    Thai Tea w/ Grass Jelly
    Mai W.

    This used to be my favorite boba spot in Carlsbad. Unfortunately now, drinks are just subpar. It's become more of a place my kids wants to come for the dopamine hits of the claw machine. It's actually super frustrating that drinks that "come with boba" you can't just sub it out for another topping. I literally had to fight with the cashier that I wanted grass jelly instead of boba with my Thai tea and she still wanted to charge me an extra $1 for the change. It's A SUBSTITUTION. I hope they get back to figuring out better drinks instead of robbing my kids with their claw machines!!!!

    i've been here a few times and i will say that the tea drinks don't really have a strong tea flavor but are still good. The coffees however are amazing and strong.

    Amazing boba and amazing service! Heaven and Haley are the best!!

    Absolutely LOVE this boba shop!! The drinks are so good, the ambience is really nice, and the service is amazing. Heaven and Haley are the sweetest and make the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend coming here for some really good boba!

    Osmanthus Oolong Tea w/ Honey Boba & Brown Sugar Crystal Boba
    Alyssa N.

    Stopped by on a Thursday afternoon and the shop was pretty empty but there's sufficient seating for those who want to hangout after work or school. Ordered an osmanthus milk tea with brown sugar boba and crystal jelly and it was pretty decent. I will say, the boba had a bit of a sour aftertaste (i noticed it when I was driving so didn't bother going back). I wouldn't say that it's from the boba going bad but I'd recommend the shop to test with different types of honey/syrups. Some react oddly to the starch of the boba and creates a sour taste. (Experienced this with a few shops before so it's not a major alarming thing for me, though I could see why other customers might flag this). Consistency of the pearls was good at least. The tea itself was floral, not too strong so for a younger audience, this is good. Service was good and employees were nice and kept the place clean. I'm a little neutral on the shop, so idk if I'd come back or not. Tbd. Overall rating: Food: 7/10 Service: 10/10 Menu: 10/10 Restaurant Vibes: 10/10 Price to Overall Dining (POD): 8/10 Update: The shop clarified that this is the natural taste from a boba brand they use. It makes sense and it's probably why other shops have the same boba after taste. I appreciate the information :)

    Double Matcha with oat milk
    Grace C.

    Teaspoon is a solid spot to get boba. Their drinks are refreshing and unique. I was excited when they announced that they would have their double matcha so I had to try it. I got it with oat milk and 25% sweet. It was a solid 3.5/5. It was on the sweeter side and the matcha flavor was not as strong as I'd like it to be. It's definitely better than a Starbucks or Better buzzed matcha but not something I would go out of my way for. Service was great and our drinks came out pretty quick. Update: Teaspoon reached out to me and let me know that I could have adjusted the matcha pour and made it stronger. That would have definitely improved the drink and make it a 5/5. I recommend trying the double matcha and requesting a heavy pour of matcha. Once again service was great and I'll definitely have to try this new adjustment!

    I came in after dinner to relax with friends, the atmosphere was very welcoming with board games to play and nonrigged claw machines. I was able to win 2 prizes for 10 dollars. The drinks themself were very refreshing and accurate especially since I make alot of modifications next time I come back to san diego I'm coming here to unwind!

    I love their taro drink, which is non-dairy. It has the perfect consistency and sweetness. I enjoyed having the taro bits in there, but they tend to clog the straw. Service was friendly and efficient, but it's not particularly noteworthy.

    Jasmine green tea with boba
    Christopher S.

    Nice spot for boba. Very nice service and clean. Ordered jasmine green tea with boba, light ice, 50% sweet. Tea was good, ice was light, and not too sweet, but also kinda light on the boba. For the volume or drink I'd expect a little more boba. The boba was good and consistent though still.

    Left: Liquid Gold Right: Classic Thai Tea
    Kaitlyn W.

    Teaspoon is one my go-tos for boba and always has the strong tea flavor that I look for in my milk tea. The liquid gold drink was very creamy and refreshing, and also had the perfect sweetness. The classic thai tea was also very good and came with boba, which was average if I'm being honest. I loved the ambience inside Teaspoon. There were many tables for people to sit and sip their drinks while doing work. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back for more!

    Location is easy to find. We are not locals and just happen to be in the area. I like how their drinks are not very sweet and their portions are bigger. They look very nice on camera. Wait isn't very long and the girls making the drinks are nice and friendly. For a small store, they have a lot of tables and seats provided. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the price. They are on the pricier side. Overall, I will come back again if we are ever back in the area.

As a thank you to Mochichis, I also planned to buy extras for some friends who love donuts. I sent Mochichis' website link to my friends and asked them to let me know what flavors they'd like. Between their picks and mine, I went into Mochichis expecting to come out with seven donuts spanning five different flavors. Much to my disappointment, Mochichis doesn't keep their website updated, and only two of the five flavors I requested were available. The others hadn't been available for months. The lone employee working that day was very nice, very friendly and very patient while I decided on another flavor for myself. Of the four of us who ate the donuts--two Mochi balls, four chocolate with sprinkles, and one strawberry--two of us (me included) didn't much care for them--too sweet, sticky, and doughy, and the glaze was so soft that it was kind of a mess to eat. One friend said it was "good" and nothing more. On a positive note, my other friend loved the Mochi balls. Her words: "I loved the mochi-filled donut. It was the perfect texture and taste. Reminded me of when I lived in Japan years ago and all the great memories of watching how they make mochi."

I decided to try out some wings. I ended up trying 5 of the 6 flavors: Hot Spicy, Spicy & Sweet, Soy Garlic, Cajun Lemon and Original. I think the Original and Soy garlic were the best ones. I had to drive home so it was about 30 minutes away. They left the boxes open to try and keep the wings as crispy as possible. I think if you get these in house, they would be super delicious. I will admit these wings were pretty meaty, a very good size. I am used to seeing smaller or average size at a lot of wing spots. The lady working (Elizabeth) was super helpful and friendly. I chatted with her while my order was ready to go. Decor seems nice, there is a bar and some tables as well. If you are in the area, I would definitely stop in for $1 wings during happy hour.

I would pass on the drinks because the boba was overcooked and it didn't have any flavor or sweetness to it. I definitely want to come back and try their happy hour and order some of the appetizers like the corn cheese and Korean pancake.
