50 Best Bubble Tea near Poway

“Rose matcha is the best in my opinion!“

“So happy to have Ding Tea in Poway 🧋 ♥️“

“I absolutely love this tea spot. The atmosphere here is full of life and inviting and the customers service here is amazing. Now let’s talk about the matcha — WOWWW!! It’s seriously amazing! Rich, smooth, perfectly balanced… you can tell they use high-quality matcha and take real care in preparing it. It’s easily one of the best I’ve ever had, and I find myself craving it constantly.

One of the coolest things about this place is that they switch out their tea flavors every month, which keeps things exciting and fresh. It’s always a treat to come in and see what new seasonal or creative blends they’ve come up with. I love that they’re always experimenting and keeping their menu dynamic.

If you’re a tea lover (or even just tea-curious), do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won’t regret it! ☺️🧋💖🍵“

“Delicious ice cream milk tea. Inside looks nice. Lots of parking.“

“love this place, bobas. cakes, everything“

“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!“

“I love their gyokuro sencha!! It is my go-to every time I come down to Convoy. The staff is always so friendly and helpful, and they're pretty fast with making drinks. I was kind of shocked to see another boba store open right next to them, so I try to support them as much as I can 😅“

“This place is great in my opinion, both generally and it’s a nice go-to spot for me when it comes to treating myself or going here to study. The service here is great too, alongside the variety of drinks even though I always get the same thing there, but even then the variety here is great. Sometimes I’ll ask my parents if they want something and they always manage to make a “mini-list” of what they would drink in case they want something. Overall, I absolutely love this spot and would absolutely walk here any chance I get to, the walk is worth it. ^_^“

“I visit this store regularly because their yogurt is always in high quality. I’m especially a fan of the Hawthorne flavor. It’s delicious! The service is always excellent as well. Staffs are friendly and happy to answer any questions you have.“

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

“Found Yipbee Boba on yelp!

I ordered my usual drink every boba shop I go to:
-passion fruit green tea, boba included for $6.05

Pricing was more normal than other places haha...boba was cooked well. Tea flavor could definitely be a bit stronger.

There is some seating inside.

Easy parking in the plaza.“

“On my way to Marshalls, I stopped by this locations which had an extensive menu. Initially, I considered the mango pineapple tea, but since it was afternoon and I wanted to avoid caffeine, I opted for the caffeine-free sparkling strawberry lime tea instead. The staff member was helpful in confirming caffeine or not, and the order was prepared quickly. While the tea tasted good, I found the strawberry purée a bit heavy, as I prefer smoother teas without pulp. Next time, I'll choose a tea without purée. Overall, I would recommend this refreshing option.“

“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!!“

“I absolutely love this place, the drinks are fantastic, cheap and large, the chicken is phenomenal as well! I'd recommend this place to everyone WITHOUT hesitation. I've been here a handful of times and only once did they mess up my drink order. The only complaint I have is just that, tonight on 2/18 I ordered a tigers milk tea with honey Boba and it's a travesty but they forgot to add the creme brulee pieces which is too bad because it's not even close to as good trading without those pieces, it changes the texture of the drink and most importantly without those pieces it completely changes the flavor of the drink. It is still good just not the same.“

“Very kind cashier and was very helpful with answering my questions! I have only tried one drink so far— the assam—but it was very yummy. It is not as sweet as other boba places but I don’t mind it that much! The boba is delicious itself which is nice. Definitely have to try more drinks here!“

“DaYung is in the corner of a strip mall, and the parking is really tight. If you can't find any in the lot, you can try for free street parking. The inside is also tight, not much space to wait. There are a couple benches only, no tables.

I made a trip to five different boba shops on Convoy to rank their "boba milk tea". I tried to get the closest to black tea if they had more than one option. I chose 100% sweetness and no ice (to eliminate dilution). Here are my ratings:

1 Camellia: boba milk tea, regular milk $6.38
2 Chakaa: ruby milk tea w brown sugar boba, regular milk $5.75
3 Tan-Cha: celon milk tea w caramel boba, non-dairy milk $7.25
4 Yun Tea House: Monkey King w boba, lactose-free house milk $7.28
5 DaYung: boba milk tea, non-dairy creamer $5.88

[Caveat: I think DaYung made a mistake on the order because it had some ice in the drink when I picked it up. When I tasted it at home, it tasted watered down and completely bland, like there was no sugar. So I think instead of 100% sugar and 0% ice, they gave me 0% sugar and 100% ice.]

