    Rose milk tea with oat milk and mango slushies with popping boba.
    Mirna E.

    Service was great and answered any questions.'I had seen reviews about tofu banh mi sandwiches but was told they discontinued them a long time ago. Bummer! We got watermelon slushies with popping boba which were very tasty and I had a rose milk tea with oat milk. While tasty, it wasn't cold enough and could have used more ice. We enjoyed our drinks and appreciated that they didn't use premade powders that sometimes contain diary. Everything was tasty and we hope to return. A little pricey for three drinks but a nice treat nonetheless.

    Mango/coconut, coconut milk, boba. The coconut slices on top were absolutely delicious! Mango yum too!

    Totally Not Loser. Totally top in quality and taste and customer service. Sincerely stellar every single time! Is it expensive... yes, but at least here you are truly getting quality ingredients, fresh (they will not serve you anything that's not in great quality, always ripe and ready , if not they will kindly explain the avocados are not ready and suggest another drink, and you will NOT be disappointed with what they suggest, I've never had a bad experience here and I've never had a bad drink ever here, I've actually only had top quality drinks here, seriously each have been consistently top tier in taste, texture, and presentation). Do your tastebuds a favor and try one of their smoothies. Don't wait money on processed sugary drinks that leave you feeling blah afterwards. I feel incredibly well after having their smoothies. Super satisfied. I get the avocado coconut with boba. This one I shared with my daughter.

    We came to boba for no boba LoLz  Thai tea & mango smoothie.  Super cute place!

    Totally Not Loser aka TNL continues to live up to their name! You are always greeted with kindness and staffers ready to serve! It's a clean and welcoming corner business that's been around since 2013. We've frequented this place for many years now and continue to do so. By far this has been my favorite place for clean and REAL fruit drinks. No additional sugars etc! Quality at its best! Cute cups, generous and well presented product, and taste's gourmet! *They are a part of the 5 Star program too. So if you frequent you are rewarded by the points you've built up for yourselves. Totally worth it! *They remember you and your name. Probably remember that I'm the Boba sans the Boba "B" even when I change my hairstyle (ha) and look even! "See you tomorrow" is their way of saying goodbye and how much they appreciate your business! Treat yourself to a visit here!

    I've always enjoyed any boba milk/iced tea I have ordered here! Also their sizes are ginormous or at least the large cups are, but it's great to have more of their delicious drinks. Really easy to find parking quickly outside and go in to order. Doesn't usually take too long to get your order. Just a pleasant experience every time and they offer so many different options on their menu. Great for groups of any size to find something they would like to drink.

    I am picky about my boba places, so I'm not joking when I say this might be the best boba I've had in all of CA. Truly, it really is excellent quality, the service was excellent, and I highly recommend stopping. I love trying new places... But this place makes it make me not want to do that. It makes me just want to keep coming back and trying something new every time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

    Dragonfruit x Jackfruit
    Miguel B.

    This boba spot is the real deal! The jackfruit is my personal favorite, but they got tons of good selections and you can combine flavors also. Lucas has the best recommendations so if you're not sure, ask the pro himself! I try something different every time and it never disappoints. Fruit is super fresh and always on point. Hits. the. spot. Every. Time. GO

    Taro milk tea with boba
    Lilla S.

    Literally the most delicious taro milk tea I've ever had! Not too sweet, just right. They also make their taro rather than use powder and it makes all the difference. Super quick too.

    I just love boba and while I was visiting my daughter in Oceanside we decided to try TNL Boba Tea to satisfy my boba cravings and it did not disappoint! First of all the gentleman that served us was so nice and patient in helping us decide what to order. We ultimately ordered a guava yakult smoothie with boba, a winter melon milk tea with soy milk and boba, a winter melon iced tea, no sugar and boba and a purple fruit drink of some kind with boba. Everyone was very happy with our selections and I would definitely return here when I'm visiting in the area. Oh and the boba was perfectly chewy!!!

    One of my favorite lunch time boba spots! All the items are fresh! Great size menu and not overly sweet but still flavorful! Owner is super nice and always friendly!

    Maria T.

