      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.

      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.

      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!

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Quick and friendly service, many drink options and cute shop to sit and enjoy. Great late night option and one of my favorites of the other boba shops around.

      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.

      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 !
