GuilTea Cravings

The macaroon, cookie and balinese i bought were delicious. The Uber cookie was soft like a moist ube sugar cookie. The Cookie Monster Macaroon tasted great it had an oreo inside with dubai chocolate style pistachio with chocolate.

I ordered an avocado bagel a drink and cheesecake. The drink came with no lid spilling over the side and then they advised me they only had hard avacados. So I decided just to do a cream cheese bagle instead. We'll I was not expecting there to be barely any cream cheese and the seasoning that was added (like an everything bagle seasoning) was almost so thick I couldn't see what little cream cheese there was. Maybe it's because I went in right before closing but regardless I don't see why make someone's experience negative. The bagle is so salty I honestly can not eat it and I like salt. I'm bummed because I go in often to get their cheesecake...I looked at the pics on Here and the avocado bagle barely has any seasoning sprinkled on it. So I kinda feel this was dona maliciously because mine has so much. i was also never offered the $1 difference from them not having the avocado. Not that's it's a big deal but just shows the lack of any care or concern for a customer.. and please if I'm wrong and that's how the bagle is supposed to be then I apologize sincerity. I took a bite and it was like I took a big pinch of salt and stick it in my mouth and the whole bagle is like that on both sides....we'll sorry for coming in at.9:40pm I learned my.lesson.

Cute little place Has so many nice offerings, was hard to choose! Staff was friendly The Tiki tea was our favorite Also tried the watermelon slush, although it didn't come out as advertised in picture, still good taste

Open in the morning! What a delight. Also yummy fried tofu and fries. It's a familiar flavoring that you usually get with Taiwanese cafe food 👍 can get 25% minimum for the boba tea, but there are a few drinks that you can get 0% sweet. Cute drinks! Also lots of variety on the menu and a nice 2/$5 spam musubi deal. I work remotely here with my friend sometimes-they have outlets and big tables

I love this place, i always get the Vietnamese coffee with ube, and its so good. The spam masubis and macarons are really good as well. Overall, a great place for drinks and dessert. The only thing I will say is that the bathrooms are ok to use but could be more cleaner

Cozy little bubble tea and cookie shop. They had lots of different cheesecake that looked very fresh. Bubble teas and cookies were good. Decent amount of seating inside. They also had a great menu of hot food as well.

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!

The snacks and food here are really delicious. I particularly like their Keto Lemon Cookies. The drinks are fine, but having products for those on keto is the main draw. It is located near a lot of other tempting food places.

Stopped by a little late night with my friend and grabbed a macaron as well as a cookie. I got many recommendations (Blueberry Cheesecake I think, Fruity Pebbles, etc.) from my friend, but decided to try my all time favorite-- Salted Caramel. It was good after waiting several moments. And I liked the size, it was quite big in comparison to where I normally get macarons from (Le Parfait Paris). They bake the macarons and cookies in house which is pretty cool. I grabbed the Powdered Ube Cookie. It was dusted with powdered sugar with a strong and rich ube flavor. It was good, a little crumbly, soft. They had a large menu of not just drinks, but food as well, and much more. They even have keto options available. The worker was very sweet and helpful, regarding the items they had. I recommend stopping by!

Guiltea Cravings is one of the older boba tea shops in the SD area having been around for nearly 10 years. The business is located in the Madison Place of Clairemont just west of I-805. There is always plenty of open parking spaces in the plaza lot. About five tables with bench style seating were available inside. Shelves with books and games provided entertainment if you wanted to hang around and pass time. Macarons, bubble tea, and coffee were the featured items on the business sign hanging above the suite on the marquee. Appetizers, banh mi sandwiches, bao buns, and garlic noodles were the savory offerings to complement the sweet drinks and desserts. It was eerily quiet during my mid-afternoon visit with just one person (possible employee?) seated at a table. Maybe the customer traffic picks up in the evening. There were six types of fruit teas listed. I chose the True Passion Tea that was made up of passion fruit, green tea, and popping boba. Since a topping was already included, I didn't request another one. To my surprise, the drink was sweeter than I anticipated which was unusual. The popping boba provided some texture, but I would have preferred ordinary brown sugar pearls instead. The price and quality of the tea were average which led to my three star rating for Guiltea Cravings.

