So glad I got to be there for their final day on Monday, August 31, 2026. I haven't known the…read moreowners for very long, but after all the times I had the chance to enjoy their amazing pastries, sandwiches, and sourdough bread, I was more than impressed, and definitely well fed! Also complained when I drove 45 minutes uphill both ways to have nothing left to buy. LOL We also shared plenty of good laughs, especially when I told them I was allergic to water, salt, and oxygen. Somehow, they still managed to find something I could eat. I was lucky enough to buy their very last loaf of sourdough bread, and yes... it is now safely tucked away in my freezer. I'm trying to savor it one slice at a time and make it last as long as possible! It's sad to see such a special place close. I truly hope whomever takes over the business is able to carry on the wonderful tradition, quality, and warmth that made this place so memorable. Wishing the owners nothing but the best in whatever comes next. Thank you for the great food, the laughs, and the awesome memories.

We have been here 2 times, and will never be back…read more Beware of the Owner who will likely also be your server. Here is why: On our first visit, the prices for drinks were high to begin with, but when we asked for an iced latte upgraded to half and half (Breve), we were told it would be extra. Shame on us for not asking how much. A 24 ounce latte with regular milk was $6.95. The upgrade to Breve was an extra $4.00!!! For a grand total of $11.80 with a flavor shot!!! And the drink was of very average quality. More recently we got a scone that was EXTREMELY DRY. When it was brought back, the owner first said "You realize this is a scone, right? As a 30 year baker, that was insulting. Then she squeezed it and said she wanted us to try "the middle". Again, insulting. When I politely declined and said I'd like to get something else, she was very hesitant, and said she was afraid we would be unhappy with another selection, and preferred to give a refund. Insulting a third time. We think the owner might consider a more customer-centric approach, but that's just us.

Rude staff and a very disappointing experience…read more My friend ordered a Lotus frappe, and unfortunately, it was not good at all. It tasted more like crushed cookies than an actual frappe, and she was literally chewing on pieces of ice. Since we've ordered the Lotus frappe here before and it was perfectly fine, we figured this was simply an issue with how the drink was made this time. I politely asked if the drink could be remade as a caramel frappe instead, since we knew that one was good. Instead, we were told, "We can't do that, you would have to pay." I'm sorry, but why would we pay again for a drink that was made poorly the first time? We weren't asking for a free drink just because we changed our minds. We were asking for the original drink to be corrected because it was genuinely not drinkable. What really made the situation worse was being told, "We're not a chain like Starbucks to just remake drinks... this will go to waste." Respectfully, if the concern is that the drink will "go to waste," perhaps the better solution would be to make sure the drink is prepared correctly in the first place. I understand that businesses don't want to waste product, but making a customer pay for another drink after receiving one that was poorly made doesn't exactly feel like great customer service either. I'm not expecting the "customer is always right" treatment, and I'm certainly not trying to be difficult. But when a customer genuinely cannot enjoy what they were served, the reasonable thing would be to offer a solution rather than essentially tell them, "Sorry, pay again." We've had good experiences here before, which is why this was especially disappointing. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the way this was handled left a much worse taste than the frappe did.

I love Vanitea Cafe!! I am addicted to their snow bubble drinks and I just want to keep coming back…read moreto order all of their flavors and just in time for summer. The snow bubble drink is the consistency of a shaved ice with milk. You can choose from quite a few milks like whole, coconut, oat, and more. You can choose the level of sweetness you like from full sweet, 50% sweet, or 25% sweet so it's perfect every time because I don't like it too sweet. They have a whole selection of boba you can add to your drink so the combinations to these drinks are endless. They also have a happy hour when you can get discounted drinks which makes it a really good deal. So far all of the cashiers have been friendly and super helpful when I ask them questions. Of you live in the Ranch San Diego area, Vanitea is a must!!

Piña Colada Boba is a MUST…read more Vanitea Cafe never disappoints, but the piña colada boba? Next level. It's perfectly balanced creamy coconut, fresh pineapple flavor, and that smooth boba texture that ties it all together. Super refreshing without being overly sweet. It honestly tastes like summer in a cup. The vibe inside is clean and aesthetic, great spot to chill or catch up with friends. Staff is always friendly and drinks come out quick and fresh. If you're thinking about trying something different from your usual milk tea, go with the piña colada boba. Easy 5 stars every time.

The temperature was just right too: not too hot where I was unable to drink it. The barista was very friendly too. I did ask her what Irish Creme was and she wasn't able to give me a solid answer, but she was so friendly and it really wasn't that big of a deal. Very bummed that this place can't be my typical coffee stop.

I picked up a hot matcha latte when visiting a friend in the hospital from this small coffee kiosk…read more I asked for no sugar nor syrup, but with a touch of honey to cut some of the bitterness of the matcha. The matcha latte was very good. They did not have much baked goods when I visited, so I was unable to try one the scones that they carry. The coffee kiosk is located in the lobby of the building. The lady at the counter was friendly.

I ordered a large mango green tea with boba and mango jelly it was like 7.00 little steep but was absolutely very good. The drink was refreshing favorable the boba cooked perfect and the jellies lots of great flavors. I did notice some food items. The place super clean a few tables a little seating spot by the window . No seating outside. Great customer service. Lots of drink options. If I had any complaints it might be the drink price and size . Should be a little bigger for that price. Toppings are extra.. I literally go all over and try different boba spots. It's not a hip spot with loud music and lots of people . Very relaxed and there is even some food places next door so great place to grab a drink and some food. I have to say 5 stars for everything it hit the mark. Great job check them out!!

They have some good combinations on their menu and do not have much in way of Pandan, Ube, Black Sesame etc, but they have the standard, passion, Matcha, Milk teas etc. I tried a Passion Green Tea w Lychee jelly. It was very good. My friend tried the Strawberry Mango Matcha Latte w Lychee jelly and Mango Boba. She enjoyed it very much. Service is friendly and quick! They have a few tables inside and the area behind the counter appeared well kept and clean! I always strive to patronize local places instead of chains!! I strongly recommend Boba lovers to stop by and give Boba Tea Spot a try.
