Buddha Bubbles Boba

First off they were out of Viet Coffee, they don’t got red bean to add to drinks. They couldn’t break $ 100, and the Thai tea slush I ordered tasted like straight Colgate. Have yet to find a good boba spot in Temecula.

1. THEY DO NOT ACCEPT CASH
2.THEIR BOBA DRINKS ARE NASTY!!!
3.CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE
Finally getting around to this review. First of all everybody needs to know that THEY DON’T ACCEPT CASH (this alone pissed me off)!!! Yes, i have NEVER EVER been to ANY business establishment that rejected cash. I was very upset.
My husband and I started our Valentine’s Day/​Anniversary by getting a massage a few doors down. We planned to go to SD after the massage so we wanted to get a drink for the ride. I’ve been wanting to try this place out for a while. As we walk in, it’s a cute little spot with modern-​looking furniture. We ordered the taro slushie with boba. I tried to pay cash and the girl says «Oh sorry, we don’t accept cash!!» My husband pulls out his debit card to pay. I already did not like that… WTF kind of business does not accept cash!!! I understand that it’s the «new form» of payment to have a debit/​credit card but some people still carry cash!!!
The girl AND the guy seemed to have an attitude because we tried to pay cash, but whatever. They were snobby and very unfriendly (try taking customer service classes). I felt like I wasn’t welcome.
It took them 15 minutes to make our drinks (I’m not sure why… NOBODY was there). So we got our drinks… GROSS!!! It was the worst taro boba slushie I’ve EVER had my whole entire life!!! It tasted like chlorine…(water-chlorine balance is waaaaay off). Aside from the chlorine taste, it was grainy and powdery… and not as flavorful as it should be. I was so upset that I ended up throwing it away as soon as we got to Horton Plaza.
DO NOT GO HERE! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME/​DEBIT-​CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS HERE! Go to the Juice Bar in the Target shopping center instead.

Im finally getting to this review. I tried this place because i love boba… specifically 7 leaves kine tea. Unfortunately we dont have one of those in the area. But i digress thiss review is for the boba i ordered. I ordered a royal milk tea boba and it was gross and not mixed well. I get it, its powdered mix but cmon at least make sure its thoroughly mixed before serving. It was very grainy. My husband ordere a slush and that was fine but i for sure eont be coming back.

Delicious boba and great service. My husband is obsessed! I’m not even that big of a fan of boba but I like the slushies. Too bad it’s in a weird location, but overall they’re good and I hope they do well!

First off, I ordered a typical 2 Thai tea boba, one blended and one iced. Simple. Right? Hard to mess up if you’re a boba drink place. Two, it took about 25 min to get one of my drinks… Mind you it wasn’t busy at all. Got one drink which was my iced Thai tea and it was not iced at all and hardly had any milk. Asked them if I can add more ice and milk and one of the guys working did it with such attitude! BTW it was exactly the same but warmer! While the other young lady barely started to make my blended one … these two were behind the counter just bickering at each other instead of working together and doing the job. Never coming back. Better off going to a donut shop for Boba Drinks.

Definitely will not be coming back here again. I ordered a small Taro, and quite honestly, it was by far the worst one I’ve ever had. The Taro itself was powdery, and the blend seemed icy … … it just tasted wrong. The boba tasted almost frozen when you bite into them it’s hard and it seems though it’s been skinned with the bite… Just bad. After one sip & a few boba’s, I threw it away.
The store it self is cute. Very colorful & playful.

Should’ve gone with some of the reviews here. I ordered an almond milk tea, no boba. What did I actually get? A slushee that vaguely tasted like almond. And with boba. I asked why it was a slushee when I ordered a milk tea and apparently it’s supposed to be a slushee. Never coming back

This is the worst boba I’ve had. It’s completely artificial. I went in and asked for three boba milk teas, honeydew, banana, and taro. The guy making them handed us slushed boba and I said something about it and asked him why it was a slush and not milk tea. He responded by telling me that this was the only way they made them. My boba pearls were so hard I couldn’t even suck them through the straw.

Im a big fan of buddha bubbles boba! I wish their boba was a little squishier and softer cause sometimes its hard. But most the times ive been its been good the flavors taste delicious!
I suggest getting the taro milk tea w/​boba. You wont regret it. ⁵⁄₅. The interior of the shop makes it all better and occasionally play cartoons on netflix, which makes it a great spot to bring the kids.

You know what? I had a good experience here despite all the bad reviews. The worker was great and very informative. The flavors that were chosen for me were good. Grabbed the taro for my wife and she liked it… I grabbed the coconut green tea which was good as well. This time I tried the lychee popping boba which was surprising. I didn’t know how it was going to be but I’m glad I got a neutral type flavor compared to the others. My son picked up the watermelon and it didn’t taste like sugar. I’m glad I was craving boba it forced me to try this place. So at least I now know if I would go here next time. Thank you for your help whoever that was working thanksgiving day.

