Tan-Cha

Tan-Cha is one of our go-to spots in Convoy when the craving for boba hits. My usual go-to drinks are the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea or Matcha Drinks. The establishment itself is small, but it carries a cozy atmosphere with a few tables to accommodate smaller groups. The team is modest in size, doing their best to serve customers, but during busy periods, there might be a wait time. Having visited Tan-Cha multiple times, I've occasionally encountered longer wait times for the boba to be prepared. On some occasions, they've run out in the afternoon and couldn't make a new batch. Despite these hiccups, the team seems committed to providing a satisfying boba experience.

UPDATE Sep 27th 2020, - Avocado Cremio is a Genuis Drink. Wao wao wao. - Bubble Milk tea Creamio is a great mix up. - Orange Green tea Slush has a good taste but not deserve for that price • {Sep 17th 2020} ••• Best Cheese Foam I ever drink. -Vietnamese Business. 100%support💪 - Wait around 20 mins But Deserve it. - A lot of customers,taste so good. I'll be back.

At first when I stepped in to look above at the menu, I was a bit overwhelmed on what to order. Their menu is more on the special side with tiramisu foam, cheese foam, matcha foam. I just wanted a classic milk tea drink with no boba and clearly this is not your typical basic milk tea joint. I picked one of the 7 top seasonal drinks. The Uji Green Milk Tea with tiramisu #3. I wasn’t sure what it would taste like. I did 75% sweet and less ice. It came out perfect! It wasn’t so sweet and it was light but with strong tea flavor almost like matcha. Then when you stir the tiramisu foam, it just made it so creamy and changes the taste for the better.

Ordered the melon smoothie with boba and the matcha tea with tiramisu foam. The smoothie was okay, but for the price it was not a generous cup. The shop also doesn’t list any pricing, so you don’t know how expensive everything is till you go to pay, which for me is not okay. The foam drink did come with a cute shovel, but it’s confusing, should be be eating the foam as a dessert or mixing it with the drink?

You gotta try spot! Brulee Thai Tea, had it with Agar Boba in this pic, just amazing. This is now my goto spot now for drinks in Convoy. So many good options and combinations. Plus the strip mall here, so many amazing food choices, Chinese and Taiwanese Hotpot, Korean Bbq, Korean and Chinese food. Just simply an amazing strip mall. This cafe being here just made it my goto strip mall. They have alot more options too, didn't get a picture of the menu though.

I have tried just about every drink they have to offer. I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. There are other tea places similar that I have tried and none of them are as delicious and consistent as Tan-Cha. I can't wait to try their pancakes!

A modern boba tea shop with tasty options. The lemon Yakult drink (see picture) was tart, sweet, and satisfying. Prices are a bit expensive. Overall recommended.

Locals recommended this as one of the best bubble tea locations in the city's Asian neighborhood. We arrived around 8:30PM and just beat the rush! The bubble tea was great (brown sugar milk tea with boba mmmm), and the Japanese pancakes were an unexpected treat (be prepared for a 30 minute wait though on slow times).

You can order at the front or at the kiosk! There's only one cup size although I think it would be nice if they had a smaller size as well. The prices range from $~6-8+ I got the Brûlée Cream Thai Tea. I am not exactly sure what's brûlée about it as it tastes more like salty cream cheese. No burnt sugar taste. The Thai tea wasn't very prominent, this drink was more on the cream side. And I asked for less sweet and less ice. I got brown sugar boba as well and the boba wasn't bursting with that syrupy sweetness- it was quite plain in my opinion at least. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best drink I've had either. My cousin T, got the Lemon Yakult, No Sugar, less ice. This tasted like lemonade in a way...with a very prominent lemon zing to it. There was even a big chunk of lemon in it-- rind and all. She said it was refreshing and enjoyed the drink (but wished there was a smaller cup since half way through she got full). My other cousins ordered the #4, which is a creamio milk tea. I think that is a blended milk tea topped with vanilla ice cream and brown sugar boba. I think it was chocolate flavored or something but my cousin said it just tasted like vanilla. He emphasized it wasn't bad, it tasted sweet and delicious still! My uncle got the Super Fruit Tea and it came with different chunks of fruit which was interesting!

