Got our order wrong and didn't understand us. And took quite a long time to get our stuff but overall the food was good.

The popcorn chicken was delicious; crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The boba tea was refreshing and delightful. I tried both a fresh tea and a milk tea, and neither disappointed. The flavors were well-balanced, consistent, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend stopping by and giving this place a try! read more

Tried their taboo tea and it was incredibly refreshing. They were quick to take our order and educated us on the sweetness. I prefer drinks half sweet, but with the amount of sweetness I chose to do 25%. It was perfect! They have claw machines to play which are cool. They have plenty of seating for medium group. read more

These people don't answer their phone. Their website goes to a porn site. Put in an order through DD over an hour ago from the time that this post was made and cannot get ahold of anyone at the store for an update. read more

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 read more

BEWARE -- I would not recommend this boba shop, especially if you have a dairy allergy or food allergy. This shop was extremely concerning to me from basic hygienic food safety and allergen-awareness standpoint. When I first asked about dairy, the employee told me that "almost every single drink was dairy-free," with only one or two exceptions. However, as I asked about specific drinks, she repeatedly realized that some actually did contain dairy. She seemed unsure of what ingredients were in the drinks and could not tell me what type of milk was being used, while continuing to assure me that the most drinks were dairy-free. I ordered a jasmine milk tea, but because I was already uncomfortable with the answers I was receiving, I asked again when the drink arrived: "What type of milk is in this?" The employee could not tell me. She repeatedly said, "I don't know, I just know it's dairy-free." When I asked her to please verify the ingredients, she became concerned and explained that the people working in the back did not speak English and only spoke Vietnamese, they wouldn't be able to understand her. An older woman came out and I used a translation app so there would be no misunderstanding. After several minutes of trying to communicate, she eventually brought out a dirty, large, unsealed industrial bag of "non-dairy creamer." She pointed to the words "non-dairy" on the bag to assure me that it was safe. I asked her to turn the bag around to see the ingredients. The first ingredient was milk powder, and the allergen statement clearly said: "CONTAINS: MILK." At that point, I immediately requested a refund. The entire situation was incredibly concerning. If a customer tells you they cannot have dairy, "I don't know what's in it, but I know it's dairy-free" is not an acceptable answer. Employees should know what ingredients are being used, especially when it comes to common allergens. I also found it very troubling that the employee initially gave me incorrect information about which drinks contained dairy, and that the product being used was apparently being treated as dairy-free simply because the packaging said "non-dairy," despite the package clearly stating that it contains milk. Thankfully, I questioned everything before consuming the drink. If you have a dairy allergy or another serious food allergy, I strongly recommend being extremely cautious here. I personally will not be returning. read more

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! read more

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 read more

Luxe Boba - Mr. Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is a hard one. I liked my brown. Sugar with black tea and boba $7 but everyone else didn't like their drink at all. In fact the strawberry milk tea tasted like chemicals. So I would be careful what you order. Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was festive. read more

don't ever come here. Thai tea was absolutely terrible. I had asked for a different drink because it was just not good. The "owner" had told me no to another drink. She'd offer a 50% on another drink. Ha you're funny. What kind of business is this for you to not even accommodate to your customers. I've worked at a boba place before and I've always accommodated my customers because there always right. Yeah don't waste your money here. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Went here after my nail appointment and it hit the spot in a major way. I ordered the Jasmine milk (minus grass jelly) add boba. Service was friendly and very fast. The boba was fresh and soft. Jasmine tea flavor was perfect. It was not too sweet but enough to be enjoyable without any bitter taste. Ambiance is a bit odd and dated but I don't really care about ambiance when it comes to a tea shop. Will be back. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Service was negligent.

Terrible service. read more

This is a very solid boba place. Their boba drinks are on the fancy side compared to your average boba shop and the prices are a bit on the higher side. Our 4 drinks (the BTS, Honey Milk Tea, Snow Ball and Golden Tiger) were all delicious and cost about $40 all together. I really appreciated that the place is open till midnight for those late night boba cravings. The store was very cute. There were a lot of light decorations and a few tables and chairs. The staff was friendly and patient while I took forever to decide on my order. read more

am very upset writing this review. My daughter recently ordered a drink from LUXE Boba, and after she drank most , she discovered a bug inside her cup. She was in tears. No parent wants to see their child excited about a treat and then completely horrified moments later. This is not a small issue. Finding an insect inside a sealed drink raises serious concerns about cleanliness, food handling, and overall quality control. We have photos documenting exactly what was found. I understand that mistakes can happen in any business, but food safety is not something that can be overlooked. Customers should be able to trust that what they are purchasing is prepared in a clean and sanitary environment. I hope management takes this seriously, reviews their food safety procedures immediately, and ensures this does not happen to anyone else. I would appreciate a direct response from the business regarding how this will be addressed. Very disappointed. read more

This was my favorite Boba spot for a solid month. I've had a lot of people who really love Lux but one of the things it's really hard for me is when I can't be sure that the location is gonna have a reliable drink and that's kind of how I feel about this location. It's not always exactly what I'm looking for and they have the most intense menu so I don't come in as often as I would otherwise also the Waite to get your drinks is usually fairly long even if you're the only one in there read more

