Submarina San Diego Reviews
Easy ordering and fast, efficient service. We tried three different boba spots during our visit, and this was easily one of the best. Great quality and consistency. We will definitely be back.
Their new Japanese Burn and Coconut coffee are awesome, and so is the service. And the boba is soft, like marshmallows in your mouth. Update: Gone in 60 seconds.
Good experience, restaurant very clean staff very nice. Lots of options for drinks. I got the Taro and it reminds me of a cookie. Very good.
My favorite boba shop in the neighborhood. They have a great selection of drinks to choose from from milk teas to slushies. My favorites are the Matcha Cloud and Avocado Smoothie.
The A-Li-Shan milk tea is good, after drink it, you may feel a lingering fragrance in mouth. Pretty authentic! The egg waffle is well baked.
Signature Fruit Tea w/ black pearl 4/5 Blueberry Midnight w/ mango popping boba 5/5 The Blueberry Midnight was only 50% sweet but it was still quite a bit sweeter than the Signature Fruit Tea at 75%. The level was ok, but I won't be getting it any higher. I'm guessing the popping boba kicked it up a bit, but I'm no boba chemistry genius.
I was super excited for this place to open, and it lived up to the hype! The drinks have a much stronger/better tea flavor than I’ve had at other places, and their bubble waffles are really good too 😃

Ethan provides outstanding service to everyone at Presto Tea. He’s friendly, attentive, and always makes customers feel welcome, taking the time to make sure each order is just right. His positive attitude really adds to the experience and keeps people coming back. On top of the great service, Presto Tea’s drinks and food are absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and consistently well made. Thanks to Ethan and the quality of their menu, every visit to Presto Tea is enjoyable and satisfying.
Our first time at this tea shop was a great experience! Customer service was 5/5 - staff was very knowledgeable and they answered all of our questions with enthusiasm. They even added a free drink as it was our first time and we were hesitant to try something different. The space is clean and the menu is very expansive. We’ll definitely be back.
This place has a wide variety of drinks that are refreshing and reasonably priced. Service is great and the wait is never too long. My go to spot after enjoying Korean BBQ. Give them a try.
Exceptional drink selection. The mango cloud with no add-ons was perfect. Excellent hot green tea as well. Koshi provided outstanding service.
One of my favorite boba shops in RB. I'm in love with the Alishan Milk Tea. It's soooo good! The service here is always friendly and quick. You have the option to order and pay at the kiosks by the entrance or at the counter. The staff are knowledgeable and there's plenty of seating as well. Edit September 2024: I still come here regularly and it's definitely my top three favorite boba shops in San Diego county. Still in love with the Alishan milk tea, it's my go to. The quality is consistent every time. Friendly, fast service.
I love this place. The staff was very welcoming and nice. My husband and I visited for the first time and werent sure what to order, but the girl working the register, Rachel, was very helpful in giving me reccomendations. They were doing a fun scratch-off raffle event for lunar new year, so if you get a chance to go this weekend you should. I got the hojicha milk tea with boba and the boba was very chewy and fresh. I liked the tea too, and the sweetness level was perfect. My husband got a bubble waffle, and it was soft and warm. He tried the lychee fruit tea and enjoyed it. We will be back soon!

Loved the Coconut 🥥 Coffee. Fire 🔥! Thanks for letting me know what you have to offer at Presstea Ayimee and Araiya, you're the best! $40 for a box of tea, DEAL!!!
Really yummy boba! They have a ton of different flavors. The kumquat plum was tangy and sweet, delicious! We also love the taro coconut cloud...something? I forget the correct name, but it's delicious!

🧋 Presotea – 4 Stars Stopped by Presotea for some coffee and boba. The drinks were good, and the space was cozy — great for conversation and fellowship. Solid spot, just not quite a 5-star experience this time.
Atmosphere nothing to get up and shout about, but it is very clean, and really convenient that it is open late at night! Some of us work late or study late and that's when we really would like to have a spot that is open past 3:00 p.m. which unfortunately is the standard closing time of most caffeinated places in Rancho Bernardo lol! :-) lots of sugary or fruity boba type drinks, but you can also choose from some high quality tea options and the best part is you can absolutely customize it to have no sugar and no add-ons. If you're over the age of 19, it seems like more of a takeout place than some place you would like to sit and linger, but the drinks are good and there are tons of customizable options so all around I give it a thumbs up!

good boba. service was nice enough. the prices are kind of steep but the drinks are relatively large so that cancels out. i like the interior design
I just got home to drink my Taro tea and I live about 10 mins away. There was a fly in my boba. This was my first time there and last time I will ever go there
There isnt a button for no tip on iPad prompt. If you do not wish to tip you need to hit the custom option, open a new screen and manually type in 0.00 while the cashier stares at you. Otherwise a tip will be preselected. There is also an additional service fee on every transaction that can’t be removed.