We have been coming here for years. The menu continually changes. Thankfully the macrons have remained. They have a good amount of flavors and come out with seasonal flavors. I like the birthday cake, ube and cookies and creme. Regular macron cost $2.25 per piece if you buy 5, 10, 15, or 20 there is extra discount. They also come out with adorable character macarons that cost a bit more. The shell has a nice outside crisp and chewy texture. The flavored ganache has a good amount. other desserts that I like: cookies (chocolate chip, cookie n cream) cheesecake Keto Items I have liked: Keto Chaffle- cheese, egg, almond flour $5 Keto Mocha Coffee **One of our top favorite places to get a spam musubi in San Diego!!** We are originally from Hawaii and the largest consumers of Spam (next to Guam). My kids could eat a spam musubi morn, noon and night. 1 for $4 2 for $5 C'mon get 2! It's a Double Spam Musubi It has a splash of sauce, decent amount of rice, with a spam on top and the bottom wrapped with seaweed and sprinkled with furikake. Favorite Drinks: - Matcha Frappe. I ask to blend it with Oreo and add boba - Strawberry Matcha My kids like the board games that they have. They have 5 booths. A bench outside and several chairs facing the front. I have come in to do work. Service is usually good. They have been great explaining things to me when I want to try something new. Parking: private Free parking Military Discount: 10% This will remain our family go to place. Good service, yummy desserts, and it has a nice environment to hang out.

OH MY GOODNESS! I never knew I needed sea salt of all ingredients in my boba tea! I ordered the sea salt coffee boba tea and it did not disappoint! The menu also offers keto options too which I definitely want to try. I cannot wait to come back here, this will definitely be my new favorite weekly tea spot. Cheers!

This cute spot has so many options to choose from- I try something new every time. The staff is friendly & service is quick. I opt for the character macarons- they're so cute! Also love that they're open until 10pm, convenient for the nights I need a little sweet treat.

So good here. They have keto options. You can customize your choices in foods and drinks. Very friendly and fast service. Clean seating area.

Can't go wrong with the 5.50 16 ounce egg coffee or ube coffee here. At this price point, these drinks from Guiltea Cravings can't be beat in San Diego. The egg and ube coffee at some other cafes in San Diego are stronger and more fragrant but they also charge 7 dollars plus for a cup that is loaded with too much ice as well. I was surprised that Guiltea Cravings did not load up their drinks with ice to trick customers so their drinks have tons more value especially at the 5.50 price. This drink and snack shop is also centrally located with tons of parking. Totally would head back for their value priced coffee.

They have an assortment of drinks, snacks, and food. But I like their Baos the most! The staff there is really sweet as well. Trying their pandan milk tea with ube cream

Holy awesome macarons. Service was awkward as we were ignored as the only patrons, so we ordered at a kiosk. Might of tipped but since no help we chose not too. The macarons were so delish. Lemon, pistachio, butter pecan, Dubai chocolate, we have a few more left. All pretty awesome. Will probably buy a bunch for a potluck next time.

A tiny shop off Clairemont with great customer service, a good ambience, aesthetic, and great Vietnamese coffee! I haven't had anything else from here yet, but I would definitely stop by if you're in need of a cup of coffee :)

Haven't been here in years. I decided to order from DoorDash for pickup and take advantage of their BOGO deals. I tried their Ube coffee, Thai tea, and Banana Pudding. Ube Coffee was actually perfect at 50% sweet. The taste was good, but the caffeine level was low and it didn't do much for me. The Thai tea, which I also ordered 50% sweet, per other Yelper's suggestion, was very bland. The Thai tea should be at 75% or 100% sweet. The banana pudding was good, though a tad too sweet. Nothing really blew me away, but it wasn't bad. They have a variety of snacks, drinks, and dessert options. I'll probably come back to try more of their sweet deals.

ADORABLE shop I spotted whilst hubs was comic book shopping at ComicKaze. Grabbed a yummy Hokkaido Tea with boba and 4 macarons as a hostess gift. I received a free - DELICIOUS! - ube cookie from the very nice and friendly barista working there when I told her I was updating Yelp photos and a review. Plenty of seating and a free little library to check out. Will def be back when in the area again. Cheers! "CC"

