After our purchase from Kababayan Bakery, we walked through this place on our way out and decided to stop by. It's a really small place with only a few tables. We ordered various boba drinks and a halo-halo. The young man at the register was really helpful & nice and didn't seem frazzled at all given the long line on Father's Day. The Purple Drank and Ube Wan Blendobi was a hit but Halo-halo fell short, even after manually mixing all the ingredients together, it tasted a bit bland. Hope to try the other menu items when we're back in the area. read more

Toby and Saiden truly made this experience top notch! I already loved coming here, but their customer service and energy made it even better. And PLEASE run for the cookies especially the birthday cake ones because I am officially obsessed. They are so good. The drinks are also amazing. I've tried a variety of them and every single one has been delicious and packed with flavor. Definitely one of my favorite spots when I want a sweet treat and good vibes. Highly recommend! read more

I have been going to Snoice for a few years now, and for the first time ever, today when I went in here, i was informed that the shaved ice machine was down. Noooooo! I was about to leave when the clerk Toby suggested ice cream. They had a bunch of great flavors including Mango. Hmmmm, okay, can I have that with the mango topping? Of course! And she even suggested the sweetened condensed milk that i normally would have on my shaved ice, so really, the dessert is very similar to what I would have ordered if the machine had been working. Sooo delicious, and so much more than just a dish of mango ice cream! Emilio assembled a VERY generous work of art really! I am extremely pleased! I really wish I could include a photo, but I ate it immediately! And that was awesome enough, but when I went to pay, I put in my phone number as always and Toby found that I had a $5.00 reward coming, so my yummy frozen treat was basically free! Best rewards system EVER! Thank you once again, Snoice! read more

Coming from LA, my brother in law told me his coworkers recommended this place to him. Finally got to try it when visiting this past weekend. I didn't get the name of the employee but receipt says Cyrene so will go by that. She was attentive, super nice and friendly. I said it was my first time there and finally got to try it. They had a first timer discount plus a free topping! Even better!! I was craving a halo-halo and haven't had one in a awhile and with weather getting warmer, it was calling my name. So i got their original which was refreshing. However, next time...i would do the other option where you can choose your own toppings (up to 6) in your halo-halo. Everyone has a different preference. Their original has (sweet banana, ube purple yam, jelly, rice krispy pcs, and another puree of something in it) i added egg pudding as my free topping. I prefer texture and crunch. So jackfruit, tapioca and toddy palm would be my taste of choice. I also got an island breeze drink which is pandan with ube cream and it was delicious and refreshing too!! Was not too sweet and you can really taste the flavors in it. This place is also connected to a quick Philippino fast food and bakery. Super convenient to get extra goodies home!! Was sad they ran out of turon though. Parking is small but descent. The store was also small but also descent and clean. Can't wait to be back to try other things and my preferred toppings next time! read more

This is the local spot to go when it's been hot like how it has these past few weeks, and you don't want to drive far! Conveniently serving the Paradise Hills, Spring Valley, Lemon Grove, and Bonita areas. Friendly and efficient service. Drinks are made not too sweet the way I like and it's very quick to come out! My son always orders the Ube Wan drink which is a mixture of ube and cookies and cream. I always get the 2-story Thai Tea which I love because the thai tea is a bit on the blander side which I like because once you mix in that vanilla ice cream it's perfect and gives it the sweetness it needs! They also have a variety of cold drinks in the fridge. Their fruit teas are also really good. I have yet to try their halo halo! read more

This review is for the catering order that I underwent for a party. I placed the order and got a quote, which conveniently I was able to pay online. I purchased a large Thai iced tea box and two small mango iced tea. I was thinking this would not be enough for the 50+ ppl that showed up but I was mistaken! This was more than enough for the guests and the boba lasted longer than I anticipated. The boba was chewy and fresh and the drinks were the perfect amount of sweetness. I definitely will order again from Snoice for my next catering event! Staff were responsive and answered all of my questions. read more

SNOICE has always had such a warm friendly vibe - can sense that feeling from the parking spot itself. That loving warm hospitality (family-run) is the top highlight here and that extends virtually to the social media team also :) In terms of drinks and desserts, they have some of the most unique creations in SD.. They all look very pretty also :) Mind you though, all of them are a bit on the sweeter side and I personally always get 0-sugar option whenever that option is available. Another top experience at SNOICE for me - I never miss any of their seasonal launch events (before some of those go on their seasonal menu). read more

