Discover DaBoba Chula Vista: A New Favorite for Boba Lovers!
There has been so much local buzz on this new spot, and it’s all about DaBoba Chula Vista! On October 23rd, residents and city business leaders celebrated the grand opening of DaBoba, the city’s newest boba tea shop, located at 1478 Melrose Place in Chula Vista. With an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, the community welcomed a new spot. DaBoba promises to offer an exciting variety of organic teas, coffees, yogurts, and smoothies—all brewed to perfection. Let’s dive in and explore why this new boba shop is becoming a local favorite!
Fresh Teas Brewed to Perfection
Originally established in 2018, DaBoba takes pride in its carefully brewed teas, and this is its first location in Chula Vista. Owner Kien Li shared that their teas are brewed for over an hour to create flavors that shine through—whether it’s their black tea, green tea, Japanese Oolong, or 4 Season teas (a blend that provides a balanced taste of all four types of tea throughout the year). And then there’s the boba. Each pearl is brewed for two hours to get that perfect “not too soft, not too hard” consistency that boba fans adore.
“We make sure our teas strike a balance between sweetness and freshness,” Kien said. DaBoba’s drinks offer a refreshing contrast to some of the overly sweet options at other tea shops, pairing the richness of tea with just the right amount of sweetness.
What Makes DaBoba Chula Vista Stand Out
DaBoba has a signature drink that’s already winning hearts: the Roasted Brown Sugar Milk Tea. This popular favorite features fresh milk tea with boba pearls, topped with a creamy cheese foam and torched just like a crème brûlée. With each sip, you get a mix of flavors—the roasted brown sugar, the creaminess, and the smooth tea—an absolute must-try if you’re visiting.
Kien, a Chula Vista resident, is especially proud to open DaBoba in his own neighborhood. Supporting local businesses like DaBoba helps strengthen our community and keeps the local spirit alive. “We grew up here in Chula Vista. It feels amazing to serve the people we’ve known for so long,” he said. That local connection is making the experience even sweeter for visitors.

Community Connection and a Local Hangout
DaBoba isn’t just another boba tea spot; it’s a place where locals come together. The grand opening was filled with energy—even Chula Vista’s mayor came out to show support. The community has embraced DaBoba, and it’s quickly becoming a go-to spot for friends and families to relax, chat, and enjoy a refreshing drink.
Visitors have already left glowing reviews, talking about the inviting interior and the perfect setup for both groups and individuals. One customer shared, “I really like the clean interior, the color scheme is neutral and relaxing. The group setup is intimate and private, making it perfect for gatherings.” Many have noted the space’s clean and welcoming, with comfortable seating for everyone. And if you’re concerned about parking, no worries! DaBoba’s location offers plenty of space, making it an easy stop for your boba cravings.
What Are People Saying?
Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. One visitor mentioned, “I got the brown sugar milk tea, and my husband got the green tea with light sugar. I loved my drink! It was refreshing and not too sweet. The boba was cooked to perfection. We’ll definitely be coming back!” Another noted, “They don’t dilute the flavor by adding extra water when you order less ice. They use more tea or milk, which keeps the flavor strong. I love that!”
This local approach—listening to community feedback and maintaining the highest quality—has helped DaBoba Chula Vista stand out among its competitors. The shop is committed to using high-quality ingredients and delivering an authentic and innovative experience.
