    Mr. Bean
    Allison L.

    Got the Mr. Bean and it was a bit too sweet for me, but I like the flavor, reminds me of the 7 leaves drink. The boba was too soft for my liking. Wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon and it's nice how they are open late. I remember coming a few years ago and getting the popcorn chicken as a late night snack. Also had the BTS drink before, but I remember it also being on the sweeter side. Interior is clean and has a decent amount of seating. Plenty of parking

    Menu

    A lot of unique flavors and cute shop with good amount of seating but here is why I took stars off: - half sweet was still quite sweet - the boba texture was a little too soft for my liking - we got no ice and there was a significant amount of liquid less. I guess I shouldn't be surprised but it seems like they could've told us ahead of time so we weren't surprised about it. - we were the only ones in the store but it took quite a long time to get our drinks

    Large Thai tea with boba

    The main appeal to this place is their late hours especially on weekdays. They're open from noon till midnight so if ya need that late night boba run! I recommend the Thai tea. It was really good and had the right bitter tea taste. The boba did make it sweeter for my preference, all their drink come preset with toppings so ya'll have to let them know adjustments. Also the large was huge!

    Tried the boba here because it's next to the hotel we are staying at. This place is small and had tons of decor inside. There are small tables and a seating bench. We ordered the king Kong (milk tea with coconut jelly, egg pudding and boba) and the avolanche (avocado slush with coffee jelly). Their milk tea is really good and the combination with the jelly, boba and pudding works well together. I really enjoyed it. The avolanche lacked the prominent avocado flavor (per my husband). He would've liked for it to taste more like avocado. He also didn't care for the coffee jelly that was inside. For him, it just didn't go well with those two flavors combined. The shopping plaza that it is what crowded, so we just ended up walking over from our hotel. Their parking lot is shared with other restaurants and businesses.

    Old review: taken nov 2020 Mr. bean w boba: Comes w crystal boba. I really like the thick texture along w the pandan flavor. The boba was pretty decent. Dynamite fries: Pretty good! I like the furikake on top. Popcorn chicken: This tastes like kfc popcorn chicken w some chili powder on top. Nostalgic. There could be more spice though. Phoenix: Way too sweet. Strawberry lemonade: Same. Super sweet. Rosebud w boba: Really nice rose flavor. I'd say one of the better rose milk teas in San Diego! Boba is good. Bora bora: I don't think I like the peach milk tea combo and this was supposed to come w butterfly pea tea.

    Cute little boba shop right next to Brute Force Games which my husband and I enjoy stopping into to see what new board games they have. Luxe has a pretty extensive menu for those who love a variety of options for drinks and snacks. The interior isn't large but accommodating for a decent number of guests. The decor is very nice with a beautiful set up for those Instagram-able moments and pictures! I ordered a very standard Thai tea and my husband ordered the Fiji tea. On first impression of the Fiji tea it was very green and full of toppings, and reminded us of one of those cocktails thay usually do not blend well with the sheer number of ingredients in it. My husband wasn't exactly a fan unfortunately. The excessive toppings and mix of fruit flavors were a miss for him. Most flavors were muted or completely washed out, and the toppings were a little much. I ordered a Thai tea which was good, however it was very sweet. For the future I know to definitely cut the sweetness down by at least 50%. Would I come back? Maybe since it's it a good location and does have quite a few boba items I enjoy On their menu.

    Luxe Fried Oreo (7pc)

    Cute lil boba spot that's open late, which is super convenient. Lots of options to choose from. I recommend the fried Oreos, if you're really craving something sweet nice staff and clean store, I'll definitely be back!

    Got a few boba drinks here and they were good! I also ordered the popcorn chickens and fried tofu. They were crispy. I like that i am able to add chili peppers to the chickens and tofu! They weren't too spicy but good enough for my liking! Staff were quick, but i think if you ordered more than just a boba, then it might take a little bit of time - especially if you order like popcorn chickens. The boba shop has a chill vibes. It's a nice place for those that want to grab like a late night snacks/drinks. Bring cards or some games if you want to sit around and chill with friends.

    Aloha and Golden Tiger
    Sharon L.

    Below average drinks, prices, and ambiance. The entire boba menu was filled with artficial looking colors and flavors. We got the Aloha and Golden Tiger. The Aloha was actually an okay fruit tea, but $6.50 is really steep for a regular ($8.50 for a large!?!) The Golden Tiger tasted pretty artficial and not worth $7.50 in my opinion. Lots of other boba places around that are cheaper and better quality tea. The service was fine and our drinks came out decently quick. I saw some other reviews that thought the decor was cute but it just felt really overdone and tacky to me. There are lots of Lunar New Year decorations around but the furniture and decor pieces all felt pretty cheap and didn't fit well together. Lots of parking available which is a plus. Overall, not a spot I would want to spend time chilling at.