The go to ice cream is the "Ube" ice cream and I see there's also the "pinipig". It had the usual fruit stuff but I didn't see the sweet mung bean and Jackfruit. It still worked and it tasted good. Overall I got my fix. Place looks cool and there parking and the bakery next door is worth a try. read more

The person who runs the spot was lat so I had to wait awhile before ordering, which was okay. I ordered the traditional black milk tea with no boba and the popcorn chicken. They have a great combo special which is one boba drink and a bite off the "Bites" menu for $9.99 plus tax. It's a great deal. The black milk tea was good. It was smooth and rich but the black tea flavor needed more of that black tea flavor. It was mild yet tasty of course. The popcorn chicken was very good. The deep fried chicken morsels had a nice well seasoned crisp light breading and the all white meat chicken inside was very tender. They served the popcorn chicken with a side of sweet & sour sauce, and hot mustard & ketchup. The popcorn chicken was definitely a repeat. The older gent who stepped in to take my order and make my beverage was a regular who works at Wong's. He was kind and helpful.

Compared to the name of the spot, the interior felt like it belonged to a night time sushi spot. I'm not sure if they are allowed to repaint the interior, but changing the black/dark blue walls to something more bright would open up the space a little more-- it is a small place, but felt even smaller with the design choice. The menu was organized, but it seems like they were out of a few items in the morning as they didn't have mini pearls--only regular. And for some reason, you couldn't change the sweetness level on the drink...or maybe it just related to the drink I chose? Not sure, it was my first time there. The worker was nice & patient. Although for not having many people in the shop, I hope they could take the time to perfect their boba. It was VERY clumpy and not good-- texturally and taste wise. It didn't have that rich brown sugar taste and it was very gooey and chewy (not in a good way). They did give a good amount of boba, but I feel most people would toss it out because of the bad quality. Which would be a waste of money. To drink, I chose the Hokkaido Milk Tea with Pearls. I wanted to do 50 or 75% sweet but I guess since this is a caramel noted milk tea, it isn't possible. I think the tea was ok. I would order something else next time. My friend had the Okinawa Milk Tea with Pearls, I'm unsure if they asked for a certain sweetness level or not. They said the tea was good, but the pearls weren't good. Something to note, I charged the drinks on my card and rather than saying Sayaka Tea, it said Sharetea...interesting. I wonder if they rebranded themselves or ?? Each drinks were around ~$7-8 ish! I'll give them another try, I hope the boba will be better the next time around and I'll be allowed to change the sweetness. If not, I'll be heading a little further down the street as this tea spot may not be for me!

First of all the service was great and drinks were made in very timely manner! I ordered my girlfriend a Taro Blended with boba and I got her son a Watermelon smoothie. When I got the drinks I smashed the straw into the table (pointy side down)... true boba people know this is a terrible idea because it gets rid of the pointy tip to bust through the plastic top.... Well I was thinking I could muscle it through and nope... watermelon smoothie EXPLODED all over me and the counter top... while people were ordering I was so embarrassed haha the girl running the register immediately grabbed the drink and said "don't worry about it I'll make a new one and don't worry about the mess I'll take care of it" is till cleaned up the mess but the gesture was incredibly nice seeing how it was my fault. On the other hand the Taro was somewhat watered down and was not like most Taros, the Watermelon smoothie I didn't try but lil man said he enjoyed it and drank most of it all down. I think if you're craving boba while out shopping the mall this place idle good but to go to the mall for this boba spot..... probably not. Thank you for the amazing customer service Tea Monks

The best drink I've tried so far is their seasonal icy peach with pear jelly added. The pear jelly is worth the upgrade if you like jelly type toppings, though be warned that it's fairly sweet so adjust your drink's sugar accordingly. I have a sweet tooth and typically find the "less sugar" option to be the right amount. My only gripe is that my brown sugar boba is often a little hard, not freshly cooked. The pricing is on the higher end for boba, so I am a bit stricter on what I expect to receive.

I like their Jasmine Biscoff drink as well as their Jade Matcha. I will say that the drink is more milk ratio heavy, instead of tea heavy. I do prefer a tea heavy drink, but I still think that it is good and a nice treat to have. I like the decorations and the cat pictures they put up. It is a very warm-toned, and minimal aesthetic interior. There are a few chairs and benches letting you sit and chat with friends, but not many tables, so it wouldn't be ideal to do work. Parking: Located in a small plaza so parking may be hard to find.