We got the hibiscus strawberry tea, pandan milk tea, and two macarons (blueberry and ube). I got my drink at 50% sweetness with less ice (my usual go-to combination). It was not too sweet, which was nice, but it also wasn't that flavorful. I was excited for this drink because it had matcha, taro, and coconut, but I honestly could not pick out any of those individual flavors. My husband's hibiscus strawberry tea didn't come with popping boba when the menu indicated that it did. The drinks are also so tiny and i didn't think it was a good value for the size and quality. The blueberry macaron was quite nice. The macarons are $2.25 each, which is pricy but I think also pretty standard these days. This cafe has a very robust menu-- they seem to have everything from banana pudding, macarons, egg rolls, teas, cakes, popcorn chicken...etc. I have not tried most of the menu items so who knows, it could all be really good, but I wasn't too impressed with the TEA which I feel like a cafe should excel at! The service was nice. Seating was a little weird...it's cute, but also very narrow with little room between the table and the bench. It's a nice little cafe atmosphere-wise, though. But it fell short of my boba standards.

From the very first bite, I was completely enamored--the tofu, delicately crisp on the outside and irresistibly tender within, was a culinary revelation. Its flavor was nuanced and beautifully balanced, infused with aromatic spices that hinted at both tradition and innovation. Each piece seemed to melt in the mouth, delivering an umami-rich depth that lingered long after the bite had passed. It wasn't merely delicious--it was a testament to the chef's mastery of texture, seasoning, and presentation. I found myself savoring each morsel with growing admiration, captivated by the harmony of ingredients that transformed a humble soy-based ingredient into something extraordinary. And then, of course, there is Dubai--the city that doesn't simply exist, but dazzles, astounds, and imprints itself onto your memory with every golden sunset and shimmering skyline. To say that Dubai is "so Dubai" is to acknowledge that it transcends description. It is an experience of contrasts and wonders: ancient traditions nestled within futuristic architecture, serene deserts giving way to lush, man-made oases, and a culture that embraces both heritage and global modernity with stunning ease. It is at once extravagantly luxurious and deeply soulful, a place where every detail feels curated for awe. Being here feels like standing at the crossroads of possibility--where the present is spectacular and the future seems already realized. The tofu, the ambiance, the entire experience--it all comes together as an unforgettable sensory journey that lingers long after the moment has passed. (yes i used chatgpt bc it was that yummy)

Taste could drastically improve. The thickness and tastes was dangerously close to peptobismol. I came in around 11a and it was dead, so i would think the quality would've been undivided not to mess up one cup. If that is truly how their strawberry milk tea is suppose to taste, then I'm turned off to the idea of coming back or trying anything else. Service was fine, no one was rude and i got my order in a timely manner, and the atmosphere looked pretty nice. I just wish the flavor had matched

Found this gem on my way home from a prenatal appt and I only wish it was closer to where I live! But I'll be stopping here a lot over the course of my pregnancy haha. Their classic milk tea with boba is one of the best I've ever had. I love a good milk tea and I could tell they use a really high quality tea to make theirs because the flavor was really nice a bold, like tea with milk vs a lot of other boba places that just use some sort of flavored syrups. They also had yummy spam musubi and cookies! And all very reasonably priced. Will be back!

Randomly found this place while hunting for something to satisfy a craving and I'm so happy and excited to find that they have keto options! The keto Thai tea is on point! So glad to discover this place.

It looks like this place is mostly known for its coffee and desserts, however I tried the food, and it was subpar to say the least... The only item that was palatable was the Spam Musubi. It was seasoned well on one side and tasted very good. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there... As a Bahn Mi connoisseur, I must say that the ingredients were not quite the freshest nor the most flavorful. It was as dry as a bone, as there was practically no spread. Also, they do not carry hoisin sauce, as requested. The Bao did not come with any beef option either. Therefore, I tried the lemongrass chicken, and it was absolutely unpalatable. I couldn't even eat it, unfortunately... Therefore, it went to waste. This is a creative twist on Bao in that it is more of a Bao taco. It could have worked beautifully, if there was more attention placed on the actual taste of this dish. The Rice & Egg Bowl was a very disappointing coup de gras to the meal. To make things worse, the egg rolls were either freezer burned or fried way too much, because the surface was scarred and dry. Furthermore, there was no attempt at putting any garnishing on top of the dish. Not even a few chopped chives... For $15, I could have made this dish for less than $5 at home, and it would have tasted better. This is where I draw the line, because we work hard for our money, and we expect quality and value. Hopefully, the management will take these comments into consideration in order to improve their food offerings, so that they can succeed as a triple threat in their Vietnamese offerings!

