Grand opening 9/13/25! The moo! my taro drink is made with fresh taro paste, not too sweet! It's not made with powder, that's important. The taro was thick and they were definitely not stingy with it! They had samples of their strawberry milk tea and milk tea 50% sugar for the opening, and that sealed the deal for me. It is a delicious milk tea, I dare say it may surpass my current favorite place in San Diego... and I don't usually like boba but theirs was very fresh and chewy. (It was a BOGO deal for grand opening so I had to get the boba milk tea) Grand opening: The first 50 people each day can pick a free tote (two sizes) - I picked the large one. The print on it is already kinda falling off but that's simply cuz of the material of the bag, which is also shedding constantly on me... the small tote might be good as a lunch bag. They had an ordering kiosk on the side but also one cash register. I will be coming back!!! read more

Long overdue review, but I'm so happy TP Tea finally opened a location in SD. Their drinks are delicious! My go to is their TGY milk tea with QQ noodles. Fast and friendly service, the store is nice and clean. They are in a plaza with plenty of parking read more

After my son and the crew finished their lion dance performance for the grand opening, we decided what better way to quench our thirst than to try TP Tea's delicious drinks. The place is airy and clean. Beautifully decorated for the grand opening. There are various drinks to choose from. At the moment, the dairy choices are fresh milk or oat. There are drinks without milk. Pending on what you order, price ranges from $4.95 - $7. Pretty reasonable price and comes in one size. Adjust the sweetness of the drink to your liking. We were a big group and the staff provided excellent service! They ensured they got the order right and were very efficient by placing our drinks and straws in carry out bags, all in a timely manner. I ordered TGY family milk tea, Coffee tea cheese foam, Mango passion smoothie and strawberry smoothie (buy 1 get 1 free - grand opening promo). All the drinks tasted fantastic! The drinks look so enticing and esthetically pleasing. I'm definitely coming back to try more. Thank you and may your efforts be fruitful! read more

TP tea soft opening! While we waited in line, we were given samples of their signature milk tea and osmanthus tea both at 30% sugar. We were recommended 30% sugar for milk teas and 50% for fruit teas. I got the Taiwan Classic milk tea because I wanted to try their QQ noodle - it felt like an in between of a boba and jelly. If you're looking for something different, would recommend to give it a try. read more

Let me preface by saying that I don't ever write reviews. However, after my first visit to TP, I knew that I absolutely had to. We visited on a whim during one of their grand opening days and had the pleasure of meeting who I can only assume to be the owner. I wanted to try something new so I ordered the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea (roasted oolong) because it was one of their recommended drinks and one of the few milk teas that I'm not familiar with. He suggested getting it with 50% sweetness (which I did) and assured me that if I didn't like it, he'd remake it for free, or offer me something else. The drink was delightful and I fully agree with his recommendation for 50% sweetness - it's just sweet enough to satisfy my craving for something sweet, but also still allows me to fully taste the tea itself. Even aside from the tea (which btw, was fairly/competitively priced - because I know some of you are going to ask!), what really blew me away was the service. The owner was SO thorough in his recommendations and had the kindest, most welcoming demeanor. You can tell that he's truly put his heart and soul into this establishment and it is honestly so refreshing. TP Tea, I will absolutely be back. Thank you for the delicious drink and for the exceptional service! *Picture taken after I already started drinking it. It was full when I got it! read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea w/ boba (drink was full when I got it, this was after a few sips!) - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I was super excited to see that TPTea had opened in San Diego. This has been my favorite boba place ever since I was in high school! I've been a few times since then and have had both fantastic drinks and service. The staff here is super friendly and very communicative with how long it would take for the drinks to come out. So far, I have gotten the strawberry milk tea (my absolute favorite), the black sesame iron goddess and the jelly milk tea. The boba pearls are perfectly chewy and not overly sweet. I love how fresh everything tastes and the quality of the ingredients they use. As with many other boba shops, you can adjust your sweetness and ice levels for most drinks. Parking here is plentiful! I have not had any issues with finding any parking, and I like how there are so many different restaurants and shops to hang around. From the times I have come here, their online ordering was not in place yet so you can only order at the counter or the kiosk in person. I definitely recommend coming by here if you have not stopped by already. read more

I really love their add ons. I always order the tgy milk tea and it has taken me a couple of orders to figure out my preferred sweetness but I think 50% is perfect for me. They have kiosks or you can order at the register. The service is pretty quick and theres seating both inside and outside the store. Their boba is chewy, soft and sweet. Other boba places do not have qq noodles or the cube pearls so I always order either of those add ons. The qq noodles are not that sweet but I love the chew and texture of them. read more

