We went here for years and I genuinely think there's no syrups in their tea. Lucus the owner is so awesome and honestly we already miss this place since we're moving houses. When we come back to visit family we're 100% coming back.

We were greeted as soon as we entered and asked if we had any questions. Owner was very friendly. We got a strawberry smoothie with strawberry popping Boba. Caffeine free drink but with the fun of Boba for my 7 year old.

Love this Boba spot. The staff is friendly and each drink is delicious. Love to go there for lunch or for a dessert.

Love TNL. One of my gotos in North County for boba. Always great boba drinks and they give you plenty for the price. Highly Recommend.

Gentleman was attentive when we arrived. I'm not sure if the area is under an upgrade, but as you go into the establishment, you will see boxes after boxes. We asked for drinks + boba. The matcha drink was just okay. The boba in our drinks was way too mushy, almost as if it was a few days old. Hardly any ice in the drinks. Also noticed both our drinks had a mix of boba and pearls ( which we did not ask for). It's not something we will crave again.

Always very impressed every time we come here! All ingredients are fresh, no powders. The owner is VERY friendly. Weâve received free cups for Christmas and won a free tumbler before! Definitely a must try!

This joint will make you addicted to boba. The owner has such a good sense of humor while still making sure your drinks are made correctly . From smoothies, to freshly squeezed juices and tea youâre gonna just crave this all the time . They are happy to adjust for ice and sweetness levels . You can even get your drink in a bucket ! Itâs all filled to the brim with fresh fruits .

Although this has high ratings, I couldnt bring myself to have a good experience at this place.
First off, the vibe inside the store is just weird. The entrance is limited to about 3 people inside max at once from covid which is fine, but I had to crank my neck up really high to look at the menu which really hurt. But the cashier who took my order was starring at me as if i was doing something wrong while looking at the menu.
Second, I tried asking about the size of the large cup and I pointed to a group of 5 different cup sizes and said, "Are those the large sizes?" (Knowing that they are different sizes and knowing she would have to look behind her to see what im pointing at) and she knodded and said, "mhmmm" - without even turning around? How could she say that when i pointed to 5 different sizes? So I thought okay maybe she cant understand my English very well so I instead said, "how big is the large?" - using my hands in the air to measure different heights. She said, "24 ounces".
So I ordered a large thai green tea with almond milk and lychee jelly and it came out perfect, so no complaints on the quality of the drink. I did ask for no ice and she told me that they can only fill it up 3/4 way if I dont put ice in it, I was sort of confused but I still said okay and didnt want to make a big deal about it. But when she finally brought out the large drink, it was in a completely different cup than the ones I pointed to. And it was so little drink that I drank my entire boba before I even drove out of the parking lot. So I went back home to test if it was actually 24 oz like she said. My sister got a regular size and I got the large "24 oz" and you see the photo of the scale and how that even without zeroing out the weight of the cup, the total fluid ounces is less than 24.
Not my first time going here either! Ive been a few times and each time the vibe is just so off I would rather go to Tapioca Express by Barnes and Noble.
EDIT 2 years later: this tea shop deleted my photo of the real weight of their "24 oz" cup which when filled to the top with water only came out to 18.5oz - however they kept my photo of their small "16oz" which had a true weight of 16oz. Instead of addressing this discrepancy they tried to cover up the truth and that is why I cannot rate them any higher. If there is anything I am getting wrong please tell me, if not dont sell drinks listed as "24 oz" and then give customers less than that.

If there were 10 stars I'd give it. My group of family and friends will go here often after church on Sundays. Sometimes there's 15 of us that come at once, we feel bad about crowding, but Lucas is so kind and chill, and very funny, and never makes us feel bad. Credits to the amazing mystery drinkmaker that you never see, but does the drinks so fast đ The drinks are always fantastic, several dairy free milks available if required. Staff and drinks are BOTH Totally Not Loser!! âđŒ
