San Clemente Yogurt, Tea, Coffee & Juice

I love their Yogurt! However i hate that they don’t have a set schedule to open. The lady i see there always saids «hi» nothing more or less. But love that they have cereal to add on. Thanks!
PS. Wish u could be open all the time.
3 star for their schedule.

Can I give zero stars? Called 5 times to check on hours of operation (because they like to make up their own hours depending on crowds) and spent 20 minutes on the phone to no avail. Finally, decided to go in and hope for the best. The female owner (always rude and derogatory) is hanging out behind the counter, no customers in the store, and refuses to make our drink because they are closing in 10 minutes (not what the door hours say). If you’re still open you need to make our drinks. Why the eff can’t you answer the phone. Door hours need to be modified. If you hate your job so much please find a new business to run. An eight year old could run a tighter ship.
Bummer, because their boba slushies are really yummy.

Sweet lady who runs the place. Clean establishment and their smoothies/​boba/​milk tea menu is HUGE! Very reasonable prices. We used to come here every week (until we moved)

We tried this yogurt venue on a recent trip to San Clemente. nice midway stopping point for our bike ride. Although the flavors were some of my favorites (coconut, salted caramel)…the yogurt ended up being very runny and seemed to lack the texture we are used to with some of the other yogurt places we have been to. Hopefully, this was just a bad day.

This place has pretty good milk tea and boba!
I’m from Hawaii where milk tea with boba is a pretty big thing right now. I’ve tried so many milk tea shops, some good and some bad. Moving here I thought, «omg will I be able to find a good place to get milk tea?». My husband and I came across this shop and ordered the jasmine milk tea and wow! It was pretty good. Even the boba was pretty good! My husband got the taro smoothie with boba. He let me try it and it was pretty good too! Reminded me of home :) I definitely want to come back to try the other flavors.

I was really bummed about this place. I wanted to like it, but the prices were so high and the service was really, just, not good. Their açaí bowls were about ten dollars for a large and they don’t even fill the container halfway. And on top of that, they copied all of the mixes from Banzai Bowls (another açaí place) and changed the names. After seeing the prices of the açaí, I figured I’d try some froyo, but the lady said they were out of sample cups. I hope she wasn’t just saying that. The prices of yogurt seemed standard, and I know the rent of this spot must be expensive because it’s so close to the pier, but the açaí should at least be filled up if you’re going to charge nearly 10 bucks. Bummer.

I think this place deserves a little more credit. Granted, I only get 1 thing here (royal milk boba), I feel like it’s pretty decent boba! I usually ask for less sweetener and am always acomodated. Unilocal is not a vehicle for people to tear down local businesses. So, my recommendation? Go here for the royal milk boba and take a walk to the beach. Active culture is a better bet for froyo, yes. Nourish has yummier smoothies and acai bowls. But nobody in town has boba this yummy!

Best honey milk tea Boba EVER, everyone I’m in town I make sure to come and get one. They’re always very nice and welcoming, and they added a large candy bar! Will always be coming back here

Terrible froyo. All of the flavors my husband and I tried were very icy and not creamy like yogurt at all. I wish I had the option to taste them at first so I could have found out before committing to a whole serving…
My husband got the cappuccino and some other flavors — cappuccino was literally water-​y and potent in a disgusting, punch-​you-​in-​the-​throat aftertaste type of way. Would have known to skip many flavors had we been able to try them first. Darn.
I was looking for roasted almonds in the topping bar… They only had peanuts. :\
I will give them more than 1 star because they tried to include an inventive flavor in their limited line up (pistachio) and they are capable of doing milky coffee drinks and boba smoothies but I don’t know the quality so fair warning there too.
I like supporting the small businesses of San Clemente but I’ll get my froyo where the quality is better.
I’ll be back if I want some gummies… Maybe.

This review is for there boba and macaroons everytime I’m downtown I go to this place to grab a boba and macaroons while I go shopping and I really enjoyed them

Soo yummy! I got the maui sunrise bowl and i loved it! Its a kilnpricey like $ 15.50 for two bowls but its a nice treat thats not unhealthy

We thought we would take a chance here to get a boba despite the 2.5 star review, since this is one of the only boba places in San Clemente We totally just wasted $ 5. The drink is watery, the boba is gross and chewy, and it doesn’t even taste like the flavor we ordered. DEFINITELY will not be coming back here.

They have the best smoothies ever! Yumm decent prices nice people definitely recommend it!

Pros: The blueberries, strawberries, and mochi were okay.
Cons: The almonds are stale. The peanuts are old. And the original tart icecream is mediocre.
Overall: I will not go again for yogurt.

I used to go here all the time to get my boba fix, and it’s always a gamble. Sometimes the bobas too soft or way too chewy, there’s no consistency. But I went anyways since I was basically addicted. Then, after a while, the quality went downhill VERY quickly.
It started with a milk tea that tasted nothing like normal milk tea. I would know since that’s what I order 75% of the time. The first time it tasted off, I just assumed my order was wrong, not a big deal. But the next few times I went, it was still a weird flavor. So I stopped going. (waste of money!)
After a couple of months, I went back with my sister. I ordered milk tea and my sister got Thai tea. Her Thai tea was super bland and the boba was WAY too chewy. My milk tea tasted fine at first, then all of a sudden it was INSANELY sour. Sour milk? No thank you.
After that incidence, I never went back.

