I've been to this spot a couple times and the tea is one of the best teas i've had in san diego! i do prefer the sweetness level to be 50% since they run on the sweeter end with their drinks. you can also taste test the drink flavors beforehand and those ones are also 50% sweetness. Snow Jasmine(Milky) - simple but solid choice Dark Phoenix - stronger tea side Peachy Princess - if you like a fruity kick Emperor's Red Robe - good milky but strong tea taste (my favorite) Duck Sh*t - on the sweeter side Service: Pretty efficient and helpful in choosing flavors each time Ambiance: Super busy and has loud music yet a lot of people pack the place to study and do work here. There will be some people just chilling too but a LOT of people come and do work here read more

Not what I was expecting considering all the positive reviews. I was hoping for the tea to be more fragrant and flavorful, but the milk flavor was much more prominent than the tea itself. That being said, the shop had a really fun vibe with cool aesthetics and a nice atmosphere overall. read more

Yun Tea House - Dark Phoenix Milk Tea & Non-milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Yun Tea House is an extremely popular tea shop in San Diego and the shop uses teapresso machines to prepare its drinks. The restaurant group (SD Backyard) that owns this tea shop also runs Steamy Piggy (Casual Chinese Fusion), Formoosa (A Taste of Taiwan), Flama Llama (Asian Latin Fusion), Bok Bok Dok (Seoul Spicy), Viet Nom (Modern Vietnamese Cuisine), and Oi Shiba (Ramen Shop - now closed). In a way SD Backyard is the San Diego version of Kei Concepts in Orange County. [Parking]: The shop is located in a plaza with other popular Asian restaurants so it can be pretty difficult to find an available parking spot during busy dinner hours. Street parking is not an option on Convoy St so this parking lot is the only option. [Atmosphere & wait]: Very modern decor with cloud-shaped lamps and a table with a running river. Our party waited close to 20 minutes on Saturday at 8 PM before finally being able to place an order. [Menu]: The cashier allowed customers to sample various drinks (all samples were 50% sweet). Personally I liked Dark Phoenix and Red Robe. In addition, they also sell perfumes based on tea aromas (Iron Phoenix, Snow Jasmine, Peach Princess, White Tiger - $25 for 30 ml Eau de Parfum) and customers can sample each perfumes while waiting in line. According to the menu, the top five drinks are Dark Phoenix, Duck Sh*t, Emperor's Red Robe, Monkey King, and Iron Goddess. *** Dark Phoenix (cultivated from Phoenix mountain in Guangdong, China. Phoenix oolong has been selected for its darker shade & stronger fruity aroma which leads to a fragrant milk tea - 50% sweetness - $6.55 + with boba $0.75): A refreshing drink with the right amount of sweetness. The boba was decent, but definitely not the best I have had. *** Given the lack of tea shops using teapresso machines like CHICHA San Chen in San Diego, this is currently one of the top tea shop options locals can find in this part of town. P.S. - Yun Tea House gives a physical stamp card for each purchase, which is something rare to see nowadays given that most other tea shops use digital rewards programs. read more

I stumbled across Yun Tea House with almost 5 stars and thousands of reviews and thought "how good can this place be?!" So i decided to go before flying home. The parking lot is small, cramped, and requires payment. When you walk in you'll be greeted by a long-ish line but it moves pretty quickly. The drink that caught my attention was the duck sh*t milk tea because well, the name. LOL i got this and my sisters got the snow jasmine milk tea and the dark phoenix milk tea. All of these were pretty good. My favorite part was that the tea flavor is strong and fragrant. They also sell perfume in the scent of some of their teas. Of course i bought one because who doesn't wanna smell like jasmine milk tea? Hahah I can definitely see how they're holding onto to their high ratings. read more

I think the quality went down here. The tea leaves a weird after taste. Not worth the long lines that they always have. The inside has also gotten less clean but it's hard to maintain cleanliness when it's always that busy. If you can find a table, it's not a bad place to study but it gets busy which means it can get loud. read more

