CaliTea

Fresh tea and cozy spot, there's something just refreshing and simple when you can just enjoy a tea this way. There's a deeper yet homey flavor that makes you want to come back.

The fresh made milk tea tasted delicious and the boba were the perfect texture. Excellent!

Great store with good vibes and aesthetics. Has a variety of choices from boba to fruit juices to smoothies and slushies. I got the Thai tea and tastes very good and rich. Great place!

I got the cookie butter milk tea and it is amazing! The drink tasted just like I expected and the workers there are very kind and polite. Overall it’s a welcoming atmosphere

Love the drink selections and the variety outside of the normal boba drinks. Would love if they had some food options and more seating.

Owner is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, offering suggestions based on our preferences. Tea and smoothie were both tasty and refreshing.

First time here today, the matcha milk tea with honey boba with 50% sweetness was so delicious! I will definitely be back to try more flavors! Great service and prices are comparable with others in the area.

The Thai Milk Tea is excellent! You can build your own tea, great customization.

Calitea has a huge selection of drinks that are all freshly prepared. Everything I have tried I have loved, especially the matcha milk tea with honey boba. This place has a great vibe with relaxed indoor and outdoor seating and the employees are always friendly. It is conveniently close to Fashion Valley and USD. I will be back again and again!

CaliTea is a fantastic option for Boba tea drinks here in mission Valley very good menu lots of options, the lady who took our order was very welcoming and helpful and the shop was immaculate, very clean and overall we were impressed. We definitely will come back soon

Very cozy spot, the tea was not bad and relatively reasonably priced. The boba itself has a great flavor and chewiness but the tea is a little on the weaker side overall.

This review is more for the owners: was excited to try this place for the first time, especially the ube fresh milk (one of their specials right now)! Unfortunately, the boba was hard and the drink tasted powdery. Was very surprised given these are the basics; not sure if it's an off-day, or if something else (please feel free to respond/comment!). Will try again down the line - would love to see y'all thrive!

Really good Bubble Tea, but have to go later in the day to get boba in your bubble tea, so knocking a few stars off since this has happened on multiple occasions. ✨HINT: DO NOT go right at opening. They won’t have any boba available at noon, go at least 1 hour later.✨

My partner and I got two drinks from here. One tasted like watered coffee and the other like straight up milk. Cute but flavor was lacking and was still expensive.

The build your own tea comes with hidden charges… it’s not really $5.60 as they do charge you .40 cents extra for any of the flavors you choose on step 3. But it does taste like quality tea/ ingredients are used.

Staff is nice, but they’re SO slow. Every time I’ve gotten a drink it takes them at least 10- 15 min to make, and way longer If there are people in front of you. Also, this time they ran out of boba .. told me this after i already waited for 15 min on my drink after checking back multiple times. Should have come out and told me once they realized instead of checking for myself. Not a great experience.
