Not bad at all. They have these Oreo boba fusion drinks that aren’t bad at all. Kinda tasty actually. The location is a bit tough since the parking is small. But a great dessert place to walk over and get after you eat dinner at one of the food areas close by!

A great desert establishment! The food is aesthetically appealing, but most importantly, its delicious. There is a great variety of desert to choose from, which makes it so there is something for anyone. The environment isnt amazing, but its pretty good and I love the lighting. The staff is polite, so good customer service. Will come back.

Pleasing aesthetic with a well-decorated interior. Their music selection complements it quite well. The cashier as well as her coworkers were exceptionally helpful and assisted me in choosing what drink would suit my taste best. Very well staffed, resulting in my friends and I receiving our orders quite quickly. My wintergreen milk tea wasnt mindblowing, but it tasted good enough that when coupled with the environment, I had quite a pleasant experience.

The puffers are delicious, it’s the perfect balance between sweet and softness. You don’t need to add to many toppings to make a great deseert.Also the coffee frappe is really good

Review β„–14

The puffles are UNBEATABLE. Low key came here twice in a weekend while visiting SD. The charcoal oreo one is crunchy on the outside and almost like a brownie cake on the inside. I added both taro and vanilla custards with cheesecake bites fruits and peanut butter drizzle. So worth.

Review β„–18

Interestingly built and yummy desserts, especially impressed by the Puffle menu.The Boba drinks are excellent and not overly sweet as they sometimes tend to be.Service is fast and the crew is cheerful and knowledgeable.Parking tends to be a problem in the evenings so you may have to circle around for a while but its well worth it.

OMG our first time and definitely won’t be the last! Newly discovered β€œPUFFLE!” You NEED this in your life! We tried the Purple Oreo and it was AMAZING! Just waited a few minutes to have it freshly made and SO worth the wait! Definitely recommend.FYI - parking lot available, tho very busy and frequently packed. Again, WORTH the wait! Cute but limited seating area. Bathroom and overall venue was clean. Frequent purchase card available too. Enjoy!

Review β„–24

I love Asian desserts... it always involves ice cream, mochi, and some kind of pastry. Their puffle cones are awesome! I usually just make my own- get fruit and mochi! Their milk teas are also good and flavorful. Dont come on a Saturday night, super busy!

Review β„–26

This place has really good desserts! Love the warmth of paffle with custard. I have tried a few flavors. All were tasty but not overly sweet. The kids enjoy their ice with dole whip topping. The only negative is parking. This shopping center doesnt seem to have enough parking for numbers of restaurants in there.

Review β„–27

So many options for Boba and desserts. We ended up here after lunch for dessert and only knew what we wanted from a photo. The staff were so friendly and helpful to recreate a photo and add a twist. Mochi was fresh, strawberries were sweet, and chocolate chip puffle was crisp. Pineapple vanilla swirl ice cream was perfect.

Boba Bar was super crowded when we went tonight--hoped that would be a good sign but it just felt rushed and the Jasmine Green Milk Tea with Boba, 50% sugar, was just okay. The tea tasted like it had been overbrewed, with too much bitterness. I probably wouldnt come again.

Da
Review β„–29

Everything I order is super delicious. Good service. There is always a lot of people at boba bar, so it just goes to show how great it is. The only negative is the amount of parking. The shopping center has limited free parking and its always crowded. Do not park in another shops spot, they will chase you out!

Review β„–30

A small place with a small parking lot. The best part is that it is open till 12:00 AM.We tried the Green Boba Tea and the purple Puffle. The green boba tea was nearly made to perfection with a sweet yet strong taste. It had really nice texture and giving a really nice green tea taste.The puffle was the best. It is basically a puffle which is made like a waffle, which holds icecream. This specific one has vanilla softy and Taro icecream. Both parts were incredibly delicious.A definite visit again!

Review β„–31

Been back a few times now. Great quality boba goes well with their milk teas and various smoothies. They offer a decent array of cold desserts from custards, ice cream, and even dole whip.Their waffle dessert topped with mochi and ice cream of your choosing is really what you go there for to fill that sweet tooth.Dont forget your five star account to hit those reward points for more future visits !

We had the Matcha green tea one, the cereal milk one and the paradise one without the mango. All were so good but my favourite was the cereal milk, oh my, it was amazing! All made to order so take a few mins but I think it was like 5 mins so not long at all. Worth the wait with the warm puffle!

Parking is a nightmares, but once you get inside, the staff are nice and helpful, and the desserts are amazing! The custard has a strong vanilla flavor, and the portions are either average or generous. But again, beware the parking!

Best boba smoothie ever! Matcha green tea smoothie is super cold and creamy. The boba is warm in the bottom. The contrast is wonderful and so satisfying. Love the shop and the people. Super clean and efficient. Parking is a bear, so go during off hours, or pray to your parking angels because you must get boba!

Review β„–44

This place is an amazing gem. The service was fast and friendly and very very detailed about the order. The custard with smooth and mellow and had just the right amount of oreo to not be a complete mess. The store was very clean, has a nice restroom, and minimally decorated. It was also a little busy so clearly this place is doing something right. The item I got was a blackout sundae I believe. Super scrumptious. You may want to bring a friend unless youre because its a generous serving. Its well priced for the quality and care they take to make sure your food looks as good as it tastes.

