    Marble Taro Slush & wintermelon milk tea
    Char B.

    I think this place has great potential. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Visually inside it looks super aesthetic and the drinks as well look super cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's till you try the drink and become disappointed. I got the marble taro slushie. The taro was pretty good. Taste like artificial taro flavoring but I'm kinda into that. It's the "marble" part that threw me off. It's basically from my tastebuds condensed milk that's really freezerburnt. Also they don't give u the option to choose ice level or sugar levels. Which in this case the drinks were super super super sweet. Service was super nice tho.

    This place definitely did a great job advertising on FB and Yelp. I took my daughter after her rehearsal from school and she was happy that there's more than just teas. She saw the shake and didn't see just Chocolate on the menu so we asked if that's possible to be ordered. I wanted to try the Milk Tea without boba and ordered the Okinawa. We were lucky that we got there before 6pm to get the BOGO offer from their Grand Opening. When we got our order, they made a mistake on the shake. On the menu, it says Chocolate Banana but we ordered Chocolate. They were able to correct the shake. Thank you! Overall, great atmosphere, great service and delicious drinks. Will come back!

    Thai tea with Boba

    I love Thai tea with boba. Sometimes it feels like it is difficult to get a good Thai tea, but this one was great! The honey Boba is super good. Service was nice and friendly as well as knowledgeable. Price is great. Excited to try some other options they are serving soon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Store is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Little Bear approved also! Little Bear also approved.

    Stopped by on a whim. I was headed to Vons and decided to try this spot out. They also serve rolled ice cream. I went with a safe drink, milk, thai tea with boba. Only comes in one size and no modifications on sugar. It was way too sweet for me, but it was still a good drink overall. Boba was cooked right nice and soft. The staff was very friendly.

    Iced Cardamom Chai Latte with Lychee Jelly

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little boba and ice cream place in West Escondido.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very friendly service! I went at 4pm on a Sunday, so only 1 person working. Took a little extra time to get my drink but I wasn't in a rush. I had the Iced Cardamom Chai Latte with Lychee Jelly. It was delicious and refreshing! Will definitely come back

    I'm so happy another boba place opened up nearby! The store is super clean and cute. I tried the matcha blended drink. It felt a bit gritty but the flavor was good! Boba was fresh. I'll have to come by and try the fruit teas. Imo better option than the other Boba shops around. I'd choose this local place over sharetea or ding tea any day. Service was kind. The cashier explained the most popular options to me.

    Like a mall smoothie and Share Tea boba mixed. Loved it! We didn't get to try the rolled ice cream because they ran out, but I'll be back.

    Sharetea is another boba place in the area that I have never tried before. I decided to order from…read morehere to just try something new, as I was tired of constantly getting a rotation of Ding Tea, Kung Fu Tea, and Teaspoon. Me and my husband actually DoorDashed the first order, my husband got the Taro Ice Blended w/ Pudding and I got this seasonal drink called the Spooky Swirl Ice Blend with mini pearls. Even though it wasn't fresh and it took like 10-15 minutes to deliver after we ordered it, it still came flavorful & icy! It barely melted and still tasted wonderful compared to most boba places we've tried for take-out. We went a second time on the way home from running errands and got different slushees because we really seem to enjoy them here. I got the Strawberry Slushie w/ Lychee Jelly and it came with vanilla ice cream (which I didn't know!), while I got my husband the Matcha Slushie w/ Red Bean and vanilla ice cream. His matcha drink was definitely my favorite, the Strawberry drink just kind of gave me a Summer drink vibe but very light in flavor. I still think this boba is great compared to most places, and I will be back more often to expand my boba drinks to try other ones on the menu.

    Share Tea in Escondido!…read more This place is a must try! It's a chain but this location is definitely a favorite, i asked for light ice and they gave me made a couple of cubes but the drink was filled to the rim! Service was quick and they were very speedy. Parking is right out front, free and easy to navigate. The place itself was bright, spacious, and i'd highly recommend stopping by.

    I would sell a kidney for their brown sugar boba…read more Okay I need to talk about Ding Tea because I've officially become "that person" who brings it up in casual conversation unprompted. My husband has started timing how long I can go without mentioning it (current record: 6 hours, and honestly I'm not proud of that). The staff here are so genuinely kind that I've started to suspect they're either extremely well-trained or just secretly the nicest humans alive - I'm leaning toward the latter. Every single time I walk in it's warm greetings and zero judgment when I order something absurdly complicated with three add-ins and "light ice, not too light- 50% sweet." The tea itself tastes like it was brewed with actual love and not, you know, whatever sad tea bags are haunting other boba shops. Fresh, fragrant, the real deal. And the boba?? Cooked to that perfect chewy-not-mushy texture that feels like it should require a culinary degree. I've had boba elsewhere that tasted like sad little erasers. Not here. Here they respect the pearl. Honestly this place has ruined me for other boba shops in Escondido. I walk past competitors now like a woman who's found The One and simply cannot be tempted. 10/10, will be back approximately tomorrow.

    Awesome place! Owner very accommodating and treated us like…read moreVIPS. Having a great day in sunny CA!
