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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea Black milk tea: 0/2. I got the Classic Milk Tea, 50% sweet. This drink is not great to me; it tastes a little grassy and powdery, and it has an aftertaste reminiscent of mung bean which I don't feel works well. The sugar level is appropriate though. Other drinks: 1/1. Lots of milk teas, coffees, juices, slushes, and smoothie options. Ambiance: 0/1. The store feels more like a storage room than a shop front; there are boxes, plushies, and such everywhere. No seating. It's located in a random shopping plaza with plenty of parking. Service: 1/1. Order at the counter. There is a rewards system, I think it's through Fivestars. My drink came out VERY fast. Total: 2/5 read more

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. read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

My husband and I frequented this boba tea shop when we were dating 6 years ago. We have since moved a little further away, but we stop by when we can. Every drink we have ever had has been phenomenal. The smoothies are always delicious and come topped with the ripest fresh fruit. The boba is super fresh with a great taste and texture. We bring our friends and family to this shop and cannot recommend it highly enough. The owner is amazing. Please visit and support this wonderful and delicious family-owned local business! read more

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. read more

A small hole-in-the-wall spot I stumbled upon completely by accident -- and wow, what a pleasant surprise! They totally exceeded my expectations. No wonder there is a wait everytime. The drinks are seriously good, the toppings are fresh and fun, and the staff? Super friendly and welcoming. Even though it's pretty far from me, I keep coming back -- it's just that good. Fresh fruit is worth the price and wait! Every time I try something new from their menu, they manage to exceed my expectations again. I definitely need to come back and explore more of what they have to offer. Highly recommend if you're into good drinks, good vibes, and good people. I like it a lot! Would come here again read more

The drink was beautiful and yummy, but the music was SO loud when I walked in, I was immediately overstimulated. I know it's all made with fresh ingredients but it was almost $10 for my drink, which is STEEP for a boba place. read more

I sent my husband in with my order of a tarot milk tea boba with flan & extra boba OTW to the DMV bc we had some time & I'm pregnant + craving sweets. I was really hoping to get the drink with the flan ON TOP, but there was no flan to be found... & this was the whitest tarot boba I'd ever seen. Idk WTF my husband said at the counter, but there wasnt a hint of purple nor tarot, but I did see chunks of flan & there was more than just that & boba. Still tasted good though so I just drank it. They gave him a buzzer to wait, but the guy was super nice enough to meet him outside with the drink & even gave me a lil wave as I sat in the car (he probably overheard my husband call me to ask "SMOOTHIE OR MILK TEA?") read more

Best bang for your buck! It does melt fairly quick so be ready to start eating it quickly. The fresh fruits on the top are ripe and a perfect topper for my mango smoothie. Once you step in the music is very loud and first glance at the menu can feel overwhelming. Review the menu before stepping inside and be ready to order, yes I recommend this business overall if you're in the hunt for a delicious treat! read more

So....this place is VERY interesting. I felt like there are some good to it and some eh not so good. I'm not here to be rude but it's from my own perspective. Take this review however you feel. Place looks like it's run by a couple. Male in the front taking order and female in the back making drinks. Our order was 37 bucks. Likes yikes. For two drinks that's steep. So, you know we except some amazing drinks. Our drinks order was avocado smoothie with flan for both except one has matcha powder in it. Taste was not good at all. Avocado was unripe tasting and one of them was tasteless not sweet just tastes like milk and ices. We waiter outside in the cold for over 15 minutes for it. Sure I get it, it was only one person job. Anyway...we finally got our order and holy smokes that was a mess. They top it to the top with half avocado on top of it. In the picture it's not there because it fell to the floor. Cup was leaking from the extra stuff. Sometimes less is more. Cause our car becomes a sticky mess and smoothie everywhere in the cup holder. *to the owner: quick tip ask if it's okay to be top or not. Cause not everyone wants it piled on top of the cup like that* Many love to this places for trying. But won't be a returning customer. read more

Wanted some boba and I was driving down the coast with family and found this place on yelp reviews. It had good reviews and seemed to be popular. I tried it out and the first thing I notice was the music was really loud inside and a little hard to hear. I ordered an oolong milk tea with honey boba. Was a pretty good price for what I got. The service was really good, I got a buzzer that let me know when my boba was ready, and I was the only customer so it was super fast. read more

i stand corrected; this drink was so good !! the owner there let me know beforehand it was sweet so it was nice to get a heads up. However I like my drinks more on the sweeter side which is probably why i had a better experience this time than last time i ordered the horchata drink and it wasn't as sweet. Also love that you can also sign up to get discounts through text. Also my drink was done right away :) Will be recommending this place to my friends and family! read more