This froyo place did the trick for me when I was strolling up Avenida del Mar.
They have only about 8 flavors and plenty od topings to choose from, however none of the toppings are fresh fruit.
The flavor of their froyo is more on a sugary side, and the texture is dense, but tastes watery. The flavors taste artificial.
To sum up of I enjoyed it, but I’ve tried other places that I prefer more.
That would be 3.5 stars. Still very much worth trying!

Date Visited: September 15^th, 2013
Time Visited: Around 11am
Summary of Visit: Either they make terrible drinks that taste like sugary shit and overcharges on a frozen yogurt that obviously had less than 5 ounces or they are racist bigoted assholes.
We had just had breakfast by the beach and was walking around shopping when I saw this girl drinking a boba drink. I asked where I could find a good boba drink and she directed me here.
Girl I Talked To: If you are reading this post, you suck, obviously have no taste buds and I hate you.
They have a huge selection of drinks which is the reason why most of their drinks taste like shit: There are too many variables and they cannot handle the drink making process. They have over 100 drinks you can order. This is not a bar, they do not need to have over 100 drinks on their menu, especially ones they obviously don’t know how to make. They need to remove at least 50 drinks off their menu. They need to learn to make a few awesome drinks and throw the rest away.
I ordered a Large Coffee Slush (#38) with extra boba which took them about 5 minutes to make and when they gave it to me it felt weird. The bottom of my slush (supposed to be iced) was hot. The boba they had put in was still piping hot and was swimming in hot sugar syrup. Remember, my drink was a coffee slush and is supposed to be ice cold. The coffee did not taste like coffee and with the weirdo boba scum syrup just made it worse. Boba is not supposed to taste like diabetes in a squishy ball. I literally felt like I was drinking piss water mixed with sugar. I cannot believe this place has the audacity to sell boba. It should be a crime against humanity when coffee slush doesn’t taste like coffee.
However, I shouldn’t have put too high expectation on a boba drink made in a shop not run by Asians. They could have just made a simple mistake so there goes my $ 5.45 down the drain on a shit drink which I ended up dumping out onto the side of the street.
But this was just the beginning of the horror…
My youngest brother got some serve-​yourself frozen yogurt from their small selection (vanilla to be exact) and it was his first time using the machine ever. He got a small swirl (around the small size of a McDonalds soft serve ice cream), not even 5 ounces and added some chocolate syrup. His ice cream was no more than 6, 7 ounces. Because it was his first time at a self serve place he didn’t realize that he had to remove his hands from the scale. The owner (? The old white dude) saw my brothers small amount of frozen yogurt, weighed it and looked at my brothers hands on the scale after I told my brother to take his hand off the scale but did not re-​weigh the bowl my brother was holding and charged us over $ 5 for a measly 10 bites for mediocre frozen yogurt. One ounce is 39cents and there was no way in hell he got more than a couple ounces.
However the next girl in line (white, female in her 20’s) had frozen yogurt to the brim with tons of toppings and her total ended up less than $ 4 bucks…
Excuse me? First you serve craptastic boba scum water but on top of that bull shenanigans that had just occurred, he goes ahead and purposely over charges a sad serving of frozen yogurt and then to just to let’s some white girl next in line eat an entire whore load for less? Not to mention the girl that got your crap coffee that looked completely different from mine? That is a bunch of bull crap.
Those folks that gave them a «5 Star Rating» are full of shit. Either they have been living under a damn rock their entire lives or have jacked up taste buds. I saw a lady get an «Acai» berry crap. It looked like ash brown dog diarrhea in a plastic cup, it looked disgusting, unless of course that’s what it’s supposed to look like.
It’s pretty blatant that we will never be visiting again and I highly recommend you find somewhere else to get your drinks on.

This place blows coke off piss covered public toilet seats. It’s terrible and over priced for shit quality. I could have gone to Starbucks and gotten a Venti Frapacchino and made my own boba.

I never thought I would write a review on Unilocal but this place actually made me want to write one just because of its poor quality.
I ordered a large green milk tea with extra boba.
Bad idea.
The tea was watered down and on top of that there was too much milk in it.
It tasted nothing like green tea.
The boba was over soaked and had no chewyness boba is supposed to have.
I regret not checking Unilocal before going in

Honestly this place gave me the worst boba drink I’ve ever had in my life. I ordered milk green tea with boba– they put way too much milk. The quality of the boba itself was atrocious. I asked them to redo the drink completely, but they just added more tea so it would balance out the extra milk. It helped somewhat, but like I said, the quality was just BAD. I couldn’t even finish my drink.

I took my three kids here for an after school treat last week, and within 15 minutes we were all running for the bathroom — food poisoning! There was no other place we could have gotten sick from (picked them up from school, went straight there) The yogurt tasted warm when we got it, but I didn’t really think much of it — until we all got sick! When I called the manager to tell her what had happened, she argued with me — seriously, all she had to do was say that she would look into it, review their temperatures and cleaning routines, etc. But no, instead she argued — guess she doesn’t care that my entire family was sick from her restaurant, nor does she care what her store’s reputation is.
Do yourself a HUGE favor and go up two blocks to Velvet Yogurt.
