Q:
Do they have oat milk as a substitute?
A:
Hello David! All our milk teas are non-dairy. We could also sub oatmilk for any drink if you’d prefer. Thank you!

I've been to Daboba multiple times and every time I am FAR from being disappointed. The assortment of drinks are huge and have liked every single one so far.
My favorites so far have been the Thai green tea and matcha brown sugar. I can be pretty picky about my Thai Tea but they nailed it. Also, the boba is great and has the perfect amount of chewiness and sweetness.
The inside is spacious and a great place to study or just hang out. The cashier helped us right as we walked in and the drinks came out super fast as well! Definitely put this on the list to try.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 3453172878Apr 18, 2024
Located on 4411 mercury street, Unit 105B, San Diego, CA 92111.
We were thirsty after running some errands and googled the nearest Boba shop. Daboba had great reviews and was down the block from where we were. We pulled up, noticed lots of parking spaces in the private lot along side with other shops.
Walked right in, few customers were lounging around, minding their own business. The cashier helped us with our orders. Quick service! They have lots of tea, boba, toppings and yogurt selections. I went with passion fruit green tea, my kid got the green tea sweetness of 1/2 and my cousin had the mixed grains yogurt. The drinks were good! It was perfect not too overly sweet. My cousin raved about his yogurt drink and will return in the future.
I've noticed it was spacious and very clean inside the shop. You can lounge, study or hang with friends. They have gender neutral bathroom. Cute wall decor. Modern table and chairs.Helpful 11Thanks 1Love this 10Oh no 0 - Apr 5, 2024

She thicc and laughs at all my jokes....its like new love and I'm already planning on making plans to see her again. The roasted brown sugar tea got me making plans to come back

This place is absolutely AMAZING. I wanted a Thai tea and this is by far the BEST Thai tea I have ever had. The boba was made perfectly no hard texture in the middle. The tea was creamy and so so so good.
They have a huge parking lot, the ambiance is fun, fresh and clean. So cute and can't recommend enough of you haven't already you need to check this place out!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jan 15, 2024
I got the Cheese Oolong Tea, which was not bad! The cheese foam was creamy and not too sweet. The oolong wasn't as fragrant as I hoped though. I really enjoyed the texture of the boba! Perfectly chewy and a little sweet.
Lots of seating inside and parking is pretty easy in the plaza! The line to order took a while on a Sunday night. The menu is very extensive, so there's something for everyone. I recommend trying their Brown Sugar Series or the Purple Rice Yogurt! Very solid menu options.Helpful 11Thanks 2Love this 18Oh no 0 - 213299324Jan 4, 2024Updated review
Had someone watching the little one and wanted something sweet. Decided to stop in and I got a crème Brûléed tip which gets lost in the plastic topper. The milk tea was so good. I highly recommend stopping in.
As far as the location, there's plenty of seating and we enjoyed hanging out for a bit.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Jun 3, 2023Previous reviewWent to our normal spot and it was randomly closed and decided to go with the closest alternative. Thankfully it was Daboba. I got a brown sugar milk pearl tea. It also offered a brûléed cheese in top. It was so exciting.
The service was quick. There was a person in front of us who ordered 12 drinks and I was nervous about how long it was going to take and it was quick to get our drinks back.
The space was clean and I could see coming back with friends and having a drink and game time. The parking lot isn't the biggest but there's a ton of 30 minute spots. - Jan 15, 2024
Their mango frappe is one of my favorite versions of a mango smoothie! The added yogurt on top is an added bonus.
The service is a bit slow during the couple times I've been here, and the drinks are a bit on the pricier side. I think I paid $8 for my drink. There's a bunch of small tables for seating inside, so it seems like a good place to sit with a couple friends.
FYI, if you order a frappe and add toppings, they automatically upsize you to a large.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 15, 2024Updated review1 check-in
I'm always on the hunt to try a new boba place. Daboba has been on the list for a while and glad to have finally made it. I had the roasted brown sugar pearl milk tea and my bf had the fresh taro green milk tea. I opted mine to be a little less sweet and I thought it was a perfectly sweet boba treat. I also tried a sip (or 2, lol) of my bf's fresh taro green milk tea. There was a subtle sweetness and the fresh taro was amazing. Staff was nice, and the space was larger for a boba spot with plenty of seating. Parking wasn't bad either, thankfully for Kearney Mesa. We came here in the evening and plenty of parking spots.

I had the roasted brown sugar pearl milk tea and my boyfriend had the fresh taro green milk tea. We both loved our drinks. I also had a couple sips of the taro and it was subtly sweet and fresh. My drink was on the sweeter side as expected, with the top bruleed like a creme brulee, adding a little crunch with each sip. Came here on a Saturday night. Parking was easy and it wasn't too busy. Drinks came out quick, and we were in and out in no time. There's a lot of seats in case you're wanting to hang around. Will definitely come back soon to try a different drink.

Delicious, classic boba and a spacious cafe is the perfect combo for some tea-spilling late nights. I went with a basic brown sugar milk tea this time but it was really good and if they can nail that I'm sure their specials are good too. I asked for double boba because places always skimp but there was no need, actually it was too much! There are plenty of tables that go all the way back and drink orders come out quickly. Great quality, I'll be back !