TNL Boba Tea - Brown Sugar Milk Tea With Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

TNL has been delivering the most TOP-TIER BOBA I've ever experienced, satisfying all of my senses for the past 8 years! When you go to TNL and order your boba, once you see it you're going say, That's Next Level! If you've never been to TNL before, get ready for TOPPING OVERLOAD! Imagine you go in and order a Açai Smoothie (which is my favorite btw), you walk out with your buzzer, it buzzes, and BAM! Every fruit is blasted on top, exploding out of the lid, which you can gorge yourself with delicious fruit that teases your taste buds before you get sippin' on your boba smoothie (or milk tea). Now, side note, I recently went and it seems like when you order a large, you get a Bucket instead of a cup because there's just TOO MUCH fruit. I'm telling you, TNL = That's Next Level. Now, this is an update to my last one which doesn't veer off from what I wrote before, but for 8 years, TNL offering the most PREMIUM BOBA in Southern California. I've been to multiple boba spots, but every time I go to TNL and get my cup (now bucket) in my hands, I say, "That's Next Level!" -------------------------------------- SIDE NOTE: Boba in the middle that's all I'm going to say. read more

Headed home from a mini vacation and was looking for milk tea. Saw this place and was glad they offered sea salt cream as a topping. Its a tiny place - to go only - but the guy helping us was sooo nice. We ended up getting the rose milk tea with salt cream & pudding and brown sugar milk tea with boba. The pudding is super tasty its more like a flan texture. Our drinks came out fast and were so flavorful. They have a wide range of drinks. Currently they sell hello kitty tumblers which are VERY cute so stop by if youre in the area! read more

TNL Boba Tea - Rose milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

I had high hopes from the reviews on Yelp, but it fell flat. Came in around noon. Easy to find in a strip mall, but it looked like they were moving in? Or out? I don't know but the space/counter area was limited and wasn't very intuitive of how to order. Luckily there was only two people in line to order. Pricey for the quality of tea. Grass jelly was definitely from a can and not fresh made (you can tell by the firmness/shape) tea was subpar. Confusing menu. Hard to explain but you'll understand when you visit the establishment. Would only come back if I was .2 miles away. read more

TNL Boba Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

This is an okay boba spot. Saw the good reviews and stopped by. It's located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. It looks like this place has been stuck in 2020/2021. It's a small space inside and the small seating area is blocked off. So this isn't a place to hang out by any means. The service is fine and quick. Nothing really to comment on. Talking about the drinks. They have a bunch of different flavor options and they have coffee too. I got the Hokkaido milk tea with boba. The drink itself was pretty solid, but the boba was not good. I like the boba to be warm and soft, but this one didn't seem fresh. It was pretty hard. I'd opt out of getting the boba here. Just get a drink. So this place is okay overall. The drink was decent but you can't hang out here and the boba isn't great. read more

Looking to quench our thirst in Oceanside, we found TNL on Yelp. As many stated in their reviews, there was a line out the door. Part of the reason for this is because only 2-3 people fit in the storefront. The seating area has been blocked off and is full of unsightly boxes. An older gentleman took our orders, wrote on the cups, and then pointed to the credit card reader when we were done. Each of us got fruit teas. The tea and the fruit was yummy and fresh! The boba was pretty average. The main downside was that half of our drinks were wrong. If they turned the music down so the person taking the orders could hear better, and they took a second to repeat the order back, errors could likely be avoided. read more

They even got me a baby shower gift. Best boba I've ever had & it's made fresh daily. TNL is the best of the best. They have a customer for life read more

Was really excited to finally try this place! I got the strawberry milk tea with honey boba and whip. The presentation of the drink was pretty. The flavor of the drink was very nice and refreshing. The taste of the honey boba was flavorful and they come in different forms, which is fun and interesting. My only gripe was that the texture of the regular tapioca pearls was quite inconsistent. Some of the pearls were nice and chewy. But the majority of the boba was a bit more hard/firm with a tough, gritty center. Edit: I did not know the honey boba was meant to be an exclusive sort, with "different texture sand flavors". Good to know, thanks! read more
