    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. Store is clean. 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.

    Cute little boba and ice cream place in West Escondido. 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.

    New boba tea spot on El Norte Pkwy. It's a cute little store. Friendly staff and business is picking up since opening last month. I got the marble taro drink and my husband got wintermelon boba. They also have rolled ice cream which we haven't tried yet but you can't go wrong with ice cream as a dessert. We'll definitely be coming here more frequently since it's so close to home.

    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.

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.

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.

We walked in and first impression was that it was a clean, black & white decorated store, blasting hip hop / rap. The cashier was really friendly, chatty, and helped us customize our drinks. He was a big part of what made our first time there memorable. We picked this spot because we were looking for honeydew melon slush and they had it (both honeydew melon milk tea and slushie formats). We also got a Passionfruit Green Tea with Boba - 0% sweet. Both were perfect. The sweetness from the boba pearls was more than enough for my passionfruit tea and the honeydew melon slush was on point. The walls are decorated with framed black & white photos of hip hop / rap artists. After making our drinks, the cashier quizzed us on our hip hop artist knowledge :) If you grew up in the 80s-90s, this place will take you back to the golden days of hip hop/rap. What a fun twist for a boba shop. I think we found our fave spot in North County!

The caramel monkey was my favorite because it was super soft, fresh, and the cookie had great flavor. The Dubai cake was good but really rich. I definitely need milk or tea with this one.

The fried chicken itself was good, and the drinks were decent, but the overall experience was overshadowed by the staff's attitude. We asked one girl what she recommend to which she simply replied I don't know and the other one seemed irritated by our questions. This was our first visit, yet they didn't seem interested in helping us! Neither was particularly welcoming or friendly. To make matters worse, we overheard the employees' conversations which included lots of profanity and complaining about work, not a family friendly experience! It's disappointing because the products themselves were enjoyable, but the poor customer service made it difficult to enjoy the overall experience. 2 stars, completely unprofessional.
