50 Best Bubble Tea near La Jolla

“Super stoked they finally opened up a boba place in this center. The place is located in a shared unit (same owner I think) as Crispy Burger. Nothing better than a double smashed burger, some salty fries and power that down with an Ice cold boba!“

“I got mango Smoothie with boba. I love it.“

“i stop by to get a snack here relatively often. fairly quick service + nice selection! even though they mainly do drinks, i actually typically get their food. one of the only spots on campus open later at night so it can be a LIFESAVER 😭😭 please keep it that way !! ton of students r awake and need something to eat at these times, i can’t believe other places on campus close so early“

“One of the few places that serve honest matcha. You can tell they use a high quality matcha from the vibrant green color and grassy taste. While a lot of places may add a little bit of matcha to a lot of milk, Camellia adds a little bit of milk to a lot of matcha. The tea really stands out here.“

“Great teas and bubble waffles! Staff is always cheerful and nice, fun atmosphere 😄“

“Check this place out, lots of great bubble tea options. I personally enjoy the jungle coffee and sea salt coffee flavors with boba or coffee jellies. Wife swears by the avocado smoothie with crystal boba. This is a hidden gem for sure! Support this exceptional business when you get the chance, you will be happy you did!“

“reminds me of Taiwan, specifically a typical cafe in Gaoxiong, which is the most comparable place to SD in the US. It's spacious, comfortable (cushion for butts without cushion), family-friendly, pet-friendly, games for kids, a piano: it's basically a day-care center. The decoration is very DIY and neat, which is what really gave me Taiwan vibes. Yellow lights (I don't know why other shops use bright white office lights..) They know how to decorate on a budget. Clean bathroom. Clearly a family business. The owners are from Guangdong, but theyre quite different from the city people. Maybe San Diego slowed them down.. If this is the vibe of SD, I'm def lovin' it!

drinks are pricey, $6+ with boba. Boba isn't free. Standard milk tea is solid, but even at 30% sweetness, it's quite sweet. Egg puff for $5 is cute.

only downside is the location is on a random busy street corner, and you might have to look for parking.“

“Pricey, but we keep coming back. Customer service is also sometimes excellent. Guy re-opened the store to make me my drink last night when he saw me forlornly outside, filled with visions of my disappointed wife, demanding to know why I don’t have her promised yogurt.“

“Awesome drinks🥤 ! A beautiful place to meet and enjoy gathering time with friends!“

“This shop is surprisingly really solid. The desserts are delicious, original, and super cute. All the drinks we’ve tried have been great, specifically the smoothies and sparkling sodas. They use real fruit so the drinks taste awesome. Will definitely be returning!!“

“love this place, bobas. cakes, everything“

“first off, going into the boba shop was the first of its kind! i never seen anything like their decor and i really appreciated the mid-century look. it brought a coziness to the place. the owner Vy, was happy enough to talk about her decoration style and where her inspiration came from. the drinks were also immaculate! i went to this place several times while i was in san diego and ordered several different drinks on the menu, none of them disappointed! im not usually a boba drinker either so i think that says a lot. if you’re ever in the area, you should get the lucy lou or the blessamee :) also, if you see a small dog roaming the grounds, her name is lucy and she’s an adorable little mascot you have to say hi to! overall the ambience, drinks and the staff were all super nice and accommodating!“

“There were two extremely patient and kind girls working the counter today and they made this place worth talking about. We are from Orlando, FL and we have been itching to find a good Boba spot for the last 4 days. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I already won the lottery. Their churro donut is phenomenal and light, but what really impressed me was when we went off menu and I asked for a taro coconut item. One of the girls said that she likes those two best when they are mixed together in a smoothie and...she did not disappoint. The taro coconut smoothie is better than anything I have tried in Orlando. In addition, I decided to try something new and asked for the pink coconut milk tea (essentially it was strawberry and coconut). Once again, I LOVED the drink. I hope I do come back to San Diego soon and bring family along with me because I loved the atmosphere, employees/customer service, and menu items.

I have a dairy allergy so these two drinks made me feel like there is no other place I would rather be.“

“I love their specialty drinks they currently have!! Even though they’ll be gone soon, I definitely think they’re worth the visit to get a drink at and they are always on point with making their drinks!!“

“The boba here is bomb!! It’s reasonably priced for the size you get and they offer different sweetness levels which is so nice! I’ve tried the roasted oolong and strawberry milk tea with boba and definitely recommend when in the area. The staff are also very friendly snd always do a good job with the drinks.“

“I loved 🥰 best place more more“

“Best Boba, the spring roll is delicious other snacks too, I like the service there as well. Strongly recommended to every one to try this location.“

“Excellent customer service. The person who made our tea, Lauren, accommodated for every customization and in a timely fashion. I didn’t expect that she would get the tea out so fast, especially during high traffic, but they came out perfect. Me and my friends loved it and plan on coming again soon.“

“It was my first time trying this place and I’m so glad I did. I got a Nutella cream coffee with boba and it was the best coffee boba I’ve tried so far. I loved that they had different coffee options. The lady that helped me out was really sweet as well. I also tried their Oreo cheesecake which was delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back again.“

“Ordered on the app, skipped the line, and pick up at my convenience time. Super easy and saved time!