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 2 Chakaa: ruby milk tea w brown sugar boba, regular milk 3 Tan-Cha: celon milk tea w caramel boba, non-dairy milk 4 Yun Tea House: Monkey King w boba, lactose-free house milk 5 Dayung: boba milk tea, non-dairy creamer Caveats: 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. I also heard Dayung is better known for their fruit teas anyway. In terms of the actual boba balls, Tan-Cha had the worst boba. This experiment involved a blind taste test, so I didn't know it was from Tan-Cha. Tan-Cha's was the first of five that I tried, and the boba was MUSHY! I was so shocked that a boba shop could have such terrible boba. It was also inconsistent. Instead of balls, I was drinking pieces of mushy boba, as if the boba balls got cut up. I distinctly remember one of the pieces having texture like a thin slice of grass jelly. I put the leftover drink in the fridge for a couple of hours, and the boba hardened and became chewier. But that's not how I want to enjoy my boba drinks. I have to conclude that Tan-Cha's drinks are good but not the boba. Don't order boba topping here.

After dinner, my niece still had room for drinks so we stopped by Tan Cha. She got the Thai Tea and I got the Orange Green Tea Slush. Service was fast and the drinks were ok. I didn't particularly love the tea flavor, but thought it was decent. It was relatively empty for a Sunday evening. The tea shop was clean with a good number of tables, always a plus in my books!

Had a milk tea and the sweetness of 25 percent was just right for me, likes the chewiness of the boba. Service was fast and efficient. Most of the milk teas here are non-dairy (thankful for me the lactose-intolerant), but they have some drinks with milk. Ambiance: has a restroom for customers, about 5 comfortable tables with plugs nearby (great for studying!) so a nice place to hang out and work or chat with friends. They play music in the background (while I was there, it was nice Disney instrumentals)

Came on a Thursday afternoon and there was plenty of parking in the lot. Ordered at the kiosk (no wait when I came) and drinks came out within 3-5 minutes. There are also tables inside if you want to sit down and enjoy your drinks but I just took them to go. The inside is clean and welcoming and felt like a typical asian boba shop. I got the brûlée thai milk tea with boba, less sugar - still pretty sweet in my opinion but had decent thai tea flavor. I felt like the tea itself was sweet so not sure if lowering the sweetness level would just be more diluted? But the brûlée cream that lines the cup is definitely a good add and what I came for! I'm not sure if this would be a go-to spot for me, but definitely gets the job done if in the area.

Fast friendly service. Got the uji matcha with cheese foam: excellent, creamy, smoothly, not to bitter or weird, asked for only low sweet level which was perfect

Came here while waiting for a table at China Max. $6.45 for a super fruit tea - not enough tea flavor. But there was space for us to sit and hang out.

Their Hami Milkshake is hands down the best milk based tea drink I've had! It's so fresh and not too heavy, perfect for the post kbbq treat Fast service!

When we come here, my go to order is the uji matcha with cheese foam, boba, Oreo, and sometimes egg pudding. It's always delicious! The decor in here is really cute and chairs are somewhat comfy. There are lots of outlets for people who want to do work here. Service is at kiosk. Got my order in five min. They also gave us a little shovel for the cheese foam! I really like their cup design here.

Parking can be difficult to find in the plaza where this place is located. Usually I see many people so I tried the Milk Tea without ice but it was very watered down and bland and the Bobas weren't as soft as they should be.

Matcha Tea with Red Bean Tan cha to this day is still my absolute favorite Boba spot in San Diego, if not absolute favorite Boba spot ever. Their teas are all so tasty and their Boba excellent, with great size of their drinks and very reasonable prices. As much as I adore their oolong Milk teas with Caramel Boba (my go to everywhere really), I have such a weakness for their matcha Tea with red bean. So incredibly good!!

Amazing! Great customer service. As soon as I approached the door I was greeted. I wish I was able to grab a coffee or tea and enjoy my cake there. I bought a large cake and several small ones to taste.this is a yummy find!

Got the brûlée Thai milk tea at 25% sweet- came out almost instantly and was just right! Too bad we didn't get to try the pancakes, give yourself 30-40 minutes as they're made from scratch. Lots of comfy seating inside. Parking is difficult, even on a Tuesday night.