Came here a while back for a late night, last minute boba run. it was empty when we first arrived, but there was a steady stream of customers throughout our time here. They have a decent size selection of food items to choose from, mostly fried. As a first time customer, their drinks are a little intimidating, as they all appear to be "specialty". They don't appear to have just a plain milk tea. Husband got one of their fruity teas, can't remember which one, but it was sweet and refreshing, perfect for these hot summer days. The prices are comparable to other places similar to this. They have several low tables and stools to sit at, and the overall decor is bright and gaudy. The people working mostly stayed out of sight in the back and only seemed to appear to take orders or when drinks were ready. Definitely points to this place for their late hours. And yummy drinks. read more

Just okay. The store is clean and cute with a very modern aesthetic, but it was really hot inside. I wanted to get away from the summer heat and cool down with a refreshing smoothie but had to take it to-go as it was too hot to enjoy inside. Walked in and there was no line, ordered right away and my smoothie took about 10-15 min which is kind of a long wait for such an empty place. A party of 3 ordered after me and they all got their drinks before me. Mine was a blended drink so maybe it took longer than theirs, but it just seemed like a little too long, I actually started to wonder if my order was forgotten. The pricing is confusing too. There were no prices on the menu that I saw, just on the cups that are at the register for size reference. The regular size had a price that was around $6 on it, so I was a bit confused when my order was over $9 (after adding a topping for $.60) I got the Chamango smoothie which was pretty good, but not $9 good. Maybe I'll try something else next time. read more

Luxe Boba - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Im Always down to try new bubble tea spots. Upon entering, they had fancy decor and looked really nice inside. I guess its the luxe feeling? Lol They offer a variety of teas and slushes and toppings. I was feeling fruity so i tried the lychee snow with rainbow jelly (already included) and added honey boba. Refeshing and just the right amount of sweetness. You can customize the sweetness. There are also 2 sizes - the regular is a good portion but if you're feeling extra boba-y, go big ! They offer hot snacks but didnt try them. If im in the area and craving boba, i would return.

Stopped by to check this place out on a random Sunday afternoon after grabbing some stuff from the grocery store nearby. The name definitely grabbed our attention so we decided to check it out. Upon entering, you kind of just walk into this VIP club looking space with extravagant flowers and an open area with small furniture to sit on. The menus are colorful and well presented on monitors. My husband and I went for the Oh Honey drink, which is honeydew with popping boba, but we switched it out for regular boba. It was absolutely delicious. You can choose your sweetness level and the amount of ice. We picked 75 percent sweetness, and got our drink after a few mins. The restaurant was clean, fresh with AC and fans, and not too busy. Customer service was good, the girl was cordial and polite. Our drink was perfect in sweetness, and the boba balls were fresh. Overall, we were really pleased and will be coming back in the future. read more

YES Finally A boba place with snacks!! Yummm will be coming back here for my sweet treat the LIXE fries Oreo and the taro boba YESSS!

On our way out of town I wanted to grab a drink and snack. I really wanted something like Taiwanese popcorn chicken. We came across Luxe and I wanted to check it out. Located off the 15 in the Serra Mesa area off of Aero it was really easy to find. It was a weekend afternoon and not super busy. The shop is cute. The menu is a bit overwhelming with all the choices. I just wanted a plain Thai tea (no boba - not a fan!) They call their Thai tea drink Thaiger. We also ordered popcorn chicken and curly fries. The Thai tea was the largest drink I've ever had! It seemed endless! They didn't have their drink sizes listed so I figured a large was good cause me and the hubs was sharing. The large was 32oz! Geezy! We couldn't finish it and still had half the tea into the evening. It did taste good tho. The popcorn chicken was not exactly what I was wanting, but it wasn't bad. The curly fries is standard. We got two sauces, ranch and sweet chili sauce. The sweet chili sauce seemed watered down. Overall it was not bad, just more expensive than I cared for. What sucks is no pricing anywhere! (with the exception of sauces! 60 cents!) It was annoying that I had to keep asking what each item cost when I was trying to pick what I wanted. For 3 items we paid just under $30! So you're ordering blind and expect you to be ok with whatever it cost. That's not a good business practice keeping pricing hidden! read more

My favorite late night boba spot!! The interior reminds me of a club and they're always blasting music. They have interesting tea combinations and snacks (popcorn chicken, spicy mayo fries, etc.). I'd recommend ordering ahead of time so it's easy to pick up in case there's a line. They're located in a little shopping center that may be used for car meetups (always cool looking cars parked). Staff is very friendly. read more

The place is cute inside. It's just that the chair is higher than the table so it's a little uncomfortable to sit or eat snack l. Great customer services. I got the jasmine milk tea with grass jelly with less sugar and it's good. The strawberry cream cheese drink is good. My kid loves it. I order just regular fries for kids and it's little blank. I hope they would put salt then it would be better. Popcorn chicken is okay. I didn't see they have dipping sauce. I only see the ketchup they put where the straw is. read more
