    Beautiful boba tea shop in Poway! Very clean, plentiful indoor seating options with traditional tables, bar-setup seating, benches. There was plenty of parking. The service was friendly. Ordering was done the old fashioned way - verbally with a human! There are some drawbacks with that though with waiting in line to order and order accuracy. My drink was made fine, but my husband's 1st drink didn't have the right sugar level, and the 2nd drink he got had milk in it when he wanted the fresh tea option. My advice is to be very specific in your ordering and to triple check all aspects of your order on the visual display provided at the cash register. To be fair, each time I had the opportunity to visually confirm and I didn't. Milk defaults to a non-dairy creamer (which has milk protein) but you can get oat or almond milk instead. They have a range of toppings including cheese foam. They do not have sea cream. Each drink we got was delicious and their prices are comparable to other local shops. There is not outdoor seating. There also isn't any music playing (in case that matters-- no risk of expletives playing with kids around LOL). I think this used to be a Ding Tea. The cup had a Nova Boba sticker on it but the top said Ding Tea. A bit of a brand identity confusion, but maybe they are using through their supply. Definitely worth a visit! There are even games like Uno and Jenga available to further make you feel welcome to linger.

    The Wintermelon milk tea here is really good! Although they are a bit slow sometimes when making the drinks, it's still a nice place to chill.

    Great service! Decided to check this out after work and had a nice time. I didn't know what to get but Jero was super helpful and I got a taro milk tea with foam :) Definitely coming back soon!

    I have been to Ike's in San Francisco CA, Tempe AZ, and I also had it at the Yelp Halloween party…read more I finally got to try this location which is in a strip mall in Poway, so parking can be full depending on time of day. Approaching the doorway you see the logo and colors and you know that you are in the right spot. Open the door and you are instantly seeing several tables and chairs to sit at, a giant menu board full of a plethora of sandwiches and options, photos with famous celebrities and more. The service was friendly and welcoming. They greeted us soon after we popped in and they finished helping someone in front of us. I picked the number 2 Hollywould's SF Cheesesteak sandwich on the Dutch Crunch bread (yum yum). Large, filling, tasty, quality ingredients. I also tried the green apple caramel lollipop, a nice sweet treat. The sandwich is expensive, but good and worth it.

I've ordered a sandwich that was missing the avocado and most recently I got the Friendsgiving sandwich which should come with Turkey, Cranberry, Sriracha and Stuffing and it was missing the stuffing :( Ordering through the app is super easy though and my food was ready at the quoted time. The location is in a busy shopping mall but parking is still easy. Friendly service. Mostly indoor seating but they do have a couple tables outside.

    I've been enjoying Mendocino Farms catering from the Carmel Valley location for years at work, so I…read morewas *thrilled* when they opened a location here-- absolutely love it! We've ordered catering from the Scripps Ranch location and also love coming in as a family. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully done. I especially love the generous use of fresh avocado - I have way too many favorites to choose from. Their unique, healthy twists on classic salads and sandwiches really set them apart. Salads I keep coming back to include their takes on the Cobb, Caesar, Quinoa & Avocado, and the Not So Fried Chicken Salad. For sandwiches, the Banh Mi, Not So Fried Chicken, Farm Club, Peruvian Steak, and Caprese are all fantastic. There's really something for everyone, including great vegan options--you can't go wrong. And the spicy curry couscous? Absolutely to die for. On top of the food, the staff is outstanding. Every person I've interacted with has been warm, welcoming, and genuinely focused on making customers happy. It also means a lot that they support our neighborhood schools--we're incredibly lucky to have Mendocino Farms as part of our community. Highly recommend!!!

I bet they get a lot of confused visitors. Their sandwiches are my go-to but the salads are delicious as well. The sides can be hit or miss. I typically online order and have tried the drive thru a few times. The order is almost never ready at the time it says to pick up. You'd have to wait in a parking spot and wait for the text. They do have a little digital sign that tells you whether your drive thru order is ready or not but you'd have to get close to see it so I didn't find it that useful if you're sitting in a parking spot anyway. This last time, I tried to do in-store pick up to see if it was faster. I still went a little after the pick-up time and they were still packing up the order. This spot is pretty small inside but very clean and neat.