I happened to stumble upon this cute, dessert, and boba spot while I was on my way to a different dessert place, LOL. What caught my eye was the fluffy Japanese pancakes! I've been to Morning Glory and I have tasted the infamous Japanese souffle pancakes and waited two hours (this includes wait time to get in and wait time until your receive your order) for the fluffy, warm concoction. Tan-Cha is a great substitute with less wait and more flavors! I came after dinner on a Thursday night and ordered the Uji Green Milk Tea with Tiramisu Puff Cream and the Creme Brulee Souffle Pancake. For the drink, I didn't taste much of the tiramisu flavoring except it had a combo of sweet and salty. The tea was lightly sweetened, and the boba was sweet and chewy. I did like the thick cup that it came in so that the cup doesn't collapse in when you're holding it. For the pancake, it is a double souffle pancake stacked on top of each other. The pancakes don't stand as high as Morning Glory's, but I'm not complaining since it's significantly cheaper. The pancakes were drenched in the creme brulee, and there was the brown sugar crusting in the middle. The consistency of the dessert was so soft and airy. It melts in your mouth! I did want more of the crust throughout the entire top of the pancakes instead of just in the center. I also didn't have to wait long, but I had overheard one of the customers saying that she had waited 20 minutes last time she came. I know that these pancakes can take a while to cook because they are so thick, so I wouldn't have minded if I waited. I loved the decor of this place, it is sleek and modern with soothing music that reminded me of the piano music I hear while shopping at Nordstrom. It would be awesome if this place also offers coffee drinks to pair with the pancakes! That would be fire. I'll be back soon to try the tiramisu and/or the mango pancakes :)

Best boba spot ever! This is my new favorite boba. I got the tea with matcha foam! It's the best. Love it and so unique. Lots of drink options. You can customize the amount of sugar and ice. They also have fluffy pancakes. I got the creme brûlée pancakes. They are nice jiggly pancakes. They are nice and thick. It takes 35 minutes to get the pancakes. Ambiance is nice and has seating. Cute and clean boba cafe shop.

I tried Tan Cha for the first time at their Napa St. location. I remember their boba was very good and wanted to try them here at their Convoy location. Honest review- It was disappointing. The store was not very welcoming. There was no ac, it felt stuffy. And there was a smell that smelled awfully like someone had a bowel movement and didn't flush or spray. Add that on top of a stuffy atmosphere and it was just an overall unpleasant dining environment all together. Additionally, the shop was not very clean, the tables and chairs were disgusting. My friend and I decided to take our drinks to our cars and drink there instead. Moving on to the drinks, I ordered a Thai tea at 50% sweet with light ice and boba. It still tasted EXTREMELY sugary and sweet. The boba consistency was ok though, still better at Napa St location. Parking here is not a complete nightmare- but it could easily be. Came here on a Wednesday night at around 7pm and still had to circle the parking complex multiple times to find a stall. Street parking was also full. With all the other boba shops nearby, I don't think I'll be back unfortunately.

Cute little shop. I like their holiday spirit with the Halloween decor. I got the brûlée Thai milk tea with boba and it was delicious. Drink was creamy and I got it 50% sweet, so it wasn't too sweet. Service was quick.

My son and daughter in law came into town to visit me a couple of weeks ago and they love Boba tea. We looked up some popular places and found this place. Parking lot very crowded but we thankfully found a spot fairly quickly. Walked in a ...few people in there and since it was our first time, we didn't know what we wanted quite yet. They had a tablet featuring the menu on the front side of the restaurant that you can take your time to look over what you want. Cashier was very friendly and said we can order with her but we decided to use the tablet to not hold up the regulars that knew what they wanted. I was amazed at all the choices. Me being new to boba, I did need time for my son to explain what I would most likely like to drink. I love espresso so I picked a milk tea with a tiramisu foam and I love custard so in place of pearls I chose the egg custard squares and just a little sweetness. My son told me that the tiramisu might cause it to be too sweet if I kept it at a super sweet level and he was right about that. Ok now when I drank this I tasted the foam first and wow was it creamy I was in love with that creamy espresso taste that likened to eating a soft frosting. The egg custard was your typical egg custard. I didn't hate it in my drink but it wasn't my favorite either. Might try something else next time in there but would definitely get that drink again. When you stirred the foam into the milk tea it brought a whole new level of yum to the tea. I finished that sucker off. Everyone enjoyed their choices and I would go back again for sure. There was a bathroom for patrons and the place was clean with a fair amount of seating for like 4 groups . The music was very pumping in there as well. It was hard not to dance while drinking my tea .ha ha

I got the roasted oolong with tiramisu foam and the tiramisu foam definitely elevated this drink. The interior is bright and has a more modern look. The service was pretty quick and the staff is friendly.