    Good drinks, clean space, and lots of options This is a solid boba spot that we've been to a few times and usually try something new each visit. We ordered a red dragon fruit bowl, a brown sugar Thai tea, and a dragon fruit tea. The bowl looked really nice and came with plenty of fruit and granola, but the flavor was pretty mild. You could taste the dragon fruit, but it was very natural and watery, so it didn't stand out much. The drinks were the highlight. The brown sugar Thai tea was slightly slushy but hit the spot. Not too sweet, not too plain, just really balanced. The dragon fruit tea was refreshing and easy to drink. Service was fast even on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was very clean. Noise levels were fine with music playing and a relaxed vibe. They have a big menu with milk teas, iced teas, coffees, and desserts, so there's a lot to choose from. Pricing felt average and what you'd expect for a boba spot. overall, it's a place we'll keep coming back to.

    Coconut Thai tea, added Coconut milk
    Allyson D.

    This spot is good for the drinks, but it's an interesting hole in the wall. If you frequent this shopping center, you'll notice this spot on the left corner, but you walk in and find a counter on the left. You can't see the drinks being made and there's no seating. The drink menu was a lot to take in, but i decided to go with a coconut thai tea with boba. We're given a buzzer and have to wait outside. Many people came to the shop while I waited for my drink. I was shocked when I received it! It was gigantic and so special! Lol. It was exciting. It had these noodles in it that I wasn't expecting. I liked it and will probably show up here again.

    taro smoothie

    The taro smoothie was so good! I definitely recommend this place. I honestly didn't expect the drink to be this big, but I'm definitely not complaining

    Free cup. Thanks Lucas!!

    TNL boba has the best boba in Oceanside. The boba is so fresh here. And they use fresh fruit in their smoothies. Everything is so good. I highly recommend. The service here is 5 stars. Lucas is great!!

    So good. I tried a beach breeze smoothie and loved it, seemed healthy too! Will be back soonread more

    I was excited to try our RAD juice since an account I follow on Instagram raved about them…read more However, I was disappointed with the overall experience. I ordered the 12oz Oside mix bowl and my mom ordered the 24oz Berry Blast with peanut butter. There were two employees there on the day that we went. I had to tell the person taking our order that we wanted to add peanut butter to the Berry bowl multiple times because he wasnt adding it (I could see it on the screen). My mom and I then sat outside to wait. When our order was ready, my bowl was fine but hers was the wrong size. It was the 16oz and they did not add peanut butter, even though I asked for it multiple times. When I brought it up to the employee, he said it was the 24oz. I told him it wasn't since they have the containers by the register labeled with the size and I could clearly see the second bowl was the wrong size. He finally asked his coworker and she confirmed what I had been saying. He immediately started remaking the second bowl. I understand that there is a learning curve when you're new so I was trying to not be upset about him telling me I was wrong. Anyways, when the second bowl was finally done, we noticed there was barely any fruit and toppings on it. Since I was waiting inside this time, I was able to notice that there were flies all over the place. Especially near the prep area, on the fruit, etc. I would recommend they keep their doors closed to prevent this from happening. Overall, I was not impressed after spending $30 and probably won't be back. I wish them luck and hope they are able to get it together.

    the best ding tea in north county by far. drinks are consistently the right sweetness and coldness,…read morecompared to some places where it feels different every time service is friendly but most importantly very attentive to our orders. we get the taro milk tea with boba and its just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess inside there isnt too much space to lounge, but there are chairs to sit at while waiting for your order

    Fix your listed opening hours! Nothing irritates me more…read morethan when a company list their hours on Google and these aren't the correct business hours. The hours say you close at 9 PM. I leave my house at 8:30. Arrive at your shop at 8:45 and all the chairs are off the floor and the employees are mopping the entire lobby. You have the right to close whenever you want, but don't make customers play open roulette and drive all the way to your location just to find out you're not open. Other than incorrect business hours listed (this is a big deal IMO) the selection of beverages here is pretty good. So many options from milk teas, slushes, and fruit juices. One of the frustrating things is that they have a bunch of different beverages posted on the windows and lobby with drink names, but when you order those under the exact drink names, the barista's have no idea what they are. They drinks are pretty good, and worth stopping by on a hot day.