Yun Tea House - Dark Phoenix (Milky) 50% Less Ice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Tea sensory heaven! There's zen decor, fragrant tea aromas, and tea-based perfumes to sniff while waiting in line. Their menu is tea-centric with unfamiliar names. Luckily, the cashier was friendly, offered samples, and described each flavor. Favorite drink: Dark Phoenix Milk Tea. It's bold, roasty, and the most flavorful one we tried. We also tried the infamous Duck Sh!t Tea, but it was too light and earthy. Overall, drinks were more milky than tea-forward, so if you're into strong, robust tea flavors, this place might not be for you. Add-ons were a miss. The boba was mushy on the outside and hard in the center. The barley popping boba didn't quite work for us either. The interior is spacious with tons of seating, and that waterfall table in the front is a gorgeous showstopper. This is a place you'll want to hang out in. Try to come before the rush, because this place gets packed! read more

What a beautiful tea shop. Their ambience is so calming with the cloud lights. They have a very nice variety of authentic teas. I like that they let you try samples of their different house teas. I got the Snow jasmine milk tea and it was absolutely delicious. I also bought their Snow jasmine perfume. They have four different perfumes there, and I am absolutely obsessed with the smell of the snow jasmine. It's literally as if you're walking past Jasmine bushes on the street. Easy to park because it's in a shopping plaza and complimentary for two hours. I can see that it's very popular because the line is quite long on a weekend. I also went on a weekday and there was still a line but not out the door. Definitely coming back again for tea and to buy the perfume again when this one runs out. read more

A very cool little tea house in the corner of the shopping center across from Wienerschnitzel on Convoy. The interior is very thoughtfully decorated, with a miniature river running through a table, lots of little cloud-shaped lights hanging, and a lot of cool aesthetic touches. The staff are really friendly too, and even though it's often busy service moves quickly. My first time I ordered the Emperor's Red Robe milk tea with boba, and it was really delicious. I got it only semi-sweet and it was the perfect blend of floral, oolong, and milky flavors. This seems like a great place to work remotely, have a casual hangout, or even a first date. I'll definitely be back soon! Update: Came back a second time to try the Iron Goddess, and Philip and Ellie were working. They were super helpful, and my tea was awesome! I loved the light fragrance of the quan yin tea, just bright enough without overpowering the drink at all. read more

Yun Tea House is one of my favorite tea places in San Diego! I love that they let you sample their most popular milk teas, and the workers are really kind and helpful in deciding what flavor to get. My favorite is the Dark Phoenix because it tastes like an elevated classic milk tea with a really nice, strong tea flavor and creaminess. I got 50% sweetness, and I feel like that was the perfect amount. The interior also has a really cool and calming aesthetic, and the table with water running through it is really unique. I love going here whenever I'm in San Diego because you can really taste the quality and depth of flavor in the teas they use read more

Dana was super helpful with describing and letting us sample different teas. We usually like our teas stronger in flavor with more hints of floral/fruity. We usually like Dark Phoenix so we also liked the Ducks**t which is a little lighter in tea flavor and the Peachy Princess for its peach flavor. Monkey King and Emperor's Red Robe was sweeter. read more

Ducksh*t is duh sh*t! Yun Tea House describes it as: "This oolong tea was so precious to its farmers that they gave it a strange name to ward off any potential thieves. It's known for its sharp and sweet taste with a slight gardenia aroma." This visit I noticed unique wood seats and a table with flowing water which was a joy to watch high among the caffeine clouds. read more

The tea was okay, and the service was quick. I will say that the shop itself has a nice ambience (the floating cloud lights and the water feature in the main table were cool). I just didn't think that the beverages lived up to the hype of the Yelp reviews - the Peach Princess wasn't particularly peach-y, nor did the Orange tea taste like fresh orange juice. I'm not sure if we went on a middling day there or what? There are better options in this area for fruit teas though, for sure. As for milk teas, fresh milk is not an option here (it's nondairy creamer all the way), so I would probably go elsewhere for those, too. read more

Yun Tea House - Dark Phoenix - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I came here to try their Duck Sh*t, Monkey King, mango sticky rice, and Dark Phoenix drinks. Overall, they were good! But if you're someone who prefers a stronger tea flavor over milk, this might not be your spot. The drinks lean more on the creamy/milky side. Still enjoyable, just not exactly my personal preference since I like my tea more pronounced. The place itself is really aesthetic and super Instagrammable. They also have about three tables outside if you want to sit and hang out. I also noticed how organized they are with ordering there were a lot of people, but the line moved pretty fast and I didn't have to wait long for my drinks. Overall, it's a solid place. I'd come back again to try more from their menu. read more

