    Taro milk tea
    Tiffany H.

    It's a much needed boba spot in the area and great for when I need a quick sugar fix in the neighborhood. It has a parking lot that can be a little hectic during midday. I got the taro milk tea which is always a solid choice from this spot. I got it to go but it looks like a lot of people come here to work/study as well

    Taro Milk tea with boba and cheese foam. Delicious!!
    Clarissa D.

    The staff are super friendly and accommodating to me and my chihuahua. The location is Greta and there are lots of parking. My Taro Milk with boba and extra cheese foam on top was delicious. I will definitely recommend my friends and family here. I will be back again with Lola soon. Thanks Trinitea!

    This boba shop has the vibes of a cafe, there's plenty of seating and it's quiet. It's perfect for students or folks trying to get some work done. The ladies that were working were really friendly and were able to answer my questions quickly. Thai Tea is my litmus test for Boba shops and they passed, the cheese foam is nice addition as well. I'll be sure to stop next time I'm in the area.

    Mango slush is with honey & mango boba

    It has been a long while since we've been here. Place looks the same. Quiet. Nice soothing jazz music playing in the background. Not crowded, but steady flow of people coming in. This time we got an açaí bowl with our usual mango slushee with honey boba & mango boba. Satisfied my boba craving without having to go to convoy.

    Brown Sugar Milk Tea

    With a cute name and an extensive drinks menu, this place is great for that midday milk tea fix. Everything from a whole list of different flavored milk teas to smoothies and even some coffee drinks, there's something for everyone here. They offer choices of different mix ins and even sell some pastries like macarons. Get a table inside or snag a small one just outside and enjoy the sun while you sip your delicious milk tea. Even though they were pretty busy, the drinks came out within minutes. Easy parking in the lot out front. A great local spot that I'll definitely get again.

    Rose Milk Tea 0% sugar
    Ari Z.

    We came on a Sunday afternoon and found parking easily. The shop was busy but no wait in line. I got the Rose Milk Tea with 0% sugar, and it was still sweet. She took my order and went to make the tea while I was paying, and it was ready when I finished paying. The drink is simple (rose powder and non-dairy creamer), so I guess that's why it was so fast. We sat outside, and we went inside to use the restroom, which was clean but didn't have paper towels. I think this is an okay option in the area or if you have a craving or just want to hang out somewhere. I saw people studying and some board games to play there too inside.

    Another great tasting boba tea shop, the manager really knew his stuff on the different types of teas and where and how they are grown etc. Ordering was a cinch and wait time wasn't bad at all. For sure will be back!

    Just got done hiking Cowles Mountain and wanted a smoothie. I ordered a lg strawberry mango. It may be the best smoothie I've had plus it's very reasonably priced. Great job!!! 5* all the way!

    Thai Tea with honey and Crystal boba! The Crystal boba is a different texture so be prepared

    Some boba places (in rancho specifically) have great reviews and I'm not sure how, because they don't have the quality nor the customer service. Now, Trinitea is a place that truly deserves 5 stars. Between the quality of their tea (not watered down like many places tend to be) and their great customer service (issues are resolved quickly and with grace). This is our new favorite spot

    It kind of sucks that this boba tea shop is tucked away in this business plaza off of Navajo Rd. Makes it hard to find. I wanted a better boba tea than the one I ordered from my coworker the other day. That one featured very hard and difficult to swallow boba balls plus the tea didn't really taste all that good. I wanted the lychee black tea, which I got really quickly, and ended up tasting very good. The boba was softer and chewier than the boba I had the other day, which is a net plus. The shop has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. I like the multitude of board games available in that cupboard that was on the side of the interior.

