Tiger Milk Tea
Hannah C.

First time to this place, it's in the food court area of the north county fair mall. They have a big menu here, lots of options. I'm taking a star off because the service was a little slow, only one guy was taking orders and making them, but I saw three other workers in the store walking around; not sure what was going on there. Once I placed my order it came out fast which was nice. Also the line was so long it was in the walk way of the food court area. Ambiance was not great. My drink was very good though, fresh boba pearls which I liked they were soft and chewy. Overall I'm glad I tried this place, I'd come back again & maybe try something different.

Matcha milk with strawberry crystal boba
Jan L.

Saw their sign near Cheesecake Factory and wanted to give it a try. Menu was eye catching. They just opened for the day, so no line. I ordered a matcha milk with strawberry crystal Boba. It looked like Christmas in a cup and was very good! Two employees behind the counter were nice but spoke very quietly. Almost shy like so I had to strain a little to hear them. Gave them a Xmas tip in the jar! This will be a place to take my granddaughter next time.

Logo is cute. I like the design of the drinks. I like the number of options they have.

Taro with taro crystals
Klariza F.

They have really huge bobas, but the quality in taste is not as good as other places I've been too. The boba tasted bad, not soft like most places I've been to. It was chewy, just not the right mouth feel. It was too sweet for my friend, but maybe he wasn't aware of a sugar adjustment he could have made. It's at a food court at the mall so there is a lot of places to sit and enjoy your beverage. I would recommend Teaspoon or Daboba versus this place.

Cute logo, terrible taste. Couldn't even drink 1/3 of it before throwing it away. I got a green thai tea & it tasted like super watered down jasmine tea. The quality if super terrible. Would not recommend

I love boba drinks and I've had them in many places throughout SD. Unfortunately this is the worst one so far. Strawberry smoothie wasn't made with real strawberries and very strong artificial flavor. The brown sugar boba wasn't made very sweet. The syrup sank to the bottom and not mixing well with the tea (not real tea). Their ice cream was good though but they didn't make them in house. I wouldn't come here for boba drinks again.

Zen Thai Milk Tea
Kysa T.

I was at North County Mall and wanted to grab some dinner at the food court. I saw Tea Monks and couldn't pass up an opportunity to try a new boba spot. I ordered the Zen Thai Milk Tea. It wasn't prepared as quickly as I thought, especially with it being just me another person there but it was fine. Overall the drink was just okay. It wasn't bad but wasn't anything crazy either. Possibly tasted a little watered down. It is nice that there's a boba place at the mall now if you're craving some while shopping. Though I personally would wait to grab some elsewhere.

It taste like a cup of ice water with boba in it

It taste like a cup of ice water with boba in it... come on a weekday lunch it's not busy.

Looking to hydrate yourself with something sweet in NCM? Tea monks is where it's at. This boba spot offers many options for your bubble tea hydration needs. I usually hang out for my boba teas in central San Diego, I was happy to find this spot when I went shopping at the North County Mall. I was pleasantly surprised to see different flavors I've never heard of before so my friend I tried some of them. We tried the Mango Lychee Milk Tea and the Green Thai Tea! Both of them were absolutely delish. However, I tried my lychee milk tea with the balls and didn't really like them as I thought I would. Boba balls are always best when ordering bubble tea! If you're here reading this review, what are you waiting for? Try it out.

Taro Milk Tea

This place is so good, we're definitely coming back! We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and…read morethe woman who took our order was incredibly friendly. We ordered two turkey sandwiches, a tuna melt, a watermelon juice, and a berry smoothie. Everything was made with fresh-cut ingredients, and honestly, it was the best sandwich I've had in a while. There's no indoor seating, but they have a cute little patio area outside where you can sit and enjoy your food. Highly recommend!

There's no seating inside but they have a cute seating area outside. Unfortunately today it was super windy so we just got our smoothies to go. They have kind of a strange hodgepodge of items for sale inside, but they've obviously found that their clientele will buy other things. Some hair care, products, some kids, toys, batteries, popsicles, and candy. I got the peanut butter energizer smoothie. I had them add yogurt and whey protein to it. It was pretty tasty, but I think it would've been watery if I had not added the additional things. My man got the blueberry slapper smoothie and he also added whey protein to it. His was very light on flavor, I think they used too much ice. The only thing I really tasted out of that smoothie was a little bit of blueberry. It also had yogurt and oats, but it didn't have any sort of creaminess to it. They've got a really nicely sized menu with the sandwiches and açai bowls in addition to smoothies and fresh juices. I would try them out again.
