I came here about 2 days ago and I loved this place since I found out they had a location in San Diego but I had a very bad experience with a young female employee. I went in to get drinks for me and my husband and he asked if I could order his drink without the cheese foam. He wanted the Spyxfamily collab drink thorn princess’s berry frappe and I told the girl who placed the order If she could do the drink without the cheese foam and she took my order with no issues. When I received the drinks his had cheese foam. This is the 2nd occasion this employee gets my order wrong. My issue wasn’t that the order was wrong it was the fact that when I told her she had an attitude and told me that I can’t modify the drink because it’s part of the collab and that’s how it has to be made after she didn’t say anything when I had initially requested it the way I did. She refused to remake the drink and simply scooped out the foam (obviously still had some left) and I felt embarrassed so I left. I just can’t believe that she decided to argue about it, my husband called them upset but apparently she was alone and had no manager/supervisor for the day.

Okay so I’ve had A LOT of boba in my life and this one is the best. The boba is warm and fresh, perfectly chewy. Oat and soy milk options are nice too! I got the ube taro and it is seriously amazing. I’ll only be coming here for boba in San Diego from now on❤️

Not sure why do you have to charge 3% for using credit card, its bad business.

They are true boba artisans here, fresh boba every 3 hours, brown sugar crafted to perfection, only had better boba in one other spot in Anaheim almost 2 hrs away. That’s said check it out!

My favorite boba joint in this area, but it takes way too long to make the drinks.