Where do I begin? First of all I should have checked this place out on here b4 even considering it but I went at the spare of the moment during my 30min lunch break yesterday. HUGE mistake. Upon arriving there was no one there. I waited a few minutes b4 the girl working the register finally poked her head out and acknowledged me. She was working on orders for the 2 customers that were there b4 me. She took so long I thought she was working on phone orders. I asked her if she was the only person working she said yes. To have one person (who is not that fast) working during lunch rush isn’t smart.
Anyway when it finally got to my turn I asked her what she recommended and she said mango boba, this was music to my ears bc I love mangoes so I went with that. She suggested the «milk» tea. When it was done I tried it and it tasted like sugar slushy!!! And as for the mango flavor and «milk» those 2 things must have been all sugar. I asked for a refund and she didn’t even know how to do one, she had to pull some guy from the back to do it! I don’t know why this dude wasn’t helping her in the first place! He came out 2 minutes later on his phone and I could see he was on Instagram… REALLY?!! (mind you I am on a 30 min lunch). I also ordered the waffle bliss. About 5 minutes b4 my lunch time was over she asked me what I wanted on the waffle… SERIOUSLY!!! It’s a WAFFLE BLISS LOOK AT YOUR MENU AND MAKE ME THE WAFFLE BLISS!!! At that point I was over it I told her I needed to be back to work in a few minutes. She goes to the back again for about 2 minutes and the same guy from b4 comes out and says «we are all out of batter it will be another 10−15minutes to have your waffle ready.» In my head I’m thinking; «Wait, so you mean all this waiting and you are just now making waffle batter what was I waiting for this entire time!!!»
So at the end I got a refund, walked out of there with NOTHING to eat, and I ended up being 10 minutes late from lunch. I was starving all day didn’t eat until I got home late that day.
To this business: You guys shouldn’t even be running a business until you learn how to run it. This is by far the worst service I have ever had.
To Unilocalers: Save your time and money and avoid this place. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I wish I could give it zero stars but 1 will do. I created a Unilocal account just to review this place because that is how awful it was all around.
The atmosphere was just ok and the boba was rock hard with poor flavor. What really got me was how rude the owner/​manager is. I read some of the other reviews and other people have witnessed the same thing. This guy needs to get his act together.
If you are a prospective customer save your money. If you are looking for employment, apply elsewhere because you don’t want to work for this man based off of what I have read and seen myself. If he reads this I hope he starts to treat his employees and customers with respect and kindness, you run a boba shop, get over yourself.

4 Stars for customer service.
3 Stars for quality of their drinks.
Averages 3.5 but let’s just round up to 4 because I’ll be back.
I wasn’t greeted when I walked in, and when they saw me waiting to order while they made a drink I wasn’t even acknowledged. NBD but it would have been appreciated… other than that they were really nice guys who just seemed overwhelmed with the number of orders they had to make. Coming from OC I know boba places and this is definitely a beginner boba shop with inexperienced workers. The cashier seemed a little flustered and nervous? But really nice. They even offered to remake my drink if it wasn’t sweet enough.
The drink? I ordered a Milk Tea with Boba over ice. Simple, nothing fancy. I’ve had better but it wasn’t bad. The boba was fine, I felt a little cheated on my boba because there wasn’t much but the drink overall was alright, just a tad strong. Prices were fair, average prices for boba from what I’ve seen. I’ll be back to give their other drinks a try, maybe even their shaved ice when it becomes available. Very cute little shop, needs some more color but very clean. I’d recommend they get more staff in there for a Saturday but I’ll be returning. :)

Today was the day I gave this place second chance! My first visit was more than a month ago, I think it was when they first opened. I was excited to taste their boba, but the boba was rock hard and not cooked properly. The taste wasn’t the best either (not bad) but not great.
Then today happened. I ordered a boba again (the boba was cooked correctly) and I ordered 2 cookies. Still not blown away.
BUT THE MANAGER /​OWNER (I assume thats who he was) was so incredibly rude and disrespectful to the poor girl working the front counter I was dumbfounded. If I were her I’d sue this place for harassment or public humiliation. He was very condescending to her in front of me while ordering, while sitting in the lounge she did something and he said very clearly to this girl «You are seriously lacking brain power, are you that stupid?». I couldn’t believe it!
Once this guy went into to the back room I had to tell this girl «Don’t let him talk to you like that, you are doing fine».
He put her on blast 2 or 3 more times while I was there. Even if she is new that is totally unacceptable.
I’m not sure if that was his daughter or if they were related in some way (It doesn’t look like it), but it got to the point where it made me uncomfortable to be there. I’ll never come here again!
And if that poor girl happens to read this, please quit Honey. You don’t deserve to put up with that! Family or not…

This place didn’t really hit it for me.
Drinks are always OFF, I’ve gotten about 4 – 5 drinks here and none of them taste how they should, how can you mess up a Thai tea?
Will I be back? Maybe. It just didn’t feel right in there, maybe a change of décor would help.

Ask the guy is this good for u … He replied yes … I ask how … He then said i dont know … Smh

Honestly they’re not that great. The boba is too hard and when my boyfriend ordered a smoothie it ended up being too sweet and tasted like it had a lot of flavoring added to it and it just wasn’t made well.

The boba is not chewy, stiffer, on a scale of stale to chewable, it would be ⁵⁄₁₀. It’s terrible.
A bunch of guys working feel like the flavors were eyeballed or something.
The price is not worth the milk tea either. $ 3.45 for a regular (smallest) with boba? And neither of the flavors we got (avocado, strawberry banana) were good.
The flavors are not good, boba sucked, prices are high. I’m sorry but this place is not worth it at all. Very big disapppointment.

I love Bobba, have been drinking Taro Bobba for a long time now. And i wasn’t impressed with this one. It tasted like just a mix of flavored powder and water and ice, it was missing the dairy flavor. No effort in the drink at all.
The young lady that was there preparing the drinks had like an attitude. The client that was before me ordered two drinks and for what it seemed, the young lady didn’t prepared like she asked for. And I thought oh bad luck, maybe a misunderstanding. But when was the time to prepare my drink, she prepared a milk tea with boba and shaked, when what I asked for was a Taro tea with boba and blended. Not only that but she gave me like attitude when I corrected her mistake
The place looks great, and clean, and nice set up. But it gets ruined by the staff and bad preparation of the drinks.

Very good. Moderately priced. Friendly staff. The placement of things is very similar to other boba places but at least there is plenty of room. They are very good for just opening.