My friend called them to let them know of the mistake, and the manager offered to refund the money. That was incredibly nice of them to do so.

In terms of the actual boba balls, DaYung's ranked #4. It was too mushy. There was no chewiness. That's too bad because I remember liking their boba.

They still have week day promos. The current one for every day is anything strawberry.

“I come here almost daily because I am obsessed with their match Tres leches with matcha boba and egg pudding. It's a combination that lives in my taste buds memory. like the marriage between a matcha frappe with flan. At the family table came boba and a snow cap that easily translates to tantalizing flavors jumping for joy! Then the Bahn mi is packed with the perfect ratio of meat, picked carrots, cucumber, and JALAPEÑOS!!! I love a jalapeño that delivers and these always hit the mark. The fact that the ingredients are fresh and natural are major brownie points.“

“fun atmosphere great Boba and teas“

“We tried their new coffees flavors , and we love them all ?⭐️( Japanese burned coffee frappe, coconut coffee & Vietnamese egg coffee) they go well with crystal boba or coffee jelly toppings along with sea foam ?? will definitely come back for more ?“

“5 🌟 all the way!! delish. The young lady suggested the waffle and she was in point! OMG! The Princess Peach very refreshing. I drank it too fast so I may have to order another to go! it was just that good“

“both their milk teas and fruit teas are fantastic, perhaps my fav in all of SD!!!came with someone, we ordered about 5 drinks and got it in just a few minscashiers were chill and informativelove the red bean milk tea and their orange based fruit teas“

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

“Gong cha review We had Gong Cha Boba at our wedding back in December and we loved it! We had brown sugar milk tea with boba and mango green tea with boba. Cannot rave enough about them! Love their boba and our guests did too! They provided such great customer service from planning to day of service! Diana, the owner, was very patient with and promptly responded to all our inquiries. As a regular customer we get their strawberry taro milk tea, brown sugar milk tea, and regular milk tea. Always satisfies and fulfills our sweet tooth cravings!“

“My frappe is perfectly smooth with just 50% sugar, while my friend's Vietnamese coffee is strongly flavored, just the way she likes it. The drinks are delicious, and the service is great. We will definitely return for more drinks due to the weather these days!

Parking: There are plenty of parking in the front!

Kid-friendliness: The options is good for a kids!“

“Love the passion fruit tea with golden boba it's the best......“

“It is a nice place to try a variety of tea in various tastes : orange, pineapple, strawberry, and more. We liked the passion fruit beauty tea, which has a delicious taste. It was a bit expensive for the quantity served.Should have small servings, too.“

“I just so happen to StumbleUpon the Vivj bubble tea and I must say I absolutely love this place ��my tea was amazing... the decor tho ������������������whenever I’m back in San Diego I will be there!!“

“Don’t order with your eyes because you won’t finish… trust me, it’s that good! They have to have the “best” Viet BANH CUON (steamed rice rolls) in town! Also the best BANH Mi Chao (Beef, sausage, meatball, eggs, and French roll skillet) for a great value too! I will most definitely come back again …and I live 30 minutes away in East Chula Vista! I highly recommend. 5 STARS!!!“

“The Ube Cheesecake was absolutely delicious! First I thought maybe I was too hungry these morning so I ordered their Basque cheesecake for take away and it wasn`t mistake! It is so tasty with gentle texture and ideal cool temperature for serving! Highly recommended to try!“

“One of the best and cleanest China hot pot spot in the universe. Promise you won’t get the runs afterwards. Great food selection and a ton of soup base to choose from. Oh and they have the best selection of dipping sauce as well. Must try if you’re visiting the San Diego area. I drove nearly an hour and half in traffic for dinner.“

