba shop. I think we found our fave spot in North County!

You bet I'm coming here after every dental appointment.
