One of my favorite tea spots!…read more Teaspoon was always a must-go whenever I visited the Bay. So glad to see that they've since expanded nationwide and there's now one nearby! I almost always get their Peach Oolong Tea- 50% sweet, less ice. Strong tea notes + some sweetness from the fruit = the most refreshing summer drink!

Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea…read more Black milk tea: 0.5/2. I got the House Milk Tea, 25% sweet, less ice. This drink was just okay in my opinion. It was appropriately not too sweet, and I appreciate that the drink uses lactose-free creamer by default. However, I probably should've gotten no ice, as it was quite watery and half the cup was ice still. The tea has slightly grassy notes which I personally don't prefer. I do think that 50% sweet would provide a better balance of flavors. For me the biggest downside was the price: $8 is way too much for a standard milk tea with no toppings. Other drinks: 1/1. The menu includes a good breadth of milk teas, fruit teas, matcha, Vietnamese coffee, and more. Ambiance: 1/1. Simple but playful decor, with a few claw machines and plentiful seating with tables. Free WiFi makes this a good place to work. Service: 1/1. Order at the digital kiosk or at the counter. Drinks come out quickly. Total: 3.5/5

Luckily after a little research, we found Tea Monks. The parking lot was packed on a Saturday afternoon so I thought we would be in for quite an adventure just to find parking. Fortunately we were able to find a spot fairly quickly. The line was out the door for Tea Monks which can only be a sign that there is deliciousness waiting for us through the front doors. The line moved quickly which was both a pro and a con. Since it was moving so fast, we would have to make a choice from all of the great options. I was torn between the cabana berry smoothie and the green apple slushie. Ultimately landed on the slushie and decided to add strawberry pearl. There are a few small stools to use while waiting but not much room other than that. Fortunately our drinks were up in a matter of minutes. The first sip was heavenly and hit the spot. I'm always skeptical ordering "green apple" because I'm scared that the apple flavor will fall flat but this one was perfect. I could taste the apple and the tartness was great. The strawberry pearl was a perfect addition. I'm so glad we decided to stop here before heading home.

The menu is fairly similar to before, featuring Asian street food, noodles, sandwiches, and other quick bites, but the overall presentation and atmosphere have improved significantly. The curb appeal is much better now; they added new umbrellas and refreshed the small outdoor seating area, so it no longer looks run-down. They accept online orders now, and they've also started running weekly specials on select dishes, which they post on their Instagram account. Overall, I've enjoyed most of the food I've tried. My absolute favorites are the teriyaki bowls (served with either rice or noodles), and my kids really love the spam musubi. There are some breakfast options as well, very reasonably priced. The shop also offers boba bubble drinks, while they offer classic flavor options like milk green tea and Thai tea, the quality of the boba pearls themselves still isn't quite there. All in all, it's a great, refreshed spot near the beach for a quick meal or snack! The sisters are doing a fantastic job.

Other than incorrect business hours listed (this is a big deal IMO) the selection of beverages here is pretty good. So many options from milk teas, slushes, and fruit juices.

They drinks are pretty good, and worth stopping by on a hot day.

I recently visited an amazing mochi doughnut shop in Encinitas and was warmly greeted by the friendly husband of the owner duo. They were both incredibly sweet and eager to answer my questions about their delicious offerings. The selection of flavors is impressive, making it a perfect go-to spot for doughnut lovers. I tried a mochi ball filled with rich custard, paired with an ube Oreo, and a cider flavor with a hint of cinnamon. Both were delightful! The shop has great hours, making it convenient to stop by. Don't forget to try their boba drinks as well, with plenty of topping options to customize your order. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more