Flavor-wise, it was excellent: the strawberry wasn't overpowering, and the oat milk didn't mask the matcha. You could still taste both the matcha and the strawberry. The consistency was just right for a cream-style latte. It's sweeter than traditional matcha, so if you prefer your matcha strong and slightly bitter, this might not be the drink for you. But if you like a lightly sweetened matcha where the flavor still comes through, this one is perfect. I'm curious to try their regular matcha next. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I mentioned my dietary restrictions (celiac), and they were accommodating, though there's always a possibility of cross-contamination, so keep that in mind. The shop itself is a great place to catch up with friends, study, or just relax. They offer light snacks like pastries, bagels, toast, parfaits, and acai bowls--unfortunately, nothing gluten-free for me, but still great options for others. Even though they were busy, the line moved quickly. Overall, this is a great matcha spot, and I can't wait to try more drinks next time I'm in town!

I like the roasting profile they use, and for a while, they've stocked a Costa Rica Sonora Black-Honey Natural that is just fantastic. Joe Paraiso, the owner, is a very experienced coffee purveyor, and he's been incredibly kind to me, sharing his time and knowledge to make sure I get what I want. And, not for nothing, when I'm at Brew Coffee Spot picking up the beans I ordered online, I always have a coffee. Joe either does a great job of training his baristas, or he's REALLY good at hiring talent, or both.

Recently, I spent some time back in La Mesa and thought I would go back and try this spot out. So much space, friendly staff, reasonable prices, with a bunch of gluten-free and vegan options when it comes to food. Plenty of parking, outdoor seating as well, and even when they were busy, I think I did not wait more than five minutes for my drink. I chose to use their honey syrup instead of regular honey, and was not disappointed with my iced oatmilk latte also, I have to point out something you don't typically see at a lot of coffee shops. Both times I went, there was an incredible mix of generations in that shop. From younger to older, it was awesome to see generations coming together. Great job guys!

I was on my way to church and needed an early cup and was surprised how many shops were not open at 7 AM. I'm sure I could have found a Starbucks but that's always reserved for a last resort. Big props to this spot being open early on a Sunday morning, so I could make it to church prayed up and fully caffeinated. The barista opened right on time (7 AM) I loved how friendly she was for it being that early, and she got me my drink within 3-4 minutes. I am not a big coffee drive-thru guy, but if I lived in the area, especially knowing it is veteran owned, I might become one. Thanks guys and best of luck!

I've had Red White and Badass Brew one other time after my husband raved about this cookies and cream latte he got here. It's a small, local, veteran owned shop, which honestly makes supporting it feel even better. So, I thought getting his favorite drink would help, but turns out that was a seasonal winter drink... please bring it back, it was sooo good. I got in line around 8:30 and there were two cars in front of me. This place is so small and cute, I actually used to work in one of these drive-thru kiosk style cafes so I didn't mind the short wait at all as usually its only one or two people working in there. I do wish they had a menu visible from the line because I couldn't decide what I wanted while waiting. The only things visible were the specials like an avocado toast and a "no lucks given" drink. I ended up pulling up the menu on my phone which works, but it would be more convenient if they had something displayed out front like a sandwich board or something. The employee was incredible, super friendly, my order was taken quick and my drink came out even quicker. It is a little on the pricier side for a cup of coffee but you are supporting a local business. With tip it came out to over $9 for a regular size. I ordered the no lucks given, which is a chocolate Irish cream latte, and swapped to oat milk. My first sip was amazing, a medium dark roast that wasn't bitter at all with a rich chocolate flavor. You could see the chocolate coating the walls of the cup and I'm pretty sure there was a cold foam on top that made it extra creamy. The overall drink was smooth and well balanced, just a little too sweet for my liking but that's something I can adjust next time. I did have a kind of odd moment though. My second sip was great until I got hit with a sudden punch of salt. Like a full on salt crystal just melted on my tongue for a good 10 seconds. It was strong and definitely woke me up... which I guess is what the coffee was supposed to do, I just didn't expect a surprise salt bomb to help with that. After that I checked my drink and everything looked fine and the rest of it tasted great. Overall I'll definitely be back. The service was great, the drink was solid, and I love supporting a spot like this. I can't wait to come here more often, and hopefully one day come back with my husband when comes home from deployment, with his cookies and cream drink back on the menu.