I love this place, I've been coming for years! All of the drinks are delicious, you can't go wrong with any! Plus all of their desserts are amazing! The service is always quick and everyone is so nice! The ambiance is always pretty chill and the music always puts you in a good mood!

I love GuilTea Cravings! I have been here a handful of times and their drinks are always amazing! They have such a variety of options to choose from on the menu and the service is always fast. I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes boba!

It was our first stop at this place. Very warm atmosphere, welcoming stuff. Ordered latte with oatmilk. There were variety of sweeteners, which is important for me. We enjoyed our lattes. Spend 20 minutes there, music was playing on the background. Great experience. Thank you for this nice and friendly place!

I liked this place! Vietnamese coffee - this is what I had and it's good for me because it was espresso and just coffee. Dark roast coffee brew in a metal Vietnamese drip filter, condensed milk, cream, and top with in-house sea salt cream. Avocado Smoothie - Ok! My mom used to make these for me when I was little, so when I found this I was totally excited! It was good - can't have that much since it's very rich & full of calories. A delicious, creamy and somewhat healthy smoothie make with fresh avocado and condensed milk. Top with house-made whipped cream. Keto Basque Burnt Cheesecake (GF) - This is on odd twist on cheesecake, but I liked it. Wasn't my favorite but it's ok. Cream cheese, heavy cream, eggs, Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener, and rice flour. VN shrimp & seafood toast - I actually liked this a-lot, you get two pieces which just enough! This baked shrimp toast features rich and creamy shrimp mixture on top of crispy toast

Im pretty impressed by the quality here. The Ube Vietnamese coffee was pretty good and the banana pudding was good as well. The lady upfront helped me out and the customer that was there was also helpful. The place is in an older part of town but if your on this side stop by. The inside is pretty modern. I didn't give it 5 stars just because I haven't tried all of the stuff they have there.

I love this place!!! I drive from Oceanside just to come here It's that good I love the macarons And good customer service they're really helpful Always clean Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a boba or macaron place so many options

If I could rate 0 I would, customer service sucks. The girl who attended me (wearing glasses) was super rude and clearly has zero customer service skills. My iced drink was made hot, after I had clarified it would be iced, she said yes. Then mocks me and puts ice but it's not chilled but lukewarm warm now. Never going here again. Thanks for the great first experience

You know a place is good when you've paid the premium in Postmates fees to have it ordered 5x !! But today, I finally visited in person --and I can confidently add exceptional customer service to my list of reasons to love this place High-Level Highlights (Why It's so good): * Quality Ingredients: This especially noticeable in their baked goods!! * Unique Menu Items: From a variety of options like mozzarella sticks (a personal favorite) to unique flavors such as strawberry cheesecake macaroon, & items for every meal (incl. a dinner menu)--it's all so so good * Open Late: This gem stays open until 10pm, which is rare for places offering boba drinks or baked goods. *Reasonable Prices: For the high quality of the food, the prices are amazingly fair especially compared to places in downtown San Diego. Here are some of my favorites: Drinks: Salted Coffee: A must-try for those who appreciate their coffee strong yet flavorful!! It's pure black coffee topped with a layer of their insanely good sea salt cream! That sweet and salty combo is Ube Coffee: I've guiltily ordered this THREE times and started asking for no ice to savor more of it. It's a small fee but so worth it! This is a Vietnamese coffee but with their sinfully good sea salt cream-- it's pretty flavorful and def. a calorie splurge, which is why the salted coffee has recently become my new go-to! Desserts: Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie: Quite possibly the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had . I'm not sure what brown butter does, but you can taste its rich difference with every fluffy, chocolatey bite. It's crazy, I'll actually eat these over a series of days and it served as my afternoon pick-me up. Cookies and Cream Macaroon Ice Cream: When I first tried this, my mind was blown --it was that good! The macaroon was incredible, and so was the quality of the ice cream! I love when places double down and you get good ingredients across the board I highly recommend trying this place, I mean I just spent 15+ minutes crafting this review so yeahhhh it's THAT good !!!

Amazing customer service and quality of food. My go-to place for Vietnamese Coffee in Clairemont!

Yummy and good service. Recommend for families. All different options on cravings. Drinks and macarons. Very clean

Good mix of drinks available. Really friendly service. But what stands out are all the cookies and desserts, including some really unusual macarons. Hot cheese Cheeto?!

This is a staple whenever we come to San Diego! This time we got house milk tea, taro milk tea, and the ube cheese cake :) The cake was SOOOO good, highly recommended!! Would def love to try the other flavors next time.

