Reviews for Poppy Kitchen Boba Cafe in San Diego, CA

Tried this for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. I had the grilled chicken rice bowl with side of fresh... tomatoes, cucumbers, and pickled onions and nori sauce. Very tasty. I will try it again and ask for extra chicken. Vietnamesecoffee was tasty and refreshing. Kudos to the staff who was extremely friendly and helpful. It not speedy or fast, but notoverly long wait either. I was happy overall. Read more

The drink I got was expensive and tasted very mediocre. I ordered an avocado and black sesame smoothie but couldn?t taste any... avocado flavor. The boba was still hard in the middle. The drink was probably 22 oz and it costs $7.35 (the prices on the menuat the time were not updated!) plus $1 extra for boba. So it came out to be $9 after tax! For a boba smoothie! I know inflationis a lot but this is a bit too much, especially when the quality is 2 out of 10 and they don?t even have an actual store, just asmall kiosk so the overhead costs shouldn?t be that much compared to a shop!

I?m really impressed by this super cute drive-through boba shop. You might think their price is not cheap but when you know what... do they use for your drinks, you will agree it is totally worthy. They do all their things from scratch, all naturalingredients. All the drinks? milk is lactose-free 2% fat fresh milk! Is that impressive? I never see any other shops do that.Their tapioca balls are made by themselves only with 3 ingredients. If you like matcha, they also have matcha tapioca balls, soyummy! The drink I had is Game Set Matcha with matcha tapioca balls, the flavor is black sesame with matcha, it is definitely sodelicious. I totally ???? recommend this place. Also you can choose your sweet level! Read more

The boba drink we ordered tasted just like sweet water with minimal flavor. No rich texture to it. The topping cost ($1.00) is a... bit on the higher side compared to good boba places with ambience and seating. I would recommend the owner to give a couple ofsugar levels and increase richness to the texture. Read more

I got 4 drinks: Vietnamese coffee, cold brew, tiger mom knows best, and thank you berry matcha. All of theme were amazing and we... couldn't get enough of them! Their drinks are super tasty, the customer service was super nice, they are community friendly, andtheir small drive up is very convenient. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking for some good drinks.

Great customer service and really friendly staff. Super cute spot right in the heart of Rancho Bernardo. Definitely give this... place a chance. You won't regret it. I had a challenge on my initial visit, and the owner got a hold of me directly to makethings right. Very much appreciate the attention to detail and customer service. Read more

Cool concept. Love the names of the drinks. Tasted average. I may have to order something different. The boba just doesn?t live... up to the hype. I just expected more. I may come back and try something different. Read more

Lemon grass tofu, Delicious! It has jalapeños, it?s good for me. I like the pork, but because they were out of pork, I decided... to try something new. Totally opposite ends from pork. It was good. Read more
