    strawberry
    Keilab A.

    I was deceived. I'm sorry but you can't call yourself Matcha and serve brown green colored matcha. I took a chance but was disappointed. Now if you don't care about the quality of matcha you won't mind it, but I do not recommend if you're a matcha lover. Get their strawberry smoothie or another non-matcha drink. They really should reconsider re-naming their business :/

    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 !!

    Thai milk tea

    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
    Bri R.

    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 :(

    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.

    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!

The night before my dissertation defense, I ordered a 96 oz coffee (joe-to-go) to go with a note saying I was defending my PhD (preemptively apologizing if I looked like a frazzled raccoon and worried anyone on accident while picking up). When I walked in at 7:45 AM (15 min earlier than my pick up time, bc anxiety), the staff immediately complimented my defense outfit -- instant confidence boost -- and when I said I was the person picking up "lots of coffee," they led me to the coffee, already packed and ready :') They all wished me good luck with the warmest, most dazzling smiles. They even included a note that said, "You got this~!" which I kept in front of me during my defense. (see photo) And I passed!!! Also, they gave me half-and-half and oat milk?? In this economy?? Oat milk is basically liquid gold. I felt so loved. So caffeinated. So non-dairy option supported. Usually after defenses, there is leftover coffee that people are trying to give away. But me and High Tide Coffee? No sir. No leftovers. One of my committee members had about 4-5 cups, and I am not exaggerating., (Even in a field that basically runs on coffee, academics are running on caffeine.... and wine, so a room of 12 people, not all drinking coffee, and still finishing 96 oz of coffee is a record.) Thank you, High Tide, for the excellent coffee, the kindness, the emotional support, and the very necessary academic bean juice. I am officially glad I chose you to help caffeinate the most important morning of my PhD. and thank you again for supporting me emotionally and caffeine-induced confidence :)

I usually get matchas, yogurt bowls and the ham & cheese croissant are family faves as well. The staff, drinks and food are great. Lately it's been harder for me to order at the drive-thru unless someone is physically outside to take orders. There have been two incidents now where I've sat at the drive thru with no response. I've tried to say hello to see if there's a response and there is none. I think maybe the sensors are in need of maintenance. Please fix it because I've just driven off when this happens. Update: I went back 3/3/26 and sat at the drive thru waiting. Nobody answered so I figured the drive thru is closed. I go inside to order and I asked if the drive thru is closed. The baristas say it's open and "we saw you but we weren't sure if you were waiting to order from us or Hendels (next door ice cream shop)" but then why would I be waiting at better buzz to order from next door?!! then I hear them taking a drive thru order while I'm ordering at the counter. it's confirmed it's not the sensors that aren't picking up my car at the drive thru, I'm just being ignored. Cool. I won't be coming back.
