La Mesa Deserves a Cup
This Good
Handcrafted bubble tea, artisan pastries, and a warmth that makes University Avenue feel like home — one pearl at a time.
Our Story
Rooted in La Mesa,
Brewed with Intention
Cherrie Blossom Tea & Boba was born from a simple conviction: that a great cup of tea deserves as much care as a fine wine. What started as a passion for authentic bubble tea became a gathering place for our neighbors on University Avenue.
Every blend is sourced thoughtfully. Every pearl is cooked to order. Every visit is an invitation to slow down, sit with someone you care about, and taste the difference that intention makes.
Our Craft
The Details That Matter
Every element of your drink is chosen with purpose — from leaf to pearl to pour.
Leaf-Grade Tea
We source whole-leaf and high-grade loose-leaf teas from trusted growers in Taiwan, Japan, and China. No dust. No bags. Just real tea.
Pearls, Cooked Fresh
Our tapioca pearls are simmered in small batches throughout the day. Chewy, never gummy — and always cooked to order.
Milk, Your Way
Whole milk, oat, almond, soy, or macadamia — we offer the full range of dairy and plant-based options, always fresh and never pre-mixed.
Sweetness, Controlled
Choose your sweetness level — from no sugar to full. We use real cane sugar, agave, and honey so you always know exactly what's in your cup.
"The best bubble tea I've had outside of Taiwan. The brown sugar milk tea here is unreal — you can taste the care in every sip."
— A La Mesa Regular
"Finally, a spot on University Ave that feels special. The matcha latte is perfection, and the mochi bites are the cherry on top."
— Neighborhood Visitor
"I bring everyone who visits San Diego here. It's become our family tradition — Cherrie Blossom is just different. Warm, personal, and delicious."
— Local Family Favorite
