I don’t understand why there is bad reviews for this place, I’ve been here multiple times different time and different days, they have the best boba out there honestly and trust me I’ve had many. They also have the best drinks, there hasn’t been a drink I did not like. The staff is really nice and fast. Also let’s not forget the big variety of drinks they have! Love it

We had the Cheese Foam Boba Milk Tea and my brother had the Chocolate Milk shake. We had 4 macaroons that were the Glory materialized. Our Tea expert was amazing and very helpful. We came early so we didnt need to make a line. I loved the 25% sugar and the Hokkaido milk. I disnt expect to have such a great drink right here in Chula Vista. I will be back pretty soon

The staff here are really nice. I don’t come here often, but when I do it always a good experience. This place is relaxing, and has a cool theme to it. Also, I just really love the macaroons offered, and the boba. I got the Dragon Milk tea with boba/grass jelly, and these macaroons.

The passion fruit tea here is super tasty tangy, sweet, and really refreshing. I did 75% sweetness, so the flavor is nicely balanced. Perfect for a hot day.

I'm not a milk tea fan but I absolutely love the fruit teas here , fresh and easy to drink!💖

This place is amazing! The drinks are always on point, very flavorful and not too sweet. I always get the avocado snow bubble since they use Hass avo to make this drink! You can tell it's quality stuff when drinking it. The boba is fresh and chewy too! The vibe here is super chill, they recently did a remodel with a more warm and welcoming look. Great place to hang with friends or just grabbing a quick drink. Plus, the staff is really friendly and actually takes the time to make sure you get exactly what you want. If you love boba and live in the South Bay, check this place out!

The matcha adds a vibrant, earthy taste, while the Kit Kat pieces bring the perfect crunch. Together, they create a unique smoothie taste, perfect for anyone craving something new and exciting.

I normally don't go for caramel macchiato milk teas, but this one changed my mind. It's indulgent without being overly sweet . The caramel flavor is balanced by the tea, so you still get that comforting richness without feeling like you're drinking candy. I'm not ashamed to admit I've ordered it multiple times now because it hits all the right notes . It's the kind of drink that feels like a treat after a long week or when you want to reward yourself. If you enjoy a bit of decadence every now and then, it's worth trying!!💖

I dig this place. Cool atmosphere. Chill music. Good place for late night study. The chocolate banana drink is delicious.

I joke that I-m addicted to this place, but it-s almost true. Everything about Vanitea draws me back-the charming décor, the friendly faces and, of course, the drinks. There-s a feeling here that you don-t get at chain cafés. I-ve brought friends and family, and everyone comments on the inviting atmosphere. The staff always remembers us and makes each visit feel personal. I often find myself thinking about what to try next even before I-ve finished what I-m drinking. It-s become more than a café for me; it-s a place I genuinely enjoy spending time in.

This cafe has become my new go-to! The taro coconut snow is heaven in a cup, with boba was so yum! The baristas were super nice and helpful with recommendations. Prices are affordable and the interior design is aesthetically pleasing. Love this place!

I can-t help but admire the details when I-m here. Every corner seems thought out, from the light fixtures to the plants. It makes the space feel inviting, and I notice something new each visit. It-s not overdone or kitschy, just well arranged and cozy. The vibe puts me at ease, and it-s part of why I like sticking around longer than planned. Even if I-m just there to grab a drink, I-ll end up sitting for a bit because it feels nice.

I-ve always been a matcha person, but I never thought to pair it with chocolate until I tried the matcha drink with Kit Kat bits. Somehow, it works. The earthiness of the matcha is balanced by the sweetness and crunch of the chocolate. It-s sweet without feeling heavy, so I don-t get that sugar crash I sometimes get from dessert drinks. I remember taking a sip and thinking, “Why didn-t anyone think of this sooner?” Now it-s my treat drink when I feel like having something fun. It-s different from the usual boba flavors but still familiar enough to be comforting

I randomly stumbled upon Vanitea Cafe and it turned out to be a hidden gem! The atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming, and their drinks? Absolutely top-tier. I tried the salted cheese green tea and it was refreshing with just the right amount of saltiness. Friendly staff, clean space, and great location. Highly recommended!

If you enjoy Boba and macaroons then this is the place to be. Lots of flavors and variety of beverages with the option to add Boba, and usually at least 10 different flavors of macaroons to choose from. Their bathroom was pretty fun!

Knowledgable staff, good boba, relaxing and aesthetically pleasing space. Over 10 flavors of macaroons, but they run out quick! Try the Vanilla Gold Flavor 🙂 RECOMMEND: the Milk teas - they cost between $3 - $4. 4/5 stars because they sold me a $5 iced coffee with LOTS of ICE - you guys broke my heart! - more ice = less coffee D:

Definitely fun little spot to get these beautiful and tasty macaroons. The boba tea was good but read the menu on the wall and in front of the cash register, If you haven't ordered here before. It Gets busy... but plenty of seating inside and outside.

This place is small but they serve up a lot of different drinks, types and sweets. I just ordered a iced Vietnamese coffee. It was good but I drank it in 4 sips and kt was gone. They have a cool lid machine that seals the lids on. Perhaps another type of order would be better next time to get more bang for my buck. Other than that it is a cool vibe

I was really looking forward to having their raindrop cake which they didn't have. I really wanted to like this place but I ordered make your own s'mores but was not aware what I was really ordering I thought it was a s'mores specialty FYI it's really a s’mores set up for 4 or more people not two I felt bad my boyfriend paid a lot of money for something we didn't finish having. The brick was ok. Over all sub par.

First time in this place. Terrible! I had the avocado snow and it didn't even taste like avocado. Later on I find out that they make their drinks are made from POWDER. I've been on MANY boba places from different cities and this is the worst boba place I've ever been to.. and apparently the boba is made from honey. And yet I don't even taste the honey. Artificial. Bland. Not worth the money. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. For the owner who responded. No I am not wrong this is the place where I got my drink. We saw you guys put powder in them. I even asked what it was and they said "this is our ube flavor" (that was with another drink we saw being made). There isn't even ANY fresh fruit in the building. I've been to practically every boba place in California and I've never had such poorly tasting drinks. I would not recommend.