Delicious! Definitely will come again! Mango Creamie Smoothie is very creamy and the Brulee Thai Milk Tea sweet and light! Cute location

All of our drinks were very good large variety. Very tasty. Service was just a little bit slow but well worth it. We will be coming here again soon.

Tried this spot for the first time and wasn't too disappointed. They have a large selection of drinks including drinks with cheese and cream. I ordered a strawberry green tea with lychee and it was good- the fresh strawberry bits were delightful in each sip. However, the ordering process for my first time was a little interesting. I'm a person who likes to ask questions about the menu, esp when it's my first time there. I ordered off a tablet and had to approach the counter for my question- I'm just a little shy so it was slightly funny for me to go up there hehe Other than that, it was great and the drinks came out pretty quick! The space is definitely "a sit for a short while and then leave when you get your drink" kind of space. Not a lot of staying happening, overall good!

This place continues to be one of my favorite boba spots in Convoy. They've got the tiramisu foam cream just right, with a perfect ratio that's both pretty and deliciously balanced with your tea. It's a quiet shop, drinks come out in a reasonable amount of time. I actually like how small it is, the lighting is nice and it's impossible to get crowded. Perfect spot for an after dinner tea to enjoy while digesting other goodies you've had in Convoy.

Wanted to try a new boba spot and Tan-Cha was nearby so I gave it a shot. I ordered the Royal Ceylon Milk Tea with Tiramisu Foam which was one of their popular specialty drinks. The drink was really delicious and creamy and I went with half sweet which was a good call. Located in a smaller shopping/apartment complex so there is parking available!

I recently got a strawberry green tea with boba, 0% sugar as I am not a fan of super sugary drinks. I thought there would be some strawberry flavor but it really lacked. It seemed that they just added strawberry chunks to green tea, and the strawberry chunks had absolutely no flavor. It is my fault for not adding sugar, so next time I think I would add 25% sugar. My friends get their milk teas and other specialty drinks, and they always like it. But I feel like I get disappointed with my orders, and it is definitely not worth the price point ($6.75 for my strawberry green tea boba...) but I am willing to visit again to try other drinks and see if they're any better.

My fave boba on convoy. The tiramisu foam is delish. Also love the super fruit tea. Great every time for a lil treat

Went after dinner since it's located in a plaza full of Asian restaurants. The shop itself is small, cute and clean. The caramel boba (the black tapioca boba) was sweet, cooked all the way through and chewy. The drinks were decent for the price ~$7-9, size, and aesthetic, but flavor of the milk tea itself wasn't as strong as I would like. Got the crème brûlée matcha w/ oreo- the matcha could be a little bit stronger in flavor but overall good, just make sure you stir first because the oreo all day at the bottom. Also got the messy taro was interesting- thought it would be taro milk tea but they used a taro paste/jelly and what tastes like coconut milk which overpowered the taro taste. Parking can be hard to find during dinner.

Love the brulee Thai milk tea. *chefs kiss* it's so yummy and what I usually order. I've gone here a handful of times and have always enjoyed my drinks. They're usually pretty quick with the drinks. Seating inside is okay. Sometimes parking is hard because... anywhere on convoy in the evening is hard to find parking. Overall, a good boba spot

So Tan-Cha isn't really lactose-intolerant friendly so I only had very few drinks to choose from. I ended up going with the Super Fruit Tea ($6) with Caramel Boba (75 cents). What I don't like about fruit teas across the board, not just with this place specifically, is that they put huge chunks of fruit in the drink that it takes up half the volume of the cup so you're actually not really getting as much tea as the others. The fruit tea was good enough for me that i have no complaints. The boba was pretty good too, and really sweet. I could really taste the caramel. It's a good refreshing drink to get on a hot day. I feel like if you get something here that they're more known for, like the cheese foam or tiramisu foam, then you might have a better impression on this place. I did get a couple sips of the milk tea with tiramisu, and it tasted pretty good, although it's milk tea so it can really only get so good. Unfortunately I can't handle even milk in foam so I was very very limited in what I could get. I'd rather go somewhere else that has a bit more of a selection for people like me who are more sensitive to milk.

