    Venturing down South County to find a boba shop to be regulars at. Unfortunately, it was nice to try but didn't hit. The shop shares the same space as Poke Tiki and the preparation space is pretty small. Upon entrance, you see Matcha first and can order at the counter. We ordered a Boba Milk Tea and a Mango Matcha Latte with mango jelly. Husband is very picky when it comes to the flavor profile of his milk tea. It has to be balanced with a black tea base and not overpowered by milk/creamer or have a chocolate/bitter coffee aftertaste. His milk tea tasted like chocolate milk with a very odd, lingering taste of something herbal. The boba texture was really soft and chewy, but the tea was meh. I figured with a shop named Matcha, their matcha should be good, right? Although the green tea flavor wasn't super strong, it was more latte-y (milky) than matcha forward. However, the mango was a nice feature and loved the mango jelly and puree. Would I return? Probably not.

    Cute and clean.

    My husband and I wanted to stay local, so we searched "milk tea boba" on Yelp and this spot popped up. It's located in the same plaza as Baja Fresh, Board & Brew, and other neighboring businesses that my husband and I frequent. Decided to give it a try today. When we walked in, we were surprised to see they shared the same space as Poke Tiki. A nice gentleman came out from the swinging door and took our order as soon as we walked in (yesss!). They had a decent selection of beverages on their menu. Order up: 1. Milk tea (husband's) 2. Taro Milk Tea (mine) I've had taro milk tea at other places before and it was usually hit or miss (sometimes feels "powdery"). However, theirs did not disappoint. However, my husband and I both agreed that their Milk Tea could have tasted much better if they had steeped whatever tea they used a bit longer. All in all, both the drinks were relatively good. I'll have to add boba next time we come back! :)) Cheers till then...

    I love supporting local businesses, but its hard to support one that has limited interacting with customers for profit. You walk in and place an order with a machine. And if you're a boba fan, you know you can't have just the options of just full or 50% sweet. My rose tea was tasty but still way too sweet at 50%. If you put a human behind the register and allow for less sweet (and more healthy) option, it would make a world of difference and would definitely get more business and stars :)

    Always hits the spot for a refresher beverage! I like to add the lychee jelly to all my drinks cause you can never go wrong with lychee !!

    Great place! The inside as clean and well decorated. Drinks were good, very reasonably priced for a pretty large drink. Owner was very friendly as well

    If you're craving boba and dessert, this place is a must-try! The ice cream is amazing and the boba is on-point. Extensive menu and they do it well. We happened to go to San Clemente beach for the day and stopped by this place for a refresher. So yummy.

    ROTTEN MATCHA FRAPPE

    ginner or Jennifer just screamed and hung up on me when I called about my matcha frappe being sour (spoiled milk) Yikes. I've spent so much money here, I was accused of trying to get something for free during her fit when all I was trying to do was avoid others from food poisoning like I experienced:( ugh. Poor communication truly leaves you feeling ran over. Pictured: I was skeptical about the look of my Frappe but have ordered this SO MANY TIMES, I thought, nah It's just me.. We'll it's been JUST ME in the bathroom for 16 hours now. DOUBLE YIKES :(

    Matcha Tea and Cream is cute and inside of a poke bowl shop. They don't have a ton of options but I love fruit tea so I tried the passion tea and added boba! It was very good- definitely pretty sweet if that's not your thing, but I enjoyed it! The boba was nice and chewy. Definitely a cute place to check out!

    Located in a shopping center so plenty of parking and easy to find. I love fruit teas so I tried the Summer Passion and Strawberry Hibiscus both with light ice. They are flavored perfectly, not too sweet or watered down. Very refreshing especially for a super hot day. $5 isn't bad and they only have 1 size. They offer a stamp card although I didn't keep it since I'm not from the area. Staff was friendly and ready in just a few minutes.

    Had a great milk tea boba. Good price. Not very much boba is given though which is pretty disappointing. Also I've been trying to finish up some work before spending the rest of the weekend with my family and this has happened to me twice now: the establishment promises WiFi online and then they say they don't have it when I arrive. I was really upset mainly because this happened to me twice in situations where I came specifically for WiFi and was crushed. Anyway it's an okay place but NO WIFI so please update that. Super disappointed.

Staff very friendly, service is quick. And the interior is very well done, comfortable, cozy. Decent amount of seating inside and even more right outside covered seating. Great ambiance! Got the iced vanilla latte and brown sugar maple latte. Both were very good. The overall flavor was perfect. Coffee flavor itself was smooth, the vanilla syrup was well made, doesn't have any weird after taste or too strong. Just a nice good flavor! Second drink was the brown sugar maple with a vanilla cold foam. Again same everything for this drink. Delicious and smooth. Definitely recommend to come give hidden house a try. I know I'll be back.

My coffee was perfect (maple brown sugar latte) and my husband enjoyed his matcha. The vegan chocolate chip cookie was to die for. In a world of Starbucks and grab and go's, I'm so glad there are hidden houses.

I got their seasonal specialty latte which had cookie butter and cold foam and added oat milk (+$1) and the drink came out to be over $10 so pretty pricey for just an okay drink.

The interior is small but architecturally cool, with a tennis theme. There is a tiny patio in the back with a couple of tables and a lattice that provides some shade. I ordered a hot vanilla latte and a Nutella croissant from their pastry case. As is often the case at small coffee shops, there were no available seats at tables as all were taken by remote workers/students with their laptops. They have a narrow counter that was empty, so I ordered "for here" as I really wanted to relax and enjoy the coffee. I sat at the tiled counter and appreciated that my pastry was served on a ceramic plate and latte in a mug. The pastry was fresh with a flaky-crisp exterior and a bountiful amount of Nutella stuffed inside. The vanilla latte was served at immediate drinking temperature and the quality of espresso was excellent with a delectable vanilla under-flavor. Although this is "Happy" Coffee Club, the employees seemed emotionless and filled with ennui. Not welcoming or friendly at all. Once finished, I didn't see a place to return my plate & mug so decided to be nice and bring them to the counter. I was chastised and told that there is a tub on a shelf above the water station for dirty dishware. They also serve beer and wine here, which is probably what one needs to truly be in the Happy Club.

    I stopped by Better Buzz Coffee on what was a weirdly hot February afternoon…read more Like... sir??? It's supposed to be coastal-no-thick-sweater weather. Instead, I was out here questioning climate patterns with my dog on the patio. First things first: no iced coffee. None. But. The cold brew? Mild. Non-offensive. Surprisingly nutty (in a good way, *wink wink*). It didn't punch me in the throat with acidity, which I appreciate as someone who wants caffeine, not hostile combat. It's the kind of cold brew that says, "I'm stable. I've been to therapy. I am no longer bitter." Service was friendly and easygoing. No weird vibes. No barista existential dread projected onto me. Just solid, pleasant human interaction. 10/10 for that. Now. The patio. Love that it's dog-friendly. My pup was living her best life, greeting kind patrons. I, however, was trying to pretend I was a productive academic gremlin (with *aesthics*), and the WiFi was... aspirational. Let's just say it builds character. Great for touching grass. Not great for uploading Zoom sessions. (this was on the patio tho, indoors, it might slap harder than.. a correctly timed bass drop) Overall: great little spot. A few things to improve (please give me iced coffee and slightly stronger patio WiFi), but it doesn't detract from the experience or the coffee itself. I'd go back -- especially with my pup -- just maybe not expecting to run a Zoom seminar from the patio. 4 out of 5 caffeinated imposter adults.
