Daboba

Staffs are so friendly. Drinks are delicious. Atmosphere is so romantic and zen 💞

So yummy! Finally got a chance to stop in yesterday & it definitely will not be my last visit! Such a cute shop, really good boba and yummy drinks & kind staff! Definitely recommend!

This place is so cute! Lovely green plants hanging down from the ceiling, couches, a swinging chair and adorable containers. The mango yogurt drink with boba was so refreshing on a hot day. Looking forward to trying more tea here!

Craving satisfied! By far best boba I’ve had. Boba is fresh and the cheese whip on top with cream brûlée option is a must try. I ordered the brown sugar milk tea with cheese whip and a strawberry smoothie.

Hidden gem. Best tasting Boba Milk Tea place in the entire San Diego county. Bear theme and excellent ambiance inside (very relaxing/peaceful) as well which is so cute. Attention to details with the environment and drink presentation. I highly recommend the Taro smoothie, best in class and to this date, the one to beat. If you love bears, this is the perfect bear cafe in the county. Now I don’t have to go anywhere else for my craving.

First time here, and it was a great experience! Got my boba super fast, and it tasted really good. The staff was really friendly—one of them even checked in on us while walking by, which was nice. Plus, they have free WiFi and a great workspace, so it’s definitely a solid spot to get some work done or just chill!

Comfy atmosphere and tasty drinks. Stopped for the first time and got served quick. The drinks we ordered took longer than you’d expect for Starbucks but not terribly long. We got some blended drinks so it probably added to the time. The place has a great vibe with tables and some intimate spots to hang. Good for a quiet get together or date. The drinks were a little pricey, at average $6 for each. This was for the smaller one as well. We’d stop here again and had a nice time overall.

The Mango Yogurt drink is delicious. Brown sugar Pearl boba is great. Both of them are signature drinks. Nice decorations. Small space indoors, clean restroom. In business places, so they have a lot of parking lots. People gonna love Santee Daboba. They should improve the pickup area when business is busier.

Very delicious Boba! The staff was helpful and courteous in helping choose because so many to choose from! I’ve been here at least 3 times Mango Frappe is my seasonal fave! Vietnamese with brown sugar boba also very good as well as Thai Tea worth making the trip and so nice to have close to work 😊

What a gem this place is. The milk tea was great, they toasted the foam on top and it was delicious! Staff was exceptionally friendly! The seating in This place is really neat and modern, lot of people were hanging out and enjoying the cafe environment. definitely worth a stop here! The milk tea crème Brulé, is such a treat! They also had some extra strawberry yogurt frap and it was delicious!

My new favorite boba spot in Eastern San Diego!! Located in Santee near GTM, In and Out and Kohls. Most convenient location to get in my opinion really really good bubble tea. My recommendation? Anything in the Roasted brown sugar series! All come with boba and add in crème brûlée!

This boba place is so cute and I love all the options they have! I tried the creme brûlée pudding this time and it was so good. The inside area is really nice with all the plants too.

This is definitely on my top three boba spots. Very cozy atmosphere and cute presentation of drinks. Service was quick and friendly. Got the matcha frappe and was pleasantly surprised by the paw print on top 😍 🐾

Zen Vibe, Gracious Service, Delicious Boba. A Trifecta of goodness. I didn't want something as caffeinated as coffee so decided to try Daboba. There were so many delicious looking choices it was hard to decide. One of the other customers told me the Brown Sugar milk tea was like drinking creme brulee. She was right, they even torch the top of the drink to give it a crisp slightly burnt sugar flavor that pairs really well with the drink. I will now be driving to Santee for boba rather than fighting traffic and crowds on Convoy. And to the delightful crew working on Sunday, thank you so much for elevating my mood and day off. Your shop is a gem!

Halie and Selena were wonderful! They help me decide what to get and had great customer service. Super quick and friendly too. Would go back because I had a great first experience at Daboba because of Halie and Selena. The drinks were yummy too! Great vibes and decor, lots of sitting room. Menu was clear and great options but also had the classics.

I’ve been coming regularly for years since this is the been boba I’ve found in San Diego county. But I had an experience that really makes this place worth of your time and money - I had a pretty last minute and slightly complicated order: I wanted jars of milk tea and boba sold separate so I could take it home and let my guests be able to kind of build their own drinks. It wasn’t an official cater order and I needed that evening, for about 15 drinks worth. They didn’t have extra tea on hand and many of the teas need proportioned syrups and sauce that can’t really be made at home without proper equipment. It had to go through Nick the manager, and after much coordination, he and the two guys working that evening were able to accommodate me, even giving me a discount and doing their best to compromise with my needs. I brought containers and they made some of their more simple teas but still delicious to put in them. They even gave me extra teas and helped me carry it all to my car. I really appreciated their kindness, patience, and hard work and will continue coming here for years to come!! All my guests loved the idea and the tea 😎🫶🏾

Nice and cozy place. I tried the oolong and taro teas with bobas, very good. Taro is my favorite. I ll try the yogurt blends and see how they are. They serve it in a fun bear cup, which is actually pretty well designed to hold spills that may happen when inserting the straw.

Visited on a Thursday at 12:30 PM and had a disappointing experience. With three orders ahead, it took 31 minutes to receive two drinks. The employee managing the register and drink preparation was clearly working hard, but seemed overwhelmed. After 20 minutes, another staff member appeared but did not assist, instead observing and using their phone. No updates, explanations, or apologies were provided for the delay, which was frustrating as I had kids waiting. I sent a private message with this feedback five days ago and received no response. The drinks were excellent, but the long wait and lack of teamwork or communication make me hesitant to return. Additional staff during busy periods would greatly improve the experience.

Tried DaBoba for the 1st time and I was super disappointed. The flavors of the Roasted brown sugar pearl fresh milk with crème brûlée were underwhelming. My cup was filled with about 75% full of big ice cubes. You can see a big ice cube sticking out of the top of the crème brûlée. The boba was hard and not soft/chewy. Definitely Not worth it for $8.31 and I would not recommend them. So many other consistently better options out there such as Ku Fu tea, Gong Cha, ShareTea, Trinitea Tea, It's Boba Time San Diego, etc…

My daughter and I went to da boba for the first time. I ordered two drinks. One was made incorrectly. I informed the staff. The guy said he didn't make a mistake. I would have to pay for the drink again. I paid a second time for another drink (the correct one) the drink was still made incorrectly. He then offered to remake it a third time for free. By then I was over the whole experience.

The drinks are delicious, but there's only one person working – the cashier, who also takes the orders, cleans, and does everything else. This leads to delays of 45 minutes or more, which is not good for the business.