Popped in while car dealing and this place is so charming, quaint, and delish! This is not your typical, run of the mill boba place. The teas are fresh and brewed in house, the way tea should be!

Great location, they are located in the middle of Kearny mesa, easy to access from either I-163 or I-805. They have great offerings from the menu, and they also post recommendations/top rated drinks for customers, which helps the customers to quickly identify the popular drinks from the store. I tend to look for healthy alternatives when coming to tea shops, and Tan-cha has them, from great fruit juice slush to mixed of passion fruit, you can name them all.

I honestly loveeee this boba shop! They have some of the highest quality boba I've tried. It's always pretty busy in there but the service is fast and super accommodating, they are also super sweet if you have any questions about drink recommendations. The shop is a decent size so it's nice to hangout and talk if you'd like! Parking can be difficult in this area so just prepare for that

Service was friendly. Ample seating. Ordered the strawberry green tea with boba. Boba was nice and chewy with the perfect amount of sweetness to balance out my tea since I always order my drinks with less ice and less sugar. Loved that there were so many strawberry bits.

They now have signs about being short staffed and service being slower. I can be understanding about that, but we waited 50 minutes to get our drinks. Including the line to order, we spent over an hour in the shop. That is absurd for anywhere, even the finest dining experiences. So if you are that understaffed, you need to change something with your service. Perhaps close off mobile app orders (like Doordash)? If you can't handle the load happening in-store, you can choose to decline taking online orders. Or not let one person order 14 drinks? It is also totally unacceptable for an employee to respond to a question by waving their hands and shaking their head. The dismissive attitude and ridiculous wait time is a no for me, no matter how good the drinks are. There is no way I will be returning.

My favorite tea spot for cream top drinks! Their matcha is my go-to but there are also a ton of other drinks here that is delicious! Their decor is cute & I love their muscle lucky cat sat at the front - is that why they're so popular? Because there's extra muscle on the cat? I think so. But overall, the hype is real & LOVE their tea. There's always a wait, but so worth it. I recommend calling to order in advance so you don't have to wait - also parking is horrible in this plaza. Try to park further away if you can find a spot.

I got the Uji Green Tea milk tea with boba and half sugar. I thought it came with the cheese foam due to the pictures but it didn't, but it still tasted great! The boba was so soft and chewy. This was the perfect amount of sugar, while the drink was still sweet, I could still taste the green tea perfectly. Overall, this was a super addicting drink and I could see myself going back to this order again.

They have self ordered kiosk. Ambiance is nice, small with a few tables. We got our drinks quick. Drinks: 2.5/5

At first when I stepped in to look above at the menu, I was a bit overwhelmed on what to order. Their menu is more on the special side with tiramisu foam, cheese foam, matcha foam. I just wanted a classic milk tea drink with no boba and clearly this is not your typical basic milk tea joint. I picked one of the 7 top seasonal drinks. The Uji Green Milk Tea with tiramisu #3. I wasn't sure what it would taste like. I did 75% sweet and less ice. It came out perfect! It wasn't so sweet and it was light but with strong tea flavor almost like matcha. Then when you stir the tiramisu foam, it just made it so creamy and changes the taste for the better.

Stopped by after having dinner nearby. I didn't have any expectations for this place. I ordered the uji milk green tea with the tiramisu foam and let me tell you, I was amazed! The green tea flavor was strong which is exactly what I like. Everything about the milk tea was perfect (ratio, smooth texture, flavor). I came back the next day and got the same thing because I enjoyed it so much. I really recommend giving this place a try! Just a heads up, parking might be difficult to find at night during the weekend.

Tan Cha took the spot of where Bambu used to be. I'm glad there's one closer than Linda Vista! I ordered the Royal Ceylon Milk tea with Tiramisu foam. TBH, I only ordered a foam top drink cos I wanted the darn shovel but they were out. Ughhh. With that said, the drink is delicious even getting it with no sugar. The tea flavor was rich. But they should have given a regular spoon or something for the foam. I also wanted to try the souffle pancakes but apparently those aren't available till after 5pm. FAIL. In any case, will be coming back