“So freaking delicious!!! I was killing time cruising the mall waiting for my kids to get of school after a hot round of disc golf at kit carson and their smoothies hit the spot!! I made 1 lap around the mall with their Taro pearl smoothie with lychee jelly and boba, as soon as I finished went straight back for a coconut smoothie with taro crystal and boba both amazing!“

“This place is our go-to spot for Pho. Sooooo good every time. And we’ve tried a bunch of different spots in San Diego. We come all the way from San Diego because the broth is amazing and the portions are unmatched. You gotta try it to see for yourself!“

“One of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. This place knows exactly what a sandwich is supposed to be. It's filled with all the veggies you expect and you pick the protein you desire. I'll tell you this much... anything you order is going to taste good. We had thai tea and mango drink as well as egg roll and sesame balls with bean curd. So good!!! It was so good i couldnt finish it... but i ate the rest later in the day.. JUST AS GOOD..“

“friendly staffs and so yummylecious“

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

“In love with this shaved ice! more than you can eat for a great price.“

“The drink I got, the papaya mango snowbubble, tasted very good. The boba also wasn’t bad. However, it was very noisy due to the music and background noise and I literally couldn’t hear what the cashier was saying about my order, and she couldn’t hear what I was saying either. My drink came without boba initially so I had to ask for that to be added. Thankfully, they were really nice even though I don’t think I paid for the boba lol

Parking: I came around 4:30 on a Saturday and the parking lot was basically full. The little mall this boba place in located was very busy.“

“You can create your own drink even if its not on the menu. Sweetness level is adjustable. Great place to study since they have WIFI.“

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

“Incredible menu and customer service! Absolutely delicious drinks!!!“

“Finning inside since its cold“

“My partner and I genuinely get Bopomofo minimum once a week ever since we first tried it. The bala matcha (guava matcha latte) is one of my fav drinks in existence. I really appreciate that they don’t charge extra for oat milk. Also love that they offer vegan food options - the vegetarian (it’s also vegan) popcorn chicken is super good. I hope they add a vegan sauce besides ketchup in the future. Orders can take some time to come out, but ordering online ahead of time always work best for me.

Their customer service is also 10/10. I ordered online from the Artesia location by mistake a few weeks ago. The manager on shift, Suh, promptly connected with the Artesia location to organize a refund for me. They also provided me with their direct contact info in case I had any issues with receiving the refund. I really appreciate the SD staff for still fulfilling my order 10min before close. Thank you to the closing staff on shift on 10/16/2024 :)“

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

“One of my favorite Boba Spots in Convoy.

Make sure you download the app to gain points because there are a few franchises in SD.
You can order ahead, as well as skip the line in store to get your bubble tea on.

Not sure what to get? Any of the top 10 boba drinks are delicious!! My personal favorite is the Pistachio!

It’s pretty small inside, but its instagrammable walls make you want to sit and chat with your friends. There are also food available if you’re hungry!

Vegetarian options: Ask. They have substitutions

Dietary restrictions: Ask. They have substitutions

Kid-friendliness: Something for everyone

Wheelchair accessibility: Ada parking up front and big space for ordering“

“Delicious..try the milk boba teas!“

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

“Been coming here for years since it originally opened.

Really good and refreshing drinks served with a smile.

Though parking can be difficult, it's worth the wait.

Classic milk tea with boba is my go to.

Never disappoints.

Be back soon.“

“This place has plenty of food and drinks to order from. It has screens to self order as well. I was treated a hot royal milk black/green tea, I ordered it unsweetened. It is amazing, I really enjoyed this milk tea and how hot it remained. I also was able to try the hot lavender milk tea unsweetened which was also very good. I am highly looking forward to trying more teas and the food from this place!“

“It’s in a supermarket food court, if you know what to order you’ll be pleasantly surprised, we had the scallion lamb and we ordered it a little bit spicy, they can customize their dishes to your taste!! Steamed shrimp dumplings were excellent!! We loved the stir fried string beans!! We’ll definitely be coming back!!“