Seasonal drink: rice oolong milk tea has a distinctive roasted rice taste with the oolong tea as the base. Adjust sugar and ice level to your preference to bring the toasted rice flavor out. I usually even ask for more tea and less tea.

My other favorite is the celyon milk tea. Bobas are cooked perfectly to the correct chewiness.

My frequent tea shop!“

“Every time I’m in SD, we get the best 🧋 flavored green teas 🍵 with boba. Plus they have a card stamping program. And gives military discount.“

“One of my favorite coffee shops! They always have great seasonal flavors, the food is delicious, and the space is consistently clean. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, too. I love coming here to work remotely—it’s a great atmosphere to get some work done while enjoying good coffee and food. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely DELICIOUS and highly recommend this place. This was my first time going here and I loved it“

“We really loved it, there was something on the menu for everyone(even the non sea food eater) Food was great, as well as prices. Best butter dips we had so far. We had, fired oyster basket, tenders basket, fried calamari, king crab boil bag, and then a snow crab boil bag.“

“Still love this place! OG TapX for me since I was in high school. I will drive from National city just to come here cus it’s remained consistently good. National city location by my place is the worst, their food is not the same. Ansil & Ashley helped me with my order when one of my food items didn’t come out correctly but Ansil made sure I was satisfied and gave me more than I thought. Very thoughtful!

“The banh mi sandwiches are always wonderful and a dollar or two more than a McDonalds burger. Grilled pork and pork belly sandwiches are all I’ve ever had here (in 20 visits). Some day I’ll branch out 😀“

“This place is so cute and you walk in and immediately smell the amazing mango and sticky rice. We got the mango sticky rice smoothie and it was to die for. It wasn’t too sweet. Perfectly balanced with delicious sticky rice. The mango is cut fresh. The staff was super friendly. Definitely coming back!!“

“i like boba latte with out tea its so yummy.“

“Hell Ya! Bobalicious is life! � Thai Tea with Boba all day every day. FiveStars �“

“Aloe vera passion fruit...“

“Nice Mall, food shops, i recommend.“

“Love ❤️ this place..I drive 25+ miles to go there but there the best in town..“

“Great tea place that specializes in cloud foam based tea drinks! Tasty! They are always extremely busy so there’s typically a 10 min wait. It’s tucked away next to Melo Melo.

Drinks were about $8. Got the pistachio cloud jasmine: super light, refreshing, and tea forward. Delicious!

Other popular drinks are the mango boom and the kale boost. Love those for a delicious treat on a hot day!“

“Tapioca Express is a great spot! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, the prices are very reasonable, and the drinks and food are even better. They have a huge selection with tons of options to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. I’ve always had a great experience here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good boba, food, and great service!“

“Beat boba milk tea. 😀😀😀😀“

“I come here once a week from El Cajon Ca. to buy the keto vietnamese iced coffee. It's so delicious and made perfect every time. Staff is very friendly and polite.
I just wish they would sell keto chocolate chip cookies☺“

“delicious food and friendly service! I love the soup!“

“吃台灣的平民美食，有回家的感覺。“

“Delicious..try the milk boba teas!“

“Stopped in for a quick grapefruit tea. They had a grapefruit slush so ordered that to try. I don't like my fruit teas too sweet and this was perfect. Fresh grapefruit too because there was a hint of bitterness.

Service was quick and friendly. The place was not busy on a Saturday afternoon.“

“Excellent boba and great service. We're so thankful to have this spot so close to our house and the service is always great. We love this place! The boba tea is super sweet though so we suggest going quarter or half sweet on drinks, even my 10YO agrees!“

“friendly staffs and so yummylecious“

“BOG, Wa Sai Watermelon, Strawberry Basil Ginger Lemonade!“

“The best boba drinks in all the city!!! The staff is super cool too!“

“Fried chicken was delicious and fried noodles.“

“Walked around the food court with all its amazing options and finally decided on some bao buns! Bao Bar had really good BBQ Bao, and we also got the shrimp spring rolls (which were MASSIVE) and the Shrimp and Chicken dumpling. We also got the iced lychee and wildberry teas - which hit the spot because it was HOT.“

“Friendly service... good for everyone’s and good taste drink. Love boba time drinks“

“I have to come here every week....because my wife is addicted to this boba shop...LOL“

“The spring rolls (Chicken & Shrimp) with peanut sauce were amazing, and the sandwich was absolutely delicious. The Thai tea was one of the best I’ve ever had! The restaurant was also very clean, which I always appreciate. I’ll definitely recommend this spot to family and friends.“
