★★★★★ 5.0 Sadie Ortiz · Oct 2025

I decided to try the kiwi slushy on a whim, and it totally hit the spot. It's tart and sweet at the same time, so you get this refreshing kick that wakes you up without being too sugary . I'm a big fan of fruit‑forward drinks that actually taste like the fruit, and this one delivers. The boba adds some fun chewiness, and the whole thing just feels like summer in a cup. It's the sort of drink I could see myself craving on a hot day, and it's a nice change of pace from more traditional milk teas.😍

I am an LA native and anytime I come to visit SD. I always have to come. Drinks are always amazing. The staff is always welcoming and sweet. Definitely recommend the peach mango snow bubble with their gold looking boba. So good! They also have macaroons on display with many flavors. I’ve also tried their matcha snow bubble and it tasted like a watered down matcha. Willing to try again next time maybe a mistake was made.

I tried the popcorn chicken today and it was so gooodd!!! It's a decent size for the price and fills me up enough for the afternoon. It pairs perfectly with any tea. I tried it on a whim and now almost always add it to my order.

Vanitea needs to hire more people or someone experienced in customer service. Having 1 person working in the front when the store is busy is just wrong. I stood at the register for 15 minutes today at 1:15 pm..trying to place an order and the employee didn't even notice me or say" hi I'll be with you in a minute " . She answered the phone while I was standing there and took their order first. After 15 minutes,I finally had to say something. My order was finally placed at 1:30pm. I've never had issues here until today.