I've been to other Tan-Cha locations before and found them to be okay, but I did always order the milk tea previously and I was never impressed. So I was pleasantly surprised by the drinks and food when I came to this location with friends on a Saturday night. I will say that there is a bit of a line, but this location is open quite late, which is super nice. However, there is pretty limited seating, so it may be more of a grab and go rather than a store you plan to hang out at. This store also makes souffle pancakes, but they are only available at night and as they are made fresh, you will need to wait around twenty minutes. Cheezo Strawberry (4.25/5): Cheese foam is a topping that is either delicious or questionable for me and this one was a home run. The slight, tangy cheese foam balances super well with the fruit slushie and just pairs perfectly! Creme Brulee Souffle Pancakes (3.25/5): This was really fluffy and jiggly, but I did find the pancakes themselves to be a bit bland. The creme anglaise sauce itself I thought was a tad overcooked/torched and tasted a bit bitter, but that could have just been that batch. I would maybe recommend trying a different variation of the pancakes instead.

Tan-Cha is most of my friends' new favorite boba shop at the moment. I tried the Royal Ceylon milk tea with tiramisu puff cream and it was creamy and delicious! I like how it came with a cute little shovel too. My hubby got the brown sugar milk tea and enjoyed it as well. I tried my friend's grape drink and it was pretty refreshing and surprisingly delicious! I already have in mind what I want to try next and saw that they also have souffle pancakes! Can't wait to come back!

We ordered matcha boba with salted cream and the original Souffle pancake. So good. Must try!!!

Have given this place several chances because of the hype and because I'm always in the area, but I've come out slightly disappointed every time! Disclaimer: I'm very caffeine sensitive so I always judge a boba place based on their decaf options and I have to say decaf drinks definitely aren't Tan Cha's strong suit. Smoothies and slushes all tasted icy, flavors tasted syrup-y and a little artificial and just didn't feel worth the price. Service can also be slow and parking in the plaza can be very challenging during peak hours (evenings during dinner time especially on Friday nights and weekends). The few times I've tried their caffeinated drinks, like their milk tea with tiramisu puff cream, they were amazing though! I just wouldn't recommend coming here for their decaf options (smoothies and slushes) if that's what you're looking for.

Came here on a whim and my gosh I was blown away. Their Uji Green Milk Tea (less sugar) is one of the best milk teas I tried. I love it so much. I also had the Uji Green Milk Tea with tiramisu foam, less sugar, but found it to be too sweet. I prefer it plain. I can't wait to try the other items, like the royal ceylon milk tea and their pancakes. But I already tried enough to know this place is amazing.

Let's start with the drinks - which are delicious!!! And very quick service! We wanted to try the Tokyo style soufle pancakes...but it takes 10-15 minutes to make. And didn't look to be that big. So we passed. Maybe next time, when I have more time to wait and didn't spent 20 minutes trying to find parking There is a small dining area! And they were playing hella bomb ass 'old school' hip hop. So you know we were feeling it. Parking - no fault of Tan-Cha's, but the Convoy area, in general, is FILLED with lots of great restaurants, bubble tea stores, and other Asian stores. So it's no wonder that parking can be scarce. And I'm talking, drop someone off to pick up your order, and drive around the parking lot 8x, crazy parking. And yes, we literally circled the parking lot AND the block at least 8x! - the drinks are really that delicious!! Either pack your patience, or come at none peak times!

So good that I went back three times over the course of a week and a half! I found myself making an excuse to do errands in the Kearny Mesa area just to grab a drink! So addicting, so good. I forgot to take a pic of my 3rd drink, I think it was a salted caramel, and it had these cute little chocolate crispy beans on top. Never seen that before in other drinks and was a nice touch. Best boba spot everrrrrrrr!

Tan-Cha has been my go-to recently for boba drinks because I love tiramisu foam and their Uji Matcha is so good with it! The price point is pretty high for boba costing around $7 now (with foam). The Uji drink is sometimes inconsistent with the tea flavor and sweetness but when it's made well it is amazing! It may be hard to communicate depending on whoever is register because sometimes my order is misheard. The shop is small and I chose to wait outside for my drink because I feel a little claustrophobic there. The decor is simple and classy without overdoing it and their selection of drinks is very unique.

They should put the self serve kiosk not so close to the register because people in line to the register are blocking the kiosk. We came around 8:30pm on a Tuesday and they ran out of boba. They said it would take 50 minutes (yes, five-zero) for a new batch. They close at 10:30pm so it shouldn't take that long or they should have another batch being closer to being done.