I ran in here to get a mango sticky rice boba drink and it was surprisingly very good. It's a very filling meal and drink in one. You definitely taste the mango sticky rice flavor. And it had actual sweet sticky rice inside the drink. I've had this drink at other places before and it wasn't that good. But Yun pulls it off as the drink was sweet,chewy and very delicious. The boba texture here is very good as well. Chewy and soft like it should be. This is a spacious place with a busy parking lot. read more

Yun Tea House - Mango sticky rice with boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

When in SD, Yun Tea House is a must! The wait was pretty long when we went so just be ready for that, but it ended up being completely worth it. What I appreciated is that they let you sample the teas before you commit. That made the whole experience feel a lot more personal and helped us pick drinks we actually loved instead of guessing off a menu. We tried the Monkey King, Yun Roast, Dark Phoenix, and Iron Goddess and every single one was delicious. What stood out the most is how you can actually taste the tea in their milk teas. A lot of places drown it in sugar or milk. Here the tea flavor is rich, smooth, and really comes through without being bitter. Each drink felt carefully made, not rushed, and you can tell they care about quality. read more

After eating next door, we decided to walk around the area and noticed a line outside Yun Tea House. We checked Yelp, saw it was a tea spot, and decided to get in line to try it out. Parking can be difficult. There is complimentary parking for 2 hours, then it becomes paid after, so plan accordingly. Since it was our first time, we asked the cashier for a recommendation and went with the Dark Phoenix at 50% sugar. Great choice. The flavor was smooth, rich, and well balanced. Honestly, probably one of the best milk teas I have had. The wait was worth it. The space inside is big and comfortable, making it a great spot for studying, hanging out, or just relaxing with a drink. Despite how busy it was, the service was fast and efficient. Overall, a great experience. We will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. read more

The tea flavor is not quite like I was expecting. I thought it would be more fragrant based off of their descriptions. I got the dark phoenix and duck sh*t. The duck shit was a bit more fragrant but overall the flavor of milk was more prominent I did really like the perfumes they sold! I got the snow jasmine! The vibe here is really nice and would be a good study spot. The line was long but the service was good and we didn't have to wait too long to get our drinks. read more

So far I have tried jasmine, peach and strawberry matcha! They all are good! read more

We always stop by Yun Tea House whenever we're in San Diego! The store is really nicely decorated and they have a lot of tables so people come here to study or to hang out with friends. We got the peachy princess milk tea and the mango sticky rice icy and both were so good! My boyfriend always gets the peachy princess milk tea and it was my first time trying the mango sticky rice icy. It tasted just like the dessert since there's sticky rice topping in the drink. I love how strong the floral tea flavors are at Yun Tea. And I like how you can try a sample of the drinks before you order. read more

Yun Tea House is such an iconic boba spot in the heart of Convoy and definitely lives up to the hype. First of all, their drink names are so creative and cute, which makes the whole experience more fun right from the start. I also love that you can fully customize your sweetness and ice level, iced or hot, always a big plus. We tried variety of drinks between the 4 of us, and all of them were a hit and the service was great. You can tell why this place is so popular, it's always busy, especially on weekends. The interior is honestly one of the coolest parts. They have clouds on the ceiling, really unique artwork, and even a table with water flowing through it, which definitely deserves its own moment. The wooden stools and overall design make it such a fun place to hang out. There's also a lot of space inside. It's located in a strip mall, and while parking in Convoy can be tough in general, this lot is a bit better than most in the area. One super helpful tip - if the line is long, they usually have a sign outside where you can scan a QR code, order online, and have your drink ready by the time you get to the front. Such a smart system. Overall, such a fun, popular spot with great drinks and a really cool vibe. I'll definitely be back. read more