    Menu as of Jan 2025

    PARKING: Parking is plenty! It's in a strip mall type of location. I went later in the evening and there were lots of spaces to park. SEATING: Definitely a space to hang out for people who want to chill. There's less than 5 tables if I remember correctly. But it didn't seem like many people were staying. You could though if that's more you're vibe after ordering boba. SERVICE: Quick! The woman helping was nice and greeted me. My milk tea came out quickly as I even got the XXL size. FOOD: I got an XXL Bora Bora for around 7$. Not a bad price for the size! Unfortunately, it does taste more milky than expected! I know some people like it that way, but I'm a bit picky. Not bad for a new boba shop though. The crystal boba was really good! Would come back to try their other drinks if I was in the area. OVERALL: Nice pit stop for a new boba shop! Liked the vibes and can't wait to try out the whole menu if possible!

    Golden Tiger & Luxes Coffee / Vietnamese Cofee
    Jenifer B.

    Great boba and service here! Brian was super nice and helpful and made us feel very welcome coming in. My boyfriend and I got the golden tiger and subbed boba for the topping and a Vietnamese iced coffee. Both were great drinks and the boba was good too. They have really cool items on the menu so I'm excited to go back and try more!

    Eli J.

    Solid boba. Decent price. My daughter loved the variety of flavors of the boba pearls.

    Elisa N.

    Your standard boba spot and pretty pricey for their drinks. I've gotten their milk teas and fruit teas and the flavor tastes a bit watered down, so I'd ask for extra flavor. However I will give a lovely 4 stars to their environment of this place, it's super decorated and a great vibe. Another thing i like about the place is how late it closed compared to the other stores. The boba is not great, but the vibes are.

    Are there gluten free options? I saw your menu on Postmates- many unexpected items were labeled GF. However, your website doesn't mention GF at all. I was so excited but it's prob too good to be true. I'm Celiac & don't want to get my hopes up.

    Do they have oat milk? I don't like non-dairy creamer.

    Hi Samantha, at Luxe Boba all the milktea are non-dairy, and I also have soy milk or almond milk as an alternative as well. I just don’t have oat milk. Thank you

    Will you ever bring back the durian drink? it was my favorite and one of the main reasons started coming here :'( still come here lots, just miss my fav drink!

    Hi Melanie, thank you for supporting Luxe always. And yes, you can always request your fav durian drink “Sweetie” is the name for that drink. Whenever you order online or in store, tell the cashier person you want to order “Sweetie”. Even if online… 

    Does the kitchen close at a certain time?

    Hi, Luxe Boba’s kitchen stay open until closing time posted. Except on some family emergency events, then we’ll post it that we’ll close early. Otherwise you can order foods up to closing time. Thanks

    Is the non-dairy milk vegan? I know non-dairy could just mean casein free, which still comes from a cow. Does the non-dairy milk come from an animal?

    I'm not sure but they also have soy and almond milk available as alternatives.

    Do they have popping boba or just tapioca pearls?

    Hi Melinda, yes we do have popping boba. Strawberry and lychee flavors. Thank you

    Do you use high fructose corn syrup on your drinks?

    Hi Krystal, to answer your question, No, we don’t use high fructose corn syrup or any fructose corn syrup whatsoever. We’re a family boba shop with my family recipes and we cook our sugar in house so our sweetness level is not crazily sweet compare… 

    Is the sweetie made with real durian/syrup/powder? are the ingredients sourced high quality or towards a teazone/a brand like teazone?

    Sweetie is actual durian. All of their drinks use the actual fruits. They live up to their name and make sure that their ingredients are quality. Tea zone is nowhere near Luxe Boba standards.

    Any dairy substitutes for the milk teas? No soy as well?

    All milk tea are non-dairy except Thaiger (Thai Tea) and Marble, but you can always ask for almond or soy substitute

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.

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.

I always only get the Honeydew Bubble at 50% sugar with light boba. Tell me why it still tastes like 100% sugar? The same thing happened with the Mango Sago, which was wayyy too sweet. And what makes it even more disappointing is that they've raised their prices. One drink is now just under $10, so when I'm paying that much for ONE drink, I expect the recipe and quality to be consistent every time. Another thing that really bothers me is seeing the girls working with their hair completely down. It's honestly pretty off-putting when you're handling food and drinks, and I really hope the team is being properly trained in food safety and hygiene standards. I genuinely love Urban Bubble, which is why this is so disappointing. Please adjust the sugar levels or train the team to follow the recipes more consistently! There is only ONE person who consistently makes my drinks perfectly every time. Hopefully he reads this and knows exactly who he is lol.