Im writing this review during covid times so its only a review of the drinks, not the inside dining experience or anything like that. We ordered the Earl grey milk tea with 1/4th sugar and strawberry milk tea with boba. The Earl grey with reduced sweetness was perfect. It had a noticble early grey flavor with just enough sweetness that it wasnt overpowering. The strawberry milk tea with normal sugar was refreshing and surprisingly not overly sweet either.

This place was AMAZING! We walked past it several times without thinking much but when we went inside we were shocked how cute it was and what a large and diverse menu they had! the people working had excellent service and were able to answer all of our questions about the drinks.the drinks were SO GOOD Im so picky about boba and this place was definitely one of my favorites! we got the brown sugar milk tea with boba and WOW we almost bought another before we left.the only negative is parking is a little scarce but theres a parking structure right around the corner.overall awesome place 100% reccomend!!

Review β„–52

Update, 2020-07-15: We ordered a Cookies and Cream and a Chocolate Chip smoothie with boba. The order was ready so fast I couldnt believe it. The 2 drinks looked identical, but one said c & c in black marker, and the other one said c c. The drinks were ready so fast because they made 2 cookies and cream. No big deal right? My daughter does not like cookies and cream, nor was she looking forward to it. I think they should change the code they use for the two drinks so the person making the drinks doesnt easily get confused. This time and the last time we went the boba wasnt so great. Were probably going to stop coming here.---- end update ---We went on Friday night. I ordered a lychee green tea with boba, large. I drank it very slowly on the way home and was done with it before I knew it. It has way too much ice in it, so I dont feel I got even close to my moneys worth. The boba was smaller than usual, and Im not sure why. As for freshness, it seemed fresh. When we got there, there was only a small line. Otherwise it was good. Next time Ill have to remember to ask for less ice.

So, if yall aint heard of a PUFFLE---you have a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the wonders of this fresh to order, warm, puffy waffle. Theres even one with melty chocolate mixed throughout, (Oreo puffle). This is the only item Im going to review, but dont even get me started on the drinks. (Honeydew Milk Tea w/Boba x2).Overall, Id give em 5 stars through and through.... Everytime.πŸ₯³Long Live the PuffleπŸŽ‰

Ordered their new Puffle, Going bananas with no PB and added strawberries instead. Custard is delish and creamy. Puffle was crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside. Also ordered the vietnamese iced coffee, pretty good too. Another great dessert place for Convoy! Short wait times are a plus

Review β„–65

Cool spot for boba and ice cream. You can get puffles and other things from here. They make the puffle when ordered so it will take 7 to 9 minutes to come out. Which is no problem at all. I would rather have a fresh one anyways.The taro ice cream is so good. The mochi is amazing. This whole thing was so good.I cant wait to come back and try other flavors

Review β„–78

It was a great & unique dessert spot. My daughter is a part time barista on her campus (SDSU); and she noticed they used all tea with the Mango syrup. Other big brands do about half and add water.Some of the desserts were amazing visually as well, which kids were smiling ear to ear over.Try one of the MANY restaurants there on Convoy St. And head over to the Boba Bar for a different and affordable Dessert.

Review β„–79

With my honest experience here in this location was well. Great service all around. Location was kept up and clean at all times. However the price point was a lol high for my opinion. And the overall taste was smeh. For the presentation is the selling point not the actual taste. Taste for not match with appearance. Just basically an icecream treat in a standard/flavor waffle cone fill with treats. Its ok to me. But I wont return anytime soon or this since the taste was a let down. If taste was better on a scale of beyond and great then yes I would return. But highly unlikely that will happen. Fine for a first time date but not a second time.

A spin on the next dessert to have off of Convoy. Quick friendly service. Tasty dessert thats not as sweet as youd think. Pretty flavorful. The soft serve vanilla ice cream is a nice change from all of the flavored snow ice nearby. The puffle waffle has flavors incorporated in it (strawberry flavored puffle for the Strawberry Cheesecake). Located where the old Dumpling Inn used to be. Theres a unisex restroom in the back. I remember when it was the Dumpling Inn restaurant, they said, No bathroom! Go to market next door! Grrrr LOL. Now this place lets you use the no bathroom.

Review β„–83

Fantastic drinks and frozen goodies!!! Friendly staff. Only reason I cannot give it 5 stars is a random person from the back came to the front, grabbed our cups sticking her fingers inside with her dirty gloves. She moved our cups, and just walked away. With times as they are, I dont know what youve touched or where those gloves have been. I asked the other young lady that helped us out if she could change the cups, which she did without hesitation.

Review β„–98

This place serves deserts. Puffle = puffed waffle. We can fill the puffle with either chocolate, green tea or nothing. And then add a scoop of ice cream. Taro and vanilla custard will be the top options. Finally for the toppings, there are lots of options like lychee jelly, mochi, cheesecake, Oreo crumbs, caramel, powdered sugar, cream and more. Also they have prebuilt combinations, purple Oreo will be my favorite.