Tried the Dirty Milk Boba (75% sweet)--light coffee flavor, not too sweet, and the coffee jelly was a nice touch. The Ube Cookie was moist and cake-like with a great ube flavor, while the Pumpkin Cookie had a subtle pumpkin taste, rich caramel, and perfectly baked texture. The Ube Salt Cream Matcha Latte (50% sweet) had strong ube flavor, light matcha, and chewy boba. Delicious drinks and desserts!

A unique offering here. I appreciate the vietnamese coffee here and the traditional phin. Desserts were pretty good too.

Fun environment with great drinks. I love the pandas milk tea and basque cheesecake here. Service is always great.

Came back this time for my fave taro frapp ($7 for large). It was smooth and refreshing; therefore, I drank it quickly, and I forgot to take a pic. Anyway, I had to order the basque tiramisu cheesecake ($6) because I'm a fan of each dessert, and this is a hit. Legit tiramisu flavors and textures combined with the smooth cheesecake filing, 8/10 rating. The sweetness was also satisfying, unlike their original/plain basque cheesecake that I've had previously. Service is always efficient and friendly here.

The Saigon coffee is amazing! Spam musubi is a generous size and it was delicious. My kids ordered fruit smoothies and they were saying how much they liked it. Bagels were toasted to perfection! The sweet girl at the front was helpful and showed us how to make a certain selection on their ordering screen. Cute little spot with amazing coffee!

Amazing cookies, only thing Is after school it can get a little busy with the high school kids

I'm hoping this feedback is taken into consideration. I purchased some macarons as well as ice cream macarons today. The ice cream ones were delicious, but unfortunately the regular ones were very dry and crunchy and the cream was hard and dried out. It felt as if it was left out for days and I'm not accusing, but it makes you wonder how they got so dry and hard to the point of the cream drying out. It was unfortunate to have to replace the hard ones with the only flavor that was soft which my daughter unfortunately didn't like. Another thing that was unsettling to me was the spam musubi that you can purchase is left out on the counter on a tray for customers to grab from after they pay. It leaves room for bacteria and potential food poisoning. Especially rice. I'm pretty sure most places cook those to order. I just wanted to give feedback regarding these issues.

The cookies are sooooo good!!! I was amazed at the quality, this was outstanding. Satisfyied my cravings !!

Service was SO NICE. unfortunately, I wish she had more help it was such a busy day for just one worker! Pandan milk tea: has taro, pandan, coconut, matcha, among other flavors. I think it's okay, and the price is quite reasonable for ~$5.50. Brown sugar boba is flavorless and not very good. This drink is just too creamy and thick for me, but if that's what you like, then go for it! Mozzarella sticks are great! The decor here is really nice, and it gives the place such a nature-y yet fun vibe.

Jasmine gave exceptional customer service. The ambiance is nice, clean, good music. We tried the chai tea boba and the coffee blossom, they were delicious. We got to Cookie Monster macaroons that our kids absolutely loved! They are a little on the pricey side but overall delicious. Definitely gave it 5 stars for the awesome customer service.

Great service and good is so good the pop corn chicken and fries box is my favorite with Cajun seasoning

I am a really big fan of their Vietnamese coffee! It was mildly sweet and creamy with the strong coffee flavor as well, but it wasn't too overwhelming. Their Thai tea was also sweet and delicious.

They have yummy macarons (good size, chewy) and boba!! Popping boba is delish and the staff is nice :) Would definitely recommend this spot if you have a sweet tooth~

Delish drinks, good portion size for price, Ube cheesecake is TO DIE FOR. I have come back several times just for the cheesecake. It is so rich and creamy, I have Guiltea cravings all the time now haha

Keto options! Love this place as many desserts shop do not offer any keto options. Event the drinks have keto options.

Be careful when you order macaron ice cream! The photo on the menu is full size but they provide scoop ice cream with regular macarons. They gave us two macarons ice creams but they are smaller and macarons are very hard like crackers. We are so disappointed.

The vietnamese coffee is really good i like it a lot! Macaroons are really good as well. The server was very nice to us we would come back again soon!

The best in town by far and always consistent. Macaroons are delicious and the Vietnamese coffee always keeps me going.

Good ambience! And the service is good and fast as well! Would recommend going here to study or have lunch. Good servings especially the macaroons:)