You'd expect this place to be phenomenal with the 5 star rating and over 3k reviews. Sadly, I don't think it's a five star boba place. As excited as I was to be there, I think the rating on Yelp really raised my expectations. When I went inside, the floors were sticky and the line reached outside the door. I didn't think that would mean much since I was here for the taste and boba consistency. We spent about 20 minutes in line, and when we got to the front, the cashier didn't greet us. He said "next guest" and just stared at me. I just stated my order and then he said "anything else" and when I gave him another order he also repeated "anything else". No smiles, no etiquette, no hint of emotion. I smiled and thanked him as I do. He should represent the establishment, instead he made it subpar. Our boba drinks came out after 5 minutes, to our surprise, and it was room temperature. I thought it was because the tea was fresh (?). We shook our drink, too, before putting in our straw. The tea was decent because you can actually taste the leaves, but the milk felt like a separate entity in my mouth. We had gotten the duck sh*t and the Dark Phoenix. My fiancé said he really liked the dark horse. My boba was good, but some pieces were hard and not chewy. Again, not what I thought this place would be. It's also a very packed parking lot. There's also plenty of study space and tables, if you can get one. Every table was full. It's unlikely that I will be back, but I'm glad I tried it while I was in the area. read more

Tried Yun again a few days ago and it was good! Tea flavor was back, not too watery, and boba texture was the perfect amount of chewyness. Line was out the door as usual and the shop was packed despite it being a Tuesday night. I will have to say it does make me a bit reluctant to come by often only because the drink quality isn't consistent and with the crowds, standing in that long line and getting a not 10/10 drink is not a vibe. I'll visit occasionally but it's not really my goto spot anymore because of the fluctuation. read more

Found out about this boba spot after my husband showed it to me. As soon as we stepped inside, I could smell the aromatic teas. It smelled delightful and there were even some perfumes on the wall available to smell. Aside from that though, I was more intrigued by the tea selection. The menu looked simple and straightforward. All drinks are fresh and made to order. The Peachy Princess oolong milk tea was smooth, fragrant, and refreshing, with the perfect mix of fruity and milky. It paired very well with the barley popping boba. The Dragon Well milk tea was also amazing, as it had a mellow, toasty flavor profile with notes of sweet roasted chestnuts, and fresh, grassy undertones. Their regular boba was soft and chewy to perfection. read more

Quite literally the best boba Ive ever had. We were in the area and had some free time so I decided to look for a new place to try. I was craving Boba and found this place highly rated. A quick glance at their menu and you'll see that they put a lot of effort into making unique flavors of their tea with authentically sourced ingredients. This isn't your run-of-the-mill chain milk tea place! The location itself is a good size and has tables where you can sit and do work or read a book. The staff I interacted with were helpful, and answered my questions about the menu. They didn't give the most welcoming vibe, but that's OK. The Jasmine milk tea is SO good. I don't live in the area, but I would absolutely make a special trip just to get it. The only reason I'm knocking a star off is because the bathrooms were in pretty rough shape. read more

Heard so many things about Yun Tea House that I had to come try for myself. I'm not the biggest Boba person but they had a Mango Sticky Rice drink that sounded amazing. Needless to say, it definitely was! I didn't add boba to my drink, but it honestly didn't need it as it had some other type of "rice boba" texture which complimented the drink very well. The inside is also very spacious, I saw a lot of people working or studying here. Service was also really good, only waited 5-10 minutes for drinks. Overall great experience, definitely one of the best dessert drinks I've ever had. Would I go again? Absolutely! read more

Drinks were just okay given the high overall rating and reviews of this place; honestly, very disappointed. We got the duck sht milk tea and dark phoenix milk tea, less ice and 100% sugar. Less ice was actually too little ice which is funny, and 100% sweetness was WAYYYYYYYY too sweet for both our drinks. Both drinks are supposed to be more deeper tea tones but honestly couldn't really taste the true "tea flavor" since the sweetness overpowered everything. I'm also from the 626, so ik what good tea is!! The drink covers were cool but that's about it. Service was about a 5-10 wait but parking in that plaza is horrendous. Inside is cool with places to study and nice decor. read more

This place is one of my faves in SD (alongside camellia). Strong tea base, good chewy boba, fast service, and gorgeous yet comfortable interior (I mean a stream running through the center of the table and cotton clouds?!) - Iron Goddess Fresh Tea $6.25: bright, floral, and yummy - Roasted Oolong $5.95: earthy, woody and yum - Hojicha Fresh Tea $5.95: nutty and roasted to the point that it's almost chocolatey but somehow stays true to hojicha - Dragon Well Fresh Tea $5.95: Toasted chestnutty All drinks are SO approved too, and he's typically anti-floral. Even at 50% sweetness, the tea base really shines. There's a lil auntie that works in the kitchen handling the boba and there's something about that that makes this place even more authentic lol Checks off all the boxes imo :,) Other stand out factors include readily available samples for what seems like all their drinks, included foam (matcha, cheese, coconut, etc) options, less boba for 0.35, and ordering online to skip the line. So far we've liked all drinks and we'll prob come here every time we're in the area!! read more

