La Jolla Boba

Nika Ostovar

Excellent new boba spot!! I’m a boba connoisseur (read: addict) and I loved this place. I got the strawberry matcha with brown sugar boba and the boba was cooked perfectly (nice and chewy) and the matcha was high quality. I’ll definitely be back! Tip: park in front of Nozomi so you don’t have to pay for parking.

The matcha is said to be imported from Japan and the matcha latte tastes pretty authentic to me. They also have so many other selections for fruit teas so I’ll come back and try them someday.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Family owned, the owner is so sweet and open to suggestions. A friend and I go at least once a week & order for a group of 4-5. La Jolla Sunrise is my go to. 🧋

Natasha was so kind and patient with our kids order. La Jolla Shores with gummies was delicious!!!

Delicious Vietnamese iced coffee! Very sweet staff will be back

Super stoked they finally opened up a boba place in this center. The place is located in a shared unit (same owner I think) as Crispy Burger. Nothing better than a double smashed burger, some salty fries and power that down with an Ice cold boba!

This place is amazing! Best Boba we ever had! So many beautiful delicious choices! Love the “Berry in Love” not on the menu yet but just ask!

Cool place, tasty drinks and handled my mods easily with a smile. The lady there was super friendly and quick…connected to the crispy burger; cool concept and open plan with lots of seating. I’d come here again ❤️

Amazing brown sugar boba!!!! I go to a lot of boba spots around San Diego and this place has the yummiest most delicious brown sugar boba 🌸 so grateful to have such a high quality spot so close to ucsd 🧋also HIGHLY appreciate the non dairy milk options!

The owner is super sweet, and passionate about her menu. Drinks are always amazing, and the boba texture is always perfect!

Tried La Jolla Boba for the first time and overall had a good experience. The staff members provided quick service while keeping their friendly attitude when they served our drinks. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha and the Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie. The Strawberry Matcha provided a nice drinking experience because its matcha taste stayed delicate as it combined with strawberry flavors. The Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie was also good, creamy and refreshing. The drinks maintained a consistent quality and the prices were reasonable at $7.50 each for the regular size. The shop was empty during my visit so I experienced complete silence while I relaxed there. A nice perk is that they vouch for parking, which makes stopping by more convenient in La Jolla.

It is SO sweet. And not in a good way. And they use powder products. They charge 1$ extra for a scoop of boba. Not worth the price.

I can’t actually review the drinks that we bought, because although the employee told me they had put Boba straws into the bag, when I opened the bag, there were no straws! #fail They look tasty. I will definitely check for straws before I leave the store next time.

The tea itself is really good ! However the boba was pretty bland and had no flavor (very watery). Plus pearls were pretty stuck together and clogged the straw. Maybe it was just a bad batch. Would have to try again to confirm.

Service was quick and very friendly! Unfortunately the milk tea was terrible :( I ordered a 50% sugar Hokkaido milk tea, but even with the adjustment it was still SUPER sweet, like drinking pure syrup even after mixing up the drink. There was way too much creamer and no tea taste at all, I didn’t see any tea particles at the bottom of the cup. Would not recommend ordering any milk teas :( On a good note, I also tried the La Jolla Sunrise and it was significantly better! Not bad overall but stick to the fruit teas

I went 3 times trying to give it a chance, but I can't find myself liking any of their boba. The boba itself is so small I barely get any satisfaction biting into it. Also, many of their drinks just don't do it for me. I've tried the strawberry matcha and milky mango so far and they were mid at best. I can't recommend this place at all but will update as it looks like la jolla shore flavor is popualr.

My strawberry barely had matcha in it 😒

Been there a couple times to give them a chance, both times the drink was way too sweet, boba was overcooked and everything tasted artificial. Been dreaming of more boba shops in La Jolla but that’s sub-par

I ordered a matcha drink here and was incredibly disappointed—it didn’t taste like matcha at all. It was basically just sweet milk with a faint green tint. No earthy flavor, no depth, nothing remotely close to what matcha should taste like. When I asked if I could exchange it for a different drink, the server declined and simply asked if I wanted to add more sweetener... which made no sense, since the problem wasn’t that it wasn’t sweet—it was that it didn’t taste like matcha at all. Between the lackluster drink and the dismissive service, I won’t be returning. If you're a matcha lover, I’d suggest going elsewhere.
