It tasted quite different from every other PSL I've ever had--in the best way possible. They even added freshly ground nutmeg on top! Their PSL was pumpkin-y, nutty, creamy, and has a bit of fragrance from the spices. The staff were friendly, but my interaction with them was pretty minimal. There was a bit of a wait for my drink, but was understandable since their line was pretty much never ending and they only had a couple of people making the drinks.

The coffee was blended well among all the flavors and nothing was too overpowering. It was light enough I didn't feel jittery, but still had the kick to give me the boost of energy I was looking for.

I found them during my usual bouts around the sunset market in Oceanside and saved their card for when I was ready to make a macaron order for my wedding. I reached out to them a few months before and squared away the order and details through messaging. They explained everything and offered ideas for my vision that would be easiest. So incredibly helpful! They made it so easy and efficient. Once everything was chosen for the macaron order, we set a date and time for pickup that was closest to me (sunset market) and it was so easy to store the macarons for the few days leading up to our wedding. The macarons were DELICIOUS and fresh (even though we froze them for storing them in-between the pickup and event). Not only did we love the macarons but so did our guests. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Absolutely can't wait to work with them again :)

You have to order everything through a server, and you're capped at ordering 4 items at a time. The Highlights: Great Variety: Solid selection across both entrees and the desserts. The Standouts: Lobster tails, crab legs, and beef tenderloin. The crab legs were awesome, sweet and surprisingly not overly salty like most casino buffets. Pro-Tip: Skip the prime rib and go straight for the beef tenderloin. The Lowlights: The service was pretty atrocious. Getting food brought to the table was a battle, we dealt with forgotten items, servers disappearing for long stretches, and an overall persistent feeling of being rushed. Great food can only save a place so much when the actual dining experience is a constant headache. Hard to recommend until they fix the service.

25-year veteran customer of Bates Nut Farm. A little disappointed in pumpkin quality. $98 and 6…read morepumpkins later, two of them had to be thrown away due to rotting. We bought them on Sunday, Oct. 18. Lasted not even two weeks (stored inside). For perspective, we usually buy a couple from the grocery store to leave on our porch through Fall. As a tradition, and for fun, we leave them out for as long as we can. We always make it to March, sometimes even April. Sadly, a Bates pumpkin barely would barely make it two weeks. We used to buy them in early October, even late September, with not too many issues. This the second time in seven years that Bates' pumpkins have not made it past two weeks. I think what happens is when the pumpkins are unloaded from the trucks and boxes, they get tossed and thrown around. My wife and her family have been going to Bates since the late '70s. They have pictures with the original Mr. Bates. I hope they can figure something out. On a positive note, the "patch" always makes for great pictures. Store has great snacks and food. Workers are nice.

Couple of suggestions:…read more 1) Go early in the season when there are more pumpkins available in the pumpkin patch. 2) Go on a weekend when there are more fun things to do! We went on a Monday late in the season, and things were kind of barren. There was a very small selection of pumpkins left, and only a few food stalls. Not the most festive or exciting atmosphere, but I mostly attribute this to the time of the month and day that we went. I saw on their website that they have live music, more food vendors, and other events on the weekend. The animals were so cute! And we did get a nice walk in among quaint surroundings. Please don't get me wrong- I did enjoy my time here. I probably would have given a higher rating if there were more things to do, so I may revisit next year at a more opportune time. The bates nut farm shop is fun to look around and has many great products. We picked up 4 bags of tea, and snacks like chocolate covered peanuts, coconut almonds, and toffee cashews. We're so excited to try them!

We've been stopping by nearly every week since: the boba is sweet and QQ (nice chew and softness for those who don't know), the drinks are consistently good, and Mike is such a personable delight of a person to chat with! I find that Kung Fu Tea in general runs sweeter than I like, but that's fine because the drinks are very customizable! My favorite is the malted black milk tea (and extra shoutout to Mike for being a real one for keeping it on the menu ), though their wintermelon, oolong milk teas, and strawberry matcha cream (every drink for me at 50% sweetness, less ice, and brown sugar boba and/or herbal jelly) often make an appearance in my drink rotation as well. My husband loves the honey green tea, the honey black tea, and wintermelon green tea (for him, full sweet, less ice, and brown sugar boba). Lots of options for milk tea, non-milk tea, slushes, coffee, etc.! If you're in the area, definitely check it out if you're looking for some quality boba drinks!

This is super helpful. I ordered their passion fruit green tea and also tried the Thai milk tea. Since it was my first time, I didn't know what their standard sweetness level was like. Next time I'll ask for more sweetness. I was disappointed by the boba. It was undercooked, unpleasant to chew, and I couldn't finish it. Glad I only got boba in one of the drinks so I could enjoy the second without trying to dodge them. Service was welcoming and fast, great location with plenty of safe parking nearby. Hope next time the boba is softer and enjoyable like I get at other places. Overall, very happy Valley Center has this option!