Walking into Yun Tea House, I steeped in happiness! These teas are seriously high grade. I love that they let you sample before committing, and you can tweak sweetness and ice like a true tea scientist. Heads up, the digital screens are not always updated. Pudding is not listed as a topping, but it exists and it is silky and delicious. My go to is the roasted oolong, formerly the Yun Roast. Half oolong, half hojicha, toasty, nutty, and smooth without being bitter. I get it half sweet and light ice and it hits every time. Friends swear by the mango sticky rice drink & honestly, it's not too sweet & I can inhale it hella quick because it's just thaaaat yummy! The only miss for me is the ZzZ drink. It tasted like cough syrup and betrayal. (Sorry if I yucked your yum!) Lines are out the door which says a lot. Decor is adorable with hanging clouds and a mesmerizing table with a little running river through it that had my daughter fully entertained. If you look up you might spot a little dust on the clouds, but honestly I was too busy enjoying my drink to care. This place really knows how to spill the tea! read more

Yun Tea House - Roasted Oolong - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Oop this is a long overdue review I should've done 3 years ago when they first opened. I should've start off by mentioning that I've been a frequent visitor since their soft opening. From the very beginning, the experience has been pretty straight forward and customer service has been polite. Nowadays, it's pretty crowded when I come and I miss it a bit when it was empty but it's a wonderful third space. They have plenty of seating and it's a productive space to get work done. I know it's been called the Orobae dupe but I'd say that it's better than the late Orobae. I enjoy their tea selection a lot more and the variety they have on the menu. However, Orobae did have better boba and their consistency maintained better. Sad to mention, but I wouldn't reccomend the boba here. My personal favs are the Duck Sh*t and Monkey King milk tea at 25%-50% sweet. I do miss a couple drinks, I noticed they have gotten rid of BUT I also look forward to their additions as well. Drinks aside, I will say the bathroom can get quite dirty and toilet paper is missing often. Ah! They don't provide toilet liners so if you're a bit of a germaphobe I reccomend you bring disposable ones. read more

Was recommended this boba shop through social media and my wife and we took a visit during our SD trip. First impressions is that it's a unique shop. They have fragrance on display which created a very pleasant vibe quite like their name 云. Parking - Free in a large parking lot, very spacious. Their menu is quite extensive, plenty of drinks but not too overwhelming. Some of the drinks names are fun and unique which gives you lots of curiosity to choose from. My wife and I decided on Peachy Princess and Dragon Well. Both had perfect sweetness with adjustments, it was super refreshing and smooth. The fragrance of both drinks made the experience even better. Pretty unique taste that's hard to find elsewhere. Best part is that we didn't have to wait that long for the drinks. The decorations are very much picture worthy alongside the drinks, including a water fountain type table thats accessible for others to sit by. Many come here to do work or hangout, very much a worthy spot for one of my favorite boba spots, excited to visit again. read more

Maybe something was wrong with my tastebuds? With so many reviews and 5 STARS, I thought the tea would be outta this world or something. We got the mango sticky rice and the Dragon well. The mango sticky rice had so much sticky rice in it. It was a bit tough to drink. Also, it was more like a smoothie/dessert so gotta use like extra strength to drink it. They prob should have offered a spoon lol The dragon well was disappointing. It tasted like water with some kind of cane sugar. The tea itself was a cloudy clear color. I wasn't expecting that, but I am aware that some teas can be clear. The problem was the flavor of tea was close to nonexistent. It was very light... maybe we should have ordered something else. Milk drinks seemed popular. The setting and the cups were beautiful. Service was ok. Not the brightest, but somewhat friendly. They offered tea fragrances for about $25 each. We wanted to purchase some, but the staff told us that we will have to get in line all over again after testing it out. One register...line was pretty long so we decided not to buy it. I gotta say...they are very efficient with the drinks. After ordering, the drinks were done in like 5-7 minutes. Maybe that was the reason why the drinks sukz lol Overall, I don't think I will return...one time was good enough lol read more
