Urban Bubble and Ssong’s Hot Dogs Pair Up in Kearny Mesa | Eater San Diego

"Opening in Kearny Mesa on Saturday, March 25, this new boba spot is the first joint venture between Lauren Thiemthat, Vanessa Barrios, and Bao Doan, who together bring a total of 12 years of boba-making experience; they import ingredients from Taiwan and plan to use basil seeds in drinks as an alternative to chia. I learned they can create up to 45 drinks and will rotate the menu, launching with favorites such as brown sugar boba milk, taro bubble with cheese foam, matcha lattes, milk teas, and fruit teas, and expanding in summer to a larger array of blended Greek yogurt drinks featuring fresh fruit like strawberries and mangoes. The contemporary, sleek space is decorated in soothing lavender hues with bubble-shaped lighting, occupying a corner storefront that looks out on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard and offering prime window "love seats" two-person cushioned tables as well as plenty of high-top seating at elongated, curved tabletops." - Helen I.