I came in for their BOGO deal and waited approximately 2 hours. The wait was well worth it, I got their strawberry milk tea drink and it was very good. 5/5. I would come here again and adding it to my boba shop rotation. read more

Stopped by TP Tea and tried the mango smoothie. It was refreshing with real mango purée, though the texture leaned more toward a slushie than a true smoothie. Still tasty and satisfying on a hot day. Looking forward to coming back and trying their teas next time. read more

I come here almost daily at this point. This location is the best TP location there is and I've been to 2 others. TGY milk tea with qq noodle 80% sweet is perfection. Mango drink is good too. I tried their new velvet osmanthus milk tea but it had a lot of tea leafs in it that was slightly grainy, so I hope they can fix that They are fast, efficient, and the BEST TP location there is. 10/10 read more

Yuck yuck yuck. This was a big yuck, oh yuck and I mean YUCK. Nasty menu that's over complicated to look appealing and then guess what, turns out to be yuck. "Mango tango passion tea green tea pineapple mango fruit tea".... And the. When u get it it's a cup filled to the brim with jelly as an excuse to put barely and drink, and the rest is all blended ice that taste like a orange rind AFTER you wipe ur behind with it. read more

It was my first time and wanted to try one of their popular recipes. I ordered the Taiwan classic milk tea with 50% sugar and goodness it was delicious! The lady who took my order had informed me that they were actually out of boba to "add" to drinks that did not initially include it. I was bummed as I do love the boba so I said it was fine without. Lo and behold, I came back into pick up the order and they had made some adjustments and exceptions for me! I felt so seen and understood and even more excited to try their recipes! No complaints and I will definitely be going back on my lunch breaks. Clairemont town square is really a great place for the community, thanks for adding to it TP Tea! read more

New boba spot in the Clairemont Town Square Shopping Center. There's lots of stores to shop at and places to eat as well in the area. Plenty of drink options. You can either order from the kiosk or at the counter. My order only took about 5 mins to make. The mango passion smoothie can be made with or without milk. My daughter opted to get it without milk. It's refreshing. Sweet from the mango and a bit tart from the passion fruit. Unfortunately, they ran out of crystal boba. My go to is usually green tea but this time I tried something different. To my surprise the TGY (Tie Guan Yin) tea with boba, grass jelly & QQ noodles was pretty good. TGY is a bold, toasty oolong tea. The QQ noodles reminds me of what people put inside a Vietnamese dessert called "Che." Boba consistency is soft and chewy. Not too sweet. As I was leaving, the girl behind the counter asked me how I liked my drinks. From what I read in previous reviews, they are willing to remake your drink to your liking if you weren't satisfied in any way. That's wonderful customer service. Please don't take advantage of it. Will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area. read more

Yum Yum Yum! Heard so much praised and reviews about this place when I visited New York, but never got the chance to try it out. So glade to hear that they open up a location here in San Diego. Friends and I tried 3 different flavors and definitely fell in love with the cheese cream. Service was excellent. Staff was super nice and willing to help out on suggestions. Since they are new to the area - the location was not crowded or packed at all. read more

My new favorite boba tea shop! I first tried in Seattle and was thrilled to see they opened a shop in San Diego. It's abit out of the way, but so worth it and has items on the menu that most/standard boba stops don't. I love their strawberry smoothie milk tea! Love that you can adjust sugar and ice level too. read more

The black sesame milk at half sugar was a satisfying, non-caffeinated drink and the boba were a nice chewy texture. It's located in the center where the former Reading movie theatre in Clairemont Mesa was located; and, I didn't realize the theatre had closed down until I was at TP Tea. Sad! read more

Yay! I've been waiting for months for this place to open. The last time I went to a TP Tea on my trip to Hong Kong and we went to it twice. Now, we have one here in SD! I came during soft opening. There's plenty of PARKING! I really think that's so key given other areas are getting rougher with parking. I'm tired of battling for parking at other places. I like the boba that is cooked through and is not hard in the middle. I am more of a pudding person though. I like that their pudding isn't gritty like other places. They really get the sweetness level right here. I enjoy the fact they offer 30% sweetness on some drinks. They have 15% but it depends. I am not really fancy and I got classic milk tea. I think that's how you can gauge a milk tea place. How well they cook the boba and the milk tea. Consistency seems off to a good start for a soft opening. The staff is really friendly. The place is bright and inviting. I am excited to try out all the teas that they offer. read more

It's alright. Boba milk tea was good but nothing to write home about. I was really excited for the Thai Tea Brûlée Tornado, but it fell a little flat of expectations because the blended ice and Thai Tea/brulee was not well distributed. You have to end up mixing it really well together to avoid having sips that were too sweet and sips that had no flavor (blended ice). Service was really great, the woman at the counter was exceptionally cheerful at the grand opening. read more

TP Tea is a well known boba place from Taiwan and in North Cal and now they have opened its first store in Southern Cali. Located in the Clairemont Square center near where the Reading Cinemas use to be at. They're known for their unique drinks and I agree. Since we had a lion dance performance there, we were one of the first 50 ppl there to receive their tote bag. And also they were doing their B1G1 free (9/13-9/14) on their drinks. The space inside is roomy with a few seating area. I saw a kiosk that u can order on there besides ordering at the front but not sure if that was used because of the large crowd for their grand opening. A few drinks I got was the Sunshine ice tea which is a refreshing citrus drink with pieces of pineapples and a unique jelly called Golden Jelly. I also ordered a mango-nada which has chamoy and tajin in it. A few other drinks (not pictured) was the TGY Family Milk Tea which has boba, coffee jelly, and pudding in it. Sounds like a lot of toppings, but it was really good! That drink was only $7, so that's actually a good price especially with all those toppings. Also got the tornado Thai tea which was nicely made cause it was a tornado swirl looking drink where it partly brown and white. There are definitely lots of drink choices so I can't wait to try them all. Welcome to the neighborhood TP Tea! read more

This is my new favorite authentic boba place when I'm doing errands!! The Taiwan classic milk tea was robust flavor and chock full of toppings! This is the best QQ noodle i've ever had and the boba texture was a solid 9.4/10. The grass jelly was smooooth, very different than the other boba shops nearby. I couldn't tell if it had much herbal flavor since the tea was very strong. Tea was well brewed and a bold classic black tea. The tie guan yin with salted cheese foam and tea jelly was pretty good. The tie guan yin was roasted and very tasty and refreshing. However, the cheese foam lacked flavor- wasn't sweet or salty or cheesy so it would be better named "cream foam" or "cloud top". It was a good texture though, not too heavy. The tea jelly was very smooth and refreshing, not too sweet :) Sugar levels are accurate- got 30% for both drinks. They have fresh milk on the menu as well. There was only less than 5 people waiting on a Saturday at noon and I got my drink in less than 10 minutes. The owners were very friendly and kind and patiently explained menu items with a smile to customers. They also stand by their drinks and will adjust it for you if the sugar level isn't to your liking! I also saw them give a topping sample to another customer, which is so nice of them and very rare. I love that their menu has a lot of legit teas and can't wait to try the sesame stuff! Clearly they are very dedicated to their service, craft, and quality. This location has some seating and tables but no guest wifi, and it can get kinda loud when the line is longer so I wouldn't recommend it for studying. They take card and tap to pay. Note: fyi they do not allow reusable cups. Conveniently located in a plaza with grocery, hardware store, Petco, Ulta, Michael's, and not too far away from a post office. Great taste, great vibes, and super quick service - need I say more?? P.S. this will 100% be the drink I sneak into the movie theatre next time I go to the movies haha read more

We stopped by TP Tea bc we heard it was new and had good tea. We were greeted with a very energetic manager named Billy. He was helpful in letting us know which teas we should try and at what percentage sugar levels to get and guaranteed if we didn't like it he will remake it to our preference. I would say the teas are good but what made the experience personable is Billy being very customer friendly. He is a great manager happily promoting TP Tea! read more

I am so excited TP Tea finally opened in SD. TP Tea is a subsidiary of Chun Shui Tang which is known as the inventor of boba. I have tried their Tie Guan Yin milk tea and let me tell you, there is no other boba shops that make it like TP Tea. I love that it has a strong tea taste, yet milky at the same time. Most places make it more watery which is not my cup of tea. They are also unique for their qq noodles, with a perfect sweet chewy texture. I have also tried their passion fruit green tea and there is no other shops that is comparable. Will definitely be a regular, yay! Oh, and it's conveniently located in a nice shopping plaza with ample parking. read more

So yesterday I went to a soft opening from TP Tea. It did not disappoint. We got the QQ and my son got the Strawberry Milk Smoothie. The place was absolutely cracking and workers were so nice.

They have a huge selection and this is a Taiwan Boba teas house that's very popular so happy to see it here in San Diego read more

I love to see a boba shop that has unique offerings at a reasonable price. The menu has good variety without being too over saturated with products. I got the sesame iron goddess (which I believe Iron Goddess is a type of tea) that came with SQUARE BOBA and the FGY family milk tea that included pudding, boba, and coffee jelly. Both were solid drinks that were not overly sweet and had great toppings. I like milk teas with strong tea flavors that aren't overpowered with sugar. I came in on a Saturday night and while there was a line out the door the service was incredibly fast. I enjoy the ambiance of the inside and look forward to trying other drinks on the menu. Overall, a solid boba shop that definitely stands out with quality and unique offerings that most places around SD don't have. read more
